TnE PRINCESS, for some time past one Of the reign
ing bellies Of the mississippi il not the queen, has
Just come over from Algiersa bride Messrs. Hassam
d Anderson were the ministers who oficfated, and
performed the delightful change the Crescent Dry
DOCK oelng the chapel in which the business was
DONE 50 magnificently was the change performed !;
new decks, and new things all over. and a general
rejuVenation from stem to stern. and from keeI q
hurricane deck not to mention bridal robe Of white
outside, and all the dainty inside and under ixines
according that the godfathers Of the beautifaF
creature made the fee Of the occasion some sI50
or $40 900.
To speak little more definitely, the Princess i
now far more stauneh and beautiful boat than ever
she was before. The upcountry builders may throw
themselves in turning ont belle of steamboat;
but is not until she has got little shabby in her
maiden exercise, and is snecesstated to marry Algers
that she comes out in the full perfection of her
strength and beauty.
The Princess, with her consorts Of the Yfcksbnrg
trade, the Natchez and the Vicksburg, adds the
finish to the finest river packet line in the world
This may be sound rather lond but then it must be
remembered that no river in the world has such a
steam navigation as the Mississippi, and that the
cotton and sugar part of the Mississippi eclipses an
its other parts Therefore, the Princess, Natchez,
and Ycksburg form the greatest line orfver packets
on the face Of the earth. Each of the three is q
model of strength, beauty and speed, and each Of
the three offers uxnries OF table and general accom-
mediation which the most prncely hotels cannot sur
pass.
The Princess resumes tomorrow evening place
in the Yicksburg trade; and those who may feel
like going and paying her their compliments, after
being made bride By Messrs. Hassam and Anderson,
will not by any means regret the time expended
posite the Second District steamboat landing begins
to show blufflike edge to the receding waters.
Crowds of people walked up and down the bar yes
terday, for the novelty Of the thing and one little
steamer-tbe Dick Nash-was laying up to it, appa-
rently quite couteued in the absence of any sort Of
privilege at the wharves above or below. Whether
she had to pay wharfage for tying up to the mud or
not we did not learn.
The bar extends four squares-from Canal to St.
Louis street-and the whole breadth Of the evee for
that distance, clear and clean as billiard table
Below ST. Louis street, however, where the big eddy
cks in to the shore, there is reverse state Of affairs
The wooden wharf has been so far undermined, that
portion-the sIanting part called the apron-has
been torn loose from the level part by the outer piles
leaning over to the river, for distance of half a
square or more; leaving an opening over which
planks have to be laid for the business of the few
steamers that are able to crowd in there.
Most decidedly the Second District steamboatlan
ing is in bad way suffocated with mud in one
part and sinking for want Of it in the other part It
WILDE utterly impossible to extend and rebuild the
wharf in time for the business season and as that
part Of the wharFes will hare to be used when the
steamers commence piing in, real good old.fash-
oned, country landing time may be looked for.
FIRE.-A large and elegant frame residence, newly
built and unoccupied on Fourth street, between
Camp and Chestnut caught fire last night, at about
nine o'clock, and was entirely destroyed. brisk
breeze favored the flames, but the promptness and
energy of the tremen prevented them from spreading
further Not having time to visit the spot, we were
unable to learn who the house belonged to. As it
was unoccupied the fire must of course be laid to in.
cenlarism for we now believe firmly, with Captains
Jack Adams and John Yoaennes, that houses never
set themselves on fire.
RAoKET-The usual thousands went down last
evening to see the darkeys play racket. The Bayous
made ball. and great was the hurrah but after
wards the Lavilles made ball and then their side
was raised one of the most demoniac hurrahs we ever
heard. The excitement was great. and everybody ap.
peared to be exhiIarated.
DEATH OF THE MAN THAT BRIDGET FURY Cur
Peter Croan previously reported as Crowe) who
was stabbed IN Poydras Market week or so since
by the notorious fraihy, Bridget Fury, died at
Charity Hospital on Saturday. The Coroner began
his inquest on the body. and found that death was
occasoned by pertonitis resulting from the wound
inflicted by the female whose alias Cher real name
we have heard, but forget it has been so apty made
Fury"
The investigation into the circumstances was not
concluded on Saturday, yesterday, owing to the
difficulty OF obtaining witnesses. One witness has
been secured, and the inquest will probably be re-
sumed to-day Bridget Fury has stabbed number
OF men since her residence in New Orleans, but
Croan is the first one she has killed. We have been
told that when Bridget first came here, she was just
out of the Ohio penitentiary, where she had been
serving term for manslaughter.
We have seen her several times before the Re-
corder, and always wondered at the wildness and
good humor expressed by her face and the polite
ness of her demeanor in Court. Though so smooth
aud smiling outside, it appears that she is in reality
another Lucretia Borgia that is, q fend incarnate
when insulted.
DRowSED.-Fimothy Daley, an Irishman "a years
of age fell into the river at the foot of First street
the Isl instant whilst washing his feet, and was
drowned. The body turned up on Saturday. The
