ness at the landing was somewhat more lively than ~
has been for the last two OF three days. There were
great many departures, mostly for Red river aud
Ouaehita It is really distressing to read accounts oil
theperfect stagnation Of business, everywhere How
ever, we should not repinewe cannot expect good
times always we must share the brisk and lively
Tie dull and norotonous, the goOdand the bad. The
troubles trials and fluctuations, resulting from dull
times, are indeed numerous but it cannot be
helped. The seasons are. in the control Of power
sgnRiscient and puny man cannot change their muta
s;ons-he cannot amend the mysterious laws Of ma
lure to suit hnself SO what is the use of constant
grumbliag and wishing for this season and that,
rake things quietly, and keep cool.
THest Louis Republican Of the 8th says:
The river at this point fell inches from II o'clock
Al NJ yesterday until dark last evening Upto IL A.
Nj it had been stationary. No ice has yet made its
appearance in the river at this port but from the tenn
peTatre Of the weather last evening" we fully expect
TO get occasional gimpses Of ice this morning There
were but two arrivals yesterday, viz the Warsaw,
from Keokuk, and the Saracen, from st. Joseph The
officers Of the Warsaw report the ice very heavy at
kSokak and the river falling rapidly She ran out
Of the ice at Cape Girls The Saracen arrived from
ST. Joseph with 1856 cabin and lis deck passengers.
She reports the Castle Garden at Fishing river, hay
mg lost her wheel overheard The Saracen took part
Of her crew aboard, and brought them down. The
Castle Garden will be likely to stay up the river for
the winter The officers Of the Saracen report the
Missouri river rising, with three and half feet of
water from ST. Joseph to LeaYenworth four feet from
there to Brunswick, and five feet from Brunswick
down.
The weather was very fine yesterday but it turned
very cold towards evening. Business was tolerably
brisk with New Orleans boats. None of the others
were doing much. Navigation in the upper rivers
cannot continue much longer in the present state of
Che weather.
