Wednesday, Dec 81 1859. )
As we anticipated, or rather expected, yesterda
morning brought with it cold northwest win,
which rendered the day cold and disagreeable, an
| to make it more unpleasant, the day was dark an
cloudy. At dark there was no improvementin tn
atmosphere, nor any Indications of tavorabl
change.
With such weather, and a muddy, dirty levee,
is not to be expected that business was eithe
active or extensive. Still, we are safe IN sayins
that business was toleraby active, considering tht
circumstances under which it was transacted.
Since our last report the arrivals have been rath
er limited. and these were most all from the ieWei
tributaries The Peytona came down from Louis
vile with fair trip and leaves again this evening
To her polite and attentive clerk Mr.. II. c. Ian
drum we are indebted for late river favors.
There were the usual number of departures all
of which had tolerably fair trips.
