The Louisville Courier, Of Thursday, re-
ports
The river continues steadily to advance in
size aud might, with over fourteen feet water
o. the fan last evening. This is a rise Of two
feet in the previous t~wenty-fouT hours, or about
an inch per hour since Sunday evening, making
the ONO once more a mighty river, navigable
for the largest ships for over 500 miles In the
channel, at the foot Of the falls, there are fully
forty feet water, which is q pretty good chan
mel depth.
At Cincinnati the river has risen about two
feet Yesterday, and at Pittsburg it was falling,
and we think the present rise vii be checked
to-day, and that the river at the head Of the
falls has obtained lis highest point.
The same paper states: Last evening, Just
after the Diana had descended the fails for
New Orleans, and rounded too at Portland to
land the falls pilot, the larboard cylinder
broke, and she wiz have 10 abandon her trip.
The engine had made but two revolutions, the
engineer having his hand on the Unbelievable
az the time, when the end Of the cylinder broke
of. There must have been a flaw in the iron
Capt. Sturgeon has determined 10 abandon
his trip, and have an entire new cylinder cast.
Tins will detain the boat ten days or two
weeks, and his freight will bereshipFed-
The Courier gives the following account Of
the reason Of the detention Of the southerner
on her late run with the Dieksy:
The Southerner, on her late trip, was 30 IN
fortunate as to break her uddeT, and had to
make her entire trip from Memphis in that
condition. Her usual time 70 Cairo, from Mem
phis, is p hours, attending to business, yet
this trip she was q hours, and made fewer
landings than usual, owing to the broken rud-
der.
when the Daniel Boone was sold here, the
other day, 1t was understood she would be put
in The New Orleans line Of boats as a summer
packet. The Louisville Courier gives a differ
ent versfon. Of the matter as follows
In the Courier, yesterday, We announced the
sale o. the Daniel Boone, at Memphis, 70
Capt. Archer, Of the Southerner. We have
since learned that be resold the boat 10 Capt.
G1slee, OF the Memphis and New Orleans
Packet Company. Capt. Goslee designs nn-
ming the Boone either 10 this port or in opposi-
ton to the Victoria, in the Vicksburg and Mem
pins trade.
The Cumberland at Nashville, on Friday,
the Gazette, was rising slowly with four
teen feet on the shoals. The American says il
was falling with eight feet large on the shoals.
The Patriot says it was on a stand with water
sufficient for an classes Of boats. The reader
can select which account he prefers.

The new stone depot Of the Illinois Central
