The weather yesterday was cloudy and
damp. The river at this point has under
gone considerable change since Saturday
night IL has risen in all eight feet three
inches, and is now stationary. Boats are
very numerous and business on the levee
was rather lively. The rise will probably
not be Of very long duration, as il has COM
menced falling at all points above The
Tennessee and Cumberland are rising, and
reports from st. Louis say all the upper
rivers are doing likewise.
0ur friend 10. ORilsy, has again placed
Us under obligations for valuable river in
formation. Such acts of kindness will sooner
or later meet with their reward. Persons
having any questions to ask concerning the
river and boats, will receive gentlemanly
treatment and prompt and reliable answers
by applying to him.
Mr.. Geo. BoicOurt will please accept our
thanks for files of late Memphis and st.
Louis papers.
The river has compelled P. G. ORiley 4
Co., to abandon their wharf boat. She is
now entirely aeluged, and her freights and
stores have been removed, and the boat
abandoned. She is entirely worthless,
and as she lays at our wharf, is compare

water, and a sufficient rise will carry away
her roof
The fayorite packet Charley BoDsn, ar
rived here yesterday morning. She is not
so badly crippled as ssms people would like
60 have had her. She came of the log
without breaking plank, although several
timbers were broken. She leaves To day al
her regular time, and is one Of the safest boats
on the river. She viii take passengers and
freight, delivering them at Cairo and imme-
diste places, without delay. Owing 10 his in
cressing business, Capt Dexter has found il
necessary to put her ON the ways for the pur-
pose Of widening her guards and otherwise
repairing her, so that when hesscomes of, her
admirers viii hardly know her. She will
remain on the ways, at Mound City, a week
or ten days.

Dell, Capt. Rees, will be down from Louis
vile this evening, and take passengers
through to Cairo in quick time. Mr.. Rich

tlenan, presides in the Office. The balance

folks ever get to be. Passengers can be
certain Of safe and agreeable trip on this
fine boat

The .. p. Hi6berd and John Tcmphins

the mail belonging to the JohS Gault, the
latter boat not being up to time"
The Cattle Garden leaves Cincinnati this
afternoon, and will arrive here 80 as to leave

manded by gentlemsnly officers, and merits
liberal patronage. This boat Will, as soon
us practicable, leave here on her regular
days, and become fixed fact.
