Good Experimentation Falling

Yesterday was q dull and warm day, With cooling
shower or two sanwched in by way of relief Or the
landing the only Offset to the monotony of dullneas
which generally prevailed was the departure in the
evening Of the steamers Imperial for st. Louis John
Raine for Louisville and Capitol for Memphis all Of
which took large trips of passengers, and drew to-
gether quite respectable crowd of people. The I'm
perial was literally guardsunder" with her living
freight, and obliged to refuse passengers before
she left.
The river opposite this point is still recedng grad
ually having declined about one inch per diem since
the 18th ultmo, and is over two feet below high
water mark.
We notice by our st. Louis exchanges of the 9Th
and 9h that the annual mountain rise from the Mis-
souri, was expected to reach that city in few days
The steamer Emigrant left Fort Randall on the I'd
inst and reports the river rising very rapidly at the
fort 1t had swelled five feet when they left and they
passed the rise near Council Bluffs on their return
The probable extent of the swell could not be ascer
tanned, but it is thought that it will not exceed five or
six feet at st. Louis. The Emigrant was obliged to
wait for the rise at point sixty miles below Randall
and the officers of the boat report the swell very rapid
The fall Of the river at st. Louis had already been
checked by the upper Mississippi RISE which is very
heavy between st. Paul and Dubuque.
The Fred Iron, while working over Rising Sun
Bar in the Ohio on the 5th instant was so unfortu
nate as to sink barge she had in tow containing a
small quantity of iron. It is completely covered With
water and lies directly in the channel at the head OF
the chute, between the Telegraph and the Indiana
shore
We learn that Capt Sam Apologize, commander Of
the steamer Grand Duke, was passenger on the
John Raine for Louisville last evening.
The Board of Underwriters at st. Louis have
passed resolution that on and after the 18th Of
June all stern wheel boats running to and from St.
Louis not provided with stern bukhead satisfac.
tory to the inspectors of that Board, will be marked
uninsurable.
| AM. Root, late pilot of the Cedar Rapids, who
caused the collision between that boat and the Lucia
May, by which the latter was sunk and several lives
lost, has been arrested at Cincinnati by the u S.
Marshal, for manslaughter, and confined in Jail
| The Cincinnati Commercial of the 9th inst saws
The weather was mild and cloudy yesterday, with
terrific thunder storm and copious rain before day
light. The indications were favorable for more rain
last night. Notwithstanding the RAIN the river con.
tinues stationary from Pttsburg to the mouth with
four feet hence to Louisville three feet seven inches
in the Canal from three to four feet at Portland Bar
and five feet on Flint Island
The St. Louis Democrat of the 9th instant, says:
The river continues falling here, but not rapidly
a fact The st. Paul boats arrived at Dubuque
report it the greatest of the season. The Dubuque
Express aud Herald, of Tuesday, has the following
| in regard to it
| being now within six inches OF the point it reached
week or two since. 1t has risen some Is inches
within the last twenty four hours The river at ST.
Paul is now as high as it ever was known The
Democrat says there is not house in West st. Paul
out of the water. One of the piers of the bridge at
| St Anthony gave way on Friday, and probably ere
| this other PORTIONS have gone. Two spans Of the
lower bridge.en the Minneapolis side have also gone
At Red Wing the water has now reached the
highest point ever known and it is the opinion of
the Oldest inhabitants that it will yet reach four or
five feet higher. At Lansing on Friday, the water
| had risen three feet in four hours.
The VIM. L. Ewing took on at this port 1851 sacks
grain, having before 1899 sacks. She left at P. NJ
yesterday, her band composed of part of the crew,
discoursing music which would be creditable to one
| making greater pretenslons.
| We extract the following from the memorandum
| of the clerk of the Ewing, Mr.. M. B. Pierce:
June 4, P. M.-Left st. Paul River rising and is
all the levee. At st. Anthony the water is mp
to the floor of the upper bridge. All the booms have
broken loose and about IL 0Oe 600 feet of lumber
gone the falls, and filling the river nearly full
down to Lake Pepin. The lower bridge of ST. An
thony is gone, and at A. NJ; they were looking for
| both the others to go. Weather clear and cold.
The clerk also states that he heard accounts of
| the frost until they got to Lansing
The Illinois is falling fast from Lasae to the mouth.
The pilot of the Sam Gaty reports feet scant on
| Springfield bar, feet at Beardstown, and feet on
| Naples fats
The Missouri is falling az far up as we have heard
from lately and some difficulty is expected in its
| navigation before the rise gets to the mouth.
The Louisville Journal, of the 9th inst, reports:
The river here still continues at stand with three
| feet inches water in the canal by the mark. We
are glad to learn that Portland bar is improving. The
channel is washing out, and we are told that there
! were four feet water on it last evening.
| The Memphis Bulletin, of the 10th instant, says:
The river opposite this point continues to recede at
| about the same rate as heretofore-l2 inches in "a
| hours
We learn from the officers Of the Jennie Whippls
that the Arkansas is in good boating ORDER and ris.
ing slowly. The st. Francis, reported by the Off
GERS of the W. q. Langley, is falling quite rapidly.
The officers Of the Moses Mcclellan report the Ohio
falling slowly from Louisville down. at the rate of ynt
inch in "a hours. The Mcclellan found four feet scan
on Portland bar; 81 at Caseyville; AZ at Cumberland
dam; at Henderson bar, and 5 feet at Flint Island
where the r. j. Ward was hard aground.
The steamer Morning Light made her appearance
at the levee yesterday and will leave for Red Rive
on Thursday. Capt. Ed. Parker having chartered he
will continue to run her during the summer. MI
SAM Lawson will be found on board ready to accom-
modate all visitors.
