River New

River News -
The river continues on the decline, with scant %
inches on the Lower Rapids.
FLEET OF BoATs.-There were ten arrivals at
the levee yesterday and last night. The river bust
ness is becoming quite brisk. There seems to be
plenty of freight offering to 60 down the river and
boats generally are well loaded. No established
rates of freight can be quoted. Nine cents per
bushe is the highest that has been paid for wheat
from this port to st Louis.-Daily, III.
The river is getting extremely low. But few
boats venture to cross the Lower Rapids, and they
have much difficulty in doing so. Almost every
day some of them are also detained by sticking on
sand-bars
The EXPRESS LINE.-Arrangement have been
made by this Company for daily line of packets
connecting between st. Louis and st. Paul, as fol-
lows The Grey Eegle, War Eagle and Northern
Light to form daily line from St. Louis to Keo-
kuk; the Alhambra, Fanny Harris, Kate Cassel
and Flora Temple, ditto between Montrose and
Duneith, aud the Northern Belle, Golden Era,
Itasca, Milwaukee and Key City from Dunleith to
ST. Paul, making in all twelve boats. 1t is expect
ed that the arrange ment will 60 into effect next
week.
BoATs SUNk.-The York State sunk below Alton
on the LIST inst and is total loss. The Messenger,
bound for New Orleans from Memphis. took fire
and was scuttled and sunk near Bayou Sara, onthe
same day. Passengers and cargo saved.
DRowNED.-A deck hand named Patrick Doyle,
belonging on the steamboat Alhambra, was drown
ed short distance below Burlington. early on the
