RSF There is no change to note either
IN the river or weather since our last re-
port. Freights are plenty, and boats are
very cautious about receipting through to
New Orleans, owing to the difficulty ex-
perienced in reshipping at Cairo.
Bag Mr.. 10. Partridge, of the Adams
Express, and Capt. lack Taylor will please
accept our thanks for late Cincinnati and
Louisville papers in advance of the mail.
Such favors we have the capacity to appre-
ciate. serr=es.-r -s-Ea sos F

DeH-The new dredging boat, recently
built at Madison, was tried on the bar, oppo-
site that city, Friday evening. A channel
was cut, 30 feet wide, through the lower
end of the bar, with ease. The new dredge
has two large screws in front, which are so
constructed as to throw the sand from the
channel it makes The boat and Screws are
small, being designed more as model than
for use, but they are large enough to cut the
bars at Rising Sun and Warsaw. Once
through, we suppose thecurrent Wonld keep
a channel open.
lga We take the following from the
Memphis Bulletin of the 4th:
I" The low water is becoming serious
obstruction even to Mississippi river boats,
and cotton boats are in demand in this lati-
tude. The rate of freights has materially
advanced hence to New Orleans, and we now
quote cotton at 81 so per bale. - -.
'sThe shipments of cotton, yesterday, en-
braced 1865 bales, of which the John ST.
monas took i, $50 bales, and the Choctaw
2,O62 bales for New Orleans, and the j. II.
Lucas $50 bales for st. Louis" y.
Ea~ We take the following extracts from
a river correspondence, dated Cairo, Nov, 5:
"Freight is very abundant here, and ship
ments have lately been few and far be-
tween. This is the case to a greater extent
than has been known for a long time, ow-
ing to the serious 6bstructions in the lower
river, and the advanced rates offered below
Cairo. Boatmen should be careful in re-
ceipting through for freight to leave ample
margin for the re-shipping rate Messrs.
Graham Il Co. have engaged the ". w.
ThonsaS,- now at Mound City, to drop down
and load for New Orleans, and she will be
here next Tuesday. ~ Tg - =
'The HdnnibaE arrived from StLouis last
evening with her starboard wheel in a Grip
pied condition. Above Ohio City she struck
a log, which sent her into lot of drift at
the bank, where she had q dozen wheel arms
and buckets broken, and parted a hawser,
hurting several men. She has $50 deckers,
was drawing six feet, and rubbed all the
way as she came out.
Done, from Evansville, has some 1000
bbls -four, &C."
"The J. H. Done re-shipped 200 sacks
barley and some other freight on the Ma
clay, for St. Louis. tl lHE
sE- The Louisville Courier, of Saturday,
contains the following: b .f<tt Hft.
&C. In February, S53 the steamer GLendy
Burke, on her upward trip, got aground at
Montezuma barland threw overheard por-
ton of her cargo, OF the svalue of about
$4,000. She was sued by the shipper for
non-delivery of his goods, and defended on
the ground that the goods were rightly
thrown overheard to save the boat ana the
rest of the cargo, but failed to show in her
answer that the grounding was caused by a
new formation or stress yf the weather. In
a former trial. the Circuit Judge held that
the boat was liable, because no attempt had
been made to relieve herself by spars or an
chors. On this ground the case was reversed
by the Court of Appeals, out it was held
that the answer was bad in not showing
that the grounding was caused by new
formation, or stress of weather On the
present trial an amended answer was flied
showing that the boat first grounded on 6
new formation; that she backed off, and
by the force thus given her, and the force Of
the wind and current, which were high and
strong, she was borne down on the middle
bar, striking it with her stern, and swinging
broadside on the bar /; but the amended an
swer still failed to show that the secoud
grounding was upon new formation, o.
was caused by stress of weather, and fol-
this reason the case was decided against thu
boat .ssEes 81. .aa z-tt--a- - .-i- -s
