The weather WIS warm yesterday. Bu-
siness on the levee was unusually dull, and
few boats arrived. The river is now lower
thar it has been this season, and is still re-
ceding slowly. We hear of boats sticking
on the bars daily, not only in the Ohio but
the Mississippi, Missouri, and Illinois. In
fact there is hardly enough water anywhere
to run any thing but very small boat.
Mr.. Dunn, the efficient clerk of the Charley
Boaoen, will please accept our thanks for
files of Memphis papers of a late date, and
also for important river favors. -''--''--'-'-.''
The Charley Bowen leaves to-day at II
O'clock for Cairo. She is a safe and reliable
craft and no one can find fault with her
fare. Her speed is unequalled by any boat
that now navigates the Ohio. Capt. Dexter
is complete gentleman, while her clerks,
Messrs. Dunn and Wheeler, are efficient and
prompt and no one can fail to appreciate
their competency as clerks of no ordinary
ability. In addition to those gentleman,
passengers will find travelling companion
in the person of Capt. Num-, who will make
them perfectly at home, and entertain them
in an appropriate style.
The Siiper Star is the regular mail and
passenger packet for Paducah to-day at one
O'clock. She is good boat and will leave
Immediately on arrival of the cOrs. Pas
sengers and shippers will find our friend,
lack Taylor in the office to attend to their
wants, in n gentlemanly and prompt man
ner. He has again laid Us under obligations
for river favors. .----.--.
The Granville and Cincinnati packet
Castle Garden, is due here this morning.
She will leave again this afternoon, and
passengers can do no better than to board
her early and secure state-rooms. Capt.
Thad. Conant will be found on deck, which
will insure safe journey. We hope our
merchants will pstronize this boat we'll as
she is worthy of all they can bestow upon
her. -s-. = EfF - Hs.-F s.r l...f.

IL o'clock for all points on Green river as
far up as it is now navigable. She leaves
upnctually.
The Kate French is the regular packet for
Louisville this morning. She will leave on
the arrival of the Charley Bowen. The

rienced. and generous officers, who will do
everything in their power to make those
