2 The weather yesterday was warm and
pleasant, aud business OH the levee was
quite brisk in the morning, but after our
packet left il became rather dull. The riv-
er is about at a stand, and the bars in front
OF the city have been so long visible that
they have become disgusting to look at.
The Chdricy Boren left yesterday, with
large trip. Herself and barge were load
ed heavily and her cabin was literally
througed with passengers. Her gentleman
~ officers merit all they receive.
To our friend Zach Taylor, clerk of the
Star, we are placed under renewed obliga-
tons fer river favors, He is a gentleman
OF high order, and business placed in his
hands will never be left undone, as he is
prompt energetic, and honorable.
Capt. McDonald's new boat is in an adj
vanced condition and will be ready to get
under way in a short time. She is a neat
little craft, and is creating considerable anx-
iety to see her under way.
The AHda will leave at l0o'clock precise
ly for Cannelton and towns along shore.
She has become popular under the command
of Capt. Desher, than whom no more obli-
ging and gentlemaniy Captain ever stood
on the deck of boat.
The Maid Of The Aist is the regular Hen
derson packet AT noon to-day. She will
receive all the freight for that place, and
deliver it in rs good order as it is possible
for il to be done. ... .,.- .,..' -. "a
The new trading-boat, lately built at En-
terprise, for our young townsmen, Messrs.
Oakley, Sherwood, & Walker, arrived
here last week, and is receiving her ma
chinery preparatory to her trip down the
river. She is intended to traverse the trib-
utarieS of the Lower Mississippi. We wish
the boys success in their enterprise
The SiLUer Star is the regular mail pack
We understand that there was considera-
ble of a mutiny on the Gen. ID. NJ White,
during her late voyage from Green river.
How il originated we could not ascertain,
hut there was woman in the scrape The
engineer, We believe, was at the head of the
affair, and after its close, he established
himself "cock of the walk having taken
the boat by storm. -Fitfg

The hull of the AiVm Adams is still high
and dry above Caseyyille. .E -.

The Wm. GGrVin sunk at CAROLS Is
land below st. Louis on Thursday evening
last. She was bound from st. Louis TO
Chester, and struck hidden log or snag at
the head of the Island which knocked hole
in her hull. She was run on bar where
she settled down in 8 feet water at her
stern, and about 81 feet at the bow, perfect
ly straight. There happened to be no
freight in the hold; and portion of that
on deck viii be damaged. ---. ---s ..
We learn from the Memphis appeal that
the Adriatic, recently sunk near that port,
was fortunate enough to be raised again,
and continued her trip to New Orleans.
Theodore Judge, formerly the popular
clerk of the Fanny Bultit, has retired from
the river and taken lucrative position on
shore. He has attached himself to the firm
of Hawley, Billings Il Co., as the Junior
partner of the firm in the foundry and ma
chine business at Louisville.
From Louisville 10 Cincinnati there is
but 3 feet water. At Pittsburg yesterday
there was only L. inches at the Gasshouse,
which is the lowest stage this season; most
too low for even a wheel-barrow fleet,
while along the Lower Ohio the bars are
very troublesome.
We see it stated that VIM. McCarrell,
who formerly presided over the river de-
partment of the Louisville Democrat, has
opened music house. We wish him abuu-
dant success in his new business.
Messrs. Priest & Morton, proprietors of
the new wharf boat at Memphis, have taken
possession of the concern.
Captain Kirk has named his new boat
building at New Albany, " Lizzie Simmons

She will probably bid adieu TO New Albany,
on her way South in short time.
Business at Memphis is good at present,
and the papers say there is a good deal of
freight changing hands there.
The Prioress, building 1T Cincinnati will
not he ready for running as soon as was All
ticipated. The builders have been COM
PEELED TO take out her wheel arms and sub
stitute larger ones, as she does not draw as
much water as was expected.
We see that the HighRyeT is offered for
sale 10y Mr.. Sherley. She will be sold at
auction, at Cairo, on Wednesday the 9th of
We learn that the Golden Gate has been
sold Mt Galena, by the Minnesota Packet
Company, to a Mr.. John Wood. We did
not ascertain what she brought.
The admiral did not leave Louisville as
We stated yesterday morning, but was de-
tanned until Tuesday. She will be here
this evening on her way to Memphis and
Arkansas river.
The steamer EpdnSciELe is still running as
a regular tri-weekly packet between Louis
