The weather yesterday was beautiful the
sun shone brightly. In the morning the
river was covered with fog, and the Mont
gomerU had rather hard time 10 find the
landing. Business on the levee was very
lively, and steamboats, were plenty. The
river continues stationary. With moderate
offerings we quote the following prices of
freight:
To New Orleans-Apples, iOcs Dbl; Tobacco, S.
u hid; Flour, SOC q Dbl; pound freights, soc y
100 lbs Eggs and Whisky, CSC a Dbl. To ST. Louis
Pound Freights, 2Oc p 100 lbs. To Cincinna' i
Pound freigh6s (heayy), l5c o 100 lbs; shipstuf
and wheat, o sack, l5c.
The Louisville and Cincinnati papers are
in rather too big hurry in giving the
name of Emperor to the new boat building
at this place. Her owners have not yet
settled on a name. We would suggest that
her wheel-house be adorned with the name
of Arctic. 1t will look neat, it is short, and
Will DltdSt SNcIN OuC IL oOunNo well, anu
under that name she will surpass anything
on the Western waters. We hope the
builders will sanction our choice.
The j. II. Done arrived here yesterday
with good trip of freight and passengers.
She is up for Cairo to-day at l o'clock, and
will take freight and passengers through
without detention. The Done has no SUI
perior in point of speed and comfort. Capt.
Lew Davis commands, with our gentlemanly
and prompt friend, Billy List, in the Office.
This boat makes close connections at Cairo
with the ST. Louis and New Orleans packets,
thereby offering Southern passengers great
inducements.
The Kate French had rather a rough time
in the fog yesterday morning, making two
or three unsuccessful attempts to land. Her
pilots persevered, however, and after going
about mile below town, found out what
latitude they were in, came close in shore,
and fetched up all right.
The officers of our city were on the
levee yesterday keeping close watch on a
God-forsaken, hang-dog looking whelp NAM
ell p. G. Lefevre, a rat from the Louisville
Courier Office. We hope he may he detected
in some of his vilIainous transactions. He
is well known in Louisville, Owensboro,
Lafayette, Terre lIaute, and this place. Get
off the levec, "beauty," or You will lose that
pretty mouStache. -.
We learn from Mr.. John McClain, of the
j. H. Done, that the champion packet Char
Ley Bolren was to leave the ways yesterday,
and will probably be here to leave on Fri.
day, her regular day.
The Lac Edves will receive freight this
morning for South Carrolton and interme-
-diate landings. Capt. Mcdonald will see
that freight put in his charge, is delivered in
good order and condition, and in quick time.
Passengers for Green river can find no boat
with better accommodations, or more sump-
tuous fare.
The Louisville and Portland wharves are
said to present no very business like appear
ance, freights being very scarce. New Al
bany should give some of the Louisville
boats ga lift" as their main stay is that
place and Evansville, during this time of the
year. Probably they would give the two
places more credit, and not make their re-
turn at New Orleans exclusively to Louis
vile, which place would starve them to
death, if they had no other business to do
We see that the famous steamer Poland
has gone to Cincinnati. We hope she will
remain in that neighborhood, rs the people
down here are too honest and decent to ap-
preciate such characters rs the officers that
have been in charge.

of the New Orleans and Lafourche Com
