Yesterday was another warm day. The weather
was cloudy and changeable. Once or twice during
the day the sun came ont and took view Of things,
but soon retired behind the clouds. At the present
writing the heavens have assumed . threatening
aspect, and prognosticate more wet" tot day. Busi
ness on the Levee yesterday was fair, and at times,
on the upper landing was quite active. The river
was still rising, though very slowly, and we hope to
be able to chronicle stand tomorrow. At dark
last evening it was thirteen inches below high water
mark, having risen just one inch in twenty.four
hours. The departures last evening were numerous
most Of the boats leaving with fair trips The num-
Der of arrivals was also considerably greater than
for several succeeding days The passenger trade
now steadily on the increase, and the upper river
packets all go with plenty of company. {.
