River News, Steamboats,. &c

There has been no rise in the River since
our last report. and there is no chance for
any arrivals Of Boats. until rise occurs.
The steamer Teauessee Belle, was adve. :
tised to leave St Louis on last Saturday
for Van Buren AMI Fort Smith there is no
probability of her getting up until a rise in
the river This boat is the pioneer in a
line, which is proposed to be run from St.
Louis to all points ON the Arkansas River
We have also received information from
a reliable source, that several commercial
houses. representing the various depart
ments of trade in st. Louis, are preparing
to establish line of boats, to take their
place the coming season, in the same trade
1and form regular line of freight and pas
senger pa -kets. Their object is apparent
they having an eye to the great trade of this
portion of the growing west, and desire
to cultivate material and paying interest
IN a commercial connection. St Louis has
seriously neglected. her own interest in this
section-for whilst Cincinnati, Louisville,
Memphis AMI New Orleans, have each sea-
son, been well represented by a good class
OF boats, ST. Louis seems to have overlook
ell the matter of communication by a direct
line But recent manifestations evince that
they have at last awakened to the fact, that
an imporsant trade is turned into another
channel. that might with little attention
and energy on their part, have been drawn
to their own City The sympathies of our
merchants, as general thing, are for our
sister cities of the South, and we cast q
look towards St Louis as point. that can
Int they will, successfully compete with
Cincinnati, in the extensive trade she is re-
ceiving from Arkansas The merchant is
naturally drawn to the market offering the
greatest inducements for his purchases. and
now that the initiatory steps have been tax
en- by them. we shall expect to see their
business firms represented among us, show
ing to the merchants of this country the ad-
vantages that will arise from this new con-
nectiOn and interchange
The completion of the Telegraph along
the line of road Travelled by the Overland
Mail Company, viii draw US closer to that
Cily. whilst the facilities Of travel afforded
by the commodiOus coaches of the O. L. NJ.
Co, makes it the nearest point for our
trade. Goods can be transported from St.
Louis at as low rates, as any point on the
Ohio. and we know of no good reason,
why they cannot offer such inducements in
:" trade and traffic - that will cause rela-
tions between US to spring up, develope and
grow to our mutual advantage and profit.
We shall watch with considerable inter-
est, the result of this new enterprise, and
invite the attention of the people to a con-
sIderation of its Importance. We have
glanced hastily at this matter, but in some
of our future numbers, will refer to some of
the peculiar advantages arising from this
connection.
The steamer Isaac Shelly was to leave
Cincinnati for Arkansas River on the 25th
