This Machine Is pronounced 10y ccmpetentiudges
to be superior TO all others before the public for

while for ordinary usage it, SURPRISES in practical
utility the highest priced machines, tile cost of it

The weather, Saturday, was cool aud
pleasant In the evening, it began TO rain
a little. Business, as usual, at this season,
was very dull No regular packets left,
and but one-the 1Iida-arrived.
The Hazel Dell received a small lot of to-
hacco on board She went up early this
morning.
The river is falling all the way down
from Pittsbarg, so we presume large boats
will hardly venture out yet. a
The GTt we notice, has brought a couple
more boat loads of stone for our Streets
Her proprietor is pushing matters with
praseworthy energy.
The Memphis and St. Louis packet Piiia-
delphid, has been sold to Capt. Willard, for
SI2,OO0. Capt. w. is now in Louisville,
negotiating for 100000 bushels of coal, for
steamboat use.
The reliable and swift Sheer. .Stqr, will be
found at the landing this morning, ready for
a downward trip, at her usual hour. Capt.
Fowler, aided by his gentlemanly clerks,
keeps everything in trim; as the steward,
will have the harder well supplied, and all
that any one can wish to render him COM
Portable, will be found on board.
The little packet Aiidd .spreads her
sail to the wind at l 0 O. clock this morning.
We presume she will have several members
of the bar on their way to Court which
opens in ROckport to-day. On her return
trip she viii, doubtless. be crowded, as the
citizens of Hawsville and Cannelton pro-
pose taking an excursion and having good
time generally. Capt. Deshler has made ar
angements fully commensurate to the oc-
aston. and intends convincing the people
that his little packet is full able to accom-
mOdate Them whether il be to take an ex
cnrsion or only a barrel of eggs or bushe
Of potatoes.
Sheriff Hall took FIVE convictsto Jefferson
Vile, Saturday morning on board the Ha
eel Del. We conclude, from the numerous
convictions in our Courts this season, tina
the race Of petty thieves in our city mus
be nearly extinct. Most of the prisoner
sent up this time had been in the city onl!
a short period. Two of them about forty
eight hours; and third only a few days.
The fine little packet Aida leaves thi
morning for Newburgh, Enterprise, Owens
horo, Rockport, Grand View, Lewisport
Troy, CanneltOn, and Hawesville. Shipper
for all these places should give her the pref
erence. Travellers will find her neat an,
comfortable boat, and her officers, CAPTAIN
Deshler and Mr.. Worthington, courteou
and attentive TO 'heir passengers; ladies
without attendants feel themselye
a. home under their protection and care.
