The weather yesterday was pleasant. The
river continues TO fall. Business was not
very brisk.
The BO,ren left after the arrival of the
cars with first-rate trip.
The Aida also went, at ten clock. Her
trip of freight was very light.
The SlCer Star arrived here yesterday af-
ternoor with n good trip. Her officers will
accept our thanks for late Paducah papers.
The Star was unfortunate in running on a
sand-bar on her down trip, which detained
her several hours. She left yesterday eve

trip and be at her post here Monday uoon.

care of as Capt. Davis and Billy List know
how TO do it. .a
The Cincinnati Commercial says steam
er called the Era No. 4, was built at Shouse-
town in Just % ,corking days. This, we
think, beats any boat that was ever built on
| the Western waters. Her length is l25
feet, beam est feet, and hold three feet. She
will be commanded by Capt. John Kouns,
and is intended for the upper Red River
/ trade. -.- H-r- .s..E ~ -
! The Gazette SAYS there are now in course
/ of erection eight steamers, at a cost OF
! $500, 600. all OF which will be completed
by the first of November, including the new
Maysvile and Madison packets, the Cncin-
/ matt and Ne,r Orleans Emerald, and five
for the Southern waters.
The ALidd will be down this evening from
! Cannelton.
The steamer ". l.. Ering sunk in the
upper Mississippi Rapids on Sunday last
/ The boat was valued at $1,000 and insur-
ed for $4,000.
ing she left on Thursday with a light trip
We understand her cargo was unusually
large for SO small boat.
Capt. McDonalds new boat is rapidly APP
preaching completion. Her chimneyS have
been erected, and she looks as if she wa
almost ready to make trip.
The River Iteniizer of the Cincinnati Ga
zstte comes to the defence of Capt. Gracey
OF the Poland, and says he is respected il
Cincinnati. We care nothing about wha
his associates and companions may think o
him there What we have said of him i
true, and is corrohorated by hundreds G
citizens, here, where there is but one opin
ion of the character and conduct of til
man. We exposed his conduct at the re
4. quest Of men of the highest responsibility
and at a time when we knew nothing of th
man or his boat, except by the testimony c
the most unimpeachable witnesses. W
wrote TO place the community on their guar
against a man who had excited the india
nent excavations of every one who witneS;
ed his acts. If the people on the wharf {
Cincinnati esteem and admire such charaC
} tiers, they are welcome to their society, an
we desire them TO keep them ut home; W
have no room for such on this part Of Ii
river.
