....Yesterday was blustry, disagreea-
bic day. Snow fell to the depth of about
one inch, and last night it commenced
freezing. Business on the levee was dull,
owing in part to the bad state of the wealth
er cad the scarcity of boats. There is
plenty OF freight awaiting shipment. The
river was swelling slowly last night, and
WE fear considerable freight will have TO be
"moved up. the HILL" as it lays very close to
the water. The Wabash had risen two feet
up to ten o'clock yesterday, and still rising.
The Tennessee and Cumberland are both
rising slowly, likewise the Upper Ohio
With moderate offerings we quote freights
as follows:
To New Orleans-AppIes DOC o Dbl; Tobacco, SIS
100 ms; Eggs and Whisky ,S1.9o o Dbl To st Louis
Pound Freights, 20c = 100 lbs. To Cincinnati

chants of this city, have removed their Of

tend the wants of their patrons This is
an excellent idea, as the above named firms

benefit to their customers and facility to
themselves. We take pleasure in commend
ing the gentlemen composing the above
named firms as courteous, prompt, and re-
liable business men

mail line, to Capt. Caffrey and the owners
of the Kate French She has the speed and
and capacity to make her very desirable
and popular Ohio river packet, and would
be decided acquisition to the trade.
49,. The Kate SarcFet takes her depart
ure for Wabash this evening. The Kate is
an old pioneer in the trade, and those hav-
ing freight to ship should send it down in
time. Passengers for that stream will find
no detention, as Capt. McLain is an old and
experienced pilot, and superintends the
=" circular work in person. Her clerks
Messrs. Duse1ebas- ar,d Rnirnrrt are GENTLE
tlemeu with whom it is pleasure to travel.
-.. The Paducah Herald says the United
States Steamboat Inspectors have been there
inspecting the boilers of new boat built at
that place for the Tennessee, and pronounce
them the best on the river. This may be
SO, but it is hard to believe anything that is
said by the Inspectors of this District. We
are confident they are guilty of some of the
neanest partially on record. Why do they
allow the Ednonia to carry three or four
bricks on her valve?
.....'W We were yesterday shown letter
from Capt. Mum, stating that the PhiladeL-
phia would be here ready to load on the
10th inst. There is plenty of freight here,
and we are confident she will do well.
...... The Diana, " hich passed down early
