RF The weather yesterday was again
pleasant with indications of rain. The
river came to a stand late last night, and we
may expect to see it falling again this morn
ing, as it has commenced receding at all
points above. Freight continues plentiful,
but no shipments are made. The coming of
the New Orleans boats is looked to with
mucn interest, and will, undoubtedly, have
tendency to reduce the rates of freight,
which may be quoted, at present, as fol-
lows:
To New orIeans-Apples, 81 Oog Dbl; Tobacco, Sc
q hid Flour, 81 CO.'S Dbl; pound freights 5Oc D
100 lbs Eggs and Whisky SITE % Dbl. To st. Louis
Pound Freights, zoe q 100 lbs. To Cincinnati
pound fret gifts (heayy), l6c "a 100 lbs; shipstuf
and wheat, q sack, 16c.
DG We yesterday made geologicalsurvey
of the wharf at this place, and after thor
ough investigation, we find it contains all
the necessary ingredients to damn the
stockholders and heap eternal disgrace on
our city. Let any one who wishes to dis
pute the above but look at this specimen OF a
"joint stock concern" and he will see scat
tered over its surface every imaginable piece
of trash, such as piles of old brick, offings of
tin shops, cart-loads of trash from alleys or
dered to be cleaned out by the city, stumps
brush, piles of dirt, heaps of old pieces of
iron, ashes, dead rats, old boxes, fossil re-
mains of hat-boats, old clothes, stakes drove
in for practical use, in fact everything but
stakeholder or City Councilman. Then,
again, the wharf is cut up in such manner
as to be almost impossible for pedestrians or
vehicles without serious apprehensions, and
last, though not least, there are no ring-bolts,
except opposite the packet landing, where
these boats have refused to pay wharfage,
until something is put down to which they
can fasten their lines.
H9 The SLIDER Star will probably not
leave until o'clock this evening, owing to
the change in the mail. She will be found
all that is necessary to ensure comfort and
safety. Our friend, Gus. Dusouchet, attends
to the business of this boat, and is a good
companion to travel with. Recollect the
Star.
GS5@ We notice that the entire Louisville
and New Orleans feet of regular packets are
advertised to leave Louisville as follows:
Baltic, G apt Meekin, Saturday, the 10th;
Peytona, Lyden, Saturday, 10Th Funny
BugIitt, Durham, 18th Pacific, Lamb, 18th.
We do not believe either of these boats will
be able to make the trip" from present
appearances.
gE~Y Yesterday, the cylinders of the Au-
toerdt were being taken aboard; her shafts
are in their places, and everything betokens
an early completion.
Bas-Trhe Lue Eaues took her departure
yesterday, with a good trip. This boat
seems TO be doing good business, and We
wish her abundant success.
bs~We rotice that repairs are being
made on the old shell of wharf boat lying
at our wharf We suppose she is being
canlked, preparatory to being sent adrift
the next rise. We hope this is the case.
%~The fine steamer Hazel Dell is due
to-day from Louisville, bound for Memphis.
She is a good boat, and commanded by
worthy men, and we can recommend her to
travellers and shippers.
BzSHThe Kate .SGrch -. this morn
ing from Cairo. Sh, 80 New burgh,
and will be ready to take her departure for
Cairo to- morrow.
EG$The Charley BOtcen Left yesterday
with light trip. She had rs head of cat
tie and 100 dozen of chickens engaged be-
low.
E6FThe j. II. Done came off the ways
at Mound City yesterday, and will be here
tomorrow.
Battle Louisville Democrat says the
steamer antelope will be sold at the Court
House in that city by the U. S. Marshal on
the 2lst of this month.
RGaEeOne day last week, civil engineer
measured the depth of the river at Prentiss,
opposite Napoleon, which is 200 miles be-
low Memphis, and he reported that the river
at that point was then within feet of the
lowest water mark ever known in. the his
tory of the Mississippi, and 3s feet below
the highest water mark.
R5s-New Orleans papers of Sunday say
that freights in the Red river trade have
again advanced, and are now 81 and 81 so
to Shreveport, and 75c and 81 to Alexan-
dra.
R35@ During the week ending Saturday,
the 9Th, there were 62 steamboat arrivals at
New Orleans, which is an increase of five
over the week previous. Only four were
from the Ohio river. On the 9th there were
only three arrivals there.
