...-.. Yesterday was disagreeabie rainy
day, and business on the Ievee, in conse-
'4uence, was rather dull. The river contin
ues to rise slowly, and the prospects are
aattering for the speedy resumption of gen.
eral navigation. Freigbts still continue
plentiful, and rates are about the same. We
quote as follows:

-..... The ancient and worthless steamer,
HaVs, which made her appearance at our
wharf on Thursday, put off a poor family,
consisting of man and wife and four child
rem. The man was suffering with fever, and
his family were a perfect picture of starva-
tion. They were left upon the landing, and
because they did not have enough money 10
pay full fare, the contemplate specimen of
a man who has the institution in command,
ordered their baggage and bedding to be
taken aboard which was done, and she left
for Cannelton. The family were left per-
fectly helpless and .penniless by this outrage,
and had it not been for the charity of Mr..
Altering, and Capt. Lancaster, Of the Maid
of the Mist they would have been left to
suffer, and probably die on our wharf, from
the effectsofsuch anightas that of Thursday.
These humane gentlemen took the children
and gave them food and clothing, furnished
the father and mother with money, and
found them place to stay until something
could be done. This, if possible, is worse
than the shameless piece of cruelty practiced
by the steamer Poland, Some time ago. The
man ~ who commands this craft should be
dealt with legally, and we hope our worthy
Mayor will attend to it. This boat is here
after to run as a regular packet between
this place and Cannelton, and we hope that
the business men of this place will not sane
ton this outrage.
The splendid passenger steamer
Charley BoWen, Capt. Dexter, Clerk Mark
ell is at the wharf-foot of Main street
receiving passengers and freight for Cairo
and way points, and is the regular railroad
time packet for the South, to-day, at twelve
o'clock precisely. The Cherlcy Bowen is
extending her reputation every trip, and
passengers all over the country are ac-
quainted with her superior merits AS a
packet. She is one of the fastest steamboats,
on the river, as we'll as one of the most
complete and comnodious. Her officers
are clever gentlemen, and experienced boat
men. Recollect the Boacen, for Cairo to-
day.
.-.... The Kate Sarchst, Capt. McLain
takes her departure for the Wabash river
this evening. The present rise has virtually
opened navigation in that stream, and the
Kate will be the first boat of the season.
Her career in the Wabash has beeu profit
able one and to shippers in that direction,
she needs no recommendation. Oapt. Nc
Lain being an cid and well known pilot in
that river, is sufficient guarantee that she
will go in and come out safely and punctu-
ally. Mr.. Dusouchet, one of her original
owners, presides at the desk, and our young
friend and townsman, Geo. Boiconrt, is su-
perintendent of the freight department.
.....The reliable Scioto came down last
evening, and proceeded to Henderson. She
will be up this morning prepared to take
passengers and freight to Louisville. She
is in command of good men, and we COM
mend them to the travelling community
She leaves at 10 o'clock.
.... The Missouri river has been shut up
by ice, the steamer FyOresce reports gorge
of ice at Nebraska city, five miles in length.
The steamer Gus. Linn attempted to break
it, but did not succeed. At last reports, she
was lying in the gorge, and the ice had
gorged under her.
I'VE wonder if our friends of the
Vincennes San cannot give us some infor-
nation regarding the Wabash river at that
point? That is navigable stream, and q
knowledge of its doings would be of great
Importance at the present time. Let as
know this evening.
Some of the officers of the Gen. d.
H. White called on us yesterday, and stated
that we were mistaken about that boat 60
ing South, saying that sueh statements
made her creditors feel uneasy. The White
intends remaining in the trade between this
place and the Wabash, and will be here in
a few days.
800. The Masonic Gem is now complete,
with the exception of her furniture, which
will be aboard in day or two, when we
expect to see her get uader way. Our Wa
bash friends will find her adequate to their
wants. S.
1.-The Slcer Star pulled at the old
wharf-boat yesterday morning, but it was
no use; she is too near the bottom to be
pulled off. The only alternative is,to burn
the thing, or let her remain a nuisance I'M
til the ice takes her away.
".... The telegraph failed US yesterday,
and likewise last night therefore we are un-
able TO give anything from the Upper Ohio,
bnt suppose it is rising, as the rain seems to
have been general. 81 -.'rt
1.-The steamer Pacific, due last nigh T.
had not arrived when we went to press
She will, undoubtedly, be along this morn

risen about two feet at Mt. Carmel. There
is a feet of boats waiting for the opeuing of
navigation. <f.tig-t4
