The weather yesterday was cool and
pleasant. The river continues 10 recede
very slowly. Business on the wharf was
extremely dull.
The Aida left for Cannelton at her usual
hour yesterday, with light trip. We un-
derstand that she intends making an excur-
sion trip shortly, when all who have any
anxiety TO viSi: Cannelton, Tell City and
other towns above can do so, with on ex-
penditure of a very small amount of money.
The Kate French went up yesterday morn
ing. The h0te is pleasant boat, and man
ned by gentlemanly officers and crew. We
understand that she is to run in connection
with the Charley Borea, hereafter, so that
passengers from Cairo can make close con-
nections for Louisville. and be ticketed all
the way through. E.,5 ~ -iE 2
The Silrer Star left at neon with good
trip Of passengers and freight
The Carl, with the first boat-load of
boulderS in tow destined to 90 on Main
street, arrived on Sunday, and cartmen were
busiy engaged in unloading the barge yes
teldly. The boulders were obtained near
the mouth of Salt river, and seem to be
very good article.
The swift packet Charley Borea will leave
for Cairo to-day, on the arrival of the cars.
Whilst fleetness is one Of the attributes of
the Charley, it is not the only or main
one. Sine is Differed by gentlemen,
who spare no pains to render their guests
comfortable. Her accommodations are
superior in every department, and are
well spoken of by all who have partaken
of them In addition to her speed and the
excellence of her accommodations she is
uOb w NC O'NilOOhSu'
Her officers are all experienced and careful
boatmen, and have adopted system of
watchfulneSs aud caution in place of the
more usual plan of getting insured. Secure
your berthS, and send down your freight to
the Charter.
The j. II. Done is accumulating quite n
large trip for tomorrow. One of her huge
barges already has large lot Of tobacco
aboard, which, with the Hour and sundry
freightS to be. yet stored away, will make
her trip unusually profitable.
The Trader arrived out OF Green river
with fair trip, yesterday afternoon. \
portion of her freight was shipped on the
Done.
We understand that some of the Louis
vile and Cairo boats, through n certain
" only authorized dgcRt"-who busies HIM
self principally 10y running around town
and poking his nose into contracts that have
been consnmmateI between our packets and
shippers in town-are engaged in underbid-
ding on freight, for the purpose of creating
trouble between the packets and our citi-
zens. They endeayor, by thus "cutting un-
der, TO create the impression that our boats
are charging more than they can afford
to take freight, and hope, by thus des-
troying the confidence in our regular pack
cts, to obtain share of freight otherwise
out of their reach We think the boats
could have selected no better agent for so
contemptible n business
