The weather yesterday WAS unprecedent-
ly warm, and business on the levee was un-
usually dull The river continues to rise
here as we'll as at all points between
here and Cincinnati. The lower Quo Is
rising, likewise the Cumberland and Ten
nessee. Freights are scarce and lou, with
prospects of dull times for some time To
come.
We notice numerous hat-boats loaded
with salt and shingles, lying at our landing,
consigned TO persons here.
We are indebted to our accommodating
friend II. D. NEWMAN, for files at late New
Orleans papers.
The new and splendid steamer Laurel
Hill, built for the coast trade, from New
Orleans to Bayou Sara, came down yester-
day evening, and took on 400 bbls OF flour,
lot of tobacco, and several small lots of
miscellaneous freights. She is truly mag
niicent boat and will no doubt meet with
excellent success in her trade.
Capt. Henry Mitchelfs new boat, the
Novelty, arrived at this port last night
about IL O'Clock, in an unfinished condi-
ton. Her dimensions are as follows -
Length / 10 feet on deck feet hold, lS2
feet beam, drawing, light, inches forward
and aft. We will probably notice her
more fully tomorrow

Southerner, has accepted the office Onthe Ii.

through to all Southern points IN quick time,
and with all safety.
The Castle Gdrdea will he here to-day
from Cincinnati. She returns tomorrow,
and those having freight TO ship in that d.
rection should recollect her. She is a regu-
lar Evansville boat, and is endeavoring to
build Hp trade, which should be sufficient
20 convince the merchants and business
men here, that il is to their interest to sus-
tain her. Her officers are prompt and ener-
getic, and viii attend to all business en-
trusted to them with promptness and accu-
rscy.
The John Tompkns is the regular Louis.
Vile and Cairo packet to-day. She is speedy
and reliable, and her accommodations for
passengers are superior. Her punctuality
is unequalled.
The ALdd left yesterday with fair trip
of freight and passengers. We hope she
may do well, as she is deserving boat.
Passengers and shippers should look oui
for the John Rdine. as she is due here to-day
A finer boat does not make her appearance
at our wharf. Her officers stand supremacy
conspicuous in point vi experience and
courteousness.

Fheneh, will be down this evening, and at
ter proceeding to Henderson, will return tC
