$500. Yesterday was about rs beautiful q
day as we would desire to see. The sun
shone warm, the air was mild, and the dis
agreeable wind that had rendered travelling
so uncomfortable for several days past, had
entirely ceased
THE Dunbar departed yesterday with
fair tip.
1.-THE Lue Ea0es arrived early in the
morning with fair trip. Mr.. Wheeler will
accept our thanks for q manifest. The
EaDes departed at her usual time last even
ing.
1.-The lightning packet Charley Bo,yen
will depart to-day at her usual hour for
Cairo and intermediate ports. Passengers
will find the Charley Bol0en to possess all
the comforts of boats of much larger size,
and in speed she can compete successfully
with the swiftest. Capt Markal in the
office is one of the best fellows ahoat, and
everything in his power, will be done to
make passengers enjoy themselves. Freight
islooked after with care, and orders entrust-
ed to the BoaCen are all filled with the ut
most scurpulousness.
.....Mr. w. Little returned home from
Louisville last night. He informs US that
the Autocrat was delayed from starting ut
her advertised time by break in her ma
chinery. Mr.. L. informed us that she would
start last evening from Louisville
.. The Autocrat will be due to-day
from Louisville.
... The Magnolia left yesterday rather
light. She received the following freight
from 7. A. Crane & Co.: 1115 sacks corn,
&c do oats, l947 bbls flour, las bales hay,
40 bbls pork and lard, l6 bbls eggs, so bbls
whisky, and also large lot Of -four from
George Wolfin.
...... By private letter to Capt. p. G
O'Riley, we learn that the popular steamer
Kate French is again to enter the Louisville
and Evansville trade. She leaves the for
mer city to-day, and will arrive here to-
morrow. She will leave tomorrow evening
for Louisville. Capt. Caffrey, of the Kate
French, is deservedly one of the most popu-
lar commanders on the river, and his little
boat is a favorite packet with all who have
tested her accommodations.
The AutOcrat was advertised to
leave Louisville at noon on Thursday, and
the Atlantic at 6 o'clock the same evening.
Capt Jas. White, commander of the
VickSbUrg, is about contracting for a new
boat for the New Orleans and Bend cotton
trade. She is to be one of the fastest boats
afloat.
1900 We learn from the ST. Louis RepuJ-
Lcdn that on the 4th day of October, 1859,
Mr.. WIN. J. KRIBBEN on behalf the Western
Boatmen's Benevolent Association, wrote to
Capt. ALEXANDER SCOTT, requesting his
photograph to adorn the walls OF their rooms
