.....-The Weather yesterday was disagree
ably warm. The sun was as searching as
in August, and the atmosphere as Cypress
i've as in the middle of the summer. There
certainly must be storm brewing, and we
may expect it to burst upon us with but
little warning. We are fearful that the
present warm spell will cause the fruit trees
to bud prematurely, and that sudden
rost will cut off entirely what fruit the
severe winter just past left to US. Those who
are full of expedients TO protect fruit from
the cold, will, we fear, have an opportunity
of putting some of them in practice.
.... The River continues to decline
Our Geographic dispatches show that it is
falling at all points above. There is now
splendid boating stage of water, any
amount of freight, and steamboats, for some
weeks to come, are likely to have pros
porous time.
..... Freights-as we have been repeat
ing for several days-are accumuating.
The landing is covered, the wharf boat is
full, and yet the prospect for getting some
of it shipped seems rather dull. There are
as yet no change in prices, but it is likely
there soon will be, as the demand for boats
is greater than the supply. The quotations
are unchanged.
...... The Dunbar arrived yesterday morn
ming with good trip, and departed at her
usual hour. The Dunbar is as regular as
clock work The Union came down from
Louisville in the afternoon with fair trip.
She left from Green river the same evening.
1.-THE Lancaster No. 3 passed down, Just
touching atthe wharf-boat. 1t was rumored
that she would be tied up if she did not
settle for the damage she did by running
into the FreeStOne on a previous trip, but it
is likely the rumor was incorrect. ..... The
Masonic Gem arrived about o'clock with
the hugest trip on record. We are indebted
to her gentlemanly clerk and prince of good
fellows, Mr.. Mcdonald, for her manifest,
published in another place.
1.-THE Masonic Gem leaves to-day at
o'clock for Mt. Carmel. Capt. PILLsBURY
and Clerk MCDONALD are ready to receive
any quantity of freight they may be favored
with, and hope to have the company of a
number of passengers.
1.-The BoVIing Green arrived last night
with good trip. We are indebted to her
gentlemanly officers for a manifest, which
we publish in another place.
1.-THE Fanny Bullin came down last
evening. She landed above town and took
on board large lot of corn. She took on
considerable freight here.
1.-THE MeEnotte took on a large lot of
bacon for Parkersburg.
1.-THE Baltic passed up light late in
the afternoon.
......Capt Ford's new packet, the b. j..
adams, will be ready to start South by the
10th of April. She is built for the Louis
vile and New Orleans trade.
ACCIDENT ON THE ALMA-The atlanta,
which got on the rocks opposite Fifth street
Sunday morning, had taken 100 hhds sugar
off the boat and removed them on to g light
er which she had along side, and had rope
stretched to the shore endeavoring to pull
off. The Alma, which arrived from below,
n coming out of the canal, run against the
rope, tearing away her jackstaff and knock
ing deck hand, who was standing on the
bow of the boat back against the fire, kill
ing him instantly. Two other hands, in
endeavoring to cut the rope, were badly
hurt by the rope striking them. We could
not learn the names of any of the parties.
Lou. Courier.
1.-THE Melnohe entertained our people
some time last evening with the stirring
music of her Calliope. She had one of the
finest trips of passengers we ever saw car
ried on stern-wheel boat.
...... We have read the memoranda of the
John Raine, as published in the Louisville
Courier. 1t states that the Ratne arrived at
this place one hour and 20 minutes behind
the AutOcrat, that she made So landings,
that the AutocrGt forgot some of the land
ings, and carried freight by; that the Auto-
Graf, did not report that she was racing, as
they reported about the Raine and winds
up with the following poetical effusion;
The Raine did not start out for racing
But fast boats she is always chasing;
And passengers and shippers please remember that
The John RGine can always beat the Autocrdt.
In reply to this, we would say, in the first
place, that the John Rdiae reported here, as
she went down, that she intended beating
the AutoerGt secondly, she left New Or
leans in l hours in advance of the Auto-
erGt; thirdly, the 4Htocrat passed her the
first night out fourthly, the Autocrat made
as many business landings as the Rdtne F.;
6fthly, the AutOcr0t beat the Rdine to this
city about four hours; sixthly, the good
taste manifested in the above doggerel is
about on par with the speed of the boat !;
seventhly, and lastly, the Raine is too slow
a craft even when well supplied with pine
knots to run by the Autocrdt
