1.-The River is still moving down like
a clock. ana business for the large boats is
rapidly approaching the condition of being
wound up. Navigation in the upper Ohio
is very difficult at present, and none but the
lightest draught boats are running. The
Pittsburgh Dispatch of yesterday says the
river at that poiRt has reached stage too
low for the transaction of any boating bust
ness. The boats at the landing have drawn
aboard their staging, and the landing has
again assumed its customary midsummer
appearance Of repose. On the bar at Glass
House there is less than two feet steamboat
water. At Louisville, yesterday, there were
only 81 feet of water in the canal. Advi-
ces from Cairo report the river falling with
only % feet thence to St. Louis.

as hot as ever until evening, when a cool
breeze made the air much more pleasant.

the wharf boats are crowded with freight.

fable gentlemen.
