been for several days previous-was most
delightful. The atmosphere was as balmy
as in spring. Business on the landing was
tolerably brisk, the Masonic Gem and two
or three Green river packets taking on board
some groceries for their respective places of
destination. There is yet considerable
freight on the landing awaiting shipment,
and as one or two Wabash packets are due,
we may expect enough to furnish one or
Z two large boats with good cargoes. Little
or no change has taken place in freights.

I'VE understand that Capt. McGill
of the AtIGgtic got quite happy, because
other boats had not been refused freight to
have it reserved for him. He showed out in
a pet, in order to get q lot Of freight at Mt.
Vernon, but we should not be surp rised, if
he was disappointed in his expectat ions, as
we learn that the Woodtord and Republic
had engaged about all the freight TO be had
at that port. Perhaps the next time the
atlantic comes down light. her captain will
him We are informed that an effort would
be made TO have the Atlantic leave New Or
leans with the Autocrdt. We presume the
officers of the latter steamer will have no
objection.
1.-The Charley BoOsR departs for Cairo
to-day at II o'clock. Capt. Dexter will be
found at his post, and Mr.. Markall also at
his and both will use every effort to render
passengers comfortable, and deliver freight
at its destination in safesy. Our people will
remember the Bo,0en.
.. The Scioto No. will be down this
evening from Louisville, and return. The
Scioto isa fixture in the Louisville and Hen
derson trade, and has established,aR enviabl e
reputation. Capt. Duncan treads her deck
and Mr.. Duvol does the agreeable in the
Office.
THE reliable Green0ilke will leave to-
day at IL o'clock. The GreenUiUe will
promptly attend to the delivery of all goods
entrusted to her care.
.. The FreeStoRe was due last night
with a magnificent trip-having on board
some 1000 sacks of corn. The owner of
the corn probably arrived last night and
will determine, this morning, whether he
zzift have it re-shipped at this point for New
Orleans, or whether he will have the Free
stone take II 10 OluClnndIl
sees. Our young friend lack Taylor, took
charge of the office of the Lac Eaves yester-
day. lack will undoubtly increase the bu-
siness of his boat, as he is one of most clever
fellows on the river.
...... The Memphis AUalanche says the
I Arkansas, White and little Red rivers are
nearly bank full and rising.
...... The ST. Louis Republican of Mon
] day says:-During the week just past the
river at this point has varied but little, one
day it has swelled an inch or two and the
following day it fell as much us it had risen
the day previous To-day we find it at
/ about the same stage as it was week ago.
I Saturday it rose an inch or two, caused, per-
haps by slight rise in the Missouri.
1.-The steamer Cambridge, after dis
charging her cargo of damaged goods on the
landing, at the foot of Elm street, got up
steam, yesterday morning, and started for
I the docks at Caronde1et. She will be in
good order for business in a few days.
