..-.. The Weather yesterday was clear
md warm during the day and cool and
pleasant in the evening"
The River here is still at stand,
lut will probably be falling soon. At Pitts
)urg as we learn from our dispatches there
we're feet inches in the channel and the
liver falling. At Cincinnati it was rising

nd feet thence to Louisville. At the
after place on Friday morning it had come
o a stand with feet inches in the canal.
1.-The regular Evansville and Paducah
~. S. mail packet, Dunbar, is at the wharf,
md will be receiving freight until / 2 o'clock
or Paducah, Cairo, Memphis and New Or
cans. She carries freight at as low rates
Us are consistent with reasonable Iroft.
Her officers have shown their devotion to the
interests of our shipping merchants by keep
ing her in this trade throughout all seasons,
whether profitable or otherwise, and our
shippers should therefore give her the pre-
ference over irregular and unreliable boats,
which are always ready, whenever the seas
on is favorable, to crowd themselves in and
cut down the rates, thus destroying the
profits of the regular packets.
1.-The feet and handsome new packet

gentlemen, Messrs. Austin and Gregg are

-.. The Fanny Built will be here to-
day en- route for New Orleans. Shippers

er are her clerks.
