BOATS LEAVING TODAY.
Grey Eagle, Henderson and Louisville.
Charley Bowen, Cairo.
THE Weather, yesterday, was
pleasantly warm. The River is receding
rapidly, and business is dull.
...... The favorite, Charley BooVen, the
regular packet for Cairo-the only Evans
vile and Cairo packet-leaves to-day at
IL o'clock. " a word to the wise" &c
secure your passage-pile on your freight.
1.-THE Louisville and Henderson pack
ct, Grey EIgIe, will be down and return to
Louisville at o'clock this evening. She
is the only regular packet going up the
river to-day. Her passenger accommoda-
tions are unsurpassed by any boat on the
Western Waters.
-It is reported that Mr. Duncan has
sold one-fourth of the Henderson packet
Grey Eagle, to Gosen Taylor, of Troy,
c,I a. Ill
1.-The Masonic gem, d. b. Campbell
and Lac Eaoes left for Green river yester-
day, with fair trips.
1.-The Pittsburg tub, Xarengo, came
down yesterday loaded to the guards and
towing big barge, also we'll laden. She
had proceeded but n short distance after
leaving the wharf when she went through
some queer maneuvers, which seemed to in
dictate something wrong on board of her
She first stopped her engines, 6rifted in to-
ward the mouth of Pigeon Creek, then
headed up stream, and afterward reversed
her engines and propelled backward down
the river, then righted again and steamed
away.
... The huge city Of Memphis, which
passed down last Sunday night, had two
thousand tons of freight on board She
her guards were under water. Last winter
the Maria Denning, it is said, carried fifteen
hundred tons at one time, and the immense
Magnolia passed this point with eighteen
hundred TONS said to have been the biggest
freight ever before carried by one boat.
At the rate of twenty-five cents per hundred
low figure, the Memphis ought to clear six
or seven thousand dollars on the round trip,
even if she comes back without a pound Of
= freight. Let the small-fry steamboats, grow
igger!-Memphis Aralanche.
1.-THE following is from the Cairo cor
respondence of the Louisville Courier
The Diana reports only seven feet on
bars to Louisville, and Ohio falling fast
She rubbed at the following bars, drawing
seven feet five inches: Scuffietown, French
island, Sisters, Caseyville, Cottonwood, and
Cumberland, with seven feet Oh each and
falling rapidly. She also reports plenty of
freight in the Ohio.
The Mississippi is still rising to St. Louis.
The Ohio is rising here, owing to backwater
f,om the Mississippi.
The steamer p b. CHERRY. Cairo and Co.
lumbus Railroad packet, broke one of her
shafts this morning. The Post Boz takes
her place again until she is in running
order.
1.-THE Republic, from Louisville, passed
down on Sunday evening, towing the dis
mautled hull of the once magnificent Eclipse
the wonder of the Western waters, the like
of which we may never look upon again
She is being taken to Memphis to be turned
into wharf-boat To what base uses must
we come at lastI" After conducting this
remnant of former grandeur to the end Of
her last voyage, the Republic will return
and lay up for the present at Cairo.
.-.--.The wreckers have gone to work on
the sunken coal boat which went down some
weeks ago on the other side Of the river
and will soon have her cleared out of the
way.
1.-The steamer aurora passed up about
10 o'clock last night, with heavy trip, and
towing a well-loaded barge She had or
board the machinery of the dismantled
Crescent, which is now lying at Napoleon
and will be converted into a wharf-boat
The machinery is to lie put off ut New
Albany.

ceived dispatch from Cincinnati, stating
that MIR. II. c. Estes, a passenger on the
Telegraph No 3, had his state-room entered
