''''''The Weather, yesterday, was very
pleasant. The atmosphere was rather Op-
pressive, and the sun was hot for the sea-
son of the year.
Business on the levee was moderate
I ly brisk. There were no shipments to New
Orleans.
'''.'- Freights remain unaltered in price,
while the amount continues to increase.
The RiUer is rising slowly, and some freight
had to be removed up the landing. 1t was
falling at all points above, and must soon
begin to decline here
THE Dunbar is the regular Mail boat
for Paducah to-day at IL o'clock. She is a
regular clipper, and her accommodations are
excellent.
''-''' The 4utoerat, we learn, will be here
this evening. She will go through to Lou
isville, and be here again on Monday, when
she will receive as much freight as she can
conveniently carry
1.-The L1te EdUes is the regular South
Carrolton packet She will leave this even

evening with fine load of merchandise for
the Wabash country. Among her ship
ments was a fine saw mill engine from the
establishment of Kratz & Heilman.-
...... The AEtamont on her last trip down
settled up honorably with Messrs. Durham
& Snyder for the repairs done on her, on her
trip up. The mechanics exonerate the Off
GERS of the boat of any intention to keep
them out of their money. We trust those
papers which copied our former article in ref
erence to the matter-and many of them
did it unfairly-will copy this statement in
justice to the boat.

barges in tow. She had magnificent trip
