4ue Eaves, Ashbysburg and Pond river.

The Weather, Wednesday, was hot-hot-
ter than most if not the hottest day of the
season. Water street was crowded with
people almost all day, and we should think
that the floods of perspiration drawn from
the swelling throngs, if collected in a re-
servoir, would have been sufficient to float
steamer. Boats arriving and departing
were crowded with passengers to and from
the celebration, but there was not much do
ing in the way of freight. The ArizOnia
discharged considerable, but she seemed to
be doing all the business Yesterday was
cool and cloudy in the morning, but
very warm doing the day, the thermometer
standing at $40. In the evening, however,
it was cool and cloudy, with prospect of
stormy weather.
--''.' The River seems to be attempting a
rise up above. At Pittsburg, contrary to
general expectation, the river commenced to
swell on Sunday night, and there were four
feet water in the channel and still rising
The rise has emanated principally from the
Allegheny. 1t is said that there have been
some very heavy rains up that stream, and
that the runs and creeks are bank full. At
Cincinnati yesterday morning there had
been a rise of Is inches since Tuesday. At
Louisville there are but 3 feet in the canal.
The Portland bar continues to prove great
impediment to navigation. Two barges are
aground on the bar which prevents it from
cutting out. Flint Island is getting to be
more troublesome than ever to boatmen, the
q. j. adams, Glendale, and another boat,
continuing hard aground on the bar The
Glendale was nearly dry, and was virtually
laid up, or abandoned. The freight of the
Is. j. adams had all been taken out, but she
was unable TO work over the bar. Here the
sand bars rising and the stream grow
ing gradually thinner The river is falling
all the way down from this to the Mississip-
pi, which has also commenced to fall.
'''... The Dunbar was here on her last
trip, Wednesday, crowded with passengers
She goes below to ply between Paducah and
Memphis The Sam Kirhman takes her

, '''''' The Lue Eapes was detained here
. until yesterday, when she left with fair
= trip of passengers. Five o'clock this even
: ivg is her regular time for departing, but
unless she makes an unusually quick trip,
she cannot be here.
