1.-THE Weather, yesterday was cloudy
and cool in the morning; and after it clear
ed up and the sun shone it did not become
oppressively warm, for there WIS a brisk
breeze stirring, which was very refreshing.
About the middle of the afternoon it again
clouded up and we had fine shower, after
which the clouds broke away, in fragments,
md the cool evening was fecked with
streaks of light and shadow.
......The riysr, at this point is still slowly
receding, but from the rise above US we
have reason to expect that it will come
to a stand or perhaps swell a little
Pittsburgh they have had a considerable
rise 9 feet are reported at that point, and
feet at Wheeling. The swell is from the
Monongahela. Az Louisville there were
'eet 2 inches in the canal and rising. All
he boats which have been aground between
hat place and this have managed to get
off, except the Glendale which is still laid
Up in the middle of the river at Flint Is
and Hence to Cairo the river is in good
ondition for the light draughts, and they
re making the most of it.
.... Business on the levee was rather
lore brisk than usual, the Charley Boaren
ischarging a large quantity of freight, and
he Dunbar, Sam Kirkndn, and Charley
3oacen, taking on good loads. Tobacco was
tipped at Sc per hhd.; whisky 81 per bril-
our SOC per bril-; corn 30c per sack; hay
10 per tun.
1.-THE Charley Bowen came in yester-
~ heavily laden, having on board part of
le cargo of the Diana, besides other
reight She returns to-day to Cairo, and
e~!ui=A rsaaeneers if good fare, polite and
bliging officers and attentive walters are
my inducement, to take passage on her
come interested person has been circulat-
ag a report that the Boecen was going to
ie laid up. All such rumors are ground
ess. There will be few boats running
when the Charley stops. 1t is the intention
Bf Capt. Dexter to keep her going "as long
IS there is any moisture in the sand"
1900 The splendid passenger steamer
Grey Eagle will be down from Louisville
.o-day, and after just going down to bid our
Henderson neighbors good evening, will re-
turn up the river to night. The passenger
accommodations of the Grey Eagle are IN
surpassed by any boat on the Western wa
tiers. Our good natured friend, Capt. John
B. Hall, at l. A Cranes is her agent.
1860 We neglected yesterday to notice
she arrival and departure of the Louisville
and Evansville packet Trio, on her first trip
IN that trade, the evening before. We had
been expecting her for some time, and not
paving made her appearance, we had about
concluded that "she wouldn t and she
Gouldn t and she didn It come at ALL" and
lad almost quit locking for her. We are
sorry 10 miss from our wharf the ever pune
quail Bracelet, with her obliging and genial
officers, Capt Caffrey and Will Duval, but
while we wish her success in whatever po-
.sition she may assume, we welcome the Trio
to her place, and hope she may fill it worth
dly.
5000 The arrangement by which the
Dunbar was to go into the Paducah and
Memphis trade, and the Sam Kirkman take
1er present position, was not finally entered
Ento. The Dunbar was here yesterday, and
eaeparted for Paducah at her usual hour, with
fine trip. She will continue in her pres.
eut service as long as there is water enough
20 float her.
....a- The Sam KrknldR arrived at this
oport yesterday. She will not take the place
lDf the Dunbar, as reported, but will enter
.oas a regular packet the trade between here
5and Cairo We will give her running time
7as soon as officially. apprised of it.
1.-The IT, y G.Ilum brought dowI
$ ,another load of cross-ties for the Henderson
oand Nashville Railroad, yesterday.
-. Capt. P. G.. ORiley, finding the wa

Egrowing too shallow for convenience, ha
had her dropped down to a point almost op
apostle the City Hotel, where the water il
deeper, and shippers and steamboatmen viii
find him always in readiness to transact an!
business with which they may favor him.
