RIVER NEWS.

The Ohio, opposite this port, continues to
recede slowly but steadily, the late heavy
rains having had no effect upon the stream,
which declined during the twenty-four
hours ending last evening, FIVE or six inches,
leaving, according to the Water-works re-
port, channel-depth of about seven and
half feet at this point. The river at Pitts
burg was rising yesterday, with four feet
six inches water there at noon.
Yesterday was warm, bright and de-
lightful day--more like May than October,
when all Nature seemed to be in love with
beauty, and to reflect its image o'er the
Earth.
Business on the Landing yesterday was
fairly active, less so than it should be,
however, at this season, and freights were
moderately offered; those for the upper ports
being quite light. Our quotations are as
