THE Weather, yesterday, was damp and
very warm rainy in the morning, cloudy
with occasional CLEANS of sunshine during
the day, and sultry with prospects of rain at
night.
1.-The RiUer at this point is still swelling,
but so gradually that it requires very close
observation to note any change.
'.... Business on the levee was dull and
freights scarce. Although there were but few
boats passing, there are too many for the
amount of business, and none of them can
make paying trips. Most of the larger boats
however will soon lay up, and then we
hope the smaller ones may drive profta-
BILE trade.
1.-The Charley BolceR will be in port
this morning, ready to receive freight for
Cumberland river, Cairo, Memphis, New
Orleans, and all way points on the Ohio
She is an Evansville boat and is Differed
by Evansville men.
1.-The elegant steamer Dunbar is the
regular mail packet for Paducah and inter
mediate points to-day. We can recommend
her for unsurpassed accommodations, both
as passenger and freight boat. Her hour
of leaving is II NJ.
''''"Capt. Rothrock's packet, the Union,
came in from Bowling Green with 169 hhds
tobacco. She left for Louisville last night
To her gentlemanly and affable clerk, Mr.
E. G. jenkins, we are under obligations for
manifest and tavors.
1.-The Kata French, lying at Sandy
Island, was sold on last Monday, by order
of the Chancery Court of Jefferson county,
KY. She was bid off at So, 900, but we
have not ascertained the name of the pur-
chaser.
1.-The famous John Gault, of Louis
Vile, comes down to-day on her way to
Nashville, and will be ready to receive all
freight for that or intermediate points with
which she may be favored. The John
Gau1t is ably commanded by Captain Bunce,
one of the best boatmen on the river and
as a passenger boat is unsurpassed in her APP
pointments. We recommend her to all who
desire to take safe and expeditions trip
do wn the river.
'.'... The steamer Ohio Belle and PeytOna
came up with fair trips of passengers, but
light freight. The latter was just five days
out from New Orleans.
IA meeting of steamboat captains and
owners was held in Pittsburgh Wednesday,
for the purpose of taking into consideration
the appointment of committee to attend the
Convention of steamboat Captains to be
held at Louisville, KY, July 10th.
1.-The owners of the Bracelet now in
the Evansville line, and Lancaster No 3,
plying to St. Louis, have snapped boats,
the latter receiving some boot, but the
amount has not yet been determined. The
sale and sum is to be decided by referees
The Bracelet is to be transferred to the
Louisville and Carrolton packet line, and
the Lancaster goes into the Louisville and
Evansville trade.
The rumOr that the Portsmouth packet
Grey Eagle, has been purchased for the
Louisville and Henderson trade is unfound-
ed. 1t probably originated from the para.
graph in the Courier, the other day. that
Capt. Dick Fowler of Paducah, went to Gin
cinnati to try to buy the Grey Eagle for the
.Paducah mail line.-Lou. Cour.
$500. The rogues of New Orleans have de-
vised new method of swindling steam
boats, viz: by making out false bills of la
ding, with charges, and presenting them to
the clerks of boats. An attempt of this
kind was made upon clerk Douglas, of the
Imperial, before leaving, but fortunately the
rascal was arrested by the police before he
succeeded in getting the charges. Clerk;
would do we'll to be on the lookout for sucl
operations, as the trick is a very good one
