RIVER NEWS.

The Ohio, opposite this port continues to
swell, though rather slowly, having risen,
during the twenty-four hours ending last
evening, some ten or twelve inches, making,
according TO the Water-works report, q
channel-depth at this point of nine feet. At
Pittsburg the river continued rising yester-
day, with thirteen feet six inches there at
noon. t
Yesterday was mild and spring-like day,
with fresh breeze and slightly humid at
mosphere, indicating rain. Early in the
evening there was diminutive sprinkle,
which continued for a few minutes only.
The prospect is that we shall have some rain
before tomorrow evening. T.r
Business on the Landing was fair yester-
day, with no marked activity, however, nor
as much briskness IS there should be at this
season. Freights were scarce for the upper
ports, but in tolerable supply for Memphis,
New Orleans and st. Louis. @
