...... The ever punctual Dunbar is in
port, and will be receiving freight until II
o'clock, when she leaves for Paducah. The
Dunbar is one of the heetest, handsomest,
and most commodious boats ahoat, and her
passengers will find everything arranged
with special reference to their comfort. She
is in charge of Capt. Gus Fowler, very
gentlemanly and efficient officer, with the
popular clerk Gus Dusouchet, assisted by
Messrs. Glenn and Davis, in the Office. Capt.
John B. Hall, at No. Water street, is agent
for the Dunbar.

usual good trip of freight. Capt. Dexter
reports but 4 feet in the channel at Cum

the rocks at the Chain, about 200 yards out
of the channel The bar at Caseyville is
very much changed about, Caseyville being
in the "pocket" of the shoal and the new
pass over by the coal mines about half
mile above. The ". d. LeQy was aground
at that place when the BOaOen came up.
The sunken Kate Sarchetwas auction
ed off, yesterday, for the underwriters, by
Messrs. Nelson & Co. The bidding was
rather spirited, considering the condition
of the boat. She was knocked down to
Mr.. VIM. McClurg, one of her former own
ers, for $500. The wreck is very badly
split open, but it is thought not impossible
to raise her.

John B. Hall that the Grey Eagle, Capt.
Daniels, on her last trip up, broke her star
board water wheel shaft when near OStran-
