'.'''' The River is now rising slowly at
this point. The swell as yet is very
slight-almost imperceptibe-and unless
there be a change in the weather we cannot
expect the rise to amount to much. The
weather yesterday was warm and pleasant,
and business at the wharf presented more
lively appearance than it has for some days.
1.-The Charley Boacen which has been
laying at the wharf since Friday, for the
purpose of reftting, has had her machinery
put in perfect trim, and will leave to-day
for Cairo, with one of the best trips of the
season.
.-'..' The Louisville and Henderson pack
ct, Grey Eagle, will be down to-day and re-
turn. She leaves the wharf at G o'clock in
the evening. She is in charge of Capt.
Daniels, with Sam. Halliday, a prompt
and courteous clerk, in the office, to attend
to passengers.
1.-The steamer Pacific came in from
the South yesterday evening, working but
one wheel. When opposite Island 30, she
had broken the shaft of her starboard
wheel, which fell downward, tearing out
the inside of the wheel-house, and nearly
demolishing the engine. The wheel did
not fall entirely through, but hung down in
such way as to render it necessary to cut
away part of it to prevent its impeding
the progress of the boat. She was making
very good time, considering her disabled
condition.
The Pacific had proceeded about half a
mile after leaving the wharf, when the
ringing of her bell and the sudden lowering
of her yawl, attracted the attention of spec
tators on the wharf, who soon perceived
that man had fallen overheard. 1t was
some time before the yawl was got ready,
during which the man rapidly foated down
the river, though manfully exerting his
powers of swimming, to stem the current.
A slliff started out from the shore toward
him and reached him a short time before
the yawl, but although he had been for
twenty minutes bufTeting the current of the
Ohio, he refused to get into it, but waited
until the yawl came up, when getting in
he Immediately manned an oar and COM
menced rowing. Such an exhibition of
nerve and pluck is quite refreshing.
1--WE are indebted to Mr.. Jno. Travis,
the obliging clerk of the d. 3. Campbell
for the following manifest:
65 hhds tobacco, l. A. Crane; Sc hhds
tobacco, J. s. Mitchell & CO.; hhds tobacco
Slaughter & Dunkerson.
The Campbell left yesterday evening"
with Il fair trip, for Bowling Green.
1.-The steamer Eanice is offered for sale
at Louisville.
1.-The New Orleans wharf boat, which
was sunk some time ago, and raised again
by the Submarine, No. s, on Wednesday
last, was lowed down TO the lower docks
Thursday morning for repairs. She Will
take her old position again on Monday or
Tuesday next.-St. Louis Bulletin, June 9Th.
--..-The Queen Of the West, Madison H.
X. Bell, and j. s. Pringle-large New Or
leans packets-have laid up at Cincinnati.
1.-The Cincinnati and ST. Louis packet
Lehigh was at TIE wharf yesterday, and
discharged a large amount of freight, hav-
ing about thirty different consignments.
800. The New Orleans Dslfa of Thurs
day the 7th, says that Capt. Roberts of the
4. S. ConIey was to start this way to con-
tract for boat.-LOu. Co..
800. On tie LIST inst, the Tails Cctl took
fire in the hold, ct New Orleans. She i'm
mediately closed her hatches raised steam,
and crossed over to the other side of the
river, where she eXtinguished the fire and
returned to the landing to finish loading.
Neither boat nor cargo sustained any ma
teral damage. This GOODNESS and prompt
ness Of action on the part of the officers of
the Fails City is as commendabie as it is
rarely to be met with.
1890 We learn from the Louisville papers
that Capt. Dick Fowler has gone to Lex
ington, Ky. We have been expecting him
here with steamer to take the place of the
defunct Sll0er Star in the Paducah trade
