-.-.. The Weather, Saturday, was warm
and pleasant. The sky was clear and the
sun shone brightly throughout the day.
Business was about as usual. No great
amount of freight is on the landing, nor do
We hear of much coming. Unless business
brightens mp somewhat some of the New
Orleans packets will be compelled to lay
up. They can't run without losing money

The Louisville Journal of Friday last

The splendid new steamer Magenta was
sold by Capt. Spots yesterday to Capt. W.
C. Wilson, for the Yicksburg and New Or
leans trade, the price paid ing $7l 900, of
which sum $685. 900 vas in cash. This is a
good transaction for all parties. She will
continue in the Louisville and New Orleans
trade until the 18th of July, when she will
take the place Of the Charmer.
The Terre Haute Express of Satur-
day informs us, that up to eignt o'clock
Friday night the river had risen twenty
feet above low water mark, at that place
During the twenty-four hours preceding,
the rise was about ten inches, by the pier
mark at the Terre Haute draw bridge
This is large considering the immense sur
face of water over which it extends.
The Express hadkeard of no serious dam
age being done, but thinks the heavy rain
of the previous day would so swell the riv-
er as to cause considerable trouble.
..... The Cincinnati Gazette of Friday
furnishes US with the following
The weather was clear, mild and genial
yesterday. The river commenced rising at
this port Wednesday night, when it became
stationary, after rising about twenty inches.
Licking river was running out freely yes
terday, which may account for the sudden
rise here.
There is no improvement to notice in
business at the river, and the shipments to
New Orleans continue moderate, with a
heavy tonnage in port.
We understand that the immense amount
of freight which was accumulated at Nash
vile for Southern ports, is nearly all cleared
of, and as soon as our Neutrality-suspicious. can
receipt freight through, over the Chat
tanooga road, we may expect lively times
in the Nashville trade.
