more rapidly than last week, having receded,
during the twenty four hours ending last
evening, some two feet, leaving channel
depth at this point, according to the Water
works report, of twenty. seven and half

there.
The weather was mild, clear, bright and
beautiful yesterday, and the Wharf, which
was lined with steamers, looked more ami
mated than we had seen it for some days
previous. A good deal of freight was on the
Landing, and the offerings at previous prices
were very fair for these times.
