RIVER NEWS.

The Ohio was rising here again, yester-
day, having swelled, during the twenty-four
hours ending last evening, some twenty -four
inches, making, according to the Water
works report, channel-depth at this point
of about twenty-five feet. The River at
Pittsburg was at stand yesterday, with
seven feet nine incees water there.
The weather yesterday was as disagreea-
BILE as it could be, without a superhuman ef-
fort. 1t began to rain early in the morning,
and continued with Interruptions to pour
down copiously until late at night. AT this
time-nearly one o'clock Of the morning-the
rain is still descending.
Business on the Landing was decidedly
dull again, yesterday, rendered more SO
than it would have been, probably, by the
soaking and steady rain, and freights were
scarce at our last quotations.
The River continued at a stand at Louis,
vile on Sunday, with seven feet eight inches
water in the Canal in the evening. On the
Falls there we're five feet eight inches water
in the pass, or four feet eight inches steam
boat water. The weather was cloudy Satur-
day, with several more showers of rain, but
Sunday was bright and warm as May.
We mentioned yesterday that the Hazel
Dell had metwith an accident near Louis
vile. The boat was landed at New Albany,
where about half the freight was dicharged.
The leak was then stopped, and the boat
went to Madison TO be hauled out on the
ways for thorough repairs. The damage to
the cargo will be very slight, if any at all, as
the water only got few inches over the
dunnage.
There was considerable rise in the Arkan-
sas last week, with fully fifteen feet water
at Fort Smith.
The old Castle Garden sank on the Lower
Rapids, near Louisville, the other day, but
no doubt she was soon ahoat again, as it is
impossible to keep her down.
Yesterdays st. Louis Republican observes,
under date of Sunday evening:
The River here continues to swell rapidly.
| The rise in twenty-four hours, ending at
dark last evening, was fully two feet.
AL the upper rivers are rising. The Illi-
nois River is bank full, and overlooking the
| country to such an extent that the boats can
not get to the warehouses, The Upper Mis-.
| sssippiis rising slowly from Rock Island
down. There are five feet on the Upper and
four feet on the Lower Rapids.
The Missouri River is rising from Omaha
down, and is in good stage.
The weather is showery. Yesterday morn
ing was clear and beautiful. In the afternoon
we had shower of rain and it remained
cloudy at dark.
The Jeanie Dean left for Keokuk. Rowens
for Missouri River with good trip. j. w
Cheeseman for Cincinnati, and the Rogers
from Illinois River.
Arrivals were the Warsaw, from Keokuk
Lacrosse and Fred Lorenz, from Upper
Mississippi; Americus, Post Boy and Fred
Noble, from Illinois River; Jno. II. Dickey
from Memphis, and Florence from the Ohio
River.
Fridays New Orleans papers say;
The weather yesterday was rather windy
and threatening rain, but after all the cloudi
were hanging over our heads without send
ing down the refreshing shower we needed
Business was barely tolerable. Ouschiti
and Tensas boats were receiving freely, bui
the Red River feet did not seem to have tht
best show. St. Louis freights, since the
Ggency matter has been rearranged, seem
TO be more plentiful, and also more equally
divided among the boats. For Memphis hu
little is offering. The lngomar seems to b.
the only regular Memphis packet left, though
the Simonds has the most of her cargo fol
Memphis. She extends her trips, however
to Cairo. ..F f.. .
