RIVRR NEWS.

The Ohio has continued t0Esoede steadily
here since our last Issue, having declined,
during the twenty-fo four hours ending last
evening, some nineteen or twenty inches;
leaving, according to the W~stersworks re-
port, a channel depth at this poiat of some
seventeen and a half feet. The River at
Pittsburg was falling, at last accounts, with
six feet water there.
The weather was rainy, raw and Disagree
able on Saturday, until afternoon, when IL
cleared off and became very pleasant and
has since 80 continued; the nights being cool
but brscipg.
Business on the Landing on Saturday was
decidedly dull-more so, we think, than on
any previous day of the week. Freights
were scarce for all points at these rates:

and was quite cloudy last evening, indicat-
ing rain.
Business along the wharf yesterday may
be characterized as extremely dull, with the
arrival of but very few boats, light receipts,
and but few shipments. Commerce has re-
ceived a slight check in this quarter, owing
in part to the scarcity of money, and to the
unsettled condition of affairs.
