The weather yesterday was wintry. The sun
after making several Intellectual attenps TO pierce
iia Ray through fac clouds, which for nearly q
week past have cast their gloomy shadow upon
this locality gave ap in despair. The leFee did not
uresaaS very animated appearance, and q large
number 81 Tie boats advertised TO leave yesterday
laid oger until to-day. The arrivals were but few
In number. From the large number Of packets al
the esee--a fair proportion Of which advertise to
leave this evening considerable activity may be
expected on both landings to-day
The Rne passenger packet Flora Temple, having
been taken under the wing Of Capt. Glasscock,
will be found at the landing this morning, and will

Tie steamer Rapides is receiving ataithe foot of
Common street, and viii leave for Red river at 5
o'clock This evening positively.
= The 81. Louis Republican Of the 2eth alt. says
Yesterday was q mild, soft, melting day. The
snow and ice were reduced from a frozen to q
LIQUID stat rapidly, and the streets were mining
4 deep in siush and water, rendering outdoor bust
ness very unpleasant 4 thin hazy cloud over
q spread The sky, and the weather also predicted
rain; no rain came, however, and conjectures
# about tho weather would be useless.
There was no business done on the leyee of any
Importance. The Lasalle YVES receiving slowly for
d Flew Orleans. The Arizona was preparing to
leave for Memphis, and the Gheesman was taking
the preliminary steps towards an Ohio river trip.
4 The business on the leVee amounted to nothing.
We look for slight sensation the ieyee to-day,
providing the weather continues favorable for river
business The hoatmen feel as if they would rather
he Ut work than lying idle.
The river, 50 far as We could ascertain, was
swelling slowly, yesterday. 1t probably rose two
inches III the twentyfaur hours ending at dark last
evening. The rise is doubtless caused by the gem
eral thar which has taken place. There is only
three feet in the channel out to Cairo. We have
sgS news from any of the upper rivers. The I'LL
sos ID sill closed with ice, and the Mississippi is
gerged8 above Alton.
There is very little ice floating past the city, and
that little is fram the Missouri river IT is supposed
i that the Board OF Underwriters will permit boats
I'd leave port for the South to-day. as the river is
0Den below. and there is not enough of ice in it to
Interfere with navigation.
The Iauisyiile Democrat, Of the seth ult., says:
The river was falling quite fast yesterday, with
eight feet water nv the mark In The canal six feet
the pass and five feet over the rocks on falls
adeclinh Of seven inches in 81 hours.
Theriver AT Cincinnati was falling yesterday, and
hasfeceded tWa feet five inches.
TIE Cincinnati Gazette, Of the s0th nlt, says:
Il Tie weather yesterday was mild and pleasant.
river is falling steadily, at the rate of inches
iii 2I hours. There il but little business doing at
y the river. except in the New Orleans trade The
shipments for the South are improving, and two
