sleet, rendering the Landing excessively un-
pleasant.

than there was on Monday or Tuesday.

The river was steadily swelling at Louis
vile, with six feet four inches water in the
canal, on Tuesday, at dark. During the pre-
vious twenty-four hours the rise was ten
inches at the head Of the Falls, and thirty
inches at POrtlsnd. The weather was lit
tie cooler, though still cloudy and gloomy.
The Shreveport Gdsette Of the 29th ultI
says;
Red River bank full at Dooley's Ferry. Opposite
this place the river is rising slowly, and there s
| plenty ofwater for large boats.
The stock on the sunken steamer James
| Montgomery has been reshipped on the Scot
| land, and the deck load of freight removed
to the shore. The Mississippi was falling,
which gives hopes of raising the boat.
The Mississippi is still swelling atStLouis,
with FIVE and half feet in the channel below
so far as the river was open. 1t was still
porped at Cairo at last accounts, and foot
passengers have been crossing on the ice at
| Thebes.
At Cairo, on the 9th, there was no ice run
ming out of the Mississippi, and the river was
blocked above Cairo. -
There is no doubt about the river having
been gorged above Cairo, and we have ye
had no intelligence of its breaking up. The
river is open and clear of ice between her'
and Alton, and there is seven and half fee
in the channel. The Illinois River, and thu
Mississippi above Alton are still closed. Th'
Missouri is also blocked with ice above st
Charles.
Sundays New Orleans Delta remarks:
The arrivals at this port Of river steamers for tn
week ending on Friday noon last, were seventy
nine. The receipts show no improvement in cot
ton, sugar and molasseB. or tobacco. All thes
staples are behind the receipts of last year, coto
especially. Flour, grain and provisions exhibi
very good figures more especially when il is con
sidered that navigation on the Mississippi aboy
Cairo is new almost suspended, and that the 0hi
| River people can not ship near one half OF thei
usual quantity, owing TO financial disarrangements
| The lower landing yesterday seemed TO be unusu
ally active and most of the boats advertised left III
fair trips. Above Canal street, with the exception
of the NatcheZ, business seemed to be rather slack
| and not more than four or tiye boats managed {
| leave port. =, ,.,
from Red River. The former left Shreveport O
Tuesday, and reports the river opposite that potn
rising and, are glad to hear, business impr5yinG
Tho Texas comes from above the Rett, but did nc
bring full load, because the river fell too fast 70
her to enable her to take 1t aboard.
