The New Albany Ledger seems to
have different opinion of the running quail
tiles of the great j. A. Gotten, concerning
which the Courier has spOuted so vigorous
Iy. The Ledger says:
We understand from those who witnessed
the departure of the steamer J. A Gotten for
New Orleans last evening, that the she dis
played but little sign of speed. Although
she has powerful engines aud machinery,

1.-THE following items we clip from the
Louisville Courier of Saturday;
The river was falling rather fast yesterday,
with scant seven feet six inches water in
the canal by the mark at dark. On the falls
there were five and half feet water 10 the
pass. During the previous tweuty-four
hours the river had fallen three inches at
the headOf the falls, and nine inches at Port
land. The weather has become milder, and
was quite cloudy last evening, indicating
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-

in part to The scarcity of money and to the
unsettled condition of affairs since the ad-

THE Cincinnati Gazette of Saturday
says
The weather was clear, mild and genial
yesterday. Towards night the sky became
cloudy, with appearances of rain. The riv-
er since our last report has receded about
four inches. Business was extremely dull
Vt the levee yesterday, and outside of the
peal packet business the shipments did not
xceed three hundred tons. The New Or
leans trade is becoming worse every day,
and during the past two weeks has fallen Off
fully fifty per cent There is but little
whisky being shipped, which heretofore was
the principal standby of our New Orleans
steamers, and boats which carried out
twelve and fifteen hundred barrels Of whis-
ky each trip now take out one or two hun
bred. The Memphis, Nashville and ST.
Louis business is only moderate
