The Ohio is still swelling here, but less
rapidly than on Saturday or Sunday; the
rise, during the twenty four hours ending
last evening, being about two feet, making a
channel-depth at this point of thirty two
feet. At Pittsburg the River continued
swelling at our latest advices thence.
The weather was quite wintery yesterday,
bleak and raw, rather than cold, however,
with a light snow falling at intervals
throughout the day.
Business enjoyed the usual Sabbath quiet
yesterday on the Landing, where there were
fewer steamers than we have noticed for
several days previous.
