RIVER NEWS.

The Ohio is still receding here, having de-
clined, during the t~wenty-four hours ending
last evening, some fourteen or fifteen inches
leaving, according TO the reporto Of the Water
works, a ehannel.depth at this point of some
twenty. six feet. The River at Pittsburg was
falling yesterday, with nine feet ten inches
water there.
The weather was warm, clear and beauti-
full yesterday-all that could be desired Of
spring, even in this latitude, where the YER
nal season is most charming.
Business was quite active on the Landing
yesterday, though less so than on Monday,
and the wharf was nearly covered with
freight for the various ports. Rates were
unchanged.
The river was slowly receding at Louis
vile on Monday, about two inches in twenty
four hours at the head of the Falls, with nine
feet seven inches water in the Canal in the
evening. On the Falls there were six feet
seven inches steamboat water for descend
ing boats, and a little over FIVE feet up the
middle chute. The weather was clear and
pleasant.
Fridays New Orleans papers observe:
The National was unable to get higher
than Spoon Camp, twenty miles below Cam
den, where she had to stow her freight. She
reports the Ouachita falling; but when she
left there were indications of a rise, which
makes it probable that she can reach Camden
on next trip, leaving on Saturday. The
Scotland, a big freighter, with over 300 tunsi
of Western produce from st. Louis, was ly-
ing up thirty miles below Camden waiting
for water to get up. The Grand Era broke
her wrist when a short distance below Alex
andria, and had TO transfer her passengers
and part of Der freight to the W. Burton,
which took them to Shreveport. The Grand
Era then returned here and the T. Roberts
leaves in her place on Monday, and will run
as a regular weekly packet in her stead.

cording ethe City Engineer measurement,

inches in the twenty-four hours ending at
