Into a good storm of ram, then regular IAN
weather, cool nights and fNggy mornings may be
expected. There a slight dash OF ram Satur-
day afternoon, and another attempt to rain Tester-
day morning, but the influence OF the moon was
adverse and will continue so untilits next change
Along the upper Ohio the navigation is very much
restricted and the river falling from Pttsburg to
Cincinnati, and the commerce between the two
points is very light and wholly confined TO the
smallest and lightest boats.
No boats for lower ports in commission at Pitts
burg are advertised ,Rnd but very few at Cincin'
natl. At the latter port Saturday, were the
| Nightingale, Sherman, Nora and Maggie Hays,
advertised forlower porters, but as the under
writer's had refused to insure on boats towing
barges the commerce Of the place is very much
| cut of.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 3.-The weather was warm,
cloudy and showery yesterday. At noon, the
mercury indicated 80 degrees At Pittsburg, the
river is falling, with q inches in the channel.
| The Kanawha is stationery, with 30 inches in the
| channel. Here the river has risen Is inches dur
| ing the past a hours, with feet on the shoaest
| bars hence to Louisville. There is 80 feet in the
canal, and 5 feet on the shOalest bars along the
/ lower Ohio. The copious rain, yesterday morn
| ing, caused the river to swell some eighteen
inches yesterday. This rise is temporary, how
ever, as the tributary streams above are all low
and falling. twas rumored along the levee, last
| evening, that the Big Sandy packet Revenue, had

the demand,
Brown, Of the Continental, informs us that
I Capt, Ben. P, Taber, formerly of the Ruth, now
running Mississippi plantation, Is expected to SO
i on the river again.
Cium Hunk, formerly clerk OF the Clara Bell, Is
now raising peaches on the lands or orchard of N.

| men OF them yesterday, and would like to have
/ some more, 1t was one OF the largest and finest
Il peaches we ever saw. We presume the whole lot
that Clum has will come to this market.
The Henry Won Phul leaves on Friday for Mem
phis and New Orleans.
While the A. u NJ. s. s. Co. has lease of six
/ hundred feet of the wharf, we presume that they
nave perfect right to the use OF that space with
out being justly chargeable with an attempt to
g play a hog game At least, we have good au-
thority for saying that the company has no dispo-
sltion to act in a grasping or selfish manner The
) company is willing that any New Orleans Or other
= steamer, the strength of which is sufficient to
withstand without injury any pressure it may in,
cidentally and necessarily be subjected to while
there, may use the whartboat Gem and stages tol
fair compensation. TINS is precisely what ha:

p DEcLIEE OF RATEs.-Owing to the vigorous CD
S position by the railroad, and the competition D
3 rival boats the rates to Memphis declined to 40c
7 Then, to make the thing more absurd; the Pales
+ tine and Cora.S. were offering to take Memphis
freight at zoe. and New Orleans freight at SOC
We never had the felicity of running steamboat
or keeping q hotel, but we imagine slightly, tina
these rates cannot pay very heavy profits to the
competing ooaHs.--LLouisYihe journal.
