River and Weather.
A storm passed around to the south and
east of us on Sunday evening, and we had
hoped it would cool the atmosphere, but
yesterday was sweltering hot, not quite so
hot as Saturday and Sunday, however, the
thermometer, at o'clock, only indicating
SO. with fair prospect OF srising. The
river had fallen one foot during the "a
hours up to 3 o'clock yesterday, and navi-
cation is daily becoming more circum-
scribed. There is So feet on the shoalest
bars to Cairo and Louisville.

Miscellaneous.
Business was not particularly brisk yes
terday morning.......-The boats passing and
arriving have generally good trips for the
season.. The J. r. Gilmore, Golden Ea-
gle and Tallequah had good trips. They
discharged large amount of freight here
The Gilmore had two hundred and eighty
soldiers of the 18th Regulars aboard, bound
for Little Rock.........The Indiana had q
good trip, including two hundred and fifty
head of "Broad Horns" from Texas, pur-
chased by Capt. Neal, ON speculation, and
the biggest passenger trip of the season..
The Armada had good trip in, and was
full of people. :. The Nashville had
moderate trip up. Among her passengers
were the Golden Troupe, one of whom.
Miss Storm, we regret to learn, was lost
overboard,a as is supposed, between
Mt. Vernon and this city. She
was sitting up late with the
Company, and retired to her room
about 10 o'clock. After the boat arrived
here she was missing. Her head-dress and
a portion of her toilet was found in her
room, but her bed had not been occupied.
1t IS supposed she sat down on the guard OF
the boat to get the cool breeze, dropped
asleep and fell overheard. Her loss cast q
deep gloom over the balance of the COM
pany who were coming back to the city in
fine spirits. A lady not registered was
found on board the Nashville after arriv-
ing here, SO that if Captain James found
himself short one woman, he found him
self over one........ The Charmer had fair
prospects for fine trip out, both of freight
and passengers. The Newsboy after she
came from Henderson proceeded up the
river. We did not learn her destination
..-.!......The Leonora No. 2 did not come to
time on Sunday night as the Peoples
Line" packet from Louisville. She has,
We presume, drawn out of the trade.
