The Tarascon and ST Patrirl, have
been Withdrawn from the Louisville trade
The former goes into the Henderson and
Louisville line, while the other win ply
between this city and Vicksburg
The St. Louis Democrat Of the 26th
says
The river is running down the bank
steadily, falling & to inches per day
There is - feet water to Cairo, feet TO
Keokuk. 3 feet in the Illinois. and 4 feet
in the Missouri
There is 81 large amount OF river busi-
ness doing to and from this city. Our
trade with the Missouri alone bids fair to
rival our trade with New Orleans Boat
after foat starts for the trip OF 5000 miles,
TO Fort Benton, with all the freight and
passengers they want, and they draw
generally three feet of water We expect
these boats to suffer no further delays by
ice. The Northern Line packet, which
leaves to-day, will go through to Dubuque,
and further if she can. A few days only
ought to pass when they will be able to
reach Reed Landing al the foot of Lake
Pepin. The lake will be closed with ice
for some weeks yet The weather has
been cold here again, but there cant he
much more of it.
