foHng facts Trade aud travel between this port
and Cincinnati have been gradually decreasing dur
/ Ing the past few months; in fact there was not
\ enough to justify the number of boats IN both
| lines to Keep itub. As to the rumors Of the Peo'
pies Line Company having made an assignment,
etc. that is all 'bosh.n There is no truthin any OF
the rumofs that we heard of. Nhe directors Of
The Peoples I4iHe Company held meeting yester.
| day morning, and after due consideration on the
4 subject they deemed not only prudent but wise,
to discontinue the trips of the Peoples Line steam-
! ers between this port and Cincinnati for the
/ present.
1t is not known whether it will continue or not.
/ when trade and travel reyives, nor have they
made up their minds as to whether they will ever
/ resume again or not. AS the mater now stands
4 the Peoples Line of steamers Wild Wagner and
St. Charles, will discontinue their trips between
Louisville and Cincinnati until further orders, this
/ change to take effect tomorrow Tie Wild
Wagner will leave as usual today at II o'elock
and the St,Gharles may probably leave Ginein.
natl at the usual hour. We hope they will go on,
] and It is more than probable that they win.
The opposition Of the two lines has had a dam

city, as they competed for freights not only to
Louisville, but also to Nashville, New Orleans. and
other points South

CoND1T1oN or THE R1vERs.--The river at this
point has fallen ut least foot in the last twenty
81 four hours. This looks like low water times were
coming in earnest; hnt late dispatches from the

II pinncon, the Iowa and nearly all the other ihu-
taries Of the Mississippi in that section OF the
Ell country, are rising rapidly, and have doubt
