Captain Slut Neal of the Indiana, who is now
building at Madison. Ind, the Richmond, for the
lovv-nressnre nachinery, of +be lannon's Jacob
Strader. was in Cincinnati ON Friday. He saws he
intends To make tbe Richmond the largest finest
safest and fastest steamer adoat The frame of
the hull is set IN, and he contemplates TO have
this famous marine steamer completed and ready
for business by the LIST of January.
Business on the levee Yesterday was compare
lively dull with but few arrivals and departures.
On Sunday morning a steady rain set in. which
continued up to last night The rain yesterday
deferred SHIPMENTS and the Mariner was unable
to put out her freight on account Of the rain and
the bad condition Of the landing Last week we
were stranred with dust, this week we viii viii be
mired in mud, as in many places on the landing
< no bottom.'' We think that if the city council
would be compelled to wade through the mud on
the levee they would soon see the propriety of
paving the leyee, and the benefit to be derived
from It. If the landing was paved from Jefferson
street to Beal it would prove beneficial to the
shipping public Steamboatmen could then dis
charge their cargoes with safety, and would not
have to paw SO much damages. and our merchants
would receive their freight in good ORDER
Our merchants should take hold of the matter
and urge the city council to have the landing
paved. No merchandise could be delivered in
good order with the landing in the condition il
was in yesterday If the ram that we have had
here for the last two days extends up the river,
we may look for good rise.
