There was but little business transacted
| on the levee yesterday morning. !!-sa.- The
Rose Hambleton, Laura Fenton and Ber-
muda had good trips. The Rose Hamble-
| ton discharged considerable lot of freight
| here. The Charmer had a fail packet
trip. She was receiving fairly for her re-
turn trip. The Rose Hite, in trying to
make way landing on Wednesday night
| about mile above the mouth of Green
River. ran into a mud bar under a good
head of steam, that she was unable to work
! herself off. She set her spars but found no
bottom to the mud at Il feet deep, and gave
uu the effort. Captain Ballard came down
| to the city, and yesterday morning the
Bermuda went to her assistance, but up to
| the hour of closing this report there was
no sigh of the Rose. .,.....The Newsboy
continues to make regular trips from and
to Henderson. Our Hibernian friend, Pat
Burke, is still grand Tycoon in the ofiice.
