| The weather was cool and cloudy ,yester-
day, with steady rain, at times hard, ali
day. AT Pittsburgh the river is eight feet
and falling. The Kanawha is rising, with
five feet in the channel. Here the river
has risen three feet during the past twenty
four hours, with thirty feet hence to Louis
vile. There is twelve feet in the canal.

The river was rising rather fast yester-
day, with twelve feet water in the canal in
the evening by the mark. During the pre-
Vious tWenty-four hours it had risen one
foot at the head of the falls, and three feet
at Portland. That is a good rise on the
stage of water, and we now have big
river. The weather continues wet and dis
| agreeable, with heavy rain in the morn
ing, and a steady rain nearly all day,
/ checking all outdoor business, especially
shipments, and the boats in port had but
very little to do. &
On the falls last evening there were nine
feet steamboat water in the Indian chute
down on the rocks, and the coal-bOat fleet
were taking advantage of the tide by de-
scending the falls with their lows. The
Lake Erie in the morning, and the Star
about noon descended the falls with i'm
mense amounts OF coal, the former bound
for Memphis, and the latter for New Or
leans. Jys
