CLIPPINGS FROM OUR EXCHANGES.
MEMPHIS, July 8.-Ths has been very warm
and sultry day, and as dull on the levee as the
veriest croaker would like to see it. Even the fact
that all the boats in port but were to leave on
their several Saturday trips did not serve to give
the levee busy appearance, as scarcely any
| freight was going. There was some freight to be
| sure, but much of it was shipped yesterday.
| slight shower Of rain fell about O'Clock, which
only serves to leave the air more murky than
before.
| The river is declining rapidly, and bars juttng
out from the Arkansas shore begin to show them
| selves very plainly.
At Cincinnati the Ohio had fallen foot inches
during the "a hours preceding Friday night, with
IL feet on the shoalest bars thence to Louisville.
The river at Louisville continues falling rapidly,
with five feet one inch water in the canal Thurs
| day evening. During the previous twenty-four
it had fallen eight inches at the head of the falls,
and two feet at Portland. On the falls there were
full three feet in the pass down the Indian chute,
4 and falling.

ness of gentleman noted for his urbanity and

The Mary E. Forsyth, which reached here about
noon, discharged twenty-three bales of cotton and

ment from Italy, to be erected over the remains of

Harkins who was terribly manged at the explosion
