CINcINNATI.-The Commercial of Friday

The weather was clear and warm yester-
day. At Pittsburg, last night, the river
was rising, with forty-four inches in the
channel. Here it has been on a stand
during the twenty-four hours ending last
thecanal.

LoUIsvILLE.-The Courier of Friday says:
The river continues to recede very slowly.
with four feet one inch in the canal last
evening by the mark. During the previous
twenty-four hours it had fallen only an
inch at the head of the falls, and three
inches at Portland. The weather has as
sumed a more decided summer tempera-
ture, with clear bright sky all day, and
the hermometer at 7So at noon and rising.
On the falls last evening there were about
&c inches water in the pass down the In
diana chute, and not much prospect of that |
channel cutting out, as it is as hard as ada
mant, and as smooth as glass. 1t is, how !
ever, the safer and Surer pass just now as |
the canal is again INSTRUCTED.
The steamer Melnotte went into the !
canal day before yesterday with a lot of |
barges laden with hay, destined for New
orleans. One OF the bargeS sunk in the
canal, which was INSTRUCTED all day yester-
day, to the detention of other boats.
MEMPHIs.-The appeal, of the 3Oth ult.,
says:
Yesterday was one of the most remarka-
BILE ever experienced even by the " oldest
inhabitant" in this latitude, for during
the entire morning an overcoat would not
have been uncomfortable, and the entire
day was cold enough for March. In addi-
ton to this fact it was a remarkably dull |
day on the levee, for there was less bust
ness transacted than we ever remember to
have seen before.
The river continues to fall slowly here,
and is down to low water mark. The Ohio
is falling rapidly, and the sand bars are be-
ginning to be troublesome. The Golden
Eagle found one just above Smithland
and spent the evening with it.
The old reliable Memphis and Arkansas
River Packet Company has been incorpo-
rated by the State Legislature.
NEW ORLEANs.-The Times of Monday
last says:
The weather yesterday was oppressively
warm, although a breeze was stirring at in
terVals. At noon the sky clouded up and
showed signs of rain, bus subsequently
cleared off again.
Business on the landing was unques-
tionably dull, there being nothing doing
on any part of the landing.
There were no departures yesterday,
while the arrivals were of fair number.
