The Natoma came in from st. francis
4. river with AS bales of cotton and heI
$ usual large passenger trip. She leaves
on her return trip this evening at 5 pm.
2 Our friend Billy Clark, formerly Of the
Hambleton. has cherge Of her office.
She is q true steamer, and passengers
should not forget her,
RyIand, of the Democrat says " that an
old steamboatman assured him that
boats lad gone up the Missouri as early
as the 10th OF February and were not
stopped" a young boatman assured us
J Yesterday that boats within the past few
/ years had left st. Louis for thisand other
southern ports in midsummer, and were
= stopped Queer, amt IL?
The steamer Mexico, which burned at
|, the st. Louis wharf on Sunday night
last was insured for $4,000
The st. Louis Times of Wednesday
says: The weather continues clear and
cold, and navigation Is entirely suspend
, ed. The river is falling slowly, with
very little ice in it at this point. II was
rumored Yesterday that it had gOrged at
some point below here, aud the tact that
it only fell about two inches caused many
to believe that such was the case. 1t IS
possible but hardly probable. As we
said yesterday, navigation will not be
resumed between here aRd Cairo until "a
thsw takes place. Dispatches from Cairo
stated that the lower Ohio was rising,
and the blockade at Columbus will sOOn
be removed. Capt. Ben. Johnson, one
of the wneT of the steamer Platte Val
ley, Informs US that he intends to dispose
Of all his steamboat property and quit
the business as SOC as possible. Capt.
Johnson has been one Of our most enter
] --s-s,-~ ,aI
we hope that he will change his deter
mination TO withdraw from the business.
The "eullud p%ussons" boat, Sharkey,
and the Blackford are loading at st.
Louis for Arkansas river.
We publish below a discussion which
should be read by all our shippers. II
will settle 8 question which has beens
agitated here for some DAYS back in ref
erence to the reshippIng OF cotton frozen
dp in the rivers above. It shows very
conclusively and beyond cavil that a
shipper has 10 control whatever over
freight one it is on board a boat and
bills Of lading signed for it. No party
but the cOnsignee has any control over
it, and he IS the only party who can re-
lease a boat from her obligations.
The st. Louis Republican OF Tuesday,
says The suit of Milton Tooth, Of st.
Joseph, no, against the steamer Sc.
Cloud, for $1,000 worth Of furniture ship
ped on that boat but turned over by her
to the steamer Mamie Byers and lost,
was finally decided at Cincinnati, on
Saturday, in the plaintiffs favor. The
st. Cloud, after receiving the freight and
STIMULATING to deliver ii st this city. con-
cluded to change her destination, and
with the consent of the shippers trans
ferred her cargo. The court in general
term decided that after a shipper has re-
ceived a bill Of lading though named
as eOnsigner ana has transmitted it 10
the consignee, it follows that his author
ity to reship or to permit a transhipment
is at al end. Carriers must require ali
parts Of the bill Of lading to be given up
before they deliver their freight, and the
owner obtains cOrrelative right that be-
fore there can be a change in conveyance
the real parties in interest must be con-
suited and their consent given. By mar
atime Jaw a carrier is bound to transport
goods TO their destination on the same
vessel, unless prevented from doing so
by some event which he has not Oc-
casiOned and over which he has no CON
troll. Only q STANDING or the vessel
would permit a reshipment that freight
may be carried through. Strictly speak
ing the carrier is bound to provide anOth-
er vehicle.
