Weather and Water.
The weather yesterday was clear and
mid, though cold with a slight frost in the
morning. The wind was from the east,
which is said to pressage rain and storm.
The river here is nearly stationary, prob
ably swelling lightly on the outside of the
bar, while it appears falling on the inside
by reason of the direction of the wind,
which blows down stream. The Louis
Vile papers have dispatches from Pitts
burgh announcing eleven feet at that port,
while the Cincinnati Commercial of same
date has advices Of but four feet and a few
inches. With eight feet i've inches from
Louisville to Cincinnati, we should have
at least five and Il half feet to this port and
five feet to Cairo within the week. The
prospect is favorable for fair navigation.
Arrivals and Departures.
The arrivals and departures up to three
O'Clock yesterday include the Newsboy.
Henderson and return; Alpha Cairo to
Louisville; Chattanooga, Cairo to Evans
Vile.
