MISCELLANEOUS.
Captain Elem. Calvert has resumed
his old position as superintendent of the
Memphis and st. Louis Packet Company,
with headquarters on the wharfboat.
A dispatch from Little Rock states
that the Arkansas is at a stand, after a
big rise that overhowed large district.
All the upper rivers are rising at a
fearfully rapid rate, and big river will
be the result. 1t is calculated that the
present rise will reach the Cairo church
steeples.
The Louisville Courier, of Saturday,
says the dispatch from Cincinnati ut
noon yesterday, reported the river rising
at the rate Of three and half inches per
hour, with total rise Of ten feet six
inches in the previous twenty-four hours.
In the channel at that point there was
then forty feet water That, if correct,
forms a sure basis for calculation Of
the extent of the rise, and what may be
expected here in the next twenty-four or
hours On tie former rise,
which attained its hight on the 9TH in
slant, there was exactly forty feet water
at Cincinnati when the river commenced
reeeding At this point, however, it
has only attained a hight Of IF
teen feet four inches water in the canal,
by which it is evident that the bulk Of
the present rise is from the Kentucky, !
and the Cincinnati rise is yet to come.
There was forty three feet water in the
channel at the foot Of the falls las,
evening, the highest stage Of water for
over two years, and We think It will con
linue 70 rise at Portland in an equal
ratio with the rise at Cincinnati Take
the increase Of the stage Of water at this
point from the amount Of the rise at
and it leaves a difference Of
,even feet, which may be safely esti-
mated as the extent Of the rise at the
DOT Of the falls in the next tweniy.four
hours.
