Business was good on the levee yes
terday forenoon. The various wharf

Editors Journal:
The river here is falling rapidly. It
has not been as high as in 1849 by
several feet, but it has been SO high
that the great draw bridge has proved
a great nuisance, no boats being able
to pass without taking down ehimneys
and the ornamental portion of the
pilot house. Some Of the high ones
are not able to pass under the bridge
even them. This is the case with the
Mayfower. She is complete, and all
ready to start, but must wait for a
further decline. There is now 81 feet
space between the water and the
bridge. The Mayfower will COM
mence loading this morning, and has
nearly a full trip engaged, and much
of it being Memphis freight. She
will probably make her first trip
through to that port. She is
beautiful craft, and one of the most
substantially built that we have seen.
The Crescent City Silver Band ar
rived last night, and are stopping at
the Spencer House. They serenaded
the Commercial last night, and Fourth
and Race Streets were completely
blocked up Their exquisite music
was applauded by clapping of hands
and huzzas by the multitude. They
received an invitation from the mana
gers of the Old National, to attend
the theatre, which they accepted, and
had the pleasure of witnessing
Richard III, by Mr. lAdams. They
will wait for the Mayflower. S.
