River and Weather.
From noon Wednesday to noon
Thursday, the water rose full four
inches, which is fast at the present
stage Of the river. 1t was, expected
that it would begin receding last night.
On Wednesday night there was quite a
strong gale Of wind, and good deal
of rain. The night was stormy, and
the boats due were, no doubt, detained
in consequence. Yesterday the sun
shone out, but the atmosphere was
cold and chilly. 9 IT h fsne1ss

Business was but moderately active
on the levee yesterday. Up to noon
there were but few arrivals. owing, no
doubt, to the fact that Wednesday
night was so extremely stormy....,........
The Il. M. Shreve did not get away
till near daylight yesterday morning.
She took on 5000 bags of corn at this,
port, all to be ''guddledn out along
the coast, being to fill o large number
of orders received BY parties in this
place. It seems that the statement
made that the Shreve was designed
for the Mountain trade, is mistake.
She was built for the coast trade BE-
low Memphis,...,.The Mary Swan is
now ready for the trade again, and it
was the intention to take her from the
dock yesterday, and to load her for,
Memphis to-day ....The--J. P. Webb
goes on the dock for repairs. A col
lision with snag in the Mississippi
river, shiyered some of her timbers, in
consequence of which she will have to
lay by till repaired. which will be but
short time .....The Armada had
fair trip, consisting in part of a num-
Der of hogsheads of tobacco......T The
mud on the levee renders the wharf
boats almost inaccessible to pedestri-l
ans; but lin9 front of the American
Housea .foot-path has been laid of
broken bricks bywhichf tho boat may
be reached with tolerable3 degree Of
comfort; q good idea.
