Speaking Of the Steamboat Convention
to be held sc Cincinnati to-day, the Lou
isville Democrat says:
The convention that assemblies at Gin
cinnati can do much good for the steam
hot and agr. ~ arnial fnfDrnufa - A.. I
West. They should frown down al
combinations Of trade societies, especially
for the undue advancement and regula-
ton Of wages, but il any combination is
formed, the steamboat men should unite
against railroad monOpolists and against
the odious barge line managers.
Among the contemplated &C tions of
this convention one, we believe, will be
q protest against the bridge over the falls
ofthe Ohio st Louisville. Itshould either
have 3 draw over the Indiana chute, be
twenty-five feet high or the enlargement
Of the canal promptly completed.
The Maylower brought about $50 tons
OF freight to this port for the Henry

The steamer Malta was sunk in the
MuskiDgum, just below the Windsor
lock, on the 18th ult. The boat was
luEueu over 70 ln6 uuuSI HAIJeEss Auou-
rance, $4000-all she was worth.
The particulars concerning the sinking
Of the Lacey, are as follows: When
about fifteen miles this side Of Browns
vile, the captain discovered that the
channel was extremely shallow, which
rendered navigation somewhat preeari-
Gus, but having or a very light cargo,
consisting mostlyof corn and q few hides,
be deemed it advisable to push his way
through. Shortly after ten O'Clock, how
ever, she ran against q snsg a few miles
below Lafayette, and sunk. A deck
hand, who was on board at the time,
states that the passengers were
all saved by means of iife-boats, and
the steamer was left to her fate. She
is reported q total wreck, having broken
in the middle. Efforts will be made to
her machinery, which was in as
good 8 condition as possible.
