weather and water.
The weather yesterday was cloudy and
cool. A light rain set in about o'clock,
and the aspect Of the clouds was favorable
to a steady rain, If the wind continued
from the south. The river here is declin-
. ing very slowly, if at all, but the prospect
for rise is not hattering, and the advices
from the headwaters are rather discourag-
ing.
Arrivals and Departures.
The arrivals and departures up to three
O'Clock yesterday include the Newsboy,
Henderson to return; Chattanooga, to
Cairo.
Boats Due.
Among the first boats due here are the
Darling and Emperor. for Memphis; EN-
pire an Edinburg, from Memphis; Luella,
Charmer, sam. Orr. and Nashville, from
Cairo; Palestine, from Louisville; Ada

Boats Leaving To-Day.
For CAIRo.-The elegant steamer Charm
er. Capt. H. T. Dexter, will, we presume,
be the regular packet to-day for Cairo and
all way ports at 8 O'Clock. She has excel
lent passenger accommodations and is OF
good speed. Jack Grammer and Walter B.
Pennington are her cIer ks, and more cour-
teous, obliging and pleasant gentlemen
would be hard to find anywhere.
The Fanny Brandeis will probably also
go to Cairo to-day, though she will prob
ably lie over till tomorrow. The stage of
the river and the state of the weather rem
der the movement of boats very uncertain.
For EoUIsvILLR.--Iti is doubtful whether
there will be any packet through from
Louisville to-day, on account of low water,
but the Ollie Sullivan. ever valuable and
very light, win leave at I0A. NJ, to connect
at greensboro with the Palestine, and will
carry passengers comfortably.
For CINCINNATI.-As the Leonora No. 2
did not get in to leave yesterday, she may
be expected to-day, and is worthy of a
liberal patronage. Capt. Davis and Lew.
Morris are her elegant officers.
FOR TENNEssEE RIvER.-The Lewellin is
also behind time, but will certainly be
here to leave to-day. She is superb boat,
with accommodating officers.
FOR GREEN RIvER.-The beautiful Ada
Lyon, with her beautiful "toggery" ON,
will leave this evening for Green River.
Her admirable pas .enger appointments
conmends her tosthe people.
