A great change came over the face of lhe
weather yesterday. March, who mighs
| have left a pleasant memory behind her
had she maintained the graceful and
bright appearance she wore on Friday and
Saturday, out of pure 'cussedness" re-
sumed the frown that darkened her brow
from the first, and passed away execrated
b. all. 1t rained from 10 o'clock till
nearly night, the rain at times being
| mingled with snow. The river is fall
Ing very slowly here, and was ris-
ing Saturday night at Louisville. 5000.
The arrivals and departures from three
o'clock Saturday up to sunday midnight,
include the ]. d. Perry, Louisville to Mem
phis; VIM. White to Green River Tarascon,
Louisville and return; Charmer and
Quickstep, from Cairo; Stonewall Louis
vile to New Orleans; Shamrock and
Armenia, st. Louis to Cincinnati; Clifton,
Cincinnati to Memphis; Kate Robinson.
Pittsburg to st. Louis; Emma No. 8, New
Orleans to Cincinnati; Norman, Memphis
TO Louisville; Anna, Memphis to Cincin-
natl; Hoosier and Buckeye, from Wabash
River; PetroIia No. 2, and Advance No. 2,
to Wabash River; Morning Star, Louis
vile to Henderson,; Palestine, Nashville
to Louisville. Most of these boats had ex-
cellent tr;rs. The Norman and M
ma Nc. 8 were rather light. .........-.........
The Cairo packets had but little freight
and but few people.....-..We advertise this
morning the grea. lOw-pressure steamer
Richmond, to leave this port for New Or
leans next Sunday. She is perhaps the
most perfectly modelled steamboat IN the
world. We are indebted to w. w. Craw-
ford, the corn king, for a fine photograph
of this great steamer, which is exceedingly
beautiful; also, to Capt. Gilmore, for a
photograph of the interior of one of her
state-rooms. She will probably receive
more freight here than at Louisville .......
The Cairo packet company has resolved it
self into its original elements. c apt.
Dexter took as his interest the
Charmer, which he has traded
one-third interest in the Quickstep,, of
which he takes command to-day. He
gives, we are informed, $1,000 to boot.......
Captain Chess takes command OF the
Charmer. and will put her in the Evans
vile and Tennessee River trade, leaving
on Tues lay. We esteem the Charmer one
of the best stern-wheelers of her size on
the river. Captain Gus. Dusouchet. r.
K. Dunkersen and tie Fowlers take as
their interests the Armada, which will g
the Wednesday and Saturday packet
Capts. ]. v. Throop, Gus. Lemcke, and
John Gilbert take the Mayfiower, and she
| will be the Tuesday and Friday packet for
Cairo. Capt. Gus. Dusouchet takes COM
mand of the Armada, with Billy Fowler in
| the office. We hope there will be gene
| rous and harmonious rivalry between the
| several boats to build up the trade between
this city and Cairo, as on the success OF
| these boats much of the prosperi-
| ty of this city depends.:.....
We had the great pleasure yesterday OF
greeting our elegant friend, Captain James
T. Cox, who arrived from Memphis yester-
day morning by the Emma No. 3, looking
| extremely well.........Co1.; Guthrie, Super
vising Inspector, left on Saturday morning
for Terre HATTIE.
