The river was falling fast yesterday, with
9 feet 2 inches water in the canal in the
evening by the mark. During the previ-

Portland; a very rapid decline. The
weather was warm and cloudy, with one
mometer ranging as high as s0o in the
shade; the warmest OF the season.
On the falls last evening there were feet
boats. and feet 4 inches in the pass down
the Indian chute, and falling fast.
The Louisiana, Capt. Phillips, arrived
ing, and after discharging her freight,
chiefly southern fruit, turned back. She

GERS, no doubt, having q full cargo engaged,
including 900 barrels pork, at Evansville.
Well, what should she stop at Louisville
for. Have you not had her mate, the
Louisville, there a week? The Louisiana
did not want to lie at Louisville all Sum-
mer to load. 49,
The wharf space, though very much re-
str7cted, presented ample room and large
enough for all the business offering. If
trade, however, was active the wharf at
the present stage of water would be ofvery
OF course, if you had any business, you
might need wharf to do it on. but as it is,
the foot of Third Street is sufficient.

The Democrat of Wednesday gives the
following view of surroundings:
The river business in this locality seems
ITO have been Whitfield down to the small
/ end Of nothing during the past month or
two. The boats, one by one, are passing
away" and the steamboatnen are looking
niue as indigo and sad as pall-bearers- We
don know what is the. matter. The
Louisiana came in from New ORR, ans yes
terday. The Captain came up town from
his hatrdown over his eyes, went back to
the boat, backed out, and is no doubt at
of corn in the raw. We suppose there will
be better times when the "craps'' are
gSahsed 2qps + not the Sny city
Pittsburg, Cairo, Vicksburg. Memphis,
New Orleans and Madison have "eaught
it, badly.
ST. LoU1s.-The ,Denecrat of "Wednesday,
says:
River stationary yesterdays will, we are
almost positive, be falling to-day. The
Upper Mississippi is falling through its en-
tire length. o Illinois river q YES signs of
letting down. The hoary old Missouri is
in condition for easy, safe, and deep navi-
CATION from the mouth of Benton. A boat
left for Omaha last evening, drawing six
feet water Business was rather quiet upon
the wharf, there being few boats in port
few arrivals and few departures. The heat
of the weather was very great.
! MEMPHIs.-The Bulletin of Monday says:
yesterday was a delightful day The sun
shone out brilliantly and dried the mud
caused by the rain shower on Saturday af-
ternoon.i The streets were crowded with
pedestrians all day and large numbers of
ladies visited the bluff to take view of the
river, which at this time looks like an in
land sea, is nearly bank full and is still
rising Turing the last TIVE ty-four hours
the rise was some twelve inches, and fears
are entertained that it will again overflow
the banks and ruin the plantations along
the coast.
