night at 9o'clock. The river was ris-
ing last night at the rate of 3 inches
an hour, and was within less than 10
feet of high water mark 4 Thatit viii
go beyond this point we have scarcely
a doubt. During the "a hours ending
at noon yesterday, it had risen 10 feet
qat Oincipati, and there was nsingJ3
inches per hour. Wabash and White
rivers are overfowing all the coun-
try, and so also is Green River.........
Alex. Simpson was becoming alarmed
yesterday in regard to his lumber, and
waspiH search of a fat boat to load it
in The bottom above the city is
deeply overlooked, and few feet will
bring the water7over the farm across
the riEer@.....!The only additional ar
rivals and departures up to midnight,
were the Advance Noa2,oto Wabash
River; Charmer to Cairo Indiana
New Orleans to Louisville.-.l,.... The
Charmer left about dark with big
trip Of both freight 8 and pso-1
ple......:..,.The Indiana arrived from
New Orleans with an inn
mense trip. She discharged Sc pack
ages here, consisting of Il hhds. Of
sugar, % barrels of, molasses, &c.
She has had terrible weather, having
been compelled to lie by almost every
night since she left New Orleans.
Among her passengers we had the
pleasure ofEmeeting Captain John
Richey, one of the pilots of the Wild
Wagner. Captain Roberts, and the
clerks, NJ. D. Condiff and Dick Pen
nington, remained to settle up the
business of the boat She enters the
New Orleans and Bayou Sara trade 80.
Capt. Bufinger, Superintendent of
the Alton and Mississippi Steamship
company, telegraphed R. K. Dunker-
son & Co., yesterday, that the w. r,
Arthur had left Cairo for this port to
load for New Orleans. direct She
will arrive here early to-day and leave
ON Monday, and there is a full load
for her already on Dunkerson & Co.'S
wharf boat, and on the levee. The
Arthur is one of the finest. boats on
the river, and her officers are highly
pleasant gentlemen .............. Capt.
Archer also telegraphed that
the Liberty No. 2, will positively
be here to-day for Memphis.
The Liberty is too well and too
favorably known to need a recon-
mendation from us. She is a palace
in her cabin appointments, and her
officers are princes in their profession.
........Captain Dexter telegraphs that
the Quickstep will be. here in time
to return to Cairo to-day. This, we
presume, was on the presumption that
the Armada got min time to return
yesterday. The Armada will doubt
less be the packet to- day, and the
Quickstep will lie over till Monday.
7.........The VIM White did not leave
last night, but will go to Green River
to-day........The Phantom lies over
till Monday. The importer, from
Cincinnati to Memphis, arrived at
midnight with. a big trip.
