CISCINNATI.-The Commercial OF Thurs
day says:
The weather was cloudy and cool yester-
day, with the wind from the prtheast all
day. The mercury ranged at 340 morn. ng
and evening, and $50 at noon. 1t COM
menced showing at P. N, with prospect
of continuing all night, having fallen to
the depth of one inch up to 10 o'clock
Special dispaic hes 10 the Daily CONNER
ci0l report it showing last night at Chilli
Gothic, Chicago, Indianapolis, Louisville,
Madison, and all along the Wabash River.
The indications favor general rise from
Wheeling TO Cairo. If We DO not get II
coal boa rise at Pittsburg, we have the
consolation of knowing there will be suf-
fcient water to let out light lows of coal
from Pomeroy and Hanging Rock, and
permit the present steamers loading at
Cincinnati for the South to depart in a few
days.
LoUIsv1LLE.-T The Courier. of Thursday
says:
The river continues at a stand, with only
! TWO f6eI nine lncle> water IN the canal by
the mark. The weather was cloudy and
heavy in the morning, with a light rain u
| the afternoon, followed by a snow storm,
with some hopes that 1t would turn TO
| rain, a. the barometer was falling and the
thermometer noted IS deg ees.
There was considerable rain at Nash
| vile tuesday night and rise may be con-
4 fdl nifty anticipated in the Cumberland.
| The Falls CITY, Capt. RobinsOn's sJaunch
and very complete packet for the Louis
/ vile and Green River trade, had steam up
yesterday to try her machinery. She cast
/ loose her lines and made short run up
/ the river ana returned The engine work
| ed well and the boat was all right, and she
will soon be ready for Green River.
The Il l.. w OOdWard, formerly q TenneS-
/ see River packet, has been sold in st.
. Louis t. David Campbell for 81 SOC.
There is a general II liberation of the
weather from cairo to 1T. Paul. On sum
day heavy ice hOated as low down as
| Quincy. 1alena River froZe over during
Friday night, and men were skating on it
| A dispatch, dated Nuscatine. November
/ 30th, says: " W Weather intensely cold last
night, entirely closing the river at this
/ point, but the ice has since comm enced to
move away" on the same day huge
cakes OF ice were floating past Dubuque.
A special from Memphis says:
| The Ficksburg. bound tor this port, to
! enter the New Orleans trade, is hard
aground below Helena. The Great Re-
public is hard aground five hundred yards
| out of the channel, between Friar's Point
| and Delta, and is likely to remain there
until rise. The Pauline Carroll is aground
/
| at Island No. Is, with only six feet water
| to Vleksburg.

Drizxlng weather yesterday. River sta
| tiOnary. Very good water now to Keokuk,
| in the Missouri, and in the illinois. but
! business essentially played out. Dispatches
dated Jefferson City, Sd, report the side
| streams rising rapidly Business seems

/ Iional boats are added to the laid-up list
/ the Clara, Gerard Allen and Tom Jasper.
| The Laeon has laid up at Peoria, on the
