it to keep the water in, prsSseded to let
the water off from the boiler. When
the engineer and fireman came aboard
the next morning, they proceeded to fire
up, believing from the appearance of the
water guage THAI all was right. Finding
steam was making too fast, they sus-
pected all was not right, and, wetting
the fires down, proceeded to an examina-
ton. But the villain had overstepped
the mark. He had so nearly emptieI
the boilers that no damage was dene ex-
cept in o~verheating the iUes. She was
towed to this port and laid over two trips
for repairs.
The following is from a letter to the
Cincinnati Gazette; Seventy-three years
ago the first boat started from Cincinnati
up the Ohio. 1t was bullet proof, equip
ped with two cannon and small arms.
The round trip to Pittsburg was made in
four weeks. At that time the Queen City
was q mere military post, which three
years afterward only contained five hun
dred inhabitants. Pittsburg was a little
nest Of unelean birds, built way up in the
forks of this great highway of nature,
and between these two points a wilder
ness stretched on either side of the river
whose wild grandeur was emily empha-
sized by the two OF three dots which had
been made by the foTerunners of a ON
ing civilization. Seventy-three years !
and Fort Washington, with a population
Of some two o three hundred, is Cincin-
natl with a population Of $4,000; Pitts
burg is no longer a nest, but a great city,
whose breath Of smoke and thousand
tongues of flame heat the very atmo-
sphere that surrounds it; the two or
three dots Of civilization between these
two points have multiplied into a hum
dred and ten thriving cities and villages,
all palpitatiDg with the industry of a free
and prosperous people. The steamers
that now ply the river, could they all be
brought together, would make a floating
city In which a hundred thousand people
could dwell with comfort.

OFFICE OF THE DAILY
MEMPHIS. June Is, 1857.
Our banks report no ease in money
matters. Deposits are very low and lit
tie demand for accommodation. The
difficulty experienced in discounting,
however, accounts for the few calls. Ex-
change remains scarce, with very o
crate demand. The buying rate for
eastern ranges from par to of. Check
ing on New York at premium, 81.
Louis, I premium, and Cincinnati at
premium. In New Orleans there IS
nothing doing.
Gold is gradually going up. Dealers
buy at 81 to SIZE, while 3I5c would be
readily paid for a good sized lot.
Silver is scarce at q to 2Sc buying.
Mexican dollars "a to 35c.
There is a growing demand for city
scrip and il has advanced to 50 and zoe
buying, at which latter figure several
thousand dollars were sold to-day. Some
dealers, however, would pay but 81 10 Csc.
County warrants are dull at 50 TO Soc
buying selling at IS to 9Oc.
Police scrip is in moderate demand at
zoe buying; selling at 75c.
There is very little doing in stocks or
( bonds, and those offered would not real
ize their actual value.
The usual transactions are kept up in
notes of %uncurrent banks, at the figures
found in this column. There is no aotiv-
ity noticeable in any particular bank
and quotations will be found much the
same as at our last.

In the produce market there still x
ists much weakness. Corn was reported
sitter to-day on the landing, but there
was nothing Of the kind indicated IN
store, where it was offered freely at yes
terday's quotations. Hay is very dull
and buyers can get it at nearly their
own figures, for common. Prime is
scarce. Oats are dull and weak. Bran
is out of market. Mess pork is declining.
Meal is offered at our quotations, liber-
ally. Potatoes and onions are scarce
and firm. Chickens are also firm, while
butter is a drug, and can be bought at
any price. Eggs are plentiful but toler-
ably firm.
GOTTON-The market is weaker to-
dav and buyers are indifferent-23c is
ab0ut the outside offer fO4 middling, but
We could learn of no sales at that figure.
In fact the transactions for the day were
very meagre and confined TO odds and
ends-mostly low grades. The receipts
in the past "A hours were 26 bales. Ship
ments none. Receipts for the week, 3SS
bales. Shipments 2l07 bales.

RIVER MATTERS.
WEArHER am nUsINEss.

It is too hot Though not unseasonably
sol for the transaction of any extra
amount of business upon IA landing.
This cause, or a general aint-got-any-bu-
siness-to.do spirit prevails, and the natu-
raj effect follows that little is done. The
upper Mississippi is still rising all the
way from La Crosse, with heavy rains
reported. The Illinois is falling. The
Missouri is rising at headquarters, and
from there to the mouth, yet it is not be-
lieved that the rise will be disastrous
ever along the banks Of that stream.
At Louisville, on Thursday, the river
was falling steadily about two inches in
twenty-four hours at the head OF the fails,
and six inches at Portland, with hve
feet four inches water in the canal. The
Arkansas and White rivers are reeeding
rapidly.
