The river is about stationary, and
is down just to tle top of the curbing
at the river line of the wharf. A
rise of some magnitude is reported as
coming from above, and it is possible
we may experience a good rise here,
which viii enable the side-wheel
packets to continue in the trade. A
magnificent rain fell here Saturday
evening. and considerable rain fell
during the night. The pilots of the
Morning Star report a very heavy
rain up the river at 4 o'clock yester-
day morning. The atmosphere was
mild aud pleasant yesterday. though
the mercury touched 90' at noon, but
was down to re at dark, with signs
of more rain.
