Yesterday wss-as we predicted In our last issue
It would be-a damp, wet, disagreeable day. At
daylight the sky was obscured, and Old Sol, the
standby OF nearly every writer OF weather items
in river news columns. had no chance at all TO show
his phz," and we were heartily glad to rid our
selves for one day at least of bis company. A
heavy rain prevailed from to 8 A.. NJ. and several
slight showers fell during the afternoon. At this
writing the clouds are threatening, and we look
for more ram or regular norther ere the close
of another day.
In consequence of the weather but little freight
found its way to the landing, and the departing
steamers left with rather light trips. The only
activity upon the levee was caused by the dis
charging Of numerous cargoes OF cotton which
had arrived since the close Of business Monday
evening.

brought in 20 barrels moasses of this years crop.
