SATURDAY Morning. Nov. I. 1853

| walls we're quite numerous but the packets adver-
tised TO leave this evening were not being pushed
There is at present five Red river packets in
port all advertised 10 leave this evening. but il
thew all get off we fear that or two of them at
least will have light trips.
An impression seems 70 prevail amongst ship
pers that they are imposed upon BY the present
rates. and in consequence of this considerable
Red river freight Is at present held back awaiting
a fall Tin "a es, we mean. not IN the river) In
our opinion the present rates double card) are
really moderate, considering the difficulties to be
surmoun ted and the time occupied 10 making a
trip, and without fear of contradiction, we assert
that in week or ten days rates will have sd.
vsnced at least twenty-five per cent. TO Shreve-
port, whilst Jefferson freight will be hard to ship
at any price. Old Red is still going down, and the
low sage OF the Father of Waters aud its upper
tributaries, all tend to convince that long
spell OF low water navigation may be looked for.
