hazardous. The Canal street ferry-boat Louise
was compelled to discontinue her trips, 1.-THE

place y and up to dark the lower coast packet A.

the streets are flooded, and it appears as though
tie aoodgstes Of heaven had been opened upon

CURED both upon the river and amongst our
sea- going crafts. Business was brought to astsnd
still upon the landing yesterday. Bot little freight
was sent TO the landing and the numerous steam
els which arrived during the morning were
unable to discharge their cargoes. Many OF the
steamers advertised to leave will undoubtedly be
compelled by the weather to defer their departure

There was but one departure yesterday, viz:
