The heavy wind storm during Sun
day night created little excitement
at the wharf, as we'll as some appre-
tensions for the safety of vessels in
port. No damage was done, however,
except the J. p Webb and Coosa
changed fronts and laid with their
heads down stream. The storm
doubtless detained all steamers under
way, as it blowed great guns during
the night.........The Nick Longworth
and Legal Tender had moderate trips.
Capt. Roberts proposes to load the
Legal Tender for the noun
tains.........The Cora s. had
big load of cotton...:.....The Morning
Star went out for Louisville at IL
o'clock, with a nice trip............The

weather She had fair trip, aud is

route to New Orleans, and had fair

Parties are negotiating for the pur-
z chase Of the whole or a part of the

half of her, made by the Memphis
Z papers, a few days ago, was a mistake.
