miscellaneous.
There was a fair amount of business
being done on the levee, yesterday,
though the arrivals were not numer
Gus before noOn"......The Cumber-
land had fair packet trip, and had
prospects of an excellent trip out......
The Legal Tender arrived at 9 o'clock
A. N. from New Orleans, with a mag
nifcent up-river trip, as will be seen
by her manifest published below.
She has had tedious trip, being very
deeply loaded, and having to battle
with very heavy ice from Memphis
to Cairo...........The Louisville lay
over till near noon yesterday.
and added to her freight before
enumerated as received here, 100 bar
rels pork, % barrels corn meal.........
There was dense fog on the river
yesterday morning until nearly 10
o'clock, OBTAINING steamers, and sew
eral, over due, had not arrived at
noon.........The Rose Hite arrived at
l o'clock pretty light. She lies over
till 9 A. NJ. to-day......Captain Doyle's
new boat came up to the wharf late
Thursday evening, and they expected
to leave last evening for the Wabash,
but would hardly get of. She
is a neat little boat, with a full
cabin and pleasant state-rooms,
having two boilers and good
machinery. She was built to
the machinery Of the Petrolia No. 2.
by Capt. Doyle and John A. Adams.
They had named her Mary D. but
were advised by the Surveyor Of the
Port that they had no right TO change
the name from Petrolia No. 2. We
should think this a strange decision.
She is new boat out and out, except
the machinery and hull, the latter Of
which was nearly rebuilt.
