CINCINNATI.-The Commercial Of
Sunday says:
The river, at present, is in a very
night stage, and the inhabitants Of
Rat Row were hastily preparing to get
other quarters, fearing an overflow.
All steamers passing under the bridge
are compelled to lower their chin
neys to prevent accidents

with cargo consisting, Of $500 sacks
corn.
The Coal Valley sunk three barges,
containing 40, 900 bushels Of coal, on
Friday night, by striking against the
Steubenville bridge. In this c0nnec-
tion.we would state that If the pro-
posed pier bridge IT Newport is de-
cided upon it will prove to be great
nuisance to this city and vicinity, as
coal boats will be constantly striking
the piers, and sinking their barges Of
coal, which will make an additional
cost Of i per cent. on each bUshel of
coal consumed; and as there are about
twenty million bushels of coal con
sumed here annually, the public will
perceive that they will have to pay aa
enormous price for it.
The Commercial Of Monday says:
Seven empty barges broke loose
from their mOOTings, at Fulton, yes
terday, aud were carried down the
river by the swift current. The
Champion No started after them,
and has probably overtaken them ere
this.

Capt Ed. Evans, of the Westmore
land, is getting better of his rheuma-
tism. aud expects to take command |
next trip.

Sunday says:
On the Falls last evening, there were /
TO feet Of steamboat water for eitherass I
cending or descending boats, the mid |
die being the most available chute. /
The bridge piers are fast disappearing, |
aud the pilots have hazardous time
Of it in avoiding those formidable OBJ
struchOns to free navigation.

There Is a general decline of the up
