Monitor Furnace Landing, on
Telegraph passed down, she had
careened, with the water up to her

she lies across a log. A portion of

The towboat Resolute yesterday
came from the foot Of the canal up
the Indiana chute, and landed at the
foot of Ninth Street, in thirty-two
minutes, the quickest time ever made
by any boat. Captain Pink Marble
was at the wheel.
ST. Louis. = The Democrat of
Saturday says
The decline in the river continues
here steady. The Illinois is still
over its banks, was falling. but Is now
nearly on a stand. The Upper Mis-
sissippi is falling slowly, with fair
stage hence to St. Paul. The Mis-
souri, is rising rapidly. Boats have
seen much trouble lately below Kan
sas City, but the rise will let them all
out. The Virginia was aground
when last heard from, but may have
worked through the bad places before
the rise reached her. The Turner,
bound down, passed Atchison on
Wednesday morning, and was, no
doubt, drawing more water than there
is below. Some three steamers have
mad their hulls badly damaged 10 the
Missouri, within short time. Mis- !
souri, River boats are not to be great
ly envied, for between delays, DANA
ges and low rates Of freight, their ca
reer cannot result proftably. Hur
The Glasgow, while coming down
the stream, ran upon a hidden log in
Malta Bend, and large number of
her timbers were broken, @probably
one hundred and fifty. She is a strong
boat, otherwise her injuries would
have been greater. y78T enaH3s Fl

night fell lfom a barge in tow of the
boat, above Cape Girardeau, and was
drowned The boat was bound here
and rived yesterday. Sturges was
lately from England, and is not known
to have any relatives In this country.
There was a terrific storm along the
the other day. The Schuyler
was caught by the wind and blown
against large tree with such power
as to force it out of the ground. The
boat was not injured. At Sharpe's
Landing, we learn that two ware
houses were blown down, while at |
Liverpool no damage of any moment
was done. 5 6.tE

day says:
Weather warm and sultry. To-
wards evening it clouded up, and af-
ter dark we were treated to a light |
shower of rain. which cooled the at
to some extent. The river |
here declined one and one-half inches
in the past tWenty-four hours, and has
declined two and one-half inches alto

White and St. Francis Rivers con-
tinue on the decline. The Arkansas
