A passenger on the Cbampion for
st. Louis, was swindled out of S575
yesterday, by the confidence game
He cashed a check for ST. ZOO. and af-
forwards found that it was worthless
Twas the " old, old story told again"
Frank Devinuoy, brother of Cant.
ID. h. Dcvinney, local inspector of
this port, died suddenly Saturday
morning, of heart disease. His re-
mains were taken to Steubenville for
burial. He was tWenty-six years of
age.
LOUISVILLE. - The Courier Of
Wednesday says:
Capt. Dunham's new boat the Mary
Houston, was successfully launched
from the shipyard Of Messrs. Stewart
IL Barmore, at Jacksonville yester-
day afternoon, and was lowed over 10
the city wharf to receive her machin-
cry, &c.
The Journal says:
The Indiana was receiving very
freely yesterday, aud will positively
leave tomorrow for New Orleans.
She is an elegant boat, and her off
GERS are choice specimens culled from
the good side of humanity.
The War Eagle is coming down the
Missouri with a log or snag In her.
She took it while bound up the Mis-
souri,; cut off the outside cad and letit
drop, and allowed the balance to con-
tinue plugging the hole it had made.
A bulk-head was built around the
formidable visitor, and no freight was
damaged.
The clerks in and about the North
ern Line wharf-boat at st. Louis,
had one hundred Paschal tickets.
Result, M sewing machine, ~associa-
ton. Value, $65.
A single firm at St. Paal shipped,
on "Wednesday, 200 barrels. Of cram
berries.
General Weitzel and his corps Of
engineers, were out in the river above
the fails yesterday, surveying, with "a
view to build the much talked of
canal dam.
ST. LoUIs.-The Democrat Of
Wednesday says:
River on the decline. To Cairo,
FIVE feet to FIVE feet eight inches is the
depth reported. Pilots Gregg, Baird
and Hamilton agree IN reporting
three feet ten inches water at Iowa
Island, with a stick. La addition TO
the low water in the Missouri. dense
fogs Interfere with the movements of
steamers; hence predictions as to the
arrivals of steamers are much at fault.
Weather pleasant. Business con-
tinues fair. Shipments 10 New Or
leans were pretty liberal yesterday at
the lately increased rates, and cabin
berths were engaged at $50 to New
Orleans, and deck passage 50.
NEW ORLEANs.-The Times Of
Sunday says:
There was no change perceptible in
the weather from that OF the previous
day. The weather was rather close
for an October day, but otherwise was
pleasant enough to suit almost any
body.
Business on the landing was uau-
sually active for Saturday. Every
body who could get off left, while
shippers hurried their shipments To
the landing to escape a couple OF
days detention, which, if remained
unshipped, would occur 10 day and
Monday. We noticed that each de-
parting packet had ample freight, be-
sides q fair number of passengers.
