Fannie Brandeis, Evansville.
Talismsn, Cairo.
The river continues to fall slowly at this
point, with 4 feet inches on Harpeih
Shoals. Weather clear and pleasant.
The Talisman, which arrived yesterday
morning, had fue freight trip, including
100000 feet lumber. 433, 500 shingles, SO
bales hemp, 10 bags cotton yarn, 81 kegs
shot, 10 bbls whisky, Is casks pitch, and a
lot of furniture and sundries.
The Fanny BrandeiJ had 800 bales hay
and a lot of sundries. She returned to
Evansville about u o'clock, with a pretty
good cargo, consisting of 25 bales cotton,
5000 bushels peanuts, together with dried
fruit and sundries.
The John Lumsden, new Cumberland
river packet, was successfully launched at
Louisville yesterday.
The Talisman received last evening
fifteen bales Of es!ton at 81 80 per hun
dred TO New York, to be shipped from
Cairo by the Blue Line This is the first
shipment of the season by this route, and
the rate makes it equivalent to all rail.
The Tyrone is due on Monday, and is
the regular packet for Cairo on Tuesday.
The alert, formerly an upper Cumber-
land river packet, is now running between
Chattanooga and Loudon.
FROM OTHER PORTS.
The Cincinnati Gazette of Friday says:
The NashyilI Packet Company's steam
er, Robert Moore, will leave for points on
Cumberland river to-day, with all the
freight she wants. The Havana will ar
rive tomorrow, and be the next boat in
the line.
The St. Louis Democrat of Friday says:
The river having risen altogether here
seven feet nine inches, was stationary yes
terday. An immediate aud sudden de-
cline lie anticipated. There are no boats
aground below. The Belle Memphis had
seven feet water over Hat Island bar, and
the river was rising rapidly. Probably it
would be correct to say that there is four
and half feet water through to Keokuk,
three and half feet on the lower rapids,
and four and half in the Illinois to Peo-
ria The Missouri is high towards the
mouth. The reports circulated here on
Wednesday of rise at the ST. Joseph,
and ak feet of rise at Leavenworth, were
unlounded. The lower Illinois is quite
high, but at Peoria the swell has been
light. So far the swell at Keokuk has
been slow. Oaly forty inches water from
St Joseph to Omaha. Boats do not load
here nov for Omaha. Freights are scarce
for the Missouri, AID the last members of
the o line seemed yesterday on the point
Of Withdrawing.
1t is reported that Tom Singer is to take
the Last Chance into the trade between
this city and Clarksville.
The Dubuque Herald of Wednesday says:
A further increase Of two or three inches
was added to the channel yesterday, and
the stage Of water il now better than usual
at this season. Navigation will ciose on
full channel and slim business.
The leYse was cold and dreary yesterday,
aud freights light Packets are running
out of time, and are becoming uncertain
means Of transportation.
The Memphis appeal of Friday Gays:
The weather Is again noderaiiug, and
yesterday was warm almost "a before the
late cold snap. A heavy frost covered
roofs and fer ces in the morning, but 1t was
soon dissipated. The rise has hardly
reached this point as yet, but We may look
for it within the next thirty-six hours. The
UPPER Mississippi is swelling very rapidly,
aud serious fears are entertained of an over
hoR which will exceed that of last June,
should cold weather not set in with its
hand Of ice and cut it off. The OHIO is
filling to Cincinnati and Louisville, but is
still rising slowly below with about six
feet on the worst bars. The Arkansas is
falling with three feet to Pine Bluff and
thirty inches TO Little Rock.
