There was a regular dearth of bust
ness on the levee yesterday, and the
steamboatmen, wharf boatmen and
draymen, or. indeed. any other man,
can see the " fair business of which
we read....,.....There were but three
arrivals up to noon, and receipts were
extremely light........A good deal of
freight was being hauled down to the
Sam. Orr, giving her the prospect Of
good trip out...,...."The Charmer
arrived at IL O'Clock yesterday with
her guards in the water. She had a

been previously removed having been
erroneous. But the prospects of her
getting off we're not fattering, as the

on board is flying light, what could be
said ofone with nothing on boards
