Miscellaneous.
The chief activity on the levee yes
terday morning was in the vicinity of
the Alice v, which, having arrived
at 3 An, remained most all day load
ing. She took an enormous amount
of freight, and left nearly fat on the
water. The Alice v. is great steam
boat, and her officers never fail to get
her full. Capt. Keyt, T. G. Cunning
ham, Ben. B. Taylor, and Capt Con-
way commend themselves to shippers
by their extreme courtesy and dispo-
sition to oblige.........The Quickstep
was receiving a good packet
trip..............The Ollie Sullivan
came in early yesterday morning
with two thousand sacks of corn......
The Louisa transferred 1000 sacks of
corn to the Messengers barge, to be
towed to Cincinnati or Parkersburg
by the Messenger, which was hourly
expected.........The Goldfnch was at
the wharf, but her prospects were
gloomy in the extreme, and Captain
Karr was rather discouraged The
fact is. there is not business on the
Cumberland for three boats, and we
can see but little chance for a new
boat to make any money in the trade.
1.-THE Morning Star arrived at l
o'clock with good trip......The Nick
LOngworth came In at half-past one
with about half q load.
