The business on the landing continued very brisk
during the day, and there was prospect that we
should have prosperous week.
Quite large number of citizens were on the
levee yesterday 10 witness the departure of the
boats, and considerable interest was manifested
by the crowd in the two Vicksburg packets-the
Gov. Allen and the Robt +. Lee-both going of in
the most splendid style.
We have received no further particulars of the
disaster to the steamer h. A. Homeyer than what
we published yesterday afternoon.

Pittsburg last MONTH arrived yesterday; the tow
boat Stella. having come in with several barges
laden with Pittsburg diamonds.

CLIPPINGS FROM OUR EXCHANGES.
LOUISVILLE, Jan. IO.--Owing TO the very high
stage Of the river and the strong and rising tide,
ice can not form either on the shores or on the
surface and no fears are entertained in this quar-
ter of an ice blockade at present.
The Nick LOngwOrth started to New Orleans
last evening from the upper wharf.
he Belle Lee goes tu New Orleans on Saturday
night. All the stateTOoms ia the ladies' caOn are
engaged for the trip. They are the largest and
most elegantly furnished rooms of any boat
MEMPHIS, Jan. 1.-THE river was rising stead
lily, yesterday, Notwithstanding cold weather, and
is nearly bank full below Cairo, above which point
Navigation is suspended, on account OF heavy
floating ice.
Arkansas river is low and falling. Nothing late
from the St. Francis. White river was falling,
with seven feet below Duvals Bluff, and three and
a half feet to IacksonpOrt.
There is very little business going on outside
from exports of cotton, for which rates are IN
prOfabiy low.
CNchNATI, Jan. lO.-Business was somewhat
more lively on the landing yesterday than on the
previous days of the week.
The rapid rise in the river at this pOint has been
checked, it having swelled but three feet IN the
twenty -four hours ending last evening
S e8mers from below report the current OF the
Ohio so strong as 10 make navigation up stream
very difficult Tor well laden boats.
VICKsBURG. Jan. H. Business az the wharf
boats was tOerably active. graduaidlminutiol
OF freights is becoming more and more percept'
ible, however, and in thiIty days from tbs time,
IL is not improbable that our first class packets
will be compelled to lay up. These are very dis
nal fOreshadOwngs.
SHREyEPoRT Jan. S.-Snce our last report the
river opposite this point has risen twen,y-t three
inches, and was last night rising at the rate OF
i've inches in tyenty-four hours. From all &C
counts from points above here, We are likely to
have still more water. The heavy SHOWS aud rains
which have fallen in that regisn will dOu0t give
US good low water navigation from this place TO
the mout of the river. The Lotus No. 2, which
turned back at Grand EcOre last week, arrived at
this place yesterday from the falls, with good
freight. From the lights before us we predict
that we will have good low water navigation in
few days, If not high water and big boats. JEFF
f1rsOn might as well look out Tor stranger 10
few days. Business on the levee very dull for the
last week.
