PITTsBURG. - The Commercial Of
Friday says:
Business along the wharf was not
very active; the weather, however, was
very unfavorab Bile for out door trade.
The rain that set in during the fore
noon continued without intermission.
/ This made the wharf in q wretched
condition for the handling Of freight.
CINCINNATI - The Commercial of
Saturday says:
Capt. E. e. Bowers will command
the Robt, Burns in the picnic trade
during the season.
LoUIsyILLE.--The Courier Of Sat
urday says
The Wananita, on her late trip to
Omaha, struck log, breaking about
thirty-f five floor timbers, which neces-
STATED a trip to Sebastian's dock for
repairs.
A steamboat arrived at Leaven-
worth this week, and was deserted by
several of the crew who had engaged
at st. Louis for the round trip. The
Captain refused to pay them unless
they would return. and suit was
brought against the boat The United
States Commissioner decided against
the boat, as the Captain had no con-
tract with the men IN writing.
ST. LOUIS. - The Democrat Of
! Saturday says:
The latest advices are Of swelling
rivers. The Illinois is rising at the
rate Of one inch per hour TIE lower
Missouri and tributaries are on the
rise, and the upper Mississippi is be-
lieved 20 be {" booming. Here the
swell was very little yesterday, but the
prospect is good for a rapid rise Of
several feet. Good water through the
Summer in the upper rivers is very
we'll assured.
Downward bound boats to this
port get good freights in the Missouri.
but only moderate offerings 10 the
upper Mississippi and Illinois. The
farmers are greatly set back by the
bad condition OF the roads and the
heavy rains. The brilliant new
steamer Belle of Alton makes her
trial trip this morning, and will leave
this afternoon on her first trip to
Alton. She is the finest boat that
has ever been in the trade, and viii
be the fastest, if she beats the Al-o-
mas fast run many years ago.
MEMPHIS. - The AUdlaache of
Wednesday says: =
Charley Schultz, Esq, late chief
clerk Of the Indiana, passed Down on
Monday on the Belle Lee en- route to
Texas to wind up his land specula-
tons 10 that section. We wish him a
pleasant and safe journey, and a
speedy return Mr.. Schultz has, BY
his integrity and prompt attention to
business, made many friends on the
river, who join Us in swishing hin
we'll He is a gentleman of sterling
character, and is noted for his gener-
osity. If business improves during
the Summer, with prospects of good
crops 10 the South, me designs build
ing a suitable steamer for the Louis
vile and New Orleans trade.
The Appeal of Friday says:
The Darling, we are happy to say,
left last night for Cincinnati. The
whole day long the noise of her cal
Hope was heard all over our city, and
we now call upon the City Council to
abate this nuisance altogether By ordi-
nance. The internal clatter made by
such affairs as that on the Darling
should be put an end to, especially
when it is persisted in to the great
annoyance OF our people.
What sensitive nerves the river
man Of the appeal must be afflicted
with!
