The funeral Of the late Captain Ed
mund Hoel was largely attended yes
terday, the remains being deposited
in Spring Grove. The flags of the
steamers at the levee were displayed
at half-mast during the day, in respect
to the memory Of the deceased.
On Monday last the tow-boat Sam
Brown ran into the bank at Aliens
Landing, below Fredonia, in the
Lower Ohio, sinking three of her
loaded coal barges.
Captain III. w. Hart is loading the
Lawrence for st. Louis again. She
is now receiving 100 tons from the
New State.
LoUIsYILLE.-The Courier, of Sat
urday, says:
THE BELLE LEE.-The peerless
Belle Lee arrived last evening withsa
splendid trip of passengers and
freight. From the memorandum pub
lished below it will be seen that she
is sustaining her reputation for speed,
and that a magnificent boat like her
will do a good business in spite Of
the dull times.
The John KilgOur has abandoned
her trip and will lay up for a few days
The Belle Tee will take her freight
and also that received for the Louis
vile.
The Legal Tender will follow the
Belle Lee to New Orleans, leaving
this port Tuesday.
The Princess made the trip from
ST. Louis to Fort Smith, on the Ar
kansas, and back in fourteen days
running time. Total distance there
and back, 2,4O0 miles.
1t was not only dull business day,
but a dull Friday. Nearly the usual
number of boats arrived with good
cargoes. but the departures were few
In number, only ten altogether The
scene at the wharf will be lively to-
day There will be departures Of
heavy trips for all points, including a
too unusual spectacle, one steamer for 4
the Arkansas. We are satisfied that
fears of a further rise Of the rivers at
present may be dismissed The river
is falling here, and we think those
above are all on the decline The
weather is clear, and likely to con-
.tlnue so long enough to allow Of a
considerable decline IN the rivers.
We learn from Captain Cartwright,
of the Clara, that the snagboat De
Russeyiis doing valuable work Ia the
Missouri On the way down he miss
ed several old settlers, which have
menaced the steamers for long time.
The De Russey was in the act of ex-
tracing big fellow in Spring House
or Weston Bend This snag was very
formidable, being four feet in dame
ter and sixty feet long.
MEMPHIS. : The AUalaache, Of
Thursday, says:
The Frank Pargoud cleared for
New Orleans with slim trip. and we
much fear she viii have to withdraw 4
from the trade on account of dull /
times. The Pargeud will continue in
the trade if our merchants will make /
an effort to sustain her and ship their /
freights on her instead of on through /
boats. The Belle Lee will enter the |
trade in connection with the Pargoud /
In September, and will run on SEIZED i
ule time.
