The weather yesterday was but q repetition of
that which we have enjoyed for several days past,
clear skes, and the sun oppressvely warm.
There is little or nothing in the way Of business
doing upon the landing. Several boats arrived
with good trips yet but little freight was brought
down to the numerous packets advertised to leave
this evening.
News items are becoming very scarce. About
the only thing worth mentioning, which came
under our observation yesterday, was the arrest
of a couple of freedmen, who were caught in the
act of stealing few pounds Of scrap iron from
lot lying upon the levee at the foot of Custom
house street.
