CINCINNATI. - The Commercial of

The large side-wheel steamer st.

terday, and went in the dock for re-
pairs. She enters the Cincinnati and
Pittsburg trade as a regular weekly
packet, leaving Cincinnati every Sun
day morning, under command of Capt.

first trip Sunday morning.
The Alice Dean was toWed over to
the levee yesterday. and follows the
Groesbeck to New Orleans. She will

rata, with Messrs. N. B. Fowler and
Andy Wilson in the Office.
Local Inspectors, Hiram Young
and Joseph A. Armstrong, of Wheel
ing, have made their report In the
Harry Dean explosion case. They
conclude the explosion was the result
of Engineer Chamberlin,s inattention
to his duties ia suffering the water to
become too seant In the boiler, and
suspend him for one year from the
date Of the occurrence, Jan. 3, 1863.

President of City Council, and Capt.
E. K. Bowers, Democratic candidate
for City Clerk, were defeated.

gene? We sympathise.
LOUIsvILLE.-The Courier ofTues-
day says:
On the falls last evening there
were FIVE feet water in the pass, down
the Indian chute, and slowly swelling.
The Wild Duck and barges, from
New Orleans, and the St. Mary's,
from the GLOVER Ohio, arrived yester-
day, bouHd for upper ports. The
Duck worked her way through the
canal last evening, and the St. Marys
landed at Portland. She is too big
for the canal locks.
The clipper packet, st. Charles,
Sunday afternoon, at 3 o'clock, achiev-
ed the very difficult feat of ascending
the falls through the Indian chute.
She was under the guidance of Capt.
Pink Varble, who brought her up.
and around the turn of the Big Eddy,
without stopping, most difficult feat,
and the first time boat as long as
the st. Charles had ever assembled the
falls on the stage Of water. There
were but four feet eight inches water
in the chute, and this feat is another
feather in the plume of the indomita-
bic Pink Varble.
The Pine Grove, from Cincinnati,
bound for Nashville, had a narrow
escape Sunday evening from being
wrecked on the falls. She descended
the Indian chute about four o'clock
in the evening, drawing nearly five
feet water, though the captain re-
ported that she was drawing but four
and half feet. Falls pilot Captain
Pink Varble, however, had charge of
the helm, and although the b at rub s
bed the reef pretty hard, and touched
Ruble's rock, she went over safely
and unhurt.
We learn that Captain Karr sold
yesterday, at Evansville, a One-half
interest in the steamer Goldfnch, to
parties in Evansville, who will run
her in the Cumberland River trade.
Captain Karr has not yet learned
that any part of the Goldfnch has
been sold here or elsewhere.
