skv and old Helios did bis level best-Jlst treo,
In fact 10 see how disagreeable he could make
the steamboat landing, which locality Is beyond
doubt the wsrmest place in town. II the CLERK OF
the weather would favor US with q good naro
shaver we would In common with thousands OF
others tepder him vote of thanks. The dust Is
becoming intolersbly thick on our river grade.
By Q clip of the pen we were MADE 70 say 10
our last ssue that the Cleona would leave this CITY
for Trenton and Monroe every Tuesday evening ct
O'Clock. We hasten to correct the error. ppe
will continue 10 leave ss advertised: every "ea-
nesdsy evening at O'Clock.

tanned frsm leaving yesterday, has deferred her
departure TO Friday, 9Th inst., at p. NJ.

Bayou Sara, and Nina SHINES, from Lsfourche.
The Steamboat Captains Association elected
officers TO serve during the ensuing year on Tues

us with list of the successful aspirants, we refer
our readers 20 one Of our contemporaries, whose
reporter evidently had " friends at court"
No change in the river before the city since our
last.

FROM OUR EXCHANGES.
The Cincinnati Gazette of June LIST, says:
| The weather was excessively warm Saturday
| and Sunday. Business has been so dull the past
| week as scarcely 10 be worthy paragraph. Judg-
ing by the amount Of river transportation, Clncia-
| natl is not selling goods to the former extent.
Whether other cities are doing better business Is
| an open question. The river fell two and hall
| feet 10 the forty eight hours preceding O'Clock
last evening when there were fifteen feet water in
the channel, and eightyseven feet space unoer
| the suspension bridge. New Orleans steamer,
partially advertised. received scarcely any freight
during the same three days, at rates not more than
| five cents above those to Memphis. The West
| moreland arrived about midnight Saturday, from
NewEOrleaDs. She will probably commence to
| reload Immediately"
From the st. Louis Republican, June l:
The weather yesterday left nothing for the most
fastdious to desire. being in every sense OF the
word most delightful. Arrivals were of regular
packets only, although several of the steamers
were past due, and will, doubtless, be found al
the landing at an early hour to day. Csyt j. d.
Peppars mammoth steamer for the St. Louis and
New Orleans trade, will be launched from Handle
toms boat yard, at Cincinnati, some time this
week. The new boat is described as perfect
monster. The Dubuque Herald of Saturday says;
The weather is clear and pleasant; freghts quiet
| river receding at the rate of three inches in q
hours. The Great Republic is the next boat II
the Compromise line, but If the rule that so fal
held good of allowing a discrimination OF rate
of freight in favor of the bsrges. there is no tel
ling when she will get load, but certainly no
by Tuesday evening" and we suggest that " barg
rates be the motto.
The ST. Nicholas, Capt. Dowty, from Gram
Ecore; Vicksburg. Capt Blanks, from Trenton
Gen. Quitmsn. from Vicksburg, and ldahoe, from
Camden are due to-day.
