Tuesday Morning. March II. lsoa !
The weather during Sunday was clear aud
| warm, rather too much for those who, like
ourselves. were compelled to be exposed to the
| rays of the sun.
Yesterday opened warm and cloudy, lesding
| every one to expect at least one heavy shower
before noon, yet in this case, as in thousands Of
others, their expectations were doomed TO disap-
| pointment. strong southwest gale came up
| about 8 O'Clock A. n, dispensing the rain clouds,
and substituting clouds of binding dust. Despite
| the wind the day was extremely warm, regular
| June day in regard to heat.
| Business on the landing was extremely dull as
| far as up freights were concerned. considerable
activity however was observable, caused by the
dscharging of the numerous steamers which ar
| rived since cur last issue.
Among the arrivals on Sunday we observed the
| steamer Republic, from Mobile. She is certainly
| worthy of q visit, as many of our re aders per-
| haps have never seen steamboat with two
cabins. She is what may well be termed two
story steamboat. Speaking Of this reminds US
that one Of our Camp street contemporaries is in
error when he states that she Is the first boat of
the kind ever built. We know of at least three
| steamers, which run as regular packets on the
Mississippi prior to the late war; that had double
cabins, viz Nayfower. John Simonds and Crys-
| tai Palace.

that It rained every day. whilst he was out on his
last trip. We sincerely wish that the captain had
been able to bring good shower down with him.
