Tuesday Morning. July IA. 1853. !
Considering that 1t was Monday which usually
il a very dull day upon the steamboat landing,
we can say that business was brisk yesterday.
There we're two coast and three Red river packets
receiving at the lower landing, and the Gov. Allen
and Indiana at the upper wharf. All seemed to
be receiving little, and one or two great deal.
The weather was rather Understanding US of
womsn-it was mixture of cloud and sunshine,
smiles and tears. The forenoon was oppressvely
warm. About noon heavy southeast wind came
up, and for an hour it blew perfect gale. At
o'clock the clouds closed zen mssse," and q
drenching rain fell for threequsrters Of an hour.
The members of the Black Crook brigade were
quite demonstrstive yesterday, especially upon
the lower landing. We saw and heard of no less
than four set tos. One negro was foolish enough
to try and break the head of another colored gen.
tleman ~ with brick /; the missile proved too
soft however, sad although 1t reached its mark,
it had no apparent effect upon him. The police
were not on hand, consequently nosarrests were
made. They probably feared the wrath OF the
"powers that be" as the distur0ers OF the peace
10 have had white skins the recorder of the
Second District would have had several cases on
hand this morning. .
A locomotive with several freight cars attached
made two trips up the levee yesterday to the new
depot of the Pontchartrsin Railroad Company,
situate on the levee foot of Julia street.
We received an invitation several days ago, and
which we inadvertently omitted to acknowledge
at the time, from Messrs. II. S. Bsyley, Frank
Martin and others, of the New Orleans, Opeleusas
and Great Western Railroad, to attend railroad
psnic which takes place to-day. Lafourche
crossipgis, we understand, the place selected,
and, from what we have heard, IL promises TO be
a pleasant affair. We shall endesvor to be on
hand, and in our next issue will let our readers
know how we enjoyed ourselves.
The arrivals yesterday were as follows:
Towboat Shark and four barges, from Sc. Louis.
Gov. Allen. Captain White, from Greenville.
J, G.. Blackford, from Washington.
The Grey Eagle, Capt. Baranco, from Bayou
Annie wagIey, Capt Burton. from Washington,
and Frank Psrgoud, from st. Louis, had not made
their appearance at the wharf up to dark last
evening. They will be found there this morning
ready to receive for their return trips.
The gallant little Cleons, with her jolly crew."
will arrive this morning, and leave again for
Trenton and Monroe at O'Clock P. NJ. tomorrow.
The Ruth, from st. Louis, is due 10 day.
The regular semi.weekly hatcher packet Wild
Wsgoner, Capt Richardson, will be found at the
wharf this morning. She returns tomorrow at
SPIN.
Isfourche, left last evening with good trip.
The Bismarck for St. Louis and New Era, for
Bayou Sara, were the only other departures.
The lightning packet Lizzie Hopkins, Capt. Jno.
T. Roots leaves positively at p N, TO day for JEFF
ferson, Shreveport and all landings intermediate.
Can't Roots has fair prospects of good trip, and
we hope to have the pleasure OF informing the
readers Of the CRESCENT IN our next issue that
the Hopkins backed out with loaded guards and a
CABIN full of people. Capt. Roots by his energy
and fine business qualifications has met with un-
bounded success. and even those who dislike him,
and they are few and far between are forced to
admit that he richly merits il.
g. Bassett, leaves az noon to day, going as usual
TO the Forts Mr.. Oliver Canton, courteous
gentleman, will be found in charge Of her Office.
The fine side-wheel passenger packet Mittie
II allA QufR hnA
voidably detained, leaves positively at 5 P. NJ.
TO-DAY for Shreveport, Jefferson and all inter
mediate landings. Mr.. b. r. Eppler, her CHIEF
clerk, though young steamAostman. has earned
for himself reputation which some men who nave
been clerks upon the river for years may well
envy In the discharge Of his duties be Is assisted
by Mr. Charles Gpin, q courteous young gentle
man, one, in fact, with whom It will be found
real pleasure either to travel or transact
business.
The Bee and barges hence arrived st. Louis on
the 10th inst.
From the Louisville Courier, July 18th:
There Is no perceptible change 70 note IN ths
stage Of the river at this point, LAST evening the
marks indicated -four feet water 10 the canal, two
feet water In the chute, and one foot water owe
the rocks. Weather warm and sultry, with indi
cations Of storm at dark. There were no ar
rivals departures yesterday outside Of the loca
packets, and but little business was transacted
Matters in river circles were unusually dull evel
for these dull times. The Portland bar has be
come very troublesome, and the channel change
rapidly. Less than four feet water is reported Il
the chsnnel. In addition to the boats reporte
above, the New Albany ferryboats were agroun
there for some time yesterday morning"
From the Cincinnati Gazette, July IL:
sDuring the first twelve hours after the time 0
our last report the river rose an inch here, but
the next twelve hours, ending at o'clock lai
evening, II declined again three inches, leayin
seven feet uine inches water in the channel. Tn
report OF the local inspectors in reference to th
explosion Of the Magnolia last March, shows q
absence Of water in the middle boiler, and also a
intense degree Of heat under it. The larbosr
and starboard boilers presented remarkably goo
