The weather yesterday Tor rather the clerk OF
the same continued at his old freaks with show
ers and sunshine during the forepart of the day,
and promises during the afternoon. We have had
large share of the same kind nov for the last
ten days in this village. Muddy levee and streets
are now as much out of order as the previously
complained of drouth, with high winds and dust
on the great steamboat landing and the unpsved
streets Of the city.
The leyee during the day wore rather dull ap-
pearsnce, but on the whole a fair business was
transacted for the season Of year.
There was quite number of arrivals. amongst
which was the Frank Pargoud from st. Louis with
a full load.
The Wild Wagner, Captain Richardson, from
Natchez with her usual fair trip of passengers
and freight. She leaves again this evening at
O'Clock.
The Anna wagley. Captain Burton, from Wash
ington, with As bales OF cotton and other pro-
duce: The Wagley is OF again at 5 o'clock this
evening.
The regular coast packet Grey Eagle, Capt.
Baranco, from Bayou Sara. She heads up stream
again TO day at 10 o'clock A. M.
The Flicker. Capt. Aucoin, from Thibodeaux.
The Ruth, Capt. Pegram, from st. Louis.
The punctual Trenton and Monroe packet
Cleona, Capt l.. II. Patterson, was in yesterday
up to time, and shippers can crowd down
their freight early to-day, for she is of again at
O'Clock this evening.
The following packets are due to day:
New Era, Capt Dugas. from Bayou Sara.

Lafourche.

Kenison is her clerk.
At o'clock this evening the regular weekly
packet Cleons, Capt. L. H. Patterson, will leave
for all landings on Black and Ouachita rivers as
high up as Monroe and Trenton. Mr.. J. W. Wal
den, clever, courteous young gentleman, has
charge of her Office. In fact, the whole crew of
the Cleons, from Capt. Patterson down, are
thorough steamboatmen, and, withal, gentlemen
with whom it is a decided pleasure either to
travel or transact business.
The departures yesterday were as follows: The
Gov. Allen, Captain White, for Greenville and
Vicksburg A. G. Brown, Capt Bassett. for the
Lower Coast; Mttie Stephens, Capt Kellogg,
for Jefferson; Indiana, for Louisville; Lizzie

We are again under obligations to Mr.. ]. W.
Walden, the popular clerk of the steamer CleOna,
for favors. Also to Mr.. j. G.. Libsno, of the
Wild Wagner, for his continued courtesies TO this
office.
We learn by the st. Louis Republican, of the
llth, that the Arthur arrived in ST. Louis on the
10th, and that the Pauline Carroll left on the
same day for New Orleans. The Republican
says:
1.-THE past week has noticed a most singular but
siness, which, during the earlier part Of the week
was extremely dull, closed with very lively
show of activity and freights of all descriptions
were unusually plentiful. In the Missouri river
there has as yet been no marked falling of. and
boats continue to receive full cargoes and in
many cases have TO refuse freight. This circum-
stance is in part owing to the immense quantities
of lumber that are being shipped up this season,
and from present appearances there is no evil
dence that there will be any material falling of.
The decline in the river is to say the least of it,
very slow at this point, and most unusual phe-
nomenon at this season of the year. Here it is
the middle of July, with an abundance Of water in
the channels of the Mississippi and its tributaries;
this is not often the case.
alt is understood that the City OF Alton will be
placed in the New Orleans trade, under command
of one of the most popular and competent cap
tains on the river. The Minnesota an unrivaled
packet, left yesterday for st. Paul with most
excellent trip, especially of passengers, Of which
she had literally a cabin full, every stateroom
being filed. OF these passengers at least sixty
were ladies. The late sale of the steamer Missis
sippi is still attracting attention, and it is now
stated suthortatively that Capt. Nat. Green, John
N. BOfDger, Dan. Able and Theo. Lavelle are the
purchasers, each having a one-fOurth interest
The Commonwealth, one of the prettest steamers
aflost, is the boat for New Orleans on Wednesday
next, Capt. VIM. Comfy has charge, with Joe
Lloyd in the Office"
