is advertised 10 leave Cairo for Memphis, Vicks-
burg and New Orleans, on the 18th inst. immedi-
ately after the arrival OF the railroad trains from

siderable freight yesterday, including 500 0bls. Of

From the Cincinnati Gazette, 10th inst
" Business was not brisk yesterday. but con-
siderable New Orleans freight was shipped, aud q

From Memphis Avalanche August Goth. " The
following is a description OF the immense boat

eet craft ever built for river navigation in the Uni
ted States, her dimensions being follows:
Length over all, 365 feet; length Of keel, $50
feet; bresdth over all, l07; breadth of beam 63
feet; depth of hold l3 feet. She is to be low

of immense power to correspond with her size
cylinders over eighty inches. The style of the
boat Is novel and beautiful. the draught having
been made by Captain d. DsHaven, who is to
command her. The famous Eclipse will be eclipsed

about three feet The weather yesterday
was delighnul-the rain Of the night before making
