Tuesday Morning. March IL. ls5S J
The weather during Sunday was clear and
warm, rather too much so for those who. like
ourselves. were compelled to be exposed to the
rays of the sun.
Yesterday opened warm and cloudy, leading
| every one TO expect at least one heavy shower
before noon, yet in this case, in thousands Of
| others, their expectations were doomed TO disap.
| pointment. strong southwest gale came up
| about O'Clock A. NJ, 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 mp freights were concerned, considerable
| activity however was observable, caused by the
dischsrging of the numerous steamers which ar.
| rived since our 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 eaders per
bsps 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 Ia the first boat of
| the kind ever built. We know Of at least three
| steamers, which run regular packets on the
Mississippi prior to the late war. that had double
cabins, viz Nayfower. John Simonds and Crys-
| tai Palace.
THE Gov. ALLEN.-By reference 10 our adver-
tsiDg columns it viii be seen that this unrivaled
| passenger packet has changed her days of depart
| ure from Monday to Thursday, at P. NJ, COM
| mencing on Thursday next, 18th inst, extending
| her trips to Napoleon, connecting at Nicksburg
with Yszoo, Tallahstehie and sunhower rivers,
and at Napoleon with Arkansas river packets,
giving through bills OF lading on the above
streams. She takes the place of the Gen. Quit.
man, butIremains under command of her original,
| well known and popular officers: W. B. Richard
son, captain; J. I. Hall, Ed. L. Shaw aud Henry
| Audry, clerks.
Captain Patterson, of the Cleons. informs us
that Il rained every day, whilst he out on his
last trip. We sincerely wish that the captain had
been able to bring good shower down with him.
| II would have. been more than welcome TO our
dust-deuged (if We may be allowed the express
| sioD) levee at this time
The A. @. Brown, Captain Bassett, arrived late
| Saturday night from the lower coast, and left st
10 A. NJ. Sunday for New River lsnding-over 30
miles above the city-with q good freight. She
returned last evening At o'clock, and will leave
st noon to-day for all landings on lower coast,
going as far as Fort Jackson. The enterprise Of
