Gated five feet and swelling. There
is over four feet on Glass House The
regular packets, however, will not re-
sumo operations, being too early in
the season.
A recent English improvement in
safety valves not only allows the
escape of steam when the limit of
pressure is reached, but when the
water in the boiler gets too low il
opens valve and floods the fires with
water.

LoUIsvILLE. ~ The Jornol Of
Wednesday says:
Captain Buffers new boat made a
trial trip yesterday, gOing up the river
as far rs Six milo Island. A heavy
wind was Blowing astern as she went
up, which cat of her draught some
a quality which she has not enough 20
spare. Tic consequence was that she
didn't make much steam, and there
fore didn't run fast. But, on the
back trip, running in the face OF the
wind stirred her fires and she came
down at the rate OF eight miles per
hour, all her machinery working adj
mirably. The Trade Palace-i0r that
is her name--is a screw propelietl
with thirty feet beam, length over all
one hundred and hity-slX ieet anu
deDth of hold five and One-lialt feet.
She was built by the Howard Broth
Srs. of Jacksonville, and her model
is almost perfect.
ST.. LoU1s.-The Democrat Of Wed
nesday says:
River rising slowly yesterday, but
from what source was unknown. Six
faet water to Cairo Slowly on the
rise at Keokuk and Dubuque. Lower
Missouri falling, and upper stntiOr-
airy. Illinois unchanged. The Lower
Ohio is improving rapidly, and there
will be large water below Cairo.
FREIGHT rather scarce for the Ohio,
and the Maggie Hays is temporarily
laid up, but the LEM Leoti Is an
nounced as loading for CINCINNATI;
River business generally is fair and
imnrovino Passengers are numerous
between this port aud Keokuk. The
accident to the Iiuminary may neces-
state her losing one trip. We take
: opportunity Of expressing our
;, e regret at this accident. II IS
