Miscellaneous.
Yesterday was the pleasantest
weather we have experienced for .
month"; regular Spring like day
overcoats, after noon, being readily
dispensed with. There were but few
arrivals, and business on the levee
was not especially brisk. The
Argonaut arrived from Memphis at
midnight Tuesday, and after dis
charging over 300 bales cotton pro-
ceeded to Louisville.........The Ada
Lyon had good trip in. She broke
her shaft near South Carrolton, and
tore out one head of one of her cyl
inders. The shaft was broken short
off in the follower, on the larboard
side, and the follower was also broken.
She came down with the use of one
engine, but made all her landings and
attended to her regular business.
The Ollie Sullivan takes her place,
and was to leave last evening, with
the crew of the Ada Lyon. The
shaft will be mended here by Schultze.
Thurman & CO., of the Mechanics
Foundry......".The Stella, which has
been lying here several days patching
one of her boilers, steamed off up the
river yesterday in fine STYLE.
Atlantic transferred all her freight to
one barge, and took the empty one to
a corn pile a few miles below
the city, and, after returning, took
the other to the mouth of Green
River to transfer the freight to the
Michigan and barges, by which it will
go above.........The j. r. Hoyle came
in at one o'clock from Green River,
with a slim trip. She expected to
leave again last night.........The May
flower was receiving quite literally,
having brought large orders to be
filed by our merchants, who were
kept busy getting the goods ready. We
are glad to see our merchants and
shippers disposed to stand by our own
packets. 1t is the true policy if
we would build up a heavy trade with
the South. A significant and sensi-
BILE article relating to this subject.
clipped from the river columns of the
Louisville Democrat of Tuesday, will
be found on the 8th page of the
JOURNAL this morning.........The Ar
mada was getting good trip, as she
always does. She is deservedly a
great favorite in the trade,........The
Laurel Hill had not returned from
the corn pile at two o'clock yester-
day, and it is hardly probable that
she will get away until some time to-
