''After the storm cometh the calm,h 1--WE wish
our readers to pronounce this cam, as we have no
reference to bivalves.) Yesterday was glorious
day not a cloud fecked the blue expanse above
us from morn till eve and at this writing the sen
tinel stars are doing their duty much more vigil
snty than do our renowned ~ metropolitan
police.
Owing to the Indictment weather day before yes
terday, and the consequent inability Of shippers
and buyers to complete their freights, the Jefer
son packet Lizzie Hopkins and the Grand Ecore
packet Frolic did not get of yesterday the latter
leaves at noon and the former at P. NJ. to-day.
There has been no visible change in the river at
this point since our last.
TIE officers of the Wild wagner have our
thanks for favors.
Business was not over brisk upon the landing
yesterday.
"Misfortunes never come singly." Yesterday
morning we were nearly run over by truck pro
PEELED by two American citizens OF African de-
scent. few minutes afterwards, another African
carrying bar Of iron On board of a steamer,
caused the bar to come IN contact with our crani-
nm, and after escaping unhurt, we were then
taken, being in company with Mr.. H., for Qua
chita river pilot. AS we said in the beginning,
misfOrtuDes never come singly.
P. S.-We would not have written the above
had not s. II. defed us to do SO.

RIcHMoND.-What recollections this name
brings to us! The very mention Of it recalls
scenes dear TO memory, fraught as they were with
bloodshed and defeat but tits not OF Richmond on
the james, but of the Richmond on the Mississippi
that we would speak. In point of speed the
Richmond has but few equals-and in regard 10
accommodations no boat afoat can compete with
her; her staterooms large, fully equal In fact
10 the rooms of any hotel in the country, and her
larder 10 always stocked with the best that our
markets afford, and when we have said this for 1t
all has been said, that is, Oh about her fare, now
