r 90 CAUTION TO srEANBoAThEs.
For weeks past Q systemized plan Of robbery
has been carried on upon the steamboat landing.
The nlodus operdndi is this: Some sharper goes
on board . steamer and looks ct her manifest OF

csse of this kind occurred yesterday. An

when the box was put OF they pounced upon the
party who had taken 1t 10 charge, and box, drsy-
man and the pretended owner we're taken 70 the
lock up. OF course the driver was not to blame
at ell in the matter. We would In conclusion
advise our steamboat men In future to refrain
from placing upon their manifest Q list of their

never be able to ascertain the names Of the con-
signees. y

FROM OUR ExcHAsaEs.
The Louisville Courier Journal, OF the 9th in
slant, says: III
The tow boat Collier arrived from Pittsburg yes,
terday with q tow of coal for the Mary Alice. The
latter will arrive here to-day and will take tow
of coal to New Orleans. The towboat Grand
Lake, from Pittsburg with tow of 100000 bush
els Of coal for New Orleans, passed down ysster;
Company for $4,000. barge containing 1900
barrels Of oil in bulk arriy ed from Kanawha yes
terdsy. The low pressure Richmond will arrive
that port al 5P. M. tomorrow. The P. W. stadet
will take her departure for New Orleans at noon
to-day from the city wharf. The Indiana left fof
New Orleans yesterday with q moderate trip OF
freight and people. Ffeights for New Orleans are
getting scarce. The amount Of coal shipped out
| OF the various pools of the Monongabela sackA
water during March was Z, 497 200 bushels.
We received last night . copy of the Richmond
| Head Light, published OF Memphis, April 6thS
| from which we make the following extracts:
The Richmond did not get away from New Or
leans till 10 O'Clock Saturday night. owing to the
Immense amount Of freight to be discharged
nevertheless quite crowd was collected to see
the hour. By the by, we noticed among the
assemblsge two or three of New Oresus's best
| detectives, who appeared very much Interested
| ure. No doubt they were only seeing" that
| everything event on all right" or perhaps some
| wicked person has been and gone and did /"
something awful, and knowing the capaciousness
| of the Richmond, was attempting to stow himself
| away in her in order to I" fee from the wrath to
| come" Who knows?
Judge Broughton. the father of Mr.. Ed. Brough-
ton, who is one of the popular clerks on the Belle
Lee, was the greatest sufferer by the destructive
fire at Rodney, Miss. His loss beyond insurance
will doubtless reach $50, 900.
