AT dsybreak on Sunday we awoke to find our
flaming q as
rain before. The clouds seemed to be trying to
see how much water they could discharge in q
short space Of time, and II Pluvius " was not
satisfied, well we know that the inhabitants Of the
Crescent City were. About A. M. old Sol with
one fell swoop scattered the rain clouds to the
four Winds and, from that hour till its close, the
day was beautiful beyond description. Yesterday
morning not Q single cloud was visible, and the
glorious shone forth in all his regal splendor,
and his rays were rather courted than otherwise,
as the prevalence of stiff, northeast wind rem
dered them pleasant indeed to all upon the
streets.
AS is usual on Monday. business upon the land
ing yesterday was almost confined to discharging
Of the packets which reached port since Saturday
night; but as quite feet Of steamers are adver
tised to leave to-day, We expect stirring times
upon the landing.
From the Bulletin Of yesterday we copy the
following, and 10 Its concluding sentence say
Amen:
"STEAMBoAT TRANSFERRING. ]. W. Warren,
late chief clerk and part owner Of the Red River
packet Right Way, recently disposed Of bis inter.
est therein TO his former partners, Capt Noah
Scovell and Col. Hervey, who are now running
her in the connecting trade between Shreveport
and Upper Red River. In the interim Mr.: Warren
IL here attending to his health, already much i'm
proved by respite from business. and will, we
trust, coon be sufficiently restored to reenter the
service of our waters"
For many months past snake show stu
ated at the corner Of Canal and Front streets, has
been q perfect eye sore to all steamboatmen as
well as to parties whose avocations caused them
to visit the steamboat landing daily. Lately sew
eral, two that we know of respectable gentlemen
have been assaulted whilst quietly passing. this
concern, and to our knowledge, many an unsus-
pecting countryman has been feeced of his hard
earned money after being lured within its portals.

the eyes Of our steamboatmen, and yesterday,
many were the threats. not loud but deep, that we
heard muttered against It. But now It is num-
bered amongst the things of the past and has been
closed-we hope for ever. An order from the
mayor did the business. Yesterday evening, as
we passed that spot, we noticed change-the
moustached gentlemen, who formerly importuned
passers by TO walk In and see the double. headed
snake" and the wild animals from the jungles of
Asia and Africa, were nowhere to be seen, the
highly colored pictures that formerly adorned the
front of the place were hid from view. and no
longer did the melodous ~ notes of the hurdy
CUR dy or barrel organ greet our ears. There are
several other places in the immediate vicinity Of
the steamboat landing which require the attention
Of our mayor or the chief of police.
Remember that the Dora leaves positively for
Jefferson this evening At O'Clock.
