Here the river has fallen five inches sine,

The WIN. White, captain Northern, clerk
Jas. Beverly is now running regularly be-
tween this city and Palucah, leaving Cairo
every evening at clock, and Paducah every
morning at o'clock, with the exception of
Sunday. The White has received new out
At of furniture, &c, in her cabin, and is in
splendid order throughout. We hope she
will be literally patronizcd.
Capt. J. b. Archer will be here Tomorrow
evening in command Of the City Of Alton,
bound for Vicksburg. The great popularity
of Capt. Archer viii ensure success TO the
Alton in her new trade.
Capt Tom Harmon, Of the steamer Tyrone
armed himself yesterday before leaving Cairo
with seven reviewers, three cavalry sabrcs,
and huge columtiad, intending to go for
some river editor of Paducah who had started
the base SANDER that captain Tom was about
to quit the river and go into the insurance
business. There is nothing better calculated
10 get captain Toms mad 10 boiling heat
than an insinuation that he could possibly
turn his back upon his old and fire, loyc--the
rver-and go into any other business. He
would not even condcscend 20 open gold
mine, unless it could DO opened large enough
to run steamboat into il.
The Memphis sun says; THE once lu-
crative Memphis and New Orleans trade is
extinct The great facilities for cheap re.
shipment of Southern freight furnished by
the wharfboat and railroad warehouse sys-
tenn at Cairo has caused ali freight which is
brought out by Memphis packets for points be-
low that city to be reshipped here. The
Magenta will next trip extend her trip TO
Cairo and already the Mollc Able and Mis-
sissippi, both iirst-class steamers, make Cairo
the terminus of their trips What We need
now is a greater number Of good, small
boats TO bring out freight for New Orleans
from points above Cairo, to be rcshpped on
on these Cairo and New Orleans packets.
