The Palestine, Louisville and re-
turn, was the only addition to our
port list, up to late hour last night.
She had light freight, but a very
good passenger trip.........The Mary
Miller, for Cairo, and Pine Bluff. for
Grandview, departed. after which
every thing was painfully quiet on the
wharf, the Palestine having it all to
herself......We notice that the heavy
food of water that rushed out of
Sycamore Street sewer, on Thursday,
has washed up a portion of the rock
in the sluiee- e-way, leading from the
mouth of the sewer to the river. This
could have been prevented had the
city authorities observed the wise
maxim, "a stitch in time saves nine"
When the river first fell below the
mouth of the sewer this season,
two or three rock, only, had yielded
to the pressure, and two men could
have remedied the defect in a couple
of hours. It was neglected, and now
it will cost considerable time and
mooey. and if not attended to at once
the trouble and expense will be in
creased. Two years ago a like negli-
gence occurred, and it cost the tax
payers hundreds of dollars. We
hope the present damage will be
repaired at once.........Our fellow cit
izan. Cant. Dan. Weaver, the distin-
guished Cincinnati and New Orleans
pilot. called upon us last night. He
left the Lorena at Louisville, and
comes to visit his family and friends.
He is in fine spirits and good health.
He expects the Lorena here the last
of next week.......Our advices from
above, indicate rise here OF 10 ln-
considerable magnitude. In addition
to coal boat rise, in both the ALE
gheny and MonoDgahela, sudden
rise of eighteen feet in the Kanawha,
was pouring out great flood OF wa
ter, filled with fence rails, timber,
brush, and drift of all sorts......Sev-
eral boats are announced to leave CIn-
cinnati on the rise, as the falls will De
navigable within two or three days
....,..The Sam. j. Hale delays her
departure from Louisville till this
evening. and will be here to morrow
...... Capt. A. T. Gilmore and family
are at Long Branch. They leave IN
few days for Boston, Portland and
Nova Scotia. Judge Baker
had not arrived at midnight, and the
Idlewild bad not been heard from.
She arrived at Cairo late Thursday
night........-The Kate Putnam, from
st. Louis to Louisville, arrived fat
midnight, with a good trip on herself
and barge. She discharged ten tons
of pig iron here. Her pilots report
three feet eight inches on Walkers
Bar.
Boats Leaving on SUNDAY.
