RIVER AND WEATHER.

ARRIVED.
Robert Moore, Cincinnati.
Robert Moore, Cincinnati.
Talisman, Cairo.
The river has fallen inches since our re-
port of yesterday and is declining slowly.
The Robert Moore, from Cincinnati, ar
rived yesterday with a heavy freight, and
departed in the evening with a fair return
trip.
The Talisman cleared for Cairo near 8
o'clock, with a good freight and a number
of passengers.
The C0urier-J0urRal of yesterday says
that the river at that place has commenced
to recede, and has fallen about inches.
with "a feet inches in the canal and 81
feet inches in the chute. There is not
space enough under the bridge for steam
ers to pass. vet there is sufficient water to
admit the largest sized boats passing up
the canal and through the draw. What
little dry space there is left on the levee
was literally crammed with men, women
and children yesterday to see what was to
be seen. Business was very good cOnsid-
ering the high stage of the water. Weather
clear and pleasant.
The Tarascon, on her last trip, ran from
Henderson to Evansville in 81 minutes, the
best time ever made between those points.
Between Henderson and Evansville, it Is
reported that large number of horses and
mules have been lost. The water was so
cold that the poor animals persisted in very
short time after getting into it. The loss
along the Ohio will be immense.
The Memphis appeal, of the 10Th, says:
''EX-President Jefferson Davis visited the
levee yesterday, and went OIL. board of sew
eral of our local packets. Few among that
noisy crowd recognized In the quiet, unob-
trusive gentleman, the man who once gov
erned nation, and who yet lives in their
hearts with undying affection
A telegram from the steamer Rose Hite
to the CotHier-J0IrHal, dated Jan. 90,
says:
All the Ohio from Louisville to Evans
vile is under water-the bridges sub
merged, the towns in great danger and the
citizens preparing for the emergency.
There will be many fields of corn ruined
or carried away The fields and meadows
are q sheet of water. The towns on the
river are now surrounded by water, with
prospect of being in the first stories Of
the houses. The distress is great.
The same paper says that scan. mag. and !
Grim con. were put off the steamer Taras- !
con at Evansville the other day for 9 in !

California All this has at first blush an
unfavorable look, but it must be remenl-
bered that there is now very active de-
mand for the British market, which was
not the case last year. 1t is true that we
have to contend with competition from the
Black Sea and the Baltic, as well as other
regions, but if English buyers did not con-
slider present existing prices the bottom of
the market, it is hardly probable they
would buy our wheat as freely as they are
now doing The spring shipments from
the Black Sea do not reach England until
about the 1st of June, before which time
the stocks in England will be reduced.

another party living at Springfield, in

when the gentleman hastily fired but miss
