Miscellaneous.
Business was ordinarily fair on the
wharf yesterday. There were no out
side arrivals up to 3 p. M..........The
I1lewild arrived at AM, and the
Mary Miller at AN, from Cairo,
the latter pretty light in consequence
of the Sam. Orr and Idlewild coming
up ahead Of her.........The Florence
Lee was receiving literally aud would
have out magnificent trip.........The
Mary Miller, Ranking in against a
coal barge, broke out a number of
her larboard outriggers. which were
being replaced yesterday.................
The Fayette's business is now chief 7
confined to passengers, of whom shG
carries a large number daily both
ways. Her business will soon open
up, as the Fall trade sets in............
Humphrey & Lewis have painted
their wharf boat inside and out, and
she looks real handsome........W Work
has commenced on the new boats
being built by Capt. Ryman for the
machinery of the Alpha, and by Capt.
Scott for The machinery of the Lew
ellin, making three new boats now
being built here, in addition to the
hull just launched for Capt. Hutche-
sons new towboat.........Cept. SCOTS
new boat will be 145 feet long. 30 feet
beam, AZ feet bold in the clear. She
will have two boilers, with 12.inch
cylinders, and Al feet stroke. Her
cabin will be full length, and judging
from past experience, we have no
doubt she will prove the handsom-
est and best boat ever built here, as
Capt. Scott has had large experience
in boat building, and has spent a vast
sum Of money in such enterprises in
this city. The hull will be built by
Bart. Lehmans, who is noted for his
excellent workmanship......Capt A. I.
Gilmore will be in command of the
famous Morning Star to-day, and will
be pleased to see all his friends
aboard.........There arc now no boats
aground below in the Ohio River.

........The Morning Star will not be
laid up as long as there is sufficient
water for her to run.
