RIVER News.

The river at this point for the twenty
four hours ending yesterday evening rose
two inches, and was still swelling slowly at
dark. Weather cold and cloudy, threaten
ing snow.
The steamer George 5. Kinney arrived
yesterday from Dozier's Landing, with a
tow.
Our packets are in complete readiness for
the approaching season, and will enter the
trade upon sufficient rise in our river.
Capt. r. W. Wise was looked for in Lou
isyille on Tuesday night to commence load
ing the Emma Floyd for Nashville.
We clip the following paragraphs from
the Louisville Ledger of yesterday:
There was last evening, feet 5 inches
water at the head of the canal, and about
20 inches on the falls in the Indiana Chute.
Teleqraphic adviCes from Cincinnati yester-
day afternoon are to the effect that there
was ] / feet inches water in the channel at
that point, and that the feet Of tOwboats
and harges from Pittsburg are arriving. At
Pittsburg the river was stationary, with )
feet ) inches in the channel. Ii Was the
opinion that the rise would reach this point
last night, and we presume the river will be
swelling rapidly to-day. The weather is
raw and cold, with no indications of rain.
Business in river circles brisk.
OPENING OF THE CANAL.-The canal,
which was closed on the 21st day of July
last, and which has been since that time
undergoing important improvements, is
again ready for the uses of navigation. At
ten o'clock last night the wickets were
opened, and the water commenced flowing
into the canal, and this morning we presume
it is full, and ready to admit steamers and
other water craft.

FerOcious Assault upon a Child.

For some days past two little Italian boys,
who have lately arrived here, have been
making music about the streets and saloons
of the city, with harp and violin. While
these children, one apparently Il and the
other years old, were yesterday afternoon
on North Summer street near Line, they
were accosted by brutal negro named Dick
Hadley, who asked them in a very rude
manner to play tune. The youngest boy
replied that they would for dime. This
greatly incensed Hadley, who violently as
saulted the youngest child, knocking down
and kicking him about the head and neck.
The screams of the terrified children at
tracted to the spot a number of citizens,
who instantly seized the desperate monster
Hadley and conveyed him to police head
quarters. He was at first disposed to
resist, saying that no man not an
officer could arrest him, but finally
yielded upsn being quietly assured that
there was no other alternative. He was
sent to the workhOuse, and will probably
to-day be arraigned on the charge of at
tempting to commit murder. The wound
ed child was promptly cared for, being con-
veyed to physicians Office for surgical at
tention The worst hurt was q deep cash
in the neck, which bled profusely, supposed
to have been made by the metal toe or heel
of the RegrO's boot. The unfortunate little
boy was suffering considerably at o'clock
last night, but the physician does not think
the injuries serious enough to endanger
life

Nashville Onera House.

"Ruy Bias" was presented last night in a
brilliant and fascinating manner. Mr.. G.
Harry Franck improves each evening, and
last night had more enthused force in his
artistic demeanor than on any previous Oc-
casion. Mrs. Grey retained her impressive
style of interesting dignity, while Mrs.
Davidson was excellent as ever in the cha
racter of an artless being of the soft sex,
and readily makes us believe "women are
such silly creatures" while BrydOn, the de-
termined man, cOmically illustrates his
opinion that 4" Heaven makes men but the
devil makes the women
Tonight there will be a benefit for the
house, and tomorrow night Mr.. w. +.
Turk takes benefit. We hope to see a
crowded house, not only for the attractive
merits of the play, the Streets of New
York, to be presented, but also as a token
Of generous public appreciation of the
commendable efforts of Mr.. Turk in reno
waiting and placing the Theatre building in
order. Much money has been expended by
him in this enterprise, which should be
supported by our citizens.

HOrse News.

As to the probability of there being an
international race here next season between
Harry Bassett and the English horse Ster-
ling, Col. McDaniels, owner of Bassett, says
that an international race viii undoubtedly
take place on this course, but that Sterling
would not be the horse named by the Eng
fish parties. Negotiations are now being
made between the different parties, and it
is probable that the arrangements for this
race will be closed in a short time.
Harry Bassett, the horse that is to take
part in the race, came near meeting with
lis death few days since on the Baltimore
and Wilmington railroad, but escaped with
a few trivial bruises.
w. F. BabcOck, Of New York, arrived
in Louisville on Monday evening last, with
lot of his celebrated horses, including the
the famous Helmbold that beat Longfellow;
Gibraltar, Conductor, Nellie Ransom, and
a splendid looking two-year cid FLY, full
sister to Nellie Ransom. Although he had
been eight days on the journey, his horses
were in fine condition. He left Tuesday
for New Orleans.
