SATURDAY MORNING, March 10, 1871.

WEATHER, BUSINESS. ETC.-Iesterday
was a most lovely day, and fully com
pensated by its brightness and mildness all
the ills Of the preceding week: A good,
clear day is a blessing, and in this change
able climate is a yOdscnd. Though the usual
routine of lreland's patron saints day, is
supposed to be damp and gloomy, yesterday
proved an entire exception. The delayed
arrivals came in on their excuses; some
looked dilapidatcd, having chimncys broken;
some looked as though they met with an
exasperated creditor, and others looked like
Bret Harte's famous "Luck Of Roaring
Camp"
Among the most noticeable arrivals were
the John T. Moore, from Jefferson, with n
fine trip; Olive Branch, from st. Louis fully
laden; Marcella, from Siaarkey's Landing.
with q good trip of cotton; Natehez, with
full 5000 bales. The Arkansas, from Fort
Smith, got in during the day. Shippers can.
We suppose, depend ON her departure dur
ing the next few days.
The departures were the Katie, with
light trip to Vicksburg, yet running well;
Wade Hampton, for Fort Adams, running
light, yot with wonderful speed, and
McComas, with his independent packet,
the Lotawanna, running slow and sure.
The amount of business that is transacted
on the wharf at the present day can not bnt
show all necessary conclusive evidence to
our merchants that by their enervatiOn
they are losing the sap Of trade; 9th erwise
that of the tributary rivers. Red and
Ouachita, have been weaned from New Or
leans as gently and thOughtfully as
young mother would wean her first born.
The merchants of New Orleans have al
lowed this to be so; and now they are reap
ing the benefits Of their ill-regulated sys-
tenn. We need a few more Independent
steamers in the tributary trade, and less
organizations particularly in the Red and
Ouachita rivers.
The late mail from the North and West
had not arrived up to . late hour last eve
ming, and consequently our miscellaneous
news Is meagre. The following dispatches
weEereceivea this forenoon:

tom, but the mention which we make Of the
Belfast we sincerely believe. She is swift.
staunch and comfortable, and that is all
that is requisite. She leaves from the foot
OF Poydras street.

strosity, but one OF the best built and best
regulated steamers afioat, the Henry T..
