WEATHER, BUSINESS, ETC. - Yesterday
seemed altogether guilty day-one of thai
kind where the sun hides a wicked face be
hlnd an almost impenetrable mask OF
clouds. 4heday was not free of rudeness
OF weather, and some rain fell.
Business was uniformly dull, and the ar
rivals were confined to a few, and the de-
partures were likewise few in number. The
Katie came in with fair trip. The other
arrivals consisted. of regular packets The
| departures were the Belfast for Cincinnati,
with line trip of freight; the Bannock
| City, Tor the lower coast, had good trip

None OF the boats are willing to risk a trip
to New Orleans at the present rates, and
unless better rates are established we will
have no boat for New Orleans on Monday.
1t is probable the Sam J. Hale will be the
next Memphis packet. The new boat built
for the Cincinnati and Portsmouth Packet
Company, was launched yesterday, and
dropped down to Ludlow street to be com
Uletpu. We understand that por+;ae bono
are negotiating for the Shamrock. Work
on the new wharfboat of the East Kentucky
Railway Company is nearly completed.
Wash Bercaw has taken the place of David
Mcclure on the General Lytle for few
trips. The latter gentleman, we are sorry
to say is slightly under the weather"

It's, 81 each landing; Elk Batteau. fifty
ents each landing; coal boats. 81 50 each |
anding; sand and rock boats, fifty cents
ach landing; wood boats, fifty cents each

We get the following from the Memphis
lppedt: Mr.. kehOe, OI st. Louis. at the time
t the sale of the Des Arc, made by Messrs.
Waits IL Co. five years ago, claimed one
bird interest of the Des Arc, and notified
lessrs ElliOtts, the purchasers of said
teamer, that he still owned onethird of the
eamer, and held them responsible for the
lme. Messrs. Elliotts procured an indem- =
lty bond OF Messrs. Waits Il Co. for their
lfety. Mr.. kehoe sued for his interest in
he boat. and the case has been carried to
sveral courts. Finally decision has been
wen, which gives Mr.. Kehoe one-third of
he boat, valued at the time of the sale. and
le-third of the profits from that date to |
lie time she ceased running. Thus Mr.. Ke-
Dc will get quite nice little sum, as it is
I'D during the pending of the suit the Des
re made near $4,000. A good investment
