MISCELLANEOUS.
1t would be well worth the while of
any of our citizens to take walk out
upon the bluffs to-day and look at the
thirteen steamers that are at the land
ing receiving and discharging freight,
and that, although not half discharged,
have already filed and almost blocked
the landing with freight, which is being
hauled away as fast as the dray force of
the city can move it. We will give the
arrivals and their cargoes in substance
as follows; The Idlewild, from Evans
vile, with 500 tons, including 1904 sacks
of corn from the banks below Cairo, las
bales of hay, $50 barrels of whisky,
$50 barrels of -four and meal,
100000 shingles, 632 barrels potatoes,
and any amount of light freight the
Emma Elliott, with 700 tons, nearly half
out, and comprising $500 packages; the
St. Francis, with Alb bales cotton, 1850
sacks of seed, and reshipped II bales
cotton for New Orleans; the Henry Pro-
basco from Cincinnati, with 500 tons,
including 48O sacks bran, 800 barrels po-
tatoes and large amount of assorted
freight; the Dexter, from st. Louis, with
1900 tons for points below, and loaded
to the guards; the Pink Varble, from

manifest five yards in length, and foot
ing up 700 tons, including zoe sacks of
corn, added below Cairo, 5000 sacks
grain in all, 5000 bbls. -four, 1000 pieces
bulk meat, nearly all of which is for G.
W. Goyer & Co., and a miscellaneous
lot that would of itself fill the elevator
from top to bottom. The Colorado,
from St. Louis to Vicksburg, is also
loaded fat, but has not much to go out
here. This will make in round numbers
nearly 5000 tons of freight, to be dis
charged here to-day.
The Wharfmaster, in an advertise
ment elsewhere, warns steamboatmen to
keep sharp lookout, in coming to the
landing, for the wrecks Of the R. P.
Walt and Laura laying just above the
foot of Jefferson street. The wheel of
the Walt is just visible above water now
and will be out of sight in the morning
The Grand Tower at the elevator,
Belle Memphis, Colorado and Emma
Elliott at the levee, made a very fair
showing for the Anchor Line to day.

terday, and given a hydrostatic test of
200 pounds by our Inspectors, Clark and
