| MISCELLANEOUS.
Loss OF TIE BRlLL.-In going into the
new canal during storm at Louisville
last night, the steamer Brill, on her way
to Pittsburg, struck the unfinished wall
below the lock, and sunk, the water be-
ing up to her hurricane She was valued
at $4,000, and insured for $4,000, in
equal amaunts, in the Eureka and Citi
zens' of Pittsburg and Boatmens Com
pany Of Pittsburg, and was owned by
har Captain, NJ. A. Cox. The chmneys
fell overheard, when she careened. Her
cargo consisted of iron, cotton and
everything else. The boat lies in such a
position as to block up the passage OF
the canal. Steamers can take the falls
at this stage of the water, and when the
river declines the boat can be raised.

nate. Yesterday morGing the stern

was three feet over her deck. She was
on her way from Rob Roy bar to Little
Rock with the freight taken from here |
by the George W. Cheek (some two or
three hundred tons), and sunk scan after
striking. Nearly all Of her freight was
that brought heSe some time since from
st. Louis, and is doubtless insured there.

insured. She was built in Cincinnati in
1869 by John Woodbprn tor her present
owners, and her loss just now will be
felt severely. Major Adams last night
