i WEATHER, BUSINESS, ETC.
The weather yesterday was all the mos
fastidious could ask for; the sky was clear
the wind merely Of bracing nature, and
the san just hot enough at MONDAY to make
it's effect pleasant and agreeable.
Business was not overly brisk still Il fail
sprinkling of it found its way to our load
ing steamers, and it is to be hoped that ii
will revive sufficiently to-day to give the
departing boats good cargoes and send them
all away happy.

Our exclusive Memphis correspondent,
whose services we have secured at great ex-
pense, to benefit our readers and merchants,
favors us with another one of his interesting
letters, the principal feature of which, it
will be observed, is the correct cargo list
of the John Kyle, from st. Louis for this
port. These letters will be regular, as, also,
will they contain the list Of all the steam
ers' cargoes that pass Memphis for this port,
and we are satisfied that our merchants will,
Or at least, should, appreciate our efforts in
their behalf

Business at the river was almost totally
suspended to-day in consequence of the
rain which set in at O'clock last night, and
came down i'll torrents until the same hour
this morning, causing sudden uprising Of
the bayou aud all the small streams in this
vicinity aud why shouldn't it when the
water fall was one and a quarter inches
toi the square footf 1t extended east also,
and learn, has caused big swell in the
Cumberland and Tennessee, which if it does
not check the rise here altogether will pre-
vent very rapid decline for some days.
The skies cleared up some during the day,
but long before dark the clouds gathered
again, aud SO did the water and the gather
