clerk.
The week has made bad start 80 far as the
weather is concerned. Rain yesterday morning,
clouds and sunshine the balance of the day, with
shower in the evening. On the whole. . very
| St. Louis was well represented in tonnage,
there being at the landing the Bee, Yaeger and
Belle of Shreveport.
The Yaeger took what sugar was Offering, put

The Bee was to get off last night.

| by the Bismarck tomorrow.
! The Civ Of Alton is due tomorrow, and is to

/ The Bayou Pierre and Cane River packet Car
RE A. Thorn, with the wellknown Charley Thorn
! in command, will return Saturday.

very. good. The Durf-e will certainly go.
Capt. L. Il. Muggab, of that good and reliable
boat Ida, received mysteriousy sealed package
just before his boat left, which considerably ex-
cited the curiosity of the bystandsrs as to lis
contents. 1t has TRANSFERRED since that it was a
to che effect that as His Majesty Rex held in high
regard bis loyal subjects OF the Teche country,
he expected the captain Ito whom he promised
promotionj to afford every facility to the many
who wished to come to his capital to render him
homage on his annual visit. We are informed
that the gallant and loyal captain Immediately
| returned answer that as many as would come ON
the Ida should be welcome, and would be treated
right royalty by his officers, and that the fare
(which was q mere matter of form) would be
fixed at the exceeding low price OF $40 for the
round trip.
At Memphis, the Avalanche says ssThe Bee
added barge loaded with 200 tons Of oil cake
and 1000 bales OF compressed cotton, the latter
taken at 60c per bale, aud to be delivered along
side the English ship Harmon. at New Orleans,
and destined to Liverpool. Compressed cotton
has been carried by some Of the packets from
here to New Orleans during the past season as
low as 40c per bale, and uncompressed or large
bales is even only TIC per bale. If this isn't
low enough, it ought to be. Between 1900 and
5000 bales of foreign bound cotton are now
almost ready for shipment from this port, and it
is bone OF contention among the agents who
shall have it."
The Continental and Washington Artillery
parade do-day. Go and see how the marines
who belong to these companies, acquit them
selves.
The river yesterday showed $40 feet below
high water mark, rise Of 2-1O inches in the past
forty eight hours.
Capt. Joe Daleferes who is an old hand at the
business, is determined not to be backward in
coming forward on the occasion of his Majestys
visit, and mas arranged most enjoyable tr p for
those who take passage on his new and fine As
sumption. He will leave Laurel Valley Sunday
at P NJ, Napoleonviile Monday at A. M, and
