THE WEATHER.--The elements combined In o
feeble attempt yesterday to make things here
abouts - disagreeable as possible. The day was
cloudy, very close and shoWery one. Besides
che attraction that the departure Of such boat
% the Grand Republic always presents, q num-
Der of people were on the landing to see the
Plymouth OIL. She was to have passed BY the
city with all Of her sails set, but unfortunately
the weather interfered with that part Of the pro-
gramme.
Business yesterday was moderately active,
hardly mp TO the average, although there were
several good trips leaving.
Capt. Gus Hodge laid the Bastrop over to
Tuesday. She will surely leave then for Camden
and ell way points on the Black and Ouachita.
The Grand Republic got off promptly on time
for the Jetties, with goodly number aboard.
She leaves again this morning promptly at 8
o'clock, returning tonight, and leaving to-mor-
row at 8 p. m, for Memphis, Cairo and IT. Louis.
Besides being new steamboat, the Republic liz
