From the Cincinnati Enquirer, May l.:
"rhe event of the day yesterday was the arri-
| val OF the Thompson Dean from New Orleans,
and, although without any special effort and an
| ordinary business trip, she made better time
than has been made for the past twenty years.
She arrived here at 2 p. NJ, her time from port
| to port being 6 days and 10 hours. Coming up
she did big way business, having made gu land
| ngs, and was full OF passengers. She lost II
hours on the coast by fog and other delays, and
IA hours at the canal, on account OF the blockade
| by the coal boats. She came from Louisville in
II hours and 40 minutes, and coaled at Madison,
| and also made landing at Lawrenceburg.
Taking her lost time and landing out, and she
would have beaten the famous Duke OF Orleans
time from New Orleans. which, we believe the
Dean can do any time under favorable circum-
| stances. The Dean is without doubt the
fastest boat that has been in the trade
during the past twenty years, and We would like
to see her set the pegs for future reference be-
| fore the season is over. As far as appointments
are concerned the Dean has no rival on the river,
and her officers have ever been noted for their
courtesy and attention to their guests. Owing to
the detention in the canal, the Dean ia unable to
leave on the day first announced, and Capt. w.
B. Miller has set Wednesday as the time OF her
positive departure. He also notifies the public
that the Dean will extend her freight trip
through Eads jetties to the Gulf Of Mexico. The
travelling and shipping public can depend on the
Dean leaving as advertised, as one-half OF her
cabin is engaged for her return trip. and her
time of departure from New Orleans fixed. Her
patrons will find the accomplished John s.. Jones
In charge OF the office, assisted by Billy Wherry."
The Dean will make the ietty excursion Friday,
May 18th, and leave here for the Ohio the next
day. Rooms can be engaged and full information
obtained from her agents. Messrs. Wayne Will
lams, log Gravier street.
Finding that che could not be got ready in
time to leave to-morfo w, Capt. Rice has with
drawn the Ella Hughes. AS soon as her repairs
are finished, the Hughes will again be placed on
berth, due announcement OF which will be made
in the Democrat.
The Fra No. 10 again laid over. She leaves to-
morrow positively, at 5p. M. for Black and Bgui
rivers, through to Point Jefferson. Tom Taylor

The rattler Charles Morgan arrived from the
Ohio yesterday with fine trip and returns TO-
| host fail n IN n

A 1T, Louis paper says: Messrs. Mullen
Hoppins began painting the Grand Tower yester
day afternoon, and have orders to make her al
good as new. She is one of the fastest boats OF
the river and able to contest the right OF wa.
