Special advices by telegraph from St.
Louis yesterday stated that the river had
risen Is feet up to Tuesday night, and that

The situation at Cincinnati is thus given
by the Commercial, of Tuesday morning; "At
the public landing the steamers between the

layed in departing. The packets for points
above did not risk passage under the New
port bridge, and landed at the Little Miami
crafts are moored close up to the houses,
into whose secondstory windows it would
be an easy matter to step. Below the foot of
Main street the stages OF the Jones & Mccoy
big wharfboat swing on a level with the
second-story window-sills. At all local
points thus Jar heard from the various kinds
of floating craft are safely fastened, and the
damage to lumber, coaIpiles and other
freight discharged from barges is compare
lively light, owing to precautions taken
Sunday. All the stores in the bottom have
been bUsily engaged in moving property out
OF the cellars since Saturday night"
