A DEFECTIVE Wharf.-The steamer Ala
balna landed at the Donaldsonville wharf
Sunday before last and consumed two hours
getting away again, owing to the heavy wind
blowing inshofe. The boat would have got
off sooner, but she collided with the wharf,
the shock causing seven bales of cotton
to topple overheard, and it took some time
to recover them. All the steamboatmen are
complaining of the new incline, which they
say is too narrow and at the wrong side of
the wharf. The expectation that it would
be an improvement on the old ramp
proved fallacy, and steps ought to be
taken to contruct another incline where the
old one was located. The wharf is one Of
our most important and valuable public in
stitutions, not only as source of revenue
to the town, but in its relation to our bust
ness interests, and we owe it to ourselves as
we'll as the steamboatmen to provide them
with good, safe and convenient landing
place,

informal invitations, though not sent out
until a short time before night, were &C.
copied with alacrity, and the spacious par
Tors we're comfortably filled with guests q.
an early hour. The occasion was replete
with enjoyment to oil present, and it waa
past midnight when the party broke up.
The Misses Andrews and their travelling
companions returned home on Wednesday,
no doubt we'll pleased with their visit. It
would be something extraordinary if any
guest Of the Mavor household should fail to
derive pleasure and enjoyment from q So
journ in our town.
