The Leroy is no longer an opposi.

Wheeling and Parkersburg. Upon the
withdrawal of the Argand from that

between the two ports, Tuesday, Thurs.
day and Saturday, so that she is now
in opposition to the Matamoras packet,
Lexington. By the way, the Leroy is
one of the fastest boats on the upper

from Marietta to Waverly, in which
the Ben Hur was forced to take SECOND
position. n.-Intelligencer.
