The Phantom did not go to the Wabash, as we were informed, but yesterday morning went into the dry dock just finished, and is the first boat that has tried the new institution. Everything worked well, the dock rising like a cork as she was pumped out...The Rose Hambleton, Citizen, and New York, all bad good , trips to Saint Louis .. The Pink Varble had a fair trip, and added a large lot of" corn here The Westmoreland was light. She had a splendid trip to Cairo, including the passengers from the steamer Prima Donna, which had broken a shaft, ten miles below Natchez, and criftf d ten miles before she could be landed.. The engines are a complete wreck, having run through herself. The shaft had broken on her downward trip, and been repaired at New Orleans. The Prima Donna will be towed, to: Cincinnati"......... The Tarascon was rather light and was making splendid time The Armada left with a pretty fair trip for Cairo, including the fishers and hunters we mentioned yesterday,, accompanied by John, who sat in a corner looking very demure .. .The Mystie had a large lot of freight for Mt. Vernon and proceeded to that town;..w:.The" Argosy had a, nice trip for Nashville.!... Remember the great Indiana will be here to-morrow for New Orleans, and the Liberty No. 2 to-day for Memphis In the collision case of the Golden Eagle and Mariner, near Memphis, the inspectors ' have found pilots G. W. Farnsworth and W. R. McCullough guilty of misconduct and neglect of duty suspending the former for sixty and the latter for thirty days. Boats Due. Among the first boats due here are the Caraelia and Havana, for Nashville; Iron City, Minneola, Leonora o. 2, and Bertha, for St. Louis; Alice Dean and Indiana, for Memphis; Amazon, Madison, Emerald, Melnotte, and Virginia, for New Orleans;' Prima Donna, from Ne Orleans; Charmer, from Cairo ; Clifton, from Memphis; J.

The swift and superb Morning Star, Cap tain Dallas, with Frank Banksmith, the Inimitable, In the office, also goes to Louisville this evening. For Memphis. The swift-winged Liberty No. 2, one of the most popular boats that runs the Lower Ohio, goes to Memphis to-day. .Captain Sam. Archer and Ed. Judge are two of Nature's noblemen, always genial and gentlemanly. They will see that passengers are made comfortable, ' For Bowling-Green. The elegant Wil- , Ham White, Captain A. Drinkwater, goes to Bowling-Green this evening. That popu- . lar young gentleman John Adams Is in the , office. , , ' ; Gleaning from Onr Exchanges. Cincinnati. The Commercial of Tuesday . says:. . ; ' ' The weather was cool and cloudy yesterday, with a steady drizzle all day, which commenced on Sunday evening. Our dis. patches indicate a general rise as far west as St. Louis, and at Cairo and Evansville, and Louisville, end as Jar east as rntsourg. we anticipate more water. At nttsourg, last night, the river was rising, with 9.' feet ill the channel. Here it Las swoolen ii 2 feet during tiie twenty-four hours ending last night, with eighteen feet hence to Louisville. V The eteamers announced tor New Orleans " agreed to load in turn yesterday, 'f his is a good move both for shippers and steamboat men, as merchandize will go forward with dispatch and more regularity. The Amazon resiiips her freight, over two hundred tuns, on the Emerald, enabling the latter to fill .up and leave for New Orleans to-morrow. The Nile also rewhipped 110 tuns on the Emerald. The Amazon will load for New : Orleans after the Emerald. LoTJ isv I LX.K The Courier of Tuesday says:' " : ' ; tj ':,- The river was rising last evening, with upward of eight feet water in the canal, by t he mark. In the morning it was falling, with seven feet eleven incites water in the canal. The weather has been disagreeable for near twenty-four hours, wit) very heavy rains Suaday nigbb and yesterday morning, accompanied with high winds and a chilly atmosphere, with fears of frost this morning. Just one year ago, Saturday, we had a fall of snow, followed Sunday morning by a black frost and ice. The river during that week attained a height of 22 feet iu the canal, a vast amount of rain having fallen throughout the month. On the falls last evening there were fully 8 feet water in the pass down the Indian chute, and the river rising. There was five ' feet steamboat water over the rocks, down : the chute, with the prospect, if the rain " -was general, of a coal-boat tide, and an abundance of water on the falls for all navigable purposes. ... The t'umber and river is again at hign tide and rising, with fears of a freshet. f Captain Liter's new boat, for the Green i River trade, started to Bowling Green last evening. She is named the -Mystie, not Myrtle, nor Mystic, but Mystie tie ty. We can't think why he named her the Mystie, excepting to mystify the printers in setting up the type and getting the name right. ',' ' - ' f' NEWS41.BAN. The; Ledger of Monday says: , ( Person al-Captain Wes. Conner bav-

ins resigned his position as Captain of the Mary Forsythe, is now on a visit to his family in this city. We hope soon to see Captain Conner in command of one of our elegant Lower Ohio Kiver packets. He is one among the most popular officers that ever run a boat between the falls of the Ohio and Memphis. The Mary Ament came in with her guards in the water full of freight and people. i : The Ella Faber had a big trip of freight and passengers from Evansville and the coast. St. Louis. The Democrat of Tuesday says: . The river has continued to rise slowly, although steadily, at this point, from the

time we left the wharf on Sunday evening, u""i same ume last evening; nea rise of three feet perpendicular would roll i5J up to the sidewalks in spaces of blocks in extent. Already yesterday the cellar of Messrs. Prather & Thompson's liquor store, anJ near, n the others on the wharf, had several inches of water in thein, and goods were being removed from these receptacles to dry places. The boats from above tell us of further heavy rains along the river. On Tuesday, Wednesday, and subsequent days of last week, the Upper Mississippi, from Lake Pepin all the way down, was rising, with Buef Slough Bar 12 feet-under water, 6 feet on the upper and 5 feet on the lower rapids; Illinois, very high already; was still rising, and the Missouri swell is not all yet here. We see in all this disaster, unless a sudden decline should occur, and there is no expectation of that. The working space on our wharf is now very ciru inscribed, and there promises to be no working tt all to-day or to-morrow. STEAMBOATS.
