The river is falling very slowly and navigation continues good for medium classed boats. There has been a slight rise at Cincinnati, but it will not efTcct the river here. Arrival! Mid Departure. The arrivals and departures up to three o'clock on Saturday include the Phantom, Cairo to return; Golden Eagle, Memphis to Cincinnati; Tarascon, Louisville; Newsboy, Henderson to return ; A. Baker, Nashville. Boats Due. Among the first boats due here are the J. R.

McCombs, from Louisville ; Armada, from Cairo; Silver Cloud, for New Orleans; Sam Orr, for Eastport; Nagutuck and Abeona for Memphis; J. P. Webb and Advance from Cumberland river. If ineellnneona. Tilings were quiet on the wharf Saturday forenoon The Golden Eagle discharged 75 or 100 bales of cotton here for Merritt's Express, and had a slim trip for Cincinnati The Phantom had a fair trip up Saturday morning, including 30 hhds of tobacco and considerable other freight and a good passenger list The Tarascon had a nice packet trip both ways The Newsboy had a good trip from Henderson. The Baker was gathering up a considerable quant ty of freight, and left Saturday evening for the Cumberland Col. Gutherie, Supervisory Inspector for this District, was in the city, stopping ;at the Sherwood House. He is en route to Memphis The wreck of the Gen. Lytle is being cleared of debris, and her hull which is perfectly sound, will be taken to Cincinnati. The bodies of numerous additional victims have been found. Speculations in regard to the cause of the explosion, continues to occupy the public mind at Louisville, Midison and Cincinnati. Most all repudiate the idea of the Lytle being racing when she blew up. Her engineer, Miller, was an experienced man, and was formerly engineer on the Telegraph No. 3. Boats Leaving To-Day. For Cairo. The elegant Charmer, the queen of the stern-wheelers, goes to Cairo at two o'clock to-day. She hem superior passenger accommodations, and Captain Billy Lowth, Billy Fowler, and George Nichelson are extremely attentive and popular. For Louisville. The ever-reliable J. T. McCombs, Captain Ed. Crider, with that highly courteous and pleasant gentleman Miles D. Warren in the office; leaves for Louisville at nine o'clock this a.m.. She is first-class in all particulars. Gleanings from Our Exchange. Cincinnati. The Commercial of Friday says: The weather yesterday was clear and cool, with the mercury at 70 degrees. At Pittsburg the river Is falling with VI inches in the channel. The Kanawha is falling, with three feet in the channel. Here, the river has risen two inches during the East twenty-four hours. There is 4Vj feet etween here and Louisville, with 21 inches in the pass overthe falls. The fine Maysville packet Bostona No. 3, Captain Pres. Lodwick, caught fire on Wednesday evening, one mile below Maysville, by the upsetting on deck of a coal-oil lamp, and burned to the water's edge. No lives wert lost. The report that a daughter of Martin Marshall, of Maysville, was lost, is not correct. The Bostona No. 3 was owned by David Gibson & Co., of this city. Captain Pres. Lodwick and Messrs. Moore, of Portsmouth, and was valued at 8100,000. She was insured in the following offices in this city, for 85,000 each : Buckeye, Magnolia, Central, Union, Western, Commercial, Eureka, Ohio Valley, Lafayette, Boatmen's and Hamilton, and in the Germania and City Insurance Companies for ?-',500 each, making a total of StiO.000. The Emma Floyd left for Maysville yesterday in her place, in charge of the crew of the Bostona No. 3, excepting Captain Lodwick, who is at the wreck. The owners of the Bostona will Immediately commence building another Jtoat to take the place of the one burned, and which will be completed by the 1st of December. The heavy storm on Wednesday evening fave considerable trouble to the boats, he Pine Grove sprung a ieak, and was obliged to return to port. The Nora took all of her passengers and cargo. The Pine Grove left the wharf yesterday for the docks, where she will be fully repaired. The Abeona will hereafter ply as a regular packet between this city and Memphis. Louisville. The Courier, of Friday, says: The river was about stationary, yesterday, with 3 feet 8 inches water in the canal in the evening by the mark. During the ftrevious 24 hours It had not varied an nch in the channel depth either at the head of the falls or at Portland. The weather was cool and bracing last evening, and cool all day, the thermometer ranging at 75 In the shade. During the night previous a very heavy rain had fallen, which, together with the rain the day before, has checked the river from falling. On the falls last evening there were 20 Inches water In the pass down the Indian chute and the river at a stand. The late rain has not extended to Pittsburg, and the river at that point Is hopelessly low. The Democrat of Thursday says: The Spray was sold at Pittsburg, Monday, for $8,000. She was worth S,000, and was nearly new. . The Dan Able made a trial trip day before yesterday, and worked like a charm. She is at Portland, fitting her cabin out. She leaves next Monday. The Palestine did not leave for Memphis yesterday. We do not know, but it Is a bad beginning for a boat to undertake to build up a trade, and lay over the first

trip. She win leave nexi wee. The People's Line steamers advertise to leave Louisville hereafter at 11 A. m.. Instead of 12 x. This will be an excellent arrangement, and prevent racing. Suddkn Death. A man, named Miles Lausfler, died oi chills on board the steamer Mary Swan, near Leavenworth, Ind., last trip. He was from Vernon, Jennings County, Ind and was buried at Mauckport. His effects may be found at Capt. B. J. Craffrey's office, on Fourth Street, be tween Main ana me river. St. Louis. The Democrat of Friday says : The swell of three feet, and perhaps six feet, at St. Paul, head of Mississippi navigation, with additional intelligence of a simultaneous rise at Dubuque, inspires the trade with renewed life. It Is probable that Wisconsin, Black, Chippewa, and even Rock River, are up, and the result Is not unlikely to be five feet of water on the

liwer rapids, and six feet above that to St. 1'aul, allowing the Northern Line boats to go and come through without delay. Wo near of no improvement in the Illinois, but expect a swell from Lasaits all the way down. The last boat up found only seven feet above Cairo. All freights. to New Orleans advanced materially yesterday, which was expected, and is just. Freights abundant for New Orleans. Full cargo engaged yesterday for a boat not arrived, at the increased rates. The Clara Dolson, to leave to-day, refused freights all yesterday. The David White is also loading for New Orleans, and getting all she wants. The M issourl River is as good as we ever Raw it at this time of the year. Weather pleasant, by reason of a steady north wind. Capt. Frank Wilkerson, pilot between Memphis and Vicksburg, died yesterday morning in this city after about thirty-six hours illness, ot what we understand was pronounced congest ion. Captain Wllkerson was from Hickman, Ky., and was about twenty-four years old. New Orleans. The Timet of Tuesday says: Since our last there has been no perceptible change in the weather, It being very close, with a slight breeze at Intervals. Business on the levee was about as dull as could be expected, while the departures and arrivals were of a small scale. We are pained to learn of the death of James H. Dunlap, one of the clerks of the steamer Kenton, which occurred at Carondelet on Wednesday evening, forty-eight hours after the boat left this -port. Deceased was a brother of the commander of the boat, and bore an excellent character. His home was in Bridgewater, Pennsylvania. The Kenton is still lying at Carondelet, but will probably resume her trip in a day or two to the Ohio. We deeply sympathize with the relations of the deceased on their bereavement. Memphis. The Appeal of Wednesday says : The weather was quite warm yesterday, but at no time during the day did the mercury rise above 90; but the dust upon the levee, together with the heat, made it anything but a pleasant place to while away an hour. Business was tolerably brisk, and the boats leaving managed to pick up very fair trips. The river has fallen ten Inches since our last report, and is still falling rapidly. TRANSPORTATION.
