At 6 o'clock a. M., yesterday, the mercury stood at 38 above zero, and rose to 48 at noon, when it was clear. The river, daring the night, fell about 4 inches and by noon yesterday was at a stand, aod will probably be found rising to-day. The wind was from the south-southwest, driving ice,, which wan quite abundant, but very light and rather rotten, to the Indiana shore. Jf the weather continues "moderate there will be but little ice visible to-day ; The river is rising slow from Cincinnati to Park-er-iburg. - - - .r-ri vikl Kud Iprtaire. The arrivals and departures up to 3 o'clock yesterday, include the Ada Lyon, from Green River, to return. P. W. Stradtr, from Newburg; A. L. No. 1, from Green River; Newsboy, from Green River; Linton, from Clarksviile. Among the first bouts due here are the Delaware, For Nashville; Sham rock, for St. Louis; Sam. J. Hle, for Memphis; Darling, from Memphis; Jno. Kilgour, J no. II. Groebev-k, and Louisville, for New "Orleans; Armada, from Cairo; Alice ' V., Swallow, Atlantic, ' Westmoreland, and Belie Lee, from New Orlean ; Lewellin, from Eastport. - NlxellBiiit. . favorable for navigation and business. The wind blowing from the South drove all the " ice t upon this shore, and under, the genial influence cf the 6un and the mild atmosphere, it was growing smaller; by degrees and beautifully less, and will probably all tie gone by to-day The' Ada Lyon arrived from Green River yesterday morning, with a moderate , trip, the report that navigation in the Ohio was closed, which' had been circulated up Green River, having deterred shippers from sending forward freights The P. .W, Strader returned from Aikens' Landing and Newburgb, yesterday morning, having taken a considerable amount of " freight. Finding it irnpossir ble to. get all her freight aboard yesterday, the Strader will not leave till noon to-day. We are glad to see her getting a liberal patronage. J. P. Elliott & Co. ship a large quantity of bu'k pork by the Strader The Newsboy came out ;-.f her ice harbor in the mouth of Green River yesterday, and resumes her regular trips to Henderson, leaving daily at 3 o'clock. Capt. Sheffer and Willie Huston are rapidly making friends for the Newboy The officers of the St. Patrick, when they left here, announced thair purpose to lie over at Jlemphis till their regular day (Monday), and will, of course, rot be here to-day,. thus allowing the Mayflower to have a full "swing at Memphis to-day, in order that she may get back on time.". The Linton arrived before noon yesterday with a moderate trip, and went to Newburg. She will be at the wharf this morning reedy to receive for all poiuts on the Cumberland River, and should receive the undivided patronage of merchants and shippers. .... .'....The wind, by noon yesterday, bad settled into the southeast, and blew a stiff breeze, crowding the . ice into a narrow belt, not lOCyards wide, on the Indiana shore, and rotting it. till it was little hardei than slush. If this weather continues, the ice wiil all be gone by morning. Boat LfitTlHK To-Day. For Cairo. The fleet, high-headed Sam. Orr will leave for Cairo and all way landings at 4 o'clock to day, offering unexceptional accommodations to passengers and shippers. Capt. Billy Lowth and Guy Vinyard are her accomplished and popular officers. The gay and festive Cumberland will also go to Cairo at 4 o'clock today, and is finely appointed, and a regular rattler to run. Capt. Ben. Howard, Tom. Brasb.ear, and Bruce Hunter are her courteous and experienced officers. For New Orleans. The beautiful and magnificent P. W. Strader, commanded by that prince of steam-

boatmen, Captain. Albert Steia, will leave at 12 M., to-day for New Orleans, as a regular Evansville aod New Orleans packet. In elegance and speed she ia not surpassed on the Western waters by any boat ' of her class. Her passenger accommodations are truly magnificent. In her office will be found Captain Ames Fisher, famous for his experience, his urbanity, and general good nature. ,Geerge Fowler and BiUy Underwood are her pilots, and none better ever turned a wheel. We hope to see her receive a liberal patronage from our shippers. For Clarksville. The new and elegant steamer Linton, Captain NatDrew, is the regular packet for Clarksville and all Cumberland River way landings, at lour o'clock this evening. 31. B. Hayward is her obliging clerk. The Linton has splendid passenger appointments. For Eastport. The fine steamer Lewellin, Capt. -J. L. Davy, is the regular Eastport packet at four o'clock to-day, taking freight and passengers to all way landings. She has fine passenger accommodations and her officers are pleasant and obliging. W. D. Covington presides in her office. GlemtiniCK from unr ExehMitaen. Pittsburg. The Commercial of Wednesday says: - The heavy fall of Fnow made hauling difficult, yesterday, retarding shipments. r The bodies of three or four men, supposed to be from the wreck of the exploded Harry Dean, were reported washed ashore, Monday night, near the mouth of the Little Miami River. Two were supposed to be the bodies of Captain George W. Norton, of Ironton, Ohio, and Captain R. M. Biggs, of Ashland, Ky., for which a reward of $200 each . was offered by their friends. Parties in this city can easily recognize both, and the result of the Coroner's inquest will decide this melancholy matter. We have since learned that the report is doubtless incorrect, as the Coroner has no reliable information relative to the finding of the aforesaid bodies. V LOUISVILLE. The Courier of Wednesday says: . ' " ' On the falls last evening, 'there were three feet soven inches water in the pass down the Indian ehute, and the river falling very slowly and full of floating ice. - .. . At the foot of the falk. according to the marks on the lock walls, there were ten feet three inches water in the ehannel yesterday. - From the highest point attained on the late freshet, the river has receded about twenty-eight feet at Portland. Owing to the tripping of the der rick, Monday evening, one of the immense chimneys of the new steamer Frank Pargourd, which had been erected and was. ready to be set in place, was thrown down and broken. The damage was slight, but the delay vexatious. ; The Democrat says: The damage to Capt. Tobin's new packet, the Frank Pargourd, by the falling of a chimney, may reach $500. St. Louis. The . Democrat of Wednesday says: The river was stationary yesterday morning, and supposed to be swelling last evening slowly. Huge cakes of ice separated from the shores, and floated away to be seen no more. Otherwise there was no ice worthy of mention floating in the river, except a number of pieces of very dirty complexion, covered with nauseous offal, supposed to be from the vicinity of the slaughter houses on Horse Creek, a sweet-scented stream, which the health officers of St. Louis have heard of frequently. The weather was agreeably mild, with prognostications of more snow or a. rain fa'l. Matters at the landing, at the agents' offices, in the boat stores, and on the wharf-boats retain a quiet aspect, but there will be some exhibition of life to-morrow at the court house, where a whole steamboat paeket company property, afloat and ashore, will ba disposed of at auction.
