The river here continues to decline, but slowly, and from present indications there wili be an excellent boating stage in all directions for some time to come. There is five feet of water in the Arkansas at Little Rock, but boats drawing four feet and a half will find it trouble some work getting over the bars below there.

White river has a five-foot stage to Jackson port and is falling. The condition of the streams above is mentioned iu the Signal Service telegrams as follows: At Davenport tiie river rose one inch; Keokuk, gorged; Cairo, fell fourteen inches; St. Louis, stationary, with ten feet nine inches above low water; Pittsburg, fell nine incites, with eighteen feet three inches above low water; Cin-cinnatL fell eight inches: Louisville, fell one inch; Vieksburg, rose fifteen inches; Shreveport, nee two inches; Nashville, rising, with six feet eleven inches above low water. The weather yesterday was cold throughout tiie North, but colder here than at any point south of Keokuk, and continued bitter cold until late in the night. By Telegrnpn.

Captain Isaac Everett, I one of the oldest and for a long time a therri off, bdt it is probable they will have to remain where they are until another rise. Two or three ferryboats are also hard aground.

Communication With the Illinois shore was fully restored to-day. The ferries are running both above and below the bridge, and transfer beats are doing thelt regular business.

The City of Augusta came up with three hundred and seventy-throe latles of cotton, arid resbipped eighteen liaies at the mouth of White river. The A. J. White brought up one hundred and twenty-three bales of cotton, and went back at night well laden. The Miuueola passed at noon with six hundred tons for New Orleans, adding nothing here.

The Nick Longworth also cut down, adding a few passengers, and the Exporter also passed down, fully laden. The Augusta left for White river with a fair trip. Hlsccl lane-ana. Ou Thursday, at Washington, the House Committee ou Commerce agreed to report favorably the bills authorizing the construction of railroad bridges at ''anton, Missouri, and Van Buren, Arkansas. Barney Hughes, has a new invention for steamboats aud railroads, from which he expects to make a fortune.

The St. Louis papers will have something to tell about, now that they have had a first-class breakup, and the reporters there will circulate more.instead of toasting their corns around office-fires they have done for a month or two. The bids for the transportation of government supplies on the upper Missouri from Sioux City to Fort Benton for the present year wereosued in Chicago ednesday. General Meade, representing tiie Northern Pacific railroad, was the lowest bidder. Captain W.

S. Spiking, representing Commislore W. J. Kouutz, was the lowest bidder from Sioux City, and ill probably get the contract, as it is stated the other parties are not tpuite ready, their road unfinished. There are now about forty-five coal-boats at the head of the canal, at Louisville, waiting to get through to be towed to the Southern markets.

The Cincinnati Commercial of Thurs-ilay says: "The wharfage 'puestion here is rapidly approaching a culminatiug point, and the example of the R. W. Skillinger mav soon he followed by other boats. Upon legal authority it is claimed that the State law governing this matter Ls unconstitutional, and in the event of such a decision by the United States Courts, the steamboat inter-eats will Le relieved of an immense burden." The remains of the lamented 'aptain Als; McPike will Is? taken to St. Louis by the steamer City of tiuincy.

Private advices say that ten thousand bales of cotton await shipment at points aloug the Tennessee river, but "private advices does not state where the cotton is. The Seminole passed Devalls Bluff on Monday last with seventeen hundred ngi sixty-nine bales of cotton for New-Orleans. White river rose eight feet at Devalls Blulfuo to Wednesday last, and was theu declining slowly. The wives of the steamboat and river men at Hannibal. Missouri, have formed a Come Home Husband Club." It is about four feet long, and has a brush ou the end of it.

The -l's Bluff, Arkansns. Journal, of the fifteenth, tells the following: "During the hist trip of the City of! Augusta from Memphis to this place, I there were a few incidents which we will mention. The first was two birth-, that occurred within twelve hours of each other, a girl and a boy. The girl was christened Augusta, but we did not learn what title they gave the other. The second was that the Augusta, on coing up Indian Bay, found the Legal Te der there hard aground.

While pulling at her, it seems that the crew of the Augusta were out on the forecastle, and as the Legal swung, the rope that was tied to the shore by some cau-e came around one of the knees of the Augu-ta, at the same time -inking the watchman and atleckhand, breaking the jaw of the former and the right arm of the latter." learn from a lcksburg exchange i that a passenger ou the Thompson Dean, by the name of T. B. Lermoud, jumped overlsiard hen near Island i Ninety-eight, ami was with unncuity rescued by the officers of the Dean. He had beeu drinking freeiv, aud was sup posed to be out of liis mind when mak- ing the attempt to destroy himself. From papers found ou his person, it appears that he has friends living at or in the vicinity of Canton, Illinois.

Mr. Lermoud took passage on the Dean at Cairo. William Orris, mate of the Virginia died on Wednesday at Vieksburg. Captain Ad. Storm yesterday received a telegram from St.

Louis, stating that the river was open below Cairo, and that the break-up at St. Louis did little or uo damage to the boats there. the following telegrams, received at St. Louis ou Thursday, show the condi- tion of the rivers above there: At Alton, Illinois, the river is gradually coming up. The ice, becoming fast rotten, will be easily broken up.

No steamers are iu danger. At Kansas City the river iront anu nnove tue city is ciear oi ice. A break-up is anticipated as the river is failing slowly. The ice formed around the ferryboats and barges above the bridge has been cut away and they are now considered out of danger. At Qvincy the river lias risen about five inches in all and continues to rise very slow.

The ice is covered with water from the rain but teams are still crossing with safety. The cold snap today ili probably freeze it up hard again during the night. At Peoria, Illinois, a heavy rain fell Tuesday, causing the river to rise rapidly ever since. A letter from Bar.lstown says the ice at that place is very weak. A telegram to Captaiu Ad Storm.
