Tho permanency of the whole upper portion of i.Ii'e (it y landing is very precarious at present. From tlu: lhoL of Adams street north, the cur! nini.il,- .iiilfiti-.. ifa ttiiv inlurt,! anil nf present tliero seems little progress of its being arrested. In fact we arc unable to suggest any plan ly^which the rapid caving of the banks can be prevented without a tremendous outlay o'" means. The mighty volume of water which rolls down the channel of the Mississippi is not easily controlled. The current which is thrown oil from the Arkansas shore by the projecting point of land above the site of the old town of ilopelicli!, is thrown squarclv across to the Tennessee side, sisiliing tirc~bank :.nst below the month of Wolf river. When the river is high ttie levee is rapidly cut away, and, at anv stage of water, so deep has become the "wash" that there is a continual undermining of ilie banks the inroads of "Old Father Mississippi" is not to be prevented from going whither he will, and no power of man can prevent him from doing so. During die last two years the bank lias retreated inland near one hundred yafdsr More rhan fifty yards of the levee has disappeared during the lasr, vcitl". i.1:co is mer)' >ij>pi;;uu:n.a; ui.ii/ ihu whole level portion oi' the wharf above Adams street will ho swept into the current of the Mississippi within the next two years. All the buildings on that portion of the river will have to be removed or will go into the river. The <vist of stopping this destruction of the landing would be so much that it would lie more than' the value of the whole levee north of Adams street. The lauding wili, doubtless, soon be cleared of building, not by a process of law, but l>y the mighty tide of nature's own creation. The bank lias already retreated tq within a few yards ol ttic government store sheds, and if it continues to advancc the rolling tide of "Old Mississippi" will flow over the place where now the rush nnclbustlc of business is daily flowing to and fro. Wo have only to stand :ynd sec acres of the landing of our fair city ^washed" into tho river that flows byit. The extent of the wash can now be seen since the water has receded.?Memphis Argus, June' 10. -ti 1 In Australia, Chinaman arc beginuing to figure largely in criminal and civil cases, the consequence boing many amusing and cliarac* ; teristic scenes. In one case, in which several Chinese were concerned, on being asked by , the solicitor for the prosecution how they would ' be sworn, each of the Celestials roplied: i "Brekeo platec." , This caused a hitch in the proceedings, there t being no crockery at band available for dedes true lion.
