RIVER STEAMERS.—The steamer Pilot Boy will start for Baltimore to-morrow morning to have her bottom scraped—a six hours job, but which, strange as it may seem, cannot be done here. She will land freight and passengers at all her usual landings, and will resume her regular semi-weekly trip on the 15th, arriving here that day. It has not yet been determined whether her route shall continue as far down as Cone River or stop at Cornfield, but it is probable that the latter will be the case.

The regular semi-weekly trips of the Lady of the Lake to Norfolk were resumed this afternoon. The steamer left here at her usual hour with a large freight and some passengers.

The trips of the Falmouth steamer Fairy are now only tri-weekly—Monday, Thursday and Saturday.
