Dr. Hutton's death, which we lately announced, was
occasioned by a cold that affected 'his lungs, and his
dissolution was apparently without pain. It is remark.
able, .that within the last three days of his life, he re-
ceived the scientific questions from the Bridge House
Committee, recently mentioned in the Common Council,
and answered them in a very masterly manner. These
questions relate chiefly to the ma:tumefiesl carves most
proper to be adopted in the arches of the New London
Bridge which is 'boot to be erected; and his paper os
the subject is considered a valuable document. It is
the more interesting, as being the last production of this
groat man; and also as affording an extraordinary in•
stance of mental powers at the advanced age of 66 years,
and at such a period-of his illness.

OLAsoow, Jan. 30.-Though there have been a few
slight showers since the commencement of the the*, the
weather has been moderate and favourable. Yesterday,
owing to the fate rains, the Clyde was very much
swelko, and large readies of ice came down the river
during the whole day. The pieces were often plied on
one another, and presented the meet faistastic shapes as
they separated from each other. All the three bridges
were thronged by hundreds of admiring spectators.
About 2 o'clock a load of ice came in view with the tee
and circle that is around it for it mark to curlers. ..no.
iee accumulated at the Broconlelaw `to such an esti*
that the water rose from four to six leer higher at the
head, than it was at the foot of the Quay. At' a
quarter past nine, the mass of ice aid water bunt.
with a tremendous crash'. The sloops, with one ex.
ception, stood out:the shock; but warps, hawsers,
cables, chains, timber beads. and palls of the Steam
Boats, gave way in every difettion. A dreadful
icons of confesion and alarm followed. Ten steam
boats were forced from their moorings. and carried
down the rivet. They had been previously secured
with the greaten care. The Wateeloo was moored with
a 9 inch -bowler, a 4 inch warp, and besides had out
one of her bitiverenchor with a forty fathom chain, yet
the whole gave way. The steam heats have been all
more or less-injured. One was forced down to Bowling,
two were brought tip at tiavan, and the others are lying
indifferent places in that neighbourhood. 'The William
and Betsy, a sloop belonging to Dumfries, loaded with
grain, was carried down, it is believed, to Dumbarton
or Greenock. and the Ring,Dove, a Brig' from Peterhead,
had two sideplanks stove in by large pieces of ice. So
far as has yet been ascertained, no lives were lost.
