DESTRUCTION BY THE ICE.

From the Niagara U c. Cleaner, Jan. le:
On the 3lst ult. the ice began to run in
the river, and continued to run till the Cd
inst. when it became stationary--a little a.
bove Fort George, about mile from the
mouth of the river, vast quantities OF ice
coming down from above, being stopped ,ac-
cumulated between this and Queenston, pro
duced mountains of ice and raised the water
and ice there to an unprecedented height
the water rose nearly twenty feet perpendi-
cu.ar-the consequence was, that all the
stores at the water side, both at Queenston
and Lewiston were either swept away, or
crushed 10 pieces; with the exception
of the kings store that is built OF stone,
on the bank;) the waller has now subsidized,
and the mountains of ice, cemented toge.
ther. so that, after hewing out road a.
mongst those mounlsins, sleighs pass and
repass in safety. 1t is about IA years since
the river has been frozen over, and altho'
it then damned the water back as far as
Queenston, and did some damage, yet no.
thing of the kind has ever happened 10 the
same extent before.

OF THE NAVY.

There has been much information on the
subject Of the navy, its employment, re-
gula;iUns, expenses, &c. laid before con.
gres,, during the present session, in pursu-
house. The shape IN which that informa-
ton is afforded, the precision and luciGness
OF the order in which facts are presented,
strongly attest the advantages which the
country has derived from the establshm ent
of the board Of navy commissioners, as now
constituted. The civil head of the depart
nent is relieved in great degree from the
technical duties which ought not properly TO
devolYe on him, and IS enabled to apply his
time and talent to the general direction Of
the navy and 10 its civil administration. We
have already presented to our readers one
long report Of the navy commissioners; and
there is another now before US, replete with
Interesting information. We have not room
even for long extracts from IL; but the fol-.
lowing statement Of The cost OF vessels in
and out Of service il comprised within a
small compass, and will be interesting 20
many readers:
ExrRAc FROM AN OFFICIAL REPORT,
Query 7lh "What is the estimated average
cost per annum, of vessels ofthe following
classes respectively, viz: IL. Is, 90, 80,
SO, ~, ~ LIST, Oh cruise; Cd, in Ordina-
~: Sd, when dismantled?"
e '''Fhe commissioners, having had refer
encs to series OF estimates made at various
periods during the existence of the navy have
to state. that the following appears 10 be a.
bout the average estimated cost per annum,
on cruize, viz:
A.lat,I4 DeO,595
Is 10 I8 7,44o
s0to2I 100
Ss gun frigate $4,000
SO gun do 1880
a. do $4,000
- do 100000
The annuanal expense OF vessels in ordi-
nary, exclusive Of any repairs to which they
n,y he subject, may be estimated as iol-
lows. viz:
