The Freshe,.--On Thursday, about q
o'clock, the ice in the Schuylkill dam at
Fair mount gave way. in consequence OF
the freshet created BY the sudden thsw,
and presented one Of the most sublime
prospects ever beheld. At S O'Clock the
entire bridge of the Falls of Schuyikill
was seen rapidly approaching the falls Of
the Dam; and that oithe sister Bridge al
the Upper Ferry. Itglided safely under
the lofty arch Of the adjacent bridge, and
was forthwith projected by the current a.
gains, the eastern pier of the permanent
bridge, and severed by the conclusion.
The rise of the river was so great below
the dam in the space of an hour. that ma
ny lives were in danger, and much pro-
perty was lost. The rapitlity Of the cur
rent could not have been less than ten
miles an hour.
We understand that the Delaware is
clear Of ice below Chester.

The immense quantities OF rain which
fell i'll the course of yesterday and last
night, together with the melting of the
snow which had previously fallen, caus-
ed another overflow of Jones. Falls. Be
fore daylight the alarm was given, and
the waters rose from that time until a.
bout 9 O'Clock, when they commenced
falling. II is impossible TO form any ex-
act idea Of the damage aone, at this hour,
but there is no tloub, that Mr.. M'Gaus-
land alM DR.. White suffered at their ex-
tensive establishments. All the cellars
and floors in the vicinity of ,l,e !alls
were filed and oyerhowed, and much in
jury has been done.

The Court Of Portugal hsd manifested the
