PHILADELPHIA, Feb. ss.-The Ice on the
RIVER ScHUYLkILL had broken up, and was
IN immense masses yesterday and the day be-
lore above the Falls Bridge. AT length the wa
Yer was damned to such height, that IA little
AFTER O'Clock last afternoon il raised the Falls
Bridge from Oft the piers and abutments and
carried 1t away entire. 1t struck against the
null Just below the Falls and Their. a niece was
broken off one end. The great BODY of the
bridge, the roof, SIC. &c. was then carried IL
long on the bosom of the flood. 1t arrived i'm
tnls condition ut 90 minutes past 5, lust a.
bove the Dam at Fair Mount There were
many spectators and great apprehension was
le't tor inc safety of the Dam and the Upper
ferry Bridge. These approximations were
ber bound together by bolts and bars, which
had been the Falls bridge, was no sooner'pre
over the Dam than it was broken in
to ten Thousand pieces. 1t is believed that the
bridge thus destroyed cost $4,000. Ii is a
serious loss To the rr0prictors and to the pub
lie.
Some oil the thinkers and large cakes of
ice struck against the upper and middle Bridy-
es, hui without doing any injury. The fresh
IN SchnylkIl was very great and we have
much satisfaction, in stating, that SO far as
oar information extends, no damage, otherthan |
we have mentioned, has been done to any of
uhe many interesting Public works erected |
and erecting mn that river. We are somewhat |
'nXlons to hear from the head waters of the
ever and the upper gaps. n great BODY of |
meadow and public road is overfowed
The body of wafer which has been thrown
INTO the Delaware by the Schuylkill, has as
sisted To clear The river ice below the mouth !
pf Schuyikill. The thaw of the last two DAYS
has poured large volume of water into the |
delaware, from runs and creeks, and the ice |
although thick is much rotted. A continu- |
ance OF the present warm weather for "a |
hours, VIII sweep away our icy letters, open
the port and give new life to business.

From our Correspondents,
Harrisburg, Feb. O..
The House OF Representatives has lust
agreed not to extend the Charters ofthe Com |
lnercIal, Sckuylki and Northern Liberties |
Banks the present session, but 10 recommend |
the subject TO the early attention of the next
Legislature. The fate of the other banks is |
not yet decided
=" The project of Loan Office it is thought |
Will not be revived. There is d prospect oil
passing the Bill authorship the Governor to |
subscribe to the stock of the Chesapeake and |
Delaware Canal. Little hope is entertained |
of getting rid of the Shop tax, or of such a |
modification of the Auction laws as would
make them less cumbersome to trade" TO-
