port that on the 4th they reached the
wreck, in about twenty feet water, but on
the day following upon descending TO the
same depth, the wreck had disappeared.
Search was made by dragging along the
bed of the river for a considerable dis
lance, but no trace could be found of the
wreck, and upon sounding, a depth OF
water was found in several places of from
100 to l25 feet, and for about one hun
bred feet along the bed, no bottom could
be found the greatest depth previously
know was from 90 to 80 feet. A bar
was also discoved 10 a part Of the river
which previously was deep water. 1t
was the impression of the men in charge
of the diving bell, that the wreck had en-.

river.
This is the report, es we have il from

From the Cincinnati Chronicle. Of Feb.
THE CINCINNATI PROVISION MARKET.
We noIiced yesterday that some hogs
were still coming in. and tina, the cutting
is not yet entirely closed. The season,
however, is in the main at an end. We
have occasionally visited the great ware
houses where the Provision business is
chiefly carried on, and kept our eyes on
the state Of he market. The general re.
suit ia respect to quantity is that over
200 900 hogs--a number exceeding that
of any former year--has been packed in
this city and neighborbood.
The chief reason why more than the
usual number has been driven in is, that
hogs at this season are almost the only
article that would command at once cash.
There were many farmers who had no
other means Of getting money to pay
taxes. Another reason, and an impor-
tant one, is the introduction OF Lard Oh !;
and third, which may be more important
in future, is demand 10 Europe
Not much pork has, however, yet been
put up for England. The arrangements,
(if it can be made profitable at oil, are
not yet completed abroad.
Lard has been in considerable demand
for France, where we presume it is made
into various oils By the skill Of the chem
list. 1t is said, and we think it not i'm
probable, that good deal of Olive OIL
originally comes from the hog. Pork
packers say that about 10000 hogs have
been run into Lard entirely, with the ex.
ception of the Hams. This is new
plan, but il has enabled the owners OF the
hogs to command fraction more in ready
money than they could otherwise do.
The size of some in the last droves
have been somewhat remarkable. We
saw in the slaughter. house, two weeks
since, drive of 23l hogs, several of
which weighed over 400 lbs. and the
average weight of the whole was $50 lbs
Tho curing Of provisions here has i'm.
improved every year, until now the neat
ness, system, qulckness, care and skill,
which all parts oil both Pork and Beef,
but especially the former, is put up in this
market, is really admirable. No turkey
was ever carved with more adroitness at
ladies' table, than the gentlemen of the
cleaver here cut into his proper proper
tons the slain porker. No pudding was
ever mixed by the fair hand of the lady
herself with more neatness OF handling
and preparation than the Sugar cured and
Extra Hams. This is an important mat
ter to those who eat them.
On the whole, the provision market
here has been very active this winter !;
and so far as pork goes, will be able to
furnish liberal supply TO the waiting ex-
pectants abroad. Cincinnati Hams have
acquired very high character, and not
without reason : for better hams never
were eaten than some We have seen here.

REVOLUTIONARY PENSIONERS.


The National lnteIlgencer, at the in
stance OF correspondent, suggests, as a
measure in fit keeping with the patriotic
feelings lately excited by the presentation
Of Revolutionary relics, that Congress
should at once pass an act, reviving and
extending the law of 1888 granting PEN
sions to the widows of those officers and
soldiers who fought for the blessings and
the liberty we now enjoy. Ii is said that
the widows who will be relieved by the
passage of that law are all worry aged,
and many of them in distressed circum.
stances. their number having been much
reduced by death since tho expiration of
the Jaw of 1888, which ran out in March,
lS4l.
There could be no more suitable mode OF
showing respect to the memory Of WASH.
INGToN and FRAKNLIN, or of expressing
the nations sense Of gratitude to the
brave men who achieved our indepen
dence, than such measure as is thus sug-
gested. We presume it is not general
known that the law of 1888 has ceased. -
Having received for a time the benefit oil
its provision, the loss will be more severely
felt by the aged pensioners than if no
assistance had been gwen at all. Besides,
The national gratitude is MOTTO be restrict
ed to a term of years. Ii the pensions
were deserved at frs, land no one, we
presume, will say that they were not
there is the same reason for their continu-
ance as there was for the bestowing oil
them. The session of Congress is draw
ing to aclose--bu. there is time enouSc
yet for an act Of public justice ard par
! tional gratitude.
