The HuDsoN-FLooD AT ALBAEY.-We have
already stated that the Utica the first boat TO
reach Albany this season-arrivlng there through
heavy fields of ice at 10 A. NJ. Of Thursday, April
18th The Swallow, Capt. Mclean, was close
behind her as she passed Coxsackle after day
light, but, being much longer, she could not 50
well be steered in the ice, and having sustained
some damage III forcing her way through, she
desstcd when some two miles above Co1aachie,
went back 10 that place to reht, and remained
There till near noon, when she started again, and
reached Albany about p. M.--the second boat
ofthe season. and the first that made tap straight
through the Utica having met aud taken her pas
scngers from the Rochester. The mlldnes5 oi the
day and the steady rise OF the waters had greatly
diminished the resistance of the ice since morning
On Friday night it rainod some at Albany, TIC
weather continuing mild, and the vast body OF
snow on the waters of the Mohawk and upper
Hudson began TO melt IN good earnest The
river, already high, rose steadily though no'
rapidly over the wharvcs, until Sunday noon
when it was some two or three feet deep IN front
of the Eagle Tavern which could Only be APP
preached by boats. The passengers fol the steam
boat had to reach it in skifis and scows ON Sunday
The Rochester, which left this City on Friday eve
ming, did not reach Albany till after Saturday
night, being detained by the dense fog on tho River
Up to the time she left Albany, P. u. on Sunday
no other boat had reached that port since Friday
morning; but the North America, which left here
on Saturday evening, must have arrived soon after
having been detained all night by fog. The water
rose SO gradually at Albany, that the damage Will
probably be slight, though the cellars of many
and the lower stories of quite namhcr of houses
are filled. We believe the flood had little abatcd
when the Rochester left, bat it will probably tie over
the docks for day or Two yet as we understand
that the still hes deep North Of Utica. and the
ace in the Mohawk had not broken up on Saturday.
The Rochester with goodly number Of passen-
gers reached this City at half past six yesterday
mormng-good time, considering the ice III thu
River and the fog and cloud which cnveloped 1t
