THE RIVER-THE CANALS.


The river during Saturday was filed with float
ing ice But few vessels were TO be seen at dock at
the close Of the day. The Jonas c. Heart went
down about o'clock, having in tow or 6 sloops
and schooners, heavily laden.
Everything in the shape Of steamboat has been
pressed into the service as a tow-boat. The pas
sage-boat North America lowed to New York on
Saturday no less than IS boats. The Albany, also
apassage-boat, carried feet south. Between 4
and 5, the Trojan cleared out with several lake
boats and four or Ave soops and schooners. Al 8,
the knckerbocker and Columbia left, laden with
as much -four, &c, as they could conveniently
stow.
But three boats had locked from the canal to the
basin at O'Clock on Saturday At Schenectady,
and as far west rs Schoharie creek, the canal was
reported closed, or much obstructed that II was
expected to close along the valley of the Mohawk
on Saturday night.
But "a cents were taken at the collectors Office
on Saturday. The last boat cleared for Rochester
was the II. b. North, Pease's line, on Thursday
evening.
From Major Doty, of Livingston and Wellss ex-
press, who in Saturday, learn that 70 all
appearances the canal is closed for the season. He
did not see single boat in motion. Atseveral
points he saw teams leaving the tow-path; evidently
having abandoned the boats. Between Utica and
Schenectady he saw but few boats; but west Of
Utica they were more plentiful.
The river yesterday Sunday morning was full
Of ice. The South America left at 81 p. M, and the
II. Hudson at S p. m.--both in advance of their

Union Female Benevolent Society-Interesting Meet
ing Last Night-Gen. NJ Cala--JAdge Shields--
The Rep. Mr.. Sprole, &c. &C.
There was an interesting annual meeting Of the
Union Female (Presbyterian) Benevolent Society,
at Mr. Sprole's Church, on Four-and-a-half street,
last night.
From the report read by DR.. Lowrie, it appears
that within the last year the benevolent ladies attach
ed to this truly christian society, have administered,
in small doses to be sure but still in the nick of
time) relief in wood food, raiment, and other ne
cessaries to upwards Of two hundred destitute ia
miles in the city of Washington. number OF
heart rendlng cases were cited, which must have
terminated in crime or starvation, but for the provl-
dental visits OF the angels OF mercy OF this So
clety
General M'Cala, of Ky, Second Auditor, ad-
dressed the meeting on the benefits OF such socle-
ties as this, on the obligation OF sustaining them;
contrasting, as he proceeded, the general and almost
| universal abundance of the necessares III our IA
vored land, as contrasted with the huge and unina-
nageable mass OF poverty, rags, and desttution
among the seethlng monarchles OF king-ndoen
Europe.
Judge Shields followed in an aPproprl;-
ate and spirit stirring appeal; and said,
that he was glad to find IN the city
OF Washington, such evidences as THIS So
cley afforded OF the moral and Christian
character of the people He reJoced at IL Tor the
sake of the city, and Of It's standing the capital OF
the whole Union. He grateful tor the privilege
of uniting in this meeting TO the turtherance OF It's
objects He would cheerfully contribute what time
and money he could spare IN AID of such benevo-
lent enterprises as it had been his pleasure to hear
read before the meeting
The speech Of each OF these gentlemen was based
4 upon resolution, which at the close OF their re-
marks respectively, unanimously adopted.
The Rev. Mr. Sprole, pastor OF the church in
which the meeting was held, next followed in one
of the most powerful and eloquent spontaneous
harangues in behalf OF the purposes OF the society,"
and in eucidation OF the provdentlal dspensations
and other of destltutlon, that has ever been
our good fortune to hear
Seventy odd dollars were collected at the close Of
the meetng-pretty fair for the small number in at
