AMERICAN lCE-The first cargo of a.
merican ice imported directly into the Clyde
or, we believe, into Scotland, is now dischar-
ging at the Broomiclaw, from the brigantine
Acton, of New York, and from the novelty of
the import il has attracted considerable de
gree ot curiosity and interest The cargo was
procured at the Rockland lake, fine sheet OF
water about forty miles up the Hudson river,
and the ice is cut into beautifully sawn blocks
OF about two cwt. each with all the regulari-
ty oil cargo OF square dressed stones The
only protective covering is a layer of rice
chaff and sawdust, and we learn that the loss
during the voyage was exceedingly little -
The lot, amounting TO about 800 tons, is con-
signed TO MIR. e. w. Muir, of this city, and
80 much has the ice trade already com into
repute that large proportion OF the cargo
has been sold TO dealers who store il for them
selves. On Saturday, the 18th inst. an enter
taihmedt in honor OF the new importation
was gwen underan awning on the quarter deck
OF the Acton, To which many of our citizens
were invited. Mr.. Muir filled the chair, and
MIR. Murray (of Reid * Murray, the agents for
the vessel, offciated as cropier. Speeches,
brief and bright, were made by these gentle
men, as well as by Capt. Daggett, of the Ac-
ton, Capt. Hawkins, OF the Saracen SIC. Ma
ny weil-timed toasts were given but none
were more heartily honored than those in
which bumper was drained "to the success
Ipi the ice trade" and .'to permanent and
happy understanding with the United States "
