OLE BULL's Love ADvENTURE.-The Courier
des Etats Unis publishes very romantic story of
young lady of high responsibility in Boston,
who followed Ole Bull on TO New York, and had
herself conducted to his room, confessing herself
willing to be his slave and that the violinist
reasoned with her on the improperly of her be-
havior, and conducted her 10 the steamboat and
sent her back, sorrowing, 10 her friends. THE
Sunday Atlas says We have heard another
version of the story. The lady did not, as we
learn, follow the violinist TO New York, but vis-
tied him at his hotel in Boston. The result is
much the same as that published in the French
paper. Ole Bull was an honorable man; but
The lady, we grieve to record, is, we hear, in a
lunatic asylum. The strength Of her passion
overcame her reason. and she was suffering under
the direst Of caamties, madness, when she visit
ed him.

GoRGE IN THE Observation-Disclosures from
the Mississippi report gorge OF ice in the river,
commencing just above the Grand Tower, and
extending up the river probably fifty or sixty
miles. The steamboat Palestine and another
boat, thought to be the Allegheny, are locked
fast in the gorged ice, and supposed to be in
great danger. Several boats bound up were iy-
ing below the gorge, which it was supposed
would be endangered by the breaking loose OF
the ice.
The passengers were suffering greatly, parti-
cnlarly those on deck for the want of provisions.
Many of them, including women and children
had undertaken to walk by land round the gorge
one hundred miles, to st. Louis. Boats coming
down were stopped in the gorge, and many Of

be modification of the tariff favorable to the
