joined description OF the method adopted by the
Knickerbocker Ice Company Of Philadelphia
Sr the speedy separation ant transmission Of this
useful substance, taken from the Philadelphia
Lcgcr. may not prove unin,eres:ing 10 the ma
jority OF our readers:
A clear field of ice in the centre of stream
has been chosen, leading from which TO the
house channel is cut about two feet wide, a.
long which the ice is pushed nfler being cut.
The ice is cut in one direction in regular cakes,
eighteen inches wide, by means of plow drawn
by horse; these are afterwards cut into the
proper lengths by means Of cross cut saws, man.
aged with the utmost ease by men on the sur
face OF the ice. The cakes thus cut are pushed
along the channel already mentioned Till they
ed machine which is complete and perform in
an admirable manner the task of raising the ice
into the house. Il consists OF an endless chain
put in motion by horse power, which playing

hold of as soon as they arrive at the foot of the
plane by graples placed along the chain, about
eight fee, apart; the cakes slide very easily o.
Yer iron tracks OH the plane, aud on arriving a,
the top, fall on 10 another IN The mterior, which
can be moved as to convey the cakes TO any
part Of the building. The grapes being about,
eight feet apart, cakes seven feet long can be
taken up the ascent at very rapid rate hu,
the cakes being unwieldly when cut that size,
they are generally but four or five feet long.
In the space of single minute, we saw nine
cakes deposited in the building, which at an a.
versge Of three hundred pounds each, would
made 2,7O0 lbs. in that time. The enormous
quantity ofeOO tons was placed in the house in
seven hours by means of this machine. One
peculiarity attending this method, is that none
ofthe men employed have any occasion TO han
die the ice from the time il is frst cut until il is
safely deposited in It's appropriate depot. Two
men are only required to attend Tor the purpose
Of feeding the machine, snd the power of work.

rlble accident; snne Of The unfortunate victims
only escaped being drowned 10 freeze to death

Belle Zane toiiop mp. The officers of The for.
mer boat picked up sixteen ot the passengers Of
the latter at different points on che Arkansas
side. The unfor,nnates, after suffering nrrc-
dibly from the cold, were finally landed at Ma.
poeon, where The tala,re II those saved ON Il g
Arkansas side had previously assrublcd. Il,

barrels of -four, the property Of Mr.. Bowen !;
900 empty brre's marked c. D. & Co; 800
sacks of corn shipped by ID. Watson of New
Madrid; DIG sacks oats, 43 barrels beans AID
55 barrels potataes, consigned TO Fellows, John
son g. Co. The u. S. mail ftom Louisville,
Mem 5is, and mouth ofthe Ohio river, was al.
so on board, and all, together with the boat and
fixtures, was total loss.
Several Of The unfortunate passengers came
down On the Diamond to point ubove. and six
others came as far as this city. The names Of
the latter are John p. Nesle. of Albany. N. Y,
James Sheridan, John Mick, Rober, II. Foster,

Of them are so badly frost.bi,,en that they are
unable to use them.

A T1iRENODY IN THE APPROACHING
DEMISE OF OLD NtoaYIER CORN LAW.


DEMISE OF OLD NSos1IER CORN LAW.
BY THOMAS MOORE.
I see, I sect is coming fast,
Our dear old Corn.law's doom is cast,
That ancient lady, of high degree,
Is as near her end as she well can be
Add much will all vulgar eaters Of bread
Rejoice when they see her fairly dead
For never from ancient Media down
To the late Mrs. Brownrigg, of bad rcnown,
Has any old dame been known, they aver,
Who could starve and carve poor folks like her,
But dear old dan,sc, they wrong her sadly,
IT was all by law she behaved so badly;
And God forbid, whate'er the event.
That free.born Britons should e'er repent
Wrongs done by Act of Parliament
But is it indeed then come to this,
Afer ak our course of highbred bliss
Poor, dear old Corn Law-propo peers,
And glory of squircs through countless years,
Must all thy structure of pounds and pence,
Like another Babylon, vanish hence!
Must towering prices and rents sublime
Thus topple, like turrets touched by time
And ALL for what! that each shrtless oaf
May bolt, for breakfast, larger loaf!
For this one vulgar purpose alone
Is all this inelegant mischief done
For this poor knatchbul--hard privution--
Mustlower peg his ''social sia1iong''
For this, even lords, distressing thoughtJ
Will soon to short commons all be brought
will fall with their wheat so mnch per quarter,
And get to look blue as Bucky's garter.
And stars will grow pale as prices fail,
And fees in tail will be cut off for sale
And all will sing by sliding soale,-
As ''slips o'er its slime the sleek slug -snaii,7'
Nor leave one corn lord high and hale,
Though they flourish nowso tell the tale-
