Yesterday was as balmy as a Spring day
The accumulated ice and snow melted away
rapidly. In very few days The navigation Of
our river and canal will be completely re-opened.
Las, week the Norfolk Boat lost only one trip
though from Wednesday TO Saturday it had
literally 10 plough through sea of ice, in many
portions Of the river, even below City Point. BY

little DELAY or trouble. 1t was curious 10 observe
with what ease she broke through the solid bed OF
ice, which presented much resistance, even as late
as Saturday ailernoon-at which time we could
discover on The river below Richmond, graceful
spicula of ice forming in detached points, ready
to be woven into one wide and connected mass.
The ice on the Potomac must have inlerfered
considerably with navigation. On Monday, the
Northern Cars did not arrive ill 4, 2. NJ, and
yesterday al half past 3, P. Nj.

up the Canal, and that yesterday fcur boats loaded
with -four reached The basin wharf.
