From the Albany Express of The oothl
On Saturday we conversed with two three
persons who went upon the river exploring eXpedi-
ton. and they all agree as to the formation of y
new island during the past winter. near Castleton,
short distance south Of the point Of the island on
which the Lighthouse stands, and just below the end
Of the dam. II has formed in the channel where the
boats ran last year. The Indiana, in going down,
ran on it, but it was then supposed that it
thing more than ice; but. on returning, the water
had fallen, when it was discovered that quite u
large island had been formed. The channel runs
more 10 the westward. and from the observation
then made, it is thought to be deeper than the old
course. Other changes have been caused, which
viii undoubtedly present difficulties to the
boating interests. On Saturday morning seven sail
vessels sloops and schooners took leave Of u.s. and
proceeded on their way down the river, destined for
different ports Owing to the prevalent "north-

and they all ran aground on C:sstleton bar where
they were laying on Saturday afternoon. The

Baltimore on Saturday morning, after two or three
