THE EAST RIVER CLOSED BY ICE--CRrTICAL POsITIO
OF THE REVENUE BOARDING BARGE.

The East and North rivers were full of drift ice yes
terday. All the vessels that came up from sea we're
brought up by steamtugs.
AT Throgs's Neck the ice ia fast across to the Long
Island shore, which win account for there being no arri-
walls by way of the Sound. u
The United States revenue barge, in charge of officer
Leach, when about to board the ship Leila, from Rotter-
lam, in the East river, was caught in some heavy ice,
just under the ships bow, and but for the timely aid
rendered by the' captain of the ~steamtug Jacob Bali,
who had the ship in tow, a serious accident, no doubt,
would have been the result. As it was, the boat was
but little injured. Some of the boatmen taking to the
water and others to the rigging of the vessel they were
all saved, and are particularly anxious to return to the
captain of the Jacob Bell their sincere thanks for his
very timely assistance in backing his boat, and for his
other attentions to them.
