RIVER INTELLIGENCE.

We learn from the Davenport, Iowa
Gazette, that since the breaking up of the river
at that point last spring, and its closing this
winter there were lib arrivals and depar-
lures of steamers at Davenport. Of the boats
included in these arrivals, six have been lost
during the season, four by burning and two
by sinking.
- Capt. Ned Montgomery's crack steam
er Republic, one of the fastest boats on the Yves
tern waters, and an A. No l craft in every
Particular, arrived here on New Years Day.
She was engaged during the day and yesterday
taking in freight for the South, and will COM
plete her load here and at points below. She
has been running in the St. Louis and New
Orleans trade. But the ice has sent her to the
Ohio river Our fat friend Kirby, has con-
troll of the Office and has lost nofesh through
the trials and tribulations Of steamboating on
the Mississippi. Capt. Nedlooks natural. We

- We thank old friend Forsee, of the
big Eclipse's office, for package of New Or
leans papers of the oath, left US Monday even
ing. The Eclipse may be down tomorrow.
The VIM. Garvin was here New Years
Day, from Louisville. She has made change
in her time and will hereafter be at Evansville
every Tuesday and Friday evenings, and after
a short absence to Henderson, start on her
return trip to Louisville. She will therefore
be down again tomorrow evening
- The Cincinnati Times of Tuesday
says that unles more moderate weather pre-
walls, few days will see navigation closed at
that city.
The St, Louis News of Saturday even
ing says:
The river continues to recede, and is filled
with floating ice. Tho ferry boats continue TO
make their trips from one side of the river to
the other, carrying nothing but passengers
e Their way. The boats at the upper end of the
wharf are changing their position and locating
at different parts of the Levee, in order to be
more secure in case the ice should break loose
and do them injury.
The Rainbow was here promptly at II
o'clock yesterday, from Louisville, and put out
a large quantity of freight. To the disappoint-
ment Of many customers" she had no Louis
vile papers.

Important from Kansas--Excitement at Leaven-
worth neutrality-suspicious. Burning and
Jail Breaking.
We stated, yesterday, that on the 18th inst,
while the voting on the Topeka Constitution
was going on the election at Leavenworth
City was interrupted by the Pro- Slavery men,
in consequence of which some outrages occur
ed. A private letter was received at Lexing-
ton, from Leavenworth, ON the 22d, which
gives further particulars about the affair
4 collision had taken place between the Pro
and anti Slavery parties, which resulted in the
destruction of the ballot box, and an entire in
terruption of the voting. During the excite
ment, one house was burnt, belonging to a
member of the anti-Slavery party. This act
of burning was charged on Pro- Slavery man
whom the Abolitionsts succeeded in arresting
and combining in jail. The friends of the pris-
oner rallied, broke open the JAIL and then
burnt it to the ground.
These proceedings had produced an intense
excitement at the place on each side. The
Anti-Slavery men had sent to Lawrence fol
re-inforcements, and the Pro-SIayery men
also, had requested and sent for aid.
The above is the substance of the letter re
ceiyed at Lexington, which is from source
says the Express, strictly reliable.

SENDING GUNPowDER TO RUssIA.-We con-
denim the Yankees for doing contraband bust
ness with Turkey, but forget that Russia, at
this moment, is obtaining materials of war
from Englishmen. The trade is most extern
sive in the north, and we regret to say that
the number engaged in it is incredibly large.
The terrible fire at Newcastle on-Tyne is not
yet forgotten; but what caused that fire? No
body will tell in Newcastle, but hundreds in
Newcastle know that fire originated in an
explosion of yellow alkali. Now, yellow al
kali was a disguised name for saltpetre and
nitro, which was shipped to the north for Eu-
rope in large quantities, and thence forwarded
ito Russia. On its arrival nothing was required
to make it into gunpowdsr but proper addi-
'tion of charcoal Liverpool Daily Post.

SHARP PRAcTIcE-An exhorter in Meth
todist church in Brooklyn, during prayer meet
ings, carries pack of cards in his pocket-his
own BUSINESS cards-and when penitents
come forward to the anxious seat, he writes
Scripture text upon each oblong of pasteboard,
and offers them to the convicted sinners for es-
pccial contemplation. This kills two birds
with one stone-advetrises his business and
comforts the souls of the contrte; and the good
brother finds religious matters to pay extreme
ly WELL He keeps very large crockery store,
and finds this sort of advertising to be equal as
far as it extends, to any newspaper or circular.
The good brother has waxed rich through this
means, and we suggest to any enterprising
.sympathizers that they might follow his ex-
ample with advantage Neao York Courier.
