The Cincinnati Commercial OF the 9Th says:
The river here has swollen from eleven to twelve
| inckes since Tuesday morniHg. and was still rising slowly
last night. The rise is doubtless caused by the gorge be-
tween here snfAurora. The weather continues cold and
navigation is now fully suspended, and we fear the Ohio
viii To frozen over, from shore 10 shore. The steam
ers heretofore reported, are stll in the gorge At Twenty
Nile Island, and the river falling fast at Louisville.
e The Louisville Courier, OF the 9Th instant, con-
Sans the following:
No ARRIVAL.-The river CONTINUES blocked BY ice both
above and below the falls, ana there were no arrivals or
departures yesterday. The river is falling fast, with less
than i've feet water in the canal, and not over six feet in
tn lower Ohio. The weather yesterday was mOdersting
fast, with the Thermometer barely a. the freezing point
during the day, and : prospect Of its continuing - mod
derate through the night.
By dispatches from Evansville last evening we learn
that no boats had reached that point, the river having
gorged somewhere above. The NOTfherneT, that left
here Saturday nizbt for Memphis, had not been heard OF,
and IL IS supposed that sAs IS ice-bound at Wolf Greek or
the NarTOws.

points above:
