TIE Ics.-The ice in the river remained
stationary Sunday and yesterday, and adj
yepturous persons were crossing the river
over probably As rough road as they ever
travelled. The water was slowly receding'
and With the cold weather, we presume no
danger Of further rise need be apprehend-
ed NJ present.

A REPORT has been in circulation IN Rock
leland, that the piers OF The big bridge were
seriously injured by the ice last Saturday
This is all an error. The piers are sound
\, ever. and we do not think it in the pow
er Of ice to seriously affect them.

crowd ON our streets at a moments warn
inr these dull times. Yesterday afternoon
horse ran OF with I dray, and after little
scrub race, stopped on the pavement near
tho corner of Brady and Second. Ia mo-
men, horse and dray were invisible for the
black crowd surrounding it. Others squares
dis,ant seeing the goodly gathering rushed
towards it. Finally the excitement was
suelled by unhitching the horse from the
remnants Of the dray, and leading him Oft.

ARRIV AL OF THE NIAGARA.
Three Days Later from Europe.

AAASU Oeys ASseA AOAA 6NaokS.
HALIFAX, Feb. IS.
The steamer Niagara arrived early this
morning, en- route for Boston.
The Niagara left Liverpool on the r. M.
of the l4th inst. Her advices are therefore
three days later than those received by the
Indian at Portland. She reports very
boisterous passage. On the 10Th, exchang-
ed signals with the steamer Kangaroo,
bound west
The screw steamer City of Washington
from New York, arrived at Liverpool on
Thursday, the 18th Inst.
The Atlantic arrived out at 2 A. NJ. on
the l3th, and the Persia at 2 A. n. l4th,
msking the run in little over nine days
She logged 362 miles in three successive
days, and during the passage she averaged
$40 miles per day.
The Hermann, having been repaired,
sailed from Southampton on the 18th inst,
and would leave there on the 10Th inst. for
New York.
The steamer Constitution, from New
YORK, arrived at Cowes on the 10th, and
proceeded the same day to Antwerp.
The steamer Cadz sailed from Liverpool
on the llth for New York.
The Cambria had sailed for Marseilles
to take her place on the Cunard Australian
line.
II is not intended, says the Daily News,
to send out anystroops from England to
Persia. This announcement we make With
the most entire confidence THAT it will be
found to be correct. We Lelieve that we
may add that the force already at bushire
will not advance into the interior, and
that effort ID being made to bring about a
peace.
The Murray affair, we are assured, forms
no serious part Of the negotiations which
are being carried on at Paris BY Ferruk
Kahn and Lord Kawley. There is at pres.
ent every reason to hope that those nego-
tiations will terminate In the re-establish-
ment of amicable relations between the
English and Persian Governments.
The Dsyly News states that no tIoaps
troops are to be sent from England TO China
The Times, after remarking that this sat.
isfactory settlement of questions relative to
the Danubian principalitles cannot be en-
daugered by such an imprudent manifesto
as appeared few days since in the honi'
teur, says the policy of England 10 to de-.
clare positively against temPorsng with
the int erity of the Turkish Empire, and to
set itself with hrmness in sappo OF the
revolution that has taken place against the
uroposed union OF the Provinces Of the Dan
ubc.
