RIVER NEWS.

At this port the Ohio came 10 a stand at a
late hour night before last, and was slowly
swelling yesterday and continued last even
ing, with channel-depth of thirteen and q
half feet. AT Pittsburg the River is, we be-
Geve, gradually rising, which, probably, is the
condition of the stream all the way down.
The weather, yesterday, was cloudy,and
unpleasant, but far less inclement than on
Monday. No rain fell, and the temperature
was lower, On the Landing, business re-
NAMED very dull. The Landing was still
crowded with boats, but few Of them were
doing any thing of consequence.
The Mississippi is falling at st. Louis, with
six feet to Cairo, and plenty of water below
the latter point. Ice has made its appear
ance in the River, and in the Upper Mississippi
heavy ice and very cold weather are re-
ported.
The Illinois River was raising at last ae-
counts, from Peoria to the mouth, with three
feet in the channel. The Missouri River is
repOGted falling, and very low. II is very
probable that the Illinois River is closed
with ice by this time. The Upper Missis-
sippi packets have nearly all ceased running
for the season.
