ADDTTToNAL RIVER NEWS.

ST. LOUIS. Jan. a31.--The weather
is mild and the snow thawing rapidly,
with a fair prospect of a speedy rer
sumption of navigation. s3saa
Itwas generally believed that the
river was swelling little yesterday
evening, and it could scarcely be 9TH
erwise from the vast quantity of melt
ed snow and ice which has found its
wayinto it within the past two days.
The wind shifted around into the
South. yesterday afternoon and blew
at times almost gale, driving the
ice heavily into the harbor, and rem
deredl it extremely difficult for the
Orr and Watts to get out of port......
The Orr took out the biggest packet
trip, we presume, that ever left this
port. She battled the ice for over an
hour before she was able to break
her way out, the wind setting so
strongly on ash0re that it was
almost impossible to get her
head out. On her way out
she struck the Armada S yawl, driving
it against her bulkheads, which were
slightly damaged, breaking down
the derrick and letting the yawl drop
into the river The yawl was not
damaged. ........ The Watts got out a
little before 9 o'clock. She had big
trip.........The Liberty continued to
receive rapidly all day, and has suffi
cent engagements to fill her to her
utmost capacity........One item of the
Sam. Orr's freight was 100 sacks of
coffee, shipped by single grocery
house of this city.........There is a
vast amount of Cumberland River
freight accumulated here waiting ship
ment, some of it has been waiting for
four weeks. The Chattanooga will
probably take it out to-day, if not, it
will be shipped by the Armada The
merchants and their custo1nersare be-
coming impatient ........The Ada Lyon
will leave for Green BiYer this even
ing....... The Minyoung, Captain
Mitchell, left for Green River yester-
day, taking barge in tow for the

gay dance on board the Liberty
No. 2 last night, a large party

FROM BALTIMORE TODAY.

Important Legal Decision by Judge
Giles, In the Case of q Libel Against
the Ship Maggie Hammond.
ESPECIAL DESPATCH TO EVENING TELEeRAPH.l
BALTIMORE, Oct. 26.-Judge Giles, in the
United States District Court, this morning de
livered long and very able opinion in the case
of libel against the ship Maggie Hammond.
The Judge decided the contract to ship iron
from port i'll England to Montreal, Canada,
had been palpably broken by the owners of the
vessel, in consequence Of the delay in the de-
livery of iron of nearly four months, owing to
the vessel getting damaged, but it was the duty
of the contractors to have employed another
vessel, or other means, when they found their
own ship could not perform her voyage home.
According to maritime law, there was evident ne
glect and palpable violation Of contract, and as
thereby three hundred tons had declined ma
terally in value owing TO the delay OF its de-
livery, he would award the difference of price,
which amounted to some seven thousand dol
lars, against the ship Maggi' Hammond and
her owners. Many very nice and novel points
were covered by this decision.

The steamer Marsella, from Vera Cruz Octo-

The reelection of President Juarez is now
undoubted. Out of the two hundred and forty
five electoral votes, General POririo Daz gets
only seventy-five.
The success Of the amendments to the Const-
tuition is improbable.
Admiral Tegethoff is still tarrying here. and
there is yet no certainty of his getting the late
Emperor's body soon.
A grant has been made for the Tehuantepec

When Louis Napoleon found it necessary
to provide for his companion, " Mrs. Howard,
the lady in question, as Mr.. John Hay would
say, demanded as part of her settlement the
title of Countess. The Emperor sent an agent
to Italy, to purchase a small State with a title
attached, and gave to him a letter of introduc-
ton to Cavour. The Italian Minister, sup
posing the agents mission related to great in
ternational questions, had the go-between
dined and wined, in sumptuous apartments,
and treated with distinguished consideration.
Finally, Cavour sent for the agent and by
diplomacy extracted the secret of the mission.
It is unnecessary to paint the wrath of the
great Italian when the thing came out.
Mr.. Thornton, the new British Minister to
Washington, has quite recently received the
appointment OF Minister to Lisbon, but in con-
sequence of the sudden death of Sir Frederick
Bruce his destination has been changed. Mr.
Thornton's ability as diplomatist has been
tested in the missions which he has success
sively discharged in Uruguay, the Argentine
Confederation, and Brazil.
james Solomon, full-blooded negro, in
tends to matriculate at the University of Lon

minister on the Gold Coast, and when he went
to England had had no teaching but what he
received in a native school.
