SUDDEN CHANGE IN THE WEATHER.-
Ihe change in the weather we predicted in our
notice OF affairs on the Delaware, occurred
during Sunday night. At O'Clock yesterday
morning the thermometer ranged, in various
situations from a. TO 48 degrees, with an atmo-
sphere that reminded us Of the month OF April
Ihe southerly aud southeasterly winds at the
Capes of the Delaware brought in q very full
TIDE. The steamer Juniata, with the aid of the
City Ice Boat, forced her way through the ice,
and reached Arch street wharf at o'clock yes
terday, having left the Horse Shoe at an early
hour in the morning.
The Ice Boat, alter coaling Immediately pro-
ceeded down the river and Is now below.
Ihere is every prospect of a motion IN the lce
below, and If the rain that commenced last
are great prospects OF q treshet, more or less
heavy in proportion to the increasing warmth
OF the atmosphere. The winter seems over, and
there is a sanguine hope of general "breaS'
up"
The Juniata this morning was busily engaged
in dischargmg her cargo The steamer Tona-
wanda still lies at the Southern Steamship
Company's wharf talthough she cleared yester.
day at the Custom House, detained by the
absence of the Ice Boat still below-hOwever,
en- route upwards, with the HendTick Hudson
and another steamer in tow. If she arrives
during the day the Tonawanda will go down to-
morrow. Three other steamers are also in readl-
ness to depart. The river this morning was
clear from about Arch street to the fast ice,
the broken fragments moving down on strong
ebb, but they will be choked again at the
Horseshoe, and return again with the incoming
tide. 1t VIII be high-water to-day at 33 O'Clock,

A TEMPERANCE JOURNAL.-The fearful
vice OF intemperance has become so prevalent
in our midst of late, that it is time for all
orderly and temperate men to unite in a move
ment to cOunteract it. A well-couduCted jour
nal devoted exclusively TO the advocacy of this
reform, will accomplish much; and we are glad
to learn that the american Guardian, by the
steady increase in its circulation, is contribut-
ing great deal to the good cause. This jour.
nal is large monthly quarto Of sixteen pages,
published at No. 25 N. Sixth street, and edited
by the Rev. John Moore, who is well known to
our citizens as an earnest advocate of the Tenn
perance cause. Its contents are both interest
ing and profitable.

house under the following circumstances:
Early this morning Mr.. Martin, residing at No.
l4S Dana street. heard rustling on his grapc
arbor, and there found Williamson attempting
10 get into the second-story window. Mr.. Mar
tin getting hold of Williamsons leg, soon
landed the latter on terra trina with such force
as to considerably bruise his face. He was i'm
mediately arrested, taken before the Mayor and
sent up for further hearing. williamson
stated that he had just been paid off from a
vessel lately arrived and had wasted all his
money on a "drunk, !" and while in this inebri-
ated state was unconscious of what he was
doing. He offered to give recommendation
from his captain, but such evidence availed
nothing under the present circumstances.

A FAMILY "sQUABBLE."-Henry Geisel is
an ageu German. He resides with his family, on
Ennis street. He is endowed with an excirable
temperament, which becomes more vicious
when influenced by certain liquors. Yesterday
he took little more than his ordinary allew-
ance, aud returning home found immediate
fault with everybody and everything. This
caused controversy between the aged Teuton
and his wife, which led to blows and finally to
an attempt on Geisel's part to terminate the
existence of his spouse. He was arrested by
Officer Cave, and Alderman Clouds held him in
$500 bail to answer at Court.
