RIVER NEws,-Qniet reIgned yester.
day on the landing. Not an arrival or
departure have we to note, no doubt
because the river was closed over both
aboveand below the city. Last night,
however, the Ice gave way above and
came rushing down, making an ugly
noise to those who have large invest.
ments in steamb boats. The dispatches
from Plttshurg yesterday noon, report
five feet, ten inches In the channel at
that point, and rising. At Brownsville.
the Monongahela Is reported rising,
with line feet In the channel. we have
no report from the Allegheny. Last
night the marks here showed i've feet
and rising rapidly. We heard that a
dispatch was received last evening
stating that the Express was compelled
to lay up at Marietta, on her trip up,
on account OF heavy floating Ice. Capt,
Booth informed US that II It was posi-.
