The weather ON Saturday morning as
sumed a rather doubtful aspect, being.
cloudy and moderately cold. About IL
o'clock there commenced falling a mix
ture of rain and sleet. The river was fall
ing pretty fast, but Is. not as low as we had
been led to suppose; The Cairo packet
pilots assure US there is fully depth of 8
feet on the shoalest bars to Cairo, and, by a
careful examination OF the marks here, we
coincide in their views. The wind, Satur-
day morning, was from the East, and blew
the ice all to the Kentucky shore, leaving
our harbor clear. fB5 90 A0i'i}2N

a careful glance at the river Saturday
morning, 5 induced us Ito 2 beIieve that a
gorge had been formed above, and that
navigation would be uninterrupted hence
to Cairo, but better examination led to
the belief that the1m PROVEN emit was solely
local. The wind blew steady from the
northeast, and drove all the ice to the
Kentucky shore, where it was Very thick
and heavy. 4Abovelthe point, we are told
by Capt. 4.aMothe, 5 thed whole river is
crowded with heavy ice, and the same
state of things exist below the point 1t is
reported that there is gorge at irish
