RIVER NAws The steamer Express, for
Baltimore, lett here this morning, without,
however, taking any passengers for the river
landings, in cons quence Of the uncertainty OF
her making those landings. The Wawaset
was to have resumed her regular trip to Cone
River this morniog, and several persons who
were on the wharf waiting to take passage in
her, we're very much disappointed at her non
arrival from Washington. The steam tugs
brought up last night and this III rning, several
vessels which had been caught in the ice be
low-among them the schooner Isaac Van
Zant, of Baltimore, bound 10 Washing on with
a load of lumber, which had been cut throush
by the ice and sunk near Indian Head. Among
the vessels towed up last night, were two boats
with full oargoes of oysters. The Kennebec,
which LETT here on Wednesday evening last,
for Baltimore, will proceed thence to Whining
ton, Delaware, where she will be hauld up on
the ways and thoroughly repaired tor next
summer operations. The Washington ferry
was again completely closed to-day, but the
AQUA Greek boats made their trips as usual.
