: propeller that was Tightening a ship down
II the bay, had to be relieved of 1900 bags
Of salt, in order to keep her from sinking.
The gale lasted several hours and blew
down houses, roof and fences.
Several boats, including the Anna and
G. 7. Dumoat, are lying in the mouth of
t the Kentucky river.
The Wabash river is reported entirely
frozen up, and many steamers lying in 1t
e In a very critical situation, should 1t
{ break up suddenly.
. The trouble in Mobile about libeling
e steamers st that port, it seems, is to be
investigated by order Of the judge of the
Z. 3. district court at New Orleans. The
? boats were seized on the plea that the
J local inspectors at that point were not
= legally appointed. They have been act
Ing for the past year and a half.
, It is feared that the boats lying aground
! between st. Louis and Cairo, will ali be
destroyed when the gorges above are
broken up.
WeIearn that there Is now very little
trouble in navigating the lower Ohio.
The Silver Moon has got out TO Cairo and
will reach hete to-day, while the Darling,
Indiana and Cora s. will also be in port
about tomorrow night. Above the falls
the ice is still heavy and navigation 10
Cincinnati is precarious.
The river between 81. Louis and Cairo
is still gorged in two places. The weather
at present il not favorable to q breaking
up, as it thaws but little during the day
and the nights are very cOld-ice making
freely.
The Louisville Courier Of the 25th says
The river was falling very slowly yester-
/ DIV haraIp 2 fhahaa in OF hnrf~g Of tho
head Of the falls, and 9 inches at Port
land. In the canal there were 6 feet 3
inches water by the mark, and overt the
falls 4 feet 3 inches in the pass. The
weather vas cloudy and mOderatiug dur
ing the day, with the thermometer rang
ing at 80.
The st. Louis Times Of the 25th says:
The weather yesterday was damp and
chilly. At dark il was raining, n We
may now expect an immediate thaw, and
a high stage OF water. The river had
risen about u inches and is still rising
There is now nothing but the ice gOrges
below here to prevent an immediate re-
sumption Of navigation. We are inclined
to think that several boats will leave for
southern ports tomorrow.
The New Orleans PcayUHe says: We
were shown yesterday n lock which is
shortly to be introduced into general Use
by the board of supervising inspectors, for
the safety valves of all steamboats,. The
lock is a paddock, and is what is known
as ThompsOn's patent. With the excep-
ton Of different styleOf key, it is almost
entirely, if not entirely, similar to the
locks used by the internal revenue de-
partment for distllleries, etc. It is so ar
ranged that when locked a seal can bs
placed over the keyhOle, which will give
evidence of the slightest attempt to tam
per with it. The locked safety valves to
which these locks are to be attached, and
which were adopted at the last annual
meeting of the board Of supervising in
spectOrs of steam vessels held at Buffalo,
n. Y, in October last, will be probably
introduced in this district, by the last of
March or in the early part of April mex
The lock is furnished To the treasury de-
partment under contract, and vii! be fur
nished to steamboats, at five dollars each,
the actual cost to the government. There
is every reason to hspe that this addi-
tlonal guard placed over those who some z
times recklessly carry more steam than
the law allows, will prove vastly bene- {
hcial In its results. ?
