built around her bow which protected her
from the ice, but her wheels suffered badly.
........,The iron sheeting of the Louisville

badly broken 1.-THE Increased weight of
ice and cold weather deferred the Orr from

willows and take refuge below the dry
dock, where she will have a safe harbor. ....

Glasgow and Mississippi, from Cairo, and
the Charmer, from Paducah, were expected,
and probably arrived, last night Steam

CINoINNATI.-The Commercial OF Wednes-
day says: #te3Ie 4ur
The weather was cold and cloudy yester-
day, with high wind during the morning,
and little snow, the mercury ranging at
So at noon The indications dispel all
hopes of q speedy resumption of nav1ga-
ton. The running ice in the river was
heavier and appears to have increased in
quantity. The Newport and Covington
ferry boats are making regular trips. At
Pittsburgh, the river is falling, with 80
feet in the channel. Here, the river has
receded inches during the past n hours,
with IL feet hence to Louisville.
Capt. E. Eugene Bowers, of the Robert
Burns, arrived from Cairo yesterday, the
Burns having laid up at that point. -r..
Capt. John Wherry passed through the
city yesterday, en- route from Pittsburg
to st. Louis. He has retired from the riv-

Maysville to-day, as announced All the
steamers at the levee are laying quiet,
waiting for moderate weather.
LoUrsvLLE.-The Courier of Wednesday
says: -aest - 99 II poE -'F'.
The River was falling very slowly yester-
day, with five feet six inches water in the
canal in the evening. During the previous
twenty -four hours 1t had fallen but two
inches at the head of the falls, and six
lu.
ues mild for the season, and was cloudy
yesterday, threatening a storm, with the
thermometer at noon at SO. The barome-
ter indicated falling weather" ih
On the falls last evening there We're SO
feet water IN the pass down the Indian
chute, and falling.
The river continues full OF masses of
floating ice, which is great implement
to navigation, particularly above the falls;
but the Lower Ohio Is open and compare
lively free and unobstructed, though filled
with ice. N
Navigation is open, though somewhat
hazardous and damaging to water wheels
and side-houses;" Notwithstanding which
the steamer WestmoreIand, from New
Orleans, and the Clifton, from Memphis,
arrived all safe yesterday, and We're work
ing their way up through the canal last
evening.
WORCESTERSHIRE sam of the sth says of
the Wabash: E ft HsaH
The river is again clear of ice, and our
friend Sam. Hanes, owner of the ferries, is
plying his vocation with his usual alac-
rity. So the blockade may be considered
raised until the next freeze. t
ST. LoUIs.-The Democrat, of Wednesday,
says:
The river was rising, but departures ex-
pect to find less than five and a half feet
water to Cairo. The swell Is understood 10

and the wind came last evening peasant

Lower Mississippi remain without altera-
ton and are somewhat abundant. II we
can have navigation few days from
Quincy, the stock of produce will be great
ly enlarged. There is sufficient at quincy
alone to load two steamers. One boat,
probably two or three, started up yester-

Mr.. Wingate, carpenter of the. steamer

when the board against which he leaned

on the piLman catching his neck, dragged
him between the machinery and the bulk
