River and Weather.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 29.-The river
has risen four inches, with thirteen
feet three inches in the channel.
Weather clear in part. Thermometer
twenty degrees. Fpl
The weather continues cloudy and
cold, with light snow fakes flying in
the air. The mercury ranged about
twenty degrees above zero. The
river came to stand during Monday
night, and was falling yesterday.
The ice is scarcely so abundant in
front of the city as on Sunday and
Monday, which is probably attributa-
BILE to the difficulty of the large fields
passing the narrow passages at points
above. The ferry skiff had but little
difficulty in making it's trips yester-
day.
Arrivals and Departures.
We have neither arrival or depart
ure to record.
miscellaneous.
The ice gorge at Dutch Bend is be-
coming more and more formidable,
and at times on Monday the passage
was literally choked up and the ice
stopped for several minutes, and the
river below was for a considerable
distance entirely free from floating
ice, but the pressure above broke this
into many fields and set the mass
moving again. No boat is likely to
attempt its passage until the weather
softens. Business is of course entirely
dead on the wharf, and steamboatmen
and commission and forwarding agents
look gloomy and dissatisfied. They
must preserve their souls in patience,
and wait~the good time coming.
GIeanIngs from our Exchanges.
CINCINNATI.-The Commercial of
Monday says: 40
The cold weather during Saturday
night and yesterday made keen, light
ice, many of the fields extending from
shore to shore, rendering navigation
hazardous. The Coyington and New
port Ferries made occasional trips
yesterday, however. At Pittsburg, the
river is falling, with three feet in the
channel. Here, the river has receded
three inches during the past "a hours,
with II feet in the channel to Louis
