The market has been quiet the past week,

have amounted to 1880 bushels, at prices
ranging from So to 2.4Q, the latter price being
tor choice article. Corn has been very scarce,

the bridge company, who propose to erect a
pier on the tow path on the north bank OF the
canal, for the purpose Of supporting the span
across the canal at that point. The O.. Il y.
Canal Company object to thisas an obstruction
to travel on their tow path, while the bridge
company claim the privilege, and have had all
TIE timber for the span cut accordingly The
superintendent of the Georgetown division OF
Of the Z. and u. Canal received peremptory
orders Saturday morning not to allow the
bridge company to proceed in constructing the
pier as intended, and the present indications
are that the completion of the bridge will be
delayed, unless some agreement Is made
The prospect is that navigation will be sus-
pended for the season. Ice is accommodating

RIVER News. Since Saturday morning the
river from here to considerable distance below
Mount Vernon mas been frozen over from shore
to shore, with the exception OF the tracks
made in it by the passing steamers; and this
morning some of the floating ice about the
wharves was at least three inches thick. Inc
Washington ferry boats continue to run regu-
larry, however, and as yet there has been no
interruption to the trips of either the Baltimore,
Philadelphia or New York steamers, though
at what day, all these lines may be stop
ped is, of course, unknown. The weather,
however, has moderated to-day, and from pre-
sent appearances the ice will not last long,

rived up last night but little after her usual
time. The Wawaset, from Cone river, with
heavy freight and many passengers, arrived up
about or o'clock, preceded by the steamer

the river to afford her any assistance that might
be desired. The steamer Columbia from Bald-

way up from Baltimore, yesterday, with large
freight and some passengers, was cut through
By the ice, and now lies sunk up to her guards
at Chapel Point. Her passengers came across
the country to Glymont, where they took the

SUNDAY AUCTION. Yesterday morning the
wife of Mr.. Robert Morris who lives near that
locality of the city known as Petersburg" went
on visit to some of her friends. Staying too
long, however, as the husband thought, that
gentleman became possessed of the demon OF
jealousy, and in order to revenge himself he
had all her clothes bundled up and sold at auc-
ton in his house-the purchasers being prin-
cipally the colored people who lived in The
neighborhood. In the evening when Mrs.
Morris returned, there was seen of course;
and this morning warrants were issued at the
Magistrate s office for the recovery of some Of
the articles sold.

THE CITY.-The merchants represent the
cold weather as having an untavorable effect on
both wholesale and retail business. The town
clock did not go on Sunday, the hour indicated
all day being 81 o'clock. The youngsters are
assiduously engaged in the purchase of skates,
while those OF an older growth and more money;
are having sleighs prepared, the first in antici-
patton ofcolder weather, and the latter of snow.
Owing to the state of the river, oysters are get
ting scarce and approaching in price. A Came
ron street window of the City Hotel restaurant
was smashed in Saturday night by brick
thrown by an unknown party, making the
second outrage of similar kind within a
week 5 time. The congregation at Christ Church
yesterday morning were dismissed after the
reading of the service, on occount OF the co
ness OF the building.

high prices in Washington in another column.
The National Intelligencer says:-"The old
days of cheap house-rent, cheap marketing,
and getting along comfortably on, a small
amount Of pay IN Washington, have long since
passed away. A house which before the war
could easily have been rented for some $500
viii now rent at 5000 or 81 900, and is not easy
to be had at even those figures. Rents are
enormous exceeding, we believe, the rents 10

SUSPENSION OF CANAL NAVIGATION
Navigation on both the Chesapeake and Ohio
and Alexandria Canals has been suspended for
the winter The ice at Williamsport on Sat
urday morning last was six inches thick, and is
proportiouately thick all the way down. Be-
tween now and the Goth instant the water will
be drawn off from the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal, and hands be at once set to work making
such necessary repairs as cannot be done during
the excessively cold and inclement weather Of
mid.winter During the winter it is the in
tention of the Board of Directors to put the
whole canal, from one end to the other, in
complete order, so that next spring the coal
trade may be furnished With every facility for
transportation. On Saturday night last the
stop boards were put in the Alexandria Canal
at this end of the Aqueduct, from which struc-
ture the water was let off, but the water In the
canal will be allowed to remain all the winter.

COMMENCEMENT OF THE SKATING SEASON.
The Canal, Hunting creek, and the Potomac

places for the many who are fond of the e1-

Some ladies were among the skaters, and from
the ease and gracefuness with which they
glided over the slippery Ice, it was apparent to
observers that they knew as much about what
they were doing as their gentlemen escorts 1t
is understood that a large number of ladies
will be on the canal basin this evening.
