RIVERS AND WEATHER AT Cincin-
natl, says q dispatch of yesterday,
the ice In the river in front of the
city broke loose about loon, carrying
between twenty and thirty coal bsrges
with il, and formed a gorge in the bend
bsiow the city, pillng the barges one upon
the other. There were about fifty bsrges
lying between freeman street and Mill
creek, n it is quite probable that s large
portion Of them will bs taken sWGy by
the ice. It is the opinion OF river msn
that the gorge will break about dark, car
rying everything with it. The stesmer
Wsu&nits WAS sunk at Fulton, and the
trestle- work of the Newport railroad
bridge was also torn away. Later
The Ice in the river commenced
to move at eight O'Clock this morning, and
at three O'Clock in the afternoon the LAST
gorge went out, leaving the river open.
There was no damage lone at tho wharf
in the city. The Wsnanita was cut down
at the Miami railway depot. She sunk
in ten feet VISITOR, and it is thought she
will turn over. Several coal barg6s have
been sunk.--...The river hero rose four
inches, at Cincinnati, two feet three in
ches, at Louisville, five inches, and de-
clined even inches at V~ieksburg and one
inch at Shreveport, stationary at Louis
Vile, no report from st, Louis. The
weather here was clear and pleasant, gem
orally fair and cloudy. Dispatches below
