ST. LOUIS, November 3O.-The river
is falling, and is full of heavy ice, which
runs very slowly, and the probabilities
are that unless the weather moderates
greatly, the ice will gorge at Horse Tail
and close the river for the winter. 1t is

about the bridge-piers, and leave an
open harbor and q channel to Cairo for
light-draught boats. The weather to-
night shows some signs of mOderating,
but it is still freezing sharply.

unfortunate Of late, but being established

Whether the Little Rock was insured
or not we are unable to say, but presume
she can be easily raised.

be seen knocking away upon this once
