The ice embargo in the river above and
below this city continues formidable at pres
emit, and the chances for vessels to work their
way out from IIallowell or Gardiner looks
rather dubious; and the last hope for few
lays more Of warm weather manifestly grows
fainter and fainter as the cold nights succeed
zach other. The coal-aden vessel at this
pert finished discharging on Thursday morn
ing, but still remains at the wharf waiting for
wind, water and steam to proceed seward.
There are several vessels in Gardiner in the
same fix.
There is a prospect of having several new
streets laid out in the city, bringing into mar
ket eligible house lots now in great demand.

sengers across the river. He has numerous
patrons about this time. The captains OF
embargoed vessels are of the opinion that he
has treated them in a manner rather cool for
the season.
Those fortunate enough to own horses have

CUBAN DIFFICULTY.

Kingston, Jamaica, Is. Great excitement
prevails in Kingston over the capture of the
steamer Virginins, which LETT this island with
consular and custom house clearances for
Simon bay. Costa Rica. SO far as is actually
known in Jamaica the circumstances and To-
cality of the Viginius surrender is not
known, as no kilograms to or from this colo
ny to Santiago relating to this subject have
been permitted to pass out of the telegraph
Office there. We only know from a telegram
from the governor of Santiago addressed to
the Spanish consul in Kings ton that the Nir-
gnius had been captured on the 3l,t of o It.
and on the 9th of Nov. the leaders Of the eX-
petition, Ryan, De Sal, Cespedes and Vero-
ma, were shot. Every effort to elicit the fact
through the cable have proved abortve.
There was no concealment made of the actual
errand of the Virgnius while she was here.
1t was notorious that the officers had parties
on board and public meetings were held in
honor of Cuban independence, at which the
consignee of the Virginus occupied the chair.
The steamer was repaired while in port and
coaled at the expense of Cuban refugees. The
Virginus first attempted to effect landing
on the Goth of October, three days after she
left Kingston. She was driven off by he
Spanish troops and chlsed by Spanish
frigate but escaped and reached Port an
Prince on the 9th.
