The rise in tho river yesterday was very
slight; not more than a foot or SO. The
general surface Of the Ice was compare
lively dry and firm. Little or no Difficult.
ty was experienced in getting on or off,
and hundreds engaged in skating while
tho general public crossed and recrossed
as freely as ever, At night light rain
set in and continued almost without inter.
mission until morning. The steamboat.
men have their boats all cut out, and are
taking oil precautions to meet the emer.
gency successfully, notwithstanding the
mild weather and the rain. The ice ia
very solid, and II it breaks within a day or
two will rub things very hard and may do
considerable damage. There is more or
less anxiety about tho result, which will
continue to increase until the crisis is
passed. We will hope for the best.
