THE WEATHER AND THE RIyER.-!There
ia no change to note in the condition of the
river since yesterday, the ice extending
from shore to shore as far as the eye can
reach, and, in fact, as far down as has Teen
heard from. The ice, of course, grows
thicker aud thicker each night, aud is al
most as hard as flint. There is no talk Of
any of the steamers resuming their trips,
and even if warm spell were to set in it
would be some time before navigation could
be resumed, as the ice now measures from
four to eight inches in thickness. The
Philadelphia steamer Norfolk, due here last
Monday, arrived at Baltimore yesterday
and arrangements are now being made to
shift her freight to this city by rail. Moth
ing has yet been heard from the New York
steamer, nor is it known whether the tugs
Annie and Erhman, which left here on
Thursday last, have reached Baltimore.
