NoproLK, January 26.-The fleet of yes
sells and steamers ice-bound in the canals
and sounds will be released before the end
of the week and in port. The crews have
endeavored 10 employ themselves gun
n,ng for ducks and such game as could be
reached on shore, but as a general thing
with meagre luck. The generous thaw OF
the last three days has caused the ice to
disappear rapidly in this section, and only
patches OF the heavy snow are to be seen.
DELAYED STEAMERS.

running heavy. However. the Bav-Llne
