to the tomahawk of the ruthless Indians,

that we hoped ere now to have heard of
some measures being taken for their secu

that oilr hopes have been vain. Tno fault
lies somewhere : it ouflfht to be redressed.

In dSfts^quence the thaw which
comiY^bced' on Friday* followed hy

The iv4\?
towcver stopped moving in
abool twenty minutes.
At about two o'clock in the after
noon, during which time the w ater
hail been continually anil rapidly
$ rising, the ice again started and was
hurried down the str am with tre
mendous force aud rabidity. At four
o*clork i!ie water had risen in the
-lower part of the tow ntix-an alarming
height* The low er parts of Patroon,
Columbia, Hteuben. Stale. Hudson,
Hamilton, and Lydius-street?, and
Maiden Lane, were deluged for sev
eral rods; 4^tray and iiock- -streets;
were impassable, even w ith boats, \p
consequence of the ice, and for fifty
rfods in ?k>utii Market -street, the wa
ter was several feet deep, and in
tnohy places the current extensively
rapid*
During a considerable period, the
?cene was terrible almost beyond de
scription. But few boats could be
obtained to render assistance; the
cellar* ami lower stories of houses
W ere fdled with w ater, and females
tvewyseen in various directions, look
ing'with trembling anxiety from the
windows, and crying for succour*
\Ve have not heard that any lives,
were lost, although^*? considerable
nuntber of wood buildings Itavfe been
finished to pieces, and some of them
hurried with irresfetable force, dowfi
the impetuous torrent, 7 About one
third of Mr. Gibson's market, at the
uPl)eT I,ar* ^ bjwiij was swept
away; An extensive lumber vard 111
the Colonic, was greatly injured, and
a number of buildings at that place,
occupied by stone cutters and black
smith** Tver* entirely destroyed.?
Also ? slaughter-house, . belonging to
Mr* fcnnikut, containing har
iV-ls prime beef, for the nfivy \ all of
which was lost.
We have not had tiirte ib learn
particular* of the extent of the dam
tages4 or tlie amount of the losses
' sustained ; but thev must l>e Very
great-^It has been impossible to have
any communication with Greenbush
(opposite thi# city*) but we perceived
that several Wilding* were either
crushed to pieces* or greatly injured.
One very hirge store in particular, \vc
observed was moved from it* scite, and
turned completely' rounds ? Tlie icc
is piled like mountains upon our
docks* v .
At Hchenectady, we learn that
considerable damage was sustained,
in consequence of the rising of the
Mohawk* JyTL'heitiliaa been a rumor
that the splendid Bridge at that place
was destroyed* hut this report we be*
lievo to he without foundation. A
large two story housed, situatwl near
the river* Jcaru was burnt, in
consequence o$tltf water communis
eating to a quantity* of unslackcd <
lime in the lowest shiryi
? We have heard of no damage up
on the Hudson, ahove this city, al
though many planks and iKiard# were
discovered in- the ice, and we observ
ed a small building near the middle,
of the liver, floating down the cur*
rent. The ice stopped at six o'clock ; j
but when this paper ^ftpt to rw-,
the water continued muig.
During the eonfitsion a%d alarm
Which? Wiqnently prevails on these
oc r^H&>ns, a siugnl.ir instance of pre
servation occurred* In one of the
in which the water was rush*
ing in powerful torrenta, a woman
anxious for her safety, effected her
eacape after several attempts. Hho
had hardly readied her place of safe
ty* tvhen ahe recollected that Itfr in
fant had been left ahimbering in the
cradle, in the room from which tohe
had just escaped ; terrified atfd al
most dhltf acted, the distressed and
anxious mother returned with the
! view of rescuring the child ; the Wa
ter had filled the room, and the cra
dle floating on a cake <if foe* found
its way down the current to a place
of nsft'ty : and where> *c nestling cu
rious, there the infant lay" unhurt.
The sudden dissolution of a body
of ice rto extensive ; the swelling of
the rivers ; and rushing of the Impe
t tuous torrents ; presented toother a
picture awfully ^rsnd and impressive,
