Business was extremely dull yesterday, the heavy ice causing (great delay to boats, and the low stage of the, river aIso operating unfavorably.... The Quickstep had a light freight, but a good passenger trip.-. .....The Empire, six miles below Henderson, about 9 o'clock Wednesday nightt broke a wrist and knocked out the after head of her. larboard cylinder.

' - Business in the vicinity of the landing remains suspended, and ia likely to continue iu that way until we have a resumption of navigation. Several of the boats at the landing have the largest portion of their cargo on board., All of course are anxious to get away. The Yorktowu smcceeded in reachisg Glass-House and is laid up for milder weather and more water. Cincinxati. The Commercial of Wednesday says: The mammoth steamer Clara Dolsen, burned at St. Louis Mondav night, was built at Cincinnati, in January, 186L, by Capt. Wm. T. Dunning and A. P. Stewart, and then valued at $50,000. She was a large and excellent steamer, having capacity for 937 tons, Customhouse measurement. She was down South during the rebellion, and captured in White River by Admiral Davis' Mississippi squadron, while under command of Capt. Riley Jones, and afterward purchased by Capt. Geo. Pegram, who owned her when burned.. She was last valued at $28,000 There is no insurance on the Clara Dolsen in Cincinnati offices. " Louisville. The Courier of Wednesday says : The ice in the harbor yesterday was much less formidable than on the day previous, though there was a good deal of it. The Jeffersonville ferryboats were persistently making their regular trips y sterday, though very much delayed by the running ice. The Indiana. We have announced the arrival of the Indiana at New Orleans. In reference to her getting aground at Island No. 2, the V icksburg Times of the 31st' ult. has the following, by which it will be seen that Capt. Cannon expects to realize heavy salvage from the mishap. At 4 P. M., the Indiana, released from her dangerous situation, arrived at the wharf. To the casual observer she appeared perfectly straight and In good condition, but in reality she is badly used up. Fron, her officers and thue of the Robert E. Lee, wbi'jh "packet arrived some two hours af:er the Indiana, we learn that the latter vessel was formally abandoned by Capt. Reuben E. Neal at two o'clock yesterday morning, after having tried all means his skill and experience could suggest to effect her release without success. Informing Captain Cannon of his decision, the latter took charge "of the Indiana as an abandoned vessel, and assumed the direction of 'all subsequent efforts to save her. After removiogthe eutire deckload and a large quantity of freight from her hold, a good head of steam was gotten, and, dropping back some twenty feet, the Lee took a surge at her. The Indiana moved. Most any thing less than a mountain would have done the same thing. By working at her in this way, and using the Indiana's engines to loosen the accumulated sand and mud, with one tremendous effort the desired object was at last accomplished the boat saved. Captain Cannon then placed his mate, Captain Tom Henthorn, in command of the Indiana, to continue in that capacity until the last mentioned vessel reaches New Orleans. The Democrat says: .

A Good Speculation. The owners of the Robert. Lee- .will make fully 50,000 salvage on the Indiana. This is a good speculation, and will more than pay the owners of the Lee tor the trouble, time and expense that they have gone to. We have a better opinion of Capt. John Connor than to believe that he will thus attempt to thus speculate on the misfortunes of a fellow-steam-boatman. St. j Louis. The Democrat of Wednesday says: The weather continues remarkably mild, and has effected the ice in the harbor to such a degree, that its early departure is considered a foregone conclusion. The ferry boats butted off some of the corners yesterday. The boats were crowded as usual almost to suffocation. Crossing on the ice had almost entirely ceased last evening. . The river was slowly rising. Everybody agrees in predictinga clear river to Cairo on or before March 1st.
