CITY BULLETIN.
The Rivers.— The Delaware is almost en
tirely blockaded with ice. Some of the cakes
which have come-down the river are upwards of
a foot in U. ickness.. It was with the greatest diffi
culty that the Camden ferry boats were able to ply
belween the two cities this morning. The chan
nel below the city is kept pretty well open by the
ice boat; but navigation by small craft Has totally
ceased. A few more such days as yesterday and
to-day, would bring the ice to such a condition
that it would be passable to Camden for pedes
trians. Some daring individuals have already
ventured out some distance from the wharves, and
this morning the ice was dotted here and there by
skaters.
The Schuylkill Is one sheet of ice as far as can be
seen from the Market Street Bridge. It is father
an unusual circumstance for the river to he frozen
over below .the dam, but to-day people are crossing
as far down as the Almshouse property. Above
the dam the ice dealers are busy gathering in the
frigid commodity, and in front of Fairmount Park
there is qntte a crowd of people engaged in skating,
sliding, and enjoying themselves generally.
The Thebhometee —The mercury still con
tinues down in the neighborhood of zero. Last
night was the coldest of thß season.? At German
town and Manaynnk the mercury got down to two
degrees above zero, and In some exposed points
went ddwi. to two or three degrees below. In the
city between midnight and daylight three above
was about the average figure. This morniug the
weather moderated considerably, and at noon the
thermometer denoted 18 degrees.

COURTS.
Supreme Court. JusticesThomnson, strong,?
Bead and Agnew.—Shipper et al. vs. The Penn
sylvania Railroad Company. This case which
comes from the Nisißrins, involves an important
question of interest to shippers of-freight: The
plaintiffs were commission merchants and dealers
in grain and flour, gjtizens of Pennsyiyania, and
IHIISMLY Ci ISULLIEf I3PJ t jFHILADiSLPHIA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19. 1864.
residents of Philadelphia. They owned a flour
ing mill in Wheeling, at which they ground gram
purchased by them in Ohio and the vicinity of
Wheeling, including Washington county, Fa.
They carried this flour and gram from, various
States of the Union by water to Pittsburgh, and
there delivered it to the defendants for transpor
tation to Philadelphia. The defendants’ toll
sheets on what they calledlocal freights from Pitts
burgh to Philadelphia, atfhat time, stipulated for
3Gc. per 100 lbs. on grain and flour, ana any per
son who owned grain in Pittsburgh, which had
come there from whatever quarter, if he declared
that it had changed hands there, or had - been
brought there by himself or any one else., without
tbe design of sending it over tbe road, was entitled
and was permitted to ship it from Pittsburgh to
Philadelphiaat3Gc. per 100 lbs., and thesamerate
was charged on all flour made at Pittsburgh, or
purchased there, and then shipped
The plaintiffs insisted they were entitled to have
their goods carried between ihe same places at the
same rates. On tbe trial in the court below, the
Judge (Woodward) told the jnry that if at the
time the plaintiffs sent the goods they were notified
a higher rate wonld be charged, they would he
bound to pay it, and could not. therefore, as they
sought to do, recover it back, andthatthe regula
tion of the company was not an illegal discrimina
tion.
In April, 1881, an act of Assembly was passed,
repealing the tonnage tax, and requiring the de
fendants to carry goods from city to city at the
rates then fixed by their local toll sheet.
In this toll sheet the rate for grain and flour was
fixed at 3f> cents.
The defendants accepted the act, and the plain
tiffs contended their goods were within the very
terms of tbe act regulating the freight. Tha Judge
thonght they were not, inasmuch as the goods were
neither the growth nor manufacture of the
State. The rates demanded being flfty-nine
cents per one bundTed pounds, and sometimes
much higher were paid, under an agreement that
such payment should not debar the plaintiffs from
recovering back any part which was not legally
demandable by the Company.
On the tTial, in the Court below, under the in
structions of the presiding Judge, the jury lonnd a
verdict for defendants, upon which the case was
taken to the.Snpreme Court. The argument was
not concluded this morning.
Nisi Fbujs—Chier Jnstice Woodward. —Eidridge
vs. Cochran. Still on trial.
New Oeleans, Feb., 10, 1864.—About one
o’clock this morning the steamboat Sally
Robinson was bailed from the west shore of
the Mississippi, when about ten miles from
Donaldsonville, on her way to this city. The
night was dark and foggy, and the captain, sus--
pectiDg that all was not right, "stood off towards
the other side. This was no sooner perceived
by the enemy than they opened upon her with
artillery. The boat was fortunately a consider
able distance off at the time, so that only one
or two shots were fired, and these passed OTer
her.
It is also reported that abont the same hour
on Monday morning a party attempted to board
the Meteor. . She was hailed near the same
place, and supposing some passengers wished
to embark, she went in towards shore; but a
number of men appearing upon the bank, and,
rushing forward, attempted to get on board be
fore the gang plank was lowered, they were sus
pected to be guerillas, and the Meteor was then
started for the centre of the river. She was not
fired upon.
"When the Sally Robinson arrived at Donald
sonville onr troops stated that they expected
an attack from the enemy, who were reported
to be in the neighborhood.
Yesterday a small boat was picked np in Lake
Pontchartrain bv the steamer Battle, while on
her way to this city»rom MadisonriUe. In the
boat, there were five men, two of whom were
surgeons in the rebel army. They were making
for Mandeville when overhauled, and when they
saw that escape was impossible they com
menced throwing overboard everything they
thought might be of value to ns—letters, sur
gical instrument*. and even bottles of brandy.
This only gave the crew of the Battle a little
extra trouble, however; for everything was
picked up again.
Yesterday, Shrove Tuesday, or Hardi Gras,
as it is called in this city, was well observed.
Persons in carriages, on horseback and afoot,
dressed and masked most curiously, were every
where. In the evening masquerade balls and
parties were in every public building, and
many a private dwelling in New- Orleans was
merrier yesterday than at any time previous for
three long years. Crowds thronged the streets
to witness the masquers and their strange
antics, all appearing joyful and happy; and it
seemed as if old times had come again to this
beautiful city.
Yesterday Brigadier-General A. L. Lee,
Chief of Cavalry,, reviewed the Ist cavalry
division at Greenville.
New Orleans Feb. 11, 1864.—There was a
large meeting last night in Lafayette Square,
to ratify, the nomination of Hon. Michael Hahn
and the free State ticket. Speeches were
made by Messrs. Hahn, Swift, Atocha, Collins
and Shannon. There are now three candidates
in the field—Hon. Michael Hahn, Hon. B. F.
Flanders and Hon. Christian Berelius.
The Baton Bonge Gazette learns from a resi
dent of Point Conpee parish that nearly a mile
of Grand.levee has recently fallen into the Mis
sissippi river. This levee has heretofore pro
tected all of Southwestern Louisiana from
overflow. The levees foriome distanceabove
and below Baton Bonge are also represented as
sadly out of repair, and there is a general ap
prehension that when the spring rise comes, an
overflow of all the lowlands of the State will
ensue.
[Correspondence of the New Orleans Times.)
6rr Mobile, Thursday, Feb. 4,1864. —0 n
the 9th nit. a steamer was discovered on shore,
directly under the guns of Fort Morgan. All
reasonable efforts were made to destroy of in
jure her, which resulted, we afterwards learned,
in damage to her engine, though she was
towed off by a rebel steamer.
On a portion of the 31st nit., and until the
morning of the 2d inst., the entire fleet was en
veloped in a dense fog. On the 2d the fog
lifted, and at daylight a long, low and very
sharp steamer was discovered on shoro, a mile
eastward of the fort. The Octorora, Sebago,
"Kennebec and Albatros stood in and fired upon
her, some shots taking effect. The steamer
was apparently discharged, the beach, being
covered with cotton.
After the fleet, in firing at the steamer, had
approached within very easy raDge, and were
coming suspiciously near a rebel gunboat,
which had the hardihood to look outside of
Fort Morgan, that useful ally of Jeff. Davis
skedaddled behind the fort, and old Morgan
commenced pitching shot all around ns, Sit
ting no one, however, under which fire the
vessels eventually Withdrew; hot, however,
till many shots had been returned by all—the
Sebago and Octorora gallantly and defiantly,
with their splendid tParrots, sending shell into
and all around the fort and the steamer.
The Kennebec and Albatros remained with
in range Of the guns of the fort, firing on the
steamer, but did not receive so much attention
as the Octarora and Sebago, the former being
the favorite target of the jrebs. The steamer
Denbigh is apparently a (hopeless wreck, and
high upon the beach. Our shell probably gave
her the finishing stroke.
The Mobile Register, of Feb. 4th, states that
the steamship Denbigh, which recently at
tempted to run the blockade, but got aground
and was fired upon by the blockaders, is again
afloat and but little injured.

[From the Picayune, Feb. 11. ]
_A gentleman from Mantamoras, of foreign
birth, hut a citizen of Mexico by adoption, who
is now here, having arrived only four days ago,
informs, ns that Cortina has as yet not declared
in favor of intervention, but only his indepen
dence of the authority of Juarez, who had
ejected him to withdraw in favor of Rniz. It
is likely that Cortina will either await the ap
proach of the French, who are constantly
expected, and then capitulate on terms, or
retire up the river and make his way into
Coahuila, and thence into Chihuahua. In the
meantime he is feathering his nest. If he can
receive a guarantee against arrest for his old
offences on" the Texas side, he will probably
prefer the ferry at Brownsville.

German volunteer regiments from New York,
was taken into custody yesterday by one of-the
Government detectives attached'to the office of
Provost Marshal General Hays. The order for
the apprehension of the Prince emanated from
the headquarters of General Dir. Among the
charges preferred against the Prince are that

and raising funds from verdant young officers
desirous of obtaining commissions in the same
regiment.

Tnm liatipy to add my testimony to the greA

three bottles of which restored my Hair, which
was very gray, to its original dark color, and the
hue appears to be permanent. I am satisfied that
the preparation is nothing like a dye, hut operates
upon the secretions. It is also a beautiful Hair
dressing. I purchased the first bottle from Mr.

who can also testify my hair was very gray, when
