A rise of about four feet since yesterday morning is by current being blocked at St. Loun. Ice cutting commenced to-day in Alton Harbor, 800 men having been taken over this morning on the Eagle. This is merely preliminary to work on a larger scale should tho weather continue favorable.

The ice blocked opposite this point about 11 o'clock this morning. The Bagle managed to escape being caught in the ice when it stopped, and sought refuge in the sohute. A party of men under the direction of Capt. Foster laid a bridge of boards on the ice this afternoon, commencing just above the Eagle packet warehouse, in order to obviate danger in crossing until the ice solidifiei. This "bridge 1 did not need a "charter." LATEK The ioe gorge broke about 3 o'clock and the "bridge," which bad been laid about half way across tho river carried away.

Fortunately all the workmen made their way safe to the snore, one having first fallen in the water while engaged in laying the boards on the insecure ice. The writer some weeki ago in a series of four letters briefly described a summer cruise of 07 days from Capo Town to New York, i the Auitrian barque Uebecea; so now hn aim Is to give, by means chiefly of extracts from a lag he has kept of various cruises, some idea of the outward voyage made at a season of the year when, as a rule, breezes were fresh and gales both frequent aud strong. The resiel on which tho trip was made was the English Clipper barque "Queen of the Seas," 482 tons, Captain Henry Haveron. The hull of this clipper was like that of the famous yacht America than any other craft I have ever seen. may be remembered by some readers that the America was bought by the Government and held at the U.

Her masti had a beautiful rake and she could spread a tremendous expanse of canvass for her size. For 25 years she has made the fastest outward and homeward pus- and from the Cape of Good Hope, and her record has yet to be beaten. She is well worthy of her name and sails like a witch, but" is very lively in asea way.

The "Queen of the Sean" left New York harbor Sunday morning, April 20, at 10 o'clock, in tow of tug, which wai east off at one in the afternoon and the barque proceeded on her voyage. Her crew consisted of the Captain, two mates, a Chinese cook and steward, and seven men and boy before the mast. The writer wasjlhe only passenger. Nothing worthy of note occurred until the second day out when entering the Gulf ctream late in the afternoon a heavy squall struck the ship carrying away the and parting khe fore royal sheet.
