TowNsENp's Ice. .BREAKER.-In the absence
of any direct communication by Railroad with
Albany, the shutting up of the Hudson by ice,
while the Railroad communication from Boston
to Albany, and thence by uninterrupted chain
to Buffalo continues open, is cause Of Sc.
rious loss and Inconvenience toour citizens. Time
and again have we talked of keeping open the
Hudson by some powerful Icc.b breaker, and still
we talk when the freezing season approaches, and
seem likely to end in talking.


Yet we hope it will not be SO. Mr.. Townsend,
who mas Invented and patented the best plan Of
an Ice, Breaker. is again commencing i; to the
attention of our foremost business n.cn. Tho
whole cost of thorough experiment can be re-
auced, we hear, 10 $25,00O. The best lnechan-
les in oar City say the plan is feasible. Then
why not put it in operation at once1 Twenty or
thirty of our great mercantile houses could do it
without feeling the cost, greatly to their own
profit and the public convenience. We heartily
hope it may 60 ahead at oace.


p The Wings of CosNscTIcuT hold Con.
yention on the 18th of Deces,berfor the nomiua-
ton of State Officers. They viii elect them too,
on the first Monday in April.
