A BLACKMAILING OrERATION.—A few days since, two men purchased five gallons of whisky from a Water-ttreet saloon keeper, and soon after returned and stated that as he (the propri- etor of the saloon) had omitted to put a revenue stamp on the keg containing the liquor, he was Hable to a fine of $200, and that they, as inform. ers, were entitled wnder the law to one-half that sum. They expressed their determination of preceeding against him for a violation of the Tevenne laws, unless he would compromise—say for $100. The victim, understanding if he was arr sted he would be fined $200, finally acceded to their demand. The blackmaiters engaged in this nefarious business are not United States officials, but a few loafers who haye entered into this keheme for the purpose of “raising the wind.” .

The stock of the latter on hand is light, it now being near the end of the season for receipts, and the demand is much greater than the supply. ‘The prices in this market are now about as high as those in other cities. No wheat was offered on ’Change to-day. THE River aNp CANAL froze over again Jast night. but the ice is not of sufficient thickness to interfere materially with navigation. ALEXANDRIA. ‘Tux LATS Freeze.—It is said by some that the closing of the river by ice during the late freeze occurred earlier in the season than was ever before known, but a gentleman who was born on the 25th of November, 1831, says that on the night of that day the Potomac was frozen over from shore toshore, opposite this city.
