Captain Boyton.— Captain Paul Boyton, according to American advices, has arrived at Cincinnati, having completed 620 miles of the 2300 which he has undertaken to accomplish in swimming from Alleghany to the Gulf in his buoyant dress. During his journey the water was extremely cold, and in many places he encountered much ice. On arrival at Cincinnati one of his hands was badly frozen, while his face was bruised and disfigured. He travels day and night, and feels confident of success. His last stretch on the water was of sixteen hours’ duration. Near Eipley he had a narrow escape. While avoiding an approaching steamer 'ahead, he was almost run into by the steamer Telegraph in the rear. He only stops at the principal cities en route, where he delivers lectures.
