visions, with which Captain ford supplied her. She
had experienced very heavy weather had been on the
coast close to the Highlands Of Nevisink FIVE times,
but was obliged tn put to again in consequence OF
not being able TO find pilot. During the gale OF Sun
day the 18th inst che lost fore and main yard and had
her sas all tom to shreds. Eight Of her crew were

Of provisions water and fuel. or her whole number
of men not than three or four were fit for duty,
and there were not sufficient TO bend sail on the vessel
The CAPTAIN of the Princess Louisa said they had been
out of water 81 days, and were obliged to suosst on
-four blended with salt water. He had been lO7 days
out at the time Capt Clifford met him, and had left
Cadiz for Ney.York with cargo Of salt and wine. IL
appears, however that their wine was used after the
supply of water failed and that there was but very
small quantity of it board. The hull of the Princess
Lisa was in good condition. and although subject to
rough weather had not leaked any during the passage
lie desired Captain Clifford on his arrival in port, to
report his condition and procure assistance as it would
be impossible without it to reach port If something
is not done soon it viii be impossible for him or his
men to exist more than week in their present desi'
ute state Az i is about five days since Capt. Clifford
fell in with her. he thinks they m,y be found about 200
miles southeast Of the Highlands.

The STEAMSHIP BLACK WARRIOR.
Tie steamship Black Warrior, from New-0reans
via Havana is considerably overdue at this port, her
owners having been anticipating her arrival since the
18th int. She had not been heard of w,en we went
10 press and her absence is the Of considerable
anxiety to the owners and those otherwise interested

TnE FERRIrs.-The boats Of Catharine, Roose-
welt and Fulton Ferries running pretty regularly
Yesterday. One boat was also kept running on Wall
street Ferry and two on South Ferry, but Hamilton
avenue Ferry still remains closed. II is stated that ice
has accumulated in many places on the Brooklyn side
10 the thickness of four 10 five feet. Peok-sIp boats
TO Wiiamsburgh were running hslf-hour trips yester
dav. The Jersey City boats kept up their regular
trips; also the Barcsy-street feryboats to Hoboken
but no boats were plying on either Canal-street or
Chris.opher.strcet Ferries. The fery-bosts to and
from the east eide of Staten Island have considerable
difficulty in pushing th cir way through the masses OF
ice which they have to encounter, although they take
very circutous route for that purpose. From Bed
low ard Ellss Islands to the jersey shore il is one
sheet Of smooth ice.
About O'Clock Yesterday morning, the vicinity OF
Pier No. / North River was thrown into a state OF
Great excitement BY crash, if caused by earth
quake arising from the partial demolition of the e1-
tensve pier referred TO, used by the camden anu
Amboy Railroad and Steamboat Line, by the floating
ice pressing against it during food tide Ice, cake
upon cake had become frozen together, until masses
from eight to ten feet high swept along upon the
surface ofthe water by strong tide and came against
the pier with force which it could not withstand, not
withstanding the immense piles upon which It 10 con-
siructed Not only we're many of these plea knocked
ABIDE Ike as many pipe stems, but the entire plank
yay of the pier was drive from six to eight feet from rs
former position, ar the massive props which support
The roof were either shattered to pieces or thrown out
Of line In one place, the south side nco'ure was
knocked in and about 20 tuns Of ice cast upon the
pier.
The steamer John Potter, lying by the sice Of tbs
pier at the time had large hole made in one side o.
the ice while che was much damaged on the other
SIDE by being forced BY the ice against the pier she
lifted 10 the high. Of two feat out ofthe water, and
Rad her hull been less shelving in model than 1t Is,
there Is every to believe that she would have
been completely crushed 20 pieces. After stopping up
the hole made by the ice ond making other repairs to
the steamer, she was yesterday removed 10 Pier No
