DAMAGE BY ICE IN THE EAST RIVER.

The sinking of the schooner Haze by the ice jam
of Sunday in front of the docks of the New-Haven
Steamboat COMPANY mas been the cause of much
ANNOYANCE to the latter. One of the employees said
to a TRIBUNE reporter 1--WE have three berths-
north side of Pier No. % the narrow dock between
Piers Nos 26 and 20 and the south side of Pier No.
% The schooner sank so unfortunately that she
not only blOckades the Continental but
also impedes exit and entrance at the
north side of Pier No. 2G. We transferred
the freight and passengers of the C0ntl-
mental to the New-Eaven another of our boats,
and the incoming boat, the Elm City, is dOckcd on
the south side of Pier No. 25. The schooner was
from Perth Amboy, and belonged TO the Pennsyl va
mia Central, who have arranged with a wrecl;lng
company that will III all probability raise the Haze
Tomorrow"
On the deck of the Continental at the forward
gangway there was a knot of men looking at the
sch0oner whose bOoms were just visible above IT,.
water at dead low tide. One of them explained
TO the reporter that it was not regular ice i'll the
river but ice from the esey Flats that had done the
mischief "YOu may guess" said he, what
power it had when tell You that il tore the hawse-
pipe out OF the Jabez HOweS, that was docked be-
tween Piers No. 27 and IS The ship instead of
being fastened with hemp hawser, was moored
with the chain cable of her best bower anchor
The chain cable couldn't part, and so dragged the
whole hawsc-pipe out of her"
And what's become of the ice?' asked the re-
some went up the Sound. and some lodged in
the Hook and some stranded on Blackwells Island,
and some got broke up about Hell Gate. Nothing
of il. TO speak of, came down the East River
