Collitled in EaSt River

NEW YORK. Nov 7.--Whilo the Clyde
steamship oneida. bound for Wilmington.
y. c.. with a general cargo was passing
down the East river this afternoon. the
Atlantic Line steamship Olive pulled out
from her pier at the foot of Congress
street. Brooklyn. and was swinging
around so as to head down the stream.
Owing 10 the strong current her bow was
swung against the forequarters Of the
oneida. buckiing several plates above the
water line and carrying away six or
eight feet OF the Oneida's rail and also
disarranging the steamers steering gear.
The Olive proceeded down the bay. but
was not reported as having passed out
side OF the Hook. and II Is supposed that
the CAPTAIN dropped anchor somewhere
down the bay. having ascertained that the
injuries 10 his vessel would prevent him
going 10 sea. The Oneida WAS put back
10 her pier.
