Along both shores may be seen immense masses of ice pile on pile, to the elevation of some fifteen or twenty feet. The wharves are covered to a considerable height with large fragments, many of them nearly two feat thick, which can only be removed by the tide or rendered liquid by the sun. Immense quantities of lum ber may be seen scattered on the bosom of the river, which have been swept from the yards of different placas, between our landing and Albany. Yesterday num bers of persons were engaged in collecting these wrecks and conveying them to either shore. Our neighbors at the river have been in imminent danger, which it is feared is not yet wholly removed. Should the river become clear by the means of another freshet and the ice be carried over the docks, it is apprehended that that there will be a considerable destruction of property.
