DISASTER. - The Chicago Press, of the 15th, says-- The brig ROBERT HOLLISTER from Grand River, while entering the harbor, yesterday morning, struck the north pier near the light house. The sea was running high and the wind blowing a gale at the time. Two schooners were coming in at the same moment, and the brig being close hauled to avoid running into them, she broached to and gave the pier a hard bump. The vessel had her bulwarks on her starboard bow stove in even with the deck, broke off two of her staunchions, and injured some of her head-rigging.
