MARINE ITEMs.-The shipping business at Chi

business The brig sabastOpoI and schooner

with cargOes.

The steamers from sandusky to the islands are

In connection with the foreign lumber and slave
trade Of the lakes, the Detroit Tribune has the fol-
lowing letter to shipper Of that port;
LIVERPOOL, 18th February, 1860.
DEAR SIR:-The lumber market is more active,
and the prospects encouraging. Prices have ad-
vanced considerably for square timber and deals, and
with great prosperity in the manufacturing dis
tricts, we look TO see this improvement fully main
tanned The old stock ofWalnut is nearly exhaust
ed, and fresh supplies will come to a good market
1t should be shipped in the log, square shape, or
If IN pla1ks not TO be less than Gas inches
thick, and as wide and as long as possible
Slaves continue in good demand, and for stand-
ards which have been so long neglected, there is
at least sor1e enquiry. The most suitable timber
cargo for this market should consist OF limited
quantity Of good sound oak in the log, and the
larger the better-Walnut, as above described and
to fill up with Slaves, some Oak planks 3a6 inches
thick, and few Hickory butts Of second growth.
There has been more lumber and slaves got out
In Michigan during the past season than in any one
previous year. The Tribune thinks the lake bust
ness will be so good during this season that there
will be no necessity for merchants and ship owners
to send their vessels to foreign ports to procure EN-
ployment as was done by many last year.
The 0sWego Times says Of the Northern Trans
p p)r. alton Compa4y: "This enterprising Company
intend to put the twelve propellers OF the line on
their routes about the 10th OF April. propeller
will leave 0swego daily for Lake Erie, three times
a week for Chicago. The 18th propeller now build
ing at Cleveland, will be launched about the lst of
June and will take the place Of the Lady Of the
Lake, lost on Lake Erie last Spring"
The two light houses at this port on the hill and
the government pier were lighted for the first time
on Thursday night.
The Erie True American says that one vessel has
cleared from that port for Ashtabula.
