The brig Harvey, bound for Buffalo, with a
cargo of slaves, met with disaster which resulted
in the loss of her bowsprit and head gear She has
been towed up 70 Clark = dry dock for repairs. We
have received no particulars as yet In regard to what
way she was injured
The L H CorrOS.-The new vessel built at Cisve-
land, and named L h Cotton, bark Tigged, made her
appearance at DICKS yesterday forenoon, having
on board a cargo OF eosl bound for Chicago. We
cannot how it is possible for wood and iron to he
put together in that shape in more thorough and
substantial manner. Shs is, without doubt, one Of
the ct fastened vessels aoat with fit out that in
every way compares with every other part Of the
ship. She is steered by one Of Sylvester's patent
wheels, ana her compasses are OF an entirely new
order in every resEect. She measures 39i tons
and IS built much after the model Of the Ravenna.
She Is awned BY Quayle & Martin, the builders at
Cleveland, and Captain L. II. Cotton who also COM
mands her Captain G. is one Of our veteran COM
maniers having navigated these western waters for

tons, both master and vessel, every success.

Tho Toledo Blade Of the 18th instant says:
| RATr Broken UP-We learned this morning that
the lasze raft OF ship timber recently taken from
this port, destined for Buffalo, was completely bro
/ ken up Saturday night below Kelly's Island
| The steamer Magnet had been chartered to tow
the raff 20 Buffalo, aud got along very wen until
shortly after leaving keys Island, Saturday afler-
/ noon. That might the wind commenced blowing
| from the N z. which destroyed the raft, and the
steamer returned TO the Island Yesterday afternoon,
having we'd only few pieces. It is posed that
the greater part OF the timber would sink bscom
ing detached from the light WOOc used as buoys, aud
the prospect Ofsaving any considerable portion Of it
| Ia extremely uniavOrable. The raft was owned by
heard estimated at $4,000 to $4,000.
p s. The above is the substance of report on the
street this morning. We learn this P. NJ. that the
timber has gone ashore nearly ai at one place. and
