ADDITIONAL Decentralization de-
tails of disasters by the recent storm came
to hand yesterday , from various quarters,
but we regret the particulars are very in
complete. As we anticipated, those on the
Canada shore of LAX Huron accumulate,
and it is now known that no less than nine
vessels are ashore along that coast and are
total loss The schooner C. G. Alvord,
Isded with corn and oats, is ashore and
partly filed with water. The Captain of
the last named vessel has arrived at De-
troit, and reports the schooner Fortune, of
Detroit, ashore and gone to pieces, some
thirty miles above Pigeon Islands. The
Aivord is ashore at the last named point.
The names of the other vessels ashore in
that locality were not ascertained, as our
informant passed along down that coast in
an open boat, and was unable to approach
near enough to ascertain their names. The
tug Metamors and steamer Magnet will
leave Immediately for the above points.
From Lake Superior we have accounts of
numerous disasters to the shipping on that
lake, but full particulars have not reached
US. The schooner Queen City is com
plete wreck, and the schooner Geo. Foote
will doubtless be saved. The schooner
Starlight ia reported to have sustained
more or less damage. but not of serious
character. Full particulars from that
quarter may be expected by the next
steamer, which is looked for to-day.
FRoMTHE Lower LAzKs Captain Dobbins,
of Buffalo, reports the sohooners J. c..
Wheeler, James Coleman, Ploughboy, and
Caroline, ashore on Long Point, Lake Onts-
rio The two first named will prove a to-

ply the boiler with water in case the engine
