CoLLIsIoN.-The propeller Free State, of
the W. T. Co., collided on the st. Clair
River last Thursday night. She has re-
turned to Detroit, leaking badly, with some
of her cargo wet. She was bound from that
port to Chicago, and was laden with mer-
chandise.

ashore at Wellington, laden with peas, was
lowed into Kingston recently. Part of her
cargo, 200 bushels, was sold in a damaged
condition.

at Cooks dock, at Oswego, has been got

ashore at Port Elgin, Lake Huron, with a
cargo of grain. The schooner KelPie, lum-
ber-laden, is ashore at the mouth of Muske-
gon river, on the east shore of Lake Michi-
gan. The schooner Phoebe Catharine, with
a cargo of salt from 0swego to Wellington,
lies on the north shore in a precarious con-
dition. The information published a day
or two since to the effect that the Detroit
and Milwaukee Railway Company's steam
er Milwaukee was ashore near Grand Haven,
proves to be more serious than at first re-
ported. Finding that she was hard ground,
and in order to save her from going to pieces,
her officers scuttled and sunk her. At last
accounts she lay almost wholly submerged,
but should the weather prove favorable, she
will soon be raised.
The propeller Maylower, bound down,
with a cargo of corn, ran on Peach Island,
on Wednesday night, and shortly after get
ting liberated, was run ashore this side of
the light at the head of the Detroit river,
with her bows out and stern sunk in deep
water.
MIScELLANEous--Tho bark p G. Shor-
man had her head stove in and head-gear
carried away, from some unknown cause,
and lies anchored in Lake Huron, above the
head Of St. Clair river. The barge Expert
ment lies this side of Port Huron, with
some sixty feet of her side broken in. The
brig Andes, with a cargo of coal, is in
Washington Harbor, Lake Michigan, hav-
ing sprung a leak. A steam pump has been
sent to her relief. The schooner Diver was
| pancizpd on EriIau uyooIr ~ I.n1 .
in a water-logged condition until Sunday
last, when she came in sight of Grand
Haven, and aid was sent to her, and she
was brought in. Six men were found dashed
to the vessel, one of whom was dead and
another nearly frozen. The schooner W.
B. Ogden, while being towed UP this side of
Point au Pellee, was run into by a down.
ward bound vessel, damaging her mainsail
and bulwarks. The schooner Midnight, on
her downward passage, lost her jib. The
schooner Tom Simnis STRUCK a rock in the
Straits, and before getting off was obliged
to throw overheard som 1900 bushels of
grain. The bark Favorite has lost her fore
topgallant mast the bark A. P. Nicholas
lost a portion of her canvas.
During some time on Wednesday night,
the bark British Lion had her stern badly
stove in, and her bowsprit, with every thing
forward, carried away. The captain and
crew of the scow Eugene, whom it was
feared had found a watery grave by the loss
of that vessel, have since turned up all
right, arriving at Detroit on Wednesday
night. 1t appears from the Captains state
e that, after enduring for several hours
untold sufferings, they were picked up by a
passing vessel. When found by their deliv-
erer, the captains wife was dashed to the
mast, where the sea had been breaking over
her for hours, and was nearly famished
with cold and hunger. The crew also came
near P~erishing, and their escape from death
was n rarely found recorded.
