-Despatches from S2ub1e, on Lake Huron ,an-
nonnce heavy gale in that region
"A body was recently washed ashore at An
Sable, which was buried by the Coroner, John
thumb and finger, was star, and on the left
into the skin with blue ink.
The steam barge Holland was, by rise OF
water and BY pretty strong pulling, got aaoat
Detroit IN the afternoon. Although leaking
freely it is not thought that her cargo has sus-
tanned any damage. About 200 bushels Of corn
was thrown overheard, while considerable guam
tity was put on board q lighter. The Holland
pairs.
The harbor at Goderich. Ont, for which the
Dominion Government year or two since grant
ed large sum to make it place Of shelter for
vessels in times of great peril is, according to
information strictly reliable from that place, 60
ing to destruction. The contractors for building
the new harbor have made but little advance
ment, while in the meantime the old entrance
has become sadly dilapidated. Some OF the
warehouses ara in danger Of heing washed into
the lake, and in short It is by no means safe
place for any Of our shipping to visit in bad
weather, as was formerly the case.
The northeast gale has l ot abated On Lake
Erie, and nearly the entire fleet reported wealth
er-bonnd at the islands the middle OF last week
remain there yet. Captain Goldsmith, Of the
steamer Jay Cooke, reports at Kelley's Island
the steam barges Sanilac, Colin Campbell and
bargeH, Lady Franklin and barge, besides 9TH
ers, and numerous sail craft: The steamer
Rocket, which came uio North Passage, reports
seeing forest OF masts in Pidgeon Bay, ali Of
which were reported there week ago. The de-
lays to the westward Of this continue as hereto
foro reported
The highway leading into Green Bay and
through which large number Of steamers and
vessels are continually passing, is one Of the
most dangerous localities bordering on tho Ike.
Scarcely week passes without a disaster OF
greater or less magnitude is recorded to the
ati7ely blocladed by numerous islands
known as Grave, Poverty, Summer, Gull,
Plum Rock, and other islands, besides
dangerous shoals unseen, and by many un-
known. The Whales Back is also laid down on
the charts, On which the loss to the shipping
within short period past has been feafully
great, not to mention more or less loss Of life.
On several Of these Islands good lights have
been established for the guidance of the mariner,
little available. The Whales Back lies under
water, and is by far the most dangerous OF al
others.

red during the late storm has been prepared and
