Goderich, Ont. Oct. 28. -- The gale on Lake Huron last night was the severest that has been felt for some time. The schooner M. C. CAMERON, which left here yesterday afternoon, was driven ashore a few miles north of this port. It is thought she can be got off.
      The scow FAITH, from Pike Bay, with a cargo of cedar posts, went ashore early this morning two miles north of Point Farm. The vessel and cargo total loss, no insurance.
      The steam barge JACQUES CARTIER is wrecked eight miles north of here. The crew had a narrow escape, some of them having to swim ashore.

      DISASTERS. -- As shown by our dispatches printed yesterday and this morning, there have been numerous additional disasters within a few days, and the probabilities are that more that have already occurred are yet to be learned of. Besides these new disasters, it is ascertained that the numerous vessels, stranded on the east shore of this lake, and below, for some time past, are faring very badly, and will prove total losses. Among those are the schooners CORAL, MARY, W. BATES, FLORA, etc., etc.
      The schooner J. G. McGRATH, which foundered on Monday morning, is in deep water, and wholly beyond recovery. The schooner M. C. CAMERON, unless another storm catches her, can be recovered. The scow FAITH has gone to pieces. The prospect for rescuing the steambarge JACQUES CARTIER and tug HI SMITH, are not at all encouraging. The H. D. MOORE and other craft just stranded on the east shore of this lake may be recovered if operations are immediately commenced to that end. The SLIGO recently ashore on St. Helena, is not badly damaged.
