The St. Magnus, from Port Arthur to Montreal, with a general cargo, arrived this morning, bearing the appearance of the rough weather passed through. While at anchor at Long Point she had to leave her large anchor and chain, the crew being unable to raise them.

The schooner J.N. Carter, lumber laden, went ashore near Kincardine. Capt. Donnelly and five men launched the Kincardine life boat and went to their assistance, picking off the crew. All reached shore safely. The vessel is lying on a sandy bottom half a mile from shore, and will be got off when the weather moderates.

Yesterday morning the tug D.G. Thompson, steamer Calvin and prop. Europe arrived with the steamship Algoma from Prescott. The divided craft tied up at Swift's wharf, where during the day, she was visited by hundreds of persons. Each visitor had something to say of the great proportions of the craft, and the probable cost. One man declared that it would cost $60,000 to take the vessel from Montreal to Buffalo. He was stretching the truth greatly. The Algoma will go west as soon as tugs can be secured.

A Company has been formed of the following to run a steamer on the Rideau Canal between Kingston and Smith's Falls, where connection will be made three times a week for Montreal: Messrs. W.J.

She will carry about 4,000 bushels of grain in bulk, besides merchandise and passengers. Capts. Fleming and D. Noonan will be connected with the new craft.
