The JOHN G> DESHLER was built by the same party as the J. F. WARNER, and sails remarkably fast, having made the passage from Quebec in 26 days, notwithstanding thaton the 5th day out she sprang her mainmast, and was very tender during the voyage. Her entire cargo, consisting of about 88,000 staves, has been purchased by John Stewart, Esq., cooper, Glasgow. The J. G. DESHLER is commanded by Capt.. Gale , who navigated the J. F. WARNER on her first voyage to this port.
