The Port Clinton Democrat states that the schooner GRAND TURK, Capt. Traverse, reached that port on Monday last, and is now taking in a cargo of ship planks and oak lumber, at the mill of Reynale & Scott, at that place, preparatory to clearing for Liverpool. She is a fine vessel of 300 tons burthen, and will carry 150,000 feet of lumber as her cargo.
