DISABLED. - The schooner MERCER, Capt. Morrison, was towed up to this port early yesterday morning by the steamer PEARL from the Clay Banks, where she became disabled by the storm of Monday. While beating up for the mouth of the Detroit River her foremast went by the board, and with it jib, jib-topsail and topsail, also her headgear and some of her light spars. She arrived here in a leaky condition and requiring considerable repairs before she can proceed on her voyage. She is bound to Lake Superior with a cargo of coal. - Detroit Free Press.
