THE SCHOONER FARWELL SUNK. -- The schooner FARWELL in coming into Sault Canal struck very hard on the rocks just above the guard gate and knocked a hole in her. It was with great difficulty that she got through the canal. She sunk just below the lower lock. She will have to unload her cargo of iron ore. Her captain came down on the METEOR to get a steam pump to raise her. She will not prevent the passage of boats through the canal.

The schr. L.J. FARWELL, which some 2 years since, sank at the Sault St. Marie with a cargo of iron ore on board, an was afterwards dismantled, is to be brought to light by the usual process of steam pumps and other apparatus used on such occasions. Capt. Buckley, who has purchased the wreck as she now lies, left here last evening by the stm. KEEWENAW with a steam pump in charge of Mr. Thomson for that purpose.

      THE L.J. FAREWELL. - This craft, which for a short time has been temporarily used as a lumber barge, is now fitted out into a fore-and-aft schooner, which has been carried out at this port, within the past few days. When formerly under that rig, some two years since, she sunk by striking a rock near the Sault, and was abandoned. During the present season, she was raised, and is again in complete sailing trim. She sailed westward bound last evening. - Detroit Free Press, 30th.
