The Canadian schooner Lochiel, bound from up the lake to Kingston, was driven into this port, and owing to the heavy sea, struck bottom in the channel, and we believe received some damage. Her cabin, which was on deck with her compass, were lost outside. When she was working round inside the east pier, a man was knocked overboard by the foreboom and instantlykilled.
The steamer Niagara, which left here last night for Charlotte, had not been heard from up to 3 o'clock, but it is probably that she put into Sodus or has arrived at Charlotte. There is some anxiety for her safety.
The wind up to 3 o'clock this afternoon continues to blow with considerable briskness, and the sea has been very rough all day. There are rumors of other vessels ashore, but we give all the authentic information of the disasters received up to the hour of going to press.
