A Telegram was received last evening from Mr. James Hamilton, of Port Credit, stating that the schooner BELVIDERE was capsized during the gale of Sunday night, and that all on board ( Captain and four of a crew) were drowned. She was loaded with wood, and bound for Oakville. At a late hour last evening none of the bodies had been recovered. The vessel (60 tons) was not a new one, and was owned by the Captain, whose name we believe was Burnside.
