LOSS OF THE SCHOONER WELLAND. -- Intelligence reached this city, of the capsizing of the schooner WELLAND, between St. Joseph and this port. She left St. Joseph on the 4th inst, with a load of wood for this port, and nothing was heard of her until the Friday following, when she was found bottom up. There is a faint hope that the crew, composed of Capt. McDonald and seven men, may have been picked up; but the probability is that they have met a watery grave. She is supposed to have capsized in the gale of the 5th inst. -- Chicago Press, 13th.
