BROKE HER SHAFT - The Detroit Advertiser says:- Propeller ROCKET, on her passage down from Green Bay, when off Point aux Barque, Sunday, broke her shaft. The steamer FORESTER, which was fortunately in that vicinity, took her in tow for a short distance, when the FOREST QUEEN, from Saginaw, took hold of her and brought her to this city. The ROCKET will be taken on to Buffalo for repairs, orders have already been sent forward for a wrought iron shaft, in the room of the former which was cast.
