. . . . .
The bark CONSTITUTION, that went ashore neat Conneaut in the late storm, is not yet raised. The wrecking pumps of the Buffalo Mutual were insufficient to pump her out, and two wrecking pumps of the Home Insurance Company have been sent up. The CONSTITUTION was laden with grain from Milwaukee, and hull and cargo
are insured in the Buffalo Mutual and one or two other companies the name of which we did not learn.
