Port Huron.---The EMMA B. MAXWELL arrived here last Sunday, in tow of the tug CASTLE. She was bound from Chicago to Collingwood with a cargo of corn. When off Duck Islands she was struck by a squall which took the mainmast off at the deck. The foremast and mizzenmast were broken off below the masthead; her jibboom was broken off a foot from the bowsprit, and she drifted from the Ducks to abreast of Port Austin, where the tug picked her up. She is not leaking to amount to anything.
