. . . . .
We learn from the Milwaukee Sentinal of Thursday that the Propeller DELAWARE arrived Wednesday from Buffalo. Near the Beaver Islands she came in collision with the Brig BELLE, of Chicago, with a cargo of corn, and broke into her with so much force, as to cause her to sink rapidly. The DELAWARE towed the Brig into the port on the Island, and left her there with two feet of water in her hold. The Delaware lost her best anchor and had her guards torn away. Damage and loss, some $600
