Advices reached here last evening of a marine casualty on Lake Huron, and although it appears in different shapes in two or three papers, as near as can be arrived at is as follows :- The steambarge ABERCORN, having in tow barges LYMAN CASEY and MAIZE, struck on Spectacle Reef on Friday night. The CASEY waterlogged by colliding with the steamer, which was also damaged and broke her wheel, also threw overboard her deckload. The MAIZE was not injured and all were finally released. -- Detroit Report.
