Chicago, Nov. 24. - Advices to underwriters here state that the schooner MELROSE, in tow of the steamer WESTMOUNT, had struck the rocks off Brockville, Ont., and sunk. The crew were saved. The MELROSE was bound from Fort William to Kingston with 40,000 bushels of wheat. The wrecked boat is the sister ship to the schooner MINNEDOSA, which foundered on Lake Huron during the great October storm, carrying down the eight members of the crew. The MELROSE was cut loose from the sinking MINNEDOSA and succeeded in reaching port safely.
