      THE STORM - DISASTERS ON THE LAKES.
A terrible storm of wind, accompanied by rain set in Saturday night, and continued with unabated fury throughout yesterday and last night. This morning there were no signs of abatement, and the results, especially upon the lakes, will prove of a very disastrous character. A number of vessels which left here on Saturday, at a late hour, very wisely returned to port. The following dispatch has been received from Detroit:
      "The most furious gale of the season set in last night and still continues with unabated force from the west-southwest. Being unlooked for, its effects on the shipping will undoubtedly be disastrous. Four vessels are reported ashore and sunk near the head of Lake Erie. The only name ascertained is that of the bark ANNIE VOUGHT, which had the spars of another vessel lying across her deck. There had probably been a collision. The ANNIE VOUGHT had a signal of distress flying, but nothing could reach her. Another vessel is near by, with her crew in the rigging. The United States steamer MICHIGAN and a number of tugs are at the mouth of the river, ready to go out as soon as the weather permits. Two large lumber rafts are ashore near Point Aux, Lake Huron. The vessels are in a good position to be got off.
