      HEAVY DAMAGES. - At the recent term of the Admirality Court in Cleveland, the case of the collision of the propeller NEW YORK and the schooner DAWN, the court found that the management of the schooner DAWN was without fault, and the incompetency of the propeller in charge, and her mismanagement occasioned the collision and loss of the vessel. The value of the DAWN is found to be $2,000, and degree rendered for the libelants for that amount.
