Toronto, Nov. 8. -- The schooner METROPOLIS, grain from Chicago, arrived in Collingwood Harbor last night and dropped anchors. During the night she dragged her anchors, and, unshipping her rudder, went hard ashore. The captain reports her leaking, and says she will have to be lightered before she can be got off. It is though she is greatly damaged.
