Capt. Alfred Forrest of the tug TRAVELER corroborates the statement of Capt. Baxter regarding the severity of the gale. It was during this gale that the schooner SLIGO, consort of the foundered steambarge SOVEREIGN, came near foundering herself. She arrived here leaking, with all her canvas gone.

The survey held yesterday on the cargo of the schooner SLIGO, resulted in the finding of 1,000 bushels of wet wheat. This amount was larger than was looked for, and only 35 or 40 bushels were wet through her hatches, so her bottom must be injured.
