Sault Ste. Marie. Nov. 8. -- The Canadian steamer FRANCES SMITH, miraculously escaped foundering in Lake Superior, during the storm of the 30th. and 31st, ult. Fifty six head of cattle were thrown overboard and many sheep and swine drowned. On board the cook-house was demolished and supplies destroyed, leaving the passengers and crew without food from Friday night to Sunday night. The rudder became unmanageable, and but for the daring exertions of the crew and officers all would have perished. No human lives were lost.
