After part of the cargo of hard coal had been lightered, the propeller THOMAS CRANAGE which stranded in the St. Clair River at the head of Russel's Island on Sunday after sinking the schooner MELBOURNE, was released yesterday. The schooner MELBOURNE's lumber cargo is being lightered into the schooner MONGUAGON, which will probably deliver the cargo owing to the bad condition of the MELBOURNE.
