Grand Haven, Mich., Aug. 5.—The elegant steamer City of Milwaukee, Captain Smafllman in charge, met with a serious accident this raiorning. While leaving here on her daily trip to Milwaukee, for some unaccountable reason she was run into the south pier while running at tfi trateoi eighteen miles per hour, breaking her pi and a largo number of her braces, etc. It is ascertained that her damages will amounl fco several thousand dollars. Where the blame rests is not exactly known. Competent marine men say that the captain had placed a green hand at the wheel, which explains the whole matter. It will be several days before she can attempt another trip. Hi". -':al T(ii"irr'-m *n The [i\'< ;¦ O:-; an.

The craft is 192 feet in length, 28 foot beam, and 1 1 feet depth of hold, she is a side-wheeler, •witrlj wheels 28 feet in diameter,, and is schooner rigged.

Collector Hall yesterday received a (dispatch from the Deputy Collector at Charlevoix, asl&ng (that the revenue cutter Andy Johnson be sent to ¦remove the schooner B. Parsons, which is an obstruction to the harftor. A few weeks ago the Parsons, while sailing into Charlevoix, stnuick the north pier and sunk so that she formed an obstruction, and that vessels could not ge;t in or out. The owner of the Parsons is a poeor man, and unable to pay a wrecking bill, which! would probably amount to as much as the vessel is worth, she being an old craft. The whereabouts of the Johnson is not known to Collector Hall at u v-r;-'-v I " young sailor named Roger M\ Scriver was present, but she will in all probability be sent to j|i08t overboard off the Canadian barge MAffgifi THS GOLDEN AG-jB. DIAPPOINTMENT AS TO CABEYING CAPACITY. Cleveland Leader Tuesday: "The coal cargo of the big ship Golden Age—all she will carry on her first trip—has now been put aboard of her, and proves to be just 2,405 tons. To carry this she stands at an even draft of 1-1 feet 3 inches fore and aft. This is not as much as it was thought she would carry with this amount of draft, but is about the same as is carried by the Oncko draw- ] ing the same number of feet. The latter vesse.. while carrying 2,Gil tons, her largest cargo, had] a draft of 14 feet 10 inches. This, however, was caused not only by her cargo but with snSicient fuel aboard of her for her trip, so it is believed the two vessels would have about the same* draft with the same number of tons burden. She will j start on her voyage for Chicago this afternoon or .1 evening, as she now only waits for the steanS barge William Edwards, which is also taking on fcoal at Thomas Axworthy's dock, to-complete her 'cargo when the start will be made, and the , chooner M.
