The season of navigation is not supposed to close until the 15th of November, when the ordinary insurances expire. It is, however, near a termination : for some craft it is over, and they have gone into ordinary. The books of many vessels now will fail to inspire jubilation. There has been a late spring and an early fall in a shipping sense, and during the brief period that active operations were carried ou the freights have not been such as to admit of much margin. It is stated that in not a few cases there will not be a credit balance of one dollar, and that those who have a made more than their expenses will require an outlay in e 18S3. in outfitting, far in excess of their surpluses. The \ present depression has been anticipated. Already the effects of it have been demonstrated, aud the schooners are one by one now going into winter quarters. Charters aud Freights, Detroit Oct 6.—The following charters were reported yesterdav :—Schrs Bangalore, wheat to Montreal on private terms : Harry Bissell, wheat to Buffalo, at 2Jc ; Abbie L Andrews, wheat to Buffalo, at 2Jc ; Louisa, pulp wood.

Wheat at 6c, corn at 5ic to New York: lumber to New York at $3 35 per M, and $2 75 to Albany. Staves at §1 81i per ton to New York. Miscellaneous. The mystery concerning where the lumber washed ashore at Hay View came from still remains unsolved, as no reports have been received from any port of any vessel arriving minus its deck loads. A prominent vessel-owner in Chicago expresses the opinion that but few owners of sailing vessels will be able to figure out a profit on this season's business, and many will come out in debt. Detroit insurance agents have adopted the following cargo rates:—To B'urfalo 5Uc : to Lake Ontario ports SOc ; and to Montreal $1 20. This rate is fur B 1 vessels ; 111 per cent. on A vessels. The suit of Finney et ah, owners of the schooners George C Finney, Gallatin, and Mary Collins, against the Grand Trunk Railway to recover damage for delaying those vessels for ten or twelve days at Goderich in 1878, is on trial before Judge Blodgett in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The complainants claim that the expenses of the vessels during the time they were delayed in discharging their cargoes at Goderich exceeded the amount received as freight money. SOTTTHEKLY BLOW. FAILURE Ot THE SIGNAL SEBVICE. AU day yesterday the wind blew biff guns j from the south, and it is feared that disasters will be heard of as tho result. The barce tows are all behind time, and a fleet of vessels known to be outside have not made their appearance. Tu?s which secured tows down the lake had to drop them because they could make no headway against the wind and sea. Last nieht the wind was south and west, but had moderate! in a great measure.
