Vessels arriving would do well to avoid the Diace as they will be liable to ground.

The Lyon dropped the J (J Mastuu off Erie. The actual running time of the tow to this port was rive days au<l three hours. This is undoubted the best Lime ever made by a steamer towing three large schooners. The four cargoes amounted to over 2i_>i>,uoo bushels of Kraiii. -- * w The new iron steamship H J Jewett arrived yesterday noon, alter completing her first round trip. The water iu the river wan over a foot low, a,nd she went hardj acround in front of the Union Steamboat Dock, at the foot of Lloyd-street. Nearly four hundred barrels ot" flour were lightened off her. but as she was a foot out she could not be budged. At dark last uiehtshe awaited a. rise of water. The Jewett has bad some bad luck ou her first trip, but iu reality it amounted to little. When coining down her discbarge pipe got out of order, and considerable water ran through it into her engine compartment, at one time there being nearly five feet. To make matters worse her pumps, lor some slight. ause would not work, and she was obliged to stop at Decroit to be pumped out. The only leaks in the hull were very slight ones in the forepeak. Alter leaving the river she made no water to speak of. The reports from Detroit jn regard to her leaking were as foolish as extravagant. Captain Joiner says she met very heavy fair, wind im Lake Michigan, and strong head wind on Lake Huron, and proved a most satisfactory sea boat. She ran from the Straits to fort Huron against the heavy aeas in 22 hours, and from the dock at Detroit to dock at this port in 21 hours and 25 minutes, slowing down for a couple of hours ou the latter run. This must be regarded as fine work for new machinery '.under disadvantages circumstances. Kingston Notes, Kingston, Oct. 19.—The schr Louise is being loaded with ore tor Fairhaven.

Whitefish Point, Mich., Oct. 12.— The Grace was a small steamyaeht running the ferry between the American and Canadian "Sault," but The Grit la aui Tin ber Trade. Mariners now look on the grain trade for the season as about closed. A vessel captain said this morning that th« expectations which were entertained this spring were not realized. He anticipated to do a good grain business this season, but was sadly disappointed. He was asked what was the reason for the dulness, when be said that England now got a great deal of her grain .from India, Australia, Russia, and other places, and was nert depending on America for more than one-fifth of her consumption. America d>es hot, in any sense, control the grain market iu England. He thought 1831 was a great; deal better than 18^2. La-t year the .-?t Lawrence route carried about 11,000,000 bushels through to Montreal: this year, by the close of navigation, he did not think that more than 7.Ooo,oo0 bushels will have gone down the river, Auot.hcr thing, any grain that was removed from one Canadian port to another, for supplying mills, etc., was not carried in vessels, but in cars, for the reasons that mill'--owners cannot afford to purchase a oareo of from 15,000 to 20.000 buiihal*, Thev can act hist wn*t th*»Wftn, oy rail, and have it delivered when and where they please. lnere wag a corresponding shrinkage of export in grain at 1 «V °w t'P to this time 3o,ooo,ooo bushels less hare laJo r£ iorkf<»" Europe fh:«n during th« Dame period ia «KM.

What it all amounts to may be interred from the fact that of her 65,000 bu of corn she wet only a little over 100 bu, and that was occasioned by a leaky steam* pipe. That the Jewett had five feet of water in her engine compartment, without damaging her cargo shows how tho* roughly she has been constructed. •¦ Charters aud Freight*.

Carkin, St.ickney. &J Oram have a contract for (dredging Cheboygan harbour. Mr Cram expeets the dredige dully, when wurk will be commenced and prosecuted witlh vigour. This firm lias done the greater part of the dredgring that has been done in the harbour. A number of vessels is going out of the lumboer trade, some of them to lay up. There is considerable tallk among owners about placing their vessels in winter qiuarters in short order. The season is now late and dangerrous, ex>- I penses are high, and there seems to be no prospectts of any material improvement in freight. The Burlington Ensign furnishes the following narticu-lar.s of the progress of the work on the Murray ©anal : — " Only a little over a month ago ground was first broken (Aug, 31), and nearly 30 acres of woodland have been clear* ed, not only of the trees hut of more ihan half the stumps. I A good beginning has also been made with the excavation,! while a dredge is doing good work in Weese's Creek in deep-/ ening the bottom. One hundred and fifty men and 35 team* are constantly employed. A large well or pit is now being, dug in the centre of the canal (north and south) which will serve as a reservoir to receive the surface water, which will' then be pumped out with a steam pump, and carried off ' to the bay through a ditch cut for that purpose. The deepest cutting will be some 26 feet from the top of the ground"'to the bottom of the canal. The contract calls for 12 feet of water at "the lowest known soundings—but generally there will be 14 feet, which will be ample depth for any boat which c.^n navigate the Bay of Quinte. The soil brought up by the dredge, so far, is a tough strong clay, which ensures a good harbour and reduces to a minimum the danger of the channel caving or nllihs up. The work on the fcastern suction, or Trenton end of the canal, is also beini' cprost*-cuted most vigorously. What is known as DefflRWOreefe Marsh is now beins dammed on each side of t,be canal, which will, when completed.be pumped out audi digging this portion of the work will be carried on all winter-it being the best season for excavating such land. There are to be four road bridges and one railroad bridge . Intervening neighbourhrod* will have to drive to one of the four structures—roadways being constructed on each side of the canal for that puropse. By the 1st of May next, Mr Silcox states, the whole line (four and a fifth miles in length) will be under construction. This morninc about 10 o'clock there arrived hero eight men—wet, hungry, and nearly exhausted— and the following is their story: "We left "Waiska Bay after sundown with ten men on hoard, and were just rounding Gros Cape when her enKine gave way, leaving us to the mercy of the wind and waves. By this time it was blowing a lively gaie from the east, anc ill attempts io repair the engine proved futile, so that we were oDliged to spend the whole night ou the lake, with such a heavy sea running that we . were in fear of being awamoed every minute. ) The scow iiad been cut loose as soon as the accident occurred, and had reached the beach ahead of us. We struck the beach about five miles from "Whitefish Point about 8:30 this morning, and as sea after sea washed over us we prepared to make a last effort to save ourselves and reach the shore, which nine of us did. The life-preserve of the tenth man, Robert Holmes by name, had become unfastened, and slipped to the back of his head, kedp his face under water so that he drowned. The contractor of the party was the second to reach the shore, and as he did so the first turned to hiin, and, giving him his hand, said: "Well, Mr. Stohhouse, wa are safe once more,* and fell backward dead."

D. | Peacock is the owner of the Steele and Captain William Keith ia the owner of the Ida Keith. It seems from the dispatches that the vessels were in the same tow in the rivers (somewhere between Port Huroa and Detroit) and that the Keith (being of deeper draught) grounded and .he Steele ran into her. The Keith's stern was damaged quite badly, but whether any of her carco is damaged is not stated. The Steele's headgear was all carried away and her bow stove in, and she leated so badly that she had to be run ashore in order to prevent her sinkine:. ?<lr. Peacock and Captain Keith left for Detroit by rail last evening. The Keith has 33,000 bushels of flaxseed, shipped by M. S. Robinson, of Chicago, to C. F. Sternberg, Buffalo. Insured in the Chicago Pool. The Steele has 17,000 bushels of wheat, shipped by Irwin, Orr & Co. and consigned to the Queen City Mills, Black Rock. Also insured in the Chicago Pool. It is likely taat the Steele's cargo is badly dkmaged, if not -'¦oily f"l'"",jiLI„i.lw, ,u, f -------r,,_r. FROM DETItOIT. Special Telegram to The Inter 0-,;enn..
