The Strait* Open. Detroit, April 16.-A dispatch received from Mackinaw City this morning reports the ice all broken up in the straits as far as Me-Gulpin's light. The ice looks quite rotten above there, and if we have no more cold weather it is thought the straits will be open by the last of this month. FKOM POINT ST. IGNACE. Detroit, April 16.-A dispatch from Point St. Ignece says: Consider the straits open today. Think a boat can pass through with | very little trouble. A heavy rain-storm is prevailing from the southwest. Row-boats crossed to and from the island yesterday. The ice from the eastward seems to all pass through this cUinel to the westward.

The schooner City of Manitowoc crossed the ocean to Leith, Scotland, last fall, with a cargo of deaia, and has remained there, idle, during the entire winter, It was the intention of the owners to sell her, but in this they failed to realize their expectations, and now they nave ordered her back to the lakes. She left Leith for Montreal on the 5th of the present month with a cargo of 500 ions of coal, for which the Quebec freight is to be paid.

The steamer Norfolk, which wins destroyed by fire at Napanco ok/Thursday morning x$.st, was owned by Captain Collins, of Xewbttfg. The barge David Androws was also slightly damaged. The lire was the work of an incendiary. Pontoon for Kaising Sunken "Vessels. An apparatus for raising sunkem vessels, which the inventor calls a "pontoon," was successfully exhibited at the foot of Woodw ard avenue, Detroit, on Tuesday afternoon. Thie plan was similar to, and suggested by. the wellj-known practice of attaching empty casks to submerged bodies, but is apparently more feasible and scientific. The pontoon consists of a bladder-shaped body, made of India rubber and canvas, banded with iron. When not inflated the iron causes the whole to sink. After being sunk and attached to the hull of a vessel the bladder is inflated, and of course seeks the surface of tin water. The model exhibited on Tuesday was a pontoon consisting of two bladders, each four by eight inches, in one section. It was sunk in sixteen feet of water, with sixty-five pounds of iron attached, and, by the application of a small air-pump in the hands of two men, Drought to the surface in sbxty-five seconds. According to this it is calculated that a pontoon 4x8 feet can raise fully 2,400 IDs. A large pontoon, according to a well-kmown law, has a greater proportion of power than a small one. The largest made are IB feet lomg. and a dozen of them on each side of a vessel would float a very large body. One of the best features of the pontoon is its convenience for carrying. A vessel might stow away a dozen or Itwo of them in a spare corner, and with the help> of an air pump lift herself off the rocks before Iiolp could arrive or damage be done to her by severe weather. To prevent bursting, each pontoon has a gauge which, acting like a safety valve, warns when sufficient pressure is applied. The patentee is Captain Foster, of Detroit, a disabled mariner, who, hosts of friends hope, will be successful with his invention. The plan certainly has the promise of merit in it, and when the stormy season comes and wrecks strew the beach, it will doubtless be thoroughly tested.—Detroit Post. bank. Propeller frea.
