VESSEL AND OfiBEW SAVED—COLLISION. During the stormyy weather Sunday night the life-saving crew puUledout to a small craft in dis tress on the lake. Anthony Bessel, loaoded with cobblestones, leaking badly and in sinAking condition. The captain, ¦whose name is Anithony Bessel, and one sailor made up the crew. The life men manned the pump, finally got aa tug, and brought the little vessel and her crew ssafely into the harbor. Some tug, name unnknown, ran into the schooner Evra Fuller on the laake before daylight yesterday morning, cutting herr boat in two, crushing in her stern to some exteent, and breaking the topsail. It is supposed that tllie tug was maneuvering for the tow. The Shieldls was alongside the Fuller, and her captain was -afraid for a moment or two that the unknown tojg would run into him. The captain of the Fuller ¦ made diligent inquiry yes-1 terday to learn thee name of the colliding craft, but all to no avail. The weather was aggain stermy yesterday, coming from the north. Vessels which left the harbor on Saturday werre still off the city, among them the schooner Goolden Fleece. The tug Peirett ancd her five barges left during the day, but made litttle or no headway against <- the wind and sea. The Massachusetts:*, Merrimac, and Geonre Finney were among tthe arrivals last night. The two first named are bound to Escanaba from South Chicago.

The difference between (flhe owners and underwriters in a nutshell is that the underwriters refused to accept the abandomment of the vessel, which was made shortly after tine vessel went on the beach, and desired that the owners - should pay half the cost of repairing the vessel, which the latter refused to do. Captain Hounds is looking' after the schooner Ganges, dissm&sted the fore part of the week, and now at tthe Milwaukee shipyard receiving ropairs. He ;also has charge of the wrecked schooner A. &, iuiorev at Chicago, This vessel, valued at {$9,00)0. was WTecked at Bailey's Harbor, and it cost $d),000 to release her.
