IN MARINE CIRCLES.

The tug Jessie Hall, with one barge, light, arrived from Montreal last night.

The steamers Clinton and Orion, Kingston to upper lake ports to load timber, passed through the Welland canal yesterday.

The steamer Corsican was delayed three hours by fog on her way from Toronto to this port this morning. Capt. Estes states that he never before experienced such a heavy fog. The sea was running very high before a wind from the west, and a most uncomfortable time was spent by those on board. The vessel, however, weathered the gale and reached this port at eight o'clock. She remained here a short time and cleared for Montreal.
