Will the bright young marine man of .the Cleveland Herald have thff kindness to con¬ tinue his crltlsolsm of our correspondent's description of the steamship Alberlaon some future occasion ? He ends his last offort so abruptly that we think he must have gone nshore In a dense fog. The British Lion, ashore on the Canadian «lde or Lake Huron, Is high and dry with her ruadcr gone.

The Grace Holland, Captain Rattray, •grouud in the storm an Thursday last on Luke Huron, was prilled off In six hours by the tugs Weslcotr and American Eagle, without damage, and arrived at this port on Monday evening and discharged her cargo «f ore at the N.

The iron tug Internationa), launched at tlie Globe Iron Works on the 17th of AprIL the dimensions of which we1 gave at that time, made her tint turn on the lake yeSter day, with Mr. G. Hughes, of Toronto, Can ada, mechanical engineer of the Grand Trunk railroad, Captain Jttmes 'Byers, and members of the'Globe1 Shipbuilding Coin pnny aboard. She ran out In the lake five or six miles, turning toward Rocky river, and back, and reached her dock about Ave o'clock. The officials of the company tor which she was built wcro much pleased with her actions, she showing good speed, giving evidence ef great power and of being quite handy, all of which are essential elements far the work she Is destined to do at her sta¬ tion at ths International bridge it Buffnlo, as the current there Is very swift, to assist all vessels to pass the bridge both up and down the river, made necessary by Interna¬ tional trealjy. Captain James Byers will be her master and she will leave for her port of destination eaily next week. Since we have called attention to the fact that various harbors require the Imniudlate attention1 of the dredgingcontractors, namely Ashtabula, where a bar has formed. Inside the piers where vessels stick drawing oier,. fourteen loot three Inches, and at Dululh, we will note that vessels have experienced some difficulty In entering Cleveland harbor although tho Messrs. Smith are delllgently at woik reducing the cause. The Alcoua touched ground Just of Ihe cant pier on Tuesday, apparently, at thesame spot where the bootla stuck lar-t Thursdaj. The steambarge Queen of the West, which came In this port yesterday to drop her tow, the barge Cyclone, laden with ore from Mar¬ quette, stuck on the same bar In departing. The tugs'Forest City and Mary Virginia worked two hours finally releasing her. The bar has formed about three hundred feet oft' "the end of the east pier, and vessels enter¬ ing drawing fourteen Icet slioujcT head di¬ rectly up the river and puss within dne hun¬ dred and flfiy feet of the did of the break¬ water, observing the same precautious In departing.

The tug Arctic, with the schooners Trans- •fer and City of Grand Haven, left Grand Haven lor Escanata, where the vessels arc to load ore. These two schooners are to alternate with the O. 0.

Sptdal to Iht MaHnl Enxri In regird to the loss ot the propeller J. 8. Seaverns On Lake 8nperlor there will prob¬ ably bean Investigation. She was built on the bottom of the steamer Ward In 1880, the work being doue by Elliot at Sauzntnck. She hnd a good rating, but It Is claimed that she was overloaded on this fatal trip. The north shore of Lake Superior has never been Btirveyed, and there are no oharts to aid navigators; there are no buoys and there are but four lights. It is insisted that no man not well'acqualnted on this dangerous coast should be given charge ot any craft going Micro. The value of the Seaverns and her cargo was about $50,000. She^fta'd a number or passengers on bonfil. The craft was never Inspected here, the owners always getting papers for her In the east shore district, where they resided. The Seaverns was commanded by Captain W, Prltchard, and had a crew or fourteen men. The centerboard or the steambarge Nlpl gon whs repaired as she lay In the Central slip, foot of Lake street, a dlfflcultjob, which required theservicesof Captain Frank Hill, ' the diver. The receipts of salt at tbtportof Chicago from the opening of navigation up to the 18th were 28,781 barrels. Of this 14,688 barrels were from Oscoda, 12,233 from East Tawas and 1,870 from Manistee. Deputy Sherman on Saturday tookchnrge ot the scow Curiosity for a claim of $16 In favor of Oscar Greenhnlgh, and Deputy G. W. Jones captured the schooner H. D. Moore lor a c'lnlm of $243 in favor of Michael Byrne. The steamer John Prldgeon, Jr., Friday night, while coming up the river light, on her way to the elevator, had a hole stove In her bow abovo water by running Into a schooner. The dnmage was slight and easily repaired. She has cleared for Buffalo with grain. The new steamer built by Miller Brothers (or H. H. Shufeldt & Co., the distillers, was launched Tuesday afternoon. She Is 110 feet long, 22% feet beam andO feet depth of hold. hho has a double engine, 10x22, built by the Vulcan Iron Works, andherbollei Is 0 feet G Indies In diameter by 13 feet long. She Is very strongly and well built mid ex¬ tra strong built lonvard for Ice breaking In the winter. She was Ironed forwaid by Donaldson Brothers, shlpsmlths. Messrs. Dunham & Holt, agents at this port for the jCmerlcmi Ship Windlass-Co., Providence, R. I., have recently supplied, the Mississippi and Rum River Boom Co., Minneapolis, and the Shell Lake Lumber Co., Shell Luke, Wis., each with 11^0, A. capstan. E. C, Davison is preparing a new chart of Cljicago river and the on lei harbor with all recent changes and amendments, also one for"South Chicago harbor, which w.lll shortly be completed and ready lor sale, , Larsen Brothers, yacht and boat builders, Elston road, near Division streot bridge, are building for Captain J T. Jacobson 11 very hanJsoihe steam yacht 61 feet long, 10 feet 3 h dies beam and 4 feet deep. She will have a 0x8 engine and an upright marine vertical boiler 3 feet in circumference and 0 feet high. He is also building six handsome row boats 14 to It feot long. They will be used on Lako Benton, Minnesota, as soon as completed. * The Chicago Prydnck Company hate hnd the schooner H. C. Wlnslow, of Bay City, Captain S, Murdoch, In their drydock to stop a leak. The schooner sprang aleak on her way to this port on Friday last, and the men were kept at the pumps. Her deck- load of posts were taken off and 'she was towed to the dndQck. Upon examining her bottom it was discovered that a hole which had been bored In her to lotWut some water when on the boxes at Bay City, at the olose of last season, had not been properly plugged, in fact, which was the cause of the leak. It was a very fortunate circum¬ stance that the vessel was so ne'ur port when shospriing aleak, otherwise lives might have been sacrificed. After all, there seeim to be a special prov¬ idence for the shipping. Grain and Iron ore and coal freights are scarce, and rates are low Just now, and a new carrying trade opeiiB up. Paving stone Is in, great demand In Chicago. The Islands of the St. Lawrence river arc formed of solid granite. It Is be¬ ing got out In large quantities, a'nd.the de¬ mand here brings It this way. It must be .carried by vessel, and vessel owners are once more happy. The schooners Belle Mitchell and Amerloan arrived In Chicago yesterday with cargoes ol this stone (pronounced the finest for paving purposes,) and a whole fleet of schooners laden with the same are near by and will make the harbor within a day or two. The freight rate paid the ves¬ sels is a good orte, and the new carrying trade Is regarded In marine circles as of great Importance. The steamship.H, D. Cofllnberfy and the barge-sohooner Red Wing hnvo been char¬ tered for three years to carry Iron ore from Escauaba to the South Branch Rolling Mill in Chicago, and arrived yesterday with their first cargoes. The Cofflnberry regis¬ ters 700 tons and the Red Wing 722 tons. They obtain good freight rates. Both of these craft have heretofore been In the grain trade.
