What the genius means by the words "tenters will be received" Jn this con¬ nection we cannot tell. The new atenmbarge \{. Sicken arrived at this port for the first time on Friday last, bringing in 254,000 feet of lumber. She was built during the past winter by Mr. George King, at Marine City, and launched on the 11th of last month.

Her engine Is a steeple compound, 10x24 for the high pres¬ sure, and 24x28 for the low pressure, and run by a boiler 1% feet shell bj 14 teet In length. The latter was built in Detroit by Messrs.

Her captain asseitB that he met with a tidal wave twenty feet In height, which did seri¬ ous Injuty to the forward cabin. It Ib time that this tidal wave business on tho lakas wasabAut played out, as no such thlngj ever occurs on fresh water, and the theory was exploded years ago-ny an experienced officer In the lake survey service, if there was ft tido upon the hikes It would obb and flow regular!), and be no new thing of oc- caslonal occurrence to be noticed now and then. It la well known, howovcr, thnt such Ib not the case. The result of the aforesaid officer's experiment went to show that there was a tide providing a flow of nuto'r existed, It was established beyond a doubt that no tide was perceptible at any of the points, or II so, not to exceed one or two inches, which was practically no tido at all. Hence there Is no ground for the statements occasionally made, (hat a tide has been obsoivablc at any time on the lakes. The heaviest northeast gale of the season set in on the 20th, and lasted three days, but no serious disasters have thus far been re¬ ported.
