She is in the command of Capt. Litz, and will continue to run regularly from Grand Haven to Manistee for the present, touching at all points. We understand that the Goodrich steamer DePERE will run to this port, but will make her trips from Milwaukee to Ludington and Manistee and return. The Engelmann steamer MESSENGER will run the same route, with the exception that she will make Pentwater one of her ports. The MINNIE CORLETT of Pentwater, has been sold by Nickerson & Collister, to Mr. Brown of Muskegon, for $7,000.

Corcoran, brother of Capt.

Port Washington Prop. G. P. HEATH, Saugatuck The Engelmann Line will not probably purchase the CHICORA, as no naturalization papers have yet been obtained. The BERTSCHY is soon to run between Muskegon and Milwaukee. The WINNIE WING made the round trip between Pentwater and Racine last week in 45 hours, unlading a cargo of 170 M feet of ash lumber, and 10 cords of wood. What vessel can show better time? The tug MESSENGER is undergoing repairs, and the steamer MAGNET, Capt. Boswell, and the tug B. W. RICE, Capt. Ewing, are now towing in our harbor. ===========================================================================
