Captain Menaugh, of the Polander, had just left the wharf at Cincinnati, about eight o'clock P.M. the night being dark and foggy, when she encountered the Hornet, which was coming into port. Both vessels were considerably injured, and the Captain of the Hornet was crushed to death. One of the crew of the same vessel was severely wounded. No futher particulars have been published.
