Banff, 28th Oct. The SCOTIA, of Inverness, McKenzie, from Lybster to Harburg, with herrings, which put in here 18th Oct., leaky, had struck the ground heavily at Lybster on the 15th, and had also slipped from an anchor and chain. On the 16th she had been in contact with the SUSAN HENRY (? SUSAN HENDRY), of Kirkcaldy, which had bulwarks and rails damaged.
