STOTSBURY, took a pilot twenty miles south of Cape Henlopen at six o'clock yesterday evening and will be up at Philadelphia this evening. She sailed from Liverpool on the 28th of November with a fine cargo and ninty-five passengers. When three days out she lost her propeller during a heavy gale and her machinery became useless. It was then determined to procceed on the voyage without the aid of steam and the noble ship has proved herself worthy of the confidence reposed in her sailing powers.
