TER TROOP STRAYER HYDASPES.
SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY.

Some excitement was caused here this morning
by a statement in the Kerning Chronicle that the Admiralty
had received Information that the European and American
Company's troop steamer Hydupes was lost on her way to
Calcutta. A telegram was received here about mid-day from
London stating that the Admiralty had received no such
Information. The liydaspes left Woolwich the letter end of
September, with upwards of 600 artillery, men and eaters.
The last Brazilian howeward mall packet brought word that
the Hydaspes had made a good run out to St. Vincent, Cape
de Verde, and that the troops on board were delighted with
the tnatmeat they had received and with the prospects of a
safe, swift, and pleasant voyage. Captain Down, the com-
mander of the Hydaepes, is a Southampton man. He wee
educated in an East Indian liner, was some time in the ser-
vice of the Royal Mail Company; he also commanded the
troop steamer Ottawa in the Black Sea during the Crimean
war, which was the ship that Miss Nightingale used to travel
in, and he has commanded a mail packet on the west coast of
Africa. Although • young man, he is a most skilful and
caudal navigator, besides being a very amiable man.
