...voured :rem
a letter by the captain of the Hyderabad, giving an account
of her loss :
" We left Sydney on the 3d of May, and had a tedious
passage to the edge of the reefs. When within a hundred
miles the weather became squally. On the 18th, at day-
light, saw the reefs from the decks ; kept working under easy
sail till noon, and found that we had drifted fifty miles to the
northward. Oa the 19th, kept beating about till the 23d, in
hopes of regaining our position, but we found ourselves even
still set to the northward. 1 then made up my mind to run
through the above passage (the Murray Island one); unfor-
tunately the ship drew too much water, although in Flinder's
Chart there is twenty-five fathoms marked where the ship
struck, and in Horsburg's Directory it says—' A fine clear
passage.' We found no more water on the shoal than fifteen
feet; everything available was thrown overboard; and a
stream anchor carried out to the deepest water. Night
coming on, the ladies with some of their luggage were put
into the long boat. About seven P.M., during a gust of
wind, the ship slipped off the red into deep water. After
anchoring, we found the ship began to settle fast down, gain-
ing on the pumps about two feet per hour. Ity midnight
both pumps were choked. All hands were summoned to the
boats where they had been previously placed. At two A.M.
all hands being in the boats and fast astern, the ship began to
settle fast by the head. About three A.M. the main deck
blew up and the mainmast went. The ship then sunk, having
her trucks above water. We then steered for the York
Islands, being in the track of ships proceeding through the
Straits, where we arrived on the 29th, and finally at Booby
Island on the 31st, where I made the best arrangements I
possibly could, with our scanty stock of provisions, for the
long boat to proceed on to Port Essington. On the Ist of
June, having embarked 28 persons, and having five pieces of
pork, 25 of bread, and 100 gallons of water, I set sail for Es-
sington, having brought Master Melville Sandys, Miss Mary
Sandys, and their nurse, Mrs. Murphy, in the long boat.
We arrived safe on the 6th, and I had the gratification of
seeing the remainder of the crew and passengers brought in
by the schooner Shamrock on the 7th. As the schooner was
not large enough to accommodate the passengers, the com-
mander thought it better to remain till the Fly surveying
ship came in, who will, in all probability, take them back to
Sydney."
The Shamrock, as we announced, managed to convey some
of the passengers to Ceylon, whence they have come on here.
The children mentioned above, have arrived safely at Singa-
pore. Among the horses, it appears that 12 were Govern-
ment property; the others were on private speculation. As
seine anxiety prevails in town upon the subject, we give
from the Sydney Morning Herald the following item :
" The passengers on board the Hyderabad, Robertson,
were—Mrs. Betts, three daughters, and son, Mr. J. C. Lyall,
Mr. A. Ford, Miss and Master Sandys, Dr. Child, Mrs. Mur-
phy, Messrs. J. Knowles, John Stewart, James Broderich,
G. P. Lynch, James Mason, Christopher Laurel, Colin Munro,
David Peacock, Edwail Brown, John Stacey, W. Philip,
and E. Hall. She exported, among other items-11 horses,
J. U. Betiington ; 9 horses, C. Throsby; 12 horses, A. W.
Dallas; 41 horses, John Mackay; 26 horses, Dr. Child ; 4
horses, T. S. Morton; 3 horses, G. A. Lloyd; 3 horses, A. C.
Brown; 2 horses, E. Hunt. The Caringa Packet, Cbillcott,
which was bound for Ceylon, carried Lieut. Biackall, Ensign
Bloomfield, Mr. E. Lot d, and Mr. Henry Van Deerlin."
(From the Madras Athenmum of July 26.)
The interest you always take in matters regarding navi-
gation and the welfare oh shipping has induced me to lay be-
fore you the following particulars of the unfortunate I).ss of
the barque Caringa packet under my command. We sailed
from Sydney on the 26th of April, bound for Ceylon and
Madras. Nothing of any note occurred until the sth of
May, when we passed about twelve miles to the eastward of
Wreck Reef ; the wind then veered to the E.N.E., and not
being able to clear Alert Reef and other dangers, bore away
to pass to the westward. On the 7th of May, at sunset,
shortened sail so as to pass through some dangers known by
the name of Tregosis's Island, on the Bth at noon passed
them in sight, and shaped a course N.W. by W. for Lizard
Island off the N.E. coast of New Holland, when at 9.45 P.M.
the chief officer, who had the watch on deck, discovered
something of an unusual appearance ahead. He called me,
but before I had time to order the helm to be put hard
a-port, the ship struck with a tremendous crash on a reef
and slewed broadside on. Immediately found seven
feet water in the hold. I ordered the masts to be
cut away and the anchors to be let go, for fear the
vessel should be driven over the reef and sink in deep
water—not being able to descry anything around
us, but a foaming sea. I then held a consultation with the
passengers and officers, when we decided to remain by the
wreck until daylight if possible, the sea now breaking over
the ship with tremendous violence. Fortunately the masts
had gone clear of the ship without injury to the boats, which
we now secured well. Daylight, as you may suppose, was
looked for by all on board with the greatest anxiety, when,
to our great joy, a small island was discovered not more than
half a mile from the ship. The wreck now lying more
steady, being well hove up on the reef, ragged a pair of
shears and with great difficulty succeeded in getting the boats
out without injury ; we then commenced to save what pro-
visions and water we could get at, and at night all hands
went to sleep on the island. At daylight again went to the
wreck, and found that during the night the sea had beat
violently over her, and her decks and topsides had partly se-
parated. We managed to procure a few more casks of water,
and some spars to construct a raft, our boats being only three
in number, and not large, they were not sufficient to carry
all hands the different of 1,200 miles before it was likely of
come to any place of succour. The raft I constructed st as as
follows—Four spars, lower yards and top-masts, placed at
equal distances, five cross pieces with empty water casks
lashed between each cross-piece; the whole well bolted and
lashed ; then came four upright stanchions, and a platform
laid over all. Lashed on a 100 gallon cask of water and sent
all hands on. It appeared to meet our expectations. We then
got the boats up on the beach to repair, found the cutter much
damaged, covered her bottom with tarred canvas. Everything
now being ready, the day fixed for our departure was the 21st
of May. On the morning of this day mustered all hands and
allotted them to their respective boats, having a crew of 24
men and the chief officer in charge of the raft. The Lascars
refused to proceed ; the Tindal came to me and said they
would rather we should proceed in the boats, as they had
now sufficient water and provisions for three months, and no
doubt by that time we could procure assistance. This opi-
nion being unanimous, we decided to man the boats, the
crews of which were as follows :—Long boat, 3 passengers,
second mate and myself in charge, the rest of the boat being
occupied by provisions and water ; cutter, 1 passenger, 2 sea-
cunnies, 3 lascars and chief officer in charge; gig, carpenter,
2 seacunnies, and Mr. E. Lord in charge—making in the
whole 15 souls. At 4 P.M. on the 21st left the island with a fine
breeze from the S.E. ; on the 22d it blew hard, with a heavy
sea, but being a moonlight night, it enabled me to keep
the boats together. We were much pleased to find the
boats behave so well, but as you may suppose it was a
constant scene of baling. On the 23d it still continued to
blow, and the sea running very high we now had to expe
rience a very melancholy accident, which threw a gloom over
all hands; for about eight P.M. the gig was capsised by a
sea, and, I am sorry to state, Mr. E. Lord sunk to rise no
more; the rest of the crew were saved by the cutter and my-
self. Proceeded on our voyage—daylight moderate. Lizard
Island in sight. We now f ;rind the weather we had expe-
rienced had not only damaged our scanty stock of provisions,
but had also made the water brackish. On the 25th entered
the Barrier Reef, and steered for Booby Island, in hopes of
falling in with her Majesty's ship Fly. Our next anxiety
was that of the natives, as we had to pass through the group
of islands noted for the inhospitable character of the p•_ople,
and where the ill-fated crews of the Eaton and Stirling Cas-
tle, a few years back, were barbarously murdered; and had
we been perceived in our defenceless state, no doubt we
should have shared the same fate. We saw several of their
fires on the land, but I passed through under the cloak of
night. On the tenth day arrived at Booby Island, where we
found the crew of the ship Hydrabad, of 600 tons, from
Sydney, bound to Calcutta, having lost their ship entering
Torres Straits. Fresh water was procured on the island,
and we managed to do pretty well, in the way of provisions,
with the oysters and a few fish I caught at times. On the
23d the schooner Shamrock hove in sight. I immediately
went off in the boat, and was rejoiced to find an old pas-
senger on board, and that the schooner was bound to Ceylon.
I need not say that we all met with a most hearty reception
from Mr. Has,all and the commander. He came to anchor,
and took the crews of both ships on board, in the whole 62
souls, and proceeded for Port Essington. The commander
of that place, Captain WArthur, has promised that every
exertion shall be used to promote the dispatch of a vessel
for the relief of the men left on the island. After remaining
three days we again sailed, bound for Ceylon, with the fol-
lowing passengers :—Captain Robertson, of the late ship
Hydrabad, and four passengers, myself, chief and second
officers, and three of my crew. To Mr. Hasall, owner 'of the
Shamrock, as well as to Captain Browning, the commander,
we all owe a debt of gratitude for their generosity, attention,
and kind treatment to us during the voyage.
The position of the danger on which the Caringa packet
was wrecked is as follows :—Latitude 16 52 30 south, longi-
tude by the means of 20 lunar observations 149 55 45 E.—
the chronometer showing a longitude of 149 55 E., variation
of the compass 9 degrees E.; rise of tide at springs 5 feet;
the island about 10 feet above the level of the sea, surrounded
by a reef dry in some places at low water, the wreck of
the vessel bearing N.E., by half a mile, and the whole of this
danger does not exceed 4i miles in circumference. Another
small island we observed to the S. W. about four miles, and
apparently a safe passage between the two, although the
charts show a clear navigatien from the Tregonis Island to the
coast of New Holland in a N.W. direction. It is my opinion
that other dangers exist, for on the 3rd night after leaving
the island in the boats I am certain we passed in the vicinity
of other dangers, although we saw nothing at daylight.
I have the honour to remain, yours obediently,
(Signed) F. B. CHILCOTT.

FALLING IN OF A PORTION OF DUBLIN-STREET.-

I About 12 or 15 feet of the road way in Dublin-street, which
is in course of being tunnelled for the Edinburgh and Gran-
' ton Railway, fell in betwixt two and three o'clock on Friday
morning. The common sewer, which overlies the tunnel,
was it appears, unusually flooded by the heavy rain which
fell on Thursday evening; in consequence of which the bot-
tom of the sewer began gradually to be undermined by the
water soaking through, and forcing in, the roof of the tunnel,
, which, at this particular spot, was supported by beams of
wood. prior to being arched over in the usual way with brick.
Having once got a downward outlet, the current could not
be restrained, and the workmen were obliged to desist from
their operation in this portion of the shaft. The vacuum
formed beneath the sewer by the destruction of the roof of
the tunnel, ultimately brought down the superincumbent
mass, forcing two of the beams and a quantity of rubbish
into the tunnel. Several feet of the sewer have in conse-
quence been destroyed, together with the pipes of the Water
Company, which rested upon it. The damage done to the
tunnel is, we believe, comparatively trifling; but it will tahe
some time to repair the rent made in the street, which is
rather formidable, being about 15 feet long, 8 feet broad, and
fully 10 feet deep.—Edinburgh Advertiser.
WORKHOUSE COOKERY.—`rise disclosures in the
Andover Union have thrown quite a new light on the science
of cookery, which not even the inspiration of a Soyer could
have hit upon. That ingenious chef de cuisne has blended
together poetry, pastry, and politics with considerable skill;
he has invented a creme d'Angieterre, consisting of charms
borrowed from the female aristocra,y ; but those ingredients,
imaginary and unsubstantial as they are, must be considered
as solids when compared with the materials used for consti-
tiding the dishes served up to the paupers in the Andover
Union. Butter, according to New Poor-law Cookery, is
made from the skimmings of grease-pots, and parochial tea
is made from boiling old leaves which have already had
their strength drawn out of them. A new Cookery Book,
edited by M'Dougal, the master of the Andover Union, is
evidently a desideratum in culinary literature which. even
M. Soyer's universal genius has hitherto left unsupplied.—
Punch.

FIRE AT LEWES.—lntelligence reached us late last
night from Lewes, of a destructive fire on the farm premissa
of John Ellman, Esq., the eminent breeder of Southdown
sheep, at Glynde. The flames were visible at Falmer, a dis-
tance of eight miles. We regret to say that a large barn
was entirely consumed ; but none of the inhabitants of Lewes,
who flocked to the spot to render assistance as soon as the
alarm was given, had returned when our informant left
