NEW York, March 25.-Captain
Butler, Of the Helene Marion. arrived
at Spithead IN distress, from New
York, for Antwerp. He states that
he left New York on the same day as
the steamer City Of Boston. On the
night of the 29th Of January he met
with a hurricane from the sOuthe asst
to southwest, which took away his
fOretOp, mast and jib-boom, although
he had no sail set at the time, and his
new sails were taken completely out
of the gasket, and blown away. He
believes the City of Boston must have
been in the same hurricane.
