The Hydroose. 

 News from Madras received to-day mentions that the Hydroose. (Lin- 

 ton,) from Calcutta, bound to the Mauritius, had put into Coringa for 

 repairs, having experienced much squally weather in her passage hence, 

 in which she received much damage. On the 15th ultimo, when in 

 lat. 12° 8' N. and long. 84° 47' E. the bad weather began ; and on the 

 following morning it increased with heavy gales from E. to N. E., wind 

 shifting to the Westward during the day, with a high sea on — they 

 were then in lat. 11° 37' N. and long. 84° E. — the vessel labouring 

 much. At this time she began leaking, and the pumps were kept con- 

 stantly going ; the leak being in no way lessened, and all her sails hav- 

 ing been split in a heavy gust, besides a portion (800 bags) of her 

 cargo having been thrown overboard to lighten her, she was obliged to 

 put into Coringa for repairs. — Calcutta Courier, June 11.
