Loss op the Barque Tndus. — The barque Indus , with a cargo of coals, &c, commanded by Caps. MoCall, left Newcastle on the 10th Maroh, bonud for Port Chalmers, New Zealand. Shortly after leaving, a violent gale set in from S.E., and the vessel commenced leaking badly, the leakage having increased from the time of leaving port. The leak was ascertained to have originated in the starting of the wood-ends forward. All hands were kept at the pumps, and every en deavour made to keep the ship afloat, but with out avail. Sail was then made for the nearest point of the Australian coast, but the water gained so rapidly that at last she was making 14 inches per hour. Under these oircumstancep, it was deemed advisable by the commander to abandon the vessel. The boat was accordingly launched, and the crew, trusting to their frail crafc, made for the -land, which was reached at Bermagui. The vessel when abandoned had 7 feet of water in the hold, and was left on the 17th February, in latitude 35.8 S., longitude 152.3 E.
