IN A HURRICANE.
Melbourne, July 11. The brig Restless from Sydney which was disabled during a heavy gale has arrived safely. The master reports that the force of the hurricane strained the vessel severely, causing her to leak badly. Subsequently the vessel was thrown on her beam ends, and the masts had to be cut away to save her. At one time there was eight feet of water m the hold, and the brig was only kept afloat by the crew working continuously at the pumps.
