Tlic barque Undaunted, which sailed from tliis for Swansea, on Thursday, 30th Alay, returned to port on S'nulav. On Fcld-iy, alioiit 3 p.m., being off Cuvii-r's island, with a moderate breeze, but heavy cross sea, tint slii|i was discovered to be making more water tli in usual, ami so steadily did tliu leak continue, to inciease, that by S o'clock the pumps linil to be kept constantly going. Und-rsiicli circumstances, Captain Walker bad no other alternative, than to haul his ship by the wind, and bring her once mure into harbour, where a survey will be held to determine what may be necessary to be done. The following interesting account of the bus of the Ocean Queen, bus been furnished by one of tm: crew who nriivnl utHobirl Town in live .Nautilus. The Ocean Queen, SOO tons Captain Charles Jewell, bound from Loudon to Aden with coals, was desiroy.>:l by lire in litilude 2.5 ° S., mid longitude 5a ° K. On tOt'i December a slight quantity of smoke was peroi ived by the crew to issue from the fore hatch. The circumstance was reported to the captain, who thought it was merely the dust from the coa's forced up by the diaft. No more notice w;n taken of it until the next mornirg at daylight, when we found tiie smoke had greatly increased. Tiie carpenter called the captain and told him he thought the coals weie on lire, upon which the laiter ordered all the provisions and lumber to be cleared out of ihe fore hold, and had long iron rods driven down tliiongli ihe reals to a-cei-triiu where the tire was. About iluee o'clock in the afternoon the rods weie i.'rnwn up, and found to be quite cold ; they werothiii driven down through t'ic main hatch, and remained until five o'clock,when they were ajain drawn up, and weie discovered to be ncaily led hot. \Ve immediately commenced ihro» ing thoeoals nverhoaid, in hopes of reaching the Ibe, and continued until half-past three on the morning oi the 21st, when a quantity of g.is exploded botween the lore and main hntctie.s, and tinfire spread so rapidly, that we ><ere compelled to t*ke to the boat*. The captain and tliiitien hands look charge of the Hist cutler and jol-y------boat, mid the. mato and lonrtccu hand- to>k the lung--o.v. and second eu't-r. In live nvnuUs ulier we left hei the mas s fell over the

side. We remained close t-i tile ship until niulnight. when she went down; \vc were then nliont 2-IO miles lu the.Miuth-west of Honrbon. All the boats reni;i'm< il in company until 'he night of the 2-tih, when a heavy si|imll dismasted the long boat, and parted us from the cnpliiin, since which we have hcaid nothing (if hiiu.) We tried to reach Ilnurbon, hut Imving n head wind and «urrcnl, we were compelled on the '2i)i\t lo bear up for Madagascar, in hopes of seeing some vessel, or getting water as we were reduced lo half u pint of water mixed with ale per day. We niide St. Luces' Hay, hut the natives would not idlowMis to land, or give ns any water, unless we agreed to fight against Hie white men, as they expected to he invaded by the French or English; so we were compelled to keep on until the Gth January, when we were picked up by a French barque in St. Auirustinc's Bay, and taken round to Kourhon.— llobarton Courier.
