THE HYDERABAD.

(PER PRESS AGENCY,) Foxton, January 23. The Jane Douglas has just arrived here. She was detained through having to discharge fifteen tons of coal for the Gleuelg, which is engaged in getting the Hyderabad off. The weather not suiting, the Jane Douglas was unable to tranship the coal into the Glenelg, and consequently landed it at the contractors’ wharf at the Foxton Kiver, where the plant from the Hyderabad was being landed. When the Jane Douglas passed this morning the Hyderabad appeared to be a quarter of a mile from where she was, but was still hanging by the stern, the bow being afloat, so that very little more towing will float her beyond all doubt. The weather being unfavorable this morning for work, the Glenelg was merely anchored a few lengths ahead of the Hyderabad, ready to take advantage of any slant of wind or weather. There is very little danger of the Hyderabad being again blown ashore, as on the first indication of unfavorable weather she is filled with sufficient water to enable her to resist any ordinary change in the wind, and to hold her position. When the wind becomes favorable the water is pumped out, and the work of towage begins. There is every appearance now of the weather moderating.
