([f Al) T-i XI \ - ship'Josliua Bates left Calcutta on the, 18th March, and, liftdj.light. airsand fine weather generally during tlie passage. While coming through tl'ipßipja'fcPprfcPhilip Heads on Saturday last, she was pooped by two fearful seas, which did considerable damage to the vessel. We f take the following extract from Captain Walker's log *. — ,*7' r May-28, ten' ininutes to Ba.m.', pilot (Mr.»J6nes) came, on ; boardy and* -took* charge.- > At a quarter past ten made all sail, and ran for, the^Heads, [with v vaifine ; ;BtrQng*bipeez6 'from "'the ■ southward; ' After entering the Rip. at half-past eleven a.m., : the lighthouse on Point 'Lonsdale just opened tq the northward of [thotsignal-staff. tho wind died away. Two immense rollers, one after the other, popped the ship, carrying away every thing off tho poop, stove in tho, cabin .and* windows,-- filling the cabin with water, and starting the after-part of tho, deck, a quantity of water , going, down the aftcrscuttle. The wind "falling very light, hauled on a wind on the port tack- to go out again, when she sliippcd another heavy roller over the bows." Everything iii- theicabinis damaged, and Captain Walker will bo a heavy losor by this catastrophe. — Argus, 2nd inst.
