EAST INDIA SHIPPING.
In our late Edition of last week we announced the safety of the long missing Bridgwater. She was dismasted in a dreadful hurricane which she encountered on
the 4th, 5th, and adz Mardi in hit. 20 south, lair. 90 east, and bore up for India. She reached Madras on the Mardi, April, and having landed her passengers at that place, proceeded to Calcutta for repair. The injury which she sustained was so ex- tensive, that fears were entertained of her being condemned. All the Company's Regular China Ships have now arrived except the Vansittart and Charles Grant, which have reached St. Helena, and the Bridgwater. The extra ship, Larkins, the last of the season, was to leave Canton for Halifax about the 150, April. Several of the Chinamen which have arrived this week were accompanied from St. Helena by H. DT. Ship Ariadne, in consequence of the mutinous conduct of their crews. This precautional measure which was resorted to by the Government at St. Helena, in opposition to the wiles of the Commanders, has led to very exag- gerated statements relative to the conduct of the seamen.
