A p*'. «• » *.x .<r'*%*%m received here from New Vlytscuth states that the s.s. Hawea lis lying on a sandy and rocky ground, submerged to tha poop rails ab high water, and the combings of her hatchway are awash at low water. She is inside the Breakwater, 70 fathoms from the wharf, and considerably sheltered. It, is thought by experts that her bottom is seriously injured. Sho can be floated off if tho condition of her bottom, on beeng surveyed, warrants the expense of recovery and repairs. Divers will gtf down to ascertain whether thi* ia tbe case or DOt.
