ARRIVAL OF H.M.S. NYMPHE.
? MAN LOST OVERBOARD. H.M.S. Nymphe, which vessel is on her way Home, arrived here at 1.30 this afternoon. She left Sydney on the 7th instant, and experienced some very heavy weather. On Wednesday last, during a severe storai, the second captain of the maintop, named Browse, who was assisting in reefing the maintopsail, misled his footing and fell into the sea. Although everything possible was done by those on board towards rescuing him all efforts proved in vain, the tremendous sea rendering the case a hopeless one. The Nymphe then proceeded on her way arriving as above. She remains here a few days to coal and provision for her voyage to England.
