The ship that was seen of! the Ocean Beach turned out. as was expected, to be the Christian M'Ausland, from London. She was towed up by the Geelong and anchored off Otahiti Point. She was placed in quarantine, having scarlatina on board. A report of her passage could not, of course, be obtained, but we have received the following particulars : The ship left London on Sep ember 4th. There were thirteen cases of scarlatina during the voyage, but none fatal. One adult and five infants died from other causes, and one child is still ill on board. The Christian M'Ausland reports seeing a large square-rigged vessel off the Snares, and she will probably be the long-looked-for Palmerston.

But for the timely assistance of some Admiralty craft, it seems that the s.s, Atrato would have been in imminent danger of going on shore. She left Plymouth on the evening of the 17th lilt., with 460 passengers. About ten o’clock that night the surgeon heard a shock, and about an hour later the engines commenced to “gallop”—a sure sign that the propeller had been disabled. It was soon found that the four blades of the screw had been carried away. The ship was put under sail, and steered for Plymouth, but a gale of wind was blowing, and she lost two anchors. The buoy originally laid down for the West Indian mail steamers was then made for, and as the Atrato passed a schooner, her helpless condition was made known, and a boat’s crew from the schooner took a hawser on board. A larger one was afterwards got from H.M.S. Thalia, and the steamer was at length safely brought up*
