Nine deaths occurred on the voyage. Of these, seven were infants, aM two were seamen.

It was blowing stiffly at the time, the ship running 13 knots, so that, had there been any chance of saving him, the ship could not have been brought to without- great rislc. But, as there was no hope, it being dark and the unfortunate man having struck the davit in his fall, and not having, been seen after he fell, the ship held on her way. John S. Simmons, 22 months, whooping-cough, September 24th ; Harriet A, Osborne, 17 months, whoopingcough, September 24th j David J.

She has a sister with her who says that she showed no sign of derangement until the eyemng before embarkation, when she scolded others at the depdt, and awoke during the night and began to sing. During the voyage she has given considerable trouble, and has at times been .so bad that it was necessary to keep her in close confinement. The Other wap a single man, ' who is supposed to have been recently liberated from an asylum. This is a very bad case; the patient has been in such-a condition as to necessitate his; continued confinement. Captain Duncan reports leaving the Downs on the 21st June; had unfavorable weatherin the Channel, and did not get cleir until the 4th of July, on which day she. took her final departure at 9 p. m.; carried the trades bn to the o»pe de Yerde on the 20th, after which she had six day** calms; followed by S.S.W,' winds, which carried the "hip right;- in bn the African coast to dongi IP,: The Equator was crossed on the ,2nd August in lat. 20 W; Crossed the meridian of Greenwich on the 2nd in lat. 42.27 S., and that of the Cape of Good Hope on the 26th.

SERIOUS DISTURBANCES ON BOARD THE CHRISTIAN MAUSLAND

On August 2, when the M‘Ausland wad crossing the line, some of the seamen determined to carry out,the absurd notion of paying homage to Neptune. Their leader was an A K named Janies Murphy, who had. for assistants Andrew McKenzie, John M ‘Arthy, and Claude ,Manna The fo.hr,/fantastically dressed, came -wfe being,ordered to; go iorward by Mr Strachah, the chief mate, abused and. then fell upon him. Hearing the noise, the captain rushed on deck, and seeing his officer doWhand twhmeh-on top of him; hie pulled one of them > SS» and received in turn a blow in the face. A , serious fracas then ensued, , the men using vilel language and threatening to knife the captain, and avewing that they did not care for captain <doctor, or the Government. Captain Duncan and Dr Eaoson rushed out together, and endeavored to stop the affray, when Murphy, rising struck the form'er a severe blow over the head’ 1 and became, if possible, more violent than before. M'Arthy drew his knife, and threatened to, stab .and rip the captain up • while Mr Strachah endeavored to keep the men off the captain. While doing so, another of the four camtfffom behind and attempted to strike him but was prevented dicing so by some of the passengers. Several of the male passengers shielded the captain from further harm, and by an extreme effort th* mutiny was quelled.
