Owing to the fact that there was no communication between the Mystery and the shore previous to our last publication, we were unable to supply sundry particulars respecting the passage. The families of Newton and Heyward, though shown on the list of passengers, were put on shore again before the departure of the vessel, on account of sickness breaking out among them. The list given, also, did not contain the names of the second-cabin passengers, who were Mr. and Mrs. Garland, Messrs. W. Amos, G. Burnley, J. Gould. J. E., and J.C. Gillespie, J. Frame, W. J. Dawe, J. Cunningham and A. Blackland. The Surgeon is Mr. Richardson, a gentleman who has had considerable experience on board ships, as we understand, sailing out of United States ports. His skill and attention are acknowledged by the passengers, not only individually but in a quasi public form, in a newspaper, published on board, which we have been permitted to look over. Captain Matthews has also secured the hearty good will of all on board. The deaths which occurred were in all fifteen in number, of which several are described as having occurred from the after effects of smallpox in the first three weeks of the voyage; the rest are from debility and similar causes, and all are children.
