The Great Britain’. —'Hie following notice appears in the Supplement of the Government Gazelle of yesterday Colonial fSecretaiy’s Office, Melbourne, 22nd August, 1854. Quarantine.— Cases of small-pox, having occurred on hoard the steam ship Great Britain during Iter passage from England to this port, Ins Excellency the Lieutenaut-Goveinor, with the advice of the Executive Council, under tbe authority of the Acts of the Governor and Council of New South Wales, 3rd William IV., No. 1, and sth Victoria, No. 12, has deemed it necessary to place the vessel, crow, and passengers under quarantine, in conformity with the provisions of those Acts, for a period of fourteen days from the c nvalescence of the last case of infectious disease, of which all persons are hereby to take notice accordingly. Tho boundaries of die quarantine station at Port Nepean are specified in a proclamation dated die 23rd day o( November, 1852. By his Excellency’s command, John Foster ” —Argus. The Great Britain (s. u.), In consequence of an order from the Colonial Surgeon, got under weigh early yesterday morning, and steamed to the Quarantine Station. Dr. Hunt had toft tho vessel on the preceding day, and proceeded to the Heads in the Lady Jocelyn. Two of tho pilots had been permitted to leave tbe ship; the mails had been discharged without undergoing fumigation, mul tho Great Britain had been brought to anchor in the very centre of a number of ships, she having been declared by Dr. Hunt to he in quarantine. Thus it will be seen that had disease of a violent nature existed amongst the passengers, every means has been afforded for the propagation of the malady, not only amongst parties ashore, but amongst shipping in the Bay. The quarantine laws have been entirely broken, through the lassitude of the medical official who had charge of the ship. The pilots have since returned on boaid in consequence of tbe order from the Colonial Surgeon, that the Great Britain should proceed to the Quarantine Ground. This irreguiaritv in a matter affecting the lives of perhaps hundreds of people calls for, and wo have no doubt will receive, a most searching investigation; for it is but just to the public that they should be protected from the introduction amongst them of a disease so ravaging us the small-pox, and it is also due to the owners of

the vessels for it to bo proved whether such malady was really existing or otherwsie. The subject, no doubt, will bo taken up in a proper quaiter, and such steps taken for the purpose of securing in future tire proper carrying out of quarantine regulations as this important law necessarily calls for.— JU. M. Herald, August 23. The Russian Fuic.aies,— Captain Milne, of the barque Rattler, reports that on the 13th of June, at Rio a Swedish ship arrived at that port from Valparaiso, and reported a severe action having taken place outside Valparaiso with the Russian frigates Aurora and Diana, and two English vessels, names not mentioned, lire Russians were said to have been defeated after a well contested action, and one of’them, dismasted, was towed into Valparaiso. Ihe report he considers should be received ••with caution.” The English men-of-war. Rifleman, Madagascar, and Sharpshooter, the Russian schooner Requida. ami the American frigate Savannah, are also s nted to have been there. Admiral Henderson had gone horn. 1 in Iho Severn mail packet, and on the 12th the French frigate Alceste had sailed for the west const of America. Tho Rattler spoke on the 2‘2nd April, the ship Ferunn, in latitude 38-20’ N., longitude 15-16’ W, hound to Valparaiso, and on the 2nd May, signalled the Windermere, from Port Phillip, to London. On the 3rd July, the barque Severn, from Gloucester to Geelong, was ej.oken in latitude 35-32’ S. longitude 7-50’ V\. The Rattler had met with such severe weather, as to bo compelled to cast a portion of tho cargo overboard.— M. M. Herald, August 28.

A mutiny broke out on the 20th ult., among tho seamen on board the Fidelia, American emigrant vessel belonging to Paring Brothers, Liverpool, and lying in the Mersey, intending to sail for New 5 ork. it is said that Captain Dickson shot one or two men, and that during the stiuggle a number of tho sailors were seriously bruise 1 . 13 of the mutineers were brought ashore in custody. \\ bile the emigration officer was clearing tin l ship, the mate ordered the hands forward, They refused to obey, and he seined one by tiro arm, when the filiow drew his knife from the sheath, and made several attempts to slab the mate, when the Captain sprang forward and discharged two pistols among the mutineer's, both sbois taking effect. One man was shot through the back of the neck, and is said to be in a dangerous condition; the oilier man was only slightly wounded. Heine News, July 10. 3i EAWsine Transi-orts.—Our Southampton letters state that the fittings on I oard the Peninsular and Oriental Company’s steamships Himalaya and Simla for the reception of cavalry, horses, Ac., arc being rapidly proceeded with, and these vessels will be ready for sea next week. J lie government is also about to take up the Company’s screw steamships Colombo, of 1850 tons, and Candia of 1960 tons, for the conveyance of provisions and stores to the Black !sea, as iiDo the Royal Mai! steamship Avon, of 1950 tons, now lying in the Southampton docks, for the transport of troops to the Baltic. The Royal Mail steamer Orinoco is ready to •t irt, and will embark 1200 men, 33 officers, and 18 horses, on Monday ; tLis body of men (supposed to be the Rifles) being under orders to arrive at Soulhamp-on on that day. The Peninsular and Oriental Company’s steamer R jab was to have proceeded to the Black Sea with gunpowder and military stores, but owing to a defect in hj r maclrinery, cannot be made available. The General Sen w Steam Shipping Company’s great screw s earner Prince will he ready fur sea on the lot i instant, and is to embark 2000 French troops for the Baltic, and to be convoyed by the line of battle ships now fitting out for the conveyance of further regiminta of French soldiery, to lie employed in conjunction with the British and French fleets in operations against the Russian fortresses in the Baltic. The Government is stated to bo in immediate want of more steamers, and it is probable some of the steamers at Liverpool, belonging to the Messrs. Canard, will likewise be char, tend for the conveyance of either troops or stoies, and that possibly some of their powerful paddle-wlnel steamers will nDo be required. A considerable quantity of goods in transitu to the Mediterranean and other places is now detained at Southampton, wailing shipment, the inconvenience being caused by ships of small tonnage having been recently despatched with rhe mails, in place of ships of large size generally used, and on board these steamers no room can be found for the quota of merchandize usually carried by the packets.— Times , Julv !t.
