OTAGO. [From the Otago News, Dec. 29.]
The fine new ship Mooltan, from the Clyde armed here on Wednesday, the 26th instant, after a run of 106 days. On leaving Greeuocjc she bad 158 passengers on board ; bat lost 9 from an epidemic, similar to the cholera, which broke out during the passage, and 6 frofti various 'other causes ; reducing 'the original number to 143, all of whom, with two exceptions, are for this place. The news of the cholera having appeared on board the Mooltan during her passage out created no little alarm amongst our small community, as one of her boats had been allowed to land at Uunedin, and some of the passengers had visited the Port. Mr. Strode, the Police Magistrate, having had the subject notified to him, instantly left Dunedin with a medical gentleman to visit the ship and see if there were any grounds to justify his placing her under quarantine : but, we are glad to say, that such is not the case, and the passengers will therefore be immediately landed. The New Zealand Company advertised the first class ship Berkshire, 582 tons, to sail from the London Docks for all the Company's settlements, on the Ist of October.
