SMALL-POX IN SYDNEY.
[BY TELEGRAPH—COPYRIGHT.] [REUTER’S TELEGRAMS.] Sydney, Saturday. A case of small pox has occurred here. The sufferer is a man named Alexander, who was one of the crew of the Glaslyn, wrecked in the China Seas. He lately arrived from Hong Kong in the steamship Port Victor, which carried several passengers, and brought a clean bill of health. He spent one night in the Sailor’s Home here, the inmates of which are now all quarantined. Alexander has been placed aboard the quarantine hulk far away. It is known that six of tho Port Victor's passengers went to New Zealand by the Wakatipu on her last voyage from this port.
[by TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.] W Ellington, Monday. The efforts of tho authorities to discover traces of small pox on the passengers by the Wakatipu have been fruitless. It is believed that as the disease was in its latent stage it was not communicated to those who came by that steamer, and who were in company with the man in whom the disease subsequently developed.
