The Hydaspes.

Fresh Cases of Fever.

to Ifarn that the outbreak of a fK" pf f fever, and possibly another since ft* 1* CS!>e ocrs of the Hydaspes have been , jjjj P aSseB t f p Quarantine Station, renders it jjßd^ B', t jj,t they will be released for iffl|ir" h. io come. Th* first case that made ,otne time WBS that of a ma>ried immij{sapp ce*r g1 yjj ne ld, who has a wife and two pin*. 114 Upon the appearance of symptoms ctf'^iLgcethe parent was removed to the ■ / and yesterday the unmistakable ont on his body. His case is !igDV re(l o f a very severe type. * a will "" by the pigeon message £>iven below, **?Twas removed to the hospital last night, *^ g manifested fever symptoms. We are ' orry to learn that a child named nrtijim T Tuderwood, one year old, •j t the island yesterday of bionchitis ; ■ offin is being made in town, and will be '"{"down. -As will auo be seen by the *f expreS3 there are several causes of ''Llaint am nig the immigrants. With Cence to that relating to water, we may Jltion that barrels of water have been {down to meet all wants It is certainly arable that this necessity at the station aid be permanently supplied as speedily Lsible. Mr D.;y, on behalf of the saloon jeng<ra f forwarded a petition to the Lrmtendent praying that they may be biased. The petition sets out that the «!oon passeneers have been kept separate join the immigrants on the voyage out, and ■jpeearrival; they also state that they and ilJtheir belongings have been fumigated and jodanger coul«1 arise from their release. We neitainfy think their request might so far be mpliti with as to remove them to some plicespecially set apart in Auckland. SALOON PASSENGERS' RELEASE.

[Since the above was in type, we learn Hat Ur Phil? on, to the petition was referred, has agreed to the saloon passengers coming up. The steamer leaves to bring Hem up at 5 p.m.]

(PER CARRIER PIGEON.)

The Star carriers are looked upon with much interest as lit tie messengers from the |«d of promise, which we, like Moses of old, ieem doomed to look at only " from afar off." A young girl (adult) was taken to the hosjtal last night, and this morning her raptoms very much resemble those of the ({hers wbo have suffered from scarlet fever. MrW. D<y, of the firm of Heywood and Co., of Christchurcb, who is a saloon pissenger and accompanied by his rife and child, has sent a petition to ihe Chairman of the Board of Health requesting that the saloon UEPngers may be released There is great complaint among the saloon psssensers regarding the inconveniences they tie put to, es-psi.ily tVieir occupying the ssme builoing as Government immigrants, Bid which i 3 the case, we are told, jSno other quarantine station. The want of proper closets is also a source of great annoyance. The well is nearly empty, and, as a consequence, some of the £.irls have not washed for three days, and the want of pure water is greatly felt by all. Sine of the immigrants have been employing thenr'selves making artetian wells. Poor old Mr. Collins, of Nelton, a saloon pas-enger, is in a very frail state. He is sigbty years of sge, and is possessed with a iird idea that unless removed from the sland within a few days he will surely die. Ibis conviction is likely to biing about the auit. Can you not do something for him ? The casp of the immigrant Flyfield, who utiken to hospital a few days ago, is a rare one. The spots broke out yesterday. I wooden cross has been erected orer the se of Miss i ong, Mrs Babot having kindly iajed the cose. This is the first, yiave on h island, and we hope there will be no lore.
