Tho English mail brought by the Mariposa boars London dates to August Bth. Tho Mariposa left 'Frisco on the BOth ult., one day after contract date, and had a remarkably fast run down, in consequonce of the outbreak of cholera, it was deemed advisable to have a thorough inspection of the vessel made by the Health Officer, and consequently the Mariposa dici not come straight up to the Wharf. Sho was met by Dr. Lewis the Health Officer on the way up the harbour, and stopped off tho end of QueenBtreet Wharf to await the result of the inspection and iumigation of the mails.
