ARRIVAL OF THE CARTVALE.

The ship Cartvale from London, which arrived off the Heads on Friday but was prevented from entering owing to a head wind, was towed in on Saturday night by the s.s. Go-Ahead, and dropped anchor in the harbor at midnight. At noon on Sunday she went down to the Quarantine station, under canvass, where she will remain for some days to be thoroughly cleansed and fumigated, and to allow the immigrants time for washing, &c. This course was considered advisable by the Board of Health owing to the large amount of sickness experienced on the voyage out, and although there is none on board now,_ the precaution was a necessary one. Measles, diphtheria, diarrhoea, and scurvy, have occurred during the voyage causing nineteen deaths of children. Ten births occurred on the passage. Fine weather was experienced during the greater part of the voyage, which was a long one, to the Cape. Light winds prevailed to the equator, and thence easterly winds were most frequent. It is probable that the Cartvale will remain in quarantine for five or six days at least. The following is a classification of her passengers and their nationalities. Original number 418, equal to 3401 statute adults. 299 are of England, SO Scotland, 45 Ireland,. 25 Germany, and 11 Denmark. There are 79 families; 85 single men. 31 single women. The total number is comprised of 164 male adults, 120 female do., 59 male children, 54 female do., and 21 infants. Their occupations are classed as follows, land : Farm laborers, 37 ; gardeners,.! ; general laborers, 54; miners' navvies, 4 ; w*ell sinker, 1. Stock; —Butcher, 1; carter, 1 ; shepherd, 1. Wood Cabinetmaker, 1; carpenters, 14 ; joiners, 4 ; wheelwright, 1. Iron, &c.:—Blacksmiths, 7 ; hammerman, 1; locksmith, 1. Brick and stoneßricklayers, 4 ; brickmaker, 1 : masons, 2: plasterer, 1. Leather Saddler, 1; shoemakers, 9. Miscellaneous : —Painters, 4 ; platelayer, 1: plumber, 1; tailor, 1. The single women are classed as follows : —Cook, 1; dairymaids, 3 : general servants, 20 : housemaids, 3 ; laundress, 1: machinist, 1; nurse, 1; seamstress, 1.

The s.s. Star of the South went on the Slip on Saturday, for the purpose of being cleaned. The p.s. Luna arrived at about 2 a.m. yesterday from Auckland, with the San Francisco mail, and sailed again with the Southern portion at about 1 p.m. the same day. The ship Euterpe sailed on Saturday for San Francisco, and the barque Waratah for Napier. The p.s. Manawatu, Captain Griffiths, left Wanganui at 9 a.m. on the 10th, having been bar-bound since the 7th ; arrived at the wharf at 10.15 p.m. same day. Experienced a strong westerly wind and heavy sea throughout the passage. The New York papers of August 10th report that the ship Rosalie, from Port Townsend for New Zealand, had put back on the Ist of that month, having sprung a leak. The s.s Ladybird arrived in harbor at C. 30 a.m. yesterday, from the South. She left Port Chalmers on the Bth, arrived at Lyttelton at 2 p.m. on the 9th: sailed at 2 iJ.ra. on the 10th, arriving here as above. Experienced fine weather throughout the passage. She will sail for the North to-day. The s.s. Go-Ahead, Captain McGPLivray, arrived at the wharf at midnight on Saturday, after having towed in the ship Cartvale. She left Wanganui at 8.45 a.m, on Saturday morning, and crossed the bar at 9.25 a.m., eight minutes in advance of the Manawatu, and thirteen of the Stormbird, with fresh westerly wind and heavy beam sea, which was experienced throughout the passage; arrived alongside the Cartvale off Sinclair Head of 7.10 p.m., four minutes after the Stormbird had passed her, arriving here as above; the Manawatu’s smoke being just visible on the horizon behind at dusk. The Go-Ahead has come here, after an absence of about eight months, to be placed on the slip in order to be cleaned and painted. We observe from the report of Messrs. Arkell, Tufts, and Co., dated New York, sth August, that the barque Sunlight was then loading at New York for Port Chalmers and Wellington, and was expected to sail on the 10th of that month. Misconduct of Seamen. —The Otago Daily Times of the sth instant gives the following particulars of an assault on the captain and chief officer of the shij> Christian McAusiand, on her late voyage from London to Dunedin with immigrants;—“Amongst the crew of the ship are four A.B.s named James Murphy, Andrew McKenzie, John McArtney,and Clause Hann. These men were the disturbers of the peace on thi* occasion, Murphy acting as leader. On the 2nd August the ship crossed the equator, and, it being Murphy's turn at the wheel, ho came aft, dressed in a rather fantastic stylo. The chief officer, thinking the manner in wluch the man was dressed was exceedingly imprudent in the presence of women and children, ordered him forward to effect a change. Murphy at - first obeyed, and went forward, but came aft again with McArtney, also dressed in a burlesque style. The two men were immediately ordered forward, but this time Murphy, backed up by McArtney, decidedly refused, and the pair commenced abusing the miate, and hauled him off the poop-deck. He and Murphy fell.ihe mate being uppermost, but McArtney came to his companion’s rescue, jumping on top of the mate. The struggle was then continued between the two men and the mats. Dr. Eadson, who was at this time sitting in the saloon writing, seeing what was going on, at once called Captain Duncan, who was in his private cabin reading. The captain and doctor rushed out together, and endeavored to stop the affray, when Murphy rising struck the former a severe blow over the head, and became, if possible, more violent than before. McArtney drew his knife, and threatened to stab and rip the captain up ; while Mr. Strachan, chief mate, endeavored to keep the men off the captain. While doing so, another of the four came from behind and attempted to strike him, but was prevented doing so by some of the passengers. Several of the male passengers shielded the captain from further hann, and by an extreme effort the mutiny was quelled. More particulars are likely to be elicited before a magistrate." The Emjja Mary.-— The Eliza Mary, a handsome brigantine, commanded by Captain S. Stewart, late of the brig Craigcllachie, arrived at the Port yesterday afternoon from Lyttelton. She is the same vessel that stranded at Waitara two or three months ago, and her position seemed so perilous that she was abandoned and sold for the benefit of the •underwriters. Messrs. Webster .Bros., of Taranaki, purchased her for £BSO, and, their star being in the ascendant, they succeeded In re-launching the vessel at a minimum of cost, and in a condition so slightly damaged that she was despatched to Havelock to load timber for Lyttelton. She made a good trip of it, and, contrary to expectations, leaked nothing, but as it was rendered evident by a slight indication of a hog amidships that she was strained more or less, and, moreover, having to bo re-classed for insurance, she has com© on here to bo docked and thoroughly repaired. Lyttelton was left on the 29th ult., and on the Ist last, she had to run into Akaroa for shelter from the heavy S.W. weather of that date. Left again next day, with light easterly weather, which, however, proved but a slight break in the gale, as at midnight it came on to blow as hard as ever, and did sot abate again until Sunday morning, Then a N.E.

breeze sprung up, and hold to her arrival yesterday. She sailed in, and is, of course, in ballast trim. The Eliza Mary is a remarkably comely vessel, not one year old yet. She was built of Australian hard wood, at Lake Macquarrie, N.S.W., and had made three trips prior to her stranding at Waitara. On one of them she took 270 tons of coal from Newcastle to Auckland. She lias beautiful lines, is elliptically sterned, and bears the reputation of a clipper.— Otago Daily Times, October 0. , , The Steamer Easby.— Captain Underwood, of the Albion, s.s., telegraphed from Nelson to Mr. Fulton on Friday;—“Passed Easby, s.s., off Mana Island, 2.30 a.m. to-day, moderate south-east wind.' This being the case, the Easby must have made one of the smartest passages on record through Cook Strait, having left the Railway Pier at Port Chalmers at 5 p.m. on Wednesday last.—lbid.
