SMALL-POX IN NEW SOUTH WALES.

By the intelligence received per Novelty it will bo seen that Gardner's dining rooms have spread this disease as far as Now South Wales; and it is impossible to avoid contrasting the prompt action taken by the authorities in that colony with the scandalous apathy manifested here. It appears that on the morning after the arrival of the Hero at Newcastle Captain Logan called Dr Knaggs to visit a passenger suffering from a bad leg and blotches over the body. On consultation it was at once pronounced to be small-pox. The following description of the case is

from the Newcastle correspondent of the f^^Mail .—" Th'S name of the invalid is Joseph Sutcliffe, 26 years of age, steerage passenger for Melbourne. It appears some time before leaving Auckland he had dined at an eating-house in Auckland, where the man who has since died of small-pox dined. On Thursday, 27th June, left Auckland in s.s. Hero. He fell lick and vomiting on the following Satur day and Monday, although never before subject to sea sickness. The eruption appeared in face, and neck, and body on Friday, after which he got relief—the usual symptoms of small-pox. Yesterday (Sunday) it is reported the man was worse but no fever has yet appeared. I believe the disease is considered mild small-pox ; of course it is a matter of conjecture what effect this climate will have on cases of this kind." When the disease was discovered most of the passengers had already left for Sydney, but on intelligence reaching the Government these were promptly hunted up, and with the Hero, which was ordered round from Newcastle placed in strict quarantine at the station at Sydney Heads. At the same time San Francisco and Honolulu were proclaimed infected, and in another proclamation New Zealand and Victoria were placed in a similar category, and all vessels arriving from any of the ports of these two colonies as well as California and the Hawaaian Islands must go into quarantine.

This Company is being formed for the purpose ol purchasing and fitting out two or more vessels to en gage in Jthe Pearl Fishery and coUecting other article. in Torres Straits and elsewhere. This Fishery has within the last few months become exceedingly lucra tive, and several gentlemen in Australia have made large sums of money by sending small vessels to the North Coast of Australia to procure the Mother-of- Pearl Shell, which has been sold in Sydney at £200 per ton. If, however, even ..GO per ton be realised for the Shell, and the Pearls collected from the Shell be sold separately, it will pay exceedingly well. The vessels and outfit will be insured, to protect the Company against any unforseen accident, and the promoters have every hope of a successful voya»e. The crew will work on lays, as o\i the whaling vessels, to secure the utmost exertion on their part to produce success. The expedition will be in charge of a trust worthy Master Mariner connected with this port, and a well-known gentleman '.cquainted with the language of the natives and fl Je coast will accompany the expedition, and act as sn percargo to take charge of all goods for the purpose of trading, and also will take a strict account of every thins collected during the voyage.
