From the Norfolk HeTad-Sept Is.
.4rriudl Of the Beagie.-The U. S. schooner
Beagle, LIT. CONT Newton, from Thompson's
Island, came in from sea on Saturday evening,
and proceeded up the bay for Washington
after landing Lieut.. Gardiner, lone of her of
iCers,) and Lieut.. Moorehead, Lieut.. Walker
(of Marines and Doctor Hamilton, (of the
y. S. ship John AdamS) passengers, at old
Point Comfort. The three first named gen-
tlemen came up to this place yesterday after
noon, the latter remains at Old Point, in IN
health, and will probably proceed up to Wash
ington this morning in the steamboat.
The Beagle briggs Us most disastrous intel
ligence from Thompson's Island. We learn
from conversations with Leutenants Moore
head and Gardner, that about the Goth Of Au-
gust symptoms Of the yellow fever manifested
themselves at that place, and in a very short
time there were nearly forty cases Of the dis
ease and to heighten the distress the John
Adams arrived there two or three DAYS after
from Vera Cruz via Havana, with two or
three cases of the fever on board. We have
not learned with sufficient accuracy TO an
nounce it, the number of deaths on the Island
at the time the Beagle left, nor the number
she left sick there. The following, however.
is list of the officers who had died previous
to her sailing -
Lieut.. G. w. Somervile; Midshipman Mar
shall Midshipman Reed, Of the John Adams !;
Mr. Anthony Grice, carpenter Mr.. Thorn
as, captains clerk, John Adams Mr.. Morri-
son, gunner, do.
The sick were removed TO the hospital as
soon as they were attacked, where every at
tention was paid them under the direction Of
Doctor Williamson, Hospital Surgeon Of the
station, whose unwearicd exertions, no less
than bis professional skill, had been most en-
nently serviceable.
The j ohm Adams is stated to have been in
he cleanest possible condition, and every pre-
canton had been taken to render her healthy.
It is not believed that her sick received the
disease on board, but rather that they con-
.racted it at Havana.
