FOR the arrival of steamers from China.

pected, and the City of Picking. due here
on the 2lst, have been in quarantine at
Nagasah on account Of the bubontc
plague, so everything is being got in
readiness for them should it be necessary
to place the ships in quarantine on their
arrival. The Gaelic will also be due on
the 29th inst, but so far she has not been
Quarantined.

The bark Carrollton from Newcastle,
N S. W, with coal, had narrow es-
cape from going on DuXbury Reef in the
fog early yesterday morning. She was
coming in from Australia and Captain
Jones was feeling his way along with
the lead when the fog signals on the reef
gave him warning. 1t was so thick that
he did not know which way to turn, so
he anchored his vessel. When the fog
lifted q little the wind had died down and
the Carrollton could not get away from
the reef, owing to the close quarters. The
steamer Pomona from Eureka was pass
ing, so Captain Jones signaled her and
when she came alongside he asked Cap
tain Parsons to send him a tug. Soon
after the Pomona dOcked Captain Par
sons sent out the tug Sea Queen and she
brought the Carrollton in.
