A British Vessel, the "Fortuna", of 178 Tons, arrived here on the 26th Inst. for Amoy, with 134 Chinese Passengers.

On requiring the Master to produce the documents enjoined by the "Chinese Passengers Act" he said he had none; that his owners, Messrs Syme and Co of Amoy, had told him the Act did not apply to voyages from China to Manila.

The "Fortuna" is registered at Hong Kong, and will leave Manila in about 20 days with Passengers and freight,
