A PASSENGER boat No. 1,769, was picked up by the Water Police this afternoon near the Police Hulk. She had apparently been run down near Yau-mah-tee and drift ed into midstream, where she was seen and towed to the Police Hulk, under the supervision of inspector Grimes.

The epidemic which has been ravaging the flocks of horned cattle of late is now receiving the watchful attention of the authorities, who hope to check its further dissemination. The Hochi Shimbun reports the slaughter of three animals attacked with the disease in Yedo a few days since, which were subsequently burned. We understand the disease to have originated among the foreign or half-bred herds. the most part abstained from publishing on Hitherto the native newspaper have for the ichi-roku days. The new arrangement under which Sunday becomes a legal holiday, and the ichi-roku is abolished, hue decided the greater number of newspaper proprietors to observe it as a close day on and after the 1st April.

Taz presence of so many men-of-war in the harbour is causing considerable trouble to the Police, owing to the large number of men who have obtained leave to come ashore. Some thirty blue-jackets went into a restaurant kept by a Chinaman near the Liverpool Arms public house and had some fond there. They complained of the quality of the food, and one of them called out "down with the house." The ory was caught up by the whole party and down came the house, for they smashed up everything to it.
