Admitted; discharged with a caution.
The P. M. steamer Relief broke her crank shaft when within forty miles of this port on her last trip from Shanghai. The sails avail ble being hardly more than enough to keep her from drifting, word was sent to the agent here by a small boat. The Costa Rica, arriving from Yokohama at 11 p.m. of the same day, the 26th, was immediately sent to brin in the disabled steamer, and returned wit her in tow at 7.45 the next morning. The mails and passengers of the Relief have Leen transferred to the Oregonian, which arrived from Shanghai to-day. The broken shaft had been in use, we understand, for five years, but had a serious internal flaw running nearly the entire length, which was the cause of the accident. Messrs. Boyd & Ca, are making the necessary repairs, and the steamer will be ready to leave early next week.—Jbid.
