The W. B. Dance, of the Star line, came up yesterday morning and returned in the afternoon. The T. L. McGill with her Chinamen passed down night before last.

For a few weeks past, a daughter of Mr. Carroll of the St. Nicholas, has been ill of fever. Medical skill was baffled, the loving care and unwearied watching of relatives availed not to stay the hand of the dread messenger of death. She expired yesterday afternoon. Miss Hattie Carroll was seventeen years of age, and a sociable and accomplished young lady. During the short time she has lived in this city she has endeared herself to many friends. The distraught family have the sympathy of all who know them, in their bereavement.
