Remarkable Sea Voyage.

The ship Templar, Capt. Armstrong, has just been released from quarantine at San Francisco. Her trip from New York was remarkable. The captain's wife died of yellow fever after leaving Rio, with many of the crew; he was disabled of the same disease, and his daughter, also sick, sailed the vessel, taking observations when she could hardly rise from the bed. It was her first sea voyage, but the instruction she had received from her father was so well improved upon that she proved to be an efficient "master." The disease was so severe on board that all the furniture, etc., was burned in Saucelito Bay, near San Francisco. Miss Armstrong will probably be rewarded by the Underwriters for her heroism and skill in bringing the vessel to her destination. She was eleven months in the passage.
