Samson left for her usual trip to Oamaru shortly after the arrival of the 7.30 train this morning. • This morning a large steamer was observed entering the Heads. She proved to be the new Clyde built steamer Mongol, belonging to the Australasian and American Mail Steamship Company, after a passage of 49j days from Plymouth. She was brought up under the charge of Pilot Kelly, and anchored in the Quarantine Ground, having sickness on board. The Health and Clearance Officers proceeded down in the p.s. Golden Age, and on ascertaining the state of affairs ordered her into quarantine, and prevented further communication until the Board of Health met and decided upton the case. The Mongol is a screw steamship of 2,265 tons register and 400-horse power, and is fitted with all the latest improvements. She left Plymouth on the 25th December, and crossed the Line on the sth January; made her easting between the parallels of 48S. and 49 S.; sighted the Snares yesterday morning, and arrived at the Heads at 9 o’clock to-day. The only land sighted on the passage was the Canary Islands. Had fine weather, but head winds, during nearly the whole of the voyage, and was under steam the entire distance. Her passage has been a remarkably fast one ; her west day’s work being 379 miles. Besides a quantity of cargo for all ports, she brings 299 emigrants and twenty-five saloon passengers to our shores; but.of this number only twelve are for Otago, the remainder being for Canterbury, Wellington, •nd Auckland, Disease broke out on the day of leaving Plymouth in no less than three forms—measles, scarlet fever, and diarrhoea.
