Wanganui arrived yesterday from her southern trip, and steamed alongside the ship Dallam Tower to discharge cargo. A ; barque was seen off the Heads this morning, and signalled for a tug.

ARRIVAL OF. THE J. N. FLEMING. ; n Messre Patrick Hendcrscn’s fine composite !-'sMp James ) NicHdl; Fleming, under the command of Captain Peacock, arrived at thd Heidfl'yesterday morning, with 302 statute adults from London. The tug Geelong pro- ' .ceedcd down and towed her to her anchorage off the radway pier, where she was immediately boarded by the Customs and Health-Officers. Notwithstanding the large number of passengers, the voyage has been remarkably free from sickness, there not having been a single death on board > hut we are sorry to say it was not through the attention of the ship’s surgeon, as - each compartment of passengers laid complaints against him for his neglect. The first complaint against him was made on the 23rd of . March .by the married couples to Captain Peacock for drunkenness and gross neglect, when • they asked Captain Peacock to take them under bis. care, .and treat them according to his ability. After which, the single men and t single. femmes laid complaints against to' the captain. Upon looking at the. vanous_ compartments we' found them to be remarkably clean, reflecting great credit ' upon Captain Peacock and his officers. The lleming left Gravesend on the 19th February discharged her pilot in the Downs on the 22nd’ . and took her final departure from the Start on ' the,2sth, with a S.W. wind which increased to a. gale, and lasted until the 27th, the ship runlung under lower topsails and foresail, and shipping a great deal of water. The wind then moderated; and came from the N.W. until-the 3rd March. Variable winds were then exponenced until catching theN.E. trades on the 12th in lat. 24.14 N., which were fresh, and - lost on the 18th In lat. 3.14 N. the S.E trades were immediately caught; crossed the Equator on the 19th in long. 25.47. The S E trades were very light, and were lost on the 28th in lat. 21.31. variables were then expa nenced until the 2nd April; crossed the meridian of Greenwich on the 10th April in lat. 37.10 with a westerly wind,-which continued until J the 14th, ‘The wind then came from the S.E., and on the 16th it increased to a ■ gale, the barometer standing at 28 - 70; passed ■ the meridian of the Cape on the 13th April, and on the 25th encountered another gale from the S.
