ARKIYAL OF THE SUSSEX.

The tug Geelong proceeded down this morning, and towed up the ship Sussex, under the charge of Pilot Kelly, and she was moored close to the railway pier. The Customs and Health officers went down in the Peninsula, the representatives of the Press being kindly invited to accompany them. Upon going alongside, in answer to the usual questions, we were informed that they had a clean bill of health. The ship looked remarkably clean, considering the number of passengers on board, especially the single females’ portion, their compartments being part of the saloon and the after-part of the *twe«n-decks. The single women have been under the charge of Mrs Field (matron). The married people’s department was very clean, and their berths were more enclosed than in other ships that have arrived here with immigrants. The single men are in the fore compartment. In answer to the Immigration officers, the passengers expressed themselves satisfied with the treatment they had received. The whole of the passengers speak highly of the general conduct of Captain Strap, Dr Hamilton, and the officers or the ship. Captain Strap reports leaving Gravesend on April 18; was towed down to Beachy Head, and landed the pilot at the Isle of Wight on the 19th; cleared the Channel on the 21st, with fine weather; had strong S.W, winds in the Bay of Biscay, and got theN.E. trades on May 5. in lat. 30N., which were lost on May 16. The S.E. trades were immediately caught in 2N m and the Equator was crossed on the 27th in 26.435. The S.E. trades were lost on the 23rd, in 17.135., long. 28WV; had doldrums for two days, and caught the westerlies in 225., on the 26th May; crossed the meridian of the Cape on the 10th June, in lat. 445.; then had strong N, and N.W. gales. The barometer on June 17 was down to 28.14 ; had a heavy gale from the N.N.E., which veered round to S.; hove to under main topsail, which blew away on the 18th; was hove-to at 4 p.m„ and the mainsail and staysail were blown away at 2 o’clock next morning; the gale continued for three days. Her easting was run down on a general parallel of 465.; had strong gales from the westward, and crossed the meridian of Cape Leuwin on the June 30. Westerly winds were then experienced till the 9th, when she got another strong gale from the N., which lasted for thirty hours. Passed the Snares on the evening of the Hth, with thick weather, and sighted the land about Bluff Harbor on the the 12th ; was off the Heads at 11 a.m. on the 13th, when a heavy S.W. squall blew her away to the N. Came back to the Heads again yesterday morning, where she anchored until being towed up as above. The following are the names of those that died:—James Wall, one year and seven months, on May 6; Phillip Rouse, two months, on the same day; Geo Wibling, five months, also on May 6; Geo. Bourne three years and two months.
