The ship signalled on Sunday proved to be the Ballochmyle from London with immigrants, she came up to an anchorage on Monday afternoon off Rhodes’ Bay. The health officers, Drs Donald and Rouse, proceeded down to the vessel, and as there was no sickness on hoard she was at once cleared. The ship, which is a new one, and on her maiden voyage, is a fine model, and is well fitted throughout, her cabins are roomy and well furnished, and she has a large poop cabin for the saloon passengers. The ship was built and launched in January last, and was built by William Watson, Esq., her length is 245 ft, beam 38£ft, ’tween decks 9 ft, depth of hold 23 ft. On making the usual inspection, everything was found in admirable order. The emigrants’ compartments throughout were scrupulously clean, the ’tween deck lofty and well lighted and admirably ventilated. There was an improvement in the married persons compartment, the berths being high boarded and curtained, thus giving to each married couple greater privacy. The ship has a large condenser, which has acted fairly during the passage, but a better galley for the emigrants should have been provided. The emigrants look extremely well, and appear excellently suited to the requirements of the colony. The sur-geon-superintendent-, Dr Brajth, is an old friend, he having come out with several emigrant ships, and in this case he has again been fortunate, no disease having occured during the voyage. During the passage five deaths occurred three of infants from diarrhoea, and one from scald, a pannikin of boiling tea being accidently knocked over on to it. One adult, a female, died from heart disease. There has been three births during the passage. The single girls who came out in charge of Mrs Reardon are well spoken of. The voyage appears to have been a very pleasant one, concerts and amusements of various kinds having taken place during the afternoons. The ship was visited by the Commissioners and his Honor the Superintendent and Mr Holloway.' The latter expressed himself highly pleased with the arrangements, especially in the intermediate compartments. In addition to the Government immigrants, the ship brings a full complement of cabin passengers. The ship has a large cargo, and comes consigned to the New, Zealand Shipping Company.
