SHIP STONEHOUSE, FROM LONDON. This vessel, commanded by Captain Brey, and owned by Mr Morrison, owner of the s.s. Atrato, arrived in harbor yesterday morning, and came up to an anchorage off Camp Bay, the tide being at ebb. At noon the Health Officer, accompanied by the Commissioners and his Honor the Superintendent, went down to the ship in the s.s. Mullogh, and on arriving alongside they found that, although a number of deaths had occurred during the voyage, yet there was no sickness at that time on board the vessel. The usual inspection was then made. Of the ship we can say she is well suited for carrying emigrants, her ’tween decks being very lofty and well ventilated, but the lighting was very indifferent. An improvement in the married persons’ compartment was visible. The single girls come out under the superintendence of Miss Cole, who gives them an excellent character. The immigrants come out under the care of Dr Hoadley. His * duties have been rather heavy during the voyage. He states that after passing the Equator measles and ophthalmia appeared, the former amongst the children, and the lattor amongst the single and married families. The single girls were not affected by cither complaint. Between seventy and eighty cases of measles appeared on the voyage, resulting in twenty-four deaths of children.
