SHIP DUNEDIN, FKOM LONDON. This ship was signalled yesterday morning at 8 o'clock (she had been hourly expected, having been telegraphed from Dunedin aa having passed the Port Chalmers Heads on Thursday). She anchored on Thursday night some four miles outside the heads. Yesterday at 3 p.m. the Commissioners and Health Officers, accompanied by his Honor the Superintendent, left the wharf in the s.s. Mullogh and proceeded down to the ship, which was at that time lying at anchor, but when the steamer arrived alongside she was under weigh, the wind blowing fresh from north-east, and a flood tide. The steamer at once took her in tow and brought her up to an. anchorage off the town, and she dropped anchor at 7.15 p.m. The ship, which is owned by Messrs Patrick Henderson and Co (Albion Line) is a splendid model of a clipper ship. She was launched on March 3rd. The following are her dimensions : —Length of keel, 230 feet; beam, 36 feet; hold, 21 feet; tonnage, 1200 ; she has a full poop 30 feet in length. Her cabin accommodations cuiild not be seen well owing to a portion having been partitioned off for the single girls. They were very nicely painted and veneered, and very roomy. Her 'tween decks were lofty, well lighted and ventilated. She has a large double-purchase steam winch for discharging cargo. In addition to this she is provided with a splendid condenser, one of Chaplin's, capable of condensing 480 gallons per day. She has also a large oven for the use of the immigrants. The range, which is unusually large, and the condenser and oven have acted well throughout the voyage. The whole of the starboard cabins, with the poop cabins, were devoted to the single girls, and certainly such an arrangement could not have been improved upon. The usual inspection of immigrants was made by the Commissioners (and it may be as well to state that the immigrants are the second lot of Mr Duncan's selectiou.) The single girls' compartments were first visited, and here the signs of cleanliness were apparent, the floors were white, and everything neat and well arranged. The girls appeared happy and contented, and looked remarkably healthy. In reply to questions, they expressed themselves in the highest terms of the treatment they had received during the voyage. The next inspection was the married rjeople's compartment. Here, although the place appeared like a little town, so great was the number of persons below, yet the place was scrupulously clean, and the berths were well boarded and screcued,and the same remark applies to the single men's compartment, which was most unusually large and well lighted. The voyage appears to have been a very pleasant one, concerts and entertainments of various kinds having taken place and enlivened the monotony of the voyage, The single girls come out under the matronship of Mrs McConnochie ; Dr C. E. Smith is the surgeon-superintendent. During the voyage there have been 14 deaths, being mostly children, and 7 births. Of the immigrants generally, they appear to be admirably Buited for the requirements of the colony. They certainly look the best shipment that have been sent out for a long time, and reflect great credit on Mr Duncan. The following is Captain Whitson's report: Ship was launched on March 3rd, and passengers were embarked on 26th ; sailed on April 6. and landed pilot and one of the crew suffering from measels ; had good winds to catching the north-east trades, which were caught on April 18th, and proved light. Crossed the Equator on April 30th, 21 days out, and fell in with the south-east trades, which were good ; passed the parallel of 16 south 36£ west on May sth, twenty-five days from Scilly, and then lost the south-east trades. Had light winds from south-east to S.S.W. to 24 degrees south, and for four days drifted forty-five miles to south-east; thence had various and baffling winds to 30 degrees south 27 degrees west, which continued until 38 degrees south 15 degrees east. On May 25th and 26th experienced a heavy gale from eouth-eaat, Tbe meridian of the Uaue was

paused on June 2nd in 42i south ; thence to 80 degrees east had strong westerly winds, ship averaging 286 miles per diem lor nine From 80 east to the Snares had moderate winds and line weather, ship averaging 200 miles a day for eighteen days. The Snares were sighted on May 29th, seveutyu.ue days from teoilly : had light bullling winds and foggy weather up the coast. The ship has a large cargo, and comes consigned to the New Zealand Shipping Co. At present no arrangements have been made lor landing the immigrants. It is expected they will have to remain on board until Monday, they being provided with every necessary in the way of fresh meat, bread, &c.
