Omeo, Captain Calder, arrived in harbor yesterday at 2.30 p.m. from Melbourne, via Bluff and Dunedin. She left Melbourne 3 p.m. on the Bth, passed through the heads 6 p.m, and as easterly weather threatened she cleared the Straits by Kent’s Group passage. Light southerly weather and smooth water favoured her until the afternoon of 13th, when she was within twenty miles of South West Cape. It then eamo on to blow from 3.W, and a heavy sea got up, aud as the horses had to be cared for was hove-to. Next morning the gale abated, and she was kept away ; passed the Solanders, and arrived off the Bluff 6 p.m, too late to go In; stood ofl’ and on until next morning, when she arrived on the 16th. Left Bluff same day, had a strong N.E. wind, with a heavy sea; arrived at I’ort Chalmers 1 p.m. on the 16th; left again at 8.50 p.m, on Tuesday, experienced strong S.E. winds, arriving as above: She sailed for Melbourne via South about 10 p.m. last night. ARRIVAL OF THE CICERO. ■jl This ship was signalled on Tuesday evening, and on Wednesday morning a little after ten the health and immigration officers, agents, Customs authorities, &c., proceeded in the s.s. Mullough to the ship. The morning was a wet and squally one, but the weather became better as the day proceeded. The vessel was lying near the heads, abreast of the - pilot station. She is a fine iron ship of 1130 tons, I commanded by Captain Raymond, yras built In 1861. and belongs to Liverpool. All anxiety as to the health of the immigrants was speedily removed pj « few queitiww to the surgeon superintendent,

Dr W. .1. Davison, and the party proceeded on board. Two hundred and thirty-seven immigrants arrived in the ship, and there wore also nine saloon passengers. There were four births during the passage, and one death, that of an infant six weeks old, that was born on board, and there was no infectious disease. Her saloon .is comfortable, though not large, and Captain Raymond, the surgeon superintendent, and lirst and second officers, Messrs Coombes and Blandford, were well spoken of by those under their charge. We first visited the single women’s compartment, which was under the charge of Mrs Friend, assisted by Edith Rennodlne. It was light, airy, and lofty, and in a very cleanly state, a good bathroom being attached. Tile girls, thirty-six in all, are principally from the West of England, but there were a few Irish amongst them. The matron spoke well of them, and as they are nearly all domestic servants, and seem strong and well able to work, no doubt they will quickly be absorbed. Some needle work, as usual, was done on the passage, and the articles, when made, presented to the girls. In the married people’s compartment there were twenty-eight families, including more than sixty children. Here again the order was good, and the ventilation excellent. Very few in this division were tradesmen, the great majority being agricultural laborers, nearly all English, with just a sprinkling of Irish and Scotch. No less than seventy occupied the single meu’s compartment, three of whom paid their passage. They are nearly all farm laborers, and are principally English. The following is the captain’s report:—Left Plymouth on the Ist February, passed the Lizard on the 3rd. The wind being light and. westerly, and the weather tine, there was consequently but little seasickness among the passengers. The line weather and light westerly winds continued to 42deg N., and had an excellent effect as far as the health of all on board were concerned, but a bad one as regarded a quick passage. Alter a short spell of northerly winds, and a gale from the N.W. of twenty-four hours’ duration, fine weather and moderate winds set in again and continued until the latitude of Cape de Verde was reached, and then the ship remained in calms and light winds for five days. The N.E. trades were reached after passing the Islands, and continued with moderate strength to the Equator, which was crossed on the 6th of March in 24deg W. After a few days of light variable winds and calms, the S.E. trades sprung up in 20deg S. The winds continued in that direction, and with moderate strength, as far as 40deg 8., experiencing fine weather all the way. The meridian of Greenwich was reached in 44deg S., after a long passage of 64 days. Hence to 135 E. the ship experienced a very fine run of northerly winds, making on an average 1500 miles per week, with, comparatively speaking, smooth water and fine weather, and making the run chiefly in 47deg S. lat.; over the short remaining distance, from 135 deg E. to the longitude of the Snares, a full fortnight was spent, experiencing all the way a succession of easterly gales and strong breezes. After passing the Snares on the 16th, a strong gale sprung up from the south, the light on the Nuggets was sighted at 3.30 a.m., of the 17th, and at daybreak of the 18th Banks’ Peninsula was in sight. The ship came to an anchor at a late hour in the evening of the same day in Lyttelton barhour. The health enjoyed by all on board throughout the passage was excellent, for not a single case of sickness was experienced with the single exception of a short attack of gout. Four births of female infants took place in the month of April, one of which died a short time after its birth. A marriage also was solemnized between two of the emigrants in the earlier part of the passage. This match, as far as we understand, was made up before leaving Plymouth. Although the passage was a protracted one of 106 days, the weather experienced throughout was of an exceptiouably line character, which added materially to the comfort and wellbeing of all on board.
