She was signalled shortly after 1 a.m. yesterday from the northward. Nothing certain is known as to what port she hails from. We notice by the “New Zealand Times” of May 15th that the Augusta was in Wellington on that date, and most probably she comes from that port.

THE CICERO. In our notice of the arrival of the Cicero yesterday we omitted to mention that Divine service was held for the first few Sundays on the poop, and afterwards on the main deck, while the hot weather lasted; afterwards it was held below, in the morning in the single girls’ compartment, in Ihe evening in the single men’s. A Sunday school was also held at 2 p.m, The Rev Mr Carlyon and Mr Coates each taking a class, and also two of the single girls, and the doctor also assisted occasionally, as did one of the saloon passengers. At Plymouth a young fellow named Hatch, who had taken a passage on board the Wennington as an immigrant, came to the doctor and asked him if he could go by the Cicero Instead On being questioned he admitted with perfect candour that he was in love with Stephena Lowary, one of the immigrant girls, their ages being twenty aud nineteen respectively. The courtship was countenanced, and the doctor's hospital on deck set apart for its being carried on. One beautiful morning, shortly before crossing the line, they were married on the main deck, all facing the stern, the bride being attired in a white dress, with green and white ribbons. The honeymoon was spent on the poop, that afternoon, best man and bridesmaids also came up, everyone being got up extensively, and being allowed on this exceptional occasion to taste the sweets of each other’s society, The wedding breakfast was held in the single girls’ compartment, and the saloon passengers went down and tasted the cake and wine, had themselves cheered, and their healths drunk. On May 2nd, while In the Indian Ocean, three infant s belonging respectively to Mrs Raymond, the captain’s wife, Mrs Whitnell, and Mrs Parry, were christened in the saloon. A beautiful silver font, which had been presented to Mr Carlyon before sailing, was used, and the rev gentleman appeared deeply affected during the ceremony. A lecture on New Zealand was delivered by Mr Chapman, a saloon passenger, on the passage out, aud three concerts, which were very successful, were also held. One man named Jno. Burchell, who was a sort of general favorite, appears to have done much good in an unpretentious manner during the passage. A cow was on board, consigned to Wilson, Sawteil, and Co, and its milk was most acceptable to the children. It is evidently a wellbred one, but we could hear nothing as to its pedigree. The following testimonial was presented to the Surgeon Superintendent, Mr W. J. Davison : —“Dear Sir—We, the undersigned, desire to express our gratitude to you for the uniform kindness and sympathy which we have received at your hands during the voyage. We believe that everything tha) could be done to ensure our health and general comfort has been done by you, and we take our leave of you with many thanks for your kind attention to us and to our children, and with a sincere wish God may bless you and give you every happiness.” This was signed by all in the married people’s compartment, and a similar one was presented by the single men. The purser, Mr Olliver, was such a general favorite that a testimonial was presented to him. bearing no less than 147 signatures, tnose of nearly all the adults in the ship. It ran as follows “ We, the undersigned passengers and immigrants by the ship Cicero, do hereby certify our entire satisfaction at the way in which Mr Broughton F. Olliver has discharged the duties of purser onboard the said ship,” The single girls were landed yesterday in the Mullough, s.s, and were sent into Christchurch; the rest of the immigrants will probably be landed today. The ship could have comfortably brought a great many more immigrants than arrived in her.
