The Albion Company’s ship Marlborough, under charter to the Government, arrived at ten o’clock this morning from London, with 336 immigrants, or eqnal to 303$ adnlts. She has made a remarkably fast passage of bnt 78 days, having left Plymouth on September 26th. The port i fficials visited the ship shortly after 11 o’clock, returning at 12,30 •with the unfortunate news that the ship had been ordered to quarantine. The malady is a slight fever, and the health officer expressed a hope that the detention of the ship will be very temporary. There are at present six cases on board under treatment. The deaths have been four in number—all infants, and from various diseases, mostly diarrhoea. The names of the deceased are—Margaret Eddy, infant; Margaret McDonald, one year ; Eliza Binney, one year ; and D. Milne, one year. It is intended to land the whole of the immigrants at the quarantine grounds to-day—the single men on Quail Island, and the married people and single females on Eipa Island. ARRIVAL OP THE N.Z.S. CO.’S SHIP HUitUNUI, PROM LONDON.

This ship was signalled last evening, and anchored off the Breakwater at 7 p.m. Captain Barclay, late of the Northampton, is in command. He reports a pleasant passage of ninety-five days from the docks to arrival, and eighty-five from land to land. No incident of any special interest occurred, and no vessels were spoken. The line was crossed thirtyseven days out; the S.E. trades were good, but whilst running down the easting had unusually bad winds and rainy weather. She brings forty-three passengers and a full cargo. She is in splendid order, and everyone aboard seems delighted with the kind treatment received. The provisions were good and plentiful, and the second and third class passengers, who were lodged down the after hatch in most comfortable quarters, were loud in their praises of the ship and her captain and officers. Testimonials were presented to Captain Barclay. A full report of the trip will appear in Monday’s issue, __ SHIP MALLOWDALE, FEOM LONDON. Between two and three p.m. yesterday, the large iron built clipper ship Mallowdale came to an anchor in the harbor, after a very fair passage of ninety-four days. After the Port Officers had made their official visit, the reporters were received on board very cordially by Captain Dcman, who visits Canterbury for the first time. The ship is one of Shaw, Saville and Co.’s line, and is of course consigned to Messrs Edwards, Bennett and Co. She brings in all thirty-seven p issengers—five in the saloon, three intermediate, and twenty-nine steerage. Her cargo consists of general merchandise, with a deck freight of live stock in the shape of nine superior draught horses. The vessel comes into port in creditable condition, and both the captain and his officers seem to have gained the esteem of all the passengers. The Mallowdale is a fine carrying ship of 1290 tons, built at Lancaster in 1870 for the East Indian trade. She has made some excellent passages, her last being from Loudon to Otago in eighty-four days. F. O. Hunter and Co., of Greenock, are her owners. Her cabin accommodation is commodious, and the intermediate passengers found comfortable quarters in the forward section of the saloon. A portion of the steerage berths are between decks near the after hatch, some seventeen passengers being quartered there. In addition to these, two of the deck houses forward were occupied by five of the single male steerage passengers, all of whom appeared to have made themselves very comfortable. The voyage out is reported to have been extremely fine. The following is the captain’s report Left the docks on the 4th of September, and Start Point on September 10th; had fine southerly •weather across the Bay, and caught N.E. trades in 21 N. They were very light and variable, and were lost in BN. Caught S.E. trades on October 10th in 1 N. 20‘36 W„ and crossed the Equator same day in 20.36 W. The S.E. trades were good, and were lost in 20 S. Then had light winds to the Cape, the ship making little progress, and the meridian of that point being passed on Nov. 3rd; ran down her easting between 4-1 and 47 S., the westerlies being light, and towards the end variable. On Monday last were off the Snares ; but the weather was thick with a fresh S.W. breeze, and the first land sighted was the Peninsula on Thursday evening ; when a sou’-wester sprang up, and the vessel lay to during the night, making the Heads yesterday morning. At 2 p.m. the pilot came aboard, and the vessel ran up before a fresh N E. breeze, and anchored off Diamond Harbor at 3 p.m. The Waipa was the only shiplspoken during the passage. The voyage throughout was aline weather one, and nothing of any interest occurred. SHIPPING TELEGRAMS. Port Chalmers, December 13, Sailed— Hawea, for Lyttelton.
