The spell which appeared to have settled on the shipping trade, parHca’arly with respect to the arrives of ahi pfl from London, was bro Ken on Saturday night by the arrival of the New Zealand S sipping Company’s ship Eakaia, that ship ceding in ahead of etveral that left the old country long before her. As she had had the misfortnns to be quarantined at Plymouth, small pox having made its appaaranp?. imparativa instructions had been given by the Governmant that upon her arrival in Port, no person excepting the Health Officer and tbe Immigration Officer were to be permitted to communicate with her until the nominated immigrants and passengera, some hundred and eighty-eight of whom were on board, had passed the trying ordeal of a trial for having small pox in his or her possession, and had been found innocent of the charge by the medical judge. These instructions were duly observed, and the ship was cleared by about noon yesterday. Nobody on board was found sick from small pox nor any Other complaint, nor had anybody been attacked with small pox during the voyage. A case of heart disease and dropsy terminated fatally on July 29th, and the day after the remains, those of a young man, named Walter Bell, aged ninet on years, were committed to the deep. There were two births. Whan the ship first left Plymouth she had as ship surgeon a gentleman named Crawford After the vessel had put to sea. and one of the OfSfytSrd. *"himaelf a consumptive person, advised the master to return to Plymouth, and --there Dr. Crawford left, his place being taken by Dr. Husband, an old acquaintance as surgeon superintendent of emigrant ships. At Plymouth a decidedly intense application of soap and sulphur was served out to both crew ana passengers, every one of whom was not only lathered with carbolic soap and scrubbed, bnt was afterwards enveloped in a sack up to the chin and sulphur dried. This process over they were taken from the ship to a steamer, and by the latter taken down the Sound to get the sea air. The three sick men were removed to a hulk used for a hospital, and after the Eakaia had pnt in a month at Plymouth, and undergone the regulation fumigation and whitewashing, she was permitted to resnme her voyage on the 2Sth of May. From Plymouth to the Cape of Good Hope the winds were so light and the weather so fine that the small sails of the ship were kept steadily sot. The equator was crossed on the 29th of June in 23 W., and

the Capo of Good Hope waa passed just a month later. Good westerly winds prevailed for the first week in August, but grew poor as the easting was made. The Lenwin meridian was made on August 12th, and that of Tasmania a week after, and the Snares sighted on Monday last. On board the Eakoia the assisted immigrants numbered 151, made up as follows : —Families and children 45, single women 75, and single men 31. Their trades and occupations are given as follows s—Females : General servants 29, housemaids 2, cloth finishers 1, nurses 3, tory hands 2. Males: Iron moulders 2, clay worker 1, factory hand 1, joiners 2, laborers 2, painters 1, policemen 1, farm laborers 14, iron workers 2, gardeners 1, smiths 3, bootmakers 2, farmers 1, grooms 1, shepherds 1, butchers 1, miners 2, working jewellers 1. And their nationality 63 Irish, 54 English, 29 Scotch, 2 Germans and 3 Welsh. Besides these there was a number of settlers for Grant and Foster’s settlement up North, and a few steerage passengers who have come out without any previous arrangement. The ’tween decks of the ship were devoted to the use of the passengers, who undoubtedly may claim to have been liberally served by the company with accommodation. The berths and cabins on the arrival of tho ship wore beautifully clean, and an appearance of regularity and order throughout the whole of the immigrants’ quarters was prominently noticeable The sur-geon-superintendent, the master of the ship. Captain Bone, and his officers, Messrs Scruby, Hammon, and Clarke, deserve a word of praise in that connection.
