The damage was found to be slight, and the necessary repairs having been effected sbe steamed for Auckland at 8 o'clock last night. The End of the "Submarine Boat." —"Many will no doubt be interested to hear," says the Otago Daily Times, "what has become of the submarine boat which, in its day, was the topic of much discussion. It occupied the attention of that grave and reverend body—the Otago Institute—where for a while i:; >a bones were shelved as the leading question ; it excited the imaginations of sanguine capitalists, whose great expectations were doomed to disappointment: it was the subject of certain interesting experiments in Dunediu Bay, causing a sensation, and very nearly an inquest; but it never went to the Molyneux. It has been separated into parts, and lies near the Albany-street Rail* way Station, and observing immigrants mistake it for a patent marine boiler." The Hydaspes in Quarantine.—From the Auckland Star we gather particulars of the proceedings ou board this vessel. It appears that no attempt was made to detain the saloon passengers, who were quite as much exposed to risk of infection as the others ; and moreover that this practice is in accordance with established custom—a custom which it is quite time was abolished. The detention of the ship caused considerable loss and expense, and she was accordingly released ; but the unfortunate steerage passengers remained huddled together on the quarantine island—male and female, married and single, without privacy or decency. That dissatisfaction was felt and expressed is not to be wondered at; especially when these unlucky people were ordered to carry out the luggage of the fortunate saloon passengers for nothing but the honor of the thing. They very properly refused, and it was this refusal that has been construed into revolt an.l insubordination.

Testimonials.—Dr John Dale, SurgeonSuperintendent during the voyage of the ship Bebington, has handed us copies of testimonials presented to him by a number of the immigrants.—They are as follows :—" Married compartment.
