There were two births on board and two deaths, one of a child of five mouths old, who was in a dying condition at the time of embarkation, and the other an infant four days old. The passengers speak in high terms of Captain Greaves, Dr Percy Lee, and the officers generally, all of whom did all in their power to make the voyage a pleasant one.

After landing all the immigrants, tbe Howrah will proceed to Wellington for which port she has a large cargo.
