Barque Cornelia, London to New Zealand. Wellington, April 16, 1851. Dear Sir, —Having arrived at our destination, we cannot take leave of you without first performing what we consider a pleasing piece of duty. We beg, therefore, to return our thanks for the extreme liberality and kindness with which we have been treated during the past rather tedious and stormy voyage. We also beg to remark that our confidence in the superiority of the ship, and in your skill as a sanor and navigator, is strongly illustrated by ‘•ne ract, that two of our number having made the passage home with you, determined to return to the Colony by no other vessel but the Wishing that your future career, either at sea or on shore, may be happy and prosperous, We are, dear Sir, Yours respectfully, (Signed) J. H. Marriott, Wm. Read, W. Allen, D. G. Parker. To Cnpt. G. B. Mickleburgh.
