It is our painful duty to have to chronicle the arrival of the above ship with so much sickness on board, and we regret to add that death has been very busy amongst the immigrants during the voyage from London. No less than twenty "deaths occurred, eighteen being children and one an adult, who fell victims to those dread maladies—scarlatina, scarlet, typhoid, and enteric fevers. A very melancholy death took place on the'3oth* of May, one of the married men named Alfred Button committing suicide by jumping overboard. The reasons assigned for this rash act are that Button was suffering from a depression of spirits in consequence of his wife and family being stricken down with sickness. Dr Hamilton- and his son his subordinate were also attacked by fever, but we are happy to say they are now quite convalescent. At present there are fifty cises under treatmeut for typhoid fever and scarlatina, but we tru-it .that the change of air and diet will work wonders amongst the patients. The task of landing the immigrants at Somes Island was satisfactorily effected on Saturday, under the able supervision of the immigration authorities, and Captain Black and Dr. Hamilton of the Collingwood. ; The Collingwood is a splendid iron, clipper ship, and has proved herself to be a very fast sailer, making the run in 84 days. We have been unable to obtain a full report of the passage, but we learn that she finally took leave of the pilot in the English Channel on the 16th of April, and experienced moderate fine weather throughout the passage. In all probability the" Collingwood will come up to the wharf about the end of this week. Before so doing she will be properly mmigt»sa ana uic»u3ca, ov-wwt nu disease speading will be removed.

TESTIMONIAL TO OAFTAIN BLACK. We have much pleasure in publisliing the annexed copy of a testimonial presented to Captain Black, of the ship Collingwood, by the emigrants now in quarantine on Somes Island. At a public meeting of the emigrants of the ship Collingwood (at present located on Somes Island), it was unanimously agreed to address to Captain P. Black, of the ship Collingwood, a. testimonial-convey-ing to hiiu the thanks and gratitude of the emigrants for the kindness and attention displayed on his part throughout the journey. The passengers also desire to thank Captain Black for the repeated acts of kindness on his part to any case of sickness brought under his notice, feeling at the sanie time how poor a recompense, this testimony Is for the sympathy and kindness displayed. The passengers would desire further to state that they are perfectly satisfied with the manner in which the affairs of the voyage were conducted; and to express their thanks to the officers under Captain Black for their zeal and attention to duty under very trying circumstances, feeling satisfied also that the journey would have been much shortened only for light and unfavorable winds.

The man-o'-war Dido arrived .in port on Saturday, July 17th, after a very boisterous and protracted passage of fourteen days from Auckland, via the East Cape. It will be seen by the report of her passage that she experienced a succession of gales from nearly every point of the compass, which were so severe that the ship was hove-to the greater part of the voyage. We are indebted to the courtesy of Navigating-lieut. Jones for the following account of her passage:— H.M.S. Dido, Captain Chapman, left Auckland "on the 3rd, arrived off Tauranga on the 4th, but was obliged to put to sea in consequence of a strong northerly gale; rounded the East Cape on the sth ; passed the barque Queen of the South same day. On the 7th fell in with a very heavy gale from the S.W.; shortened sail to storm trysails and forestaysail. The gale continued during the Bth, but abated on the 9th, and the 10th was fine. On the 11th the wind, which had been fresh from W.S.W., suddenly shifted to S.S.AY., and blew hard, increasing on the following evening to a perfect storm, with hail, rain, and vivid lightning, the barometer falling to 28'90 mches. Tho ship was under storm trysails and , storm staysails. During the night the forestaysail was blown to ribbons, and soon afterwards the trysails also. Cape Palliser then was 230 miles distant to the southward and westward. Furious squalls continued all night and the following morning. Shipped some very heavy seas both to windward and leeward. One tremendous sea broke on board, washing away the waist and forecastle hammock nettings, starting i: e s'wet anchor block, and smashing in the engine skylight. Some went down the funnel, running into the eng;';e-room, and put out the lights, some fire being dri. en out of the furnace, but without doing any harm. The ship heeled over 25deg. The gale at lenjth moderated to a strong breeze, still from S.S.W., until the 14tb, when it shifted to AA'.S.AV., and ;':en, in a sudden and violent squall, to S.S.E. 'l'his was followed by another furious gale from the S.S. W., force 10 to 11, with terrific seas, one of which stove in the third cutter. Cape Ealliser then was 94 miles distant to the S.S.AW Hove the ship to under steam and storm trysails. On Friday the ship was off Cape Palliser and steamed to Pencarrow Head, where she encountered a heavy N.AV. gale, with thick weather, and again had to be hove-to until Saturday morning, when steam was got up and the anchorage reached as above. The Dido visited this port some three years ago, since then there havebeenafew changes amongstherofficers. The following is a correct'list:—Captain—AVilliam C. Chapman ; lieutenants—Albert M. Ducat, Vesey Knox, and J. Hartington Martin; navigating-lieu-tenant—John A. Jones ; staff-surgeon (2nd class}— Godfrey Goodman; paymaster—James N. Robinson ; chief engineer—John AY.

ARRIVAL OF THE GERMAN SHIP LAMMERSHAGEN. This flue iron Clyde-built ship arrived on July 11th, from Hamburg via Cuxhaven, after a very fairweather passage of ninety-six days from Cuxhaven. We are pleased to state that she has arrived with a clean bill of health, little or no sickness having occurred on the voyage. One death, that of an adult, and five births took place on the passage. Owing to the vessel not having been admitted to pratique we were unable to board her. We learn that she left Hamburg on the Ist April; called at Cuxhaven and left on the 6th; was eight days before clearing the English Channel. Fell in with theN.E. trades on the 25th, in long. 29deg. N. lat. 20deg. 30min. W. Crossed the Equator on the Bth May, in long. 24deg. 25min. W.; ran through the S.E. trades in long. 27deg. 53min. S., lat. 30deg. W. Met with variable winds, chiefly from the southward. Passed the meridian, of the Cape on the sth June, in lat. 42deg. S., and ran down the easting in lat. 42deg. S. to 49deg. S. Passed the meridian of Hobarton on the 2nd July, in lat. 4Sdeg. S. Entered Cook Strait at noon on the 9th ; struck soundings same day at 8 p.m.; took pilot, and dropped anchor in the harbor about 12.30 p.m. yesterday. Captain Paul reports speaking the ship Amander on the 22nd May. ARRIVAL OF THE WILT.IAM PUTTING FROM LONDON. The wooden barque William Fruing arrived from London on July 11, with a large cargo and seven cabin She_lef t Gravesend on the 21st of March, and cleared the English Channel on the 26th. Experienced moderate winds and fine weather to the Equator, which was crossed on the 21st April, in long. 20deg. AV. Met with light S.E. trade winds; ran the easting down in lat. 45deg. S. The remainder of the passage was characterised by moderate N.W. and N.E. weather. The William Fruing is consigned to Messrs. Levin and Co. She has brought two valuable bulls, imported by Messrs. Bethune and Hunter. ARRIVAL OF THE S.S. KIWI. Messrs. Levin and Co.'s new steamer Kiwi was built at Hull by Messrs. Humphrey and Pearson, and is intended for the coasting trade. Her dimensions are as follows:—Length, 115 ft.; breadth, 10ft.; depth of hold, Sft. Her engine-room is 21Jft. in length. She possesses two engines of 30-horse power, with a stroke of 15in. Her tonnage is, gross, 195; net, 133. Before being ready for trading, her funnel and propeller have to be fixed, and other slight alterations to be made. Captain Chatfield, who is in command, was here some twenty-five years ago as second officer on board H.M. schooner Bramble. He describes the Kiwi as being a good sea boat, and states that the length of her voyage is owing to the insufficiency of her spread of canvas. The following is a brief report of her passage. She left Humber on the 9th February; met with light baffling winds till the 15th, when she passed the Downs. Discharged the pilot on the ISth, at 2 o'clock a.m.; passed the Lizard at 9 am., and experienced fine fair winds till reaching the 4th deg. South latitude. On March 9, signalled the Italian barque Figogna from Cardiff to Monte Video, sixteen days out. At noon on March 12 sighted St. Antonio, one of the de Verde Islands.
