4RRIVAL OF THE HURUNUI FROM LONDON. The welcome news that the Immigrant ship Hurnnui was outside the Heads yesterday morning was announced, and with a very light air and the aid of the incoming tide she came Into port, Pilot ; Holmes bringing her up close to the wharf-a fact which,, together with the absence of the dreaded yellow flag,j showed that there was, no : sickness on her. ije Health Officers were on board shortly after she had anchored, and passed her, everything being found in perfectly clean and good order, and the health ef theAmmigrants' excellent. The Hurunuiis one of the New Zealand Company’s , ships, and the chapter of accidents which happened to detain her in the channel for months is well-known to our readers; and now she has arrived here all safe, without anything Turther happening her since she left Plymouth on the 20th November. The number of immigrants which she brings,to this port is estimated at about 180 ‘and they appear to be about the average class of people, who express themselves pleased with the treatment and diet which they received on the voyage out. There were fom births and no death amongst the immigrants but the third mate Mr Feg’ao, was washed overboard and drowned. It appears that on the 25th January, when the vessel waslin latitude 47deg. '4Bseo. S„ . ongitude 84deg. 48sec E with a strong southerly wind blowing, and udder small sail, at half-past 1 o’clock, a heavy sea struck her forward and broke over the main deck. Mr Fegan, who was about to relieve the chief officer, was seen at the time, stooping down on, the weather side as the water came' on. bbard, but when the wave had passed over her he was not seen again, and was only missed when called to relieve the-chief officer. The ship at the time was running 9 knots in a heavy cross sea. ■ Captain Adams ssys that there is no doubt that he was struck by the sea and washed over the lee gunwale as the ship heeled .over. The accident cast quite a gloom over the ship for several days, as Mr. Fegan was-liked by every one on board for - his affable .andx unassuming demeanor. The Hnrunul comes to port'nnder the command of Captain Adams, formerly of the Soukar, and who stands high in the esteem of the people whom he has had under his following is a report of the passage derived from the ship’s log, which has been handed to us, and which gives an* outline of the passage from the commencement;—The Hurnnui originajly left Gravesend on September 23, under command of Captain Boyd, with'emigrants equal in' number to 220 adults, and nine cabin passengers. Encountered a heavy gale off the Isle of Wight next day, and after sustaining damages, and cases of scarlet fever breaking out, put into Portland Roads on the 20th. Landed fever and.diph-, theria patients at Weymouth; and repairs being completed, left for Plymouth in tow of a tug on sth October arrivlngin theSoundnextday, Was placed In quarantine until Board of Trade official examination had taken place, when the emigrants were removed to a frigate hulk, and the ship fumigated. Various fever cases were landed after this from time to time, and some of the crew onboard the ship affected with fever, and one diphtheria case, were also sent ashore. ' Frequent’ examinations were now held by medical officers and the ship detained for fourteen days from the landing of the last infectious patient. Final examination held, on 10th November, remaining .emigrants transhipped from the hulk, and ship cleared for sea with some sixty souls less than: the original, number. Got under way-and-procceded out of the Sound in tow. of a tug in .the afternoon, the pilot leaving at 5 o’clock, and ’ the, ship making a good -start,' with a fine ' easterly * breeze until 8.30 o’clock, when some few, miles past the Eddystone Lighthouse she came Into collision with a vessel ahead, and as one forward collision compartment was fdund full of water, the coarse was Immediately altered for Plymouth. After dodging about all night In a gale pf i wind outside the breakwater waiting for a pilot Captain Boyd took the, ship into the Sound, and anchored at 10 O’clock the next morning. Found upon survey one plate in the starboard bow stove in, and water running oat of a large rent,,the adjoining plate started, and jihgt llbboom carried away. The ship was towed Into dock on the 12th, and taken out into the. Sound again on the 16tb. After completing repairs, engaging new men to supply the place of runaways and those Of the etew detained with Cap-

tain Boyd by the Board of Trade for the collision enquiry, and landing more emigrants, who refused to proceed in her, the ship got under way for the third time on the 20th November, in charge of Captain Adams, who reports as follows Dispensed with the pilot’s services, at noon, and started with a tolerably favorable breeze and fine weather.
