The Grasmere has 102 souls on board, equal to 68A adults, of whom 30 are single females assisted by the" Provincial Government. She is commanded by Captain Turner, who was for a number of years chief officer of the Great Britain Steamship, and is well known 'in the Australian passenger trade. She reports hav-ing-left'the Clyde on the Ist of May; made the passag;- from 7N.,t0 the Line in 15 days; crossed the Line in long. 26 W.; off the Cape experienced strong easterly wind for about six days, and after that time i the winds were chiefly from the N. N. E., blowing strong. She spoke the barque Evan Dhu, bound to Falmouth, in lat. 1.35 N., and long. 24.36. W. On June 25th, in lat, 2?.29 S., and 37/26 W., picked up a cask of porter marked J. F., No. 22, Meux, 58.15, j which appeared to have bpen adrift about two months. ! Some of the crew were off duty on the passage, but j among the passengers the surgeon reports no sick- j ness. There were two births, and both children ; survive. In the cabin there was one passenger, Mr. Cameron, a clergyman.; Notwithstanding the length j <jf the voyage, and the indifferent sailing qualities of the yess-1, the passengers express their perfect satisfaction with the treatment they have received, having be°n amply supplied with provisions and water, and j on the termination of the voyage, a testimonial to : Captain Turner was prepared and signed by all on hoard. It being too late in the day for the passengers to proceed to Dunedin, they were recommended by the Emigration .Agent to remain on board until the morning, when they will be token up by the !?aroson. The Killermont/from Melbourne, arrived in the j forenoon. Captain Stephens reports hnving left on the 19th, a day later than the City of Hobart, and he had on boajd a small mail up to that date. About j 000 miles from Port Philip he passed the. steamer Gotbrnbuig on the forenoon of the 24th. The wind at the iime was blowing stiffly ahead of the steamer, and he doubts veiy much if she would be able to make Melbourne in time to catch the English mail. Off Stewart's Island the Killermont had to lay to in a strona nor'wester, and she encountered also the gale of ■ the first of'the., present week, being driven off from Cape Saunders on Sunday, and having subsequently had, on one or two occasions, to heave to. She proceeds to town to discharge. The Wiii't" Wave, from Stewart's Island, passed up at noon. Had apparently a number of passengers on board. ; r v The steamers from.: *Vaikouaiti did not bring back so many 'passengers'to-day, and a few are still proceeding* t-> the digging, better fortified than the pioneers gainst'the privation* of the journey, and the difficult!, i of the diggings. The boat Young America was not ma. le a wreck, as stated by us yesterday, through collision with the \ Ellen but by sinking with a heavy load of ballast in her, ai i leaking up in the attempts made to recover her. ■,".-; .i i' *. Though what was supposed to be tne smoke of a steamerv.as, once or twice during the day, seen off the ocean beach, no vessel (except the Planet) has, up to a late hour, made her appearance at Port Chalmers.
