The Earl Dalhousie.— A rocket to the westward, about 3 o'clock on Tuesday morning, February 23, attracted the attention of the night watch at the Semaphore Station, and being answered, a muster was made to board her. As the vessel approached she was made out to be a large ship, and was at once set down as the Aurora, whose arrival from London is hourly expected, or the ship British Ambassador, from Melbourne. A start was made with all possible expedition, but as the craft was neared in the moonlight, she was seen to be barque rigged. This somewhat puzzled the boarders until nearly alongside, when she was recognised as the Earl Dalhousie, with emigrants, from London, which on a former visit was a full rigged Ship. The master, who is a stranger, reported a clean bill of health, and the officers at once went on board, when, although the hour was early, they found the majority of the emigrants on deck, who cheered lustily as the anchor was let go. The first enquiry was for the Aurora, and the fact that she bad not arrived was another source of hearty cheering. Captain Jarvis stated that the Aurora entered Plymouth Sound as the Dalhousie took her departure, and was expected to sail two days after. During the first five days after sailing, very severe weather, with strong S. W. gales, was experienced, but was followed by N.E. winds, which were carried to the trader. The equator was crossed, on. the 23rd day in long. 29° 30', and when in 30° S. the S.E. trades were lost. From thence to 40° S. a succession of light variable winds and calms was experienced for 14 days. The easting was run in long. 47° and 48°, westerly winds prevailing until Cape Borda was made on Monday, and the anchor was let go at about 4a.m. on Tuesday morning. Dr. Duncan boarded in the course of tbe morning, and having mustered the passengers, expressed him self highly satisfied with their appearance and that of the vessel. During the passage the utmost good feeling has prevailed, and this is due mainly to the attention bestowed by the captain and officers, Dr. J. Hudson, R N., and the matron, Mrs. Thompson, a lady well qualified for the task entrusted to her. There were three births and two deaths — the latter including one of the children born on the passage, and another infant. On the evening tide the services of the steam-tug Eleanor were called into requisition, and the ship was towed to the Port.
