Miscellaneous Shipping

The Trevelyan is a handsome iron clipper ship which has made her passage out in 95 days, and this after being delayed for over a fortnight beating about in the chops of the channel against most adverse weather ; in fact she was at sea during the gale which proved so destructive to the ill-fated London. But after storm then calm, and the course to the southward in the North Atlantic was made through light variables, and instead of brisk N.E. trades the northern tropic was drifted over. She passed Madeira on January 6, shaped a track inshore of the Cape de Verdes, and was on the Line on January 23. The southerly trades merged into such strong easterly winds that the ship was compelled to keep well to the westward, and it was February 10 before sighting Gough's Island, and eight days after the meridian of the Cape was passed. Then a long succession of fine fair winds induced a hope of a speedy termination to the passage, and a rapid headway across the Southern Ocean was made in 46 ° S. ; but not an iceberg hove in sight to break the monotony of the every day spectacle. On reaching Cape Leuwin, however, the usual local winds were in vogue, and over a week has been spent in very slowly attempting to make Cape Borda. After seeing the light, two days more elapsed before receiving Pilot Wellsinan on board. She anchored at the Lightship on Wednesday ; but as soon as the floodtide made, proceeded in tow of the Young Australian to the Stream moorings.

ARRIVAL OF THE TREVELYAN WITH 424 GOVERNMENT EMIGRANTS.

The arrival of a shipload of emigrants is always an event of some importance, but it is very gratifying when a ship like the Trevelyan reaches our shores after a voyage marked with no serious disturbance amongst the people, or the existence of any sickness worth mentioning. She is a fine iron ship of over a thousand tons built, and launched under the personal supervision of Captain Gooch, consequently it is not surprising she obtained the charter to bring out passengers as below. Every attention is paid to ventilation and proper cleanliness. Having a height of 7 feet 6 inches, a constant current of air kept the various compartments as fresh as possible — not by Dr. Edmunds's system of the midship cowl trunkways and uptake, for in all this the Surgeon-Superintendent is no believer, and speaks rather disparagingly than otherwise of the apparatus, which may be all very well in low vessels, but not in commodious spacious craft. The distiller also has not given the satisfaction for which the invention of Dr. Normanby is almost proverbial ; for soon after leaving England the water produced was of such an inferior quality that the Surgeon's ingenuity was severely taxed to rectify and repair the machine, which has subsequently accomplished all that could be wished. It was not only in this particular instance his tact and good judgment were exhibited, but throughout the passage his unvarying course of conduct has been the cause of quelling any trifling disturbance, and promoting the well-being of the people on board. In this direction he has received much valuable assistance from Captain Gooch, though perhaps the fact of those two gentlemen sailing in the same vessel on a previous voyage had something to do with the cordial understanding between them. At Plymouth the ship embarked 424 souls, of whom there were several who had previously started fruitlessly in the Amoor, and had waited in depot some time for the following ship. The selection of trades men and mechanics is in excess of former vessels, and there are also on board a number of domestic servants, recommended as being well adapted for the requirements of the colony. There are 66 married couples, 121 single men, 77 single women, and 93 children. English— 270 adults, 77 children Scotch— 42 adults, 12 children Irish — 19 adults, 4 children And in all those but four deaths and four births have occurred, so the number arrived is the same as at embarkation. The surgeon has been most fortunate in conducting previous passages, for on four successive voyages he has lost no children, and but a very low percentage of adults. The names of the deceased are John and Mary Newton, George Hosking, and Manuel Rogers. The vessel had scarcely time to anchor and furl sails, than the Health Officer, with usual attendants, boarded to muster, and expressed his pleasure both at the ship and manifest good conduct of the people, who have thoroughly made it a period of pleasant instruction, for a glance at the scholastic statistics will at once reveal the improvement made in that department, especially amongst the females. But not only in this point has the Superintendent cared for his flock, for amongst them were some heroes of the 'sock and buskin,' whose appeal for stage accommodation was readily acceded to by the captain, and under his supervision the waist became the stage, the poop the boxes, the quarter-deck the pit, and the sails the scenery. As for a play-bill, that written and sent aft to the cuddy would vie with Barry Sullivan. But those who are inclined to patronize the stage should visit the ship tonight, when the farewell performances, by command of the captain's lady, are to take place. 'Faust' is the piece, and a farce to follow. At any rate the people have enjoyed themselves, and on landing here will, we trust, prove good colonists and an acquisition to South Australia.
