ARRIVAL OF THE HESPERUS WITH IMMIGRANTS.

The selection of the Hesperus as a trans port vessel for emigrants was a wise one, and it is seldom a more suitable ship has arrived here. She has splendid height between decks, and an excellent outfit of berths and banks. The ventilation throughout has also proved as nearly perfect as possible. The after end of the vessel was devoted, to the single females, of whom there were said to be 143 adults, but amongst them were several girls accompanying their parents, and some women coming out to husbands here. This de

partment was under the matron, Miss Davidson, who, under the superintendence   of Dr. Freeland, succeeded in keeping excellent order amongst her charges. The midship compartment was occupied by 84 families, all provided with fair and reasonable space, one feature being a gangway around the bunks between the fittings and ship's side. Cleanliness was apparent throughout, the doctor having positively set his face against anything but dry scrubbing. There were 117 single men in the fore end, and most excellent quarters they had, although it is much to be regretted that the old school system of hammocks in this compartment could not be returned to as a mode of economising space and promoting cleanliness. Of the general conduct of the people the master and Dr. Freeland spoke In most eulogistic terms, and the very best feeling prevailed throughout the voyage between officers and immigrants. Before the conclusion of the passage a very complimentary testimonial was presented to the master, and when he   left the vessel at the bell buoy there was an outburst of genuine British cheering. Throughout the passage the people enjoyed   excellent health— only one adult and five children died; but none from contagious or in   fectious diseases. Accordingly the vessel on arrival was admitted to immediate pratique.
