The North Gorman immigrant ship Eugenie, Captain L. Voss, which left Humburg on tho 20th October last for this port, and whose arrival here has been long looked for, entered the river yesterday rnorning, and came to anchor in the stream at three o'clock in tho afternoon, after a passage of 156 days. Captain Voss reports that on leaving Hamburg he had on board 362 passengers, of whom 158 were for

German colonies in the Brazils. The Eugenie passed Cuxhaven and Heligoland on the night of the 20th, Dover on the 28th October, and Start Point on the night of tho 30th. Tho equator was crossed on the 20th November, when 86 days out, in longitude 25

deg.', 30 min. W. The Eugenie arrived at Santo Francisco, province of Santa Catharina, Brazil, on December 10th, then 56 days out, and landed 116 passengers for the German colony of Doria Francisca. She sailed again on the 31st December, and on the 3rd January last arrived at Itajahy, also in the province of Santa Catherina, whero 42 passengers were landed, reducing tho numbers from 362 to 204. The passengers landed at Itajahy intended settling in the German colony of Blumenau. The Eugenie weighed anchor again on January 9th, and made the Maidstone at 1 p.m. on Friday, tho 22nd instant. The eastings were made principally between the 45th deg. and 46th deg. of south latitude. Pilot Bleach boarded the Eugenie at 8 a.m. yesterday morning in Storm Bay, and brought her up to port. The Eugenie is an iron vessel built at Godeffroy's Yard, Hamburg, in 1864, and is owned by Mr. Robert M. Sloman of Hamburg. Mr. Buck has returned to Tasmania with the Eugenie, which brings 4 second cabin passengers and 198 immigrants in the steerage, of whom 71 were male adults, 48 female adults, 58 children under the age of 12 years, and 21children under

3 years,of whom 11 were infants. There were 5 births on tho passage and 11 deaths, including a newly born in-fant and its mother, the other nine were children under the age of six years. Mr. Janson, the surgeon, was young man who had recently completed his medical studies. There have boen several cases of scurvy on board, and one or two of tho immigrants suffering from this disease are to be removed to the hospital, by order of Dr. Benson, the health officer, who made an inspection of the immigrants on the arrival of the vessel. Some of the immigrants complain that the supply of provisions waa unsatis-factory, but as the official inspection of the ship, stores, and passengers, will be made to-day, any complaints which the latter may have to make will most probably be carefully investigated. As will be seen there is a large proportion of infants and children, the total number under the age of 12 years being stated at 79, against which there are 71 male, and 48 female adults, all over the age of 12 years being reckoned adults. The immi-grants we are informed are partly land order and partly bounty immigiants, and with a few exceptions belong to the farmer and agricultural labourer classes. As is customary in their countries they have nearly all learned some trade, and the adult males have all served their full period of military Service. The immigrants comprised tho following nationalities, Germans, Danes, Norwegians, Swedes, and natives of Alsace. Mr. Buck informs us that the adults can all read and write, and that several of them have had special agricultural and horticultural training. There are also amongst them several qualified to serve as domestic servants and nurse girls.

Tho vosscls :got on tho sands within a slioi t distance of each other -before daybroak, whilo tho wind was blowing strongly from tho south-west. On tho signals ut distress "being observed, tho Rumsgatu harbour steaming Aid 'lind lifeboat Bradford, und the North Deal, Kings Uown, mid Broiiilbtnirs lifeboats, belonging to the ?National Lifobout Institution, promptly procecdod to the sands, and tfl'uits woro mudo to got tho vessels ,off, but without success, on account ol'the vory heavy ,surf running all duy on tho Goodwin. On tho tide Hewing tho India bioko her back and sank, her crew of 16 mon being, howavor, saved by tho Humsgate lifeboat, which transferred six of thom to tho Kings down lifeboat. The other vossel is nlso likely to be-

come a total wreck. Her crow of 10 mon wore saved by tho North Deal lifeboat, togother with fivo Broad stairs mon, who carno out to tho wreck und unfor-tunately lost their boat alongside. Whilo the steamer »Aid waa toning out the Bradford lifeboat in tho morn-ing the paddle shaft of tho starboard wheel broke, ' and the ateamor had te rotura to tho harbour working
