The following testimonials were presented to the Captain and the Surgeon Superintendent. To Captain Wilmam CuiriKSHAXKg, of the ship David G. Fleming. Sib—We, the passengers of every class, on board the David G. Fleming, at the successful termination of our voyage to New Zealand, cannot leave this vessel without expressing our regret that our connection must come to a close, persons cannot separate from those whom they have been led to respect and esteem, even though that acquaintance may have been but of a short duration, without a feeling of saduess, and though T>nr acquaintance comes short of four months, we cannot bid farewell to you without sincere regret. Your uniform kindness to the 6ick, evinced not merely in your kind enquiries regarding their health, but in affording them such comforts as you considered calculated to restore their strength ; your urbanity, strict sobriety, gentlemanly qualities, and continual desire to promote the welfare and happiness of all under your care, gained the esteem of the passengers on board the David G. FJeming. Nor would we for one moment appear to overlook the great merits of your officers, who so ably seconded all your efforts to promote our comfort, and who individually by their upright demeanour obtained our entire respect and regard. We are soon to leave this ship wliich lias so long been our home, but go where we will we trust we shall retain the names of the Captain and officers of the D. G. Fleming in grateful remembrance for all the care and attention which we have received at their hands, and with our earnest prayers that God may bless you with hie best blessings and prosperity, and keep you and your officers and crew not merely on your voyage home but in your perilous calling, We subscribe ourselves your sincere friends and well wishers. Signed by 201 passengers. Lyttelton, December 8, 1863. To Geohge Hexiiy Acuesox, Esq. Sfe.—We the undersigned passengers on board the ship David G. Fleming, beg to return you our sincere thanks for the great care and attention you have bestowed upon us during the voyage, and our feelings have prompted us to resort to Uiese means of testifying our gratitude and thanks for the same. We are all of course aware that our thanks are due to Almighty God for having blessed us with such a prosperous voyage, but at the same time our eyes could not be closed to the fact that great caution and care were indispensable to ensure health considering the great number that were congregated in the ship, and more particularly during the time we were on our passage through the tropics, and we feel sure that had it not been for your timely discretion much sickness would have undoubtedly prevailed. Then, Sir, accept our sincere thanks, and be assured of our lasting friendship and esteem. Signed by 140 passengers.
