Mr. M'Quade, the purser, has had under his charge during the vojage several pairs of English songsters; amongst them will be found blackbirds, thrushes, larks, goldfinches, starlings, &c. Many of them are in excellent song, and they have, with one or two exceptions, survived the perils'of the passage and arrived in good health. It is probable they will omo into possession of tho Acclimatization Society. It does not appear to be a mere empty compliment to say that Captain liose and his officers still maintain the high character so well deserved and expressed after previous voyages. The passengers by the Mermaid presented the following testimonial to Captain. Rose a few hours before tho vessel came to anchor:—" We, the undersigned passengers by the Merinaid from London to Lyttelton, wish to bear testimony of our appreciation of Captain Hose's kindness and attention to the comfort of all classes of passengers during the voyage.

Mrs. Barratt was one of the Government -"mini"rants, and supposed to bo coining out to join her husband in Canterbury. She had two children, but owing to come illness she was obliged to leave them behind. This is supposed to have preyed upon her mind. With the exception of the death of one child from whooping cough the whole of the'passengers (over 400) have arrived in excellent health. Dr. Cocksedge, late of the ships Chrysolite and Mermaid, had medical superintendence of the Government immigrants.

TheMana Light—This light was lit for the first time on Wednesday evening week, when the steamer Eangatira ml let nt that " Island of contest," and deposited cr. ta : n barrel-! of oil, and Captain Sharp to assist, at the wremonv of Illumination. Captain Mundle celebrated the occasion bv fi ing rockets, while Captain Reynolds, in the Storm Bird, who was p issing at the time, did the like, with the addition of burning several blue lights. The. l : ght is very bright, and can be seen at a distance of 25 miles. We doubt not this will be a great boon to slrpmastere, and will prevent many accidents. One thing is still wanted, a boat, No doubt this will soon be supplied; in the meantime the Messrs. Frasers kindly lend their bo:it when required. A code of signals would also be acceptable.—Wellington Independent, Feb. 8.
