THE LADY JOCELYN. The large shio Lady Jocelyn. with Mr George Vesey Stewart's special settlers, did not make the harbour until five o'clock on Saturday evening. She was taken in tow by the Hinemo*;. and anchored off the Queen-street Wharf shortly before six o'clock. The representative of this iournal boarded tbe vessel when she got inside the reef, in order to supply our readers with as much information as possible regarding the voyage and the names of the settlers on board. Unfortunately, however, our littla feathered me seiigers proved unfaithful, and the onlr info-mation we were able to publish was the names of the first and second cabin passengers. The birds entrusted with the carriage of the names of tho intermediate and steerage passengers, report, &c, lingered rather long with their budsets of news, thus rendering them too late for insertion. They are, however, appended. When the vessel was coming up the Channel She presented a magnificent sight, almost every stitch of canvas being spread before the favouring breeze. The passengers testified their joy at the approaching termination of the voyage by vociferous cheering, while the ladies contended themselves by waving their handkerchiefs to those on board the various vessels which were passing. The report of the passage shows that the vessel letfc London on May 6th j^id. Beif»?t on May 20th. .-Got the first of the og on June 14th, und cfossed the Equator on June 20th in lat. 23° 40' west, Calms and light winds for several days, the Cape of Good Hope being rounded on July 11 in 41*51 South, with, strong breezes. Passed the meredian of Capo Leuwin on July 29, and thence to the ThW Kin*?, which were sighted on the afteruwn of the 14th, a continuation. Of light northeasterly winds. Jflne weather down the const. Two births and one death occurred aurxng the n<isXi"-e On Jane 7th, Mrs F. W. Stoddard gave birth to a daughter, and on July 14th, the family of Mr Edward George was increased by the addition of a fine boy, who was christened Edward Jocelyn. On July 22nd, Percy Lucas, son of the Itev. Canon Johnstone, died at the . ase of 13 months of whooping cough and conviilsio'is When the vessel left Belfast she had on board 151 souls, of whom 217 were males. 16' females, and 73 crew and officers, lhis number has therefore been increased by one. A weekly paper, called the 'Lady Jocelyn He-aid " was published on board by Mr MorganMorrisa, and served to enliven the monotony of the voyage. This gentleman had a very smig little printing office fitted up under tbe deck, and was supplied with all the necessary materials, &c, for printing the paper, which indeed was very creditable. The journal was very neatiy and tastefully compiled, and printed in a very workmanlike manner. From this we gather many interesting item 3of information. On June 5, two cases of small pox of a mild type were discovered, causing much alarm. Kvery precautionary measure was taken by the passengers to prevent the spread of the disease, and Dr. Ginders isolated himself with the patients until all danger was averted. This noble con-, duct was app-eciated by the passengers, who, through Mr George Vesey Stewart, subsequently presented him with a complimentary address. In his address Mr Stewart stated the intention of the passengers to make a more substantial presentation on reaching Auckland. Mr G V. Stewart established an enquiry office in the cabin, and he attended there an hour during each day to give advice and information to passengers. He also wrote a series of articles on " Our Prospects in our newHome;''and these were published in the "Lady Jocelyn Herald.' They were very interesting and afforded much, useful information as to the best means of improving the land, erecting houses, purchasing tools, provisions, &c, in Auckland. We make the following extract from another letter by Mr Stewart:— " Allow me to suggest through -the medium of your columns, to the Katakati settlers the advisability of making out a list of any articles they may require' previous to the bustle and confusion consequent upon our arrival. If we go to Katikati direct, instead of the route by Tauranga, they had better purchase their goods in Auckland. I would recommend fern hooks fern sytties, spades, and shovels, the colonial cooldnsi stoves, and any general ironmongery from Messrs T. and S. Morrin^Messrs Porter, or Messrs Dickey. The latter firm are North of Ireland men, and highly respectable. Flour and groceries can be purchased at the local ICatikati store, but it might be advisable to send down small supplies of.thesa goods, also bacon, cheese, etc.. which can be obtained from Messrs Couplaud and Co., Queen-street store, Mr Morrin, and several other firms. I would also advise all my friends to transacts their banking business through the National Bank of New Zealand (Limited), who also have an office at Tauranga, and they will find Mr* David Hean, the Auckland manager, most courteous, useful, and obliging." Mr Stewart also recommended the purchase of timber, &c. from the Union Sash and Door Company and Mr George Holdship, and bricks from Messrs Combes and Daldy. Various kinds of amusements were got up during the voyage, including concerts, dramatic performances, &c, while the library afforded pleasure to those whose chief delight lay in literary pursuits. Religious services were also conducted regularly. ; The vassengcrs, one andall, ioin in their praises of the kind treatment which they have received at the hands of Captain Jenkins, Dr Ginders, Mr Stewart, and oihers.and of course no complaint could 1»- made by anyone when the Health Office ,Dr Philson, boarded the vessel on Saturday acernoon. j The nam >* of the first and second cabin pas senders Wi-.-« published in Saturday evening's issue aud we now append the list of intermediate and ' steerage passengers :—lntermediateMarried Couples : Rev.
