ARRIVAL OF THE TRIUMPH.

She Brings 17S Passengers.-AU WeU,

Tho Passage Ooeupied 04 Days From London.

The long-expected steamshipTriujnph.Tvjt,], ■,'■:. atotalof 475 passengersfrom London, arrived in harbourat6.3oa.m. to-day. Anchorwai 1 dropped in the stream, where Dr. Philson Health Officer, Mr Oliver Maya, Immigra'. tion Officer, and Mr E. Brophy, late Immi. gration Officer, visited the vessel. TheVll passengers were called on deck, and passed 1 m inspection by tlie Health Officer satis-■■Si factorily. At 10 o'clock the steamer came alongside of the wharf and was made fast ■' By this time a large crowd of persons had "; congregated on the wharf to see the new I arrivals land, and the general impression ' prevailing appeared to be that, taken as a whole, the immigrants were of a much superior class to those who previously arrived here by the Wertmeath and Doric. The single girls, 100 in f number, were conveyed in three of Crow- v 5 ther's brakes to the Howe-street Home H where they will be quartered until, they : find employment. The married people and ' ■ single men who were not otherwise pro- ' vided for by friends were received at the i-; Immigration Depot, otherwise known as '*'• tho Old Hospital.

Description of tho Vossel. This is the maiden trip of the Triumph to these colonies. She was built in 1880 by Messrs Clayton, Dixon and Co., of Middles. boro'-on-Tees. Her dimensions are as follows : Length 350 ft; beam, 35ft 2in •" depth of hold, 27ft. Her registered tonnage is 1,797 tons, but she is capable of carrying 2,997 tons. She has a commodious engine-room. Her engines, which were manufactured at the workshops of Blair of Stockton-on-Tees, are on the compound direct acting vertical inverted principle with two cylinders of 80in. and 4in, ( their Btroke being 50 in. The nominal horse- " power is 400, and the actual 2,000. The I saloon, which is situated amidships, is small, containing but few berths. It V • neatly fitted up. Tho Triumph is a large cargo-carrying vessel converted to her present use. She is a etraight-stemmed schooner rigged, with double topsail1 yards' and is fitted with both steam andhand-steer' ' I iriggear. EverythinginthewHyofmachinery ' to facilitate the loading and unloading of cargo is to be found on board. The Triumph possesses a large refrigerator—one ' of the best now in use. It was constructed by the well-known firm of Haselden and Co. (Limited), Union Iron Foundry, of Derby, and is replete with all the latest improvements. Ice chambers for the reception of tho meat are also provided, they being capable of holding a very large number of carcases. It may be mentioned that she is divided into six watertight com- ' partments, and provision is made for 500 tons of water ballast. She has seven boats, which aro fitted out according to the requirements of tlie I'assengers Act, and which can bo used at a moment's notice. Tho Passenger Accommodation. Both cabin passengers and immigrants having left the vessel, we were enabled to make an inspection of their apartments. So far as accommodation was concorned,the arrangements appeared to be on a par with those of the Westmeath, viz., up to the re- ! quirements of the Passengers Act,but very little more. All apartments aro situated On the 'tween decks, the immigrants being berthed as follows:—Single women, aft; married couples, amidships;.and the single" men in the forward portion of the ship. I The cabin passengers' apartments are also forward of the bridge. Each apartment is .provided with its hospital and other ' requisites, and appears to have been kept 1 clean and in good order during the voyage. Some of the married people amongst the- I immigrants, when asked how they fared during the trip, replied, " Oh, very welL" ', The weather experienced, they said, had - ■ not been bad, excepting one storm which lasted for about six days. One passenger related how the vessel used to roll when' there was any sea on. He said it was nothing unusual to seagpumbers of the inhabitants of his apartment suddenly rolled out of their bunks and sprawling about on i the dock, as the vessel rolled from side to side. On the whole, however, they appear • to have no complaints to make, and'alf land in excellent health. The Doctor's Report.

Dr. Menzies, who holds the position of ' surgeon on board, speaking of the immi-.." grants, said that the general health of allj| classes has been very good* indeed. Any^ sickness that has occurred has been of awV.: ordinary character, and no infectious disease of any description made its appearance. Four iiaft.nte died during,' the passage from natural causes, ana > one was born. All on board, Dr. Menzies says, are of a superior class, and of the ' single girls especially he speaks in very ; favourablojterms. The married people, he? , also remarked, are mostly skilled artizans, ' the number of labourers being very few. During the trip concerts were got up amongst the passengers. Several dances were also successfully carried out, also a series of sports, which were greatly ap* predated. last of Officers. The Triumph is commanded by Captain J. Brotherton, the list of officers being as follows :—Chief Officer, Mr Thomas Owen; Second Officer, Mr John Searle; Third Officer, Mr Burgell; Fourth Officer, Mr Frederick Lowe; Purser, Mr Glover Clark; Surgeon Superintendent, Dr. Menzies. She carries four engineers, viz., Messrs Fisher, Taylor, Morgan, andPage.andsoventaen firemen. Miss Hall, the matron, has, we understand, performed her duties well during the voyage, and appears to be generally liked. Those under her charge appear to have been well cared for. Report of the Voyage. We are indebted to Mr Glover Clark for % various items of information respecting the voyage, and also for the following report. The s. s. Triumph left London on September 23, and Plymouth throo 'days' later. : Cleared the Channel on the 28th with strong westerly winds, which lasted for two days. Had northerly winds to 36deg. SSinin. N., : and 13deg. 57min. VV. Cape St..Vincen* was reached on October 5. Coaled there, and left again on October ?• Had easterly winds to 23deg. 33min. S., and 7deg. 57min. E. The Equator was crossed on October 12th in 13deg, 27inin. W. Southerly winds were ex- f periencod to Table Bay, which was made on October 24th. Coaled there and left on the following day. Variable winds were \ had until reaching 3-Jdog. 14min. S., and 29deg. 89min. E. On October 28th a heavy gale sprang up from S.W., with very high 6oa, during winch the forestaysail and the J foretrysail were split and other gear about the decks started. The ship's head-' was brought to the sea. In the afternoon 3 the wind shifted to the S.E,,the sea running 'k high. Toward evening the gale began to moderate. From October 28 to 30 " strong southerly winds were met with,, succeeded by light airs and calms. North- ' easterly woather was had to November 4, the ship being then in 43deg. 6min. S., and 64dog. 27min. E. Hobart was reached ' on Nov. 17, it having been decided to put. in there for a fresh supply of coal. Speaking of the vessel's arrival there, the Hobart "Mercury" says: —"At f 8.30 a.m. on Saturday a large steamer wos > seen off Adventure Bay. Many arid various wore the conjectures as to what ahe - was. As soon as 3he came up near enough I to be made out* she was found to be the Triumph, 51 days out from London, with immigrants on board bound for Auckland. It was afterwards ascertained that she had put in here to replenish her coal bunkers. At J1.20 she dropped anchor in Sullivan's Com A large number of porsons wore anxious to visit the vessel, but were not allowed onboard." Tlio passengers were not allowed to go ashore at ' Hobart, but thirteen of the crew succeeded in running away, and it was found necessary to Bhip other men .in their. stead. Hobart was left on the morn- . ing of the 19th instant, and Auokland , reached at 6.30 a.m. to-day—fair, variable weather having been experienced during the voyage across.

Nathan and Co., have made all possible arrangements to give the vessel quick despatch, but, unfortunately, the passenger arrangements were found to be of such a character as to seriously impede the discharge of cargo, of which there is on board large consignments for Auckland, Wellington) Lytteltcn, and Dunedin. The vessel hag four hatches, and each has been converted into a companion, to give ingress and egress to and from the passengers' quarters, situated on the 'tween decks. Thus, after luggage had been discharged, Captain Nearing, who is superintending the discharge of cargo, was conetderably delayed in having to clear away the passengers fixtures in order to get access to the hold where cargo was stowed. The Triumph will remain here about three or four days,and then proceed South, where she will load for London, taking, amongst other -cargo, a large shipment of frozen meat for the London markets.
