The ship Mariner, Captain Frazer a arrived in the bay on Friday, but anchored too late to be reported in our last issue. The Mariner left the Downs on the 2nd January, and thus made the passage rather under sixteen weeks/ She brings 141 passengers, including several assisted immigrants who have come to join their friends out here ; among the latter also are a good many Germans. About fifty of the passengers are for Otago, to which port the vessel proceeds when she has discharged her cargo here. The usual average weather has been experienced during the passage out ; and there has been one birth and two deaths — the latter being infants who were sickly when they embarked. A personal inspection of the vessel enables us to report very favourably on the cleanliness and comfort apparent on board; and all of the passengers with whom we have conversed speak in high terms of the captain's treatment of them. The Mariner is, we understand, the first of a new lino of vessels recently established by Shaw, Saville, and Co. We have much pleasure in publishing the following testimonials, which were presented to Captain Frazer shortly after the ship came to an anchor : — We, the undersigned cabin passengers of the ship Mariner, in congratulating her commander, Captain Charles Fraser, on the prosperous termination of our voyage, desire to tender him our united thanks for the courtesy and kindness he has invariably shown us during our passage. We also take this opportunity of expressing our satisfaction with the energy and skill he has displayed in the management of the ship, and our entire confidence in him in his present responsible situation.

I ' The captain of the Mariner reports having passed in the night time, about a week ago, a vessel which he supposed to be the Caduceiis, bound to Auckland. Her Majesty's brig Elk had sailed from Sydney for New Zealand, all the settlements of which she will visit before her return to Australia. The following is the list of passengers from Nelson by the Alfred the Great, which arrived at Wellington on the 17th instant : — Mr. Henry Beitt, Louisa M. Beitt, Charles T. Stafford, Rogers P.

Parmenter, Samuel Phillips, James Hesketh, Mary Ann Phillips, Thomas Baverstack, Mary Bentley, Frederick Williams, Frederick Trent. The steamer Wonga Wonga arrived from Wellington on Saturday morning, after a smart passage,

bringing on the passengers who had recently arrived from England in the ship Alfred the Great. The Wonga Wonga left on Sunday for Wanganui. i The steamers Prince Alfred and Lord Ashley also lift this harbour on Sunday morning for the northern and southern ports of the colony. The brig Gertrude is the only vessel loading at Sydney for Nelson direct.

The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's steamship Malta, 1913 tons, 500 horse power, Henry Down, commander, arrived at this port at 1 a.m., from Southampton, with eighteen, bags of mails from England, four bags from Cape Town, no passengers and no cargo. The Malta is one of the vessels 6ent out by the P. aud O. S. N. Company, under- the new contract entered into with her Majesty*s Government for the conveyance of the mails between the colony and England via Mauritius and Suez. '. She has very superior accommodation for a large number of first and second-class passengers, and is one of the fastest ocean screw steamers afloat. The Malta left Southampton 20th January, 1859, arrived at St. Vincent, Cape de Verds, January 30th ; sailed 2nd February ; arrived in Table Bay sth March, sailed 9th March, and arrived here Bth April. For several days after leaving England, the Malta encountered strong -ninds and gales from the southward and westward, accompanied by a very heavy sea' — the usual weather at that season in the English Channel and the Bay of. Biscay. January 25th. — ¥me weather and moderately fair wind, which lasted until arrival nt St. Vincent ; after coaling at that port proceeded for Sydney. From the time of leaving St. Vincent, uutil ' arrival off the Island of Triston D'Acunha, on the 2Gth February, had a continuance of light winds and calms, with the sea as smooth as glass; having but a limited time to reach Sydney, deemed it prudent to bear up for the Cape of Good Hope to take on board a further supply of coals, to enable the ship to take her usual turn, and thereby prevent any disappointment to the colonists in the transmission of the mails. Still experienced calm 3 and light easterly and south-easterly winds until the ship's arrival in Table Bay on the sth March. A scarcity of water existed at the Cape, but the inhabitants were taking measures to procure a better supply ; the committee for that purpose were to meet on the 9th March. There were about fifty vessels at the Cape, most of which were discharging cargo. The ships Jason, and Lord Baglan were lying m the Bay, the former with troops bound to Algoa Bay, and the latter homeward bound, having on board invalid troops. The latter parted her cables in a south-easter, but was again back in the bay in safety. H.M.S. Surprise left Simon's Bay for the West Coast on the 6th March. n.M.S. Hermes same clay for Table Bay, where she arrived on the 7th. The Pasha of Egypt's steamer D'Jeddah arrived same evening from Alexandria and Marseilles. She is to be stationed in the Eed Sea, to carry mails between Jeddah and Suez. She was originally intended for the Australian const trade, but subsequently- came into the hands of the Pasha. Small pox had entirely disappeared from Cape Town. -After leaving Table Boy had a succession of strong southeast gales and heavy seas for several days, succeeded by light northerly winds, until reaching longitude 53 deg. east. On the night of Wednesday, 16th March, George Dalcam, boy, son of the quarter-master of the watch, while going aloft to assist in stowing the main top gallant staystail, slipped when about half way up the lower rigging and fell overboard. A boat was immediately lowered and sent in search of him, but, although a bright moonlight night and smooth water, he was never seen afterwards. From latitude 46deg. 26miiu south, long. 93deg. 22min. east, experienced strong gales, with heavy squalls, from north to northwest by wobt, moderating to fresh breezes and fine clear weather, uulil arrival oIF Cape Otway on the sth April, these being in reality the only fair winds (with the exception of the north-east trades) since leaving Southampton. The Malta has not spoken any ships since leaving, and has seen very few. She left the Needles on the night of the 20th January, 1859, at 7, p.m., and arrived here on the night of the 7th April, at 1, a.m., after a passage of 76 days 16 hours, deducting twelve hours' difference of longitude, and including 8 days in port, viz., 4 days in St. Vincent and 4 days at the Cape ; consequently, she has been 68 days 16 hours at sea ; which, taking into account that she has had little or no fair winds until within h few days' sail of Australia, is a splendid passage. — Sydney Herald, April 18.
