TESTIMONIAL TO CAPTAIN DECKER, OF THE ALFRED. (On board the ship Alfred.) Tuesday, November 15, 1864. To A. Decker, commander of the ship Allred. Dear Sir, —Deeply impressed with a sense of the many obligations and favours conferred on us during a long and pleasant vovage, and whilst the same, by the will of Divine Providence, has been so successfully accomplished, it is now full time that we should perform the pleasing task of coming forward and expressing our grateful acknowledgments. To say nothing of our admiration of your great skill and unweared vigilance as a captain—qualities which throughout inspired even the most timid passenger with confidence, and a moral certainty of safety,—we feel much pleasure in communicating to you our grateful acknowledgments for the constant attention you paid us, and for the readiness which you ever exhibited, in the most gentlemanly manner, to remove the many discomforts necessarily attendant upon a sea voyage of so long duration. We must not omit to advert likewise to that courteous demeanour and Christian liberality of sentiment so eminently worthy of your station, and so admirably calculated to remove prejudice, which you have always exhibited, by facilitating in every convenient manner possible the education of children, and the free exercise of our devotions. To your first and seeond officers, Messrs. Luby and Wolfe, and to the gallant crew of sailor boys under your command, wo also tender our best acknowledgments for their unvarying kindness. Wishing you every happiness, and a safe return to the bosom of your families, whilst we pray that an all kind and bountiful Providence may protect and sustain 3'ou in your important and perilous duties; that your future cares and anxieties may meet with the same success which attended them in our regard, and that you may have the cheering consolation to find them responded to by a truly sincere, grateful, and appreciating public, w« beg to subscribe ourselves your sincere and admiring friends. (Here follow the signatures.) (On board the Hamburgh barque Alfred.) November 15, 1864. Captain A. Decker. Sxr. —We the undersigned steerage passengers beg to tender onr most sincere thanks to you and your officers, for the kind and urbane treatment we have always experienced at yom hands, and also for the manner in which you have conducted your vessel in bringing us safe, after a long and perilous voyage. We must now conclude, as words we have not sufficient, by wishing you and your officers every happiness and prosperity: and may God bless and protect you all in your dangerous calling is the sincere prayer of all. (Here follow the signatures.) H.M.S.S. Falcon arrived at midnight on Wednesday from Matakana, with his Excellency the Governor, and left again for Napier yesterday The s s. Wonga Wonga sailed for Russell yesterday, and •v;l! proceed from thence to Wellington. The Express, brigantine, and the Rita and Freak, brigs, for Newcas.le cleared yesterday at the Customs. The s.s. Auckland entere I outwards for Wellington yesterday, and will sail on Saturday. The s.s. Eginont, Captain Tredwin, belonging to the Panama Royal Mail Company, arrived off Port Phillip Heads at 9 p.m. SOth instant, and anchored in Hobson’s Bav, at 10 a.m. on Monday. Her advices from England are to 3rd August; St. Vincent, 18th August; St. Helena, 7th September; and Cape of Good Hope, 26th September; and she brings out a mail frem each of those places, except St. Vincent, Two days were occupied in coaling at St. Vincent. After leaving that port, experienced S.W. winds to 4“ N., then strong trades S. by E. to 3.5.E.. with a heavy southerly swell, which rendered it necessary to put into St. Helena for a further supply of coals, where she was detained four days. From St .Helena to the Cape she still had to contend with strong S.S.E. trades till within two days sail, when the wind veered round to N.N. W, with heavy squalls. Site arrived at the Cape early on the morning of 22nd September, where heavy weather detained her five day's coaling. Thirty-six hours after leaving the Cape, she encountered a severe gale, veering from S.W. to W.N.W. with a heavy cross sea, vessel being very deep, and shipping large quantities of water, after which drawing round to the N.E., and from that time to sth October the wind heading easterly, and during the next three days strong gales from W.N.W. From the 9th to the 14th light and variable winds, and to the 24th very heavy weather and strong gales, with heavy cross sea from W.N.W. and N.N.VV, ; since then, light winds from W.S.W. to S.S.E., and fine weataer. She has nine firstclass passengers, three children, and two second-class passengers for Melbourne ; and six first-class passengers for New Zealand ; also, a detachment of three sergeants and thirty rank and file from the disbanded St. Helena regiment, as volunteers for the other regiments in New Zealand ; also, two women and one child. The Egmont was built by Messrs. Henderson and Coulburn, of Renfrew, and is fitted with a pair of inverted diagonal oscillating engines and other most approved appliances, such as a ‘condenser for fresh water, steam winch, &c. Her saloon is lofty and well ventilated, and the cabins are fitted up with very' requisite for the comfort of passengers. It contains, also, a well fitted ladies’ cabin. Her secon'-class arrangements are very complete, and well , I adapted for the trade she is intended for, namely, the 1 inter-colonial. She is under the command of Mr. • i Charles Tredwin, to whose courtesy we are indebted for | tiles of papers to the latest dates. Captain Tredwin ’ reports that the Black Ball ship Avalanche, having sprung a leak, had put info Table Bay, where she was receiving repairs. The Dutch barque, General Michael, sixtysix days out from Rotterdam, for Singapore, was spoken I on the 14th September, in lat. 31 0 26’ S., long. I 0 14’ W. — Aye, November 4. The ship Avalanche, an Australian trader, put into Table B.iy, on Sunday', in a leaky state. She is bound from Liverpool to Melbourne, and lett the 1 former port on the 9th July'. Before crossing the 3 equator, ou the 3rd of August last, the vessel was found to be making a great deal of water, and continued i, on the following days to make eight iuches per hour. The cause of the leak could not be ascertaind ; but the s pumps had to be kept at work. On the 28th August, the leak was found to be increasing, and from that dat® li until Sunday, when she arrived in Table Bay', the pumps had to be "kept going night an i day—the passengers b (twenty-two in number) relieving the crew, and even the four lady passengers taking turns —still they found ® gnat difliouh/ in keeping the ship tree. They were all exhausted when they came into port. The agents, Messrs, c-euri-iit and Co., immediately sent off a gang of eounca to WUi.. ~le as tUc vessel Was CulltiUlliUg to make about thirty incites water per hour. She has fifty tons of gunpowder on board, and very heavy pack--1 ages of machinery in her hold. She will have to dis--9 charge. —Cape Ary us, Sept. 12. 6 Abandonment of Scindia. —The Grahamstowu Great Kastei n of Tuesday, 20th September, supplies !’ the following telegrams from Port Elizabeth;—“ Port ’ Elizabeth, Saturday’, 6 p.m. —Great excitement prevailed Lris all yesterday' and to-duy, especially' among f those connected with the shipping. A large ship was seen, with her mainmast gone, and every appearance of - ueia K aoau.it,aeu, auout twentv miles south or Cape iteteii 1 -. .1 . port boat is not yet ashore,, but the follow- - i n g are the particulars:—The brig Alicia Ann, R, Kirby, owner and cantaiu, belonging to Newcastle, and the ship VtTiinn. a splendid iron ship, 1,132 tons, of , j Livernnol. belonging to Moore and Co., boarded the . Seiuuia y c. iei.icy afternoon, an 1, finding no one on if board, agree' to go halves, and get her into port. On 1 the ship’s si.to was written in chalk, ‘ Stand by’ us dur-

. ! ing the night.’ From this it is supposed that the crew had been taken off by some other ship. Capt, Maxted, of the Aminta, was here before in the ship Rajastan. Dunnell, Ebden and Co. were his agents. He has, therefore, consigned the vessel to that firm. The Scindia is from Calcutta with a cargo of silks, &c., said to b® valued at £150,000. She is a complete wreck; the mainmast gone about three feet above deck ; decks swept and bulwarks gone; three feet six inches water in the hold. Monday, four p.m.—Mr. F. B. Pinney, collector of customs, ha* returned from Grahamstown, and, under official appointment of the Admiralty' Court, has taken possession of the derelict ship Scindia. —Weekly Age, November 4.
