As wosurmis.'d in our Saturday's issue, most of our long expectcd foreign vessels have turned up. The North Easterly wind which sprung up on Sunday last, lias been the means of bringing in some dozen of our London and Colonial ships, tho first to lead tho van being the clippor Silver Engle, Captain Ross, after a good run of 81 daj's from London. Yesterday the flagstaff, from early sunrise, was kept brisklv decorated with signal and bunting, there being no less than nine arrivals during the day. .The first to come iu was our old acquaintance the BELLA. MARY, Barque, C iptain CopD-ln?, from Iloblvt Town via Dunedin. with fruit, timber, &a. She sailed from Hobart Town on tho Ist ult., with a valuable freight of rams, horses, and other live slock for tho Dunedin Agricultural Show; arrived there on t!ie 16th. and after discharging sailed again for this port on the 21st, experiencing fine weathor all along the coast, with Northerly winds, and arrived in harbour at 10 a.m. The Bella Mary's m:mifo3t will bo found elsewhere. After the Belli Mary was tho brig ANNIE LAURIE, 277 tons, Captain Hays, from Chili, with a cargo of flour and bnn. This brig, which, it will bo remembered v,*ae purchased here some twelve months by Captain Hays, left Curruimbe, coast of Cnili, oil the fith January s"had fine weather throughout, and arrived here yesterday morning. She reports flour at £30 per ton in Chili, and nothing lending for tho colonies. The Annie Laurie s cargo, which comes to order, consists of 3259 Bac'-fS flour, and -100 bags bran. Tho noxt to arrive was the Dauedin barque VRO3PECTOR, 25-t tons, Cap'ain Duncan, from Chili, with a cargo of 6500 bags flour, consigned to Messrs. J. Roberton and Co. Sho sailed from St. Antonio 011 tho 21th December, and had fine -weather with light winds throughout, sighting the Great Barrier Island on Saturday last. Reports the Sir George Grey as loading for thi* port when 6ho sailed. Tho Prospector lnd hardly anchored before the ship LIVERPOOL, Captain McEweu, from London, rounded tho North Head, after a passage of 110 days. Shortly uftor she hove in sight, the numbers "25" were hoisted at tho signal station, signifying "diieaseon board," and the ship steered away for the quarantine grounds, from the fact of so many people having friends on board the I iverpool. the announcement caused great excit- ment in town, and every one was anxious to know what the disease was. At half-past four, Tlios. Beckham, Esq., R.M., accompanied by Dr. Philson, Health Onicer, Capt. Williams, H\M. Customs, M!r. "W. S. Laurie, and the members of the Press, proceeded down to the Quarantine ground for tho purpose of making the necessary enquiries, &c., from the captain and doctor. Upon arrival close to where the Liverpool was the fallowing questions and answers took placc :— 1. "What is tho tonuago of tho vossel, and her 1 name ? Answer : Liverpool—l,4.34 tons. 2. "What is the master's nanio, and are you the master ? Answer: I am the captain, and my name is McEwan. 3. From whence do you come, and when did you sail y L Answer: London, Nov. IG. 4. At what ports have you touched on your pas- ' sage ? Answer: None. 5. What vessels hive you hal intercourse or communication with on your passage, and from whence ( did they come ? Answer : Wo have had no communication with any vessel. ' 6. Have you any, and what, bills of health ? Answer: None; they were not required coming from London. J 7. Did the cholera or any other highly infectious and dangerous disease prevail at the place from which you sailed, or at any of tho plaeos at which you have touched, or 011 board of any vessel with whicli you have had communication P If so, state when and whore ? Answer: There was no prevailing disea3o when we left. , 8. In the CTinso of your voyage, have any person on board euffored from Bickuess of any kind ; what was tho nature of such sickness; and when did if. prevail ? How in my persons wero uffected by it ; and have any of them died iu tlia courso of tho voyage ? Answer: Yes; we have had sickness. Typhus and typhoid fever, and various other complaints prorailcd. There were, 17 cases of typhoid fever, from which there were two deaths 011 tho 17th December. It does not now exist on board. There was one death from typhus fever about live weeks ago. It entirely disappeared ahr.ut the 23th January. We have one ease of fever in tho hospital now, a young woman of IS years, but not a bad ease. We" have no small-pox, scarlet fover, cholera, plaeue, or other infectious disease on board, and alt the passengers are healthy, excepting tho one now in hospital; she has been ill since the 10th February. 9. What number of officers, mariners, and passengers have you on board ? Answer: Four officers, 24 seamen, and 102J passengers. 10. What was the whole number of persons on board your vessel when you sailed ? Answer: 220 all told ; thcro were 3 births and 3 deaths. 11. What is the whole number of persons now ill on board your vossel ? Answer: One. With this thec-nquiry ended, and the party proceeded back to town. A Board will be held this morning, in order to consider tho advisability of admitting the Ship to pratique, which we hear will, in all probability, be done during the coursa of tho day,;tha caso now on board not being a very serious one. The Liverpool has lmd a very pleasant passage, and wo expect to be able to lay her full report before our readers in to-morrow's issue. Tho Liverpool had scarcely dropped anchor when she was closely followed into harbour by our old acquaintance tho ship MAORI, 700 lons, Oapf. Roberts, from Adelaide, in ballast. She sailed ou the 17th ult;., nnd had fine moderato weather throughout; passod the North Cape on Saturday last, tho Poor Knights on Sunday, and anchored in harbour at 2 p.m. yesterday. The Maori brings 8 passengers,' a:>d is consigned 'to Messrs. Cruiekshank, Smart oud Co. fSho hm *9me

here to load for homo, having been chartered to convey a portion of the 43rd Kegt. to England. The next to arrive was the schooner SWORDFI3H, 155 tons, Capt. Nappor, from Melbourne. She sailed on tho 11th ultimo, and hud variable winds and weather all tho way across, sighting the Three kill"8 on Thursday night last. The Swordfish brings 3 passengers —Mcacrs.

Captain Duncan, of tho Prospector, reports that tho Sir Georgo Grey, barquo, only 23 days from Auckland, arrived off Valparaiso on the Bth Dec., and after laying off and ou for 4 days, proceeded to Quinteros, about 30 miles from Valparaiso, to load for this port. She may therefore be shortly looked for. Tho p.s. Tnsmanian Maid, Cuptain Jackson, left I yesterday for Coromaudel, with Several passsengers, and will return again this afternoon. Sho sails tomorrow for Wangarei. The barque Alice Cameron, Captain Nearing, saus this evening for Sydney, a full ship, both as regards cargo and pissengers- , .
