We have much pleasure in publishing the following letter from the passengers per Asterope, to Captain Mitchell, which speaks i'or itself. We understand that this fine ship is loading again for j this port, and will sail from London on the 25th June, having all her cargo engaged, and a full compliment of first-class passengers. The Asterope will be followed by the Wild Duck, which js advertised to sail early in August. To George Mitchell, Esq., Captain of the Asterope. On board, the Asterope, Gravesend, April, 1862. Dear Sir, — We, the undersigned passengers in the above ship, feel that we cannot take our leave of it or you its Captain without expressing to you our deep sense of the gratitude wo owe you for your uniform attention to our welfare and comfort in every possible way during our voyage from New Zealand. One of our number in particular felt that he cannot sufficiently thank you for your great attention to his wife during her dangerous illness, and he desires to take this opportunity of thanking you in her name most warmly for the same, as well as for allowing her so many comforts whereby her recovery was materially enhanced. We feel that it would be altogether out of our province to say anything of the way in which the duties of the ship have been carried on during her present voyage, but you must allow us to say that we have never sailed in a vessel where the captain's kind courtesy has been so uniformly reechoed by the other officers of the ship. _ We understand that it is your probable intention shortly to retire from the service in which so many years of your life have been spent. We desire that Almighty God mayljspare you many years to your family, and give you every blessing in the enjoyment of the well-earned fruits of your honorable service. We remain, dear Sir, Your's most sincerely, Signed, — A. F. Adams, Assistant Commissary General; 11. Adams: J. Wycliffe Gedge, B. A., Clerk in Orders: Sophia A. Gedge ; Walter Buchanan, Sarah Buchanan; W. R. Eastgate; JB\ Rowden. The Nonconformist special settlement party is now being actively developed. The two ships chartered for the conveyance of tho first detachment of some 800 or so, the Hanover and Matilda Wattenbach, will sail from the East India Docks for Auckland on the 29th inst., on which day a farewell demonstration is announced to take place. A further party of 400 will take passage in the William Miles, to leave the same docks on the 11th July. Albertland, wo believe, is the name proposed to be given to the new settlement. Later news has been received from Mr. Newman enclosing a plan of the township proposed plot to bo reserved by the Government. No letters have yet been received from Mr. Jones, the other pioneer, but they are expected by the Southampton Mail. Yesterday afternoon a deputation, consisting ot the Rev. Dr. Tomkins, Mr. Deputy Hobson, Mr. Brame, and others, had an interview with the Duke of Newcastle respecting the name to be given to the Nonconformist settlement about to be established in New Zealand. We understand the interview was satisfactory. The deputation was introduced by Edward Ball, Esq.,M. P. — • New Zealand Examiner,' May 17.
