The ship Sebastopol, Captain Duncan TAYLOR, arrived from London on Thursday evening, after a long passage of about 124 days. She left Gravesend on the 17th January and encountered heavy gales in the Channel, losing a few sails; lost sight of the land on the 9th February. She brings us 17 cabin and 27 2nd cabin passengers, besides 205 assisted Government immigrants.
Comparatively little illness has occurred on board, no deaths, 3 births and 1 marriage. The passengers speak in very high terms of the captain, surgeon, and the officers of the ship for their uniform kindness, courtesy and skill. A few days before arrival a purse of sovereigns was presented to the captain, in addition to a very flattering testimonial bearing about 230 signatures; also one of a similar character was presented to the chief officer, Mr. W. R. GREEVES, signed by all the passengers.

23 Aug. 1865 per ship “Tudor”, sailed from Gravesend June 10th
Arrival of the Tudor
The Rangitoto brought the tidings that a ship had been seen off Banks Peninsula; it proved to be the Tudor. The pilot boat started and boarded her off Pigeon Bay at 7.30 p.m. on Saturday and she arrived at Camp Bay on the same evening. Dr. DONALD went on board and determined to place the vessel in quarantine. The Tudor had a protracted voyage of 105 days, owing to light winds as far as the Cape of Good Hope. Stewart’s Island was lighted on Wednesday last. The ship was released from quarantine yesterday by the Immigration Commissioners. Four deaths took place on the passage of children under four years of age. One case of small-pox occurred during the early part of the voyage. The passengers, 18 in number, in the cabin, amongst whom are Mr. and Mrs. WAITE, are in good health. Dr. MacDONALD, lately surgeon of the Blue Jacket, is the surgeon in charge.

10 Aug. 1866 per ship “Bombay”, sailed May 4th 1866
This vessel arrived off Camp Bay on Saturday evening after a voyage of 107 days from London. This is accounted for by meeting with a succession of head winds and calms, crossing the line on the 45 day out. On Sunday morning the ship was moved from Camp Bay to her present, anchorage off Diamond Harbour. Capt. SELLARS has furnished our reporter with the following particulars of the voyage;
Left Gravesend May 6,1806; weighed anchor and proceeded on our voyage with a fresh S.W, breeze, and cloudy weather; went outside of the Goodwin Sands, where we found a short chopping sea. May 8th Still turning down channel against light winds, discharged the pilot at 8 p.m. off the Owens light vessel and proceeded; 12th, strong westerly gales, took our departure from the Start Point; 14th, westerly winds still continue; got clear out of the channel: 16th, infant child of Mr. Sydney SMITH died of dysentery and was buried same day; 28th, passed east of the Island of Madeira without seeing it and we have been very unfortunate, having had only one day’s fair wind since leaving Gravesend; 30th, in latitude 30° 4′ N., long., 18° 10′ W. spoke tho ship Cursitjee Furrondjee, from Liverpool to Calcutta, only 12 days out, and we are 26 days, they having had N. Westerly winds all the way; 31, Got N.E. trades in 27° 50′ N. long., 19° 50′ W. which continued until the 10th of June; very light and variable throughout.
June 15 – Crossed the equator in 27° 50′ W. having got through the Doldrums pretty well, and without any very hot disagreeable weather, or calms, wind proving southeasterly and light, got the S.E. trades same day, which carried us into 21° 18′ lat., and 35° 9′ long., they proving very light, from thence up to the meridian of Greenwich, had very indifferent winds making little progress. June 27th – Got caught in a heavy squall which carried away mizen top mast and top gallant mast. June 30th – Got up new mizen top mast and yard, sail bent and set. July 5th – Main top sail tie broke when the yard broke in two. On the 11th – Got up top sail yard, bent and set sail again. From meridian of Greenwich to the Cape, which was passed on the 10th in 43 1/2° south; we have had moderate breezes, but from thence up to Tasmania a great deal of light and very variable winds, indeed since leaving the S.E. trades we have never had a steady wind for 12 hours together; 16th – Got up mizen top gallant mast and yard and set sail. 21st – Had a severe gale with furious squalls, wind varying from north to W.S.W. and back, causing a heavy cross, confused sea: ship taking a good deal of water on board; one sea carried away part of bulwarks and stove in main hatch; a large quantity of water got down below, frightening the passengers greatly; 25th – Had another gale similar to the above; sea high and cross; ship rolling heavily, at times taking much heavy water on board, quantities of which got down below in spite of all attempts to stop it; Aug. 5 – Had another heavy gale; indeed it has been gale, calm, gale, calm, rolling continually round, flying about round the compass for this last month, From August 5th – had light variable winds making poor progress. On the 11th and 12th – Had S.E. gale and on the 13th, a calm until sighting the Snares on the 15th, having nothing but baffling winds and calms coming along the coast till Friday morning, got a strong breeze from S W which lasted till the ship got round the Peninsula; was off the Heads on Saturday morning and anchored as above.
The passengers generally are in the enjoyment of good health, and speak kindly of the Captain and his officers and also of Dr. BATT the Surgeon Superintendent, for their unremitting attention to promote the comfort of all on board. The ship is a pattern of cleanliness, and the class of immigrants appear to be well suited to our growing wants. Mr. J. D. MacPHERSON is the agent for the Bombay.

24 Oct 1867 per “Glenmark” sailed 18th August 1867
This ship arrived at the anchorage opposite the town yesterday, at noon, after a very pleasant passage of 80 days from Plymouth to sighting the Snares. She left the East India Docks on the 15th August; sailed from Gravesend on the 18th, and left the Downs on the 20th; the pilot left the ship off the Start on the 25th; passed the Lizard on the 26th, and after a good run, passed Madeira on the 3rd Sept; the Canaries on the 4th and Cape de Verds on the 10th.
The Equator was crossed on the 27th and Trinidad was sighted on the 29th. On the 4th October, a lady saloon passenger named Mr BARNARD died: the Meridian of the Cape was passed on the 14th October, and the run to the Snares was accomplished in 28 days. The land was made on Sunday the 10th inst. and on coming up the coast the. passage was made under a succession of head winds, accompanied by heavy showers of rain. Capt. WRANKMORE has reason to be pleased with his favourable voyage.
From the saloon to the fore-cabin, all the passengers express their satisfaction at the efforts made by the Captain and his officers to ensure their comfort. With the exception of the death of one of the saloon passengers every one has arrived in excellent health. Dr MITCHELL, a gentleman well known in this trade, is the surgeon superintendent in charge of the Government Immigrants, comprising about 125 statute adults- mostly young females of a superior class. By this vessel it will be seen by reference to the passenger-list that some of our old colonists have returned, including Mr and Mrs Mark STODDART and family, Miss SKILLICORN, and Mrs C. THOMSON, and others. The Glenmark is consigned to Messrs. Miles and Co, and may be expected to be the 3rd wool ship this season.
The following testimonial was presented to Capt. WRANKMORE by the saloon passengers:
The Ship Glenmark, Nov. 12th 1867
Dear Sir
We the undersigned cabin passengers, being on the eve of terminating a most successful and rapid passage from England, wish to convey to you our thanks and to express our thorough appreciation of your universal kindness, courtesy, liberality, and desire to promote the happiness and comfort of all under your charge, and to bear testimony to your excellent qualities as a commander and gentleman in this most responsible position.

Captain BABOT has furnished the following report: Left Gravesend on the 3rd July at 6 p.m.; parted with the pilot off the Isle of Wight at noon on the 6th, wind westerly with dense fog; turned down Channel, and on the 8th, at 6 p.m. the last English land, the Scilly Islands, was seen, bearing north, 26 miles; on the 9th, signalled the ship Robert Henderson, from London to Otago; remained in company up to the evening of the 11th, when the wind freshening we gave her the go-by. From this time, we experienced light and variable winds. In latitude 32 N. we fell in with the N.B. trades, which were very light and were lost in latitude 14 N. From this up to 1 N we had light and variable winds when the S.E. trade winds set in. On July 21 signalled the barque Stormy Petrel, from Rangoon, bound north; on the 25th signalled the barque Akbar, from Liverpool, bound to Buenos Ayres. The captain being sick, Dr FOX volunteered to go on board and on his return, sent medicine back. On the 30th exchanged signals with the Maori, from Auckland to London.
On Aug. 2nd lat. 6 N., long. 20 W„ signalled and passed the ship Brockham from London to Melbourne. On Aug. 4, signalled and passed the barque Safeguard from New York, bound to Madras. On Aug. 5 crossed the equator in 20 W longitude; same day signalled the ship Asealon, from London to Sydney. The S.E. Trades were brisk, but lost in 30 S. latitude. On the 17th exchanged signals with the City of Agra, bound to Calcutta, On Aug. 30th passed the meridian of Cape of Good Hope, in latitude 43.30 S. The longitude was run down between the parallels of 42 and 45 S..
Strong gales and high seas and very unsettled weather were experienced in running down the easting. The largest day’s run was 331 miles; for 7 days the ship made over 300 miles in the day; 1900 miles were made in one week. On Sept. 24 passed the meridian of Tasmania. On Sept. 27, at 2 p.m., sighted the Snares, blowing a heavy S.W. gale with high sea. On Sept. 28, at noon, was off Otago Heads, S.W. gale increasing; at midnight was off Banks Peninsula. Captain SPROUL, pilot, came on board at 11 o’clock on the 29th Sept. and we anchored off Port Levy. The Hydaspes has made a fine passage, the run from the Line being especially noteworthy.
