              Details: The Asiatic has made a fair passage of 97 days from Southampton to this port. She has on board 370 Government immigrants, who are classed as follows - 156 married people, 70 single men, 29 single women, and 115 children. There have been 5 deaths, all infants, and 1 birth on board during the passage. The immigrants are all English, chiefly mechanics and agricultural labourers, and appear remarkably clean and healthy. The ship is in a beautifully clean state, and certainly reflects great credit on the surgeon for the strict discipline he must have been compelled to enforce. No vessels connected with the colonies have been spoken during the passage.
