Miscellaneous Shipping

The Berar (Immigrant Ship) has been successful in getting rid of a great number of her passengers, and on Monday morning there were but 150 souls left on board. On Saturday the Treasurer and some members of the Executive and Marine Board visited the vessel, and spoke very highly of her general appointments. From enquiry we learn that she is remarkably well adapted for passenger transport, having ample height between decks and every requisite for comfort. She is furnished with Graveley and Winchester's patent cooking apparatus, which has worked exceedingly well, and for ventilation Dr. Edmonds's patent trunk ways are laid throughout. The Surgeon-Superintendent (Dr.Graham) has made fourteen voyages to the colonies, five of which have been to Port Adelaide, and he unhesitatingly asserts the present are the best ordered lot of people he has sailed with. The voyage passed away without the lightest disturbance of any kind. The Berar is a very eligible vessel built of iron in 1863. From her adaptability to the trade there is reason to suppose she will soon be taken up for a return voyage.

ARRIVAL OF THE BERAR.

This immigrant ship moored in the Stream on Tuesday evening, after a passage marked by no incident of importance. The people on board are up to the average, and it is pleasing to notice that under the care of Dr. Graham there has been no case of sickness during the voyage. Dr. Duncan will muster the people to-day, when we shall take the opportunity of visiting the ship and noticing her internal economy.   She left Plymouth on the 22nd June, and cleared the Lizard the following day. Crossed the Equator July 16, and rounded the Cape August 14, arriving off the Leuwin September 9, and made Cape Borda on the evening of September 16, making the passage in 87 days. Captain Hall reports falling in with fine weather and healthy trade winds both north and south of the Equator ; but on running down easting encountered very heavy weather, interspersed with gales from the southward, which lasted until the arrival in the Gulf. The steam-tug Young Australian put off to meet her, and immediately towed her over the bar into harbor. The following particulars of passengers are from the official papers:— English — John, Ellen, and Ann J. Champion, Joseph and Mary Cundy, Thos., Susannah.
