The Joseph Rowan, from Liverpool, with 376 Government emigrants, arrived at Adelaide n the 16th instant, after a passage of 88 days. The Adelaide Times, in reference to this ship, make the following remarks :- It is rarely, indeed, that an emigrant vessel arrives against whose officers (those under the Commissioner, or belonging to the ship, or against the quality and quantity of provisions) some complaint is not made, even though the general order, looked upon without scrutiny into each department of duty, may not deserve censure. But the Joseph Rowan is a meritorious exception to the rule. Discipline has, in her case, been enforced without recourse to harsh measures, they emigrants have quietly yielded obedience to the authority which the Surgeon-superintendent and Captain mildly but firmly exercised, and the pleasing result is, that every regulation of the service has been strictly observed, and that the advantage of this discipline is now gratefully acknowledged by the emigrants, who appear to have been very judiciously selected.
