This very magnificent Ship has just returned from her first
voyage, after accomplishing the fastest passage from the eastward
of the season. Deeply laden, she has beat all her competitors,
and she is put on the berth with every confidence that she will
keep up the high character of this line for ral id passages and
essential completeness in all requisites for the comfort and health,
of intending passengers. On her voyage to Melbourne she car-
ried a large number of passengers, who were all landed without a
single casualty, and presented a very satisfactory address to Cap-
tain Underwood on leaving the ship, expressing their entire satis-
faction with all the arrangements made for their comfort, and his
general attention and urbanity. Everything that experience can
suggest has been done to make the ships perfect in every respect,
more especially in the matters of light and, ventilation.
Carries a Surgeon and Chaplain, and an extensive Library.
