THE AUSTRALIAN PACKET-SHIP, BOMBAY.
Among the passengers brought home by the
Brazilian packet Teviot, which arrived at Southampton on
Saturday, were about 50 belonging to the Australian lion
Bombay, which put into Rio in a leaky condition. nib
following notice of the Bombay appears in the Melbas's.
Argue of a late date :
" THE VICTORIA EXODUS.— Amongst the numbers Of
old residents now leaving the colony, the passengers by the
fine old Indianian, the Bombay, occupy a position worth?
of remark. Amongst them we havo Mr. Johnstea, late
member for the city and long well known in connection with
public business in the colony. As an active anti-transportoi
tionist, and identified with the popular and progressive party
in our political world for years, Mr. Johnson leaves behind
him many sincere friends. Another passenger is ter.
Green, whose activity and promptitude in the conveyance
of our mails in the earlier stages of colonial history, ren-
dered very great services to his fellow colonists Mr. Green
has been a great patron of our public institutions, and has
always displayed a kind heart and energetic temperament.
1 We also notice Mr. James Murray, very well known as one
iof our oldest colonists, and very generally and deservedly
respected. Mr. Macredie, his son•indaw, Mr. Cordell,
first mayor of Melbourne and member for the city; Mr.
Collyer, of Green Hills; Mr. Furlonge, and others. It is
rather a sorrowful thing to find so many of our oldest WW-
dents leaving us, but it is some satisfaction to know that
few of them go without a fair share of the good things of
the richest country in the world ; and if we can only !Ito'
cecd in et irring up our empty mockery of a government into
securing some approach to a better condition of society, we
have a very strong conviction that numerous as are the
desertions at present from our shores the time will came
when moat of our runaways will be glad to come hook
I again."
The Bombay left Melbourne on the 27th of Febrairi
last, a few days after the Atraveida. which brought she
latest news we have received, she left with a very rough
and inadequate crew, not one of whom would Join the
vessel without 451. for the run home. The name of the
captain of the Bombay is Flamansk. She heel on beard
about eighty passengers 27,000 ounces of gold, 2,40 J bolos
of wool, and thirty tons of tallow. She made a good too,
to Cape Horn in five weeks, near the Falkland iths oat e,
the crew became mad, and attempted to murder
the captain and wounded him SO lillSgelBllSly don
the mate was obliged to take charge of the shit'. Al"ut
two days afterwards the Bombay sprunk a leak of an alarm-
ing nature. The crew were unwilling and unable to ow
nage the ship and manage the pumps, aii,l the latter del
was obliged tube undertaken by the pass tigers. The frw
tlemen passengers worked at the pumps incessantly for
eight dare and nights, while the ship WAS making 20 mot of
water in 2 I hours. The lady passengers were obliged to act
as cook and stewardesses. While in this fearful extrema?
a gale come on, and carried away nearly every hit, of :.1.1.1.
