tural emotion and great earnestness. He alluded with
Much feeling to his former master, the late George Ste-
' Phenson, and referring in succession to the works on
Which he had been engaged, and enumerating as he pro-
ceeded those by whom he had been assisted (of whom
4lany were in the room), he declared that but for their
h
e'lergetic and able co-operation the success he had met
with could never have been attained. Mr. Brunel, whose

SIDNEY, NEW SOUTH WALES, APRIL s.—The
Steadfast, Spencer, which arrived here on the 26th ult.,
has been 120 days on her passage from Plymouth; and
on her arrival in the harbour was placed in quarantine.
She has on board 213 emigrants, andwith them, as re-
gards health, has been particular unfortunate. On her
passage from London to Plymouth fever broke out
amongst them, and on arrival
thatated port all ooncebuopaierda
were landed, and the ship fumigated
some weeks. She sailed from thence With a c
health on the 25th November, but in the
montlhesan o
bfill of
Ja-
nuary and February upwards of 100 cases of tir ypus
fever, scarlatina, and measles again occurred, but
twelve
deaths only took place, ten of them being infants.
There is no actual disease now existing on board, four
convalescent cases only being on the sick list. The cir-
cumstances, however, of one death having occurred only
six days since, and so much illness taking place on
board the vessel, rendered it necessary for the health
officer of the port to place her in quarantine for a few
days. She has since, however, been released, and her
passengers landed.
