FIRST IMPORTATION OF DUTCH
.SHEEP.--Thurs-
day forenoon the steam-packet Batavier arrived at the
St. Katharine's Steam-packet Wharf, from Rotterdam,
after having experienced very tempestuous weather,
having on board a considerable number of cabin passen-
gers, and an extensive cargo, chiefly consisting of live
agricultural stock. She shipped several heavy seas,
which, with the heaving of the vessel, occasioned the
death of no fewer than twelve oxen out of sixty-two, the
number shipped at Rotterdam. The Batavier also
brought sixty prime sheep, being the first importation
of the Dutch fleecy flock. She also brought a large
quantity of live poiltry, geese, &c. The passengers
reaped the advantages of the new Custom-house regula-
tion, relative to the examination of their luggage. Addi-
tional landing waiters and weighers having been in
attendance on the arrival of the Batavier, the passengers'
luggage was all examined, &c., in little more than one-
third of the time usually taken.
