SHIP NEWS. -- On Sunday
sailed for Port Jackson, the ship Bombay, Captain George Young. On Tuesday arrived from England, the ship Regalia, Captain Dixon, with a most valuable and extensive cargo of British and other goods. She left England immedi- ately after the David Shaw; and on her passage she put in at Rio de Janerio, where she staid five weeks.--Passengers, Mr. And Mrs. J. Emmett and family, who intend to reside here; Mr. And Mrs. G. M. Slade; Mr. And Mrs. John Raine and family; Mr. Joseph Whitfield; Mr. Thomas Mor- ris; Mr Charles Roberts; Mr. William Maycock; Lieut. J. P. Geilaher, of the 103d Regt; Mr Robert Graves; Mr William Eldridge, Mr John Blackwell; Mr John Wood; Mr John Byfield; and Mr. John Harden, who embarked at Rio. On Wedneday arrived from Port Jack- son, the ship Admiral Cockburn, Captain Briggs, with 150 mail prisoners.--Passen- gers, Frederick Drennan, Esq. Deputy Comissary General, and Lady; Miss Walch; Mr. and Mrs. James Cox and fa- mily; Mr. James Stewart; Mr. Even Griffice; and Ensign Hayes, of the 48th Regiment |
The prisoners brought by the Admiral Cock-
burn were landed this morning; 50 at Kanga- roo Point for Port Dalrymple, and the remain der at Hobart Town. The whole were in- spected by His Honor the Lieutenant Governor; and the latter were assigned to carious Government employments, and as ser- vants to the settlers who applied for them. Part of the cargo brought out by the Regalia is the property of Messrs. Raine and Curr, mer- chants; and, we understand, is choice and select. There are some carriages, and amongst them the stage coach intended to run between Syd- ney and Parramatta. The former of these Gentlemen, we are informed, has been actively engaged in making purchases of, and contracts for wool; and we are happy to find a com- mencement has been made to turn to advantage this essential article. We congratulate the agriculturists of the Colony on the arrival of a portable threshing machine in the Regalia--the first introduced to this Island; and we trust it will be the prelude of a supply of those engines which the exper- ience of years in England has shown to be of the greatest utility in lessening the labours of the farmer. This machine will be employed on an extensive settler's premises at Pitt Water for some time. |
