The favouritepassenger ship, *Joseph Fletcher*, Capt Foster, which hadbeen signaled from an early hour on Wednesday morning, continued to bebecalmed the greater part of the day. Between 1 and 2 p.m., a fine steadybreeze set in from the NE and by 3 p.m. she reached her anchorage, aftera fair and pleasant passage of 102 days from the Downs, whence she tookher departure on the 7^th of July. The crossed the Equator onthe thirty-third day. On the 4^th of September, passed the meridianof the Cape of Good Hope in the 40 degree S lat. Passed to the southwardof Van Diemen’s Land; and on Sunday last, made the Three King’s about1 p.m. Her cargo and passengers are all for Auckland and we cannot butcommand the prudence and propriety of this course which is sure, in thelong run, to prove the most advantageous to the ship, shippers and consignees.TheJoseph Fletcheris unusually deep, having 200 tons ofcoals, a number of fire bricks and a considerable quantity of iron onboard. She has also made an addition to our stock by the introductionof a young Durham bull and eight Southdown rams. There are 92 passengersin all; amongst them a considerable proportion of assisted immigrants;and, if we may judge from appearance, as well as from report, of a classlikely to prove serviceable colonists. Capt Foster continues to maintainhis high reputation as a popular commander of a popular ship. All of hispassengers are eloquent in his praise and three separate addresses havebeen presented to him. This, we have been given to understand, is likelyto be his last voyage. On his next return, he will, in all probability, become a resident, as may be gathered from the address of the Cuddy passengers, a copy of which we subjoin.
DEAR SIR – After a prosperous and pleasant voyage of rather more than three months, we find ourselves brought within a few days sail of Auckland. We have assembled together this evening for our last weekly reunion, around that cuddy table, over which you have presided with such unvarying kindness to all of us. And we therefore think there can be no more fitting opportunity, than the present, for expressing to you our sincere and warm regard for you as a man – our high estimation of your ability as the commander of the noble vessel which has been to us so happy a home. Over the health and comfort of each, and all of us, you have watched with an unremitting attention that has made us, from the outset to the termination of this voyage, of more than 18, 000 miles, look upon you as a personal and valued friend. Anxious, therefore, as we all may be – some to rejoin our families in New Zealand, and others to find ourselves actually in that ‘new land of ours’ to share in the advantages of which we have left our Mother Country, perhaps for ever; - we should yet have reason for regret if our arrival there proved the termination of our acquaintance and intercourse. But we are glad to learn that you, yourself, are likely soon to return, also to become a citizen of that thriving young Anglo-Saxon state, which we believe to be destined, under God’s providence, to be the Great Britain of Australasia. And when you have taken this step we hope that many, if not all of us, may be able to welcome your arrival with your family, and so renew that friendship which has been so happily formed on board theJoseph Fletcher. We would also wish, through you, to express our sense, not only of the ability of your officers, but of their constant and obliging attention to us, as passengers; - and to offer our best thanks, therefore to Mr E J Hammond, surgeon, Mr H F May, chief officer and Mr Nelson, second officer, of whose professional prosperity and promotion we hope hereafter to learn. In conclusion, we have again to thank you for your kindness to all, and to add our hope that you may have a safe and speedy voyage home, and as safe and speedy a passage on your return to Auckland, not as a commander, but as a permanent settler in New Zealand.
*To Captain John Foster, Commander of the ship ‘Joseph Fletcher’* SIR – At the close of our safe and pleasant voyage, we, the passengers of theJoseph Fletcher, feel called upon, before landing and separating, to tender you our hearty and unanimous thanks for the care you have taken for the comfort and well being of all on board; and to express our high opinion of the admirable discipline maintained by you and your officers. We sincerely wish you a safe and speedy passage back to England – and again thanking you for your kindness and courtesy, We remain, Sir, Yours, very respectfully,

….This steam ship under the command of Capt Mailler came into harbour last night at 8 o’clock after a passage of 6 days from Sydney. This is the quickest run she has yet achieved on her downward run. The ‘Denny’ left Sydney on Saturday 28^th ult. At 8 p.m.; she was advertised to sail at 5 p.m. but at that hour the steam ship *City of Sydney* made her appearance from Melbourne, having on board the London July mail. Capt Mailler at once applied to the Post Office Authorities to have the Auckland mail put on board his ship. This request was promptly attended to and in the short space of an hour and a half from that time the bags were in the hands of the Sydney Post Office, the letters and papers were sorted and on board the ‘Denny’. For five days after leaving Sydney she experienced a succession of heavy gales and confused seas. One horse out of the 38 shipped died. Cargo included 35 passengers, 37 horses, 2 ponies, 6 drays and general cargo.
