PORT OF AUCKLAND ARRIVALS Invererne, ship, Foreman, from London. Passengers: Saloon. Dr. H. M. Britten, Mrs. Britten and infant, Mr. W. L. Coward; and 208 Government immigrants. - N.Z.S. Co., agents.

ARRIVAL OF THE INVERERNE.

The iron ship Invererne, from London, arrived in harbour yesterday afternoon. She brings a general cargo and 208 Government immigrants. They have all arrived in good health. The Health Officer, Dr. Philson, is to proceed on board this morning, at 9 o'clock, to examine the passengers, and they are to be landed this afternoon. Owing to the Health Officer not visiting the ship yesterday on her arrival, we are unable to furnish our readers with an extended report of the vessel's passage. From Captain Foreman we, however, learn that the Invererne left Falmouth on November 1 and passed the meridian of the Cape of Good Hope on December 30. Strong winds from the westward prevailed. Sighted the Three Kings on January 25, and had baffling winds and calms up the coast. The passage throughout has been of a most pleasant description. There were three deaths (children), and five births during the passage.

...

The whole of the immigrants per ship 'Invererne' from London, were landed by one of the North Shore ferry steamers on Saturday afternoon last. They appeared a most superior class. They were immediately taken to the immigration barracks, and will be open to engagements from to-day.

...

The immigrants by the 'Invererne' are as respectable and decent looking a body of persons as any that ever took up their abode in the immigration barracks. This was the general remark of persons who saw the passengers land on Saturday afternoon.
