This splendid new vessel arrived yesterday from Dublin, after a very fine passage of ninety-five days, with 336 prisoners onboard, who all appear in a healthy condition, and two deaths only have taken place during the voyage. The utmost cleanliness and discipline appear to prevail throughout, and credit is due to the captain, surgeon, and officers of the vessel, for the state in which they have brought her into harbour. Captain Fenwick reports that he spoke the Waterloo. ship, from London, for Port Phillip and Sydney on the 22nd August, off the Cape de Verd Islands on Monday last, off Kent's Group, exchanged signal with the Sarah Scott, barque, from London, for Sydney, 112 days out.
