The Hooghly has had a very good passage from Plymouth of 99 days. Five deaths oc-curred on the passage, in every instance contin-ed to children, and one birth. The Emigrants appear to be very well adapted for the colony, being principally from the Highlands of Scot-land, with a few English and Irish. We are much indebted to Robert M'Kay, Esq. acting Health officer, for procuring us a copy of the manifest. Our reporter not being allowed on board, through some foolish whim of the Immi-gration agent. we cannot give their classification.

The Hooghly spoke on the passage the Black-wall, bound for Sydney, from London.
