Newspaper Coverage of the Surry (Surrey) Voyage of 1838

THE SOUTHERN AUSTRALIAN from the Southern Australian (Adelaide, SA : 1838 - 1844) of Saturday the 29th of September 1838, Page 3. [13]

ADELAIDE : SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1838.

On Sunday last, the 23rd instant, the Winches-ter, Captain SALMON, 400 tons burthen, arrived in the Port, with 83 Commissioners' emigrants, and several cabin passengers, after a passage of 101 days, including a stay of two days at St. Ja.o. By this vessel there are letters and papers to the 11th June.

His Excellency Colonel GAWLER, and suite, left the river, in the Pestonjee Bomanjee, four days before the Winchester, and sailed from Ply-mouth on the 10th June ; he may therefore be expected to arrive every day. The Surry, with emigrants, had also sailed, and several vessels were immediately to follow.

The latest intelligence received, in England from the Colony was up to the 6th January.

Colonel GAWLER, we understand', comes out with authority to reduce or remove such officers as he may think fit ; and the report that the powers hitherto vested in the Governor and Colonial Commissioner are to be united in his person is confirmed. There is, however, to be an Assistant Resident Commissioner, with the salary at present attached to the full office. The offices of Judge and Colonial Secretary were not filled up ; and the latter would not be disposed of until the arrival of Mr. GOUGER, who was daily and anxiously expected. His reinstatement is spoken of as probable.

DINNER TO CAPTAIN OF THE SHIP SURRY from the South Australian Gazette and Colonial Register (Adelaide, SA : 1836 - 1839) of Saturday the 24th of November 1838, Page 3. [16]

DINNER TO CAPTAIN SINCLAIR OF THE SHIP SURRY

On Tuesday last, a dinner was given to Captain Sinclair by the whole of his cuddy passengers. So unanimous a tribute to the gentlemanly and obliging procedure of Captain Sinclair is worthy of comment. To us it appears to be both honor-able to the captain and creditable to his passengers, in as much as it indicates that moderation and good sense—qualities, the exercise of which can-not be too strongly recommended to all persons undertaking a long voyage — have prevailed on board the Surry.

After the health of the Queen and the Governor had been done due honor to the health of Captain Sinclair and of Mrs Sinclair were drunk with enthusiasm; and the evening terminated in the most cordial and gratifying manner. The dinner, which was of a most sumptuous character, was given at Fordham's Hotel, and reflected much credit on its landlord. Captain Sinclair gives a farewell dinner to his cuddy passengers on board the Surry on Tuesday next. We understand that a number of respect-able colonists are already residing at a settlement which they have formed, and called Surryville, on the road to Onkaparinga.
