BRITISH SHIPPING.
Statement of all ships that have sailed from the following ports in May, 1853, showing the name, destination, and freight of each vessel :—
FOR SYDNEY.
Talavera, May 14, (emigrants)
The fine-frigate built ship Talavera, belonging to Mr Duncan Dunbar, of London, is expected here about the end of the present week, to embark a full complement of emigrants from the Government depot for Sydney.
The Talavera has made a fine passage of 85 days from Southampton. She brings 377 emigrants, all of whom have arrived in good health, but during the voyage 25 cases of measles made their appearance amongst the children, in consequence of which she has been placed in quarantine.
Three children died on the passage, one from exhaustion, occasioned by the heat of the weather, and the two others from low fever, following the measles. The last case is reported by the surgeon of the ship to have been convalescent a week ago, and should no further cases manifest themselves, the ship will be, most likely, released in a few days.
August 25 — Talavera, ship, 917 tons, Captain Scott, from Southampton June 1. Passengers — Dr. W. J, Bowland and 377 Government emigrants. Smith, Campbell, and Co., agents.
ARRIVED.-The David M'Ivor from Liverpool, 91 days out; the Talavera, from Portsmouth, 84 days out ; the Waratah, steamer, from Melbourne; the Commodore, from New Zealand ; and a French ship from Wales, with (I am told) a cargo of coal. The Daniel M'lvor and the Talavera, (both with immigrants) having disease on board, have been ordered into quarantine.
The Talavera has made a fine passage of 85 days from Southampton. She brings 377 emigrants, all of whom have arrived in good health, but during the voyage 25 cases of measles made their appearance amongst the children, in consequence of which she has been placed in quarantine. Three deaths and one birth occurred. It is to be hoped, as all the emigrants on board the Talavera are now well, and no sickness has taken place for two or three weeks, that she will, in. a very few days, receive pratique.
