About Elizabeth Clode

The fine ship Bank of England - one of the line of Messrs. Willis - arrived early yesterday morning, after a somewhat lengthy, but remarkably pleasant passage of 111 days. She left the Downs on the 7th Sept., and on the 8th Oct. crossed the Line, in long. 30 W. In lat. 1 north, one of the passengers, a miner, named William Hoskin [William Hocking 1831-1855], while amusing himself, with others, on the forecastle, fell overboard. The alarm was immediately given, and, within five minutes of the accident, the boat had been lowered, manned, and was within a very short distance of the unfortunate man, who was an excellent swimmer, when, horrible to relate, he was distinctly observed to be seized and pulled under water by sharks, several of whom had been seen following the boat. The deceased left a wife and child, the latter of whom is since dead. The ship had a good run to the Southward, and crossed the longitude of the Cape on the 20th Oct., in lat. 43°. Her extreme southing was in 46°, in which lat., and in long. 105°, Capt. Maxton spoke the ship Elizabeth bound to Geelong. She had also a good run to the eastward, having a prevalence of nor-west breezes, and having made abreast of Van Diemen's Land in 90 days. Since that time, she has experienced light northerly and nor-east winds, with calms, and might have made New Plymouth a fortnight ago. On Sunday, the 23rd, a breeze sprung up from the sou-west, and on Christmas morning, Captain Maxton sighted the Three Kings. On Wednesday, off the Barrier, he sighted the Carnatic for the first time during the voyage. The Bank of England has about 500 tons of general cargo, and passengers numbering in all 74 souls, of whom 40 - equal to 33 adults - are assisted immigrants, and 12 cabin passengers. We observe that those who are assisted consist of miners, blacksmiths, gardeners, shoemakers, tailors, cabinet makers, land surveyors, labourers, and their families; and are, we believe a good class of immigrants.
