The good ship 'Devonshore' 831 tons, Captain Henry Holt, made her number

early on Saturday morning, and came to an anchor about 8 am on the same day.

She is in a clean and orderly state, and reflects the credit upon her commander

and officers. The 'Devonshire took her departure from the Docks on October 24th

and Gravesend early on the 26th and anchored in the Downs on the same night.

Weighed anchor on the morning of the 27th but encountered such heavy squalls

after starting that she put back and again came to anchor in the Downs the same

night. Took her final departure from the Downs on October 29th. and proceeded

uninterruptedly on the voyage. Kept to the westward of Maderia without sighting

it. On November 25th sighted St. Paul's rock and next day, November 26th crossed

the equator in 33 55 west. On November 28th sighted the island of Fernando

Noronha, a Brazilian convict establishment, and on the 17th December sighted

Gough's Island. Made a quick run thence to Prince Edward's Island, which was

sighted on the 28th of December, the meridian of the Cape of Good Hope being

passed on Christmas Day. On the 26th December and two following days passed

several large icebergs. Experienced fair winds and splendid weather from the

meridian of the Cape to the coast of Van Diemans Land, and thence to the New

Zealand coast. Sighted Cape Marie Van Dieman on the 3rd February and had light

winds and fine weather round the coast. Was off the Great Barrier on Friday

night at eleven, and made her anchor, as already stated, at 10 o'clock on

Saturday morning. The health of the passengers was generally good. There was

one birth and two deaths on board. The mother of the infant which was born on

the voyage, died 10 days after her confinement; and one seaman died of scrofula.

The 'Devonshire' brings four improved Lincoln, and one pure Lincoln sheep, for
