Arrival of the MAXWELL FROM London

The ship Maxwell, Captain G Jones, arrived from London last evening and brought up off the North Head. She has made a passage of 111 days from the Downs, having sailed on the 7th April. Took her final departure from the Start on the 8th, passing outside the Cape de Verds but inside Madeira Island. Experienced very light and baffling NE trade winds and crossed the Equator on the 2nd May, in longitude 26 degrees 31’W (23 days out). Had very indifferent SE trades and passed the meridian of thecae of Good Hope on the 11th May, in latitude 18 degrees 58’S, longitude 34 degrees W. Ran down her longitude between the parallels of 45 degrees and 46 degrees S., experiencing heavy weather throughout.

On the 15th June fell in with a heavy cyclone, during which time heavy rain, thunder and lightning prevailed and the wind ranged right round the compass. Passed in sight of the Southernmost party of Tasmania and had fine weather across to this coast.

Made the Three Kings on Monday last and was off the Great Barrier on Tuesday evening.

The Maxwell brings a large cargo and some 70 passengers, all of whom speak in the highest terms of the Captain and we have much pleasure in publishing the following testimonial presented to him by the different parties on board:

"On board ship Maxwell, 26th July 1864

"We, the undersigned passengers in the ship Maxwell, from London to Auckland, New Zealand, wish hereby to convey our thanks to Captain Griffith Jones, commander, for his kindness and attention to us during the voyage; and also to express our administration of your seamanship and the great care and anxiety which you have always shown to combine both speed and safety.

"We heartily wish you health, promotion and prosperity" Ibid, July 28
