The Storm Cloud is a fine roomy vessel and is exceedingly well fitted up for passengers. The immigrants appear to have been well selected, comprising a good number of the most useful occupations, and the number of families of small children is much less than usual.

Among them are: 32 domestic servants, 5 shepherds, 30 ploughmen, 43 labourers, 11 carpenters, 4 blacksmiths, 12 masons, 1 clerk, 1 printer, 1 sawyer, 3 millers, 2 miners, 1 saddler, 2 butchers, 1 engineer, 3 gardeners, 1 tailor, 1 quarryman, 1 wheelwright, 1 confectioner, and 1 book binder.

The passengers were on Monday comfortably landed on the Dunedin Jetty by the steamer
"Geelong," and it is to be hoped that their prosperity in the Province, which we
heartily wish them, will quickly obliterate any unpleasantness of the voyage.

Sudden Deaths. On Tuesday last a man of the name James Fleming, who was working on the road at Saddle Hill, complaining of
feeling ill, and walked in to Dunedin. He was admitted to the hospital, and on Wednesday morning was found dead in his bed. We have not heard the cause of death, but we understand that the body swelled to a most extraordinary extent. The deceased came to the colony by the
Storm Cloud, and was to all appearance a fine strong healthy young man.. he was unmarried.
Another sudden death occurred at Dunedin on Friday last. It appears that a young man, of the name
Alexander Hay, was about to be married, and on Thursday night had partaken rather freely of intoxicating drink. On
Friday morning the door of his house being found open, a passer-by looked in and saw the deceased lying with his head on the bed., with a
bottle near him. Medical aid was sent for, by Hay was found quite dead. The deceased came to the colony by the
Storm Cloud.
