THE EMIGRANT SHIP « SHACKAMAXON.'
The satisfaction caused by the first announcement of this arrival was soon followed by feelings of deep regret when it was ascertained that a considerable number of deaths had occurred on the passage.
The beautiful ship Shackamaxon, 2500 tons, left Liverpool on the 4th of October, having on board 696 Government emigrants ; the cabin passengers, officers, and ship's crew making a total of about 780 souls. We have the authority of the Liverpool Standard for the statement that the Shackamaxon and three other large ships bound to the Australian colonies were sent to sea sooner than their charterers would have desired, and probably at some inconvenience to them, owing to the circumstance that, under the new Emigration Act, coming into operation in October, their fittings, &c, might have had to be remodelled to comply with its requirements if they had remained longer in port. We fear that this hurry to get away may have contributed in some measure to the sad amount of mortality which all must deplore. We have now before us lists of 57 deaths and 19 births ; but as we recognise the same names in both lists, the deaths may include several of the infants, and we forbear to publish either until we can distinguish the deaths of very young children from those which have occurred among the passengers of riper years. The names of the many hundreds who have arrived will be found in our Shipping Intelligence column. It will doubtless have been observed by many of our readers that on board several of the very large emigrant ships which have arrived latterly at Melbourne, the mortality has been very considerable ; and such a succession of evil tidings will doubtless lead to serious inquiry by H.M. Commissioners in England as to the propriety and expediency of sending so large a number of families and individuals in one ship. Here the Government and the Immigration Agent have a special duty to perform in the case of the Shackamaxon, and we have no doubt that the inquiries and examinations of Dr. Duncan will be followed by a luminous report and the requisite publicity.
Whilst the ship remained in the Mersey, her beauty of proportion and frigate-like appearance at tracted universal admiration ; but we fear that there may have been insufficient ventilation, or an incompleteness in the arrangements and special supplies necessary for the well-being of an unusually large body of emigrants undertaking so long a voyage. The duration of passages from England to Australia by sailing vessels having been astonishingly lessened by the application of science, experience, and the employment of superior vessels, we cannot be reconciled to such painful disparagements as those which have recently occurred. In the case of the Fair ield, which arrived here from Liverpool with emigrants in 1849, after a voyage of six months, the only death was that of an infant born on board ; and in the case of the Trusty from Gravesend, which arrived here in 1838, there were only two deaths, although four births occurred, during a long passage of 24 weeks.

THE ':SHACKAMAXON.'
We record with pleasure the fact that :-Dr. Duncan's inspection of this ship is likely to be followed by a report, honourable to the Commander and the Surgeon-Surjerintendent and gratifying to the owners. Dr. Duncan describes the Shackamaxon as one of the finest passenger-ships he has ever visited, and declares that he found her in admirable order, well ventilated in every part, and unusually replete with the accommodations and conveniences requisite for a long voyage. His impression is, that most of the cases of sickness manifested themselves or originated whilst the ship was in the Mersey, and that (in strictness) some of the patients should have been put on shore. The cases of mortality among the adults were six in number, and the causes of death are thus classified :—
Dysentery ... ... ... ... ... 4
Natural decay ... ... ... ... 1
Questionable ... ... ... ... 1
The case termed 'questionable' is that of a female who is supposed to have terminated her own life by a dose of laudanum, which she is supposed to have had in her own possession. The adults or persons of mature age who died on the passage were : — . William Wylie, aged 63, from Dumfries; John M'cal- luim, aged 56, from Argyle; John Bell, aged 35, from Dumfries; Richard Graham, aged 43, from Tyrone; Ellen Benton, aged 21, from Lincoln; Edward Eastment, aged 15, from Somerset. The following is a list of the children and in fants who died on the passage (including infants born on board) : — Jane Adams, aged 1 year, from Rutland ; John Alsop, 1 year, from Warwick; Ann Blackwood, 4 years, from Ayr; Peter Blackwood, infant; Catherine Begley, 10 years, from Armagh; George Cook, 12 years, and William Cook, 3 years, from Kent; Catherine Craig, 1 year, from Renfrew:; Andrew Dann, 8 years, from Tipperary; Ruth Daviea, 1 ? year, from Monmonth; Alexander Forrest, infant; James Fraser, 1 year, and George Ferguson, 3 years, from Clackmannan; Jane Gault, infant; Eliza Gray, 1 year, from Surrey ; Isabella Graham, 5 years, from Tyrone ; Herbert Golding, 1 year, from Middlesex; Henry Jones, 1 year, from Hants ; Margaret Kilpatrick, 2 years, from Ayr ; Ana Kerr, 1 year, from Clackmannan ; Elizabeth Matheson, 1 year, from Boss; Catherine Matheson, infant; John Mac Kinnon, 6 years, from Bute ; Elizabeth Miller, 2 years,' from Fife ; Hector Morrison, 1 year, from Koss 1 Sophia McGill, 1 year, from Ayr ; Joseph Martin, 1 year, from Hants ; Elizabeth Marshall, 1 year, from Cambridge ; Ann Letcalf, 1 year, from Westmoreland ; Victoria Norrial infant ; John North, I year, from Leicester ; Isabella Pratt, infant ; Elizabeth Ann Richards, 5 years, Maria Richards 2 years, and William Richards, 1 year, from Cornwall'* Robert Reid, 3 years, from Shetland ; Agnes Robins, 3 years', from Kent; Maria Robins, infant; Ann Roach 1, from Wicklow; Margaret Sinclair, 1, from Shetland; Elizabeth Sinegar, 1, from Warwick; John Sherry, infant; Mary Ann Simpson, infant; Benjamin Wylie, infant; William West, infant; William West, 2, from Monmouth; Thomas Wilkinson, 2, from Norfolk; James M'Tavish, 1 year from Fife. The greater' number of deaths occurred, as will be seen, among the very young children, the cause being scarletina. Two children died from inflammation of the brain and two from pneumonia.

THE "SHACKAMAXON."
The Court of Enquiry for the investigation of the emigrants' charges against Dr. Allison, the Surgeon-superintendent, commenced its sittings yes- terday at Port Adelaide. A reporter from this establishment attended, but could not obtain admission, as the enquiry was to be conducted with closed doors. It was stated that above a hundred witnesses would have to be examined. Pending these proceedings we refrain from any remarks.

THE ' SHACKAMAXON.'
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN REGISTER.
Sir,— It is much to be regretted that the investigation prayed for by about 100 heads of families, and now going on at Port Adelaide, was Not commenced on board the ship, or at least before so many of the passengers had left Adelaide for distant parts of the colony. When I attended on Friday last, with so many others, I saw several who I am sure, could very badly afford to ride or walk to and from Port Adelaide, or remain there for hours at their own expense and loss of valuable time ; and the least; that can reasonably be done by the Court of Enquiry is to examine the most Important witnesses first instead of taking a whole day to examine a very few and comparatively unimportant cases as was done on Friday. I am going down for the second time on Monday at my own expense, but I know many of my fellow passengers who either cannot or will not be kept waiting for a protracted examination. I hope you will have no objection to let these, my sentiments appear in your paper. I am, Sir. your humble Servant, THOMAS BARLOW, late Chief Constable on board the Emigrant ship Shackamaxon. January 29, 1853.

THE " SHACKAMAXON."
The investigation of the charges against the Surgeon-Superintendent of the Shackamaxon is likely to occupy the Emigration Board for several weeks' unless indeed the major part of the complainants (unable to bear the expense of remaining at the Port), should retire without giving their evidence. A Court of Enquiry into the conduct of a public officer is of little service unless its decision can command the most perfect respect. The complainants have a right to demand that its censure shall have the full weight of a judicial decree ; and the defendant is equally entitled to expect that its acquittal shall be as complete as that of a jury. But these results will be vainly looked for unless the enquiry is so conducted as to ensure the confidence of the public. This confidence can hardly be awarded to a secret tribunal; for Englishmen are accustomed to open courts, and they are accustomed to consider pub- licity the principal guarantee of impartiality. For this reason we regret that the Court of Inquiry should sit with closed doors. Believing, as we do that its members desire to act with even handed justice, we cannot but feel that its secrecy will be disadvantageous to both parties. Should the emi- grants establish their charges, they may justly complain that their full extent will not be known ; and should the Surgeon (as we hope and trust he may) be able to meet the accusations to the satisfaction of the Board, he may still suffer from the unfavourable impression attendant upon rumoured charges unac- companied by explanation. But its secrecy is not the only objection to the mode in which the enquiry is conducted. The emigrants are in everyway discouraged (unintentionally of course), and many of them, as we have already intimated, will probably retire without making their complaints. The Court has no antechamber, and they have all to wait outside in the open air not knowing whether they may be called upon to-day, to-morrow, or to-morrow week ; nor when they will be at liberty to attend to their own affairs. This chiefly arises from their not being allowed to engage any assistance in the conduct of their case — a restriction very much at variance with the usages Englishmen are accustomed to respect ; for the parties do not stand upon equal ground. The complainants are, for the most part, poor uneducated persons, in some instances females, while the defendant, we presume, from his position, is a man of education and superior intelligence. He has also the peculiar advantage of having been in authority over them for several months past, which alone would render it difficult for them to state their case freely in his presence, and in that of a Board of gentlemen, his quals in rank, but not theirs. He has also the advantage of sitting with the Board during the entire enquiry, while each of the complainants has the disadvantage of being brought in before a number of strangers to undergo an ex- amination and cross-examination under circumstances very likely to detract from his or her self possession. In fact, the emigrant seems rather brought in as a defendant than a prosecutor, while the accused has almost the appearance of being one of the judges. We fear no alteration will be made in the conduct of the present Court ; but we are not without hopes that on any future occasion a more satisfactory mode may be adopted — that the proceedings will be public — that the complainants will be allowed to select some fellow-passenger to manage their case, and also, which is almost equally important, that the enquiry will take place before the emigrants have left the ship.

THE "SHACKAMAXON" ENQUIRY.
Our readers will remember that when an official enquiry was ordered by the Govern ment into the complaints of the emigrants per Shackamaxon against the Surgeon-Superintendent of that vessel, we objected very strongly to the secret nature of the inquisition, and condemned the unnecessary delay in the institution of proceedings. The evils which we pointed out as likely, if not certain, to result from the exclusion of the reporters of the press, have actually come to pass. The injustice of the decision arrived at, and even the infairness of the course of procedure adopted by the judges, is now bitterly complained of by some of the parties affected ; and the public are without any means of forming an opinion for themselves on a matter of such infinite im portance as that of the strict administration of mpartial justice. We have received a long letter from Mr. James Fawsett, "late Religious Instructor of emigrant ship Shackamaxon," pointing out in what respects he has been unjustly condemned by the secret tribunal which was appointed to investigate the charges made by the emigrants against the Surgeon- Superintendent, and praying us to allow his letter of vindication to appear in our columns. This request we regret that we are unable to comply with, not only because the letter contains charges against third parties, but because we should feel reluctant, on an exparte statement which the exclusion of our reporters from the the court of enquiry does not enable us to verify, to throw discredit on the solemn adjudication of even a private official court of enquiry. But when the writer informs us that the Board decided three charges against him on the single unsupported testimony of one witness ;' that 'he took down four witnesses to contradict these charges ;' that his principal witness to disprove in toto the charge of drunkenness in particular was never 'heard, nor even allowed a hearing;' 'that his co- adjutor the Assistant Surgeon, Mr. Hardy, was 'condemned without a trial, without being heard ; when such complaints as these are addressed to us, we feel bound, to express a confident persuasion that if Mr. Fawsett were to appeal to His Excellency on those grounds against the decision of the Court of Investigation, measures would be instantly' taken to afford him an opportunity of substan' tiating such serious allegations.
