On Wednesday last arrived in Table Bay the ship Hero of Malown, bound to Sydney, Christpher JACKSON commander, eleven weeks from Portsmouth, having on board the following cabin passengers; Jas. ALEXANDER Esq, wife daughter, governess and servant; T. SKINNER Esq, wife, child and servant; B. SIMMS Esq, daughter and son; Jas. THOMPSON Esq, wife and three daughters; J.W. BRITTERS Esq, surgeon; 41 intermediate and steerage passengers – one of this number is Mr. Wm. GRAHAM, a very intelligent engineer, having under his care 32 adults and children sent out by the Australian Mining Company, intended to work the coal mines at Newcastle. We are much indebted to the Captain for his nautical skill in conducting the vessel into harbour, after encountering many adverse winds and much thick weather. We have great pleasure in stating that the passengers and crew appear in good health. Great credit is due to the Medical Gentleman for his skill and attention to such as were sick, several of whom laboured under severe indisposition, but are now restored to health. And we feel great pleasure also in asserting that a more agreeable and pleasant party could not be in a cabin on board ship.

Departed this Life, in her 60th year, at one o’clock this morning, Mrs. Hester Aletta BAILEY, wife of Dr. Samuel BAILEY RN, and only surviving child of the late John Gysbertus VAN REENEN Esq, late of Strand-street.
Cape Town, 29th Oct 1841.

DIED at Oatlands, near Graham’s Town, on the 18th instant, Caroline, second daughter of Lieut-Colonel SOMERSET. This very amiable and accomplished young lady was only in her 20th year. Her death was sudden, caused, as we learn, by a determination of blood to the brain, of which the only symptom, to within an hour or so of her death, seems to have been a slight head-ache. Such events are striking; they speak very directly to the heart. Happily in this case the tone of the sufferer’s mind had disarmed even sudden death of its terrors. She is followed to the grave by natural tears, but they are such as a “better hope” deprives of bitterness, and will finally wipe away:
“On the cold cheek of Death smiles and roses are blending,
And beauty immortal awakes from the tomb!”

After dinner, at which a large party met, the happy and accomplished pair left Cape Town for Liesbeek Cottage, to spend a short time at that delightful retreat previous to their embarkation for India.
On Monday morning Capt. CODDINGTON and his lovely Bride, accompanied by Col. TRELAWNY and a train of gay friends, went on board the splendid ship ‘Edinburgh’, which was superbly dressed with flags, the whole presenting the most lively and pleasing spectacle that has been witnessed at the Cape for a considerable period.
