They wish, however, to pay for the land by instalments in fruits of the field. The party from Saxony on the next pages is similarly circumstanced, and both can be recommended by me as most respectable persons and most especially their leaders, (looks like) MICKERT from Liegnitz and (looks like) DEUTSCHER from Saxony.

THE 'ALFRED' FROM GERMANY. The ship Alfred, 635 tons, H. E. Decker, commander, from Hamburgh 20th August, and Rio 17th October, arrived on Wednesday, with 275 passengers, chiefly from Silisea and Saxony. Most of them are small farmers, who intend settling upon the lands of the South Australian Company. The Alfred was chased by the Danish man-of-war Meander for eight hours, during which as many as eight shots were fired, but the chase escaped by superior sailing. The efforts of the pacificators were incessant, and certain conditions which had been approved by the Diet at Frankfort were forwarded to the Prussian Government for ratification. New levies of troops were stationed close to the boundaries of Jutland, ready to invade if the overtures happened to be rejected. In the meanwhile trade was brisk in Hamburg, and prices were looking up in consequence of the expectations entertained by many commercialists that the blockade would be renewed. The next ship laid on for Adelaide with emigrants, was the Steinwarder, to sail on the 25th August; and to be followed by the Godeffroy, also with emigrants ; and another vessel was said to be under engagement.
