We have to-day to announce the arrival of the ''Heejeebhoy Rustomjee Pattle'', the long-expected ship from Bremen, with 262 German immigrants, after a voyage of 117 days from port to port. Her passage has been a pleasant and prosperous one throughout, with the exception of Sunday last, when the weather was so rough and stormy, that the ship was nearly thrown on her beam ends, and even the sailors admitted that they were in considerable danger for a few hours. | |||
The passengers she brings are of rather a superior class, and comprise many workmen of trades much wanted here; for example, there are several linen, cotton, and cloth weavers, who seriously contemplate following up their various vocations, and speak confidently of being able to establish blanket, cloth, linen, and cotton manufactures: there are also several miners, two chemists, and a practical assayer, besides the usual sprinkling of carpenters, builders, shoemakers, tailors, &c. | The passengers she brings are of rather a superior class, and comprise many workmen of trades much wanted here; for example, there are several linen, cotton, and cloth weavers, who seriously contemplate following up their various vocations, and speak confidently of being able to establish blanket, cloth, linen, and cotton manufactures: there are also several miners, two chemists, and a practical assayer, besides the usual sprinkling of carpenters, builders, shoemakers, tailors, &c. | ||

The numbers of those who had left the Church of Rome to follow the new leader of dissent were very numerous, not only in Prussia, but in other districts of Germany, having even made no trifling progress in Austria itself, the Catholic, ''par excellence'', and bearing an appearance of being second only to the grand movement under Luther in the sixteenth century. | They are in good spirits, and appear to be well pleased with the first glimpse of their newly-adopted home, and are not a little rejoiced at hearing that perfect religious liberty is the rule of government in this country, as persecution on the ground of spiritual faith is more rife than ever in Germany, especially in the domains of the King of Prussia.

According to the reports of the best informed of the passengers, the desire for immigration to this colony is extending itself in every direction, and we may expect a very considerable and useful addition to our population from the various countries which form the total of Germany ; the movement is no longer confined to Prussia, but amongst the new comers by this arrival are Hanoverians, Hessians, Saxons, and others. | According to the reports of the best informed of the passengers, the desire for immigration to this colony is extending itself in every direction, and we may expect a very considerable and useful addition to our population from the various countries which form the total of Germany ; the movement is no longer confined to Prussia, but amongst the new comers by this arrival are Hanoverians, Hessians, Saxons, and others. | ||
