ARRIVAL OF THE CITY OF ADELAIDE WITH IMMIGRANTS.
The resumption of immigration in a modified form has taken place in the arrival of the City of Adelaide, which called at Plymouth, and then embarked 107 souls, equal to 94½ statute adults. These were in addition to her own complement of passengers in the cabin, and for their accommodation the 'tween decks were fitted up in the usual manner of bygone days, save and except it was not entirely clear, for a space before the main hatchway was filled with cargo. However, the single men had a good compartment forwards, while the married couples were berthed on the starboard side of the main hatchway. There were not many families, though over 20 souls, great and small people, occupied the space allotted to that class, There were 7 males and 11 females, with 6 male children and 12 female children. Of single men there were 26, all healthy looking persons, who ought, from appearances, to make good colonists. There are 25 single females, some of whom are servants ; but the greater proportion have arrived through the advice of friends in the colony. ln the industrial columns there are 20 described as servants, 6 as housekeepers, 2 as dressmakers, 9 as copper miners, 16 as laborers, with 1 as printer's laborer. In nationality the English preponderate, numbering 69 ; while of Irish there are 37, and a canny Scot alone represents his nation.

During the voyage the passengers seem to have enjoyed very good health, and on arrival were in excellent spirits. The time had been considerably enlivened by some private theatricals and other diversions of a like description, in which the crew and passengers have united to produce amusement which was highly appreciated. The captain  has so far secured the good wishes of his passengers that in addition to a flattering testimonial, which may be read in the customary column, a general desire to make him a handsome present resulted in the  idea being put into a perfect state for realisation as soon as the magnificent donations can be expended at Wendt's. Of the Doctor the people are loud in praise ; for while his discipline was somewhat strict, as soon all hands found it was for their  welfare there  was no more trouble. The passengers, with one exception, where pleased with their  treatment, ship, and officers. All the passengers were passed, and as soon as possible Mr. Sison and several of the passengers landed at the jetty. The City set all sail on day of arrival with intent to proceed into harbor, but the wind headed her, and she was obliged to await the tug, which will take her in this morning.
 
THE SHIP CITY OF ADELAIDE.

This fine vessel has brought the first lot of immigrants under the amended regulations. She,   after leaving London, called at Plymouth, and on quitting that port had 107 souls, equal to 94½ statute adults. For the accommodation of the emigrants the 'tween decks were fitted up as in bygone days, except that the space was not entirely clear, a part before the main hatch way being filled with cargo. The single men had a good compartment forward, while the married couples were berthed on the starboard side of the main hatchway. There were not many families on board. The single men are healthy-looking, and ought from all appearance to make good colonists. Some of the single females are domestic servants, but the greater proportion have arrived under arrangements made by friends in the colony. The industrial column of the passenger return includes servants,   housekeepers, dressmakers, copper miners, and labourers. In nationality the English preponderate, and the Irish are numerous, while there is merely one Scotchman. During the voyage the people enjoyed good health, and upon their arrival they were in excellent spirits. The time has been considerably enlivened by private theatricals and other entertainments, in which the crew and passengers united to produce amusement, which was highly appreciated. The captain so secured the esteem of the voyagers that in addition to a flattering address, which may be found in the customary place, a general desire was expressed to make, him a handsome present, and this idea will be carried out. The travellers are loud in praise of the doctor, and although his discipline was stringent, yet when it was fully realized that this was for mutual welfare there was no trouble. It is said that there is never a rose without a thorn, and although the company as a whole had a good opinion of the treatment of the officers, at the last one malcontent complained because his wife was not supplied with bottled porter. All the people were passed by the Health Officer, and as soon as possible Mr. Sison and several of the cabin passengers landed at the Semaphore Jetty.
The City of Adelaide set all sail upon the day of her arrival, with the intention of proceeding into harbour; but the wind headed her, and She was obliged to wait for the tug's services on. Friday morning. An elaborately scheduled return of the whole of the passengers on board has reached us, but the names of the occupants of the cabin we give in the shipping column, and the detailed information regarding the immigrants we subjoin here: —
