MISCELLANEOUS SHIPPING.

The Castle Eden was signalled at daybreak, and was shortly after boarded and anchored by the pilot on duty. She is a fine-looking vessel and on, having taunt masts and square yards: but on her length becoming apparent, she is not prepossessing, though a vessel of great carrying capa- bilities. Captain May courteously furnished an account of vessels spoken, and lists of passengers and cargo, from which full particulars are given elsewhere, but no remarkable feature of the slightest importance beyond the ordinary routine of an immigrant vessel has occurred. Several friends of the immigrants visited the vessel yesterday from the Semaphore Jetty, and doubtless the number on board will be reduced considerably before she proceeds into har-bour

From SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. in the South Australian Register (Adelaide, SA : 1839 - 1900) of Monday 29 December 1862, Page 2 we see the following

Omitted in manifest of Castle Eden, from London— 29 hhds. ale, 29 do. stout, 2 hhds. and 4 qr..- casks brandy, J. Newman and son.

The Castle Eden.— Although the above vessel is lying at the Lightship large numbers of the people have landed. The Prince Arthur steamed from her to the Port on Saturday with over one hundred on board, and several boat-loads disem-barked at the Semaphore Jetty, from which point four boats were constantly engaged throughout the day. The Commissioner of Crown Lands boarded her from his yacht on Saturday, and afterwards returned to Glenelg. Dr. Crane speaks in favour able terms of several of the domestic servants who await engagements, and he also confidently recommends the majority of single men as belonging to a class of servants very eligible for colonists.
