Prince Alfred. — We are glad to be able to report that the enterprise of some of our fellow-settlers has been successful, and that notwithstanding the heavy norwesterly gales which prevailed during the time she occupied the position of scarecrow on the beach, the Prince Alfred has been got off, and is now undergoing repair on the bank opposite our town. Considering the weather she experienced at the heads she has sustained surprisingly little injury — two of her butts a little started, paddle boxes stove, and a few sheets of copper destroyed seeming about the extent of it Most of her machinery having been removed, and the water pumped out of her, she was got off without difficulty as the tide rose on Saturday morning, and beat up to the mouth of the river, and thence sailed up to town the same tide. It is evident that most of the water which found its way into her at the time she was wrecked must have done so by the hatchways, as the whole amount of leakage is eaßily kept under by an occasional short spell with the vessel's pump. We understand it is the intention of her present owners to put her in thorough repair here and at Wellington, and then to run her between this and other ports in the colony. Wanganui Chronicle, October 1. Captures bt Confederate Cruisers.— Letters received in Liverpool state that the Confederate steamer Georgia was following fast In the footsteps of the Alabama. It will be remembered that some months ago the George Griswold arrived in Liverpool with a cargo of breadstuffs for the the relief of the distressed operatives in the manufacturing districts. After discharging her cargo she proceeded to Cardiff, and their took on board a cargo of coals for Bio. Whilst on her voyage the Georgia overhauled her, but finding that her cargo belonged to British Bubjects, agreed to take a bond for 100,000 dols. This was on the Bth June. The Georgia also captured the ship Hope, bound from Boston to the Cape of Good Hope, together with the G. W. Seaver, bound from Boston for Bio. The latter vessel was released upon giving bonds for 15,000 dols. The following vessels have been captured and burnt by the Alabama : — The ship Amazonian, bound from New York to Monte Video, was burnt on the 2nd June ; and the Jahez Snow, bound from Liverpool for Monte Video, was burnt on the 29th of May. The crews of these vessels were landed at Monto Video. Captain Ginn, of the Jabez Snow, in a. letter dated Bio de Janiero, June 17th, says : — "The capture took place on the 29th May, in lat about 40.30 S, and long, about 34 W. After plundering the ship of everything that excited their cupidity, the omceri and crew of the Alabama set fire to her. I was e. prisoner on board ths Alabama six days, when I was paroled, and sent on board a brig bound from London for Bio, where we arrived on the 18th. I have lost everything but one trunk tilled with clothes. When the ship with her sails and rigging was enveloped in flames, presenting a sublime spectacle, I stood in the midst of the officers, on the quarter deck, where 1 could witness the expression of every feeling elicited by the scene. The only man that exhibited any feelings of latisfaction was Seinmes. He regretted that he had not an artist to portray the scene in all its beauty. The families of many of the cvew are receiving half monthly orders, paid by Frazer, Trenholm, and Co in Liverpool" — European Times
