"The Alfred from Hamburg and Plymouth"
This German Passenger ship arrived yesterday, from Hamburg (27 October) and Plymouth (3rd November) with its passengers, in 88 days, being the shortest passage yet performed by a German ship to this port. Only one death, an infant, occurred on the voyage. This fine ship had brought to our shores, incognito, the first real live Prince, in the person of His Highness Prince Frederick of Holstein, (cousin of Her Majesty, Queen Victoria). We understand His Highness is not likely to "sit down" in our Upper House of Hereditary legislators, as he intends to make it to four of these Colonies. His Highness Prince Frederick of Holstein attended by Captain Stanley Carr, had an audience, on the morning of February 1st with his Excellence Henry Young.

then this the next day. ... Passengers per ship Alfred, arrival reported yestyerday, Captain Stanley Carr ; Lieutenant de Gronwald (the traveling name of the Prince Frederick of Holstein) & Messrs.
