the La Rochelle arrived in Brisbane from Hamburg on 7th August 1863. The following was in the Brisbane Courier on the Monday afterwards: The German ship La Rochelle, 827 tons, arrived in Brisbane roads on Friday, the 7th instant, after a very excellent run of 81 days from Hamburg, she having sailed from that place on the 17th of May last. She is under the command of Captain E. Junge, who, we may mention, was her master on her previous visit to this port. On this occasion she brings 444 German immigrants to our shores. They are under the medical charge of Dr. Geiger. On board this vessel, as on board the Alster, there has been but little sickness during the passage, and no contagious or infectious disease. There were six deaths, all of infants, who died of maladies incidental to childhood. Three of the deaths were from convulsions, two from atrophy, or wasting away, and one from consumption. There were no births. In the saloon there is only one passenger - Mrs. Amelie Dietrich. La Rochelle brings 40 rams, of the celebrated Negretti breed, consigned to Mr. Tam, of South Brisbane, and 2500 fire-bricks as ballast. Mr. T. C. Heussler is the Brisbane agent for both the Alster and La Rochelle. Dr. Hobbs, the health officer, visited and inspected the above vessels on Saturday last, and as he found all the passengers in a perfectly healthy state, he passed the ships with clean bills of health. The immigrants will therefore be brought up to town as soon as arrangements can be made for their conveyance to Brisbane.
