Arrival of G. F. Angas Esq.

The long looked for ship the Ascendant has at length arrived, and we shall now be able to welcome To our shores one whose name is honourably identified with South Australia from its commencement Of its political existence.
Mr. Giles the Manager of the South Australian Company, Mr. John Angas, Mr. Simpson, and Captain Scott, Boarded the Ascendant yesterday below the north arm.
Mrs. Angas accompanied by her sons, arrived in town last evening, Mr. Angas preferred not to leave the vessel when reached the port.
The Steamer will go down this morning, and Mr. Angas may be expected to land about 12 O’clock.
We are disappointed to learn that Mr. Angas is not, as was surmised, the bearer of the official copy of the new act; but Lord Grey has written to him, stating that it was not yet prepared for despatch.

Speaking for ourselves, we should be glad to learn that the colonist intended to demonstrate, by their hospitable reception, now or at some suitable time, their highest esteem, or, we should say, their grateful recollection of Mr. Angas, richly deserved by his early and successful efforts in the formation And the large stake he ventured in it, and his unremitted exertion on behalf of South Australia from the moment it struggled into existent to that when the once-named “land of promise” but now, happily, The land assured realities, spreads it shores to welcome him.
