EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA

A FINE first-class SHIP, of 500 Tons burthen, with a Poop and very superior accommodations or Cabin, Intermediate, and Steerage Passengers, will be dispatched in APRIL next, from the RIVER THAMES, direct for SYDNEY, touching at PLYMOUTH, to embark passengers. A very extensive demand exists in this Colony for married Mechanics, particularly Carpenters, Joiners,
Stone-masons, Stone-cutters, Bricklayers, Plasterer's, Blacksmiths, Wheelwrights, Glaziers, and others; also for Agricultural Servants, Shepherds (especially people well acquainted with stock) and Gardeners. Such Persons, provided they are of steady character, and not exceeding 30 years of age, may, with their families, obtain a passage by this conveyance at a very small cost to themselves. Numerous parties have already engaged to proceed in this Ship; she will carry an experienced Surgeon, and all possible care will be exercised to secure the comfort of the Passengers on the Voyage.

All particulars may be known, on application to Mr. JOHN MARSHALL (if by letter, post-paid) Australian Emigration Agent, 20, Burchin-Lane, Cornhill, London.
