EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA.
THE fine first-class Ship, CITY OF EDINBURGH, of 500 tons, VALENTINE RYAN, Commander, will sail from Gravesend on the 2d, and from Plymouth on the 15th May, direct for SYDNEY. This ship’s poop and other accommodations are equal to those of a regular Indiaman; her ‘tween decks unusually lofty and well ventilated; and the entire arrangements for the comfort of cabin, intermediate, and steerage passengers cannot fail, on inspection, to give satisfaction. An experienced Surgeon will proceed in her, and the day appointed for sailing will be punctually adhered to. Married Mechanics and Agriculturalists are greatly wanted in this colony; such persons, of good character and not exceeding 30 years of age, may obtain a passage by this ship, at a very small cost to themselves.
All particulars may be known on application to Mr. JOHN MARSHALL, Australian Emigration Agent, 26, Birchin-lane, Cornhill, London.
N.B.Capt. Ryan made his passage last year from Portsmouth to Sydney, in 100 days.
