AUSTRALIA. THE EMIGRANTS' ADVICE AND PROTECTION COMPANY. CH I E F OFFICES-LEICESTER-BUILDINGS, 37, KING-STREET, LIVERPOOL. PATRONS AND SUPPORTERS: THE MERCHANTS AND SHIPOWNERS OF LIVERPOOL. Liverpool being now the first port of embarka tion in the world, it has been thought advisable to 44,A\ establish a company for the express purpose of giv ra„‘,l ing the intending emigrant to the British Colonies in _,---r..— Australia and Canada, and to the United States of America (but more especially to ustralia), such gratuitous in formation as is requisite to obtain a cheap and agreeable voyage, and to promote his safety and success on his arrival. To this end a regular register will be kept at the Company's Offices of all Emigrant Ships of character leaving Liverpool, to gether with the correct time of sailing, the scale of charge, &c., and the latest time for the emigrant leaving his home. Another register will contain a list of respectable hotels and lodging-houses, with their scale of charges, and the addresses of tradesmen from whom the emigrant may obtain his outfit of ne cessary articles at moderate prices. As none but ships, hotels, and tradesmen of undoubted cha racter can obtain an entry on the Company's Register, it is con fidently and earnestly hoped that the emigrant will firmly with stand every attempt through other means to induce him to engage his passage, or pay a deposit, before his arrival at the Company's Offices in Liverpool, where he is certain to gain that knowledge, free of charge, which will effectually shield him against the impo sitions to which he is unavoidably exposed. Emigrants should give the company a week's notice at least of the time of their departure for Liverpool, and their mode of tra velling, when its servants will be in attendance to receive them and their luggage. As the company is supported by its patrons, no servant is al lowed to receive fees of any kind on pain of dismissal. Attenlance at the Chief Offices, Liverpool, from Ten to Five daily. All applications attended to gratuitously. Letters per post, with postage stamp enclosed, must be addressed to **The Secretary of the Emigrants' Advice and Protection Company, Liverpool." W.
