Warranted to be the strongest and fastest Ship in the trade,

The unqualified success that has hitherto characterised this
noble Clipper was fully verified in her last voyage to Melbourne,
which was accomplished in Seventy-two Days, notwithstanding
adverse winds prevailed nearly the whole of the passage. Her
Saloons, Cabins, and Passenger Accommodation throughout, are
unsurpassed for elegance and comfort by any Ship afloat; there-
fore it becomes a pleasure to the undersigned to invite the Public
to pay her a visit and judge for themselves. She is only taking a
small number of Passengers, and twice as much space will be
allowed in the cabins to each adult as that given in any other ship
now on the berth. Her talented Commander, Captain JOHNSON,
is entitled to the highest commendation for the gentlemanly cour-
tesy and kindness which he always evinces towards his Passen-
gers, and for which he is so eminently distinguished. A fully
qualified Surgeon will be taken, and the whole of her arrange-
ments coqducted under the sanction of Captain Schomberg, the
Government Emigration Commissioner.
For engaging Freight, application must be made to S. WRIGHT
KELSO, and Co., Commercial-buildings.
