The Packet of the 20th July, carrying the Mails of that date
will be the splendid Clipper-ship
SHALIMAR,

1,405 tons register, 3,500 tons burthen, Captain A. ROBERTSON.
This magnificent ship is just off her first voyage to the Colo-
nies ; on the passage out and home she far exceeded the expecta-
tions formed of her sailing qualities. She made the run from
the Mersey to Cape Northumberland, within a day's sail of Hob.
son's Bay, in the remarkably short space of 67 days, under rather
unfavourable circumstances ; she attained, however, the high
'speed of 420 nautical miles in one day. The entire voyage was
made in 6 months and 14 days, including detention of 43 clays
abroad. All her passengers were landed in perfect health ; and
a testimonial was presented to Captain Robertson for his
urbanity and attention during the passage.
The SHALIMAR will be refitted, and whatever experience has
suggested as desirable to promote the c•imfort of the Emigrants
in the voyage will be introduced. The ventilation in this ship is
essentially perfect, an element in the fitting-up of a passenger-
-ship wain cannot be too highly appreciated.
.Carry Surgeons and Chaplains, also an extensive Library.

THE MERCHANTS AND SHIPOWNERS OF LIVERPOOL.

Liverpool being now the first port of embarka-
tion in the world, it has been thought advisable to
4411. establish a company for the express purpose of giv-
j ing the intending emigrant to the British Colonies in
Australia and Canada, and to the United States of
ei:icaa (but more especially to stralia), 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.
Attendance at the Chief Offices, Liverpool, from Ten to Five
daily. Ali 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. WHITEHOUSE, Secretary.
