FEMALE EMIGRATION SOCIETY.—This most useful
society, which has prospered so well under the auspici a of
Mr. and Mrs. Sydney Herbert and their benevolent coad-
jutors in the teak of rescuing deserving young females from
destitution and ruin, despatched yesterday 3.5 young women
to Melbourne. in the fine ship Blackwell, one of the best
vessels and (west sailers in Mr. Green's unrivalled fleet.
The society was in this Instance particularly fortunate in its
choice of a vessel, the Blackwell having already established
her character by more than one rapid passage, and bacons.
mender, Captain M'Curdy, being well known as one of the
most experienced navigators in the line. The society is
deeply indebted to Mr. Green, not only fur the promptitude
with which he pliers his finest vessels at their service, but
for his liberal donations in furtherance of the objects of the
institution. The young women, whose generally superior
appearance denoted the widening of the sphere in which
the society is becoming useful, were mustered in the usual
manner at Blackwell, under the superintendence of Mr.
Haley, the secretary, the matron, Bev. Messrs. Jackson
and Oueekett. Mr. and Mrs. Wilbraham Tayl..r, the
Hon. Mrs. A. Ktnnaird and several members of the tins-
mittee, and proceeded in a river strainer to Gravesend,
where the Blackwell lay all ready for sea, with upwards of
100 passengers, all of the most re spoilable description, on
board. A large apartment, immediately under the main
hatchway, hail been partitioned off, and every comfort pro-
vided fee the long voyage the poor girls were about to under-
take. Their names were all called over, and more than one
case of peculiar interest was pointed out as they passed over
the vessel in answer to their names. Two modest looking
girls had been rescued from a drunaen and profligate
mother, and another was going out to join one of a far dif-
ferent description. One young girl had been in business in
London, and was taking out her little stock with an under-
taking to repay her passage money on its realisation in
Melbourne. All looked healthy and cheerful, and full of
hope aa to their future prospects. A few words of encou-
ragement and advice were addressed to them by Mr. Taylor,
who also read a most affectionate and kind letter from Mrs.
S. Herbert; sod the Rev. Mr. Jackson followed in an im-
pressive exhortation. which was all the more valuable as
the reverend gentleman could speak from personal nape-
rience of the vicissitudes of the long voyage. The visitors
then adjourned to the principal cabin, where the ho,pitality
of Mr. Omen had provided an elegant luncheon, ana some
appropriate Manta were drui.k, after which the company re-
turned to town.
