EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA.
THE FINE FIRST CLASS SHIP, CITY
OF EDINBURGH, of 500 tons, Valentine Ryan, Com-
mander; will sail from Gravesend on the 2nd, 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 en-
tire 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
Agriculturists 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 Mar-
shall, Australian Emigration Agent, 26, Birchin-lane, Cornhill.
N.B. Capt. Ryan made his passage last year, from Portsmouth
to Sydney, in 100 days.

DEAF PERSONS experience many privations
for want of a convenient and suitable acoustic avaratus for
conveying sound; but THE HEARING CORNETS lately in-
troduced by DR. SCOTT being universally sought after, it ap-
pears that the want, so long felt and complained of, is now happily
supplied. These Cornets retain their position upon the ear with-
out any aid—may be shpt on and off in an instant, and for assist-
ing the hearing at places of worship, theatres, public meetings,
courts of law, offices, counting-houses, or other places of business,
and for conveying conversation in general, have been found truly
desirable. Supplied only by Scott, Savory and Co., 369, Strand.
