J. JOHNSON. Commander.
This celebrated strong clippc r ship has accomplished several
of the shortest passages ever recorded in naval history ; and
being fitted in the most superb manner possible with a view
to the attainment of comfort and thorough ventilation,
together with a most excellent scale of diet, will be found
one of the best ships ever despatched to the Australian colo-
nies; every possible means will be taken to give the voyage
more the character of a pleasure trip than otherwise. She
will carry chess, draught, and backgammon boards, as well
as a full band of music. State-rooms for married families,
single ladies and single gentlemen, as the case may be, can
be fitted to suit their own taste, without any extra charge,
provided a few days' notice is given. The spacious promenade
deck, which is free from every obstruction, will be found one
of the most desirable features in the ship's excellence as a
passenger conveyance. The captain is a gentleman of the
highest talent and experience, and has ever been distinguished
for his generous devotion to the welfare of his passengers. A.
fully qualified Surgeon will be taken, and the entire arrange-
ment conducted under the inspection of Her Majesty's
Emigration Officer.—Passages secured and other information
-obtained on application to '
HENRY THOMAS and CO., 44, Dale-street, Liverpool.

The Undersigned are thankful to state that, although their
Line, since its establishment, has conveyed more Passengers
to Australia than any other in the Kingdom, no Ship be-
longing to it has ever put back or met with any
accident, by which any loss of life has occurred, notwith-
standing their Ships have made the most remarkable
passages on record, viz.: Marco Polo, first voyage, left Li-
verpool for Melbourne 4th July 1852, arrived hack 26th
December, 1852 ; voyage, including detention abroad, 5
months and 21 days. Second voyage, left Liverpool 13th
