SINGLE WOMEN and WIDOWS of good health and
character, from 15 to 30 years of age, desirous of bettering their
condition by emigrating to that healthy and highly prosperous
Colony, where the number of females compared with the entire
population is about one to three, and where, consequently btr.l
the groat demand for Servants andtther Female Empluriskaits;
the wages are comparatively high, may obtain a passage by this
Ship on PAYMENT of £5 ONLY, as they will have the ad-
vantage of the Free Grant of £l2 each from Government,
which grant during the present year, will be confined to those
Females sent out by this Committee, and will cease after this
ship is despatched.
The Females who proceed by this conveyance will be taken
care of ou their first landing at Sydney; they will find there a
list of the various situations to be obtained, and of the wages
offered, and will be perfectly free to make their own election;
they will not be bound to any person, nor subjected to any re-
straint, but will be, to all intents and purposes, perfectly free to
act and decide for themselves.
Femalds in the country who may desire to avail themselves
of the important advantages thus offered them, should apply by
letter to "The Emigration Committee, London," under cover
addressed to "THE UNDER-SECRETARY OF STATE,
COLONIAL DEPARTMENT, LONDON." It will be ne-
cessary that the application be accompanied by v certificate of
character from the resident minister of the parish, or from some
other respectable persons to whom the applicant nay be known;
but the certificate of the resident thisrister is inall cases most
desirable • it must also certify the ab' ity of the party to pay £5
to the order of the Committee, so son as she shall be informed
that she is admitted by them as passenger, and which sum
when paid here will cover all th expenses of the passage for
which she will be liable. Such Females as may find it desirable
may, when approved by the Committee as fit persons to go by
thie conveyance, be boarded temporarily in London prior to
embarkation, on payment of 7s. per week.
All applications made in the foregoing manner, will receive
early answers, and persons residing in or near London may ob-
tain all necessary information by applying to

Nom—During the despatch of the " Bussorah Merchant,"
many females of irreproachable character, and several families
with a large proportion of females, made application to the
committee, but were unable to raise even the small sum required,
to proceed to Australia • many of these cases were on that occa-
sion met by one benevolent individual, who subscribed largely,
but as this resource cannot be apin expected, the Committee
have requested their Treasuier, Edward Forster, Esq., banker,
11, Mansion-house-street, London, to receive the Contributions
of the benevolent, which shall be faithfully applied in aid of such
cases, and the particulars hereafter reported.
