FREE EMIGRATION
TO
PORT ADELAIDE,
South Australia

 An opportunity now offers itself to all MARRIED persons, of useful occupations, particularly to AGRICULTURAL LABOURERS, CARPENTERS, BUILDERS, STONEMASONS, SHEPARDS, and BLACKSMITHS, of obtaining a
FREE PASSAGE
TO
PORT ADELAIDE,
IN
South Australia,

            FREE COLONY, where there are no convicts sent, and where every person who emigrates is a free as he is in this country. Besides the classes of persons enumerated above, Bakers, Blacksmiths, Braziers and Tinmen, Smiths, Shipwrights, Boat Builders, Wheelwrights, Sawyers, Cabinet Makers, Coopers, Curriers, Farriers, Millwrights, Harness Makers, Boot and Shoemakers, Tailors, Tanners, Brickmakers, Lime Burners, and all persons engaged in the erection of buildings are always in great request. The applicants must be able to obtain a good character as honest, sober and industrious men. They must be real labourers going out to work in the Colony, of good mind and body, not less than 15 nor more than 30 years of age and married. The rule as to age is occasionally departed from in favour of the parents of large families. As a general rule, each child is considered as extending the age one year. The sisters of married applicants are allowed to go free, if of good character.
            The province of South Australia is a delightfully fertile and salubrious country, in every respect well adapted to the constitution of Englishmen, and is one of the most flourishing of all our colonies. It is well watered,–and there have never been any complaints from the colonists of a want of this valuable element; on the contrary, the letters from Cornishmen who have written home are very satisfactory on this point. It should be borne in mind that complaints of a scarcity of water do not relate to Port Adelaide, but to other settlements not connected with South Australia.
            Emigrants wishing to obtain a free passage this year may now have that opportunity if they apply IMMEDIATELY to

Mr. I. LATIMER, Truro,
who is empowered by her Majesty’s Colonization Commisioners to engage for that fine first-class teak-built ship the
JAVA, of 1200 Tons.

This ship’s accommodations are unusually spacious and lofty, and are so arranged as to insure the comfit of all the passengers. She will carry two surgeons, and two Schoolmasters, the latter of whom will be regularly employed in teaching the emigrants and their children. The vessel will call at PLYMOUTH, to take in Cornish passengers, on our about the 16th of OCTOBER; but in order to ensure a passage, applications should be made forthwith. Every kind of informative, and the necessary papers may be obtained of Mr Latimer.

E. HEARD, PRINTER, BOOKBINDER, &c., BOSCAWEN-STREET, TRURO.
