London, June 7. On Thursday, 200 girls and young women left Plymouth for Sydney in New South Wales on the Royal George. They are transferred free of charge under the supervision of the Australian Land and Emigration Commission, by which they have been selected at various places in Ireland. The greatest need for servants and the disproportion of the sexes in the colonies have been discussed for a long time and have finally given rise to this measure. Half a dozen dignified matrons are charged with the care of this rare cargo. – Soon, the ship Oriental, chartered by the emigration committee with 200 emigrants, will also set sail for the Cape of Good Hope.

| Transcription | ENGELAND. Londen, 7 juni. Jl. Donderdag verrok een gezelschap van 200 meisjes en jongevrouwen met the Royal George van Plymouth naar Sydney in Nieuw-Wallis. Zij worden kosteloos overgevoerd, onder toezigt der Australische land- en emigratie-commissie, door wie zij op verschillende plaatsen van Ierland zijn uitgekozen. De grootste behoefte aan dienstboden en de onevenredigheid der seksen in die koloniën zijn langen tijd het onderwerp van beschouwingen geweest en hebben thans eindelijk tot dezen maatregel aanleiding gegeven. Een half dozijn deftige matronen is belast met de zorg voor deze zeldzame vracht. – Spoedig gaat ook het schip Oriental, door de commissie voor de emigratie bevracht met 200 landverhuizers, naar de Kaap de Goede Hoop onder zeil. |
