Female Emigrants

The Palambam has reached our shores in safety with per precious consignment,
from which we anticipate the greatest benefits to the country; and hope to see
the experiment repeated on a much larger scale hereafter. The fifty-three
females are to be given out to respectable families, under certain restrictions,
mutually beneficial to master and servant. There is abundance of room for large
importations of free female emigrants, without deteriorating the value of out
currency lasses; and we are sure if government and the masters agree ot it, all
the present individuals will be comfortably settled in life, before the
expiration of one year. It will be a matter of serious disappointment, if the
persons to whom these young females are entrusted, do not exercise a paternal
care over their morals. They are strangers and friendless in other respects. The
Government, we have no doubt, will require positive assurances to this effect,
before they are given out to service; and it is a decisive proof of the friendly
feelings of His Excellency the Governor in favour of the measure, that previous
to their arrival the necessary steps and precautions have been taken to secure
good masters and respectable situations for each.
