 XI. , &c.-The requisite Mattresses, Bedclothes, Utensils, and a supply of Marine Soap for Washing Clothes during the voyage, will be pro­vided by the Government at the following rates, which sums must be paid by the Emigrants before they can receive their Embarkation Orders, viz.:—

XII. The Emigrants will be divided into classes, and berthed in separate compartments in the ship; 1st, Married Couples, with Children under 12 years; 2nd, Single Women, that is, all unmarried females above 12 years.

The Single Women will be placed under the superintendence of a Matron.

XIII. , &c.—All Luggage should be distinctly marked in paint with the name of the Passenger and the Ship; and boxes containing articles which will be required on the voyage, should have the word "," written conspicuously upon them. The whole quantity of Luggage for each adult, allowed free of charge, is twenty cubic feet measurement, or half a ton in weight; Luggage­ in excess of this quantity will only be taken if there is room for it in the ship, and will be chargeable with freight at a rate not exceeding 6d. per cubic foot. Emigrants will not be allowed to take on board any bedding, furniture, spirits, gunpowder, lucifer or other matches, or any dangerous articles; all the Luggage will be examined at the Depot, and any prohibited articles will be forfeited.

Emigrants 1nust present themselves at the Emigration Depôt on the day named on the Embarkation Order.
