| The following passenger list was found based on an item in the West Briton newspaper: "EMIGRATION TO AMERICA. � Direct from PENZANCE to NEW YORK, the fine A.E.I., fast sailing ship "MOUNTAINEER", 900 Tons Burthen, C.H. CAREY, Commander, will, weather permitting, sail from Penzance on the 30th March next. The "Mountaineer" has very superior accommodations for both cabin and steerage passengers, her between decks are remarkably lofty, being seven fee high; every precaution will be taken to promote the health and comfort of the passengers, by regularly fumigating the ship during the voyage, and find them with provisions at the ship's expense, until the arrival of the vessel at New York. The Captain is well experienced in the trade, and the passengers having expressed by letters published in the Cornish papers, of this month, their entire confidence in the Master, with thanks for his kind attention, will afford an excellent opportunity for passengers to any part of the United States. The Owner will give letters to Farmers and Mechanics to parties in Michigan and Utica who can put them in the way of procuring employment; and to those desirous of settling on lands, how to manage for farms to the best advantage. To Miners also, this affords a favourable opportunity, and the owner being acquainted with some of the proprietors of mines, letters of recommendation will be given to passengers who can produce satisfactory testimonials of character, &c As the "Mountaineer" will only take a limited number of passengers, an early application should be made to W.C. HEMMINGS, Penzance; Thomas CORFIELD, Penryn; William BROWNE, St Austell,L NEWTON, jun., Camborne; and at the Office Roseworthy. � Dated January 28, 1850." |
