FEMALES PER BUSSORAH MERCHANT.
A very interesting scene has been passing within our own review for these last few days, since the landing of the free women arrived per Bussorah Merchant, and their being placed in their new quarters, the place formerly occupied by Government as the Lumber-yard. We are assured that this importation is very far superior in every respect to any importation of females of similar class heretofore arrived amongst us, and are happy to say this assurance is confirmed by the great demand that has been made by the respectable families of our community for the services of these young women, as in the first three days about 180 out of the 215 were engaged, and proceeded to their respective situations, which, we hope, will prove comfortable to these friendless females now domiciled among us, and whom Providence, in its wisdom, has separated from friends and connexions dear to them during the sojourn in this life, as it is unlikely very few of them will ever visit their native land again.
