Brig "Phesdo"

FIRST SPRING VESSEL

FOR

HALIFAX and St. JOHN'S, NEW BRUNSWICK.

THAT Fine Brig the PHESDO 244 Tons register, ANDREW PENNAN, Master, will be ready to receive on board goods for either of these ports, by the latter end of January, and will sail early in March.

The superior accommodation for passengers in this vessel (only her second voyage) and the care and attention of the master, is such as are seldom to be met with; and shippers of goods cannot have a better opportunity.  As a considerable part of her cargo is engaged, the time of sailing may be depended upon.

For freight or passage, apply to

ALEX. DUTHIE, Junr.
