The Travancore, from London.
The Travancore, from Plymouth on the 1st October, arrived on Thursday evening. She has on board 220 immigrants, of whom 115 are unmarried females. The latter are chiefly, if not entirely, natives of Ireland. By her has arrived the Rev. Mr. Barry, who will be stationed at Fremantle, and not at the Vasse, as we had imagined. The Rev. gentleman, who officiated as religious instructor during the passage out gives a very excellent character of the immigrants, as does also the Surgeon Superintendent. Mr. Barry is an Irishman, and was a minister of the gospel in Liverpool before he accepted his present appointment. Mr. Parnell, the Crown Solicitor, was a passenger by the Travancore, but died during the passage. He was in ill health when he left England. Mr. Stockley, we have been informed, was seriously ill at the time of the departure of the Tavancore.Inquirer (Perth, WA : 1840 - 1855), Wednesday 19 January 1853, page 2

Local.

The female immigrants per Travancore are going off very fairly. Two crafts have reached Perth, one of forty-five, and another of forty, and the first detachment have been nearly all engaged. They are a strong healthy lot of girls, well fitted for farm-house work, to which the greater part have been used; but few of them having been previously employed in the town.[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/65484601?searchTerm=Travancore Inquirer (Perth, WA : 1840 - 1855) Wed 26 January 1853 TROVE Local.]
