ship Northern Light
Arrived from Liverpool on the 7th of April bringing to the Colony 445 souls. She was commanded by Mr. Henry W. Plain and Mr. John T. S. Jolly was the surgeon-superintendent, this being his fourth voyage. It gives me pleasure to say that he performed his duties very efficiently. The immigrants, with the exception of some of the single women, seemed to me a well selected class of persons.
