They left their native place about six weeks ago in a ship for Cape Breton, along with a number of settlers for that island. They all seem to be in high health and, judging from appearances, in easy circumstances. With prudent foresight characteristic of their race, they came provided with 12 months’ provisions and an ample stock of warm clothing. They all have relatives already settled in the Island, chiefly about Belfast, and, with the exception of one family, it is, we understand, their intention also to locate in that thriving settlement.”
