PROSPECTUS OF THE LONDON WINE COMPANY, No. HI, Fleet.street, COMMENCED YESTERDAY, the 29th NOVEMBER. UPON the atitioueement of an Undertaking s of no ordinary maguitatle, the Proprietors feel it proper to sobilit to the consideration of the Public the fel lowing view of its objects and areasgernents. The LONDON WINE COMPANY, after Isaviog occu pied the greater part of the present year ins building mod finieg.up appropriate Premium take knee to sasounee their iuteirtiou of commencing Business on the 29th instant. These Premises are situated is the extensive Court, the es. trance of which is by the Gateway, 141, FLEET-STREET; and comprehending the whale of the inner Court, ere formed upon a scale fidlredequate to the trausactios of business of the utmost magnitude. The Cellars, which are pore • hotly dry and arsciiine, arc at present stocked, and will always ;eaten) flan 10,000 to 40.000 domes of the choicest Wham of every clam and country. - Bet although litigators*y feel it ',estuary thus to toe form with*, usual um& of giving publicity to the salmi ihrit midi& of their Batabliiiiiment, they would rather invite diesel soil personal examination of its merits, as they aim at amoebae preference than that which they rosy be really foiled to deserve; Dad hnviag taken the utmost care to be fornialted ditli nose but genuine Wipes, of the best &veer and trustily, theyeffer that itivitatios with peculiar g oo g. &see. As they eanoot, however calculate upon enteral attention to any Invitation or address on mere anonymous authority. especially after the frequent delusions to which the Publichave been subjected, the Company think it peeper to declare, that with them originated, and by them is at pre sent eissiloctert, the LONDON GENUINE TEA COM PANY, 23, LUDGATE.HILL, with all its extensive rand fiestioss. The success of this Company is confessedly without panne, in• she annals of trade. For although it commenced business se late cm 1818. it is at present, not withstanding the importance aml respectability of its com petitors, at the bead of the Tea Trade. Its utility is indeed admitted, and its establishment complete. To those, then, who, during the existence of that Com paay,bove thought proper to honour it with their petronige, the Proprietors feel assured that (bey may refer upon this occasion for the superior character of their wadies, sad the connisteist rectitude of their &aline; mad resolving to make ,Ikettlinse, pygmies the rule of their conduct is their sew they cutout doubt of success. Missible felt the good effect of that system, it 'l~taeof the duty which they owe to the see, the duty which they owe to themselves, liellirites interest by any departure from its priseitilaveg.triely itelaaation of its character.

The lamentable practice of adulterating Wines, boa, sm. fortuaalety, goer to a most alarming excess of late years; and to the very considerably segmented importation of what are teemed Ceps Wiwi, that adolteratios is principally to be attributed. The facilities, indeed, which these Wines, both red sad white, afford to the adepts in sects reprehensi ble practices, are become so very glaring, while the quality of those Wises is so notoriously bad, that the London Wino Compary have determined at the outset that on an EAST INDIA MOUS*, Novsmssa 14, 11121.

The following are extracts :- -a' Respecting the cause of Carity. the Com mittee hope it hay beets greatly benefited by the immine ntly afforded to the Subscribers of drat ieguiehieg the appalls of positive intel 'ermine misery front artful and fallacious tales of distress. The fact is indeed established, that daring the course of many years, gross impositions have been re gularly sad systematically practised ow the Nubility sad Gentry of this Country by Persons whose only trails is, beg ging by letter ; and it is lamentable to reflect how coutidarii ble have het. the sums lbws obtained ; bow the easy ercdn lity of benevolence has served the purposes of deep-laid fraud : how the money intended to lessen the sum of bums. calamity has, by its hasty or improvident appropriation, gone to the cocouragemeat of imposture, idleness, sad pro fligacy. The Co, imitice have a list of six hundred worth less individuals who, in this manner, are in the practice of committing their depredations on the Public, and it is • sink* fact, that of the Begging Letter Cases, investigated by pouf Committee, there is, on as average, only ewe oat of tiro which they have reported deserving enmities. In • few iustaisces, the noribleesuess of the applicants was soon ascertained, but is general not without repeated and trammeled visits, • variety In the mode of examination, di ligent inquiry, mad 'min some cireomatanees which, in the Progreso of the iavestsgation, bad coma to the Visitor's know. ledge.

His Excellency the Lord Lientetiaat. we under stand, intends to be at the Castle on Wednesday, at one o'clock, and every dry after. at the same hour, in order to receive such ueroono as may have public business to transact.—(Coure Paper.) STATE OF THE COUNTRY. It is with deep regret we communicate to our reader. the accounts we hare received from the country since our last publication. We shall begin with the COUNTY OF KERRY. On the night of Thursday lest, Majo► Collis was brutally murdered in his bed, by a gang of ruffians, who broke into his house, at Tralee Spa. within less than two miles of the town of Tralee. Seven persons entered the house, but the number who ac tually committed the murder was titter. The Ma jor's skull was fractured by a stroke of an iron bar, and six balls are said to have entered his body. He died in great agony. The house was robbed of money, and property of various descriptions to a large amount. Major Collis was a most amiable and excellent gentleman. He had never given offence, or done injury to any individual. He had been long in the army, bad lost an arm in the service of his country, and was in his SEVIINTILTH year. He wss a native of the county of Kerry, and when lie retired from a military life, he returned to his original place of residence, where he lived during many years, ex pending his property and his half-pay, and diapens. log acts of kindness and hemsuity to all around him. He was • Magistrate of the county Kerry. It was understood that he kept a large sum of ready money constantly in his possession. The neighbourhood in which he resided was very thickly inhabited, several gentlemen living within reach of a musket shot of Ins house. A very active wink of the murderers was commenced on Friday. but, we believe, unfortunately, it has not yet been at tended with any success. Gain appears to have been the object of the wretches who committed this atrocious deed. We have not heard that they took away any urns, and the character of the deceased seems to negative the ids► of any motive of revenge or personal hostility to bin,. Another account of the transaction is given thus: "The ruffians had entered the room in which the gentleman lay, before lie had time to leave his bed. and some of them then told him that if he would not stir, he should not be molested. The spirit of the gentleman, who had been a veteran officer of the King's army, and who had lost an arm in the service, rejected such a compromise, and he i•- stantly sprung from his bed, seized a poker, and struck at one of the gang. Immediately the rest of the ruffle'', attacked the unfortunate Gentle ' man, and tine of them having Mock him with the butt-end of a gun, killed him with the blow. It is said that there were about 2001. in silver in the house at the time, and that the murde►ers carried the whole sum with them, being u kind of booty which would not. like bank -notes, afford ■ny clue for the detection of the perpetrators of the horrid crime." The following is an extract from The Limerick Chronicle:— " On Thursday night, the house of Major Collis, within a mile and a half of 'Nike, was entered by a large party, and robbed of every article which the villains could lay hands on. Not content. the mur derous gang struck Major Collis a blow of a gun on the head, which deprived him of life, and afterwards fired some shots into his body !" COUNTY TIPPERARY. An official account of the Inquest on the remains of the miserable suf f erers at Shea's farm, in the county Tipperary, with the . depositions taken be fore the Co►oner, has been received. The antialsuf crime can scarcely parallel the atrocity which led to this inquest—the records of judicial proceedings do not contain any thing more vague or unsatisfac tory than those deposition', as they are reported. The scanty information which is given would seem to suggest some questions of great importance, but we have at present no means of ascertaining whether any such questions were put to the witnetiats or not. We wait anxiously for accounts of the proceedings of the Magistrates, who appear to be engaged in in vestigating the affair. It was reported in this City last night, that some persons have been taken into custody on charges connected with this outrage, and that there is a prospect of obtaining useful information from them. We shall be glad to find these rumours confirmed. The Lord Lieutenant and Council have issued a proclamation, in which, after u recital of the out rage, the following reward is offered : "Nov we, the Loud Lieutenant and Council of Ireland, bring determined as far as in us lies to bring the perilous con rernctl In the said must batharotio sod most ininiman outrage to speedy and condign punishment, do hereby offer a Reward of TWO THOUSAND POUNDS.

' [From the Closeout Aaverfiser, of Saturday November 24.)

The whole inhabi tants of it houve, sixteen persons, male and female (one of the latter, Mr.. Shea, in the most advanced state of pregnancy) burnt alive—of whom not one escaped to tell the mournful tale ! in order to ef. feet their diabolical purpose, it is probable the monsters Set fire to the thatch in several places at once, and that the inmate., taken by surprise, hi ►ushing towards the door, crested a fatal confusion which retarded their progress till the roof fell M. and overwhelmed them—for the remains of eleven or twelve of them were fouod near to the door, iii. side—the master of the house was one of these ; he was distinguished by being lame of a leg, and having lost a tooth in the front of his mouths lie was found reclining, with part of his bowels pro truded from the belly, where many suppose a ball to have entered; and near one of his hawk' lay the barrel of a blunderbuss he was supposed to have been carrying. Close by him and by the door lay a man with the key of the door in one hand, and a goo barrel near the other. It was a most unfortunate circumstance there was but one door to the house, or some of the peo ple might have escaped; sod that they seemed ill depend upon their arms and their strength in a thatched building. It is mentioned they had feu stand of arms within—this is very probable, as We- saw the barrel of a large iron bluoidet•bum, the bar. tel of a fowling piece, five shorter gun barrel., one pistol barrel, and three locks of arms carried away from the ruins by the Police stationed at Fethard. From the position in which Mr. Edmond Shea, (die proprietor of the house) was found, as above related, it was supposed lie was in the act of draw ing the bolt from the door when lie met his death. A child about two years old was found placed in a pail of water, where it remained untouched bout the fire, save only what floated above water. At each side of the door there was a hop hole for small arms, about three inches in diameter, which commanded the entrance; these, however, did not appear to have been used, as the glass re. manned entire in one of them ou Wednesday, and the other was little broken. It does not appear that Williams or Dillon above mentioned saw any of the monsters engaged in this havoc, as they came in the direction of the smoke; but we understand that six men were seen about the fire, by persona observing from twat three quarters of a milt distant ; and it is also mention., elf, that so late as eight lock in the morning, ■ fellow reinaincel vleeping in the straw iu the hag gore!, adjoiiiiiig the scene of the conflagration, rose up, and ran off, tieing observed by souse yeomen who came to view the ruins.
