I request you will insert my Name for hares in . this Company, and I hereby undertake to pay the Deposit whew tit imired so to do. Dated this January. 1824. ASETROPOLITAN INVESTMENT SOCIETY, 1.11.1 for the SECURE and PERMANENT EMPLOY ' 3IENT of CAPITAL, and for PROCURING A HIGH RATE of ANNUAL INTEREST. In the vicissitudes of war and peace, which this country has ex perienced within the last forty years, all classes of the people have in their turn b en gainers and sufferers. Amid these vicissitudes, however, the increase of the capital of the cominurity, taken together, has, from time to time, exceeded all calculation. Of this tact the most striking example is to be found in the vast sums that were annually contributed by the peo ple to the exigencies of the country in the last war—sums of money which exceeded the most sanguine expectations of every statesman. For instance, the gross receipts of the Exchequer in 1811, from loans and taxes, were ninety-nine millions sterling ; in 1812, one hundred aid live millions; in 1813, one hundred and thirteen mil lions; in 1814, one hundred and thirty-four millions; and in 1815, one hundred and thirty-one millions. Since the war terminated, public works of great importance have been executed by means of the money of private individuals, and more than eighty millions sterling have been lent to foreign countries. 't he various under takings now before the public will also absorb much capital. But political arithmeticians have estimated the incomes of the British people at between four and five hundred millions per annum ; and, to truth, it actually appears, that, notwithstanding the supplies of capital which have, since the termination of the war, been devoted to various objects of investment, such is the existing superabundance of capital, that the rate of interest in the money market of London has fallen to about three per cent. per annum. It is also the declared intention of his Majesty's Government to reduce to three per cents. all the public stocks of a higher deno. mination; and even the three per cents. are threatened to be re duced to two and a half per cents. The peace of Europe being settled into a repose of apparent permanency, it may well be expected that the small capitalists will become a suffering class of individuals. The growth of capital will progressively reduce the incomes of those who depend for sub sistence solely upon the interest of money, and who re-invest their savings to make provision for their families. Any plan, therefore, that may be suggested for the benefit of this class of society is particularly deserving attention. Were the growing capital of the community to be allured from time to time into foreign objects, for want of domestic investments, this would tend to enrich foreign nations, and to impoverish our selves ; but domestic investments assist the distribution and circu lation of money among the British people, for the promotion of their own contort and happiness, as well as for the increase of national power. Among the various projects that have attracted the attention of the public, it does not appear that any of the joint stock compa nies which have recently been formed offer to the shareholders either undeniable and permanent security for their capi:al, or the immediate and regular payment of an adequate annual interest. In many cases the security for the principal is speculative and un certain, and consequently does not constitute a species of property in which prudent persons are willing to embark their capital. It cannot be denied that the freehold and leasehold houses and edifices, building land and ground rents, are classed among our most solid securities. They yield a higher rate of present interest than any other fixed property, and prospectively hold out this ad ditional benefit, that such houses and buildings as are erected on freehold land, let for terms of years, become the property of the ground landlord at the expiration of the lease.. Te!TIIS of years in the affairs of a permanent company are but as days in those of indi viduals; capital, destined to the purchase of such property, pro mises 'both immediate productiveness, and great eventual advan tages. `Pith these views, therefore, it is proposed to establish a society for the following specific objects :- Ist. Undeniable domestic security for the investment of capital, by purchasing freehold and leasehold houses and edifices, ground rents and land, eligible for letting on building leases. 2411 y. A higher rate of half-yearly interest than any other equally solid securities offer. 3411 y. The extension of these advantages to the middling classes of society, by the opportunity offered them of becoming share holders with other capitalists. The capital of the society to be Two Millions, to be divided into 80,000 shares of 251. each. A deposit of 11. per share, to be made as soon as the shares shall be dis tr ibuted, but all further calls are to be made only according to the progress of investment. The affairs of the Society to be managed by 24 Directors, in cluding the Chairman and Deputy Chairman. Five of the Directors to be appointed Trustees. The Director first appointed to remain in office for three years; six Directors then to retire from office annually, and six others to be elected by the Proprietors in their stead ; and no Director to be eligible to be re-elected until he shall have remained out of office one year. In case of vacancy in the Direction, from death or other wise, the same to be filled up within one month after the vacancy is declared. The number of Auditors not to exceed five, and to be elected by the Proprietors from among themselves. The qualification of a Director or Auditor to be 60 shares. The Proprietors, voting on questions affecting the interests of the Society, to have One vote for 5 shares, 1 Three votes for 50 shares, Two votes for IS shares, 1 Four votes for 100 shares. No Proprietor to have more than four votes. The Directors to have the power of appointing to any such offices as they may consider necessary for the purposes of the So ciety, except those offices the direction of which is reserved to the Proprietors. A general meeting of the Proprietors to be held annually. Interest on the amount of the capital advanced by the Pro prietors to be paid half-yearly, at a rate to be, from time to time, fixed by the Court of Directors, not being less than 4 per cent. per annum. _ _ _ A proper deed of settlement to be prepared and approved by the Directors for carrying the objects of the Society into effect, and to be executed by the Proprietors within one month after notice shall be given of being ready for its execution.

" There are sixteen Tales in these Volumes, all of them illus trative of the feelings and manners of a people, it must be confessed, far too little known. We do not observe any undue leaning either to one side or another of those who abuse the ignorance of Ireland. and wickedly labour to keep alive the distractions which tear and rend it. The incidents look as if they were drawn from life; and if we find • furious Protestant in one page doing evil, we in the next observe the pernicious influence of the Catholic Priest. There is therefore much matter worthy of earnest national attention in these fictions, while, at the same time, they are characteristic and amusing. Without agreeing with the writer in all his ide a s, we cannot but highly approve of his Work. Half a dozen of admirable Illustrations, drawn by George Cruikshank, in his best manner, add much to the pleasure with which we have perused these volumes." —Literary Gazette. " In some of these Tales there are descriptive and pathetic pas. sages of great force and beauty; in others, the Author is equally happy in the lively and ludicrous. The Engravings would give a value to the volumes, even were there no literary merit in the Tales themselves."—Ladies' Pocket Magazine. Published by J. Robins and Co. Ivy-lane, Paternoster-row.
