CAPITAL, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS. In Ten Thousand Shares of Fifty Pounds each. A Company is now forming, to be managed b Directors, for the purpmc of purchasing, or hiring on Lease, BRICK EARTH, 1 and making BRICKS on an extensive kale. It is well known that this branch of Traffic is a very profitable one, even carried on, as at present, in many instances, by persons of slender means ; and it is presumed, therefore, that if a Company be formed, possessing ample Capital, they may pursue it with extra ordinary advantages at this juncture; the demar.d for Bricks being unprecetlentedly great, and progressively increasing as the rage for' private building on all sides of the Metropolis gams ground ; and Is still further augmenting by the supply requisite for the great Public and National Undertakings now in progress. A Company, possessing adequate capital, would always command I a preference in the purchase of their Ground, and must necessarily have numberless advantages that small Establishments cannot , obtain. DROMOTER BENEFIT COMPANY.—To MEDI CAL MEN.—This Institution affords an extensive field for the exercise of Medical Skill, and of true Philanthropy. It Is proposed to appoint Medical Officers for all parts of Lon don, to attend within certain limit.; for instance, a Physician, a &Neon, and an .tpothecary, may be appointed for the District bounded ease by a line wish the Royal Exchange, west by Temple ton., north by Fleet -street, and south by the Thames. Protwors are requested to state their places of residence, the limits within which they propose to attend, and the nature of their qualifications. If of five years' practice in the same neighbour loot!, testimonials of skill will not be indispensable, although From the adoption of *regular and settled system of management, !! they will be less liable to the contingencies of loss than private indi viduals, who have not the benefit of such system, capital, and united talent as are comprised in a Company. Of a numerous body of Members, there will, in all pmbability, be many who are extensively engaged in building speculations who will promote the success of the Company by their own purchases, and encourage Others within the sphere of their influence to do the like. It fs quite clear that if making Bricks be a profitable pursuit to persons who have only limited means, it must prove pre-eminently so to a Company possessing ample Capital, and conducted by the united talent and exertions of twelve judiciously chaien Directors. The Profit on the Capital employed at present in brick making may be estimated to be at least 20 per Cent. and it may be fairly presumed that this will be greatly increased, carried on under the direction of a Company, having all the advantage of property and systematic arrangement. With these views it has been resolved to establish a Company, to be called " The London Brick Company." The Capital to be raised, 600.0001. in 10,411.8 hares of 601. each (by Instalments not to exceed SI. each), mad ace month's notice will be given previous to a call being made. A List of the Directors, Bankers, anti °Ricers of the Company will be published in a few days ; in the mean time applications for Shares may be made to Sir. Charles Kaye, Solicitor, Dyer's buildings, Holborn ; or to Messrs. Edmonds and Wolfe, Change alley, Con hill. After the allotments are made, a deposit of 11. per share will be required, in part of the first Instalment. • PROMOTER BENEFIT COMPANY. In din various projections of Public Institutions, a total egsrf has been shown to a chum of persons whose interests in a commend country would seem entitled to the first consideration— the Buds of Departments, Principal and Subordinate Clerks in Pablic Offices, Banking, and other Establishments. The advantages held out by Government to its officers are the finite of an ewellent system, as a progressive annual rise in salary, ter n few probationary years, and ah honourable superannuation, form strong inducements to good conduct, and a continuance in the some employ. This plan, however, is found to be too confined in fa Operatiun, and would be greatly improved by afliirding the means of obtaining a certain independence, after a given period of orrice. A Public Instqutitn, providing pecuniar y . compensation and medical attendance, by first-rate pro, , visors, during illness, securing d:finite and progressive allowance in aid of salary, and competent riperanaustion, at given periods, annuities for children, and ap pumice fees, or outfits fez professions or other pursuits requiring ctsiderable disbursements, must be highly beneficial, not only to ttle who serve, but also to those to whom service is rendered. To ill former the idea of depending solely on private friendship for insistence, to avail themselves of opportunities for settling their I dridren or on the bounty of employers for support, when incapable of rendering equivalent service, must be painful ; whilst the true , interests and boss feelings of the latter must be deeply involved in providing reengitable subsistence tor confidential or deserving as- Orme whiTR in acute employ, and neeeful aid in sickness and competent support for them us did age. The system of Life Assurance has been greatly improved, and (resented to the public in beneficial Institutions. But the root from which such Institutions spring tuts been altogether neglected ; and, in carefully making provision for a man's posterity, the ran himself, and his family, during his life, have been entirely disregarded. In the ordinary Benefit Societies, consisting of persons in various trades, and generally applicable to the lower classes only, no effi daft mauls have been employed to ascertain the continuance, or probable duration of certain disorders incident to such trades, nor to fir the contributions proper to be made, to secure a compensation fn loss of labour during those periods. Indeed, the difference of mortality, in different trades, has never been determined, se as to afford an accurate scale of contribution for each class. ACHILD'S CAUL to be SOLD reasonably.—Apply to A. B. It.. Felix.atmet, Bridge-toad, Lambeth. To extend and apply the advantages of the Benefit Society to in a more elevated station in life is the object of the PRO MOTER BENEFIT COMPANY. Its business will be con faul to ova, though numerous, class of persons only—the Heads of Departments, Pnr.cipal and Subordinate Clerks in Public Offices, Baking, and other Establishments ; because, by the steady uni formity their pursuits end habits, perfect means are afforded for making accurate calculations of the periodical contributions proper lobe made by that class, at all ages, without risk from the admis sion of persons of less healthy occupations. For this purpose, the true law of mortality among that particular Class of persons has been accurately ascertained ; scales of the pro pulsive advance of salary in public o ffi ces, with the usual periods of stmeramtuation. and the probability of advancement by pram tare deaths, bare been formed; the average number of sick persona at ali ages, and the average absence from business, have also been ntefully estimated. The engagements of the Company will be secured by a subscribed Capital of 60,000 f. in 6,000 Shares of 101. each ; tbe whole to be actually paid up at the time of subscribing. Three Thousand e.ares will be reserved. . _ As the materials for calculation have been procured expressly for ea purpose of this Institution, at great labour and very consider able expense, the remaining 3000 Shares will not be issued under 11. premium, to compensate the Projectors, Calculators, and others fur such labour. time, and cost. But, to afford a fair competition to the public, a few days will be allowed for biddings; the highest bidders of course will be selected, for any number of Shares they nay offer to take, at the price named In the Tender. In the event simian biddings for equal numbers, an equal distribution will be c:nle ; sad the whole 3.000 Shares will be disposed of among the ders, without any further reserve. For instance, if there should • six tenders for 100 Shares, each at 151. par Share, and six tiepa :;ate lenders fur only one Share, at 151. Is., each of the latter would s:cute of one Share, and the former weuld get 499 catch ; and so with reference to any higher or lower bidding—the lowest ex ceeding Ii!. per Share. Tcndrrs to he sealed and addressed to the "Promoter Benefit Company," under cover to " Sir John Peering, Bart. Shaw, Bar 'Der, and Co. Bankers. Cornhill, London." No Tender will be re reived after the 2d day of February, nor any opened until the 3d of February, at 12 o'eltek precisely, when the Committee will attend to open the Tenders. The successful bidders will receive notice to ray, Li full, the amount of their Shares to Sir John Peering, Bart. Maw, Barber, and Ca by whom the certi fi cates will be is su ed. No person will be allowed to hold more than NO Shares, but bi rigs even for single Shares will Tank according to price offered. The Board of Directors will consist of eight Members, and three mantis will be reserved urtil after the close of the biddings. riff t shuts will be a qnslification for a Director.

IMPOSTURE UNMASKEIn HE progress of Merit, although frequently assailed, is not impeded by envy and detraction. The aggression of ambuscade tenninaten in defeat; and conscious rectitude ultimately triumphs in the attainment of the grand object—public approba. lion. The tea.. of experience is the fttaran tee of favour, and has established WARREN'S B L ACKING in general estimation; of which there exists not a stronger proof than the tacit acknow ledgment of a boat of servile iiiiiintors, who surreptitiously obtrude on the unwary a spurious preparation as the genuine article, to the groat disappointment of the unguarded Purchaser, and manifest injury of WARREN, whose character and interest les , this in. iquitous spites!, are equally subject to detriment. k becomes, therefore. an indispensable duty to CAUTION the PUBLIC against t h e meoreu vrni of unprincipled Vendors, silo having no character to lose, and stimulated by avarice in their nefarious pur. suite, aim at the acquisition of money through any medium than that of honour! The original and matchless BLACKING bears on each bottle a abort diretaion, with the signature " ROBERT WARREN." AU others are counterfeits t and in miry instances the imposition labels arc artfully interlined with a different address, in very small characters, between the more conspicuous once of " No. 311," and " STRAND." It is earnestly recommended to Shopkeepers and others, who are deceived by base fabrications of IVARREN% itt u icßlNO, to return the detected trash to the source whence it came. and expose the machinations of rascality to merited obloquy.

The SOnterTOß-G EN Filet. then yore And adt!teaStl tie Jury in reply to t h e °bans-m N iens of Messrs. TB and 0' Ile contended that, by the existing lann as laid down la the case of the King n. Walter, the patty who was proprietor of a newspaper was liable for what appeared in that paper, even aln though it should appear without his knowledge. It was iron_ strum, that anserson who shared in the profits, who pocketed the emoluments. of the paper, shouhl not be an-,werable for shindering the characters, and woniwling the tiding!, of individuals. the propriety of this Moctnne, the conniction and the commit causedldie public went. That critninaliy, as well an eteilly, pm. prietors were liable, Lord Kenyoo had ruled ; and that this do;. trine hid alto been held by that great luthinary of the law, Lied Hale, by Mr. Annice Towel, and by Mr. /mince Fe ll er . It was nut, therefore, the mutt/tromp domibe of the day-nit warthe old, the received, and the settled law, founded in region, and bottomed in justice. Were the public to be subject to the capricious vlbdie. rive:lets of editors and proprietor, witlinut legal redissa we gigged remedy ? Was the real delinquent to be s!uelded by a man of straw ? and were the penalties of the law to be evaded by a dex terous mutation of p ro p r i e t ors hi p ? H e let old addrear the Jury more particularly respecting Mr. 'loran. The Jury were aware that the proprietorship underwent a change in October. th a t th e " And Fashiatior.e World" was omined, and that Haydn then commenced being the registered propticros. To all intents en d purposes, however, th e pep er the same as when flat do had distributed the prospectuses to Sterrett. What did the con reflation with Kean prove ? That Haydn sas from the mea t permanently interetteal In themencern. Whets ea the words, " that a Morning Paper was mach *owned, sad times he would set up one hinstelf." At this time Johnston had not made his appearance to team, and Haydn was the person to set the paper up. Johnson did rot write to tnterrett, and althnugh. lie might have been the registered proprietor, yet Haydn was the ain.. ducting person in the establishment. Kesrn applied a second t: tyre fer a situation, and the reply then was, that he was not then quite pre. pared ; that he bad not taken a house for the establi,hinent. 11 hat did this prote ? That lie, Haydn, was not a mere ecessionel ear_ tributor, bet a person having a perinanett interest in the establish. went. He afterwards took the house, 24, Parliatnent•strect ; I e meets Kearn again ; calks On him again, and Johnston was them, and only then, held forth as the proprietor. There was then a conversation on the r.r.offirio. Haydn appeared alarmed, mei Johnston not so much. Hut Haydn soon recovers himself, and het 'vs, lam glad as 1,000/. they have fi led the cc-it:six—its in be the crowning of the Star. It Haydn bad not a permanent end positive interest, what reason lad he to wish that the eanogreio which was threatened him, would be tiled ? Bet it appeared that in speaking of this publication, Haydn did not deny it. and in talktng with Kearn of the report of a trial for the Star, which that person had taken at Comm', he mks, and did or Coursel say the Paper was not profitable ? Ream too sees Haydn in the editorial room. If there were no other evidence, as you doubt that? Ilaydn asks him to give a report of the drawing-room. If Haydn were in *subordinate station, why could. he not do this himself? But Kearn would not promise to do ft, having a situation on the Patriot. Ile had a reporter of his oar., but he could not depend on him, and we fi nd hi m s lip p i ng out ao4 looking after his reporter. We find hint in Sep'center saying e hoz the Editor of this Journal was Editor of the Patriot. Now there was no other person in the establishment Edi or of the Patric:, end we have the testimony of Aldritt that he gave express directions fur the printing-presses—that Haydn pays for the first part, Jobr.stort for the second part, and a clerk for the remainder. We finil in./11r, Crowleeli evidence that Haydn gave fir more orders thee John. smn. 'We rind, too, Haydn promised Walsh a situation, when in his power; and that when the Star was about to be published. I Walsh called in 'wain, and that Haydn then said that he •oeld have none but the best workmen, as he would pay well. Wher; Haydn was talking with Sullivan, be nodded assent. Was not this evidence of his authority, and that he directed everything that he did rot leave to the management of 14rray, his overseer ? This was not the conduct of an occasional mfitributor. The neat thing was the evidence of Barry, who knew that Haydn was in the edito rial department. Scott said he was employed by him as bookkeeper, and that Haydn settled the salary ; and the eider of Haydn for ail pecuniary matters was always obeyed. There could be no doubt that Haydn read the Star—that he was familiar with the details ; yet he has not brought one person from the °trice as s witness n his part. It was contended that the present libel was an exercise of the freedom of the V7eAS. Them was no one more friendly to the freednin of the press than he was; but he thought that these wl claimed the exercise of a " chartered libertinism.' in this way might as well say that the air and atmosphere around us le free ard fresh, while the element In which we dwell is pestiferotis and Pesti* lantiaL so to contend that Ilia present libel was net ef Mahe' tonere* which he would designate as tainted with pestiieloial venom, sr4 as pregnant with malicious feeling. In all the varied relit:limed! life there was nothing so valuable so repute. ion. It was the jewel fur which the meanest and the lowliest man in the community sought able. Wounds on the body might be cauterised and closed by the application of a healing remedy; but where was the myna c for those wounds of the mind, which were aline impalpable and ,n, curable ? Bodily ailments were under the dominion of the healing ing art, in the precise ratio of the robust and rude health of the pa, tient ; but wound, in the mind were incurable and irremediable, in the degree of the sensitiveness and shrinking purity of tie vice dm. The liberty of the press might not he inaptly cempared to the exhibition of a strong and powerful medicine. If administered judiciously and in due and proper time, it became a source of r.feend longevity; but if it were applied without being meted according to strict rule, and in an indefinite and boundless prodigalny, then it because a poisonous pervetsion, ulingling with tee healthful Juices, anti "turning into gall the b rea d o f lif e ." It corroded into the vitals of the victim--it decremed his stmegth and paralysed his power—and precipitated that bodily dissolution which it was ea Whited to preserve. So it was with the liberty of the press. If tut ered to exceed the healthful and whale. some measure, it was perverted to a poison the more deadly mid dangerous, from the solemn, and often the sophisticated, secures, with which it was sought to be ndinir.istered ; and at length rt e patient and the public found the dissolution of all the mural ties Gl' society precipitated by . that which they had fondly conceived thew stay and security, the ir hope and their haven and he who hue git ed that he would descend to the grave, consoled by the ber.td.e noes, and cheered by the solace of a hope beyond it—mho fondly dwelt with pleasure, and pride, in the survival of his mennity Le. yond the narrow precincts of the silent tomb, might food that tomb kneed against the tear of sensibility and the 'sigh of sorrow, by the presence of those pestilential mallations which sprung nom the ashes of an enmity exceeding the limits of ordinary morts:ity„anu which transferred to the monumental marble, and to the incite durable records of • not impartial himory--theeridenne not of truth , of justice, or good feeling—but of a hatred, immoderate, unquench able, and unchristian. The hISTICIC thin addressed the Jury. Atter reay.i tulating and observing upon the evidence, his Lordship confirmed —" Gentlemen, do you believe the Witnesses, and does the evidence that they have given satisfy you, that, on the 9th of February, this man was the general Editor, and that he partook in the particular libel which appeared in the first Paper. so, Gentlemen, ycu will find the defendant guiky. The next consideration is, whetthr the particular composition is a fair exercise of the liberty of tte press ; and it is my duty to tell you, that if you believe it to he a tn - exerei us of this privilege, it is not a libel. gut, Gentlenxa, the liberty of the press is interwoven with the liberty of the so ; and it, in the exercise of the one the other shall be invaded, Cr; bound, u guardians of both, to redress the aggrieved. Von tit therefore conclude, Gcntic men, that it is not a fair exercise of tin: liberty of that press, to defame our fellow-chitmt. l'he remelt publication is of that dais of libels which defame men holdlng pcb. lie situations. Gentlemen, by the state of the law in this seta ty, no man possesses the right of defaming the character of a man, no more than be possesses the right of Uefaming privar e viduals.
