TRUS TEES SAMUEL SANDBACH, Esq•, CHARLES S. PARKER, Esq HUGH HORNBY, Esq., JOHN STEWART, E-q., JOSEPH LANGTON, Esq., JAMES MULLENEUX, ESO E want of a Park for the recreation of the Inhabi tants of Liverpool, as well as for a healthful place of residence, has long been felt, especially of late years, when almost every pleasant Suburb of the Town has been encroached upon by mean buildings and narrow and con fined streets. This want will, in some measure. be supplied by the public spirit of RICHARD VAUGHAN YATES, Esq , who has purchased a considerable piece of Land in Toxteth -park, about 100 statute acres, which is now being laid out as a Park and Pleasure Grounds and Garden, with sites set apart for handsome residences, partly in Terraces and partly in detached Villas. With a view of promoting the above public-spirited de sign, it is proposed to form a Company on the principle of a Tontine. The leadinz features of the scheme are as follows : That the Tontine shall last for a period rot exceeding thirty years. That the Capital shall not exceed £50,000, divided into transferable Shares of £lOO each ; that £lO shall be paid down at the time of subscribing.. and the scheme to be considered formed so soon as £20,000 shall he subscribed ; £lO more on a day to be fixed, and the remainder by in stalments as may be required; that the money shall . be laid out in the erection of Houses. in Terraces or other wise, in the Prince's Park, and the Property be vested in Trustees, all of them members of the Company, and by whom the affairs of the Company shall be directed ; that the Life of each Nominee shall be insured by the Trustees for the sum which his name represents, so that each con tributor shall receive back the amount he has contributed in the event of the failure of the life he has selected. That the age of the nominee shall not exceed twenty five y -ars. That the rents, after payment of all expenses. including, of course, the cost of insurance, shall annually he divided amongst the Proprietors whose nominees shall be then living, in proporton to their re.peetive Shares, and that at the period fixed for the determination of the Tontine, the whole property shall he sold and converted into mo ney by the Trustees, and the proceeds divided amongst the Proprietors of Shares whose nominees shall be then living. In all cases the subscribers to the Tontine to have a preference in renting. For the information of those who may not be acquainted with the mode in which the Park is to be laid out and managed, it may be desirable to state, briefly, the most material provisions and stipulations of the deed of con veyance to Mr. Yates, which has been printed for the use of purchasers. Besides the Land appropriated for Villas and Terraces, part of which, being occupied by Flower Gardens enclosed with open iron railings, will aid to the. beauty and ap parent extent of the Park. the whole of the interior of the Park, comprising about 45 acres, will be left open and unbuilt upon, and will be laid out and planted in an orna mental manner. With a view to secure this object, the Park, Pleasure Grounds, and Garden, and also the Roads and Drives, are vested in Trsutees for a period of Seventy-five Years, upon trust, to be used for the above purposes only. The remainder of the Land, constituting the exterior of the Park, is intended to be sold for the erection of Ter races and Villas, as after mentioned. Mr, Yates binds himself to make and complete the Park, Pleasure Grounds, Plantation, and Garden within five years from the Ist of January, 1843 ; a:so, to make the several Roads and Drives laid down upon the Plan, with proper and convenient Main Sewers, and to make Orna mental Entrances, with Gates, and great progress has al ready been made. The Park and Pleasure Grounds and Garden are to be for the use of the Owners and Occupiers of the Houses erected in the Park, subject to the admission of the Public to the Walks and Drives, under proper regula-. tions. No Building can be erected on any part of the Land de voted to the Park and Garden, except an Observatory, Museum, Library, or o , her Building for some public purpose, of approved elevation, such Building not to oc cupy more than 5,000 yards. On each Lot of Land sold will be reserved a Ground Rent, not less than a halfpenny, and not exceeding 3d per square yard, which is to be made payable to the Trustees for the term of 75 Years. These Rents, when all the Lots are sold, are to amount at least to £l,OOO a-year, and to provide for any de ficiency, so long as a portion of the Rents only are pay able, that is until the whole of the Lots are sold, Mr. Yates binds himself and his Heirs to pay to the Trus tees one half of the deficiency, whatever it may be, until the Reserved Rents shall amount to £l,OOO a year. The Trustees are to permit Mr. Yates to receive the Rents during his life, he keeping the Park in order and repair. After Mr. Yates's death, or on his declining to continue the management of the Park, the Trustees are to receive the Rents, including the deficiency guaranteed by Mr. Yates, if any, and including the Profits arising from let ting the Pasturage, and from letting the Lodges, which Moneys are to be applied by them in maintaing the Park, Gardens, Drives, &c., in good order. The Land appropriated for sale is to be sold subject to restrictions, and in conformity with the Deed of Covenant and Plan. Thus is effectually secured, for a period at least of 75 years, a Park of considerable extent in the immediate vi cinity of Liverpool, with effectual provisions for keeping the same in good order, and free from every species of nuisance. It will be approached on the side nearest the Town by a street of twenty yards wide, now in course of formation, leading in a direct line from the end of Catherine-street, which, with the new streets about being formed over land of the late John Thomas, Esq., and communicating with Hardman-street, will form the handsomest line of streets in Liverpool. The Park has been laid out with great taste by gentle men of the highest eminence in their profession, and though much interior in point of size to the Regent's park in London, possesses greater variety of surface, and commands, from the elevated portions of it, views of the River Mersey, of the Welsh Mountains, and of the Scenery of the Cheshire and Lancashire Coasts, with which no view in the Regent's-park can be compared. The locality, moreover, is such that these views can scarcely be interfered with by any erections which can be made on the Lands of the adjoining Proprietors. The advantages, then, of the proposed Tontine are briefly these : _ Fir j st, from the Locality and from the certainty of the Park being maintained, the houses may be expected to be favoured places of residence, to produce good rents, and to maintain their value. Secondly, the Land is now offered for sale at a very moderate price, being, in fact, at a price formed on a calculation of the first cost or the Land, and the estimated cost of forming the Park, which estimated cost will, there can be little doubt, fall considerably below the actual cost. There is, consequently, every probability, it may almost be said certainty, of the Lsnd rising in value. Thirdly, no proprietor will, under any circumstances, lose his principal, and there is every probability of there being secured to him a fair return, in the shape of in come, which income will, of course, be increased as the lives drop, whereby the value of the investment will also be increased. The Gentlemen whose names appear at the head of this Prospectus have consented to act as Provisional Trustees; so soon as Two I I inidred Shares are taken a Meeting will be held to elect Trustees, and to agree upon the condi tions of the Trust. _ .... Applications for Shnres to be made, on or before the First day of December next, to Messrs. EDEN and STANISTREET, Solicitors, Royal Bank-buildings, or to any of the Provitional Trustees.

William Moodie, Esq., Merchant, Leith. THE EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY COMPANY having now determined to extend their Line to the North Bridge, and a company being in course of formation from that point to Berwick-on-Tweed, both of which Lines will thus be connected the Edinburgh, Leith, and Newlumen Railway, it has been resolved to carry on the branches to Leith and Grantor) Pier. The Main Line of this • Railway, from Scotland street to Trinity, has been completed and in successful operation all this season. The Di ift-way through the Tunnel, by means of which it will be carried into the centre of the city, is nearly finished, and the Tunnel itself may be com pleted within 18 months. The Branch to Leith secur's the great trade of th a t port. More than 40.000 tons of Goods pass yearly be tween Edinburgh and Glasgow, by way of the Ralway and the two Canals ; and upwards of 200.000 tons, exclusive of coals, between Edinburgh and Leith, which the gre a tly reduced cost of carriage, as-compared with the rates of cartage, insures to the Railway. The number of passengers between Edinburgh and Leith, by coach, exceeds 400,000 yearly. The p-ssenger.traffic between Edinburgh Granton, and Newhaven, also exceeds 400,000, - I,nd the Newhaven Railway is besides conveying at the rate of 150,000 yearly. In consequence of the extension of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, its junction with this Line, and th. - ! reduced cost of carriage, all Goods coming from, and to, the West of Scotland, will unquestionably pass along this Rilway and Branches. The necessary consequence will be a large increase of traffic, particularly in Iron and Coals in the Leith export trade; and Leith would add at least 50,000 tons yearly to.this-trade in these branches alone. The length of the branch to Leith is 11 mile, and the estimated cost is £43,441 ; the Branch to Granton would be one mile long, and the estimated cost is £49,47 0 ,— and after allowing for exuenses of Bill and all other con tingencies, the new capital required may be stated at £lOO,OOO. In ?strading the amount of revenue, the average re turn from the carriage of goods, along the whole line is assumed at Is per ton, and the average of passengers at 4d. each, and the anticipated revenue may then be stated thus : PASSENGERS. 1. Passengers on the main Line to Trinity, 150,000 yearly . 2. Grantor) and_Newhaven Steam-boat pas- sengers, 400,000 yearly 3. Leith Coach and Carriage passengers, 400,000 yearly, but assume only one-half r. X 12,499 4,166 Add for anticipated increase, only one-third. Total for passengers GOODS. 1. Between Edinburgh and Leith, 200,000 tons of Goods yearly ; assume only one fourth 2. Between Leith and Granton and Glasgow, (upwards of) 40,000 3. Anticipated increase between Glasgow and the mineral districts in the west, and Leith, 50,000 tons . ... £16,665 £23,665 Deduct one-third for working and manage ment Free revenue .. .... £15,777 Or 71 per cent. on the Capital Applications for Shares may be made at the Company's Office, 35, Scotland-street, Edinburgh ; to RICHARD DAWSON, Esq., 10, Exchange-alley, Liverpool ; Mr. A.

AT a MEETING within the Council Chambers, Leith, of the PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE of th e BRANCH LINE of the EDINBURGH and NEW. HAVEN RAILWAY to LEITH and GRANTON, on the 9th day of October, 1843, THE HONOURABLE THE PROVOST in the Chair, The following resolution was moved by ROBERT MOW BRAY, Esq., Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, seconded by ROBERT LAURIE, Esq., Master of the Mer chant Company, and thereafter carried unanimously, " That this meeting having met and conferred with the Directors of the Edinburgh and Newhaven Railway, re gard with feelings of great gratification the renewed pro posal of these Directors to extend a Branch Line to Leith ; believing, as they do, that the connection so to be afforded by en unbroken chain of Railway to Edinburgh and Glas gow will be productive of uncalculable benefit to the trade and prosperity of Leith, for the reasons and in the manner detailed in the Prospectus of the Blanch Lines which has been issued;—Recommend that Meetings of the different Public Bodies in Leith should be immediately held to take the matter into consideration ; and earnestly advise their fellow-citizens to give all the support and counten ance to the undertaking in their power."

OPI V lONS OF THE PRESS : " This work, a TENTH Edition of which is now pre sented to the public—fen thousand copies have been ex hausted since its first appearance—has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the inser tion of several new and highly interesting cases. The numberless instances daily occurring, wherein affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of con sumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful habits, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour is no where more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying, that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman."—Sun. " Messrs. Curtis's work, called MANHOOD, is one of the few books now coming before the public on such a subject, which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully in telligible to all who read it. The moral and medical pre cepts given in it, render it invaluable."--Magnet. " The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book, entitied MAN HOOD, has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The char connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is percep tible to every capacity."—Ape. " This is a work that we fear there exists too much need for, to cause us to hesitate to recommend it for ge neral perusal. Every branch of those frightful maladies, whether the result of immoral habits or secret vices, is here succinctly treated, and, divested of all medical tech nicality, plain and easy directions are given for the best mode to be pursued in all cases, however complicated or apparently hopeless. To the married, as well as the un married, this little work alike affords consolation and cure In peculiar cases, and we are doing service to society in recommending it to general notice."—Essex and Herta Mercury. " The scientific views taken by the authors, of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced surgeons ; and the result of our careful perusal of the work has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those intrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir."—Old England.

THE Principles of this Society are those of Mutual Assurance, or, as it has been more properly termed, Mutual Contribution. The Members are their own As surers. They are the Proprietors—the Sole Parties in terested in the Funds—and, although by the Articles of Constitution. no Member is personally responsible for any Sum of Money beyond the Contribution conditioned to be paid by him in his Policy, the stability of the Society is amply provided for and secured by the salutamy Regula tion,—That at each Period of Investigation, one-third of the ascertained Profits shall be set aside and retaineol as a Guarantee Fund. PRACTICE OF THE SOCIETY, Whilst this Society owes very much unquestionably to the Equity of the Rules and Principles upon which it has been Established, some share of its Popularity is attri butable to the manner in which these Rules and Principles ere practically carried out. The Tables and Calculations are all founded upon data which the long and successful experience of the Equitiol• Society of London has show* may confidently be relit d upon as safe. Although almost universally practised by other Offices, and although it unquestion a bly a dd s cons id era bly t o t h e i r Business, the System of Bribing Parties unconnected with their Office, by the offer of a Commission on all Business introduced through their medium or influence, is not countenanced by this Soc ety. The Directors have al ways looked upon it as a practice which, for many reasons, is equally to be deprecated in the Company or Society offering, and in the party accepting the bribe. One of the great characteristics of the Society is the li beral, punctual, and simple manner in which the Claims are settled, combined with the very great care bestowed by the Directors (with the advice and assistance of the Medical Officers) in the Selection of Lives. Instead of afforuing every facility to parties to join the Society, and afterwards throwing all manner of unnecessary obstacles in the way of settlemen;, when the claim emerges, the Directors proceed upon the opposite principle of being most cautious and particular in their inquiries before ad mitting Members to the Benefits of the Society; but, after being admitted, they are entitled to all the advantages which the Society affords; and when the claim emerges, no undue delay takes place, and no difficulties which can be avoided are interposed to prevent an easy and expedi tious settlement. The utmost care is bestowed upon the Investment and Accumulation of the Funds ; many advantageous oppor tunities, which are not open to others, being afforded to this Society, in the large Amount of its Capital, and its rapidly increasing Annual Revenue. Forms of Proposal, and all further information. may be had on application at the Head Office, or at any of the Society's Agencies. JOHN MACKENZIE, Manager, 5, St. Andrew-square, Edinburgh.

The report exhibited a steady increase in its business, and a Bonus was then declared, varying from 97 to 36 per cent. on Premiums. as an addition to the Policy-174 per cent. in cash, or 10 per cent, permanent reduction on all future premiums.
