MR. HILLS returns his most sincere thanks to
those gentlemen that did him the honour to
call and point out the errors that he was making in
his map of the Rate of New-Jersey, and he is very
sorry he was not at home, and hopes they will excuse
him, for he was busily employed in surveying the city
of Perth-Amboy, and its environs. As he has re
turned, he ffiall esteem it as a particular favour if
gentlemen will call on him as they travel thro' Prince
ton, to point out any more errors, or can any way
give him any information : And 1 do assure the pub
lick, that it will be shortly finifned, and 1 hope it
will meet with general approbation.

To be Sold, at Publick Vendue,
On Saturday the 9th of April next, at 5 o'clock in the
afternoon, at the market-house in Trenton,
H E house in which Mr. Robert Singer now lives,
L adjoining Mr. Joseph Manor's, in which a store
has been kept many years, and is a good stand for any
publicly business: The lot contains about a quarter
and half quarter of an acre of ground, on which there
is also a good liable, well of water, &c. Two lots
of land near Mr. John Ricky's, containing near one
acre each, about one half of which is good meadow,
and the remainder may be made so ; they are very
pleasantly situated, and in a good part of the town for

in good fence, and near the town, on which is a good
bearing orchard. Six months credit will be given for

'lO be Sold by the Subscriber,
r I'HE house in which he now lives, with the fpaci
- lous lot whereon it stands, the water lot and new
wharf of 78 feet front; it is known to be as good a
stand for business as any in the city of New-Bruniwick.
Likewise the house and lot on Water-lcreet, adjoining
next belov'vColonel Taylors, in possession of William
Nevius ; the lot is in front on the street 75 feet, and
extending the fame breadth about 175 feet, with a wa
ter lot in front of the whole, as advantageously situ
ated, and as capable of improvement, as any lot on
the river :—A number of lots and water lots lying on
Water-street and the river Raritan, between Doctor
Cochran's house and the mine-pits; with a number of
lots on Albany-street, New-street, and other Greets to
be laid out. Also, the freehold right to several lots
an? houses in Albany-street, upon ground rent.
The city of New-Bruufwick is perhaps more advan
tageously situated for an inland trade, than any town
in New-Jersey, it being a thoroughfare between Phila
delphia and New-York, and at the head of the navi
gation of the river Raritan; dittant from the former
about 60 miles, one half of which is water carriage;
and from the latter, about 35 miles by land, and 40
by water. The Rage-waggons from both these cities
pass through every day in the year, except Sunday;
and vessels of very considerable burthen afford daily
opportunities of transportation to New-York. It is
remarkable for being a healthy spot, and situated in
the heart of a well fettled fertile country, which af
fords daily supplies, of provisions of all forts, at lower
rates than any town in New-Jersey: No place can be
better situated for storekeepers, mechanicks or manu
facturers, as tradesmen of all kinds may find constant
employ, and fend or carry their manufactures either
to New-York or Philadelphia, at very little expence.
So fine a situation is really an object for a company of
honest Germans, whole industry the proprietor wishes
so much to encourage, that if their families will be
come citizens by purchase, he will give them a proper
lot to build a church on, and a convenient lot of four
or five acres for a parsonage. This place is likewise
distant, by land or water, about 12 miles from the citv
of PERTH-AMBOY, situated at the mouth of the
river Raritan, lately made a free port, and endowed
by charter with privileges, and by nature with advan
tages, that cannot but be the means of promoting com
merce very rapidly in this state. A number of lots and
water lots are likewise to be fold there. Those that
incline to purchase, may know the terms and conditi
ons of sale, by applying to
