A BARGAIN OFFERED, In a fine and Valuable FARM, in the County of Princess Anne. THE Subscriber is disposed to sell his Plantation called LEVEL GREEN, situated in the county of Princess Anne. It contains about 800 acres; and, as it may be ad- vantageously divided into two or three Farms, the sub- scriber will accommodate a purchaser, in selling either the whole or a part. He will also give a long credit. This Tract of Land is certainly the most desirable in the county. It lies on the Eastern branch of Elizabeth River, and distant from Norfolk Market only five or six miles by water, and 8 or 9 by land. The soil is excellent, about one half of the tract being cleared land, and fit for immediate culture; the other heavily timbered with Oak, Pine, Ash, and Hickory. It has also the advantage of several good landings. Any one disposed to view the land, and to purchase, may apply, in the absence of the subscriber, to JAMES ROBINSON , or JOHN REID , who reside in the neighbourhood. Tilly Robinson. Dec 7.
Boot and Shoe Manufactory. SAMUEL COLEMAN, Opposite the Market (westward) has received by captain Lewis, on Monday last from Philadelphia, a large quan- tity of the best Boot Legs, Vamps, Tops, &c. that has (probably) ever been in Norfolk. With the Philadelphia Upper Leather for Boots—the best of Oak and other Leather for Shoes—good workmanship and promptness of dispatchment—a regular and fore- most and a desirable supplier. He has already furnished several well-known firms, better Boots and Shoes and has the pleasure to announce that he has rendered here the best of the best, on these conditions: only he admits custom. He draws from Baltimore, &c. three good HANDS for making Boots, and a good stock of KID and MORUCCO; the materials and workmanship shall be good, or an al- lowance made for that which is not; but the greatly au- mented price of all the materials, and the high price of la- bour in that way, will force a part of the Shoes being sold at the price of the raw materials, generally offered for sale here. The Manufacturer shows all kinds of Boots & Shoes made. The distinction of getting Boots and Shoes made in the place of sale and manufacture is desirable, where the responsibility of work and materials is bound to be obvious not to be misrepresented by those who have eyes and will not see. He has on hand a large assortment of Boots, which gen- erally may be fitted at any time. He is certain of not misrepresenting the price, as he has no room work done, and a large assortment of shoes of nearly all kinds. His terms are moderate. For the best of the PROPERTY Notice of property to be disposed of about three and on business terms. August 15.

Eagle Fire Company of New-York. Office of the Company, No. 59, Wall Street. PROPOSALS For Insuring Houses, Buildings, Stores, Ships in Harbour, Goods, Wares, and Merchandise. FROM LOSS OR DAMAGE BY FIRE.
THE Legislature of the state of New-York, having in- corporated the Eagle Fire Company of New-York, with a capital of five hundred thousand dollars, (with the li- berty of increasing the same, if the business of the company should require it, to one million of dollars,) for the sole pur- pose of insuring buildings, and every kind of personal pro- perty from loss or damage by FIRE; and a capital of five hundred thousand dollars having all been paid, or secured to be paid, according to law; the directors feel a particular sa- tisfaction in offering to their fellow-citizens, throughout the United States, the means of security against that kind of loss which frequently, in an UNEXPECTED MOMENT, involves in destruction the earnings of a life of industry and frugality, and reduces the independent and affluent, together with their families, to poverty and distress. To provide an additional guard against calamities of this nature, has been the primary motive of this INSTITUTION; and the directors engage to conduct its concerns, with a fairness, candour and libera- lity, which will justly entitle it to the confidence and patron- age of the publick. No insured person will be liable to make good the loss- es of others; but in case of fire, the sufferer will be fully indemnified. The Company also make good losses on pro- perty burnt by lightning.
Classes of Hazards, and Rates of Annual Premiums for Insurance against Fire. No. I. HAZARDS OF THE FIRST CLASS. Brick or Stone buildings, covered with slate, tiles, or me- tal. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 62 1-2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not ex- ceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk. No. II. HAZARDS OF THE SECOND CLASS. Brick or Stone buildings, covered with wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 93 3-4 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not ex- ceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk. No. III. HAZARDS OF THE THIRD CLASS. Buildings, the sides of which are part of brick or stone, and part of wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 123 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceed- ing 10,000 dollars in one risk. No. IV. HAZARDS OF THE FOURTH CLASS. Buildings, the sides of which are entirely of wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 187 1-2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk. Ships in Port, or their Cargoes, Ships Repairing or Building, may be insured against Fire. This manner of classing hazards will give a general idea of the rates of insurance, but there will necessarily be an in- crease of premium in all cases where the local situation, and other circumstances, increase the risk: such as joining, or being contiguous to wooden buildings, or buildings occupied in carrying on hazardous business—distance from water—no engines or firemen in the town or place, &c. &c. The pre- miums may also, in some cases, be reduced on wooden build- ings in the country, when standing single or detached, or attended with circumstances of peculiar security:—But in all cases, if the sum to be insured on or in the same build- ing exceeds 10,000 dollars, an additional premium will be required. Soap, Tanners, Tallow Chandlers, Brewers, Maltsters, Bak- ers, Role Makers, Sugar Refiners, Distillers, Chemists, Varnish Makers, Stable Keepers, Tavern Keepers, China, Glass, or Earthenware Sellers, Oil and Colourmen, Turpen- tine Works, Paper Mills, Printing Houses, Coopers, Car- penters, Cabinet Makers, Coach Makers, Boat Builders, Ship Chandlers, Apothecaries, Theatres, Mills and Machi- nery, and all Manufactories that use Fire Heat, are deemed extra hazardous, and must be particularly described in the policy; and for all such risks an additional premium will be required.
Conditions of Insurance. I. All applications for Insurance must be made at the of- fice of the company, in writing; and the subject offered for Insurance accurately described. II. If the property offered for insurance is within the dis- trict of a surveyor of this company, he will examine and re- port thereon; but if not within any such district, then the applicant must himself furnish an accurate and just descrip- tion thereof, viz. of what materials each building is construct- ed; whether occupied as private dwellings, or how other- wise; where situated; the name of the present occupiers; how situated with respect to other buildings. And in the in- surance of goods, wares and merchandise, the place where the same are deposited, is to be described also, whether such goods are of the kind denominated hazardous, and whether any manufactory is carried on in the premises, all which is to be certified and attested in such manner as the nature of the case may admit. And if any person or per- sons shall insure his or their buildings or goods, and shall cause them to be described in the policy otherwise than they really are, so as the same be charged at a lower premium than is herein proposed; or if such description be false or fraudulent, such insurance will be void and of no effect. III. Goods held in trust, or on commission, are to be de- clared as such; otherwise the policy will not extend to cover such property. IV. Every Policy of Insurance, made by this Company, shall be sealed with its seal, and signed by the President and Secretary; and the person for whose interest the insurance is made, must be declared and named therein; nor can any Policy, or interest therein, be assigned but by consent of the Company, expressed by endorsement made thereon. V. No Insurance will be considered as made or binding, until the premium is paid. VI. Persons insuring Property with this Company, and who have already made other Insurance on the same proper- ty, shall give notice thereof in writing, at the Company's Office, before, or at the time of the execution of the Policy; and persons who, after insuring Property with this Company, have Insurance made on the same property elsewhere, shall, with all reasonable diligence, notify the same in writing at the Office of the Company, and have the same endorsed on the policy, or otherwise acknowledged in writing; in default whereof, the Policy shall cease, and be of no effect; and in case of loss, each party insuring shall be liable to the pay- ment of a ratable proportion of the loss or damage which may be sustained. VII. No loss or damage by fire will be paid, that may hap- pen or take place in consequence of any invasion, civil com- motion, riot, or military or usurped power whatever. VIII. Books of Account, Warrant Securities, Notes, Bills, Bonds, Deeds, Ready Money, or Bullion, cannot be insured. IX. Jewels, Plate, Medals, or other Curiosities, Paintings and Sculptures, are not included in any insurance, unless specifically described in the policy. X. All persons insured by this Company, sustaining any loss or damage by fire, are forthwith to give notice to the Company, and as soon after as possible, to deliver in as par- ticular an account of their loss or damage, signed with their hands, to the amount of the sum with which they are in- sured, or to the amount of their interest therein, and to their best of knowledge, and other proper vouchers, as shall be reasonably required; and shall make oath, whether any and what other insurance is made on the same property, and shall produce a certificate, under the hand of a magistrate, notary public, or clergyman, most contiguous to the place where the fire happened, and not concerned in such loss, that they are acquainted with the character and circum- stances of the person or persons insured; and do know, or ver- ily believe, that he, she, or they, really, and by misfortune, and without fraud or evil intent, have sustained by such fire, loss and damage to the amount therein mentioned; and that such insurance and certificate are produced, the loss shall be payable as aforesaid, if there appears any fraud, or
false swearing, the amount shall forfeit his claim to restitut- ion or payment, by virtue of his policy. XI. In case any difference shall arise, touching any loss or damage, it may be submitted to the judgement of Arbitrators, indifferently chosen, whose award in writing shall be binding on the parties. And when any loss or damage shall happen, the company shall pay for the same, in sixty days after the loss shall have been ascertained and proved, without allow- ance of discount, fees, or any deduction whatever. XII. Insurance may be made for seven years, by paying the premium at six years, and for a less number of years than seven, a reasonable discount will be allowed.
The Subscriber being appointed Sur- veyor for the Eagle Fire Company, upon application, will survey, and value, such buildings, (or property contained therein) upon which Insurance may be required. Francis Foster, Church-Street, Norfolk. Feb 13.

Two Valuable FARMS for Sale. I offer the following Valuable Property for sale, viz. my Farm in Harvey's Neck, and a Tract of Land living on the N. E. side of Piqueman's River, containing 106 acres (directly opposite the Farm), one other Tract con- taining 200 acres, lying on the S. W. side of said river, about four miles above the Farm, both these tracts are well tim- bered. I will also sell the FARM on which I live, and my wharf and Lots in Edenton, with the improvements. The Farm in Harvey's Neck contains 220 acres, 260 of which are clear- ed and in a high state of cultivation; in point of fertility of soil, it is not far, if at all, behind any in this part of the state, the soil is well adapted to the cultivation of Wheat and Indian Corn, Wheat in particular, the White Clover grows (almost out of season) in the greatest abundance. I have made on this Farm one feed from 50,000 bushels, 320 barrels of Corn; this place is situated on the S. W. bank of Piqueman's Riv- er near the mouth of it, a delightful prospect, in an agreeable neighbourhood; on it is a convenient Dwelling House, with every necessary out-buildings. The two Tracts on the same riv- er are considered as appendages to this Farm, for the purpose of supplying it with rail timber, &c. There is an excellent well of water, and the situation is considered to be as healthy as any in that part of the country; with the farm may be had from 15 to 20 good ordinary Negroes, 100 head of sheep, 150 head of hogs, 40 or 50 head of cattle, horses, oxen, and all the farming utensils, &c. The Farm on which I live, contains 500 acres, 200 of which are cleared and under good fence and in prime order, the rest is covered with good timber; the soil is well adapted to the cultivation of wheat and corn, and with very little labour from 30 to 40 acres might be cultivated in Rice to great advantage; it is supposed (and I have no doubt of it) that this place would admit of having one of the best Herring and Shad Fisheries in this state, and could be carried on very extensively at a small expense; the situation is excelled by none, it lies on the bank of Albemarle Sound, being the N. E. point of the bay of Edenton, 4 miles by water and 5 by land from the town; it is an elevated situation and very healthy; there is on the Farm a convenient Dwelling- House, and every necessary out-house, a most excellent well of water, a number of choice fruit trees, and a large garden newly inclosed, which affords the greatest abundance of ve- getables of every kind necessary for family use. This Farm is a most desirable situation for a gentleman who wishes to retire with his family on a country seat. With the Farm may be had from 10 to 20 valuable negroes, 75 to 100 head of sheep, 50 head of cattle, 100 to 200 head of hogs, horses, oxen, and every necessary implement of husbandry. The Wharf and Lots in Edenton is one of the best situa- tions in town for shipping business and a retail store; a large new Ware-House three stories high, stands on the head of the wharf, and several other houses. The property will be shown, and the terms (which will be very moderate) will be known by applying to me. JOHN SKINNER. Moseley's Point, June 4, 1809.
