T HE LONDON BRICK COMPANY.
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 pecuniary. 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 offices, 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 Caby whom the certificates will be issued.
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.
The objects of the Comp±try are more fully detailed in the Pro-
/PeCtua• which may be obtained at the Banking House.
