miss C(I.'IPANY bas been established for the pur-
-1 chime of Annuities, to be secured on Freehold, Copyhold, or
Leasehold Property, in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland ; on Money in the Funds ; Parish Bonds; Turnpike
Tolls; and other descriptions of eligible Property.
It addition to this plan of investment, IheCoalpatly will purchase
Betersians, Ground Rents, Gontingencos, Life Annuities, already
granted by Insurance and other Companies, Pensions granted by
Government, Life Interests, Survivorship., and every similar de-
scription of Property, by which the Capital of the Company may
be securely and profitably invested, for the benefit of the Share-
holders. Some of the advantages which the establishment of this
Company will secure to the Public are, the reduction of the rate of
annuity interest: protection from the exactions of money agents,
and enormous legal charges; and the certainty of procuring, with-
out delay, on every description of eligible security, a fair and rate-
able advance of Capital ou the Property oflerel To the Share.
holders, the association will necessarily be remunerative, from the
rate of annuity interest obtained; from the expenses of the Com-
pany being comparatively small, and from the securities taken
for the Capital advanced being always tangible, real, and unin-
cumbered.
During the last three years the average rate of interest of money,
advanftd by way of Annuity in England, including Insurance,
where necessary, has been from 7 to 124 per cent.; and, although
the rate of Interest on money, lent by way of Mortgage, has in
some measure fallen, yet the number of Annuities granted in Eng-
land, and enrolled in I tea, was 1467; and exceeded in number and
amount those granted in 1318, 1620, and 1821. when the rate of in-
terest was considerably higher. During. the last three years, nearly
Four Millions of money have been so invested, besides Annuities
on Freehold Property, not enrolled, and those granted on Irish and
Scotch Seenrities.

The Company thus estalilished, will be governed by a Board of
Directors, acting under the authority of the Legislature, for whose
'section applicstion will be this day made.
The CApital is Three Jlilliona Sterling, in 60,000 Shares. of 501.
each, with liberty for the Directqys to extend the amount commen-
surate with the demands of the Public.

The Shareholders in the Company to whom Shares have been
allotted, are apprized that the first call of Two Pounds per Share,
most be paid on or before the 10th May instant, either to Means.

Mansion House-str,n, to Moons Sir John Peering, Bart, Shaw,
Barber, and Co., Bankers. 72, Cornhill, or to a Committee of
Directors, who will meet at their prevent offices, Ns. 16, New Broad-
street, on Tuesday the 4th, Thursday the 6th, Saturday the Bth,
and Monday the lOtii of May instant, from one to three o'clock on
each day, to receive the Deposits, issue the Scrip, and afford any
explanation to the Shareholders which they may require.
The Shareholders arc also informed, that ample notice will be
given of every call which their interest may require for future in.
vestments, as It is one of the features of this Company that there
shall be no dormant capital.
For the benefit also of that portion of the public who have been
disappointed in obtaining Shares, it has been decided, that, if at
the time of payment of the second, or any future instalment, any
of the present Prowietors prefer having the entailer of their Shares
reduced, they shall be at liberty to do so, in such proportion, so
that their previous payment or payments be sufficient for the instal-
ments on the Shares so reduced. Thus, if an original Proprietor
of 100 Shares, upon which 21. per Share shall have been paid, shall
prefer haying his number reduced to AO, instead of paving a second
Instalment of 21., he shall be at liberty so to do; and so in like
manner with every subsequent instalment. The Shares thus ob-
tained are to be allowed to the Public.

must be, fallacious: it originates with conceited ignorance, is puffed

duped Imbecility. The progress wade, and the opinion enter.

the severest test of the capacity and the qualifications of an in-
