THE CITY of LONDON CENTRAL STREET,
and NORTHERN IMPROVEMENT COMPANY.—
Capital, Eight Hundred Thouund -Pounds, to be divided into
16.000 Shares of 501. each ; a deposit of 11. per Share to be paid on
subscribing.
This Joint Stock Company has been formed to carry into effect
one of the most important improvements in the City of London ever
offered to the public notice, by removing a miserable and unwhole-
some neighbourhood, and forming on its site New Streets, to com-
municate from the Southern to the Northern parts of the City, on
which are to be erected handsome capacious Buildings, which will
produce that great and desirable object so anxiously wished for, of
making one continued line from the Obelisk, in St. George's-fields,
to Glerkenwell-green and the Northern Roads.
This great intended improvement has been submitted to tl,e
Members for the Cities of London and Westminster, the adjoining
Counties, and the Borough of Southwark, who, together with many
other Members of Parliament, have expressed their highest appro-
bation of the measure.
Careful and accurate Surveys have been made by Mr. Papworth,
an eminent Surveyor, who has clearly demonstrated that the ground
rents for the frontages will produce an ample revenue to pay a re-
munerating interest fur the capital employed r the ground to be let
on building leases, which will affind, by the erections thereon, the
best possible security for principal and interest.
Persons desirous of becoming Shareholders will be pleased to
signify their intention by letter, addressed to the Secretary, Mr.
Robert Hall, at the Office of Mr. James Harmer, Solicitor, No.
87, Hatton-garden, where Plans may be seen, and Prospectuses
had on application.

The object of this Institution is to provide Places of Refuge for
Destitute Criminals of both Sexes, viz.: for those who have been
convicted, and after sentence passed have received his Majesty's,
gracious pardon ; or whose sentence has been respited by the
Judges, in order to afford them the means of reformation in the
Refuge; for those who have been recommended by Magistrates of
Police, in lieu of committing them to prison ; or who, having suf-
fered imprisonment, have no place of shelter alter their discharge,
except the haunts of persons living by depredation ; or to such as
have forfeited their character by dishonest practices, and, without
being prosecuted, have become outcasts upon the world.
Pt There are now, in the permanent establishment of the Refuge,
sixty-two persons of each sex • and in the temporary Refuges,
which are under the same discipline and superintendence, fifty-one
males and fifteen females, the whole of whom are taught to read
and be conversant with the Holy Scriptures; habituated to reli-
gious exercises ; strictly trained in the practice of every moral
duty ; qualified to earn their bread by some useful trade or occu.
patron ; and when considered duly prepared to resist the allure-
ments of evil association, and to become honest members of society,
placed out in respectable service or employment.
Since its establishment, snore than 1,800 persons of the above
description have been admitted to a participation of the privileges
of this Institution.
Donatioos and Subscriptions are received by the Treasurer, Ed-
ward Forster, Esq. 11, Mansion-house-street, and by most of the
Bankers in Town and Country ; by the Stewards and Committee ;
at either Refuge ; and by the Secretary, 36, Horton-square. of
whom an account may be had of the nature, views, and favourable
effects of the Refuge, with a List of the Subscribers, &c.
