r HIS COMPANY has been established for thopnr-
-1 chase of Annuities, to be secured on Freehold, Copylsold or
Leasehold Property, in the linked Kingdom of Great Britian LW
Ireland; on Money in the Funds; Parish Bonds; Turnpike
Tolls; andother descriptions of eligible Property.
In addition to this plan of investment, the Company will purchase
Reversions, Ground Rents, Comingencies, Lift Annuities, already
granted by Insurance and other Companies, Pensions granted by
Government, Life Interests, Survivorships, and every similar de-
scription of Property, by which the Capital of the Company
be securely Ind profitably invested, for the benefit of ligir
Share-
holders. Some of the advantages which the establishnseut of this
.1.410010 i 0 dig rPlik, aim, the atetimidirip of tbaants of
annuity interest; protection hom the elosetiems or assiagents,
and enormous legal charges ; and the certainty of procuring, with-
out delay, on every description of eligible security, a fair sad rate-
able advance of Capital on the Property offered. 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,
advanced by way of Annuity in Eng-land, including Insurance,
where necessary, has been from 7 to 12. 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 1823, was 1467; and exceeded in number and
ardount those granted in 1819, 1829, 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 Securities.

TbeCoospany thus established, will be governed by a Board of
Directors, acting under the authority of the Legislature, for whose
sanction application will be this day made.
The Capital is Three :Million. Sterling, in 60,000 Shares, of 501.
each, with liberty fur the Directon to extend the amount commen-
surate with the demands of the Public.

The Shareholders in the Company to whom Shares have been
allotted, are apprised that the Snit call of Two Pounds per Share,
must be paid on or before the 10th May instant, either to Mews.
Sir W. Kay, Bart Price, Marryat and Coleman, Bankers, No. I,
Mansion House-street, to Messrs. Sir John Peering, Bart., Shaw,
Barber, and Co., Bankers, 72, Combat, or to a Committee of
Directors, who will meet at their present offices, N 0.36, New Broad-
street, on Tuesday the 4th, Thursday the 6th, Saturday the Bth.
and Monday the 10th 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 are 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 Proprietors prefer having the number 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 2L per Share shall have ban paid, shall
prefer having his number reduced to 30, instead of paying 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.

Ladies and Gentlemen of being deceived by purchasing Bear's
Grease, which the Venders say is of his importation, he begs
respectfully to inform the public that the genuine is inclosed in a
wrapper with his signature and address. The lowest price pot is
2s. 611., the next size 4s.
This article is prowired from the animal in its native climate,
that being the state in which it is recommended by Physiologists.
It is sold genuine as imported, without alteration or addition of
any kind, except a little perfume to keep It sweet.

litir R. JOHN CLARK Slate with Mr. Cartwrigh,),
IVI SURGEON DENTIST, No. 19, Montague-street, Rus.
sell-square, removed from Southampton-row, takes leave to as
quaint the Nobility and Gentry that he continues to supply the
loss of Teeth in a most superior manner, either with natural or
artificial Teeth, on moderate Terms ; and that no charge will be
made to any person not fully satisfied with the utility and comfort
to be derived therefrom.
John ('lark presumes he hardly need assure those who have never
availed themselves of such assistance, that they may be put in and
worn without the least pain or inconvenience ; and, as the wiry
great improvement in the method of fixing precludes the pomfM.
lily of discovery by the closest observer, and their utility to insure
the proper degree of mastication taking place before the food is re-
ceived into the stomach for digestion, which is so essential to health
(particularly at an advanced period of life when the action of the
stomach requires every assistance), ought alone to be a sufficient
inducement for overcoming any prejudice which may exist against
them ; independently of the great advantage derived from them
in the proper articulation and modulation of the voice.
John Clark particularly exhorts Parents and Guardians to bear
in mind, that a little timely assistance rendered to Children from
the age of six to fourteen years, will insure the greatest beauty and
uniformity to their Teeth.
N.B.—Extracting, stopping decayed Teeth, and cleaning,
executed on the most safe and correct principles.

oe This Work is the result of several years' practical observa-
tion. Its obvious utility and general interest .111 instantly occur
to the reader ; it being a curious fact, that while an enlarged taste
fee Botany has been directed, both scientifically and popularly, to
almost every buena of its extensive province, this particular do.
Mtuent has been most neglected, the proper selection of fruit trees
glgenerally very imperfectly understood, a deficiency which it
is the object of the present work to supply.

o,• This Work will be found to offer great facilities to those
Ladies and Gentlemen who attend personally to the cultivation of
their own gardens and pleasure-grounds; the names of the plants
being arranged alphabetically under their respective heads. Follow-'
rig the generic name are the classes and orders; and after each
specific name are enumerated the native country, the height of
growth, and the colour of the flower. The want of sad; • compen-
dium has been long experienced.

.The Mills will not only produce Flour equal to the ittet-rate
Water or Wind Mills, but by the simple movement of an effectual
Regulator, are instantly adapted for grinding every sort of Orain_.-
Rice, Coffee, spices, Drugs, &c.
The small !hill iscontained in a neat iron cue, measuring only
13 inches by H, and 10 inches deep ; and the large 31111 in a aimilz:r
case, measuring 19 inches by I?, and 17 inches deep.
To Private Families, Boarding Schools, &c., where a whole-
some, unadulterated Flour is truly desirable, these Mills are
Toracommencled.
To Loon-owners Fanners, &c. who are obliged to send out
their Corn to be ground, they will be found most advantageous and
amunient,

To all Public Establishments, Penitentiaries, 'Workhouses, Pr:-
sons, ke. where economy and industry are so requisite, their utility
is so obvious, that it needs no comment._

Emigrants to the Cape, North and South America, Van Dic-
man's Land, Aa will find great inconvenienco, and, in some in-
stances, an impossibility of getting corn ground ; in such • skim-
tion, the Company's Mills would be found an acquisition beyond
all description.
They are also particularly suitable for the East and West Indies,
and for the use of the Army and Navy ; as also for Ships on long
Tomes. And finally—
To Merchants, Captains, and others, as an advantageous article
of commerce, these Mills are well worthy of notice.

IF A PRINCE DOES NOT PLEASE THE LADIE:',
WHO SHOULD? A. P. not only pleases the Ladies, but
also the Ladies' Maids. Hundreds of Indies of Title hare expe-
rienced that PRINCE'S RUSSIA OIL is a great preserver and
er of the Hair ; and as it is rather thick to take out of the
CiTe°,tthe Ladies' Maids find it is troublesome in dressing their
Ladies' hair. The Proprietor has therefore now clarified and im-
proved the Russia Oil. and it pours out of the bottle like cream,
which has made it the pleasantest and unrivalled Oil for dressing
the hair, as it will always keep the head and hair clean, beautiful,
and in curl : in short, the Royal Family, Nobility, (sentry, &c.
may rely upon it they will not have a hair fall off or turn grey, by
using Prince's celebrated Russia Oil, which is so improved, that
it has made it the greatest nourisher and preserver to the hair in the
universe; will make it grow thick and long, and preserve it horn
falling di' or 'ever turning grey, and is such a nnurisher to the
roots of the hair, that even it it had began to turn grey, it will
restore it again to its natural colour, by keeping the head moist
for about a month with the oil. It Is sure to clear the scurf from
infancy to old age—will restore the hair on bald places, if there in
the least sign of roots, by also keeping the head constantly moist
for about a month with the oil, which hundreds of Gentlemen have
experienced.
Ask for Prince's Improved Russia Oil. The ounce bottle,
five shillings ; a large bottle, containing five ounces,one pound, is
a
sa
Sovldin g. by the sole Proprietor, A. Prince, No. 9, l'olard.street,
Oxford-arreet, London : 26, London-road ; and by most principal
Perfumers sad Medicine Venders.
Be particular, and observe" Prince" on the Wrapper and Seals ;
and his address, " A. Prince, 9, Poland-street, Oxford-street,
London," is on the cover of each bottle--without, it is not
genuine, and cannot answer the purpose. Purchasers ought to be
particular, as Counterfeits are in circulation.
Englishmen, as well as other nations, onght to be acquainted
with the following : —lt is well known in Russia that Been'
Grease is too harsh for the hair, and makes the hair turn grey and
fall off. This is well known; the Emperor Alexander, and pc:-
sons of distinction, lost their hair at an early age through using
the Bear's Grease—and whoever recommends it for the hair,
must do it for imposition; but Prince's celebrated Russia Oil
is warranted not to contain any Bears' Grease whatever, but
the greatest nourishing ingredients for the hair ; and if they
want the genuine Rogan Oil in Russia, or any other part of the
globe, they mast send to A. Prince, 9, Poland-street, Loodon,
for it, and it is the only article that actually preserves and pro:notes
the hair.

Gentlemen of the Medical Hall hare analysed Prince's Russia
Oil—haye published In the " Gazette of Health." No. 1 i. that
the discovery is a great credit to the Proprietor, and is superior
to any oil for the hair, and will do, in caws of baldness and
weak hair, what can possibly be done in strengthening and re-
storing it. The Medical Gentlemen have also analyzed another
Oil, which is daily puffed in the Papers, as used by Emperors.
Kings, Dukes. de. &a and have published in the •• Gazette of
Health," No. 12, that on examining the ingredients of this grand
Oil, they find it contains only common oil, coloured and per-
fumed : therefore it cannot be compared to the Russia Oil, as a
nourisher to the hair.

dared, that whenever they have landed merchandizo, they have been

will find an advantage in exporting it.—Merchants and Captains
will receive a liberal allowance for ezporiation.

Lord Mayor of London, that .'t. Prirce ;.; the original Proprietor in

is hereby publicly pronounced they are impostors, as they not only

twenty years, above Fifty Thousand Pounds in advertising to mem'
