At a time when the advantageous employment of money itt so
difficult. that it is forced into foreign coutstnes for the temporary
and uncertain benefit of a higher interest than is afliteded in the
English Fonda. a more appropriate and .mitre investment has pre-
sented itself in the formation of a West India Company, which, at
the tune time that it will give an impulse to long-mtablivlied
sources of British production and wealth, will secure a liberal re-
turn of profit.
This (*tympany is instituted for the purpose of receiving consign.
memo of West India produce. in return for advances to be made on
mortgage and other good security. upon such a scale as will afford
an adequate profit on the capital employed ; and also of making
temporary advances upon the assignment of mortgages bearing co-
lonial interest, with collateral ventrity.
One material circumstance in favour of such an investment is,
that the pmiits of the Company, instead of bring diminished, will
be conwlerably increased in the event of war.

The establishment of this Company will be as advantageous to
all persons interested in the Colonies as to the Subscribers. It is
antsciptted that immediate activity will be given to the circulation
of Colonial property by ill- advances which the Company will
make to parties who ran offer adequate security with constgunients
of produce; this will have the effect of maintaining the fair value
of West India Estates, and thus operate favourably on the condi.
Lion of the negro population, which is intimately connected with,
and in • great inrmilre dependent on, the prosperity of the master.
It is proposed Mu there shall be Eight Presidents and Four
Auditor', and the atliirs of the Company will be condensed by
Twenty-four Directors, of whom Twelve only shall be West India
Ilerchanta.

of Forty Thousand Shares of 11101. each, on which a deposit of DS.
is to be paid. ill. thereof at the time of subscribing, and M. on or

front the Ihrectoni, will be called for, as the business of the Com-
pany may require.
11m Institution having received the approbation of Govern-
ment, a Dill is preparing for the pure rte of fuming a Joint
Stock, to he vested in the Company by Act of Parliament, 1. -
ing the liability of the Proprietors to the amount of their respec-
tive Shares.

Ant year ; after whirl' such part of the profits, not etereding three-
Statist, as the Directors may think fit, shall he divide I ; and at

powerful stimulus to die study of the Gennan Flute. that any per-

attain such a proficiency as to be able to play an acconipaninient
with a body at the Piano-forte, or to take a part in a quartett or
Overture. Time and Tone, the ground-work so indispensably
