'['HE Sheriffs of this populous City sad County
11. Sr.. in the execution of then office, necessarily brought
ultra contact with numerous cases of accumulated misery and
dovss; but they are at present unprovidisrl with any effectual
Otani of alleviation or relief. To establish a permanent Fund
for this purpose, the present Shen& appeal to the benevolence
of their reline Citizen., and of she Public at large; pledging
themselves to render, from tune to time, such public remittent
the disposition of the ntooies •ntrusted to vicar care, as shall at
ogee prove the necessity for the existence of such a tund, and
abundantly repay W AU feeling minds the amount of their do-
nations. . .

lt is to the contemplation of the Sheriffs to waist, rather than
to counteract, the designs of the various excellent Institininns
already flourishing in and near the metropolis. Yet, as these
objects of relief come immediately within their cognisance,
they conceive that their opsenqunities of alleviating the oust-
ries occasioned by *ice, or imprudence, am likely in maim
cases to be mote prompt and efficacious; and that, by beset
thus enabled to co-operate in their official capacity with the
labours of those benevolesit societies, great numbers's( unfor-
tunate persons, of both sexes, frisn infancy to decrepitude, may
every year be rescued, sr reclaimed, who would otherwise
perish fee want, or become nuisances to society.
Subscription's' and communications are received by the pre-
sent Sheriffs, C. Smith, E-q. Queen-street; and Richard Phil.

THE •114fORTATION OF FORT, MADEIRA, AND
SHERRY WINES, FREE FROM ALAILTb:RATION,

THIS CON4PANY having beta hononved by
the sanction of the most discerning and caution chap
racists, will continue a then time longer in receive Aep.oits for
Shares. To those yet unacquaintet with the Plan, it in., is
proper to announce, that the grand object is, to -uptat
ners,, and all Retailers, as well as the Public, wish Wine in
the genuine state, as hnported front Madeira sod P.ietugal
Thus, the tables of the diluent will be enriched with a pure
juice; while the invalid may be einsideet, that
by menthe( to Wine as a Medicine, he will dense all the
benefit which, by its invigorating, eisliventilg queries, it a ca-
pable of imparting.
The Capital is to be 3000.1001 to be raised in 301. Shares ;
11. deposit at the time of subscribing ; 91 in a innate ; 31. in
two nwatha 31 in three months; JI. 13 four, "oaths
41. in WS months; and no call to exceed N. per cent. too
be oftener repeated than four times in • year. The advantag-
to kis accrued by subseribiog to this institution is obvious; as,
without risk, it Si fairly estimated, Si) per abet. will be gained
on each Share.
Although the Company are fully aware of the filiation re
seeding Portugal, and the difficutly of uistaioing Wine thence,
should the French gain the ascendancy, yet they doubt not,
let tbe fate ni that country be what it may, they shall be abl•
to pro:we wine; fur it is well known, that the nifficuits ha.
been bet trivial in procuring Brandy trona Prance, notwith-
standing the war; diming which, this t.nhoserea has
aridly lathed. The Public rasp be assiriesi,tesat the best Wine
will always be procured fur toady money ; and this Company,
by peowaslng a Large capital, will keep it to a sinker matu.isy,
and sorinouut many obstacles that aught be fatal to cidniviusi
