The West of Ireland Land Investment Company propose to pur-
chase some of the largaand valuable estates in tee West of Ireland,
which are now in the ;market, and to improve and let on lease, or
resell the same.
In no part of the British Empire can land be obtained on such
easy terms, and witn such present and prospective advantages.
At no tormer period has so favourable an opportunity been pre-
sented Oa' making eligible land investments in Ireland.
It is a strange hut unquestional le truth, that at the present mo-
ment several hundred thousand acres of good reclaimable laid may
be boueht in Ireland at prices scat cely higher than emigrants are
compelled to pay for cleared land in our colonial back settlements.
Owing to the b•gal difficulties that existed until lately to prevent
tlaetransfer,ofl.ndedproderty in Ireland, and the exaggerated value
generally placed upon it by its nomnal owners, it was deemed hope-
less by English capitalists to seek permment Investments there,
especially as the number of pauper tenants, in many instances, was
so great as to make the Estates almost valueless, and to prevent
all attempts at the introduction of au improved system of agri-
culture.
Ihe successful operation of the Encumbered Estates' Court, the
remarkable decrease of the labouring classes of the Irish population
exhibited by the late Census, and the universal desire to emigrate
that now exists amongst the peasantry, solve the chief difaculy in
the problem of It eland's physical and social regeneration, and re-
move the must formidable obstacle to English enterprise in that
quarter ; the only one where it has hitherto been conquered by the
mere force of circumstances.
The province of Connaught'has been chosen because it offers un-
questionably a preeminently suitable field tbr the purposes of the
Company, and still more because of the uniformly peaceful, loyal,
and tractable character of its inhabitants.
Practical Agriculturi ts, Travellers, and Tourists of all Nations
have concurred in bearing testimony to tree unparalleled scope for
remunerative investment, which the counties of Galway, Mayo,
Sligo, Roscommon, a' d Leitrim, present to parties possessing ade-
quate means and ability to reclaim and cultivate the soil, and deve-
lope the various industrial resources in which this highly favoured
district abounds.
The prindipal reasomwhy a larger number of English and Scotch
farmers have not been, induced to take advantage of this splendid
opening for the profitable employment of their skill and money, has
been their reluctance to become isolated settlers In a country where
their individual efforts could effect little in improving the cultivation

of the soil, or in the diminution of the poor-rates ; whilst they en-
tertain considerable apprehension tor the safety of their persons and
property, without the co-operation and protection of men possessing
like habits and sympathiks, and engaged in the pursuit of similar
objects.

The Directors confidently hope that the project now laid before
the public will effect the enlarged realization of the celebrated pro-
position of Sir Robert repl for the improvement and colonization of
Co.inaught.
The absence of Afarkets has hitherto done much to deter persons
from becoming settlers, or engaging in,any industrial enterprise in
the West, this has been mainly attributable to the want of sufficient
internal communication and means of intercourse with the metro-
polis ; the latter impediment to progress has already been removed
in a great measure by the recent improvements in the navigation
of the Shannon and the Western Lakes, and by the opening of a line
of Railway from Galway to Dublin ; while the now probable realiza-
Mon of the long-desired steam communication with America is
another obvious source of a hitherto unknown prosperity.
The most effectual mole of promoting a better system of Agricul-
ture is to bring it into immediate connexion with the manufacture
of its own productions; the Company will therefore encourage the
growth of sach Commercial Plants, as may form the basis of exten-
sive and highly remunerative Manufactures.
It was the original intention of its promoters, that the Company
should itself undertake these manufactures, but upon more mature
deliberation, it has been deemed prudent to limit its objects, and de-
vote its attenti fri to the reclaiming, improvement, and reselling of
land alone; at the same time that it is prepared to promote by all
the means in its power the cultivation of root and textle plants so
peculiarly suited to the soil and climate of Western Ireland, as
Sugar-beet, Flax, Chicory, &c., &c.

It is needless to insist upon the great advantages of a Royal
Charter, by which the liability of a shareholder is limited to the
amount of his shares, but even were this out of the question, it
would be difficult to obtain a better security for the outlay of
capital than improvable land at its present prices in Western Ireland.

A clause in the Charter provides for the allocation of one-fourth
of the subscribed capital as an " Improvement Fund," to be ex-
pended in effecting surface and arterial drainage, reclaiming, and

generally improving and rendering marketable- the estates of the
Company.

It is further provided, than on the sale of any of the lands of the
Company, the produce is to be either divided rateably among the
shareholders, or re-invested in further purchases.

The Din ciors feel that it does not become them to speak of the
amount 01 anxiety and deliberation which they have bestowed in
framing a plan at once practicable in its details, and worthy o
public confidence, but they think that it ought to be known as a fac
alc:dated to encourage those who embark their capital in this un
dertaking, that the present ,s the only scheme out of many which
have been submitted to the Hoard of Trade, whose professed objects
and proposed operations have rust the approbation of her Majesty s
Government, as testified by the grant of a Royal Charter and the ap-
pointment of a Government Auditor.
In a review of Mr. Dighy Seymour's recent work* on Western
Ireland, the " Bankers' Magazine" (Jan. 12552), after stating that
the Reviewer's intention was to treat the question " simply as a
financial one," thus emphatically pronounces its opinion upon the
present scheme, " We believe it has a claim en the attention of
capitalists that wil ensure its success." Other authorities abound
to express,ons of a similar confidence, but the Directors feel that a
simple statement of the views they entertrin, and the objects of the
present undertaking, will not require the aid of authority, or any
argument on their parts to ensure its favourable reception with a
discerning public.

They would, in conclusion, adopt the language of Mr. Seymour
who thus sums un his argument in favour a Land Company,
conneaion with Western Ireland:

"A Land C,,mpany, possessing a large tract of country, lestablsh-
ing the best system of 'Agriculture, working its Mines and Fisheries—
ii such there were—introducing new and important manufactures—
its whole economy anministered by men of skin, rectitude, and per-
severance - promoting habits of industry most effectually by insur-
ing permanence of employment—opening fr. sh markets in conse-
quence of the large operations which it alone, possessing an ample
capital, could effect —lncumbered by nu poor-rate, because employ-
ing the poor—to. powerful for the attempts of petty prejudices —too
self-reliant to be detetreil from its path by intimidation—uninflu-
enced itselt by sectarianism, in politics or religion, and offering no
impersonation of hostility, but approving itself to the good feeling
of all by its practical patriotism—possessing the advantage of
united counsels and associated energies—attracting to itself the
hopes of all good men, and the confidence of the community—able in
its collective capacity to approach the Government with such claims
to a fay..arable attention as no private individual could advance—
contemporaneous'y developing all the resources,
geolo-
gical, and manufacturing, of its possessions—I say that such a Com-
pany can alone undertake, with just hopes of success, a project at
once so form' agricultural,
dahle in its ditilculties—so profitable as a m. de of in-
ves.ment—so full of immediate blessings, and of future hopes—in
its conception, peradventure, weak and unimposing—in its execu-
tion, I trust, spirited and energetic -in its consummation, I would
pray, the harbinger of a nobler and happier destiny for reclaimed and
regenerated Ireland !"

This work contains a plain and complete description of the ana.
tomy and physiology of the reproductive organs, and of their relative
conditions in health and disease. Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the
highest medical honours, as evidenced by the diplomas and testimo-
nials inserted in the work, is the only legally qualified medical man
who has exclusively, and for many years, devoted his studies to the
treatment of these complaints. He may be consulted with advan-
tage by all those whose constitutions may have become debilitated
through secret practices acquired in youth, or by the excesses of
later years, whereby the pleasures of life are marred, the objects of
marriage frustrated, and existence itself rendered a term of anew's-
ng misery and regret.
