added to his Stock several entirely new patterns of the above
articles, of unusual beauty and delicacy, which, combined with
his very choice collection of Jewellery and Sheffield Plate, are
respectfully submitted to the inspection of .the Nobility and
Gentry. As J. C. sedulously aims at permanency of connexion
rather than chance business, he carefully excludes all goods not
calculated to render substantial service.—John Cowie 's Silver,

The object of the Company is to carry into effect an Act
of Parliament obtained last session, to reclaim and bring into
a state fit for cultivation vast tracts of rich alluvial soil on the
borders of the above-named loughs, which are now dry or nearly
so at low water, amounting in extent to between 30,000 and
40,000 acres. _ _

These loughs are two of the finest harbours in the world;
they are situated in the counties of Donegal and Derry,
in the north of Ireland, in the immediate neighbourhood
of the estates of the great London Companies, a part of the
country justly considered as the most thriving.
The city of Londonderry is close to some of the lands
proposed to be enclosed, and none of them are more than a
few miles from it. From this port there is a communica-
tion by well-appointed steam vessels several times a week to
Glasgow, Liverpool, &c., from which ports is is distant but a
few hours' sail.

The lands in question have been surveyed by Mr. Mac Neill
and other engineers of eminence, whose reports concur in stat-
ing that the proposed reclamation may be effected with cer-
tainty, at a given moderate expense, within three years from
the commencemeot of the work, and with great profit to the
subscribers ; indeed tenders have been already made for a part
of the work materially below the estimate of the engineer, and
to be completed within twelve months.
The whole will be reclaimed, brought into cultivation, and
onverted into money, within a period of five years.
The reports above referred to, with maps, plans, working
drawings, &c., &c., may be seen at Mr. Mac Neill's, 9, White-
hall-place, and at the Office of the Company ; where also may
be had a Prospectus, stating the terms entered into with the
projectors, and other particulars too long► for an advertisement,
according to the terms and conditions of which Prospectus tha
shares are offered to the public.
When calls amounting in the aggregate to 101. per share
shall have been paid, interest will be allowed thereon at the
rate of five per cent. per annum, payable half-yearly, and in
like manner on subsequent payments as they shall amount in
the aggregate to 101. per share, seeing that the land secured by
such outlay will be then in progress towardA yielding a return.
Applications for shares to be made by letter on or More the
21st instant, addressed to the Secretary of the Committee, 34,
Cornhill, and in the following form :
Gentlemen—We request yon will appropriate to us
shares, or such number thereof as you may see fit to give, in
the Lough Foyle and Lough Swilly Embankment Company ;
en which we undertake to snake the stipulated deposit of 21. 10s.
per share, and otherwise to conform to the terms of your ad-
vertisement.
