SECRETARY—James Murdoch, Esq.
The barony and estate of Islay comprising the island of Islay
and smalradiacent islands is in the same latitude as Edinburgh and
Glasgow, and is one of the richest and most productive properties in
the west of Scotland. It co 'tains about 140,000 acres, of which
14,000 arc arable, the rest being luxuriant pasture.
The present rental of this magnificent property amounts at present
to 20,0001.; but a Government grant of 30,0001. is now being ex-
tended in drainage an I Improvements. The rents are periodically
and legitimately increased as the leases fall in, and it is evident that
such a property must, under improved agriculture, afford it much
larger return. The purchase, it is expected, will be effected for
about 500,0001., and it is proposed to raise a capital for this purpose,
and contingent expenses, of GOO,OOO/., in 12,000 501. shares, each
shareholder to nominate a life, au-i the whole body of nominees to
be insured out of the rental, so as to secure the repayment of his
subscription to every shareholder whose nominee lapses. The
remainder of the accumulated rental is to be divided very ten years
amongst the surviving shareholders, the last survivor to inherit the
estate. On the basis of 12,000 p dicies, in respect of the 12,000
nominees, it is further contemplated to ingraft the general busins ss
of a life assurance company, so as to secare an annual dividend of
profits. •

Thus it will be seen that every person taking a share in the Ton-
tine, will, under any circumstances, receive back the amount of his
investment out of the assurance fund, and will also, by way of in-
terest on his shares, receive an annual dividend out of the profits of
the general life assurance department (and the basis and guarant,e
indicated cannot tail to make this branch most extensive and 'ucra-
tive) ; he will, moreover, participate, every ten years his nominee
survives, in the accumulated and constantly improving rental ; and,
la the ev, nt of his nominee being the last survivor, will become
the abso'ute owner, in fee simple, of the entire estate. It is also
to be observed that, as the nominees diminish in number, the
Marketable value of the shares will year after year be greatly en-
The principles of the proposed Tontine have been maturely con-
sidered by F. G. P. Nelson, Esq., the eminent actuary of the Me-
dical and Invalid Assurance Company, and recelv..d his entire ap-
probation.
The estate is to be vested in three trustees, resident in Scotland.
The affairs of the Society shall be conducted by a board of seven
directors in Scotland, commuidcating with a board of correspondence
in London. Two general meetings shall be held in Scotland in the
months of June and December.
The preliminary deposit to be ss. per share (being the maximum
allowed under the Registration Act), and a call of 11. per share shall
be made en complete registration. The remainder to be called up
by Buell instalments as may be found necessary to meet the payment
of the purchase money.

They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be
mislingulshed from the originals by the closest observer; they will
teethe and will be found very superior to any
of rn ever before used. This method does not require the extraction
ots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve
that aro loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and
Mastication.
Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mastication.

A R R I A G E.
M One halt the world are desolately single, and the other
RlPPostag them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
tense et right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
Etter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the pie,
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
eomprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happine=
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes et
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, ii
