GRAND CORN/ISn UNION.—
Capital, 250,0001.—Shares, 251. each.—Deposit 51. per
Share. Two month's notice of each call. Not more than 151.
per Share will be called for within the two first years.
The formation of the Cornish Union was decided upon seve-
ral years since, but with the determination not to submit it to
the public until many of the Mines should be proved and
brought into such a state of forwardness as not only.to divest
them of their character as speculation, but to ensure the con-
siderable and frequent dividends from their profits at an early
period after the distribution of the Shares to the public:
Applications for Shares will be received by Messrs. Sursom
and Postlethwaite, Lombard-street, and by Messrs. Sir John
Perring, Bart., Shaw, Barber and Co. Cornhill, until this Day.
By order,
R. E. SPURRING, Secretary.

BBL', in soliciting attention to the present
Lottery, begs to remind the Public of the great Luck
that attended his Offices, in the Sale of Capitals drawn on the
15th of July last, and regrets to add, that Parliament has de-
termined to abolish Lotteries for ever at the Conclusion of the
present Drawings.
The popular attractions of late Schemes are not only retained
in the One to be decided This Month, but by adding to the
number of Prizes, and increasing the value of Capitals, this
Scheme contains the unprecedented Sum of

IN 1 8,1201
Including- .£lOO,OOO in Four Magnificent Prizes of
£25,000 £25,000
£25,900 £25,000
Besides the usual Number of other Prizes, and NO BLANKS !
