The aid of Agriculturists is looked for, because the labours of this
Society promise to render available to them millions of tons annually
.1 the most valuable manure, now worse than wasted.
And though this Society was formed rather on philanthropic than
on commercial principles, the Directors assure Capitalists who may
feel inclined to invest in the Stock of this Society, that they will
receive a quick and satisfactory return for any capital they may so
employ.

By order of the Court,
JAMES BLAKE, Secretary.

for six months, and the interest paid monthly, or accumulated half-
yearly, at the option of the depositor.

ported by two or more sufficient sureties as joint obligors, at five per
cent. interest on advances, and one per cent, commission on the
amount of the credit.
Advances or Loans en Promissory Notes with marketable securi-
ties readily convertible, will be made at the rates proportioned to
the nature and value of the security in each ease.

Remittances will be made to, and Bills collected ix, any place in
England, Scotland, or Ireland, where there is a banker.

pall up, in pursuance of the provisions contained in the Charter and
Deed of Settlement, by a deposit of 10s. a Sh ire, and C.:lls not ex-

Twenty-one Days' Notice of every Call is to be given to each

The First Call was payable on the 25th September, 1849.
This Society was formed for the purpose of beneficially employ-
ing the Irish peasantry in the manufacture of Peat Fuel and Peat
Charcoal from the Peat Bogs of Ireland, and, in the gradual, but
permanent, reclamation of the Bog Lands.
The Peat Charcoal thus produced is an article of con,idcra%le
commercial value for many purposes; and it has been shown by
recent public exhibitions, and any person who douh:s may satisfy
himself privately, that it is of ine.timahle value as a deodorizer and
disinfector of night soil, sshich immediately on being mixed with
the charcoal becom,s a dry inodorous powder, c ipable of being
handled without inconvenience and packed in bags and transmitted
by railway or any other conveyance.
The manure thus produced i, deernel by scientific men to be equal
if not superior in quality to Guano, and may be purchased at one-
fourth
The Eirectors have established these facts at their own risk,
having for some raot.ths past had an experimental Station at work
at Derrymullea, in the county of Kildare, where, in addition to
having satisfied themsalves that they can make Peat Charcoal
and sell it in London with a satisfactory profit at from 40s. to 50s. a
ton, their operations have proved that if duly sup-,,orte I by the
public, they will be able to employ constaitly and most beneficially
thousands of the half-starved and half naked Irish peasantry.
Tile system adopted and proposed to be acted upon by tht Society
in the employment of the labourers is task worth, with a fair remu-
neration in money; and the Directors feel bound to state, that so
far as they have been enabled to carry oust this system, they have
experienced from the labourers a degree of iniustry, alacrity, and
docility, for which they were totally unprepared. The people em-
ployed have by severe tabour clothed themselves and their faatilies.
cultivated their patches of land previously lying waste for
want of seed, and in sosne cases have purchased pits ; and they say
all they waut to make them happy is constant employment.
The Directors earnestly appeal to the pubic for support : to those
desirous of promoting the permanent welfare of Ireland, the oppor-
tunity is offered, by contributing to the funds of this Society, of open
ing up in that country a new field of useful and profitable labour, to
Which a limit can scarcely be assigned.
Those who feel interested in removing from the densely popu-
lated towns of England the cause of pestilence and death, may fur-
ther that object in the only rational, because the only natural way,
by assisting to provide the antidote.
