SECRETARY—James Dewar, Esq.

This Company, which is Incorporated by Act of Parliament,
with very extensive powers, has acquired the celebrated Seig-
niory of Beauharnois, in Canada, with Lands in the adjoining
Townships of Godmanchester and Hinchinbrooke, the whole of
which that now remains disposable, is hereby submitted to sale
ot the following
TEEMS AND CONDITIONS.

The whole of the disposable lands of the Company in the
Seigniory of Beauharnois, and the townships of Godmanchester,
Ilinchinbroke, and Clifton, are hereby offered for selection by
purchasers.
This territory consists chiefly of country lands, and partly of
lands which have been - reserved by the late prc.prietor in the
Midst of settled districts.
The whole of the Country lands, together with the 6,000
acres in Clifton, will be divided into sections of a hundred
Canadian acres each. * _ _

. The whole`quantity of Country lands being about 120,000
acres, the number of sections will be about 1,200.
The number of these sections now submitted for sale (to be
selected out of the whole, by purchasers, as hereinafter provided
for) is 1,000.
These 1,000 sections will comprise 100,000 acres of " avail-
able" lands—that is, exclusive of portions of an inferior quality.
• The Reserved lands will be divided into 2,000 sections ; and
two of these sections (to be selected by purchasers as herein-
after mentioned) will be attached to each Country land section
of 100 acres.
The sections of Reserved land will be of variable extent
according to ch cumstances ; smaller at Beauharnois, Ellice-
town, and oilier places where the establishment of towns has
begun er may be expected ; larger in the domain of Buisson
and at Grand Ile, which have been reserved, on account of the
eat beauty of the situations, as villa ground dependent on
teat
; but the whole will be so divided and laid out by the
Company, in Town, Village, and Villa lots, as to constitute
2,000 separate properties, of as nearly equal value as circum-
stances may admit; and all the 13 mills, together with all the
houses and buildings the property of the Company, and all the
finest sites for other mills, for villas, villages, and towns, &a.,
will be comprised in the Reserved lands laid open for selection
by purchasers,
Each property, therefore, will comprise a section of 100 acres
of Country lands and two sections of Reserved lands.
To the purchaser of each property the Company will deliver
a treble land-order, which will entitle the holder thereof, or
his agent, to select one Country land section of 100 acres and
two sections of Reserved land, in the manner following :
As soon as the whole of the land-orders shall be disposed of,
411' sooner, at the pleasure of the Company, public notice will
oe given of a day when the purchasers of land-orders, or their
agents, will be requested to meet in London for the purpose of
drawing lots for priority of choice.
The drawing of lots w ill take place in the presence of the
birectors, and in such manner as they shall determine.
Each holder of a treble land-order will draw three separate
lots. for priority of choice ; one for else 100-acre section of
land:(rye ands, and one for each of the two sections of Reserved
: th number of choices as to the Country lands being
1,000, or one for the holder of each land-order ; anti as to the
Reserved lands 2,000, or twe for the holder of each land-order.
The land-orders will be awarded according to priority of ap-
plication at the offices of the Company in London ; and for this
Purpose a registry of applications will be kept, which will open
to the inspection of purchasers for one week before the draw-
ing of lots for priority of choice. In case the deposit should be
Paid on more than the whole number of land-enders, the same
will be returned in full to those applicants whom the above rule
as to priority of application, may preclude from obtaining land-
orders.
The price of each land-order is 2001. ; and a deposit of 201.
must be paid to the Company's bankers before any application
tan be registered.
- The remainder of the purchase-money must be paid in full, on
a day of which public notice will be given, in order to entitle
purchasers to draw for priority of choice.
In case of non-payment of the remainder of the purchase-
bkstney after due notice, the deposit will be forfeited.
)..The whole of the lands offered for selection will be surveyed,
.1114 out, and mapped ; and the maps will be exhibited at Beau-
uartiols, to any holder of a land-order or his agent, during one
anonth before the day (of which ample public notice will be
given both in this country and in Canada) fixed for exercising
the rights of choice ; and the choice of sections, according to
the priority determined by lot in England, will be made at
Beauharnois, either by principals or agents, in such manner as
the Directors may determine, with a view to perfect fairness
and the general convenience of purchasers.
The choice will extend over the whole of the disposable lands
of the Company, without any reserve, excepting only so much
of the water privilege of the river St. Louis, at Beauharnois
Town, as may be necessary for public convenience.
As respects any land-order of which the holder may fail to
attend, either by himself or his anent, for the purpose of
'choosing his section, the choice will be made in the order pre-
l'iously determined by lot, by an officer of the Company spe-
cially appointed for that purpose.
The Company takes for itself one-tenth of the land-orders,
and will thus contribute, in the same proportion as every pur-
chaser, to the fund derived from this sale; and will draw lots
common with purchasers for priority of choice as to each of
Oa one hundred land-orders separately.
Out of the whole fund of 200,000/. thus raised, the Com-
tany hereby undertakes to dispose of the following sums in the
following manner ; that is to say—
st, 50,000/. as an investmsnt of capital on such works of
Public communication within the Company's territory, as
shall, is the opinion of the Directors, be most conducive to
;.eaen increase in the value of the lands now submitted for sale.
• °n'llY, 40,000/. in advances on loan to purchasers and other
settlers on the Company's territory, as capital for ,the
im-
•provement of land or construction of buildings ; such ad-
vances to be confined to persons investing a capital of their
Olvn in such operations.
dIY, 30,000/. towards defraying the cost of emigration from
the United Kingdom to the Company's territory, both of la-
, bonwers anti of capitalists intendirer to settle therets
r ourthly, 10,000/., to be contributed in such manner as the
Company shall direct, towards the emigration of ministers of
religion anti school-masters, and the building of places of
Worshiplnelitl.
T iel and schools, during the infancy of the new settle -
Company also undertakes to defray all the expenses of
surety,
allotment, and conveyance, to the holder of each land-
order.
The land-orders will be transferable at the pleasure of the
holders.
The houses, mills, and other buildings which may fall to the
,
of holders of land-orders, will be delivered to the purchasers
With the whole of their contents, including machinery, &e.
The whole of the live stock, implements, and contents of
blacksmiths' and carpenters' shops at Beauharnois, will be put
uh to sale by auction immediately after the choice of sections
shall have taken place according to the priority determined by
lot in England ; and the produce of such sale, deducting the
expenses thereof, will be paid over to the holder of that land-
order, or his agent, who shall have obtained the last choice
anion the 1,000 sections of country land ; unless such last
Choice should fail to the Company by lot, on account of its own
tenth of all the sections; in which case the produce of such
sale shall be handed over to the holder of the last right of
choice, saving the Company.
The Company positively engages that in exorcising the rights
of choice which may fall to its lot among the 2,000 sections of
reserved lands, it will not select any sections on which a build-
ing of any description may bs erected, but will leave all such
sections exclusively to the choice of holders of land-orders,
other than those held by the Company.
In the selection of emigrants of the labouring class, a pre-
ference will be given to such applicants as may be engaged to
work for capitalists about to settle in the Company's territory,
or as domestic servants in the families of settlers.

Each purchaser of one or more land-orders will be entitled
to claim from the Company, towards defraying the coot of emi-
gration for his family, or for a family to be nominated by him,
IfiL out of every 1001. of his purchase-money, provided that
such family settle on lands purchased from the Company.
Iu distributing the sum of 40,0001. set apart for loans to emi-
fruits, a preference will be given to those applicants who shall
'tare purchased lands from the Company, or be occupiers or
'Managers of lands purchased from the Company by persons
'continuing to reside in this country ; though in every such case
re proceedings of the Company must necessarily be governed
4lnquiry as to the character of the applicant and the nature of
4.. security that he may have to offer.
11l ease of any difference between the Company and the
holder of any land-order, the same shall be referred to the At-
torney.. General of the Province of Lower Canada, or of the
United Province of Canada for the time beirg, for his award,
'Which shall be final between the parties. And in case of any
error of description, quantity, or otherwise, the same shall not
htiate the agreement between the parties, but shall be deemed
lather for compensation, as may be agreed upon, or if the par-
ties should not agree, according to the award of 'the said Attor-
11°Y- General.
