The Committee have great pleasure in announcing that the esti-
mates, which have been some time in preparation are now com-
pleted, and fully prove that by ad pting a new principle of charge
(in one payment) the public interest and the profit of their share-
holders will be largely promoted.
The calculations, which apply to their first establishment at Wood-
ford, show that upon an unusually small proportion of burials, at
least 12 per cent. per annum will be realised during 350 years, In
which period the ground will be fully occupied, while upon the pro-
bable proportion of burials it would exceed 20 per cent. per annum
during 250 years, even at a reduction of prices.
The particulars and prospectuses may be bad of Messrs. Dour-
dillon and Sons, solicitors, 30, Great Witiche,ter-street ; J. 11. Ste-
vens, Esq , architect, 6, Clement's Inn ; and of the Secretary, at the

THE CURTAIN; or, ENGLISH ENTR'-
ACTE.
_ .. _

On MoxDAT, January 18, (and with the Morning Papers daily,)
will be published No, I. of the CURTAIN; or, English Entr'Acte,
price One Penny.
In announcing the early appearance of this long-desired addition
to our daily literature, it seems only necessary to remark, that with
all the attractions usually offered to the reading public, TIIE CUR-
TAIN addresses itself more peculiarly to three classes :-
1. To the Lover of the Drama, in all its varied forms of Tragedy,
Comedy, Opera, Farce, Vaudeville, and Ballet, it will present a
complete herald and record of every occurrence of interest in the
vast theatrical world.

2. To the Literary, to all who love to trace the workings of fancy,
or relish wit and humour. abundant food will be offered and sup-
plied from the pens of the most celebrated and popular writers of
our time. . . .

3. To advertisers it will prove of the highest importance, as a 've-
hicle for the widest possible dissemination of their announcements,
and afford the most unwonted facilities, inasmuch as, independent
of its general circulation, TIIE CURTAIN will, by exclusive and
express appointment of the several managements, be sold nightly,
as in Paris, in every theatre in the metropolis ; and on the first day
of publication, no less a number than Ten Thousand will be gra-
tuitously distributed in the various theatres.
