SOLICITORS.
Messrs. Tiurgoynes, Thrupp, and Clark, 16^, Oxford-street
Westbourne-terrace is confl ssedly one of the finest ranges of build-
ings in the metropolis. Its proximity to Hyde-park and Kensington-
gardens, great width, elevation, and gravelly soil, and the very
elegant and commodious arrangement of the interior of the man-
sions, present a combination of attractions which must render it a most
valuable investment. _ _

The property is held under leases of ninety-eight years, from
Michaelmas, 1839.

It co isists of seventy-three first class mansions, of which many
are already occupied at good rents, and the whole range is to be
completely finished, including fixtures, before the 25th December,
1846.

It is now proposed to constitute a Company for the purchase of the
leases at the price of 370,00,1. The report of Mr. Stevens, surveyor
of the Royal Exchange Assurance Corporation, shows that at the
estimated rental it will yield at least five per cent. to the Company.
The report, as well as a lithographic view of the property, may be
seen at the solicitors'.

It is also proposed, that the Company shall be constituted on the
principle of a Tontine. That principle may be shortly described as
follows :—Each shareholder nominates a life in respect of every
share. By the falling in of the life so nominated the share lapses to
the Company, so that the benefit of the fund is continually in-
creasing to those whose nominated lives survive. Thus estimating
the net rental of the mansions in Westbourne-terrace to be included
in the Tontine at 18,0001. per annum, and presuming that at the
end of a certain number of years three lives only survive, repre-
senting an equal amount of shares, the shareholders, whose
nominees they are, will take the 18,0001. per annum, in equal thirds,
and the last surviving life will be entitled to the whole for the resi-
due of the ninety-eight years' lease.
_

lay this arrangement the shareholders respectively receive a fair
interest for their money, with the certainty of a continual increase.
The investment is manifestly a most desirable one where the object
is to secure a provision fora child or children, because by nominating
puch child or children there must necessarily be a good income for
such as survive.

When the houses are all let at the rents respectively assigned to
them, the net receipts will amou.tt to 20,5691. It is not intended,
however, to divide, in any one near. the whele of the rental, but to
form a Reserved Fund, to be distributed as a bonus amongst the
survivors at the end of every seventh year, and a Guarantee Fund to
meet contingencies, the ultimate balances of which tunds will be
delivered over to the last survivor with the other property.
The proprietor of every share of 1001, will have the privilege of
nominating one life at any time previous to the 24th December,
1846 ; and should the nominee die lie:ore 1144 s clay, then another
life may be substituted, so that ail the subscsibers may he on an
equal tooting on the 25th December, 1846, the 'day from which the
rents will be receivable by the Company.
Two Assurance Societies have already offered to assure the lives of
nominees of from five to twenty years of age, at the moderate rate
of 1 per cent.

11 proper Deed of Settlement will be prepared under the direction
of the Committee, and settled by counsel, which will contain all
necessary powers for regulating the constitution of the Company,
and for enabling the proprietors at any time to dissolve the same and
divide the proceeds.

The property will he conveyed to trustees, and the management of
the affairs of the Company will he vested in a Committee, to be
chosen by the shareholders from their own body, one-third of whom
will retire each year, and be re-eligible.
Applications for shares must be made, in the undermentioned
form, and left, under cover, at the offices of Messrs. Burgoynes,
Thrupp, and Clark, No. 160, Oxtbrd-str-et.

The houses may be seen by applying to Mr. Thompson, Architect
and Surveyor, No. 2, Conduit-street West, Hyde-park; or to J.
Tippets, No. 34, Westbourne-terrace.

Offices of the Company and Working Factories,y 159, Drn7-lane.

The Company is formed for the purpose of carrying out, more ef-
fectually working, and bringing NM general use, an invention se-
curod by letters patent for an improved manufacture of gas.
The apparatus is so portable it can he fitted up on any descrip-
tion of building, even at a kitchen range, without affecting the do-
mestic arrangements, and the lire used in ordinary in generating the
gas will be ample to produce steam for warming the most extensive
premises.

The most eminent engineers and chemists unite in opinion that
the invention is not only practicable and free from smell or annoy-
ance, but by this valuable patent is secured the manufacture of a
pure sad super for gas, not only on new, but sound, scientific, chemical,
and mechanical principles, which have been hitherto overlooked in
the common modes of manufacture ; besides, this gas possesses more
of the illuminating power, and will burn longer, than that now in use,
in the proportion of 40 per cent. in favour of the invention.
The patent method ; pplicable ,o lighting generally, but more
especially small towns, villages, lighthouses, colleges, churches, dock-
yards, theatres, public offices, prisons, barracks, railway stations,
m mufactories, printing-affices, madhouses, hospitals, and schools,
&c., and warming the buildings, without extra expense.
The benefits which would accrue to lighthouses, dockyards, and
numeroty localities, where the ordinary gas cannot he conveyed
without the formation of many new Acts and Companies, or at im-
mense expense, would be sufficient to obtain for this Company the
most prominent and prosperous position.

The great saving to the consumer, the small portion of room requi-
site for the erection of the apparatus, the simplicity of its working,
and the brilliancy of the gas, will insure the adoption of the invention
throughout the kingdom ; and although the public can be supplied at
a price which will defy competition, the Company can confidently
hold out to those disposed to become shareholders a return upon
their capital of not less than fifty per cent.
The Company being far advanced, wM be Ina situation, when fully
registered, to take contracts immediately.
Applications for shares, in the usual form, to be made to, and
ftrther particulars obtained of, the Solicitor, and also the Secretary,
at the Company's offices, where may be seen the apparatus at work,
and the brilliancy of the gas exemplified.
