'THURSDAY:

Strong as have been the claims of this favoured place of public
resort at the beginning of each season, the Proprietor feels justified
in asserting, that never before did it offer a tithe of the attractions
ft now presents. The Gardens have been complete.y renovated;
Statues and Fountains introduced, new and extensive Promenades
formed, and the most lavish expenditure in every department,
will evince the Proprietor's anxiety to insure a continuar•ce of public
Patronage.

LONDON IN THE OLDEN TIME!
Painted by Vanson and Telbin,
Is the most gigantie achievement ever yet produced, and fbr grandeur
of composition, fidelity of design, and beauty of execution, it far
exceeds any previous production. It accurately represents ancient
London—Old St. Paul's--Old Linden Bridge—Baynard's Castle, and
silt the principal Churches and Buildings of the locality, and may
with truth be designated the most wonderful production of mo-
dern times.
THE MENAGERIE, ALWAYS UNRIVALLED,
HAS RECEIVED MANY VALUABLE ADDITIONS.
To defy all competition, the Proprietor has engaged the celebrated
AMERICAN DWARF TJM THUMB!

Some evil-disposed persons set fire to a quantity of
wive and ling, on Mansfield Forest, on Sunday evening.
The wind being very high at the time, the tire raged
; • • ti,ith considerable violence, and tinged the sky around
with intense redneis. The fire might have been produe-
the of much damage, especially bad it communicated to
Eny o' the plantations in that part of the forest.—Not-

ALLOTMENT OF SHARES.
The application for Shares in this Company having exceeded, by
nearly fourfold, the number for distribution in England, the Directors
regret the impossibility of complying to the full extent of their wishes
with the numerous applications from individuals of the highest per-
sonal character or commercial standing. In apportioning the Shares
they have endeavoured to distribute them equitably, giving the pre-
ference to applicants who were either of well-known respectability,
or who gave reference to their bankers. Several applications were
most reluctantly, but necessarily, excluded from the list, in conse-
quence of informality, either by the signature not being attested, or
the document being mutilated, by separating the application from
the conditions upon which it was made. The Directors trust that
this notice will be sufficiently explanatory to those who may find
themselves but partially comprised in the allotment, or wholly
omitted from it.
