The SCOTTISH WIDOWS' FUND, and LIFE AS-
SURANCE SOCIETY, is the oldest Scottish establish-
ment for effecting assurances on lives and survivorships.—
From the nature of its constitution, (which is formed OH
the original model of the Equitable of Lendon,) it presents
advantages which no institution with which a body of pro-
prietors is connected can possibly offer. The rates of pre-
miums are lower than those of the Equitable, and the
whole profits belong to, and are divided periodically among
the assured. From this, it is evident that assurances are
effected at this office on the lowest possible terms ; any
surplus funds, above what is required to answer the actual
demands against the Society from losses, and the expense of
an economical management, being returned to the Mem-
bers. The rules of distribution of the surplus funds have
been formed upon the most equitable principles, by indivi-
duals of great skill and experience in such matters. At
the first periodical investigation of the affairs of the So-
ciety, Which took place at Ist of January 1825, in terms
of the articles of Constitution, there remained, after set-
ting apart one-third of the free surplus ascertained at that
date, as a guarantee fund, a divisible surplus sufficient
for making additions of twenty-six per cent. to the whole
benefits assured by policies issued prior to Ist January
1820, and entitled to additions, in terms of the articles of
Constitution." Less considerable contingent prospective
additions, in the event of a Member dying between any
two periods of investigation, have likewise been provided
for. In this way, a policy issued prior to Ist January
1520, for 10001. is already increased to the sum of
1,3161. 145., which will be paid on the decease of the
party assured, if the same take place within the current
year ; and if the party survive, the addition will increase ac-
cording to a fixed ratio, until the next period of investiga-
tion, when there is reason to think, that the retrospective
additions then to be declared, may be proportionably equal
to those already made. The office-bearers are chosen by
the Members of the Society, and must themselves be Mem-
bers, and of course personally interested in the Society.
Copies of the Prospectus, containing an ample exposi.
tion of the. Principles and Rules of the Society, together
with Tables of Rates, may be had gratis at the Societies
Office, No. 5, St. Andrew's-square, Edinburgh, Where
every information may be obtained.

LANDS IN ARGYLLSHIRE FOR SALE,
TO BE. EXPOSED TO SALE, BY PUBLIC
- ROUP,
Within the Royal •Exell'arigo Coffee Houser Edinburgh, on
Want;Emmy, the 11th day of May, 182 S, at Two
o'clock in the afternoon, if not previously disposed of by
private bargain,
I.rrIIE LANDS and ESTATE of
MARTIN, lying in the Parish of Kilmartin, and
`aunty of Argyll. This Estate has for some time past
Seen mostly let on yearly leases, with a view to a sale, and
is in consequence at present under-rented ; but, in 1825,
it was valued by an experienced valuator at 1,3421. of land
rent without taking the produce of the woods into calcu-
4tion. It contains 1,978 Scotch, or 2,473 English Acrea.
It combines every convenience requisite for the residence
of a family. The soil of the Arable Land is early and
productive, and that both of the low pasture and hill
gratings is of excellent quality, dry, sound, and healthy.
The natural shelter is remarkable. There is very
little waste ground, and no more moss than what is
necessary for fuel. There is a considerable portion of wood
on the estate, both natural and planted. Near the Mansion-
house there are many trees of large growth ; and as the soil is
peculiarly adapted for wood, there are many situations
where plantations may be made, not only with the view of
producing shelter -and ornamental effect, but with the cer-
tain prospect of future profit. Besides the wood actually
inclosed, and in an advanced state of growth, there are
many acres of oak stools which, if inclosed and preserved
from cattle, would in the usual time become valuable bark
wood. These, from being uninclosed, and from their irre-
gular position, have only been estimated as pasture. The
distance from Lochgilphead (a thriving market town, where
everything can be readily got by means of the daily steam-
boats) is only eight miles, and the road is exceedingly good.
From the sea at Loch Crinan, the house of Largy, being
the mansion.house of the estate, is only three miles distant.
The Mansion-house is large, elegant, and commodious, and
was built only a few years ago. Most of the low ground
on the different farms is subdivided and inclosed by stone
dykes; and there is plenty of good limestone in various
parts of the estate. To a sportsman Kilmartin would be
a very desirable purchase, for, besides the easy access to it,
the productive quality of its soil, and other advantages as a
residence, it abounds with a variety of the finest game.
2. The ESTATE of CRUACHAN, with extensive
SALMON FISHINGS in LOCHOW. This Estate,
lying in the parish of Dalavich, consists of 2,396 Scotch
or 2,975 English acres. It is beautifully situated on the
north side of Lochow, immediately opposite to the finely
Wooded and picturesque grounds of Eredine. It is also
bounded on the north by another beautiful lake, the Loch
of Avich. It is distant from Kilmartin about ten miles, by
a tolerably good and very pleasant road along the banks of
Lochow. _ _

~The soil
of the low ground is excellent, part of it well
adapted fur cropping, and the meadow and low pasture
is not inferior to that of Kilmartin. The natural shelter is
equally good, and the upper or hill pasture affords sound and
healthy grazing for both black cattle and sheep, of the best
breeds. Besides the copse wood, (which is mostly all oak,
in the most thriving state, and may be fit for cutting in
three years,) there are several clumps of fir, larch, and
other trees, now fit for useful purposes. The principal
farm-hoe," (Cruachan, at one time the residence of the
proprietor,) is goof.' repair, is well situated, and might,
with an addition in front, be made a suitable dwelling for
a proprietor, or for
a principal tacksman of the whole lands.
The low grounds are all subdivided by stone dykes into
suitable quarters for grazing and wintering ; and the
boundaries of the hill ground are also inclosed in the same
manner.
The property abounds with various kinds of game, and
has right of fishing in Lochow for the length of three miles.
There is limestone in the lands, and plenty of good moss and
brushwood for fuel. The distance from Inverary is only
twelve miles, and the ferry across the loch is a narrow and
kale one at all times. With a view to the sale, the lands
are not let on permanent leases, but were valued in 1825
at 4741. 17s.

If the Estates are not sold in one lot, they will, at a sub-
sequent period, be exposed separately.
For further particulars apply to Messrs. Hunter, Camp-
bell, and Cathcart, W.S., 5, North St. David-street, Edin-
burgh ; or to Daniel Mactaggart, writer in Campbelltown.
