GROUND RENTS, AMOUNTING TO SIXTY-THREE
POUNDS A YEAR,

Indisputably well secured upon newly-erected and very well-built
houses, approximating upon the Islington Spa, near to the New
River Head, and surrounded by a populous neighbourhood. It is
secured upon, altogether, sixteen houses, and the value to secure
these ground-rents, which will form One Lot, is about

FOUR HUNDRED A YEAR;
it is. consequently, a security without doubt or risk, and this, be
it remembered, with
THREE PER CENT. CONSOLS AT PAR,
assuredly this must be a good time to transfer them into ground.
rents. Adjoining is a snug private house, respectably occupied,
close to the celebrated Spa, which, by industry and tact, may be
rendered very productive ; and there are two houses adjoining.
The produce of these leaseholds is 75/. a year, and the rents are
paid most punctually. In olden times, 301. was the usual morning
receipt from the Spa, or, as it was denominated in 1773, " The
Holy Well ;" but it must be macie more public to secure again the
entire patronage of the public. For cutaneous disorders it is said
to be an infallible cure. The situation of this desirable investment
is rapidly progressing in public estimation. It is held for sixty-
eight years.

THE MOST ELIGIBLE ESTATE IN THE ENVIRONS OF

SOUTHAMPTON.

This distinguished abode, which has always held a high place in
Public estimation, may now, by its close approximation to
THE CHOSEN SEAT OF ROYALTY,
claim to be one of the
MOST IMPORTANT FEATURES IN HER MAJESTY'S

DOMINIONS.
THE THORNHILL PARK ESTATE
was the favourite abode of

JAMES BARLOW HOY, ESQ.,
who for a lengthened period was
THE MP. FOR SOUTHAMPTON,

and it is a fact not to be impeached, that if the new purchaser
partakes of his hospitality and sound political creed,
" HE WILL WALK: OVER THE COURSE WHENEVER

THE NET ELECTION ARRIVES."

THE MANSION is the commanding feature of the property,
and may claim to be one of the great lions in this delightful
vicinity, for the late lamented Proprietor has, in its completion,
spared no expense to combine in unequivocal taste
LUXURY AND SPLENDOUR, WITH THE MOST PER-

peaceful retirement, within twelve miles of

NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSUR-
ANCE SOCIETY,

26, CORNIIILL, LONDON.
Capital £500,000.
Empowered by Act of Parliament.

The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu-
tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par-
ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex-
pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on skort policies—
the option of selecting beige-Its and converting policies so as best to
suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well
as to afford the f>lll benefit to his family at death, and annual division
of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that
the society's great success and growing Trosperity enabled the Di-
rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy
on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the
amount already invested; and this bonus, according to an equitabie
scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in redaction of future
premiums
