LANDS IN ARGYLLSHIRE.

FOR SALE BY PRIVATE BARGAIN.
ALL and WHOLE the LANDS of MUCK,
ROY and NORTH and SOUTH ERINES, lying ii

the parish of South Knapdale and county of Argyll. These
lands consist of upwards of 2,000 Scots Acres, 200 whereof
are under wood and planting. The pasturage is of the best
quality, and the low grounds are beautifully wooded. The
land are well stocked with black game and grouse.
These lands extend along the shores'. of Lochfine, for about
three miles. They are distant four miles from Tarbert and
ten from Lochgilphead. The high road betwixt Campbel-
town and Inverary, the County Town, runs through the
property, and the steam-boats from Glasgow to Inverary,
and the North Highlands, pass close to it daily. • The pub-
lic burdens are moderate, and the entry with the superior
is taxed. The lands are let for three years from WI-Mauls-
day, 1825, for 1801. yearly. The woods upon the pro-
perty are very valuable; and by the opinion of Mr. Mon-
teath (Author of the "Forester's Guide") would with care
be brought to yield annually more than the lands. Last
upset price was only 6,5001.
For further particulars apply to Andrew Clasen, W. S.
Edinburgh ; or Archibald M'K innon, Writer, Greenock.

SCOTTISH WIDOWS' FUND AND LIFE ASSUR-
ANCE SOCIETY,
No. 5, St. AndressPs-square, Edinburgh,
(Founded on the original model of- the Equitable Office of
London),
NOTICE is hereby given, that all PRO--
1 POSALS of ASSURANCE, intended to be sub-
mitted to the Directors at their Weekly Courts, held every
Monday, must be lodged with the Manager on or before the
Saturday preceding, otherwise they cannot be taken into
consideration till. a subsequent Conti.
By order of the Court of Directors,
• • JOHN M'KEAN, Manager.
Considerable inconvenience and disappointment was oc-
casioned to applicants, at the corresponding period , of last
year, from their having delayed their applications till so
nearly the close of the year that the necessary forms of the
office, which peremptorily require that the' Proposals shall
lie a certain time on the table, prevented their Certificates
or Policies being dated within the year; so as to entitle them
to the binefit of Ali& paYment of that 'year's .premium, in
reference to the approaching period of . investigation. This
notice is given to-prevent, as far as possible, any similar
disappointment this year. As a practical proof of the great
advantages arising to policiei opened. with this 'Society, it
may be mentioned that several policies for 1,0001. (and so
in proportion), dated previous to Ist January, 1820, hay-
inff become in course of payment this year, by the decease
of parties assured, their representatives, instead of the
.sum of 1,000/. contained in the original policy, have drawn
in consequence of the additiOnS made from the surpluS fund,
the suns of 1,297/, 10s., being an addition or bonus of
within a trifle of Thirty per Cent. on the sums assured.
