RECEIVE COMFORT YE MOTHERS.
ATKINSON'S INFANTS' PRESERVATIVE, of which
100,000 Bottles are now annually sold, has been esta-
blished upwards of 50 years !—lt is a pleasant and efficacious
carminative, affording instant relief in, and effectually re-
moving those alarming and numerous complaints to which
infants are liable ; as affections of the Bowels, difficult Teeth-
ing, the Thrush or Frog, Convulsions, Rickets, &c. ; is an
admirable assistant to nature during the progress of the
Hooping Cough, Measles, and the Cow-pox or Vaccine
Inoculation, and is so perfectly innocent that it may be given
with the greatest safety immediately after birth. In short,
whether this medicine be destined to enter the palace or the
cottage, the Proprietor feels an honest conviction of its power
to assuage maternal pain for infant suffering;, to convert that
pain into gladness, that suffering into balmy repose.
Prepared only by ROBERT BARKER, (nephew and suc-
cessor to, and formerly partner with, the late Mr. Atkinson,
the discoverer of this invaluable medicine,) No. I, Market-
place, Manchester, and sold in bottles at Is. lid., 2s. 9d.,

BANKERS.
Messrs. Masterman, Peters, Mildred. and Co.
THIS Society is formed at the desire of the principal
Planters and Merchants interested in the West Indies,
as will be seen by the annexed recommendation, for the pur-
pose of promoting and encouraging Immigration into these
Colonies, where European and other Artisans and Labourers
may be advantageously employed.
In the mountainous parts of the West Indies the climate is
cool and salubrious, the Thermometer throughout the year
ranging from 60 to 75 degrees, and there, as well as in many
parts of the lowlands, every description of work can be per-
formed by them. Already Freeman's Hall Sugar Estate, in
the • Parish of Trelawuey in Jamaica, has been entirely
settled by German and English Immigrants, and on various
other Estates, Immigrants are working cheerfully, and are
surrounded with every comfort in life, and Maltese and
others have already proceeded to Demarara, Grenada, and
Tabago. _

In order to carry out the objects of this Society, it is in-
tended to use the utmost care, in the selection of the Emi-
grants, to insure their being of good moral and religious
character, and a preference will at all times be given to
famil es, every member of which from the age of six years
and upwards can be usefully employed on a graduated scale
of wages. _

To effect this a communication will be opened with the
pastoral and other local authorities throughout the United.
Kingdom, and with Agents on the Continent of Europe and
other places ; and Register Books will be kept, in which the
names, residences, trades, or occupations of persons wishing
to emigrate will be inserted, with references to character, &c.
The Books will be open for the inspection of parties desir-
ous of obtaining Emigrants.

It is intended to provide the Emigrants with free passage,
medical attendance, and rations to their several places of
destination, and the Proprietors of the Ptantations where
they are to be located will employ them on fair liberal wages;
and the Society previous to the embarkation of the Emigrants
will require the parties by whom they are to be employed to.
make proper arrangements for their reception on arrival.
The Emigrants will have every opportunity of attending to
their religious duties, and they will also be enabled to cor-
respond with their Families and Friends by regular packets
twice a month and of making or receiving remittances through
the various Banks established in the Colonies.
In order to secure the mutual Interest of Employers and
Servants, the Society intend to recommend the latter to enter
into contracts, on their arrival in the Colonies, for certain
fixed periods ; at the expiration of which, if they have been
industrious, sober, and prudent, they may be enabled to
renew their engagements, or to purchase Lands.
The principal sources of profit, in the first instance, will be
derived from Agency, as the Society will procure the Immi-
grants, and superintend their embarkation for parties requir-
ing them, on being paid a stipulated sum for each Emigrant
selected, and as many mercantile houses have received in-
structions from their correspondents abroad to send ont Im-
migrants, it is anticipated that this branch of the Society's
operations will prove lucrative to the Shareholders.
This Society offers the opportunity to Planters and others
interested in the Colonies, of procuring labourers with
greater facility than they may otherwise possess, and those
who become Shareholders will be supplied at a less charge of
Agency than nonsubscribers.

The Island of Jamaica has by 'am Act of the Legislature,
voted the sum of £50,000 sterling per annum for three years
in aid of Immigration, and has appointed an Agent General
to proceed to London for the purpose of arranging Agencies
for the collecting and embarking of Immigrants, and this
Society will endeavour to make an arrangement with him on
his arrival by which the object of his mission may be accom-
plished.
Another branch of profit is expected to be derived from
Grants of Land in the Colonies, as it is contemplated that
Her Majesty's Government, or ithose of the Colonies will.
give the Society grants in proportion to the number of Emi-
grants sent out. These Lands may hereafter be disposed of
or cultivated by the Society or their Immigrants: as may be
thought advisable.

In the working out of this Society it is anticipated that
various other sources of emolument may arise.
The affairs of the Society are to be conducted by;the Com-
mittee until a Board of Directors is appointed.
As the Committee will not enter into any contracts beyond
the actual amount of funds at their disposal, no liability will
occur to the Shareholders.
Applications for Shares and Prospectuses to be addressed
to the Committee, at the Solicitors, Bankers, Messrs. BOND,
PEARSE. and CHILD, No. 8, Pavement, Finsbury ; Messrs.
H. H. COHEN and Co. 4, Old London-street ; or E. F.
