For the satisfaction of those numerous parties iu the Country
interested in the present undertaking, it is • necessary here to
state generally the object and intention of the CoMmittee of
Man a genient, and further inforthation will afterwards he aft'arded.
This new Political Journal instituted under powerful pat-
ronage, for the purpose of thwarting, in some nicasute, the
avowed designs of the numerous Radical Newspapers lately
sprung up—of acting as an antidote to the objects and opinions
of such papers as the Spectator, Examiner, and Atlas, hitherto
unopposed by any antagonist of their form and character—of
spreading more widely and generally throughout time Country,
(by a proper explanation, which is never attempted,) principles
of a Conservative tendency—and of procuring a distinct organ
of Conservatism, to communicate the proceedings of the different
ConserVative. Associations.
The principles upon which this Journal will be conducted, are
of a very simple and intelligible character, for they have been
advocated by ther-eatest and-wisest-men this Country has ever
produced, and ace those now upheld by His GRACE THE DUKE
OF WELLINGTON, and Silt ROBEOT PEEL.
They are, to defend at all times, and with all earnestness, the
strict and inviolable union now happily existing between Church
and State; to maintain the Throne in all its integrity, and
against all arbitrary encroachment, whether from within or from
without; to uphold thy,, full and entire independence of both
houses of Parliament,7A gainst the Monarchy and the people
on the one band, and their own mutual inroads on the other;
and to teach the people obedience to the laws, attachment to
their established faith, loyalty to the King, and justice to each
other.

The METROPOLITAN CONSERVATIVE JOURNAL is also especi-
ally intended to represent the Shipping, the Agricultural, and-
other depressed interests; and will devote a careful attention to,
the proceedings of the various Railway, Mining, Canal, and
other Companies.
Shareholders are More particularly sought for among the
Clergy, the ConServative Clubs and Associations, the Shipping
and Agricultural Districts and Associations; and from Man-
chester. Leeds, Bristol, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Bull, Sunder-
land, Whitby, and Newcastle.
Each Shareholder is expected to take a Copy of the METRO-
POLITAN CONSERVATIVE JOURNAL, and in order to vary and
widen its circulation for the benefit of the Shareholders, no one
is allowed to subscribe for More than two Shares; for this ptir-
pose also: they have been made small. It will thus commence
with such an extensive and immediate circulation, as to allow
at once a large per centage for Capital advances; and, to
Subscribers, in addition, a considerable per ceutage will be
allowed on Adveltisements, sufficient to, repay them for their
outlay.
In order, moreover,. to meet with the Literary taste of the
British public, the M ETtIoPOLITAN LITER ARV JOURNAL, which
is edited by a gentleman of high standing in contemporary
Literature, will, as soon as the Duty is removed, be immediately
Stamped and sent to all parts of the Empire, thus allowing the
CONSERVATIVE JOURNAL more entire.-and exclusive space fur
the diffusion of its political opinions. Letters (post. paid) ad-
dressed to J. NIT A L KER ORD, Esq., (Kneed the METROPOLITAN
LITER ART JOURNA L, 13, Wellington-street, or 29, NorthUmber-
lausl-street, Strand, will be laid before the Committee, and all
inquires replied to. Early applications for Shares are also re-
quested, as a considerable number are already secured by im-
mediate friends of the undertaking, and in the *Country.
N.B—lt may not be out of place here to add, that this was
the first Journal proposed to be established on the present prin-
ciple, and the announcement was only delayed from the uncer-
tainty existing in the present Stamp regulations.

TABLE GAS COMPANY.
CAPITAL £1.50,000, IN 30,000 SHARES .01, £5 EACH.
DEPOSIT £1 PER SHARE:
rums Company has 'been formed in order to obviate the
di..• great difficulties the Consumers of Gas in the Eastern
Division of London have had to contend with; the Directors
purpose supplying a pure Gas at 30 per cent. under the rates as
at present paid, securing an ample supply not only to the con-
sumers by burner, but also to those that burn by meter, fur whom
a separate main will be laid down.
This Company does not come forward as others have done.
"upon the ground of public good," for while they afford tfr6
public the great advantage they promise, vet in so doing
secure to themselves and to the shareholders a dividers
percent. for their capital embarked.
The immense and continued increase in the cons T
Gas, both for public and private use, renders a Co
description beyond doubt a sure and certain i
many years will not elapse before it supersede
altogether, as its utility in heating and (nail
now fully established; its 'peonoiny and clean is
the more desirable for such purposes.
From the many and recent improvements, both in the manu-
facture of Gas and in the construction of Works and Machinery,
this Company does possess great advantages over any at present
established, having the benefit of all without the orig Mal expense.
The Directors are determined to adhere to the strictest eco-
nomy, both in the construction of works and in every other
branch of the establishment, and by so doing they can pledge
themselves to supply Gas at the reduction as stated, and at the
same time ensure to the shareholders a larger Dividend than
any other similar Company ever did pay.
