The principle of this Company is that of attaching all
Importers and Exporters, by a Division of the Profits among
them, after payment of the Dividends, thus creating a com-
munity of Interests between the Shippers and Shareholders,
a principle which will best guarantee to its Proprietors a
certainty of their Dividends, and to Shippers of all descrip-
tions of Goods and Live Stock the having a well-supported
Establishment of first-class Steamers, and the lowest rate of
freight compatible with due attention to their maintenance.

BY GEORGE CRUIKSHANK.
On the 29th of January, 1842, Price Eigbteenpence,
No. I. OF
A INSWORTH'S MAGAZINE:
a Monthly Miscellany of Romance, General Literature,
and Art. Edited by W. HARRISON AINSWORTH, Esq., and

CRUIKSHANK. Containing the commencement of a New
Work of Fiction by Mr. Ainsworth, with Two Illustrations
on Steel by George Cruickshank. With Contributions from
the most eminent Writers of the day. Full particulars will
be speedily given.
" We are glad to observe that Mr. Ainsworth is on the eve
of starting a Magazine of his own. There is hardly a lite-
rary man of the day more adapted for the editorship of a
monthly periodical; a fact which has been abundantly proved
by the great success with which he has conaucted Bentley's
Miscellany."—Observer, Dec. 12.
*** Mr. AINSWORTH announces that his connexion with
" Bentley's Miscellany" ceases with the present Number,
and that Mr. GEORGE CRUIKSHANK will only furnish one
design in each Number, as before, to that Publication. No
other monthly work whatever will be illustrated by Mr.
Cruikshank.

" We prefer the two first volumes of ' Old St. Paul's' to
any previous work of their author. Treated as a tale of ad-
venture, the test of which is the hold retained on the reader,
these volumes have great merit. The reader who has once
opened them will hardly be disposed to lay them down again."
