The following Report of Mr. Robert 11;144 a practical
Miner, concerning the Great Park Estate at West Leigh, has
been received by the Directors :
, " Having been desired by the Directors of the LIVERPOOL
AND MANCHESTER COAL COMPANY to examine the Great Park
Estate, purchased by the said Company, and having made the
necessary inquiries respecting the same, do deliberately give it
as my opinion that the said Estate is well calculated for the
purpose for which it was purchased, and that with proper ma-
nagement it will produce for years a good supply of Coals, and
a remunerating profit for the property on Capital to be laid out
That having seen the late Agent of the Estate, and also a man
who formerly worked in the Mines, I have no doubt that the
quality of the Coal is good, and that the information given rela-
tive to the borings is correct.
" Dated this 11th day of May, 1836, at West Leigh.
" R. HALSALL."
The. Directors beg leave to state to the Shareholders, that so
soon as the Company's Mine at West Leigh is at work, they
will then determine upon opening other Collieries which they
now have under offer.

Considerable- facilities and privileges are given to Associa-
tions of the kind now formed, by an Act of Parliament of the
10th of George IV. intituled "An Act to consolidate and
amend the Laws relating to Friendly Societies," and also an
Act of the 4th- and sth William I V., to extend the benefits of
the same; and to obtain the benefits of these Acts it is re-
quisite to conform to certain Regulations; hut, as these are
designed to promote the good order and security of such So-
cieties, it has been concluded that the National. Provident In-
stitution should be established under their provisions.
Among the advantages afforded by these Acts to Societies
conforming to their Rules, are the following:-
Ist. An entire exemption from all the Stamp Duties on their
various transactions, which would otherwise be liable to heavy
charges.
24. Permission to employ any part or the whole of the money
in Government Securities, at a higher rate of interest than
the public funds produce.
This Institution is strictly one of Mutual Insurance for the
equitable division of all surplus funds. The premiums will be
found lower than most other offices founded upon'the same libe-
ral principles.
It presents to the industrious and prudent Mechanic or Arti-
san all the security and benefit of a savings' bank on au extended
scale.

To those engaged in business, or the professions, or holding
situations in private or public establishments, whose incomes
mainly depend on their own exertions, it affords an easy oppor-
tunity of securing some provision for that period of life when
the energies of the most robust are no longer equal to their
necessities.

To the.more affluent, and to all classes in proportion to their
ability, it will be found that this Institution, ►n its Life Assur-
ance department, promises to realise considerable advantages,
as the accumulation of its funds will be for the benefit of all its
M embers.
