THE Council have much satisfaction in announcing
to the Public, that the Charter granted under the Act passed
in the last session of Parliament has received the great seal, and
that the Art-Union of London is now a corporate body, with all
the rights and privileges thereto belonging.

The Council feel assured, that the Society being thus placed
on a firm and permanent basis, a great extension of its bene-
ficial operations will result, and that many will he induced to
join who have been hitherto deterred by doubts of its legality
or permanency; while the Council, feeling that the existence of
the Society is no longer precarious, will be authorised to make
all such prospective arrangements as may be desirable; and it
will be their anxious endeavour so to apply the means at the
Society's disposal, as to carry out in the most effectual manner
the great objects it has in view—the dissemination of a know-
ledge and love of Art, the improvement of the general taste,
and the conseqient elevation of the Fine Arts and their
professors.

The scheme of prizes for the present year will embrace, in
additiion to the usual proportion of works to be selected by the
prizeholders.

Recommended by the " Health of Towne ommission."

THIS is one of the most simple, least expensive,
and effectual plans yet brought before, the Public for
VENTILATING ROOMS, without causing unpleasant drafts
of air. It may be fixed as a pane of glass, whose lace it sup-
plies; and it does not derange readily or interfere with the
sash-fasteners, blinds, shutters, or any other fixtures belonging
to windows.

For Public Offices, of every description, especially Smoking
and Coffee Rooms, itwill be found a most valuable appendage ;
and it is, moreover, a simpie remedy for all Smoky Chimneys.
