JUVENILE CHARITABLE SOCIETY.
MBE COMMITTEE of the JUVENILE CHARITA-
BLE SOCIETY feel sorry that they have not been
able ere this to present before their Friends and the Public
the exact Sum realized by their late BAZAAR, which diffi-
culty arose from private Sales and the continual receival of
Donations; but they have now the extreme pleasure of in-
forming those who-interested themselves in their juvenile
undertaking, that the nett proceeds amount,to the handsome
sum of £l3O Bs. 3d., of which sum the flattering Donation
of Two Guineas was received from the Mayor : this, in con-
junction with what they had previous to the Bazaar, makes a
total of £152. With this sum their okrations will be much
extended ; and they are using every endeavour to form a
North Branch, which solely depends on the success they
meet with in procuring a Committee. And, in conclusion,
the Committee beg to return their sincere thanks to those
whe contributed and patronized their charitable object, re-
minding them that, as their desire to be useful has been
seconded by the liberality of those to whom they applied, no
exertion shall be wanting on their part to give every satis-
faction.

*** The various Works have been assigned to Trustees upon
Trust for the Subscribers.

THE BIBLE is that 'published by Mack/in; the best
edition of the best of books, expanded, with the Illus-
trative Engravings, into Forty-five large folio volumes, in
superb condition, and it contains nearly Seven Thousand
Drawings and Engravings, among which are all the most in-
teresting works that illustrate, pictorially, the sacred text.
The Times newspaper has described these illustrations
justly, as extending through productions of the most perfect
art, at every period, from that of Michael Angelo to that of
Reynolds and West. The work also contains One Hundred
and Thirteen original Drawings and Vignette Embellish-
ments to the several Books of the Holy Scriptures, by P. J.
De Loutherboury, R.A. ; and also manuscripts of the Dedi-
cations and various other appropriate and beautiful speci-
mens of penmanship. Engravings and Etchings after .Rof
facile, Marc Antonio, Albert Darer, Cullot, Rembrandt,
&c., constitute the mass of the illuminations, and they in-
clude every ocular fact, circumstance, and object to which
the holy writ alludes. Trees, Plants, Flowers, Quadrupeds,
Birds, Fishes, Insects,---Fossils in proof of the universal
Deluge, and the most complete and perfect Atlases, are
among the subjects of these splendid illustrAions.
According to the present plan, there will he Three Hun-
dred and Fifty Subscribers at Ten Guineas each, to contest
for this gorgeous prize. The Proprietor intends not to re-
tain a single Ticket, and the decision will be made after the
plan of the Art Union, as to the modes of drawing for the
prizes at that Institution.

Office of Ord, April, 1 843.
CONTRACT FOR WALNUTnance
TREE 29 TIMBER, THE
GROWTH. OF TUE. UNITED KINGDOM, FOR
GUN AND PISTOL STOCKS.
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, to all Persons desirous
of supplying WALNUT TREE TIMBER. the Growth
of the 3.;;lntett Kingdom, for Gun and Pistol els, for the
Ordnance Service.
That Proposals, in writing, addressed ,the Secretary to
the Board.of Ordnance, sealed up, ahr arked on the out-
side, " Tender for Walnut Tree Timbeit;" will be received at
the Ordnance Office, Pall Mall, on or before TUUSDAY, the
thirtieth Clay of May next.

The form of Tender, and Specifications of the Contract.
may be Otained upon application (by letter, or personally)
tw the Secretary of the Board of Ordnance, Pali Alan.
London.

Persons who make the Tenders are desired not to use any
Form but that which is issued by the Board of Ordnance.
By order of the Board,
R. BYHAM, Secretary.

The decision will take place at Mrs. PARKES'S, No. 22,
Golden-square ; of which notice shall be sent at least ten days
previous to the day of drawing.

The Subscribers present will be competent to proceed to
the decision, and whoever proves the successful competitor,
to him or her will be aQsigned the Forty-five Volumes of
BOWYER'S UNIQUE BIBLE, with its gorgeous illus-
trations, to be removed at his or her expense.
The other prize will be drawn for at the same time. It is
an original picture by the late W. HILTON, R.A., one of the
best productions from his hand, and its subject the Trium-
phal Entry of the Duke of Wellington into Madrid, on the
12th.of August, 1812.
It ought to be understood, that, though the holder of a
Ten Guinea Ticket may possess one or other of these great
works,—THE BIBLE, Ost HILTON.'S PICTURE,—yet those
who do not gain either will not be losers; for, every Sub-
scriber receives prints to the full value of his Ten Guinea
Ticket, to be selected from the annexed lists ; so that, in
fact, his chances
,for the Bible and the Picture cost him
nothing.

The novel features of this plan are—that every purchaser
of a ticket receives immediately the full value of his money,
independently of his future chance.
Every purchaser of a ticket of Ten Guineas, is not only in
the condition of a private purchaser of plates to that amount,
but he has in virtue of that ticket a chance of securing to
himself the great Bible Prize of 3,000 Guineas value, or the
great Picture Prize of 500 Guineas value. It cannot, there-
fore, be doubted that the Subscription List, which is limited
to 350 names, will be shortly filled up, and an early applica-
tion is recommended to all intending purchasers.
The Illustrated Bible, in 45 large folio volumes, may be
inspected any day, between the hours of eleven and four, at
the house of Mrs. PARKES, 22, Golden-square, where Hil-
ton's Picture may also be seen. •
The plan at present proposed for drawing is as follows :-
350 Tickets, with the Subscribers' names thereon, to be
placed in a wheel for that purpose. The first drawn name
will be entitled to Hilton's Picture; the last drawn name
will have the 45 splendid volumes of the Holy Scriptures.
Each Subscriber receiving the full value of his Prints not
conoeco.d with of the great prizes, so that there can
be no blanks.
