ral Dundas, and others, in all of which many years are yet
to come and unexpired. and the Lands comprised in them
embrace a very large extent of country.
The Beds of Coal range in thickness from 12 feet to one
yard, are of excellent quality, and are almost without limit
as to quantity. The recent produce has been after the rate
of 50,000 Tons per Annum, or thereabouts, but a much
larger quantity might easily be raised.
The situation of the Collieries is admirable, having good
Turnpike Roads connecting them with the city of Chester
and all the neighbouring towns in the Principality. They
also lie within an easy distance of the River Dee, and by
means of recently-made and well-appointed Railways, are
connected with excellent Shipping Wharfs at Connah's

Quay Wharf, Vessels drawing thirteen ft..., of water can take
in their cargoes at any state of the tide.

Works amounts, exclusive of the Beneficial Interest in the
many valuable Leases under which the same are carried on,
to nearly £50,000.

William Rigby, Esq. to enable them to fulfil certain Trusts
which now devolve upon them.

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

THE BIBLE is that published by Macklin; 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 Wit. 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 Loutherbourg, R.A.; and also manuscripts of the Dedi-
cations and various other appropriate and beautiful speci-
mens of penmanship. Engravings and Etchings after Raf
faelle, Marc Antonio, Albert Durer, Collot, Rembrandt,
&c., constitute the mass of the illuminations and they in.
elude 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
rmong the subjects of these splendid illustrations.
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.

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 assigned the Forty-five Volumes of
BOWYER'S UNIQUE BIBLE, with its gorgeous illus-
trations, to tit 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, OR 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 hint
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. PARKAS, 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
connected with either of the great prizes, so that there can
be no blanks.
