MONIAL ALLIANCE, one of which is conducted by him-
self, to give interviews to Gentlemen, and the other by a Lady,
exclusively for Ladies. Portfolios are published monthly,
containing copies of Letters, without name or address, in-
serted by Gentlemen of rank and fortune, by Gentlemen in
the Army and Navy, and by Professional and other Gentle-
men of property, who are desirous of entering into the HOLY

utility of these Establishments, their beneficial results, or the
delicate manner in which they are conducted, except on a
perusal of the Rules and the explanatory Pamphlet, in which
will be found a thorough explanation of the whole system, and
may be obtained by applying personally or by letter to A. 8.,
care of Mr. Proudfoot, 63, Morlimer-street, Cavendish-
square, London. The price of the Pamphlet is one shilling,
and the Rules are charged ten shillings, as some guard against
idle curiosity and the applications of ineligible persons. The
Monthly Portfolio is now ready, and contains many Letters
of Gentlemen, from the ages of 24 to 55, possessing properly
from £4OO to £2OOO a-year, extracts from which can be for-
warded to Ladies, their Parents, or Guardians, on being fur-
nished with the age and circumstances of the parties applying.
The best references will be given if required, and the most
implicit secrecy and honour will be observed.
