NUMBER OF PROPRfETORS IN the
\ CITY Of Wellington, With views 10 converr their
. property into imnediate money, have termed the
allowing PLAN IF A T0NIINE and have
\ appointed the f~opfcriber their agent tor carrying
; the fame iafo execution.

4 preccass the clan Of the inttisusIon. Plat. OF The
/ .i;y, On which tbelc lots will be defgnated, will
he lodged at the fcveral taverns in Warrington
ard George Town, for public infpeaioa; and.
Do,k will be ooened in the city for receiving luo-
i~c4iptions q mares, on the hrtt day of Dscember,
rasuing. Should books be operrd eifswhere, due
notice viii be given thereof. Payment mnit De

If consrary 10 reafenahle expectation, a ~iufHc!ent
number of flares h0uld not be fnhlcribed tor thc
execution OF the fchcine, the moaey lhali be iailh--
falsy.returncd to the fubfcgibeis, and without any
unacctfasy delay.
The contribution of the I'ontine is TOO plain TO
need explanatory remarks. The BATS OF the infi-
lntion being a riing property, rated on a very
low fcsle, the advantages moft be greater than
could refnlt from a mere mopied initi ution. l.
ieems indeed more than probable, that each ttoek-
holder who ~furvives the diilolution of the cemPa-
nv, viii find the valae of his flock augmented
tu envy fold, or more, Ifany think that thisfa
vogs Of extras agance, let them advert to the In.
clreafsd yslu: Of unimproVed propcriy in any OF our
esrgs towns during the Taft 20 years. Let them
oornoars with the prices Of the Tontlte lots, thole
tfihe r,oa Indifferent property in any OF shoie
towns now. II will not be commended that any
fcwn in the United States had, % years ago,
airsr ~profoetts Of rapid i~ncreafe, than Waning
con has al this day. The faa will not be dl
pused, that the Tontine lois are generally afnoagit
the mott valuable in Warrington,
The feat o. government for fuch a country as
r.as Uni,ed States, cannoffong remain an incoHt-
aerabie city. But Wafa5agy on hiss an advantage
more important than eyeftfis. Il IS me nearest
fea port to that country #hich may be jaIaly de-
dominated the atanary OF America.
A plan of this kind formed 20 years ago on the
BATS Of unimproyed property in Baltir.ors OF even
in George Town, would have yielded 10 The fur
wing adventurers Of this day, a prods.of forty if
not an hu bred fold.
IN May, 1900, Warrington contained s,aoa
inhabisans-n May, 1903, 4,s5o. The numl
Der now exceeds 5000. In the fame ratio Of
progreGive @incfsafe, the population in 1907, WI
be $500; in 1910, $500 in 1873, 1880;
in 1916, 1890; ia 1919, $1,000 IN lS2a,
80. 900 ard In 1875, 5000. Men OF icnte'
Who examine the htuation of the Tontine lots,
will perceive that the whole of them mutt be IN
demand fer Improvement before the population
RITES TO 10000. From the time, happen when II
will, that our commerce hall principally depend
noon our own productions, and our own con
{~umption, the ~increafe Of the city will be infinite,
~ more rapid, The ~rcfources of the country al.
tsched 70 it by nature, are now equal 70 the
maintenance of 90, 900 fouls IL the city. Tbete
refaurces, diverted ar this time into many dlifef-
en- channels, will be confined almof sxclufveiy
10 w Ellington, when Europe hall be at peace,
and each, maritime nation can carry for lt!eit.
The uf1al mode of telling lots IN our large
raves IL by the front foot; in Warrington the
m5teis by the fquase foot. AT the highef price
in his o.sn, a lot Of gs feet by 40 will be 40
dollars The loweft prlee So doilsrs; III iqasres
where there arc alleys, a triae mere.
The whole property iesfed out at So. per front
foot, would pay naoEe than 8 per cent, datc'eis On
the capital.
