For publishing this advertisement rs res
qaIrcd, with the editorial notice. Nr Wa
iefbury offers to pay us with forty gtlt
certificates finely engraved on Bank Note

With due Difference to MIR Edwin Water,
bury, -nd 10 .hs munifccn, offer he ha'
uade us FOE our services, we must respect
full, decline, and for the simple reason that
we have taken up an idea that it is a swin>
ding affair We think SO from the TACT
that Nr. Waterbury does not give US single
name but his own, and we have not the
pleasure Of his acquaintance. We have
therefore no evidence that he ha. this prop
ofty, or that the Shareholders would ever
see OF hear tell OF their money after they
h.d sent IT, Takon at best II looks Ike u
mock auction affair. II he is as liberal ia
his Offers to all tke editor. Ia the United
State, as he Is to us. he viii have ccnsii
nrnhle amount to pay ont,
There are \, least thousand of Tho f'se
tcruity throughout the union. Forty shares
apiece to them, would make 10 600 or $50,
900 Add to this the 10000 admissions
to the Great National Exhibition equal
to $40 900. and we have grand aggre'
gate" Of sac, 900, which amount IS mat
ter Of course twere the scheme even IS
honest MS !, prctend.l comes out of the
pockets Of the Shareholders.
BESIDES these h,llo objections, the crcn
lar he sends us looks suspicious. \, the
head Of It are the words Hope Chapel
100" which are scratched out. and Amer.
lean Art Union Rooms, 40, in thelr
stead
We hope that IN consideration OF these
things, Mr.. Edwin Waterbury viii czcrse
US from having ANYTHING to do with his
urea, rny cen, Gin Exhibitions aud
Enterprise
We NIGH, here conclude cur notice OF
this affair. but it is necessary perhaps to
mention that we received with the circular
aud advertisement newspaper entitled the
broadway Bulletin, the design Of which
seems 10 be to give colo- to the enterprise
The following s specimen Of the articles
contained in it.
