      _-farUoilars-aaT'JnMe _. _tor'me-pnjenueM A VALUABLE _FREEHOLD PROPERTY , AT SOUTHAMPTON , Producing a Rental of £ 1008 a year . CAPITAL , m , _mj : ' \ . Jn 1950 Shares cf £ 10 each , —Deposit ] £ 2 per Share . Trustees—John Eerie Haberfield , Esq ., and Thomas Carlisle , Esq ., Br istoL Solidtors—Messrs . "Venning , "Naylor , and Robins , Tokenbouse-yard , London , and Mr . Edward Burges , Bristol . ¦ Bankers—Messrs . BaiHie , Ames , and Co ., and Messrs . Stuckey-s Banking Company , Br istol - Messrs . Prescott , Grote , and Co ., London . Provisionally Registered according to Act of Parliament . TO some the explanation may not be unnecessaiy , that a Tontine is an undertaking in which the parties interested embark their money in property which ultimately goes to the survivor ofa given number of lives named . In this case , in order to secure an early termination of the scheme , no life is to be nominated who is not in his or her seventieth year , or older , and the survivor will take the property . The Tents to be divided every three _yeaTS amongst the shareholders whose nominees are living , interest being paid to than annually in the meantime at 4 per cent ; and when the shares are reduced to ten , the property to be divided . Xo more than ten shares to be held on one He . This scheme affords , perhaps , more inducement for investment than any speculation that has ever been submitted to thepublic ; for not only does it offer an immense gain to the shareholder whose nominee shall be the last survivor , bnt also very great advantages at each triennial division to the much larger number whose nominees may furvive the average of the lives . For example , those who are amongst the last 200 , will be entitled at the following triennial division to the return of more than the value oftheir full capital invested . £ s . d . £ s . d . Rental for three years , at £ 1000 a year . 3000 0 0 Less interest for three years , payable on 200 shares , surviving at 4 per cent , per annum . 240 0 0 ., three years'insurance from fire on £ 19 ,-500 , at 4 s . 6 d . per cent . 13112 6 ¦ 321 12 6 _Eaiance-Brisnile among 200 subscribers •••••» £ 2626 7 6 Or dividend on each share ( of £ 10 , £ 13 2 s . 10 d _., besides 4 per cent , per annum . ) Every year there wfll necessarily be an increase of income upon that amount , and from the great ages the lives will then have attained , the increase of income must be very rapid , until the "last twenty lives will he receiving for £ 10 originallv subscribed , nearly £ 50 a year . The Annual Dividends , to such of the shareholders whose nominees shall survive , will increase in the same ratio as the lives decrease . In _confinn-jtion ef this statement . it may be observed that Mr . Arthur Morgan , fhe Actuary of the Equitable Assurance Office , has been consulted ; and it is his opinion that the decrease of the Ihes , assuming none to "be less than seventy years of age , for the first five or six years , would , according to the eeneral rate of mortality , be 129 each year . THE ADVANTAGES ARE , An immediate return for a small investment . An annual increasing income . The great probability that the shareholder will in the course of fifteen or twenty years , and perhaps at an earlier period , share in the division of tbeproperry . Tbat to aged persons inserting their own lives it offers a continually increasing annuity . To parties expecting property on fhe decease of aged holders , this Investment offers for a small sum a certain return till tbe dropping of the lives renders the income no longer an object to persons so situated . The holders of shares prodncing them _a-onuaUjr , £ 2 and upwards , will "be entitled to vote in the election Of "HHhbrJS of Tariiament for the county of Southampton . DESCRIPTION OP THE PROPERTY . The property is freehold , free from rent charge or ofher incumbrance . It is perhaps the best property as to situation in Southampton , and is let to most respectable tenants : some of the houses were let to Mr . Neeld , M . P . ; the Bishop of Salisbury ; the Countess of Willoughby ; and Sir Henry -Ocstew . As a guarantee against any undue preference , no shares have been previously promised .

"We regard the work before ns , the "Silent Friend , " as a work embracing most clear and practical view's of a series of complaints hitherto little understood , and passed over by the majority ofthe medical profession , for what reason we are at a Joss to know .

"The Authors of the "Silent Friend" seem to be thoroughly conversant with the treatment ofa class of complaints which are , we fear , too prevalent in the present day .

The consequences arising from this ' dangerous practice , are not confined to its pure physical 1 result , but branch to moral ones - leading the excited de--dating mind into a fertile field of seducive error—into a gradual but total _degradation of manhoud—into a pernicious application of those inherent rights which nature wisely instituted for the preservation ofher species ; bringing on premature decrepitude ,- and all the habitudes of old age .

      PARR'S LIFE PILLS . READ the following letter from Mr , W . Alexander , Bookseller , Yarmouth : — Great Yarmouth , Mtrrctl 11 , 1845 , Gentlemen , —Being recently at Norwich , I called upon a gentleman at his request . He said , having seen your name in a newspaper aa an agent for the sale of PARR'S PILLS , and also letters addressed to you testifying their efficacy in the cure of various complaints , 1 resolved to trythem . Ihadbeenveryunwell for two or three years , my stomach much out of order , and I constantlyfelt a painful difficulty in breathing ; I employed two medical gentlemen , and took a great quantity of medicine , but derived no benefit ; on the contrary , I found myself daily declining and getting weaker , so that I could scarcely walk from one street to another ; indeed I was in a melancholy desponding state . Accordingly , I purchased a box , and took them as directed . At the end of a Week . I was much belter , having taken , I think , Only eighteen pills ; consequently , I continued talcing them regularly , and when I had taken two boxes and a half , I becanie quite well , and to this day I have enjoyed life , having now good health and good spirits . If , however , I feel any slight indisposition , I have recourse to the medicine I have so much reason to prize , wliich restores me to my usual good health . This gentleman wished his case to be made public , although for obvious reasons he could n _« t authorise me to give his name . This timid , perhaps in some cases , prudent _cautiousness is not uncommon , A neighbouring gentleman has several times admitted to me that he derives great benefit from the _occasions ! use of Parr ' s _medicines , but will not permit me to mention it to any one . 1 am , dear Sir , yours , respectfully , WILLIAM ALEXANDER . P . S . The Pills have entirely removed the cough and Asthma . MR . HACKETT , THE CELEBRATE !) AMERICAN ACTOR , now performing in this country , gave the following important testimonial to the efficacy of PARR'S LIFE PILLS before leaving for America : — To the Proprietors of PARR'S LIFE PILLS .

      CHAMBERS' PHILOSOPHY REFUTED . Just pubUshed Price Fourpence ( forming a Pamphlet of 5 ( i pages demy 9 vo _., in a stiff wrapper ) , THE THIRD EDITION OP A FULL and COMPLETE REFUTATION of the PHILOSOPHY contained in a TRACT recently published by the MESSRS , CHAMBERS , of Edinburgh , entitled the " Employer and Employed . " This valuable little work contains the most complete defence of ihe demands of the Working Classes for their fair share of the enormous wealth created by Machinery , as well as a justification of Trades Unions . The numerous appeals that have been made , to Mr . O'Connor from nearly every part of the kingdom for the publication , in pamphlet form , of those Dialogues that bave recently appeared in the Star , have determined him to gratify what appears to be the almost unanimous wish of the Labouring Classes .

Complete in one Vol ., neatly Bound in Cloth , A PRACTICAL WORK ON SMALL FARMS . Price Two Shillings and Sixpence . BY _FEARGUS O ' COSSOR ESQ . The desire of the author has been to furnish a valuable compendium at such a price as would enable every working man to become possessed of it . It contains ¦ . U thft pV'Actical instructions , together with _Tlates , describing Farm-house , Offices , Tank , Farm-yard , & e . ; with particular information requisite for carrying out all the operations . N . B . —The above work may still be procured in numbers , price Cd . each . " I have , within the last few months , visited every part of France , and I declare that I have seen move misery in one street in Dublin than in all France ; the people are well clad , well fed , ami merry ; they are all employed on Small Farms of their oxen , or on equitable takings !" _~ - _Fide Lord _CIonciiiTj- ' s Letter in Morxiixxg Chronicle , Oct .. Wi , 1843 . Those persons desirous of bettering their condition and of becoming "Independent Labourers , " by entering the " Productive-labour" Market , will do well to read "A Practical Work on Small Farms , " by Feargus O'Conkok , Esq . It contains much useful information , invaluable to the parties for whom it was written ; and Old Farmers will find many useful lessons in the new system of husbandry , which they have yet to learn . The work displays great practical knowledge , and is written so that any one who reads may understand . Mr . O'Connor seems net to have used either the old or * ; new nomenclature' in this work ; he has not buried his meaning in chemical technijahtiw _, which very few understand , but which most writers on agriculture seem so desirous of using . _PerhftP 5 they do not understand the practice of Farming so well as ihe theory ; and , therefore , mystify that which they cannot explain , by some long chemical term , which * the plain reader may pass over as a "hard word , » hard to pro-

" vet wc _^ with much pleasure recognise in thc book i _> afore 'j ? powerful instrument for aiding in developing iii man _* much higher destiny than he has hitherto attained 8 "Mr . _O'Connorshews clearly , what will soon be apparent to all who reflect deeply , that wc are not left witliout ihe means of obtaining not only all that is phvsieallv renui site for man ' s progress , but also that wc may readily pro * dace what is apparently desirable ; for none Vliy careful ]* peruse this work can doubt that a system of small farms held by active and industrious labourers , would _amBl ' return , in exchange for healthful exertion , far more than S requisite to preserve physical strength . " He also shews thatsomethingmore thar- this is _rotiui site to ensure happiness , for he says in p »* w _W _,, « j f J convinced that man can place no reliance whatever _uiion his fellow man , or a community of men , when _circunj . stances operate upon his or their minds , the _iiithienc- * and effect of which would be stronger than any _absirac _* notions of justice . For instance , if a community of _^ bouring men purchase a quantity i'land , and hire la . bour for its cultivation , however just their intentions and pure their motives , they will nevertheless fee ! themselves justified in raising the price of the land , according to ihe improved value conferred upon it by the labour of •* - _« hired workman . This power of steadily trenching upo » the rights of others is one of the greatest _disadvantage against which the labourer has to contend ; and those hired by a community , at the end of twenty years woul be in no better condition than they were at starting , wuy , the community of proprietors would have increased the value of their property twenty-fold ; that is , they would have robbed those labourers , by whose industry the value was increased , of nineteen shillings in the pound . " " These remarks are powerful arguments in the sphere in which they are written , and if examined iu tlieir relation to the universal , they confirm the testimony that " The earth is the Lord ' s , and all that therein is ; he round world and the . y that dwell therein " fyt , after partaking freely of what is good for cacli order of creation , any self-appropriation , by whatever parties in _., dulged in , is from evil , and will produce its consequence , namely , vice , crime , and misery .

      Price Two Shillings . FIFTEEN LESSONS on the ANALOGY and SYNTAX of the ENGLISH LANGUAGE , for the use of adult persons who have neglected the study of Grammar . By NYs . Him .. Fifth edition , revised and amended . The Lessons in these works are intended solely for ihe use of natives . They are divested , therefore , of all those hair-breadth distinctions and unnecessary subdivisions in Analogy , which , if at all useful , can only be useful to foreigners . The science of Grammar is disentangled in them from the folds of mysticism which have so long en . shrouded it . The absurd and unmeaning technicalities which pervade all other works on Grammar are exchanged for terms which have a definite nnd precise meaning , illustrative of the things they represent . The Parts of Speech are arranged on an entirclynewprinciple , founded on a philosophical consideration of the nature of language . The necessary divisions and subdivisions are rationally accounted for , and the principles of Universal Gramma ** damonstraUd so fully that the meanest capacity may understand tliem as clearly as it understands that two and two make four . In Syntax , the formation of the English Language is exclusively consulted , without any unnecessary reference lo other languages . A majority of _tilfl numerous RuleB given In most Grammars arc shewn to belittle better than a heap of senseless tautology . ' The necessary Rules are demonstrated upon rational principles , and illustrated by a variety of examples . By the use ofthe fifteen lessons , and the accompanying exercises , any one may , in a few weeks , acquire . 1 good knowledge of Grammar , without any of the disgusting drudgery which , under the present system , prevents nine out often from ever acquiring a knowledge o £ Grammar at all . "A competent Grammatical knowledge of our own language is thc true basis on which all literature ought to rest . "—Bishop _Lowth , • Mr . _Hiii is evidently an original thinker , He attacks with ability and success , the existing system of English Grammar , and points out the absurdities with which it is encumbered . Justly condemning the too frequent practice of making pupils commit portions of Grammar to memory a stasks , he maintains that the only proper way to the memory is through the understanding It's but justice to him to say that , in a few pages , he gives « more clear and comprehensive view of the structure ot the English language than can be found in some very elaborate works . _"—Liferari / Gazette . " Mr . lim has discharged his task with considerable ability and no person can peruse his books with anything like attention , without obtaining a clear and sufficient estimate of the construction and laws of his vernacular tongue .

"It is calculated to give the student a correct idea of Grammatical construction—of the analogies of the language—and of the nature of the various parts of speech , Jt is simple , hut not mean ; clear , bnt not diffuse ; and there are few works in which the first principles of Grammar are better explained or more abl y followed up , "York Chronkle .
