BANKERS. Messrs. Prescott, Grote, Ames, Cave, and Grate. ■ THE objects of this Institution are to grant adequate rates JL of Annuity to parties disposed to invest Capital in this manner, and to offer to others the means of obtaining a provi- sion, at an advanced age, on fair and reasonable terms. In the one case, the Company afford to persons unconnected with, or retiring from trade, one of the best possible modes of securing a competency for the remainder of life; and, in the other case, it presents to the Public a new system of Assurance, of which the benefit, in each case, is not to be enjoyed by others, after the death of the Subscriber, but by the Subscriber himself, at that period of life, when it is evident that it will be most ser- viceable, even if it do not become necessary. The "CITY OF LONDON" Company, having subscribed an amply-sufficient Capital for the complete security of the As- sured, and having the power of disposing of that Capital in the purchase of, or in Loans on well-secured Life-Interests and Reversions; and being always enabled to calculate, before- hand, the precise amount of claims that may, at any time, be made upon its funds, and the exact times at which such claims will respectively become due, is enabled, with perfect safety, to present to the public the highly-advantageous rates of An- nuity set forth in the Prospectus, a few specimens of which are exhibited in the annexed comparative Table. The truly-important advantages offered by the published Ta- bles of Deferred Annuities, will be made evident by the follow- ing example:- 1. A Male, aged 25, (next birth-day,) may, by the mere saving of Seven Shillings and Ten-Pence weekly in his expen- diture, secure the ample provision of £ 100. a year, to commence at the early age of Fifty, and to be thenceforth continued during the remainder of his life. The like ample provision may be secured to a Female of the same age, by the weekly saving of only Eight Shillings and Five-Pence.

It is believed the Bryn-maen Minerals are accessible at a moderate outlay, from the workings of each of the above-mentioned companies. The surface of this Tenement was lately let at £24. per annum; and an offer of <g40. per annum was lately made, for the purpose of forming a Reservoir upon a portion of it. The Sheep- walk on the adjoining mountain is of considerable extent, and, to a tenant possessing sufficient capital, would be of considerable value. Lot 3. All that FREEHOLD FARM, with the excellent Messuage and Out-buildings thereunto belonging, called or known by the name of LLW YN-HINFER, in the occupation of Mr. William Llewellyn, containing by estimation 34 acres (more or less), situate in the parish of Bedwas, near Bedwas Church.

Lot 5. All the COAL and other MINERALS UNDER the said Farm of PEN-Y-DERRY; and also the PEN-Y- DERRY LEVEL, and all that part of the COURT-Y BELLA LEVEL, which passes under the said Farm. It is believed there are at least eight acres of the Upper Vein (an excellent Red-Ash Coal) and nearly all the Lower Vein unworked. The working of the Pen-y-derry Celliery was, discontinued, owing to the death of the late Llewellyn Lle- wellyn, and the then peculiar posture of his affairs. The 'Pen-y-Derry Level being in good repair, and the rails therein being already laid, this piece of Coal well deserves the at- tention of persons already in the trade. The Pen-y-Derry and Cotirt-y-Bella Levels are most conveniently situate for the draining and working of an extensive Coal Field lying on the rise of the said Levels, and by which a considerable income for way-leaves will be realized at a not very distant period. Messrs. Prothero and Phillips, of Newport, claim an exclusive right to use the Court-y-Bella Level until the 1st of February, 1840, but that right is disputed. N.B. Lots 4 and 5 may be contracted for together or sepa- rately. For further particulars, apply to Mr. MAUGHAN, Dudley, or to Mr. MOSTYN, Solicitor, Usk. February, 1840.
