_Annual Subscription-One Guinea_.

The want has long been felt, by residents in the country, of a house in London to represent their interests in those ever-recurring matters which connect them with the metropolis.

Whether for the effecting of purchases, large or small, the receipt or transmission of parcels, the receipt of interest and dividends, the inst.i.tuting of inquiries, or the general attention to requirements as various as the occasions which produce them-the country portion of the public has. .h.i.therto been unable to utilise the resources of the British capital, except through the often unpleasant alternative of troubling friends, or of an expensive, and sometimes fruitless journey to town.

This general want the firm of Messrs. O'BYRNE supplies to its subscribers at the simple charge of one guinea per annum.

For the payment, therefore, of this sum, made annually in advance, their subscribers are ent.i.tled:-

1. To have all their purchases effected, of a domestic or other character, in the London market, at a cheaper rate, and of a better quality, than can be done generally in the country.

2. To a constant address, where all letters and parcels may be sent.

3. To the supply of information on all subjects on which information can be obtained.

4. To the receipt of interest and dividends.

5. To the effecting of sales and investments.

6. To the procuring of pa.s.sages to all foreign and colonial ports.

7. To the supplying of outfits, &c.

8. To the effecting of fire and life a.s.surances, &c. &c.

Estimates provided.
