The London Times states, that tiie British Ministry 

 have in contemplation an important plan for the relief 

 am] benefit of the people. They intend to form an estab- 

 lishment in every parish, under the guaranty of Govern- 

 ment, forthe granting of annuities. A person paying 3d a 

 week from the age of 15 is to be entitled after the comple- 

 tion of his 60th year, to an annuity of £20 for life ; and if 

 he prcfeis to pay I8d a week, to an annuity of the same 

 amount from the age of 35. Persons paying £071 Ills, 

 once, are to have considerable advantages held out to 

 them, and the annuity of £30 will be allowed at a stated 

 period. The poor who may become subscribers, arc to 

 receive the benefit now enjoyed by the proprietors of 

 those institutions in which annuities are granted. If at 

 any period a subscriber chooses to withdraw what he 

 has thus deposited he is at liberty to do so, but will have 

 no clairnto interest, though from the time when the an- 

 nuity becomes payable, the privilege of withdrawing' the 

 principal is to cease.

STEAM RICE MILL, AT SOUTH BOSTON. 



THE subscriber having purchased the Patent Rice Machines 

 of Messrs. Strong, Moody &. (_'o. of Northampton, with the 

 exclusive privilege of using* them in Boston and a large vicini: 

 (y. has put them in operation at South Boston, near the Free 

 Imdge. It is well known that rice in its rough slate, or with 

 its outer hull on. will keep many years, and that after been 

 cleaned, it is subject (particularly in warm weather) to weavil, 

 and other insects, and is usually put in bad casks — he therefor.- 

 hopes, by having this article always in a fresh state, in casks of 

 different sizes, to meet with a ready sale. The mode of clean- 

 ins- being entirely different from any other now in use in any 

 other country, the grain is kept quite whole and very clean, it 

 will be put in good casks of usual size, for export 5 also in bar- 

 rels and half barrels, and in bags of 100 lbs. each, (which may 

 be returned ;) also ground into fine Flour, in quarter barrels — 

 it will be delivered in any part of the city, for a reasonable 

 charge, ami will not be sold in smaller quantities. Also, the 

 fine Bran, or Flour, so called in the Southern Slates, being the 

 inner coat of the grain, excellent food for hors es, cow-;, noes, 

 sheep and poultry — and the outer Hull, a prime article for 

 packing <rla*s. aiockery, bottles and fruit, and- is believed will 

 prove valuable in making Coarse Paper, will be sold at a low 

 price in large quantities. 



This Rice is particularly recommended for whaling ship, 

 and others going long voyages, as from being highly poh'shed- 

 and free from dust and flour, and being put into their tight iron 

 bound casks, it will be free from any insects, until exposed to 

 air.

 Office in the area of the City Hall, and a sample of the Ritfe in
