      RENT GUARANTEE 30 C 1 ETY . Extract from the Report of i the Directors of the Rent . Guarantee Society for 1858 : — . " The very troiiblesome character of House property is generally admitted , and it is notorious that large amounts of-rent areVannually lost by the employment or dishonest and inefficient collectors . Now your Directors have much pleasure in informing you that the clients of the Society readily acknowledge the assistance and relief thejrfind ^ n the management o ? this kind of property through the machinery of the Society , their rates and taxes being duly paid , requisitions for repairs promptly attended to , and * when necessary , the execution superintended , the observance or covenants duly watched and enforced , insurances kept up , &a , while the safety of the siims collected , the promptitude and punctuality with which they are paid over , with the regular and systematic accounts kept for , and rendered to , their clients , are advantages which all appreciate , and which , as they become more generally known , your Directors believe will assuredly win for the Society an increase of public favour and support .

      THE NATIONAL PUBLISHING COMPANY SOME few years back the New Quarterly Review called attention to the present system of publishing , and urged the absolute necessity for a thorough reformation . It resolutely exposed the extravagant charges made for printing' , Advertising , and Publishing , showing the utter impossibility of any profit : remaining for the author . The article was a mere seven days' wonder , producing no effect whatever on the literary world , which continued fo jog on in its usual course , complaining against Publishers in general , without giving itself the trouble , of blinking- how the evils complained of could be remedied . At last , it was determined upon to establish the NATIONAL PUBLISHING COMPANY for the express purpose of carrying into operation a sweeping measure of Publishing Reform , the provisions of which are contained in the Company ' s Circular , which will be forwarded on application . Manuscripts transmitted should bo addressed to the Manager , who will have them examined forthwith , and the Company ' s opinion of the Work , with suggestions as to size of page and typo , together with an estimate of the cost of Printing , Binding , and Advertising , forwarded .
