Absented himself from the Subscriber last night, a Mulatto Man named Mongo, a Shoemaker by trade, he stole a bouyed Creall and went off in it, He sometimes passes himself for a free man and gives himself the name of Linnard; - as it is supposed he is sheltered about Stabroek, where he has a Wife, every one is requested not to harbour him, as the utmost rigour of the Law will be used against them; also all Captains of Vessels are warned not to employ him or take him off the Country. - A liberal Reward will be given to secure and lodge him in the Barracks of this Colony, as also to any one who can substantiate the Person that shelter him and convict them of the same.
Geo. Ch. Wallace.
N.B. Any one takeing [sic] the fellow up, are requested to inform Evan Fraser Esq. of the same, who will send the necessary information to me and the reward shall be forwarded to them.
Demerary, 10th April 1810.

The Undersigned, finding that Plantains are daily becoming more scarce in the Colonies of Essequebo and Demerary, and being informed that they are still more so in Berbice - so that, should the present dry weather continue, distress similar to that formerly experienced may unhappily again prevail, - hereby offers and will engage to feed as many Negroes as any Planter may bind a burthen to him, with as many Plantains as they can eat and the customary allowance of salt fish, rum, &c. in return for their labour.
He further makes known,
That having purchased the Estate Mon Desir, in Canal No. 2, without Negroes, and not being well able to spare from the other Estates a sufficient number to get in the immense Coffee crop now on the trees, he will therefore give to any person having a Task-Gang, or any other number of Negroes, able to get in said crop, one quarter of its nett proceeds.
There are on the Estate excellent Logies, Negro Houses, and all other requisite Buildings for the dispatch of business, the comfortable accommodation of a white family, and the health of the Negroes. The situation of it is, besides, very advantageous for the cutting of timber in Hobabo Creek, as it can be brought down the side Trench of the Estate into the Canal No. 2, instead of going a great distance down the narrow Creek. An active person might therefore, perhaps find his account in stopping there after the pluck, and employing his gang in the squaring of timber, framing of Houses, building Craft, &c.
He also offers for Hire,
The Buildings in front of Mon Desir, consisting of a most convenient Dwelling House, requisite out-buildings, Garden, &c. detached from the Buildings of the Estate, and extremely well adapted for a private family.
For particulars, apply to the Undersigned, or to the Hon. V. A. Heyliger, his q.q. on Pl. La Grange, West bank of this River.
Demerary, April 9, 1810. R. B. Daly.

The Subscriber being positively determined to leave this Colony in the Month of June next, will be obliged to all those to whom he is indebted, to render in their Accounts against him for examination, on or before the 15th of May, after that period none will be accepted.

Departed this life on Saturday morning last at an advanced Age, much regretted by all those who did not know him,
A Tool of Rapacity, Calumny and Detraction.
His remains were conveyed in a Vehicle to Robb's Stelling with much solemnity, amidst the lamentations of the populace
Peace to his Manes.
He was a Man of much urbanity of manners, possessed a pure and unsullied Character, and was a true Philanthropist. - He acquired great celebrity for his Good Intentions at the close of the last Century in liberally supplying these Colonies with sour Madeira and Bung-hole Beef. His steadiness and correctness in persevering to acquire Wealth and Grandeur was unparalled [sic], for he neither cared how or by what method or means he attained his favorite object - We have learnt that at an assembly of Merchants in a great City he had acquired the appelation of Old Growl, and it has been hinted that he was deemed a surly bad fellow - His taciturnity was remarkable for he never spoke but with the bad intention of injuring the fame of others. - It was a singular circumstance that he never could be brought to understand, that when L 500 or upwards was placed at the debit of any individual's account, that it then became the Property of that Individual, - this he would not allow to be the case.
His Records were formerly kept in Cumingsburgh, but they are since removed to the dernier resort Werk en Rust.
10th April 1810.

Dill, with the first Mail for February, we are put in possession of London Papers to the 17th of that Month, (four days later than those received by the Ship Caledonia); and Barbados to the 3d inst. from which we have selected such articles of intelligence as may be most likely to gratify the political Reader.

2 o'Clock P.M. - The Sloop General Hodgson, has just come in from Barbados; she sailed on Wednesday last from thence, but brings no later News that what we received by the Mail-Boat.

Died. - On Saturday Night, Mrs. Eli, Wife of E. C. Eli Esq. Stabroek.
