jttbltt 3obi4► AT a MEETING of the COAL and IRON - MAST ERS, held at the HOTEL, DUDLEY, on FRIDAY, the 12th 01 February, 1836, to take into Consideration a proposed NEW LINE of CANAL from BIRMINGHAM to LONDON, MICHAEL GRAZEBROOK, Esq., in the Chair, Mr. DUGDALE HOUGHTON attended and laid before the Meeting a Plan of a Line of Canal proposed to be made between the Stratford-on-Avon Canal and the Regent's Canal at London ; and it appearing from Statements made to the Meeting, that besides the great advantage of avoid ing the passage of 124 locks, the proposed line would effect a saving between Birmingham and Loudon by Canal Con veyance of 36-1- miles—that the Reduction or Saving in the freight of Iron to London by such line would amount, ac cording to the calculation of experienced Carriers, to full Fifty per cent. on the present charge—that in respect to Coal and Coke the advantages would be equally great, and that the Saving in the freight of Manufactured Goods and General Merchandise' from . Birmingham to London, and vice versa, would amount to Twenty Shillings per ton— RESOLVED, That it appears to this Meeting that th_e_proposeclanal would afford the best and most direct line of Water C muuication practicable between the Midland District and t e Metropolis, y mi i a nd by the communication it would open wit other Canals, w o uld be the means of establishing, via Simi ham and Wol verhampton, a line of Canal Conveyan ce b e t en London and Manchester and Liverpool decidedly superior o that now ex isting; that such Communication would benefit in a highly im portant degree the Mining Districts of Staffordshire, Worces tershire, and Shropshire, and be productive of immense advan tages to the Manufacturing, Commercial, and Agricultural In terests of the kingdom at large. That the Subscribers to the Survey of the proposed Canal be requested to convene a Meeting of those desirous of promoting the undertaking, for the purpose of forming a Company, and taking all necessary measures preparatory to applying to Par 'Lament for powers to carry the plan into effect.

WIXPEII I ENCE has fully developed the advantages which 41 1 arise from Joint Stock Companies, being formed to carry on undertakings requiring an extensive Capital. A portion of the dealers in Flint Glass, an others, having met and taken into their consideration the i dequacy of the supply of Glass by the existing establishment , the great profit derivable from its manufacture, and the we -known fact, that although a considerable reduction in the has taken place, the public have derived no benefit from it, e article being sup plied at the same prices as heretofore, ha deemed the present opportunity a fitting one for the establishment of a Company to be called " THE LIVERPOOL FLINT GLASS COMPANY." 'hen the extent of the Export Trade—the evils arising from the inadequacy of supply, and the high prices before alluded to (which must bring in the competition of other nations) are con sidered the importance and utility of such an establishment will be readily granted, as well as that it will yield a liberal return to the Shareholders for their investment. • It is intended that the Company shall consist of 4000 Shares of £5 each, to be called for at such time as the Directors (to be chosen by the Proprietors at a General Meeting) shall appoint. That a limited number of Shares only shall be allotted in the first instance, and the remainder shall be retained until the Di rectors be appointed, who will issue them as thay may judge conducive to the best interests of the Company. That One Shilling per Share be paid on allotment to defray the expenses of forming the Company. That the first instalment shall be £1 per Share, and be paid within fourteen days after the appointment of Directors. That the remainder of the Calls be made at such times as the Directors shall think fit on giving one month's previous notice, and they shall not exceed . £l per Share at any one time. That every holder of 20 Shares, or upwards, be eligible as a Director,. his qualification to cease upon disposing of his Shares. That the holder of 5 Shares be entitled to one vote, 20 Shares two votes, 50 Shares, or upwards, three votes; each Share holder may vote by himself or by his proxy, such proxy being a Shareholder. That as soon as 2000 Shares are subscribed for, the Company shall be considered as formed, and a Meeting called for the pur pose of electing a Board of Directors, to consist of 5 Share holders, possessing not less than 25 Shares each, who shall con tinue in office one year—one-third retiring each year, who shall be eligible to be re-elected. That the Deed of Settlement shall contain every provision necessary for the efficient management of the Company, and the security of individual Shareholders. Applications for Shares to be made to Mr. COGLAN, Share broker, Exchange -street East, and to Mr. Evarts, Solicitor, South Crescent Chambers, Lord-street.

Fer Share. pSPECTUS of a Line of Navigation from Birmingham to London, commencing at the Strai ford-on. Avon Canal, in Warwickshire, and ending at the Regent's Canal, London, to be called "The LONDON and BIRMINGHAM CANAL NAVIGATION." The great and leading objects of the proposed undertaking are— Ist.—To effect the cheapest and most direct practicable Line of Water Communication between London and Birmingham, and the great Mining districts of Staffordshire, Worcestershire, - and Shropshire. '2.—To obtain, by the communication it will open with the Regent, Stratford, Worcester. Birmingham, Birmingham and Liverpool, Ell esmere an d Ch es t er, T ren t an d M ersey, an d Bridgwater Canals, the quickest, cheapest, and most convenient ,li_n_e_ of Canal Conveyance ' between London, Birmingham, Li ;r1)" , ;rod_ Manchester. Also by a junction with the Oxford Canal at Banbury. • ury, an improved communication to the City of Oxford. al.—To givr , the facilities and advantages of water conveyance to the val ua bl e and . i pc n tensive districts through which the pro posed hoe ofnavi.atof great and raplrapid'nn is intended to be taken—districts capable materially cont r il tutea 'pracivrent, and to which nothing can so the metropolis and the gree' cheap and di rec t communication with shire and Staffordshire. at manufacturing towns of Warwick- It must be evident that the proposed u n d er t a ki ng em b races objects of the highest natial importance, and cannot fail to produce great and almost incaleutatle advantages to the Agri cultural, Commercial, and Manufacturing Interests of the Kingdom. The extraordinary ficility that this Line woul dN give to L on- c}iester, Bi r - Walsall, Lon don and Liverpool, to the Alanufactu rers of Manchester, minghatn, Wolverhampton, Dudley, Stourbrid ge , and to the Proprietors of Mines and Works in the and counties o Stafford, Worcester, and Salop. must be obvious to ti n ie tle most superficial observer. Birmingham and Wolverhampton and the contiguous Mineral Districts would then be situated about midway bn the great thoroughfare water communication be_ tireeu London and Liverpool, and London and Manchester, and, as Vessels would be passing, incessantly in each direction, the increased facility and despatch could not but he productive of the highest advantages. The racing in distance by the pru- used route will be thirty-six miles, and the Looks Will be re duced from one hundred and xe venty-two to forty-eight. One great feature of the proposed undertaking is the opening of a cheap Communication between the Metropolis and the Great . Coal Fields of Staffordshire and Worcestershire. In the attainment of this object every Inhabitant of London ought to feel himself interested, experience every day furnishing addi tional proofs that nothing but effective competition from the interior of the kingdom can insure to the Householders of Lon don a regular and steady supply of Coal at moderate prices; perhaps it is scarcely possible for the most sanguine mind to form an adequate conception of the benefits that would result from enabling the Midland Coal Proprietor to cog ete wish the Northern Proprietor in supplying London with Coal. Mono poly would be rendered impossible, combination frustrated, and free and active competition completely secured. By the pro posed route Staffordshire Coal can be delivered in the City Basin at prices, varying in quality, from Iss. to 20s. per Ton. With a view to render this concern as exteusively useful as possible, the Rates of Tonnage will be low, and thus command that great mass of business which invariably follows moderate charges. Manure and Road Materials will be permitted to pass at low rates. Wharfs will be provided where the Canal will intersect main thoroughfares, and every encouragement be afforded to the free developement of the energies of the Districts through which the Canal will pass. The proposed Navigation will possess all the improvements of the hest modern Canals; where tunnelling is necessary, two tunnels, with s towing path under each, will be made; the sides of the Canal will be walled; and the greatest of all modern im provements, the double towing path, will be carried throughout the whole Line . Confident in the superior cheapness and convenience of Wa ter Conveyance. (particularly as regards taw materials and heavy commodities,) the promoters of this undertaking have no hesitation in submitting their plan to the public, in the face of the numerous Railways now in course of formation, every day in their judgment furnishing further and satisfact.iry proof that, though Railway Conveyance may be preferred for passengers and light goods that require despatch, and will bear high rates of transist, the great bulk of the trade of the country will still be carried on through the medium of cheap navigable com munications. The calculations as to the revenue being founded on indispu table data, the promoters of the measure have no hesitation in stating that the prospect of remuneration is in the highest de gree encouraging; and that if due consideration be given to the merits of the proposed Line, to the great extent and sim plicity of its levels, to the supei iority it will possess in respect to distance and lockage, to the well-ascertained fact that a full sup ply of water can be provided, the conclusion will be fully war ranted, that in a short time after its completion this really grand internal communication will yield such a return as will entitle it to be classed amongst the most productive and successfol un dertakings of the kind in the kingdom. According to a Mode rate estimate, full Ten per Cent. will be realized. By the proposed route Goods will be delivered in London in thirty-two hours, instead of seventy by the existing route. The saving in Freight 20s. per Ton. Applications for Shares to be made to the Solicitors, and to Mr. Geo GE PA LAI CR, '2, North Piazza, ROVitt Exchange, Lon don, according to the Form underneath, and no Shares will be secured until the Deposit is paid. London and Birminyhant Canal. Gentlemen,—l request that you wilt reserve and secure to me Shares in this Company; and in consideration thereof I agree to take the said Shares, and to pay the Deposit of £2, as mentioned in the Prospectus. SEACOMBE MARINE BUILDING LAND COMPANY. CAPITAI., .£3O,OOO—IN TOGO SHARES OF £l5 EACH; TO BE PAID Ur IN TIIRaE YEARS.—DEPOSIT, £2I'UR SHARE. THE rapidity with which the Town of Liverpool is extend ing along the east bank . of the Mersey; is gradually ad vancing the value of the Land by which it is surrounded, both in Cheshire and Lancashire, but much less soi-hitherto in the village of Seaconibe than i n an y p ar t o f the licinity, although its central situation, and nearness to the change, points it out as one of the most desirable spots i the neighbourhood. This has been chiefly occasioned by the ant of a prompt and convenient communication, an objecti now entirely removed a commanding Stone Pier, and a l //way upon an inclined plane having just been completed ' • a that, by means of a large Railway Carriage Passengers can be put on board and landed from the Steam Ferry-boats at all states of the tide, with ease and comfort. A Marine Parade, twelve yards wide, and three hundred yards long, extending from the south side of the Ferry along the beach to• the end of Wheatland-land, has been com menced : to be completed in three months. These improve ments must, ere long, considerably raise the value of Land at Seacombe; but the quantity eligible for building near the Ferry and the shore is very limitted. The land, however, secured for this Company, is without exception the most eligible that can be obtained. It is Freehold of Inheritarv, and contains about Fourteen Thousand Square Yards, extending Three Hundred yards along the north side of Wheatland-lane, with a good road in front; the depths are moderate. It commands beautiful Views up and down the river, Bidston-hill and Lighthouse; is close to sea bathing. There is abundance of clay under the whole, which, lying higher than the road, can be obtained with ease and economy;—sufficient to make 200,00/ bricks has been raised and cut. A well has also been sunk to a spring of excel lent water. It is proposed to lay this land out for the erection of Marine Villas, Cottages Ornee, a Boarding-house similar to those at the most celebrated Watering-places, with Baths, Gar dens, and a News-room. The Buildings to be upon ane uniform and handsome plan, so as to give the whole a stamp of respecta bility, which shall at once render it attractive to residents, and profitable to the proprietors. The purity of the air, and salubrity of the climate, cannot be surpassed, although but one mile from Liverpool, where the in crease of manufactories—so offensive, not to say injurious to health, renders such property as this increasingly valuable. ProApectuses, with full particulars, and couditions, and printed forms of application for Shares, to be had of Mr. CMOMAS MORECROPT, Solicitor, 31, Church-street, or to Messrs. HARIIOO 0 BANNER, SON, and THOMPSON, Share-brokers, 4, Castle -street, Liverpool, (if by letter, post paid,) where a Map of the Land may be seen ; but no applictions will be received after Saturday, the 30th April. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. 13obitO, LIVERPOOLJOIN'f STOCK DISTILLERY COMPANY. CAPITAL, £400,000. IT is a well known fact, thaaew, if any branches of manufac ture in the United Kingdom have, during the last twenty years, been so productive as the Distillation of Spirits from Corn. In proof of this, it may be observed, that,there is no in stance for many years past of a failure among Distillers, where sufficient capital and judgement in the directi of .it had been employed. Qn the contrary, the profits re zed in all Distil leries conducted with adequate means hay een enormous. The Distilleries existing in this Kino-d i are so few in num ber compared with the extent of the ade, that in some dis tricts they approach to monopoly. In iverpool there is only one. In a range of country extending to one hundred miles from Liverpool there is not another, and why, it may be asked, is this the case ? It is answered, that in ail the chief Barley Dis tricts the quality of the Barley is too good, and consequently too high priced for the purpose of Distillation; and indepen dently of this circumstance, no limited extent of district could, after supplying the wants of the Malsters, furnish sufficient quantity of Barley to meet the consumption of even a moderate sized Distillery. And if it could be procured, the expense of cat riage to any one given point would so increase its cost as to prohibit the use of it. And this obserVation applies also equally to the obtaining of Grain either from Liverpool or any o.her Port on the English Coast, as its transmission into the interior would be attended with so much expense as to preclude all chance of succesful competition on the part of Inland Distille ries. But no such objection applies to Liverpool itself. Supplies of all kinds of Grain consumed in Distilleries ale there to be found in abundance at the lowest pi ices. And its local advan tages for disposing of refuse, and for selling on the spot and for warding inim the country the manufactured article are unequal led by any town in the kingdom. The establishment therefore upon an extended scale of a second Distillei y in this town is confidently submitted to the public as a means of legitimate and profitable investment of Capital. And upon this ground it is proposed to form a Com pany to be called " The Liverpool Joint Stock Distillery Company." with a Capital of £400,000 to be divided in 16,000 shares of £2.5 each. Upon the appropriation of the Shares a deposit of £1 per Share will be required; upon the execution of the Deed of Association a further payment of £4 per Share will be called for, and at the expiration of six calendar months from that time that a further payment of per Share will be applied for, making in the whole a paid-up capital of £lO per Share. It is not expected that further advance of Capital will be required, at least, for a considerable period. At general Meetings each holder of four Shares shall be entitled to one vote, of ten Shares to two votes, and fur every additional ten Share one vote; but no Shareholder shall have more than ten votes in the whole. Votes may be giVen by written proxy held by a Shareholder. Written applications for Shares will be received by Messrs. HA !IMO() o BANNER, SON, and THOMPsoN, Share Brokers, No. 4, Castle-street, or Messrs. LOWNDES and ROBINSON, Soli citors, Brunswick-st.eet, Liverpool. HARMOO D BANNER takes this opportunity of announc ing to his friends and the public, that it is hisinteution to add to his profession of a PUEU.IC ACCOUNTANT,the businessof a SHARE BROKER; and that in the latter department he has taken into Partnership his son HARMOOD WALCOT BANNER, and Mr. WILLIAM THOMPSON, who has already had considerable experience in it. • The business of Share Brokers will be carried on at No.-4, Castle-street, under the Firm of " Harinuod Banner, Son, and Tompson."

SOLICITOR.—Joseph Mallaby, Esq. / GREAT as has been the increase of Manuf etures in this country during the last few years, in la branch of our productive industry, has such rapid strides een made, and such astonishing results.produeed, as in t Manufacture of Cotton. The facts would appear to be alm incredible toper sons not conversant with the Trade, did tl y not rest upon the unquestionable authority . of official returns from the Custom house, and other authentic sources. To 'go no further back than the last four years, it appears thw the imports of Cotton Wool were— In 1832 286 ; 832,526 lbs. „ 1833, ..303.656,837 „ „ 1834, 326,719,586 „ „ 1835 368,698,544 „ ..... . _ Thus showitig an increase of the article imported in 1835, as compared with the exportation of 1831, of Thirty-two Millions of Pounds nearly! Less than a century ago, the exports of Cottons from this country were so trilling, as not to be named by any writer in treating of the foreign commerce of the country at that period; even so recently as half a century since, the exports of Cotton were yet but small compared with the exports of Woollens ; but such has been the extraordinary rapidity of the increase, that the Cotton exports are now three times the exports of Woollens, heretofore justly considered the Staple Manufacture of the country, and the great source of its natural wealth. Of this above-named immense importation it is no less astonishing than true, that more than one half is again expor \ ted in the shape of Cotton Twist (Yarn and Thread) and Manu factured Piece Goods. The exports in 1835 were— Piece Goods, 97,822,722 lbs Value, £12,279,107 Vain 82,457,885 „ 'Thread..... 1,8 , 12,124 ~ 1835—Total exports of Cotton Manufacture-182,122,7311b5. „ Value being equal to one-h4l of the whole exports of British Produce and . Manufactures in the article of Cotton Goods alone ! The total value of the Cotton Manufactures of the kingdom is estimated (by. MiCullock, Burn, and others) at £31,338.639 sterling: the Capital employed in it at £31000,000, of which no less than £9,758.864 is embarked in Spinning Mills and Machinery alone, and it affords employment and subsistence to one million and a half of souls. These facts shoW the great importance of the Cotton Manu facture, in a national pointof view, that it is also an extremely lucrative one, is proved by the fact, that very large fortunes have been made in the course of a few years, by individuals who commenced the trade with but a very limited capital. The seat of this, the Staple Manufacture of the country, is the district of which Manchester may, he called the centre— Manchester, the great storehouse from whence are supplied the wants of all Europe, the vast continents of North and South America, the myriadsof British India, and even the countless millions of China. The great bulk of the raw mate' ial required for this immense and rapidly increasing consumption is im ported at Liverpool, and a very large proportion of the exports also, (which are annually increasing) especially those to Ame rica and the East Indies, are shipped at that port. It has long been matter of surprise, that no Branch of the Cotton Manufacture has been established at Liverpool. It possesses all the advantages and facilities enjoyed by Man chester, or any part of the extensive district over which the Manufacture is spread, with the additional ones of having the Raw Material imported on the spot, thus saving the Carriage of that article to the various parts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, Cheshire, and Derbyshire, &c., to which it is transmitted ; and also that of the Twist or Manufactured Goods, again returned for Exportation at the port of Liverpool. The extent of Steam-power that may be obtained at Liver pool is unlimited; it is equally well (if not better) supplied with fuel, and is more intimately connected with the Iron Dis tricts than any part of Lancashire or Yorkshire; and these are admitted to be three main requisites which combine to fix the principal seat of the Cotton Manufacture in the north-western part of England. Liverpool has, moreover, a large and rapidly-increasing po pulation, for vast numbers of whom, especially the youth of both sexes, the town affords no beneficial employment; while even children, who can do nothing else for a livelihood, and who are a burden to the poor-rates, may be profitably employed in a Cotton Factory. In Manchester and the surrounding district, on the contrary, there is at this moment a great. want of hands to supply the urgent demands for completing the extensive orders already re ceived; and it may be fairly stated, that in general the supply of hands in the Cotton Factories is inadequate to the demand. To supply this deficiency, and to afford to Liverpool an oppor tunity of profiting by the advantages, natural and accidental, which it possesses in relation to the Cotton Trade, it is pro posed to establish a JOINT STOCK COMPANY, under the above title and on the following conditions, viz. : 1. The Capital Stock of the Company to consist of £500,000, in 100,000 Shares of £5 each,—the property to be vested in Trustees, for the greater simplicity and convenience of the commercial transactions of the Company. 2. As soon as 25,000 Shares shall have been subscribed for, the Company shall be considered as formed, and an appropria tion of the Shares will take place, by the Provisional Com mittee, due regard being had to the interests of the Town of Liverpool. 3. Each Subscriber, upon receiving his letter of appropria tier), to pay within seven days from the date thereof, a deposit of two shillings and sixpence per Share, to the credit of the Provisional Committee, to be applied to defraying the expense of instituting the Company. 4. The Shares to be transferable, the holder of the receipt for the deposit, and the Bankers' receipts for the subsequent calls, to be deemed the owner of the Shares in respect of which such deposit and call or calls shall have been paid, until a formal and legal transfer can be made in the books of the Company. 5. The affairs of the Company to be under the management and controul of a Board of five Directors, to be chosen at the first. General Meeting of the Subscribers; two of the Directors to retire annually in rotation, but may be re-elected ; the vacancies to be filled up at a General Annual Meeting convened specially for that purpose. 6. At all General Meetings of the Company, the holder of 10 Shares to have one vote; 30 Shares, two votes; 60 Shares, three votes; 100 Shares, four votes; and one vote for every additional fifty Shares. A Subscriber may vote by his or her proxy, in writing or print, signed with his or hey name, and placed in the hands of any person, being a Subscriber, for that purpose. 7. The Shareholders to pay a first call of £l. per Share to the Company's Bankers within 21 days after the Directors shall have been chosen; a second call of £1 per Share within 60 days afterwards ;'and the residue in such portions, and at such times, as the Directors shall deem requisite, but three months' previous, notice to be given of every such intended call. Fail ing to pay the first call, within the time specified, shall involve the forfeiture of the Shares in respect of which it is payable; interest to be charged after the time specified for the payment of the second call, and the Shares to be forfeited if not paid within 3(1 days after it becomes due. 8. A Deed of Settlement to be prepared, which shall contain all necessary provisions for the security of the Shareholders, and the general management of the affairs of the Company. 9. If at any time one-fourth of the subscribed capital should he lost, the Company shall be thereby dissolved, unless a majority of the Shareholders in number and value should determine otherwise at a general meeting specially convened to consider the suhject, and agree to pay the dissentients the then value of their Shares. 10. In order that no unnecessary delay should take place in bringing this Company into active operation, the Provisional Committee shall have power to contract for the purchase of Land for an eligible site for erecting the necessary Buildings, to procure Plans and Estimates, and make such other prelimi nary arrangements as they may deem necessary.

SUFFICIENT' experience in the working of / Joint Stock Companies in extensive mercantile or coati ercial pursuits has proved to the trading community and capi ist their utility and benefit when directed to objects requiring extensive capital and combination of talent. Hence it is inferred that the importati n and purchase of Cotton offers an extensive field for the usef and profitable em ployment of a large capital, as demonstrated by the following returns from official documents, showing tbat the amazing quantity of 361,698,533 lbs. weight of Cotton Wool was imported into Great Britain during the year 1835, the'value of which in its raw state being no less a sum thaefinsrieen millions five hun dred and ninely-seven titoasand two hundred and eighty-one pounds sterling; that out of this one mitlion three hundred and . fifty-six thousand seven hundred and ninei,y-four pounds sterling was exported, leaving thirteen millions two hundred and forty thousand four hundred sind eighty-sic pounds sterling for home consumption. The number of Cotton Factories at work in Great Britain during the same period amount to the number of 1.070, 1,011 of which are in the counties of Lancashire, York shire, Cheshire, and Derbyshire; or, in other words, twenty seven out of twenty-eight parts of all the Cotton Mills of Great Britain are in Manchester and the districts immediately sur rounding it; so that Manchester must be deemed the best situa tion for the general Depot for Cotton. Tne advantage of a Joint Stock Company of this description— its beau Establishment in Manchester—based upon strict prin ciples of integrity, with a Board of Directors elected from a class of mercantile men possessing property, knowledge, and integrity—seeking no unfair competition—conutenancing no hazardous speculation--mt simply endeavouring to benefit the manufacturing community by shielding the Cotton Trade from ruinous fluctuation of prices so frequently occurring, occasioned by the caprice or speculation of individuals—must be obvious to ' every person interested in the prosperity and welfare of the Cotton manufacture at large. The primary objects to be obtained are— lst.—To encourage the growth and improvement of the Cot ton Plant where most desirable. 2.—To guard against the admixture of an inferior with the superior quality, and to effectually provide against fraudulent packing. 3d.—T6 purchase from the growers upon the most advan taoeaus terms that can be had for cash. '4th.—To guard as much as possible against the fluctuation and sudden advance, in the price of Cotton, frequently caused by individuals for their own private gain in the absence of any lea , or just cause. To aid obtain these profit are the objects of the p romoters o f th i s desiderata, and. o.procure the Shar e h o ld er a fair undertaking. Arrangements for:.Foreign Agencies are not yet complete, but the Directors willlnot fail to make this department efficient. It is, therefore, proposed to establish a Compauyunder the denomination above named, in 50,000 Shares of £5O each. The Subscribers to pay down 2s. 6 1 per Share upon allot. ment towards the expenses incurred and incidental ' te the fortna tion of the Company, £5 per Share within six weeks after the _ appointment o f 'Di r ectors, and a further sum of per Share within three months after that time; the remaining £4O per. Share at such time and in suclurnatiner as the Directors may appoint. No Call to exceed £lO per Share, and three months' notice to be given previous to each Call being made. The affairs of the Company to be managed by a Board of 1 Directors elected from among the Shareholders, one part to consist of gentlemen resident in Liverpool, and the rest of resi, denls in Manchester and the neighbourhood. That at any General Meeting of Shareholders each person may vote for himself or for any other Shareholder by holding his or her written proxy. The. Votes to be regulated thus:— Five shares, one vote; ten shares, two votes; fifteen shares, three votes; thirty shares, four votes; and for every additional fifty shares, two votes. • Any Shareholder holding Twenty Shares, or more, to be eli gible to become a Director. Shareholders, whether dealers or consumers, making pur chases will have the benefit of established credit with the Coal. pasty in proportion to the amount of the value of their Shares. That the Provisional Committee forward the preliminary arrangements, and, as soon as they deem it necessary, call a General Meeting of the Subscribers, to be held iu Mauchester, for the election of Trustees and Directors. That immediately after the appointment of Directors a Deed of Settlement be prepared containing all necessary provisions for the protection of the. Shareholders. That an Annual General Meeting be held in Manchester, or in Mancheste► and Liverpool alternately, as may be agreed, to declare the affairs of the Company, appoint Directors, Ste. That Mr. Ackers, of Manchester, be Solicitor to the Provi sional Committee.

Liverpool, a town second in importance to none in the U ted Kingdom but the Metropolis itself. is daily becoming xtensive resort for parties of similar circumstances; thus t value of Land in its neighbourhood is continually and pro ressively enhancing, thereby rendering the present undertaking not only one of safe i nve stment, hut one of early lucrative return. The Povisional Committee have, on behalf of the intended Company, obtained an offer, ou most advantageous terms, of the well-known Property of FAIRFIELD, containing about 270,000 square yards of Land, with the Mansion-house thereon —a site peculiarly well adapted for the present undertaking, possessing extensive views over Knowsley Park to the east, and the River Mersey, with the woods of Easthana and the Welsh hills to the west, and being in the immediate vicinity of th e New Botanic Gardens; which latter circumstance suggest ed the name adopted, " Montpelier," a city renowned for the beauty of its surrounding villas, with the first botanic garden ever established in Europe. It is intended to erect Four Neat Lodges with Park Gates, the Interior to be considered as private, somewhat after the manner of Pittville, Cheltenham; thus retaining the privacy of country residences within two miles of the Liverpool Exchange, having public conveyances passing and re-passing numerous times in the day, along the adjacent highroads, and within ten minutes walk from the new passenger station forming by the Liverpool and Manchester Railway Comyany at the head of the new tunnel.

T4 IVERPOOL, a town which, in wealt nd importance, yields the palm of superiority to none • the United King dom, London alone excepted, and in wh' there are so many wealthy, influential and enterprising iN rchants, who have so successfully, prosecuted their trade every quarter of the °lobe, is still, notwithstanding her oth umerous establishments, in want of one,—that one is, a Coin any for the Spinning of Cotton Twist, Manufacture of Power-Loom Cloth, and Bleach ing. In bringing an establishment of this nature to the notice of' the Public, it will, perhaps, be expected that some satisfactory proofs should be given that such is not a chimera, which in the end will not only be unserviceable to the Public, and unprofita ble to the Shareholders, but which, on the contrary, will be both profitable and serviceable. No stronger proof that the latter will be the case need to be adduced, than to point to the extraordinary success which has attended the Spinners and Power-loom Manufacturers of Man chester, Stockport, Preston, Blackburn, &c., &c., which will at once demonstrate, without here having recourse to the aid of figures, that a more profitable undertaking cannot easily be at tempted. In Liverpool, the advantages which this establish ment will hold out to the merchant will be important, in the items of Carriage and Commissions alone. In time it may be deemed prudent to add Print Works, and also an Establishment for the Spinning of Flax, which is ano ther very important article of consumption. These are facts which must forcibly come home to the mind of every intelligent Merchant. It is, therefore, proposed to-form a Company, to be called The Liverpool Union Commercial Company, to be guided by the following REGULATIONS. 1. The Capital to be £500,000, in £25,000 Shares of £2O each. 2. One Shilling per Share to be paid on allotment of Shares; £l. per Share in fourteen dayS after election of Directors, and the remainder as may hereafter be determined upon. 3. Should the business of the Establishment require exten sion, in a matter profitable to the Shareholders, the Directors to ,be empowered to increase the Capital by the creation of a _further quantity of Shares. A General Meeting of the Share holders to be held to take this point into consideration. 4. No call to be made without one month's notice being given of suc h ca ll b y advert i sement, an d no ca ll to e x cee d £2 - 10 s. per share. 5. The Deposit of ls.pe: Share to be applied to the expenses necessary for the formation of the Company. 6. No Shareholder can be qualified as a Director, unless he be a holder of at least 100 Shares. 7. A Proprietor of 10 Shares to have one vote, 30 Shares two votes, 60 Shares three votes, and of 100 Shares and up wards, five votes. 8. 'The responsibility of the Shareholders to be restrictedio the amount of their respective subscribed capital. 9. Two General Meetings of Proprietors to take place in every year. First, in first week in January; second, in first week in July. No Proprietor to he allowed to vote at such meetings unless he has been such at least aix months previously to such meetings. The meetings to he convened, by circular, from the Secretary, in behalf of the Directors. 10. The Directors to be empowered to build and construct suitable Premises; contract for machinery; engage managers; and other subordinate servants, at fixed salaries; and to take all other necessary measures for the completion of the Establish ment. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11.

PROSPECTUS OF THE LIVERPOOL MERCHANTS' JOINT STOCK SALT COMPANY. CAPITAL, £250,000, in 10,000 SHARES OF £25 EACH. T HE immense injury whi c h th e M erc h an t s an d Shi p O wners of this Port have sustained, in consequence of the present combin ationclo,iiti of the Salt Proprietor s t o su pp or t th e e*ceedingly high rates, is too well known to require m comment; it may be proper , however, to observ e , th a t ill' portion of our trade has suffered a very material diminutio , while our rival port, Gloucester, as well as several ports i 'r anee , Sp a i n , an d Por tugal, have been reaping a proporti ate benefit. Previous to the combination being entered int the annual export of Salt averaged 375,000 tons; but, owing to the proceedings of the present monopoly, it has been reduced to about 250,000 tons; thus drawing from our port the annual exportation of 125,000 tons. For several years previous to the existence of the combina tion, Common Salt was selling at from Bs. to 9s. per ton,.and Stoved and other Salt in proportion ; but since the establish ment of the monopoly it has been increased to 12s. 6d., thus in creasing the price of the article from 45 to 50 per cent.; and a still further advance is in contemplation. As Merchants and Shipowners generally may not be ac quainted with the reason why these high prices are sustained, it may be well to remark, that the enormous profits which were realised, during the period the Salt' Manufacturers were under the survey of the Excise, induced them to take long leases of their works at high rents, in the full expectation that there would be no alteration in the then existing laws, and that their profits would in nowise be diminished. A considerable portion of such leases remain still unexpired, and, as the profits are considerably reduced to what they were when from 10s. to 255. per ton were the sellin g prices, the pre sent combination has been entered into to support those who may be thus circumstanced, us well as to prevent a fair compe tition in the trade. To do away with this monopoly, it is proposed to form a Joint Stock Company, to consist of 10,000 Shares at £25 each, and to be conducted upon such principles as will ensure the constant supply 'of a good article, at a remunerating price to the Com pany, as well as being advantageous to the purchaser, and not subject him to such fluctuations in the value as he has for the last few years been compelled to submit to, whereby a large portion o . t . Shipping has been driven to seek those advantages in foreign ports which we are so well calculated to afford in our Own. _ _ Among the advantages to be derived from such a Company having suiiable Works erected in the vic'nity of the Port, where Coasting Vessels might load as they now do at Gaeston, the fol lowing may be enumerated, viz., 1. That a consideiable saving would be effected in bringing Rock Salt to the Works to be manufactured, from the well known fact, that, with the assistance of salt water, one ton of Rock will yield at least 25 cwt. of maaufactuied salt; conse quently, of the Weaver dues, and freight to be charged upon the Rock brought down, (s a y l s . r i ver dues, and freight 3s. per Ton,) there would be a considerable saving in these items alone .independently of the increase; for, were the article manufac tured up the Weaver, the dues and freight would become chargeable upon the weight of the manufactured article instead of tha raw material. 3. That a saving would be effected in the purchase of fuel, which forms a serious item in the manufacture of Salt, as the Weaver dues would be entirely avoided by sending to Runcorn, or entering into an arrangement with some of the Coal Pro prietors of St. Helen's, to deliver at the Works. 3. That the advantage of always being able to supply, in a few hours' notice, whatever quantity might be required by ves sels in any of our Docks, would cause all parties, except th ose personally interested in Works up the Weaver, to apply to the Company, as they would not be compelled to wait for several days in a state of uncertainty whether they would be able to re ceive their supply or not, the Flats bell). so frequently detain e d at Weston Point from want of water, or by contrary winds, and the water of the Weaver being frequently run off for a period of fourteen or fifteen days at a time. 4. That the present prices are exorbitantly high may be proved from the circumstance of Common Salt having been sold for years at from Bs, to 9s. per ton, and Stoved and other Salt in proportion, thus advancing the price of the article from 45 to 50 per cent.; consequently, if the minimum selling price be limited to 10s., and the expense of manufacturing be taken even at Bs. per ton, there would still be a direct profit of 25 per cent. on the outlay, with a still greaterper tentage on the more profitable manufacture of Stoved Salt, independently of the ad vantage to be derived from the Company employing their own Flats, which generally (although paying a handsome profit) are a separate and distinct interest. That the idea of having Works erected in the vicinity of the Port (which may afford to pay a profit on the outlay) may not be considered merely chimerical, reference need only be made to the Works on the . banks of our river, at Garston and Dun geon, the highly respectable proprietors of which have for the last century carried on an extensive and profitable business, although compelled to bring their Rock through the river Weaver to their Works on this river, and have successfully competed with the manufacturers on the Weaver. Independently of the considerations already adduced, there is one circumstance which must not be kept out of view, viz., the probability that in a very short period the East India mo nopoly in this article' will be thrown open to fair competition, which will no doubt prove highly beneficial to the manufac turers in this district, especially as our trade with all parts of the eastern hemisphere is rapidly on the increase. That the name of the Company be "THE LIVERPOOL MERCHANTS' JOINT STOCK SALT COMPANY" The affairs of the Company to be managed by twelve Direc tors, each holding twenty-five shares, or upwards; five to be a quorum. The Shares to be appropriated on the 30th of April instant, £2 per Share to be paid on allotment, and further calls to be made at the discretion of the Directors. No individual to hold inure than one hundred Shares in the Company. A holder of five Shares to have one vote; of twenty-five Shares, two votes; and for every twenty-five Shares, beyond the first twenty4ive, an additional vote; so that the holder of one hundred Shares will be entitled to five votes. Applications for Shares, with christian 'and surname, resi dence and profession of the Applicants, to be sent, under cover, to the Office of Messrs.

FIFE JUNCTION RAILWAY, CIONNECTING the County of FIFE with the Counties on the North side of the TAY, on the one hand, and those on the South side of the FORTH on the other, th s forming a link of union between the Ferries on the Fort and the Tay, by connecting the Dundee and Newtyle ailway, with its branches to Cupar and Glammis, the Dun .e, Forfar, and Ar broath Railways, presently before Pa nent, .and their in tended extension of them to Kirriemuir, rechin and Montrose,, as well as the propos e d R a il wa y from Dundee to Perth, with the great Railways on the south of the Forth, particularly the Edin burgh and Glasgow Railway—the Edinburgh, Haddington, and Dunbar Railway—the Edinburgh, Leith, and Newhaven Rail way, and the Edinburgh, Dalkeith, and Leith Railway; and being a branch from the great Trunk Railway prnpused to be extended from London by York to the Scottish metropolis. The advantages of a rail Way connecting together districts of the country so very populous and advancing, and passing through a highly culti va t e d li ne, f ert il e i n i ts agr i cultural, and abounding in it? mineral productions, aro too apparent to re-' quire to be commented on. Indeed it is difficult to select a portion of country of equal ex tent in the kingdoin, which presents so many facilities and ad-' vantages for a railway communication as the country betwixt the Fife and Tay ferries. The intercourse between Fife and the. Lothians on the south, and Forfarshire on the north, is even at present very great; and some idea of the extent of the in creased communication may be formed, when it is considered that during the year 1835 there were upwards of 75,000 passen gers between Newhaven and Burntisland, Pettycur, and Kirk aldy, and upwards of 34,000 between Newhaven ; Dundee, and Aberdeen, ttc. _ _ The quintity of goods which would be carried along a railway connecting the two ferries would be very considerable. The manufactures of Dundee and o f th e oth er t owns on the lines of the railway on the north, would be brought to the markets in the south in a cheap and speedy manner; and the articles of commerce sent from the south being carried at a comparatively cheap rate, would find a ready market in the populous and flou rishing towns of Dundee and Perth. Looking at the internal resources of the county of Fife alone; abounding as it does in coal and limestone, a very considerable traffic might fairly be expected, when the want of these articles on the north of the Tay is considered. There are at present imported into Dundee about 300,000 tons of Scotch coals an nually. If a cheap and speedy cemmunication by a railway through the coal district of Fife was formed, the greater part of thisslarge quantity might be fairly calculated upon as part of the railway traffic. There are likewi se u p war d o f 100 , 000 b o ll s o f . lime imported into the ports of Perth and Dundee, besides im portations into the intermediate ports. • Impressed with a consideration of the great advantages to the country at large, whiCh the form a ti on o f - a railway between the Fife and Tay ferries would produce, it has been resolved by a number of gentlemen to endeavour to carry it into effect, and that as promptly, economically, and beneficially for the share holders and the public as its great accessibilities will admit. THE LINE. The two termini of the line are proposed to be Port on Craig or Newport on the north, and Burntisland, or wherever the proposed low water pier shall be erected, on the south. In re gard to its intermediate direction, the line which shall be ascer tained to be most advantageous, on the report of eminent engi neers, will be adopted. THE EXPENSE. The distance between the extremities of the line will be about thirty-two miles, and when respect is paid. to the recent great improvements in the formation o f R a il wa y s , it i s expected- that the cost will be less than £lO,OOO a mile, but it has been deemed expedient to have a capital to the extent of this rate, being' £320.000, by which means a steady and s ure p rogress i on an d completion of the work may be relied on. THE PROFIT. Considering that the county of Forfar is internally destitute of, and that Vile abounds in coal, and considering the facilities which would be given to the ports of Kirkaldy or Dundee fur exporting the agricultural, and mineral, and manufacturing' productions of the county of Fife, a very great source of reve nue would be thence derive,!. In passengers, however, the greatest reliance for a revenue, may be placed. The number of passengers .at present is up wards of 90,000 annually, exclusive of those travelling farther' north, and who would also avail themselves of the railway through Fife. But say that the increase of passengers was only to the extent of one half of this gross number, or 135,000 throughout the line, and nearly as many for intermediate dis tances, but say altogether 250,000 passengers for various dis tances, this would yield yearly. Goods, consisting of coal, Lime, grain, flax yarn, &c. &c., carried along the railway, at least lB,OOO 0 0 Deduct exp ense o f ma i ntenance, and manage- £53,250 0 0 ment, convey ance, &c 35,5 0 Ct.

(Name and residence of Applicant.) THE LIVERPOOL UNION MILLS. ryi HE Projectors of this Company have contemplated its -1 formation for some months, and though the present an nouncement is made at a period in one respect unfo tunate, on account of the numerous speculations now afloat, me of which have thrown discredit with many persons on newly formed Kee Joint Stock Companies, vet the Proje o have been led to announce this Company . at the present tii on this very account, in order that the attention of the Ilahab ants of Liverpool and the Neighbourhood may be directed to its advantages, which come home to every one of them, before Capital has been other wise embarked. ' The complaints of Adulterated Bread and of high prices have been too general and well founded to .require any parti cular elucidation of their truth, and the high price of Bread its the last year, at a time when Wheat was unprecedently cheap, is fresh in the recollection of every one. To obviate these complaints and to supply this town and neighbourhood with good unadulterated Bread at a cheap rate, a Company will be established in Liverpool for th e G r i n di ng o f Corn and the making of Bread on a scale commensurate with the demand which the utility of such a Company may rea sonably be expected to ensure. The Shareholders being Consumers of their own Bread, a certain guarantee will be thereby given that it will be good, wholesome, and unadulterated, which will alone recommend the undertaking to the Public, and to the poorer classes in parti cular, as deserving of support. • . As an eligible i n ve s t men t f or C a pit a l, it i s conce i ve d t h e un dertaking cannot fail to answer the expections which its Pro jectors have formed, from the success of similar Companies in other large towns. . It is also proposed to erect the Mills on such a scale that, independently of Grinding sufficient for the Company's own consumption, they will also be enabled to carry on an extensive business as Millers, a business so lucrative, that alone it would bring in a liberal return for the Capital to be invested. The Capital required for the efficient working of the Coin panv wilt not exc ee d £150,000. including the Purchase of Land, and the Erection of Mills and other Buildings, and suitable Machinery. It is intended that the Company shall be called " THE -LI VERPOOL UNION MILL COMPANY," and with the view of extending the interest in the Company as far as possible amongst the llousekeepvrs at large, and uniting all classes and interests in its support, it is proposed to raise the required Capi tal in 15,000 Shares of £lO each. The Management to he vested in Five Directors, each hold:- ing 50 Shares, and Three to be a quorum. The Directors to be chosen at the first meeting of the note holders, which will be held within ten days after the allotment of Shares, and of which due notice will he given. At the first General Meeting the holder of five Shares, or un der, will have one vote ; the holder of ten shares two votes; and the bolder of twenty shares or upwards two votes, and one additional vote for every ten shales above the first ten ; each Shareholder to be allowed to vote by proxy, such proxy being a Shareholder The right of voting at future meetings to be then fixed. The proposed regulations of the Company will be laid before the Shareholders at their first General Meeting, and a Deed of Association will be prepared, pursuant to the regulations then adopted, which deed will be executed by each Shareholder within twenty one days after the meeting. The shares of those persons who shall not execute the deed within the time limited shall be forfeited, and the deposit paid by them become part of the funds of the Company. - The object being, not to fill up the share list rapidly, but to give to the housekeepers of Liverpool and its neighbourhood an opportunity of satisfying themselves of the eligibility of the pro posed undertaking, and thereby to establish the Company et the outset on a firm and extended basis, the share list, notwith standing the very numerous applications for shares, will not be closed until Friday, the 29th instant, and the allotment of shares will be made on the following day, and notice immedi ately given to each Sh are h o ld er. A dposit of El per share must be paid within seven days after the allotment of shares, into the hands of the Bankers to the Company, to the account of the Provisional Committee , and such persons who have not paid the deposit will not be al lowed to vote at the first general meeting, but their shares will be forfeited. The subsequent calls will be made by the Directors as re quired, but a larg,er sum than per share shall not be called for at one time, and one month's notice shall be (riven of each call.—An arrangement will be recommended at' the genera% meeting for allowing parties desirous of haying up the full amount of their shares, to do so and receive interest on their money, ..- - Copies of the Prospectus, and printed forms of application , of Shares, may he obtained, and applications 'for, Sllares lit"; he left at the" Offices of Mr. COG I.
