That the Subscribers to the Survey of the proposed Canal be requested to convene a Ileeting of those desirous of promoting the undertaking, for the purpose of forming a Cirnpany, and taking all necessary in .astires preparatory to applying to Par liament for powers to carry the plan into effect.

IiaROSPECTUS of a Line of Navigation from Birmingham to London, commencing at the Stratford-on-Avon Canal, iu 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 10.—To effect the cheapest and most direct practicable Line of Water Cointnunication between London and Birmingham, and the great Mining districts of Staffordshire, Worcestershire, and Shropshire. 2d.—To obtain, by the communication it will open with the Regent, Stratford, 'Wateester, Birmingham, Birmingham and Liverpool, Ellesmere and Chester, Trent and Mersey, and Bridgwater Canals, the quickest, cheapest, and most convenient line of Canal Conveyance between London, Birmingham, Li verpool, and Manchester. Also by a junction with the Oxford Canal at Banbury, an improved communication to the City of Oxford. 31.—T0 give the facilities and advantages of water conveyance to the valuable and extensive districts through which the pro. posed line of navigatien is intended tube taken—districts capable of great and rapid improvement, and to which nothing can so materially contribute as n cheap and direct cotninueieation with the metropolis and the great manufacturing towns of Warwick shire and Staffordshire. It insist be evident that the proposed undertaking embraces objects of the highest national importance, and cannot fail to produce great and almost incalculable advantages to the Agri cultural, Commercial, and Manufacturing Interests of the Kingdom. • The extraordinary facility that this; Line would give to Lon don and Liverpool, to the Manufacturers of Manchester, Bir mingham, Wolverhampton, Dudley, Stourbridge, and Walsall, and to the Proprietors of Mines : and Wanks in the counties of Stafford, Worcester,.and Salop.; must be obvious to the must superficial observer. Birmingham and Wolverhampton and the contiguous Mineral Districts would then be situated about midway on the great thoroughfare water communication be tween London and Liverpool, and London and Manchester, and, as Vessels would be passing incessantly in each direction, the increased facility and despatch could not bat ho productive of the highest advantages.• The saving:in distance by tits pro posed rotate toilf be thirtylfix miles, and tae ,Locks will. be reduced . from or. huudied and seventy-twv forty-eight: ." • • • OPC *rut feetuee of the propoito unslertaking,ts 11, opening .. , nriC,C4 l Sftp •IhnigrabvpiNt between tfie Aletropitit '11011.1.11e Great CoallPtilT4j'aT th44rdehireAund iWurefetelike. .tritbs attaimneta of tlAit 914144 lAt4 4 .

Mono poly would be renderedlimpossible, combivation frustrated, and free and active corqpetition completely'sectired. By the pro posed route Staffordshire Coal can he delivered is the.

Rates of Tonnage will below, and thus corriniand 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, anti every encouragement be afforded to the free develortement of the energies of the Districts through which the Canal will pass. The proposed Navigation will possess all the improvements of the best modern Canals; where tunnelling is necessary, two tunnels, with a 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 it 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 satisfactory proof that, though Railway Conveyance may be preferred for passengers and light goods that require despatch, and will hear high rates of transist, the great hulk 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 super 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 asqsll yield such a return as will entitle it to.be classed amongst the most productive and successful no. dertakings of the kind in the kingdom. ACcordinrs to a mode - - rate estimate, full: Ten per Cent. will he realized. •By the proposed route Goods will be delivered in London in thirtystWo hours, instead of seventy by the existing route.

The publicity of their proceedings, and the sound general principles by which they are governed, afford the best guarantee of their solidity; . but their chief recomthendati is, that they enable men of moderate capital to particip in those profits hitherto enjoyed exclusively by the weal lf, therefore, an article of universa mption, (arid in the manufacture of which a large capital quired,) can be proved to yield a great and steady profit, e under the ordinary ma 7 nagement of individual capital, it is asonable toexpect greater advantages from the employment of a - Joint Stock Fund, accom panied by the greater economy which always attends manufac. turing upon an extensive The Brewing of Ale and Porter has hitherto been carried on in Liverpool.hy comparatively small concerns; and the quality of the latter article especially, has rendered it necessary to im port largely from London and Dublin, the freight necessarily operating as - a heavy' pix upon it.

So said Professor Swedour, when he discovered his grand PANACEA for this Complaint, The " Hygean Pills." (then un known to the annals of medical discoveries,) as a specific reme dy to exterminate from the system, that intruder on the plea sures frequently imbibed in moments of inebriation, or thought lessness: never did a discovery excite a greater sensation, it was ',sought after with avidity, and used with undeviating success in the most minute and intricate cases of the delicate complaint, for the cure of which, they have been so long cele brated. The fame of these Pills throughout Germany, caused their speedy introduction into almost every country, and ad dresses were presented to the talented Professor Swedour who filled the chair at Leyden University, congratulatory of the cir cumstance. The certainty with which they were continually administered, can be attested by many - thousands, in fact during the long continental war they were the inseparable companion and safeguard'of the soldier, in all cases where the slightest suspicion of infection was entertained. What Medicine can be more appropriate than that which has given such general satis faction. The tlygean Pills root out every particle of the insid nous poison ' purifying in their progress the whole mass Of fluids, they not only remove the disease, but renovate by their action the different functions q: the body—expelling the grosser hu mours and in a manner So mild and imperceptible as to con vince the most sceptical of their astuioshing and unequalled powers, they neither contain mercury or any other mineral, and may he taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery— they require no restraint of diet, less of time, or hindrance of business. The Hvgean Pills may be depended upon 'is a cer tain cure by persons of either sex, in all stages of a certain dis ease, and that without producing the least inconvenience. At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will be well to have recourse to the Hygean Pills, tor Isben.talten be fore the disease has made its appearance it acts RS a..certain preventive, removing the complaint effectually and secretly. The deplorable state in which many persons have .been a hen Visiting the proprietor from the use of mercury, renders it im peratively necessary to caution the public against that danger• ems mineral when injudiciously administered. • These rills should form a portion of ail Medicine Chests by sea and land, and ought never to be omitted by any person going a long voyage or journey : their properties are stash, that,. neither heat nor cold will injure their quality, or prevent theft due effects on the constitution.

March 30, 1836, PROSPECTUS OF A JOINT STOCK BANKING COMPANY, To BE ENTITLED " THE ISLE OF MAN AND LIVERPOOL JOINT STOCK BANKING COMPANY." Subscribed Capital, iko,ooo.—Paid-up Capital, £59,000. THE numerous failures of Private Bankers in the year 1825 disclosed to the public view the inseettrity of d e p os it s i n Private Banks, an d l a id b are t h e wea a slender thread by which Privat e Banking,:llouses were s sorted. In that year lvd whole famili e s were relined, the nati became alarmed, the panic general, and the people, as it were with one voice, called for a change and for security. The panic was followed by the passing of the Act 7, Geo. 4, c. 46. Prior to that Act the system of Joint Stock Banking Companies was almost entirely un known in England; but no sooner bad the Act passed than Joint Stock Banks arose in the quickest succession, vigorously prospering. and widely spreading their Branches over the whole face of the Country in a manner totally unlooked for by the great. mass of the nation. and even scarcely hoped for by their most eager supporters. paid extraordinary amoun t o f th e Divi dends which h ave b een paid by these Banks, and the astonish ing rise of the Shares in the Market, have fully proved that Joint Stock Banking Companies are based on a solid and stable foundation, and are not to be shaken either by the prejudices of the ignorant, or by the interested opposition of pricaie indivi duals. In no one instance has a Joint Stock Banking Company failed. ,In no one inftauce has its Capital been diminished; On the contrary, all are in the highest state of prosperity; in many the Shares have risen in the Markets to a value much more than double the amount of Paid-iip Capital; in a very great many they have risen to between 25 and 50 per Cent., and in all they are selling at a premium. Since the establishment of Banking Companies in England has iiroved so highly beneficial, not only to the Shareholders themselves, but to Society in general, why should not their fa cilities be extended to the Isle of Man, which labours under still greater disadvantages than those which produced such ruinous results in Englana t This Island has no public funds in which money can be invested for the production of interest; it has no " Bank of England," where money can be lodged without dan ger; and it is totally dependant upon Private Banks in all pecuniary transactions which take place within it. The very extraordinary difficulties under which the monetary system of the Island has been hitherto conducted cannot but have long ago excited the aont ion of the acute and intelligent Merchants a t that Island, a they no doubt are fully aware of the great pecu niary loss wheh nhabitants yearly sustain in the transmis sion of money to eat Britain and Ireland; but the Gentry, Farmers, and Inha nts generally will be shuck with amaze ment when they are old they pay a tax of mere than two months' interest, at the rate of 5 per Cent., in the purchase of every article of English, Scotch, Irish, or Foreign Produce consumed by them. Such, however, is the case; for payments made to the Travellers of British and Foreign Merchants are generally made in Manx Notes, which, not passing current in England or elsewhere, are changed in the Manx Banks for Bills on Lon don at two months, which Bills are in general passed through hands of a Liverpool Bank for presentment, and the Liverpool Banks again charge the holder with Commission, Poitage, &c. The remedy to be adopted is the establishment of a Joint Stock Bank in England and the Isle of Man. In order to render the Bank efficient for the purpose intended, it will be necessary that the Head Office should be established at Liverpool,-(with a Branch Bank in Douglas, and Agents in silt h ether Towns in the Island as occasion may require,) Livertak being the Port by which the communication between EnglamLand the Isle of Man chiefly takes place, and the communication between that Port, Scotland, Ireland, and ,London being immediate and direct. By such a Bank an immense saving would be effected in all pecuniary transactions relating to the Island, the Share holders would reap considerable profit, and the whole corn-. munity of the Island would be greatly benefited. • With the view of establishing such a Bank most minute in quiries have been made, not only as to the Capital which would he- requisite for the establishing and maintaining the Bank, but arso as to the Profits likely to arise, and as to the best mode of forwarding Money'and Bills to the different parts of the British Isles. The result of these inquiries has been most highly satis factory, and leaves riot the least room to doubt that, with a Paid up Capital of £50,000, and a Subscribed Capital of £250,000, the Bank would be-enabled to carry on business with the great est advantage to the Shareholders, and that by means of Agen cies pecuniary business might be transacted bkween the Island and all Parts of the Empire with the greatest facility and small est possible charge. Notwithstanding, however,. that a Sub. scribed and Paid-up Capital of the above amount has been thought fully sufficient, yet, as it is impossible to fix any exact boundary to the business to be transacted by the Bank, it may perhaps be thought prpdent, in order to prevent unlooked-for Calls on the Shareholders, to reserve by the Deed of Settlement a certain number of Shares, to be issued in such manner as the Directors or Shareholders may think advisable. The Joint Stock plan has been engrafted. upon the Banking system of Scotland, and it is to the firmness with which it has been adhered to that that country is indebted, with the aid of exciting moral causes, for the rapid developement of her agri cultural and commercial prosperity. The mo s t gra tif y i ng proof of public opinion in Scotland is indicated by the present value of Bank Stock. The Sraree of the British Linen Company. which originally cost £2(X), now sell at nearly £5OO. The Shares of the Commercial Bank of Scotland, which commenced business in a pre-occupied field, and in the face of embittered opposition, established.between thirty and forty Agencies,. and hear a premium of £7O per Cent., at the same time that Four teen per Cent. has been returned, for the last three years, to the Proprietors. Equally powerful illustrations of the success- Sni - prosecution of the Joint Stock plan are supplied by the Scotch Provisional Banks. I 7 may he sufficient to state, that the Shares of the Aberdeen Joiat Stock Bank, which originally cost £l5O, have risen to nearly Three Thousand Pounds. Those of the Dundee Company are at a Premium of 80 per Cent. • It is therefore proposed, that a Company be formed with the title of "The Isle of Mal and Liverp oo l Joint Stock Banking Company;" that the Head Bank be at Liverpool, with a Mauch or Branches in the Isle of Man. That the Capital of the Company be £250.000, in 5000 Shares of £5O each, and that £lO per Share be paid up, making the Paid-up Capital £50,000. That each person, on being admitted a Shareholder, shall pay a deposit of £1 per Share, to be considered as the first instal _meta of the proposed Paid-up Capital._Tha Shares to.ke tram,-_, ferable. _ _ That the Company be considered as formed when 1000 Shares shall have been subscribed for ; and ?t hen w that of the Shareholders, to be h e ld i n Li verpoo l, b Meetinf.: the General Board of Directors, to consist of such num ber as shall be agreed upon, shall be elected to continue in office one year. That all the concerns of the Company be under the manage ment of the General Board of Directors; but that, subject to its control, the business of the Branch Or Branches of the Isle of Man he managed bY a Board of Local Directors. The Officers and Clerks of the Company to be appointed by the General Board of Directers.' . That the Local Directors of the Branch in the Isle of Man be chosen annually, at a Meeting of the • Shareholders, to sb e held in the Isle of Man. That at the first, and all other Meetings of the Shareholders, each Shareholder may vote for himself, or by another Share holder holding his written proxy. The Votes be regulated thus:-5 Shares, one vote; 20 Shares, two votes; 50 Shares, three votes; and 100 Shares and upwards four votes. That any Shareholder, holding 40 Shares or upwards, he eli gible to be elected a General Director, and of 20 Shares a Local Director. That, so soon as practicable after the appointment of a Gene ral Board of Directors, a Deed of Settlement he prepared, con. taining proper and necessary clauses for the management of the Company, and for the security of the Shareholders. That the names of the Shareholders be not disclosed until a return be filed at the Stamp-office, in the mode required bylaw. That these conditions may be so altered and amended as may be deemed expedient. That no transfer take place until three months after the Shares shall have been appropriated. That only one partner in a firm shall be a Director at the same time; and that any Director, ceasing -to hold the stipu lated number of Shares, or becoming Director or Agent of any other Banking Company, shall be disqualified.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL SIR, —The Albion newspaper has an articl^ in its co lumns to-day on the subject of the City of Dublin Steam Com pany's,Bill now in Parliament. "We are not acquainted with the merits • t question," is the admission of the first part- o f th e ar ti c l e , a .: . this stock of ignorance it goes on to indulge in reflecti. ns ' _ai t the Clyde i Steam Companies perfectly un ca ll e d f or . 1,, , Those Companies form on ly a sma ll pa ,"'l • e opposition to ii f the bill in question, and with re f er e nc e t o ' - ' biOn's remarks on their sensitiveness to oppo s iti o n, we will i• ly say for the City of Glasgow Steam Packet Company (and we believe the opposing Company in the same trade can claim the same-5 right to say) that the Glasgow Companies serve the public as well as the Dublin Company can possibly do, at least the pub lic get their commodities carried as cheap from Liverpool to Glasgow as the Dublin Company carry to Dublin; the latter passage (Dublin and Liverpool) is only half the distance of the Scotch one, and the Glasgow vessels are equal to any steamers afloat. They have neither threatened to invade the Dublin station or thought of competing for carrying the Dublin Mail, as is gratuitously stipNiscil by the Albionj they lend their as sistance, along with zany other Steam Companies,•to oppose what they consider an 'unjust principle, viz., "2ranting special p 1 ivileges and advantages'to particular Steam Gicapanies ; they are not singular in such 'views of the Dublin Company's pro posed Bill, nor are they parties Li the opposition for any parti cular interest or risk to themselves. While they continue to serve the public well, they neither fear want of support front the public, nor their own ability to contend successfully against any ill-natured opposition,—We are, geutlenien, your obedient servants, DAVID M'IVgR and Co. Water-street, April 4, 1836. P.S.—The Dublin Company's Bill is opposed by Steam Com-- panies from the following places :—Cork, Waterford, London derry, Belfast, Drogheda, Newry, Glasgow, Greenock, Dundee, and other . places, indeed wherever there is a steam trade a movement is making against the bill. LSee advertisement respecting a meeting held in London re lattve to the subject.' STEAM NAVIGATION. (From the oi,serz;6r.) The important question of giving the promoters of inter- . course by . water, by the same parliamentary encouragement which is given to its promoters on land, and to which we lately directed public attention, continues to excite considerable in- . terest. In these times, when capital is,. seeking out the mean' of eMployment, and particularly when that employment is coo' fleeted with the great national object of improved and extended intercourse, the preference giveu to the one, and the implied diseouragement of the other, merits the grayest consideration. If this he applicable to English capitalists, it has double force when taken in connexion with the, employment of capital in Ireland. Int ercourse by wa t er, both inland and as a connect" . jag link between the two countries, has manifestly not pro gressed in Ireland, as it has in England and Scotland. Inter course by water is now hot another name for 'steam navigation. When this was first introduced into Ireland, the capitalists in that country who were willing to embark in this hazardous ex - periment were to be found alone = among the 6,4,1,..-AA:uses--, those connected with mercantile 'pursuits. and who, naturally timid and unacquainted with business, would not venture, with out that freedom fr in, personal liabilities which i s now t h e corn .' il monplace ingredien n all rail roa d or o th er j o i nt stoo k esta blishments for impro ed comm u ni ca ti ons . .Th e li m i tat i on of tk l liability . to subscribers beyond their respective investments seems, however, when extended to steam navigation, to have created an unfavourable imp'ession. This is what we cannot understand., capital„invested in steam navigation is actually • more available for creditors than in a railroad or a canal. Be sides, steam navigation never can produce, or even tend to, mono poiy, white a railroad may actually become one. Every announcement of railroad companies contains, as 0 matter of course, the condition, . that their acts of parliament will , provide that "eio person shall he responsible beyond the amount of his respective shares." Common sense suggests the justice, as-well as the policy, of encouraging the investment of capital in steam navigation by a similar parliamentary provi sion. The truth is, that all large investments of capital in those countries demand that they be under the control of parlia mentary regulations on the one hand, and, on the other, that the liberal contributors to these great promoters of the best interests of the country should be protected, whether they pro mote intercourse by land or by water. The opposition to the Steam Navigation Companies, now regulated by parliament , appears to originate in rival companies, just as if railroads would oppose and cripple competition lines. Parliament should not listen to complaints on the one hand or the other, but give alike to all the benefits of protection, coupled with the wholesome . ingredient of restriction and control. Perhaps we should net have deemed it necessary to call such marked attention to this subject at the present moment, were we not aware that a feW gentlemen belonging to Scotland are busily canvassing the English members of parliament to aid them, by their votes, ire refusing to an Irish Steam Company such protection as can alone secure that union and co-operation of the higher ant; middle classes, so essential to the empl..yinent of capital, and the promotion of r4mmercial enterprise in a country so cir cumstanced as Irelan yet is.- 4 NAVIGATION OF THE SHANNON. (Prom the Observer) We stated at.the time of their appointment the nature and, object of the inquiry to be instituted by the Com Missioners et the Shannon Navigation. These' commissioners are COlonel Burgoyne, Messrs. Jonta, Griffiths, S. Cubit t, & it is well-known that the merit of selecting engineers of such acknowledged emi nence is wholly due to the Chancellor of tlie Bxeheciner. Ibe cominiSsionera, have made their first report, which -has been printed, by order of the House of Commons, and we regret that the crowded state of our colums prevents us from giving more than two or three brief extracts from it. The commissioner s ' after setting forth that "it has been proved, by experience, that whenever new means of intercourse have been opened. whether by roads or navigation, an increase of commerce has followed in a proportion far exceeding what could have been anticipate d • from the expence incurred," proceed to say that— " With respect to the question of Harbours, Piers, and landing places, they, the commissioners, are of the opinion, that although it would be necessary and publicly useful to establish such at several important situations, yet as all other places bet those chosen would themselves be equally entitled, and as local and individual enterprise should lead in these matters, it appears desirable to establish?;some just regulations for nrosCcasea , namely, that as soon as any individual landed : proprietor et commercial body, or local subscription, or all together, shall come forward with a fund, caring upon the commissioners try, form a harbour, or erect any pier or landing-place, under the 'Powers of this act, they will deeide on -the measure,. and apper' tion such additioual funds, : by way of grant, or district assess" went, as may seem hest adapted to the case, under certain rules and regulations, which the commissioners could frame for the purpose." " To prove the great importance of one portion of the navi gation, a return is inserted in the Appendix, showing the g reat increase of trade and produce brought from the Shannon, rid Dublin, to Liverpool, during the last three years, being in the half-year ending in the present month, more than twelve times the quantity during" the half-year ending in February 183 3, viz. 3,431 sacks of oatmeal and wtreet-flour in the half-year end; ins February 1833; and 44 , 486 sacks of the same in the h a l' year ending in February 1836. (In 1829 the amount of toil; paid by the Company alluded to below to the Grand Cana l Company for the passage from Dublin to the waters of the Shannon was, for six months, £737; whilst in the six mon!" ending in February last, the tolls amounted to £5.50. 1 1 City of Dublin Steam Navigation Company have several sun" steam-boats which can navigate from Portumna Bridge t° Athlone, (a part of the navigation at present under the e° . f. ** trol of the Grand Canal Company), and included in this "'" vision, but they are not fitted for the navigation of the larg e lakes and broad waters; they have also one steamer in.
