Solicitor—T. G. Margary, Esq. THIS Company is formed for the purpose of effectually 1 working several veins of IRON STONE and seams o 'COAL, itl'the county of Flint. The Iron Stone (of which sere are three veins) is all of very good quality, and one v , which is remarkably rich, is within twenty yards of the rface. The Coal (of which there are five seams) is excel nt for making iron and for household purposes, and the sea ailed the Main Coal is fifteen feet thick, and is within fifty ds of the surface. The iron will rank amongst the best in the - ingdom, and the land sale of coal is considered to be certain, therefore it may be lately assumed that so substantial, profitable, and permanent Investment of Capital is not likely to be found, and may be soon realised. The mineral being near to the surface, good, abundant, and at a short distance and of easy access to the -'best market, warrant the presumption, as deMonstrated in the calculation, that the Shareholders will receive very unusually large dividends on their advances. Should the Company not _proceed, (of which, however, not the least doubt is entertained,) - the deposits will be returned without any deduction. Applications for Prospectuses and Shares to be made (post :paid) to T. G. MARGARY, Esq., Quality-court, Chancery-lane, London. PROSPECTUS OF THE WOODSIDE MARINE VILLA BUILDL: CAPITAL, £lOO,OOO, IN 2,000 SHARES OF, Bankers.—The Manchester and Liverpo( Solicitors.—Mr. James Owen, Manchest and HassaW, Liver o TITS beauty of the country, of whit oodside, near Liver pool, forms part, is well known, a presents a desirable situation for residence, either permanen ly, or during the sum mer months, when the dense population of Liverpool, Man -chester, and various other towns in the county of Lancaster re quire such a change. The projectors of th 4 above measure have turned their atten tion to Woodside, because to that place the conveyance is more rapid than to any other; and as by far the greater part of the Inhabitants of Lancashire are absorped in business which can only be left for a short time, that ciace must surely best recom mend itself for the purposes of recie4tion and health, which, 'combining every other advantage, is the most easy of access. It may be useful to remind the inhabitants of Manchester, and its neighbourhood, that the waterside may be reached in less than two hours, from the time the Railroad Carriages leave that town; that the river Mersey may be crossed by means of Steam Packets every quarter of an hour, so that it will only be a journey of two and a half hours at the utmost from Manches ter to residences intended to be built by this Company. The demand for increased facilities for crossing the river Mersey, is evinced by preparations for the establishment of a new Ferry midway between Woodside and Birkenhead, and for the forma tion of a Railway from Woodside to Chester, the Shares in both of which undertakings are all subscribed for, and the deposit paid up. Upwards of seventy thousand square yards of eligible freehold building, land have been secured, a considerable portion of which possesses the almost exclusive privilege of making bricks, and contains excellent clay for the purpose—thus exhibiting one of the important features in this undertaking; for, independently of the known . profit which may be derived from the clay, the land, if it remains unbuilt upon, must annually increase in value. The promoters of this measure do not seek to raise its value at the expense of other schemes so numerously put forth ; but it is confidently submitted, that a plan, combining the security of real property with provision for the comforts of those who are deeply and anxiously engaged in business, at so small a sacrifice of time, must demand the attention of the capitalist ; and its safety as an investment can only be endangered when the tide of population shall cease to flow, or the energies of Lancashire become paralysed. With these impressions, it is proposed that a Company he formed, with a capital of £lOO,OOO, to he raised by 2,(X)0 shares of £5O each, for the purpose of erecting villas and cottages ornefe, and supplying the present deficiency of convenient sum mer residences for the accommodation of the public. That t deposit of £2 per share be paid on the allotment of the shares; that a meeting of Subscribers -be then called, and Di rectors appointed, by whom the affairs of the Company will be conducted, and the future calls, as required, regulated. No call to exceed £5 per share, and at least two months' notice to be given. SOCIETY. 150 EACH. District Bank. r ; Messrs.

THE Administration of the EAST DIA BANK w ill b e subject to the control and super' tendence of an English Board of Directors, without fette the just independence and efficiency of an Indian Directi . It will rigidly adhere to a liberal system of legitimate ban ing, avoiding, on the one hand, the mercantile adventures and speculative investments of its borrowed capital, which have issued in such calamitous con sequences, and, oil the other, that injudicious caution which cramps the healthful and stimulating employment of capital for the purposes of re-production. It is presumed that if these ob jects be carried out in practice, the EAST IN DIA BANK will not only insure the full confidence of the native population, but become the medium for the distribution of English capital in those innumerable channels which require to be enriched by its invigorating influence. New and strong ties of connexion will be formed between the capitalists and producers in both countries, it being proposed to reserve one fourth of the Shares for the commercial classes of Calcutta; and it is not chimerical to expect that the proposed Banking Association will awaken an intense interests in the improving, and still improve the resources of India. The advantages which the EAST INDIA BANK holds out to those who invest in its stock are,—the unvarying value of sound Indian investments,—the amount of business which a Bank constituted upon the principles above developed can transact in the absence of an effective competition, —and the large profits which Indian banking has habitually yielded even under a defective and an exclusive system of administra-' Lion. It is proposed to open the Bank at Calcutta, (the centre of the financial arrangements of the Indian Government,) when the requisite amount of capital is subscribed. Applications for Shares in the Capital Stock of the Company to be addressed to the Provisional Committee of the East India Bank, No. 10, Liverpool-street, Broad-street-buildings, on or befo►e the 20th instant; to Messrs.

LIVERPOOL HOUSE AND LAND AGENCY OFFICE. r EIHE object proposed in forming this Establishment is JL (that stated in a former Advertisement) to give toe the Letting and Taking. or Selling and Purchasin, Lands, Houses, Warehouses, Offices, Shops, Cell of Business, Lodging, and any other similar desc, ility to Estates, 9‹,Good-wil; ption of Pro. perty. This business has been hitherto so divided or conducted on systems so arranged, as to prevent the uti t . hich would result to the Public from having one Office, trolly situated, kept exclusively for this purpose. The Regist rto be ready of ac cess, clear and intelligible, so arranged that at one glance the necessary information may be obtained, and open to the Public free of expense. The want of a Register established for this purpose has long been felt, as well by the Owners of such Property as by . persons wanting to become Tenants or Purchasers. The time lost, (which, when Property is lying idle, must be matter of serious consideration to the Owners.) and the trouble and annoyance on this head have been so general, that it is hoped the Inhabi tants of Liverpool will not require more to be said to convince them of the usefulness of such an Establishment. REGULATIONS. The Register to be open for inspection to the Public, gratis ; from Ten o'clock n. M. to Five o'clock P.M. For Registering, drawing up Advertisements when required, and supplying Window Bills, the charge to be ss.

TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 17, 1836. The respectable portion of our countrymen are under many obligations to Colonel EVANS, the honourable member for Westminister, for the convenient clearance he has made, before the walls of St. Sebastian, of so many patriots and warriors. The best discipline for such troops is decimation ; and in this instance the Colonel has improved upon the rule, for instead of killing or wounding every tenth hero under his command, he has slaughtered or maimed for life one in •every six. It is also consolatory that the first serious action he has fought has been a disastrous victory, looking very much like a defeat. This will teach the gallant legion more prudence in future, if it do not increase their confidence in their leader. The men of course know that they have hardly a chance of returning to England either dead or alive ; but then the renown of perishing in so glorious a. cause—that is ample compensation Fame, sound the trumpet! " Ensign SNOOKS of the brave sth 8.A.L., fell in the arms of victory (in a ditch) under the ramparts of St. Sebastian, Ist April, 1836." Under ordinary circumstances it is not comfortable.to be shot; but in the cause of the virtuous QUEEN REGENT of Spain and liberty, who would not be starved first, flogged next, and slain afterwards ? Besides, supposing that the object sought to be obtained by British valour were less ennobling and inspiriting than it is, the simple fact that the member for Westminister has been unspar ing in the use of the lash is enough to urge men to desperate deeds. Hunger will make a hare valiant, and the fear of the cat-tails will reduce even a London thief to obedience. Colonel EVANS has tried and proved the maxim. He began by flogging his mercenaries ; he next habituated them to an exceedingly spare diet, he then seasoned them in the snow and rain without the use of blankets, and finally, when theirsinews were wiry, and their bones sharp, lie sent them forth to battle and to glory. Of the six thousand heroes, one thousand were, as FALSTAFF says, " peppered." They took an entrench ment, after several severe repulses, which, when taken, is of no value to them whatever. Had they mutinad and shot each other, the result would not have been more foolish or more pitiful. The only circumstance worth notice in this exploit of Colonel EvANs is the curious fact that he and his legion would have been entirely repulsed, but for the opportune, and, we suspect, the preconcerted co-operation of Lord JOHN HAY, and the naval force under his command. Lord JOHN has, consequently, all the honour, if honour it be, and the gallant Colonel all the loss. But be it recollected that this naval co-operation was by the ships and men in the service of the KING of England. The conduct of Lord JOHN HAY, or that of his instructors, exhibits the power and honour of our nation, under whip misrule, in a very questionable shape. His MAJESTY'S forces are here represented as slaughtering the inhabi tants of Spain without even the formality of a declara tion of war on either side ! This is both humilating and disgraceful. England never was so low in character and independence as a nation, as she is at this moment. The coach is again "upset," as Lord STANLEY said, but whether by "JoHNNY" or his master will probably belexplained in a few days. Two remarkable coinci dences have occurred in one week. Lord MELBOURNE has retired from Downing-street, and DANIEL the im postor has been kicked out of Dublin. The premier is indisposed—the beggar is in trouble—all the thimble riggeks are in dismay ! But we must for the present concern ourselves princi; pally with the Irish master of what we presume we may call the late ministry. In our last we announced that. O'CONNELL had issued his address offering himself as a candidate for the town of Kilkenny, in Ireland, in the room of one SULLIVAN, a creature of the agitator's, who had retired for the purpose. This address was thefore runner of the defeat which awaited O'CONNELL before the Dublin election committee. On Saturday last, after every sort of frivolous objection had been urged, and every questionable vote on the opposite side had been scrutinized, the counsel for DANIEL abandoned their case, and the committee immediately and unanimously decided that Messrs. WEST and HAMILTON were duly returned for the city of Dublin at the last election, in January, 1835. The proceedings in this most nefarious transaction are altogether unprecedented, inasmuch as they show a mass of perjury and corruption, in connexion with one indivi dual, patronised by the minister, and supported in his schemes by the House of Commons, such as, we venture to assert, never disgraced the parliamentary history of England in the worst of times. ft is now clearly proved that O'CONNELL and his colleague (the latter is now in his grave, therefore we shall not even name him) were returned as the members for Dublin by means of perjury and fraud. DANIEL was actually lied into the House of Commons. Wretches were induced to vote for him who had no right whatever to the franchise. Drunken pau pers and houseless mendicants were brought to the poll, and swore themselves into purgatory and the liberator into parliament, well knowing that they were exercising a privilege under false pretences. By means of these flagitious votes O'CONNELL obtained a majority consider ably upwards of a hundred. The flagrant dishonesty of the transaction was too glaring to be concealed, and Messrs. WEST and HAMIL TON were determined to expose it at all hazards, not. withstanding the onerous nature of the undertaking, and; the frightful pecuniary expenditure to which they would necessarily have to subject themselves. They petitioned against the return, and, as a matter of course, it was re. ferred to a select committee of the house. The petition ers were prepared to prove the allegations set forth in their petition before the committee; but here O'Cox- NELL, well knowing the rottenness of his cause, and pre ferring that the public rather than hiMself,should pay the costs of the inquiry, prayed that a commission should is sue to examine witnesses in Dublin. The prayer was granted. Ministers could refuse nothing to a man in whom alone they had a majority, in whom centred their only hopes, and in whose hands was their life or death. At the very outset, therefore, of the investigation, O'CONNELL had every advantage, and he had the power to saddle the people at large with an enormous debt, every penny of which should have come from his own pocket. But the stratagem was not only a convenient one in a pecuniary sense, it was a profitable one to Lord JOHN RUSSELL and his needy friends. Had Messrs. WEST and HAMILTON been returned in the first instance, as they ought to have been, Lord JOHN'S first majority over Sir ROBERT PEEL'S administration would have been reduced from seven to three; and, in such a case as that of Mr. POULETT THOMSON'S factory bill, the other day, the ma jority would have been two against, instead of two in favour of it. In short we consider the whole.proceedings in favour of O'CONNELL to have been nothing else than a FRAUD UPON THE PUBLIC. He has voted•at least five hundred times since the date of his fraudulent return, and yet his poor dupe RAPHAEL had as good a right to vote as • him 'self. The only consolation that remains is morally, a painful one,'namely, that it is by such foul means that Lord Jontsr RUSSELL has contrived for nearly two ses sions to keep the heads of his sinking and worthless ad ministration'above water. What a lesson .to the people of England ! But DANIEL iS to be returned by the "men of Kil- kenny" scot free. •He-is not asked to draw a single bill upon any brewer. The priests guarantee him against any expense. He is not to incur the trouble or the coach hire of travelling from London to.Kilkenny. All the honour of membership and patriotism is to:be conferred upon him in his absence. The priests of Carlow did as much for RAPHAEL ; and they would have done quite as much for any calf or jackass at the bidding of the dicta tor; why, then, should -the father confessors of the mar ble-city-not be equally generous towards the leading ruf fian of their lay champions ? But there is another consideration. Perhaps it would be particularly inconvenient for O'CONNELL to visit Ire land at the present moment and under his peculiar Cir cumstances. There are some members of parliament .who cannot be - suppcsed to be favourable to any interreg num of its privileges. We do not say he is, but O'CoN 'NELL may possibly be in that situation. Money that Comes through the fingers of popish priests seldom passes freely or purely. It may arise from the adhesiveness of natural and undisturbed filth ; but certain it is that a con siderable portion is invariably found to stick. The rent, consequently, may not be so profitable to DANIEL as some people imagine. That the sum said to be collected, and something more, is collected, we believe; aye, and quite enough too, if properly applied, to relieve the thousands of poor creatures who in the ultra-popish dis tricts of Ireland are at this moment perishing for want of food ; but as the priests first finger the cash, we have cogent reasons for believing that the demagogue is not overburthened .with his share of it. It is wise, there fore, not to spend money in travelling to Kilkenny. This, however, opens anew scene. Who is to pay the terrific expenses incurred by-the proceedings in London? Most unquestionably O'CONNELL cannot. All the pro perty he can honestly or otherwise call his own would not meet the second figure of his bill. Who, then, is to pay ?• The secret service money ? No; that would be disfi covered. The ministers by general subscription ? No, Lord LANsnoWNE hates the beggar; Lord HOLLAND is poor; Lord MELBOURNE is unhappily situated; Lord JOHN RUSSELL has a family by his wife's first husband, besides one of-his own to maintain, and he is only a forty shilling freeholder in Westminster; Lord PALMERSTON belongs to the speculative society of the destitute; Lord GLENELG is like the proud laird's daughter in the song— "A pennyless lass wi' a lang pedigree;" and as for the rest, including Lord MuLo RAVE, Sir JOHN CAI, Mr. SPRING RICE, Mr. POULETT THOMSON, Lord Holy - 10c, Lord MINT°, the Secretary for Ireland, and the Lord Chancellor PEPYS—put t hem all together and a Cot tenham cheese, a cask of tallow, and a shop full of fa shionable novels at the chandler's price, would be their representatives in a difficult purchase at 10 per cent. dis count for ready money. Who then is to pay O'CONNELL'S bill ? it is impos sible to say. Had the ministry held together for another twelve months perhaps some means might have been de- vised. In the present case, where the cabinet is evidently in the jaws of death, and the meetings of to-day only confirm the fears of yesterday and darken the hopes of to-morrow, it would be unsafe to calculate upon any other result than the separation of the uncongenial elements of the cabinet, the desertion of O'CONNELL by the Whigs, the dissolution of their unhallowed union, and the utter ruin of the agitator's hopes. He may survive the storm which is about to burst in awful fury against the con spiracy at whose head he stands, and the baneful idolatry of which he is the advocate, and the accursed libertinism in religion which he defends; but if he survive, it will only be like the scathed tree of the forest, a blackened monument of a salutary judgment, too worthless to be rther molested by man, its roots having no vitality, and the storms converting its ashes into manure. From this hour, taking the present pitiable derangements of the cabinet into consideration, we venture to pronounce that DANIEL O'CONNELL has commenced running his race downwards, and a precipitate one it will be. 'We defy all the power and ingenuity of man to save him from the scorn, the hate, the detestation that awaits him. He is no longer member for Dublin—he sits to-night for Kil kenny. He skulks into a mean town, under the cover of a meaner priesthood, as Lord PALMERSTON skulked•into Tiverton and Lord JOHN RUSSELL into Stroud—and there we leave biol. But we cannot, from a sense of justice, or without corn ' miffing an unpardonable . dereliction of duty, hesitate in calling the attention of our readers,and wepoint more par ticularly to the independent, affluent, and, at the same time, spirited merchants of Liverpool, to the wrongs, the losses, the immense sacrifices, endured and incurred without a murmur by Messrs. WEST and HAMILTON. They have set an example to the tories of England which, if we re gard ourselves, must never be forgotten. They have, almost single-handed, entered the arena, not of party, but, as concerns England, of national honour, in defence of British justice. They have gained a signal triumph. They have, in the name of the protestants of the two islands, dragged corruption from its hiding place, ex hibited Irish popery in its true colours, detected lying, nand, and perjury as committed by the leading supporter of his Majesty's ministers—they have, in fine, unmasked the great impostor, the admitted lord of misrule in Ire land, the author of its insubordination, the agent of its debauched priests, the idol of its demoralised peasantry, and in doing this they have had to struggle with minis terial power and treasury money, to an extent which nothing but the justice of their cause could have over come. The private fortunes of these courageous and noble-spirited men have been spent in redeeming their promises in substantiating their claims, and in expelling a pretender from a seat he had, by dint of fraud and per jury, usurped. Messrs. WEST and HAMILTON have suc ceeded ; but dearly, in a pecuniary point of view, have they paid for their success. If we, the protestants of England, allow them to bear the whole brunt of an action fought and gained for our benefit as much as theirs, we shall write " recreant " and " apostate " upon the lettered time-worn flags which cover our fathers' graves. If those whose blood we circulate, whose spirit we inherit, whose sentiments we revere, could but address us now, their ap peal to our sense of duty would wring from us a con fession of apathy, always the attribute of weakness or stolidness, but which we should fling to the winds in the inspiring shouts of so glorious and paternal an appeal. Messrs. WEST and HAMILTON, we understand, have spent a large sum of money, comparatively a handsome for tune, in thus doing " justice to Ireland." They have MAY 17 . 18:36 done more than this. They have vindicated the cause of British justice ; and shall we leave them to sustain the whole loss, without any other compensation than that which arises from the convictioh that they have dond their duty ? We trust not. TO THE EDITOR OF 7'HE LIVERPOOL ST.4NDARD. St lt,—lt is the fashion just now with stone journalists to sweet' at joint st oc k companies —tolie "excessively afraid of bubbles , —" anxious to warn the community against the dire results of overtrading," and of speculation arising from a redundancy of capital." Such a course is, no doubt, rers praiseworthy; but unfortunately the wisdom of these cautions is not so very clear; at all events not so discriminating, as • could be wished; and when we see connected with some of these unfortunate torn= panics, whose existence is said to be so ruinous, the first com mercial names of the cou n t r y ; — w h en we see, too, Ot h e f companies of the seine description having encountered the seine opposition, and whose good effects and profitable operation are acknowledged, we cannot but feel that the alarm of your con ternpories is a little exaggerated, if not altogether groundless. It may be admitt e d th at many schemes which have been laid before the public were wild, some of them almost absurd. But what then? Such schemes have been strangled with their own weight, have blown up, or died a slow death, injuring. none but their stupid projectors or the mere speculator, who, calculating upon the stupidity of the public, has been only labouring in his vocation. Others, however, have passed the ordeal of examine= tion, have received the sanction of the intelligent capitalist, and' are. in full progress towards mature formation. Surely it is a: little unjust that these undertakings should be included in the universal anathema. Our " enlighteners" should, to merit the . title, be , a little less gene ra l i n t h e i r d enunc i at i ons, and, before entering into such an alarming array of figures—Of tens and hundreds of millions' to be raised—should reflect that after all, whatever capital may be wanted by joint stock companies, banks, or railway s , it w ill st ill rema i n part of the circulating medium of .the country, and that their neighbours are not alto , gether such idiots as to barter their hard-won earnings fOr moon beams or even South Sea Stock. I am not going to enter at length into the merits of` the gene ral question, which, however, I could not help glancing at. My object was to point your attention and that Of your readers to . an undertakin g now in progress, which 1 am confident will sup= . ply a long-want e d and valuable. auxiliary• to the 'foreign com merce of the country. 1 allude to the " Liverpool and Manches ter .Foreign Bankiny Company," whose circular is at present being issued privately amongst our leading merchants and 'manufacturers. The object of the proposed " Foiregn Banking Company" is to place itselfas a channel of remittance and exchange between the great producing districts of Lancashire and Yorkshire and the different foreign:markets in which we carry on our immense traffic of export and import;—to become the instrument, by let ters of credit grant e d on sufficient guarantee, andliberal discounts made her e w ith collateral security, of facilitating bona fide operations in the distant markets, to carry on .whieb )the unassisted capital of the private merchant is often unequal. A leading and most important feature.of - the company is its pro fessing—what no other-foreign bankers do profess—to be un connected with any commercial pursuit, and to have no object except the employment of its capital in transitu, and no further interest in any investment -than as security for repayment of capital advanjed to the enterprising trader. rhese are the leading objects of the .Foreign Banking Company ;" and how immense the field'for its usefulness those who consider the extent of our export and import trade can easily estimate. But a still greater good such a company, if properly directed, may have within its power to accomplish. By our present systern—a system which at some past:period may have had scope sufficient, but which the gigantic increase of our commerce has long outgrown—the entire business of exchange with foreign markets is confined to a few large houses,"them selves extensive speculators, and grasping eagerly at -every source of mercantile emolument. On 'such houses--- , as . tmer‘ chants our rivals—we must still in their capacity of bankers negociate our credits; and how natural that we should 'feel a disinclination to avail ourselves of facilities coming from so ob jectionable a quarter! The consequence is the issue in all our foreign markets of an immense amount of private paper, often of very second rate character, which produces a constant varia bleness in the rate of exchange, besides the regular fluctuation by the adaptation of supply to demand. I have in my own ex perience frequently seen the most profitable operation converted into a losing one by a sudden influx of this dangerous, if not fictitious paper into the money market; and it has been a constant source of complaint to the regular trader, that his transactions abroad, however well conducted, were always liable to be divested of their profit by a capricious turn of the exchange. It is well known, indeed, that combinations to effect a rise or fall are as common as the gambling in our Stock Exchange; anddhe fluc tuation so produced, whilst it fills the pockets of the' monied speculator, is a constant source of embarrassment and ruin to the bona fide merchant. The " Foreigh-Banking Company," by the prudent and well-regulated exercise of its powers .through its various agencies inthe principal markets, will be enabled to protect the trading community from such a dangerous position. Affording a ready access for the negociation of remittances for bona fide transactions, it will naturally keep out of the market a great amount of second-rate paper, created only to supply the casual wants of trade, often for the mere purpose of warkingnpon the course of exchange, circulating at a varying premium accord ' ing to the known respectability or otherwise of its drawers and their principals; and whilst effecting this object, and confining within some reasonable limits the fluctuation of the value _of money consequent upon the increased •nd decreased demand, it will enable the merchant to fix an ascertained margin Of,pro fit, beyond which no change in the circulation can affect his speculations. To carry into effect these severitrubjkfltrhe company pro poses to e s t a bli s h agencies in the'cliffsren -extensive. markets, directing its attention in the chief instance to the east, where, more than in any of the nearer markets the circulation is im perfect and liable t o b e tampered with. Its iftknagement inthis country will be confided to a-chairman and boatd-wfAlirectorS; and it proposes to receive within its body the united Interests Of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and the commercial districts of Scotland. I have reason to know that the benefits which iewholds cut-to the trading community have already been embraced by pa - rtierwell able to appreciate the value of the objects for which it' is -esta blished; and, in inviting for it the attentive consideration of the public, can do little further (for it needs little futther) to ensure its success.—l am, sir, with the greatest respect, your obliged servant, A MERCHANT. ropool, 16t11 May, 1836. ,ft (ADVERTISEMENT.
