of modern chemistry has conferred upon mankind; for during
the first twenty years of the present century to speak of a cure
for the Gout was considered a romance; but now the efficacy
and safety of this medicine is so fully demonstrated, by unso-
licited testimo:.ials from persons in every rank of life, that pub-
lic opinion proclaims this as one of the most important die.
coveries of the present age. These Pills require neither atten-
tion nor confinement, and are certain to prevent the disease
attacking any vital part. Sold by Prout and Hansa, 1128,

The sound principles upon which the system of joint-stock
banking is based, and the benefits which its practical application
have conferred upon the public, are now universally admitted.
Banking companies, with large subscribed a_id paid-up capitals,
and protected by the responsibility of nimerous partners, have
been long in profitable operation in every part of the kingdom.
In the city of London there are six Joint-stock Banks; and so
great is the confidence of the public in the soundness of these
establishments, that their deposits amount to more than
£30,000,000 sterling. The market value of their shares ranges
from b 5 to upwards of 200 per cent, premium upon the amount
paid, and is founded upon the large dividends they have declared.
which at present (in addition to very ample reserve funds),
average upwards of 13 per cent. per annum, inclusive of bonuses.
It is a remarkable fact, that with the experience of the solidity
and usefulness of these institutions, no independent joint.-stock
bank exists in the western part of the metropolis, notwithstand-
ing the increased demand for banking accommodation and the
rapid growth of the population. The branches of the City banks
are, no doubt, important auxiliaries, but being controlled I), in-
structions from the parent office, their managers necessarily
exercise a limited discretion.
The Western Bank of London will afford to the west of the
metropolis all the benefits which are derived from parties who
transact their banking business directly with an independent
institution. It will have at the West-end its Board of Directors,
its Discount and other Committees, who will adapt their system
of management to the wants of the various classes of its cus-
tomers. It will open current accounts, receive deposits at
agreed-upon rates of interest, discount bills, make advances
upon approved securities, undertake at moderate charges the
agency of persons resident abroad, receive dividends upon
stocks, public or private ; collect and transmit pays, pensions,
and annuities; rind generally carry on all the legitimate opera-
tions of banking.

The financial position of joint-stock banks (unlike that of
private partnerships) is published at the yearly and half-yearly
meetings of their proprietors, when a balance-sheet, verified by
two auditors appointed by that body, is submitted to the scrutiny
not only of the proprietors but of the public.
The shares in the London joint-stoek banks (including those
reoently incorporated) are almost the only description of secu-
rity which has undergone no depreciation during the war; they
have, on the contrary, steadily advanced in value.
The subjoined table, extracted from public documents.
furnishes unequivecal evidence of the advantages which original
proprietors may secure by the investment of capital in joint-
stock banks:—
