It having been resolved, with reference to the Prospectus of this
Company, already before the public, to limit the home of Shares to
2,500, until such time as the Charter of Incorporation, now under
consideration of his Majtsty's Most Honourable Privy Council,
shall be finally settled; and the measures in contemphition shall
have received the Hord Sanction ; and it having also been deter.
I mined that the holders of scrip receipts or certificates of the de-
posits being paid os any of the said 2,500 shares, shall, on the
completion of the Charter, be entitled (at their option) to a prefer-
ence of the remaining shares, in the proportion of three additional
shares, for every one on which such deposit has so been paid,'
such persons as are desirous of becoming subscribers are hereby
informed, that they may still be accommodated with shares to a
limited extent, consistently with the above restriction in the issue
thereof on early application being made to Messrs. Blunt, Roy,
andßlunt, or to the Secretary, at the entice of the Company,
Lyceum, facing Waterloo-bridge, Strand, who, on the deposit of
3L per abate being paid nr remitted, will deliver or forward cer-
tificates of the imolai thereby acquired in the Capital of the
Company.
As it ts the wish of the Directors to place the shares in tht hands
of such only as intend to become permanent bona fide holders, in no
instance will more than 5 :hares (with the above privilege) be
granted to any one individual, unless already eneaged, or except in
men where more are requited to complete the qualification of the
party as an officer of the Company.
It is requested that the Proprietors of Mineral Districts, who
already have made, or who hereafter may give in proposals for the
sale or hire of Mines or Quarries in Scotland, will accompany their
proposals with a fair specimen of the productions to which they
may claim the attention of the Cbmpsny (especially lead, copper,
Iron, and marble), together with any other information, in point of
local situation or mineral characteristics, which they may deem
nodal in guiding the Directors in ordering the surveys required to
be node, previous to the selection of such places minty finally be
fixed upon for the primitive operations of the Company, which are
expected to comments early in the ensuing Spring. Such proposals
and specimens to be forwarded, without delay, (postage-tind me-
riage paid) to 311thael Linning, Esq. W. 8. 11W-street, Edin-
