It is iinnecess•ary to advance arguments as to the expediency
of establishing tt 'is great National Bank. Existing circum-
stances will suggest the strongest. The object is to unite all
that is sound in tins system of Joint-stock Banking, with all
that is respectable in Iltie system of private Banking, and at
the same time to avoid the errors and evils of both.
Shares of One Thousand pounds each, with soul. to be paid
up, will prevent an admixture ,if speculative adventures with
opulent capitalists. The Joint-st,ick system of Banking to be
sound as a whole should be sound in each of its parts.
The Royal Bank of Liverpool hasbe en formed upon the same
principle—in the brief period of three ycars its shares have art i-
ved at a premium of about 50percent. L, sndon must be a better
field for such a system than Liverpool. riThe Commercial Bank
of London is capable of being the great loons of the Joint-stock
Banks of the whole kingdom.
The Commercial Bank of London combives these important
advantages—viz., a large capital, permanent responsibility, and
uniformity in the system of management ; th us securing that
acknowledged desideratum, a guarantee that the capital of the
Bank shall not be withdrawn, nor its efficient Action impaired
by the death or retirement of co-partners.
The Commercial Bank of London has been founded as a
Bank of Deposit for making advances by loan or otherwise, and
more especially as a point of concentration for such Frovincial
Joint-stock and other country Banks as conduct their ,business
on sound banking principles.
Three Managers will be appointed. The qualification of each
' to be a long previous experience in the banking or discounting
of London, by which the knowledge, decision, and secrecy of a
private bank will be added to the superior solidity of a sound
joint-stock system.
Interest on deposits will he allowed on special agreem,snt
only, no Bank not having the advantage of issuing its own
paper can with safety grant interest on floating deposits or oil
current accounts; but while recognising security as the legiti-
mate basis of every banking transaction, the Directors will be
desirous at all times, but especially in periods of financial pres-
sure, to meet the just demands of every class of society, com-
mercial, manufacturing, and agricultural.
Ten per cent. will be required to be paid on the allotment of
the Shares, and such further calls made as may be necessary,
by instalments no 4 exceeding 10 per cent., of which three
months' notice will be given by public advertisement, but not
more than 50 per cent. of the subscribed capital will be called
for without the concurrence of three-fourths in value of the
Proprietors at a General Meeting to be held for that purpose.
In order to limit the responsibility of the Subscribers,
intended to provide by the deed of settlement, that in the event
of one-third of the paid up capital being lost, it shall be com-
pulsory on the Board of Directors to convene a meeting of the
Proprietors, and with the concurrence of a majority in value,
o dissolve the Company.
It is intended to establish a Branch at the W est-end of the
Metropolis, but at no other place.
A General Meeting of the Proprietors will be bald annually,
when a statement of the affairs of the Bank will be laid before
them.

SOCIETY, 71, LEADENH ALL-STREET, enrolled agree.
ably to Act of Parliament ; being the Manufacturers in all its
branches.
The system upon which this is conducted precludes the pos-
sibility of competition for cheapness, quality, and durability, as
no house in London can manufacture at their prices. The
Society wishes it to be thoroughly understood that they do not
receive hawked goods for sale, like the baracers and haber-
dashers, but they make every article themselves, which enables
them confidently to warrant their goods of the best materials,
i and f. any fault appears within twelve months, it will be made
good tree of charge. A trial is earnestly solicited of those about
to furnish, as the only criterion by which the merits and de-
cided advantage of purchasing at this establishmen tcan be fairly
' estimated.
The funds of this Society provide for the members in sick-
nets, old age, and burial ; they therefore sincerely hope that
their humble endeavours will meet with public patronage.
Estimates given, and orders punctually executed ; and lists

NIVERSITY COLLEGE HOSPITAL.
The COMMITTEE very gratefully acknowledge the
receipt of an Anonymous DONATION of FIFTY POUNDS:
designated as
" A Widow's humble tribute of gratitude for great mercies
received from Almighty God some time since near this spot,
being a little help towards completing the Building of this ex-
cellent Institution."
The Hospital contains 130 beds, almost always occupied ;
and annually affords relief to about 18,000 in and out patients,
at an expenditure of little less than 5,000/. per annum.
Cases of accident or emergency are received at all hours of
the day and night, without letters of recommendation.
Being the only General Hospital in the populous districts of
Bloomsbury and Pancras, including Camden and Somers
Towns, its claims to support will be obvious to every liberal
mind ; and the Committee, not less confident on the beneficent
,operation of the Institution than in a correspondinr, disposition
lir its favour on behalf of the Public, make this their renewed
appeal for Continued Contributions, to meet the quick succes-
siorr of disease and casualty supplied by the dense and distressed
population of an extensive vicinage.
