Piid-up Capital .£4,60 .000
Most of these Banks have besides paid large Bonuses to their
144?prieta.ry, and all of them have allowed Interest n Deposits.
The remaining seventeen Joint-stock Banks in Scotland are in
the same flourishing condition, and such, indeed, has been the pro-
tress of the system that of the many private Banks formerly carrying
an business in Edinburgh only one exists at prent.
There are only three Joint Stock Banks in London, with a paid
trp capital of 1,000,0001., the Shares of all of which are at a high
Premium.
' It is the intention of the Directors to allow interest on deposit
aecounts, under proper rniewind regulations, which, with other
details as to the transaction—of business with the Bank, will be
hereafter announced.
As a sufficient capital has already been subscribed to enable the
Directors to commence business immediately, they have resolved,
in order to avoid the inconvenience which has been found to arise
in other undertakings from au unrestricted application for shares,
and to induce only those to apply who wish to become berm.
. fel iproprieters, will not entertain 'any application unless made
in the printed forms provided by them for that purpose, and accom-
panied by a payment of 2/. upon each share applied for, the Di-
rectors reserving to themselves at the time of appropriation the
right to reject or comply with such application either in whole or
in Part; the money to be returned without deduction, if the appii.
cation be rejected, and if accepted to be placed to the credit of the
Party in respect to the shares allotted to him.
It is not in contemplation to call up more than 101. per share for
the next two years.
Deposits, in accordance with the printed forms, may be paid,
and prospectuses obtained, as under :
London—Messrs. B. and M. Boyd, 4, New Bank-buildings.
Liverpool—Liverpool Commercial Bank.
Birmingham—Birmingham and Midland Bank.
Edinburgh—National Bank of Scotland.

BASTENNE BITUMEN COMPANY.
This Company is prepared to undertake every description
of WORK to which Bitumen is adapted, or to SELL the manu-
factured Mastic ready for use, with the necessary instructions for
its application.
Bitumen has been known and applied as a Cement for many cen-
turies, but recent discoveries, and the experience of new combina-
tions with the mineral tar, have incalculably enhanced its value for
a great variety of purposes.
, This Company have an exclusive right to the best and most pro-
ductive known mines of this valuable material—a value, the supe-
riority of which is tacitly admitted by the other Asphalte Com-
r'anies, Claridge's, the Liverpool Seyssel, and the Val de Travers,
a°,41,2' purchased supplies from the Bastenne Company is England,
and the sales of the material on the Continent are to a large and
raPidly increasing extent.
The Bitumen compound being impervious to humidity, its con-
tinuity and elasticity leaves no joints or openings through which
the water can :penetrate, and gives it a superiority for pavement
over every description of stone. It has stood the test of several
winters (the last a very severe one), in many places in France and
Belgium, which leave not the slightest doubt of its durability, and
Power to resist the extremes of atmospheric temperature. Speci-
mens of foot-pavement laid down by the Bastenne Company, may
he seen opposite Northumberland House, Blackfriars-bridge, the
Government Works at Woolwich, and the Rotunda of the Bank of
England, where, contrasted with the best Yorkshire stone, the
advantages will be found manifest.
The great desideratum in street-paving is a waterproof surface,
with the mass so solid and compact as prevent friction at the bot-
tom, where experience has proved that the wear and tear is much
greatest when the squares or blocks are loosened. The Company
feel assured they have accomplished this object in their experiment
on the carriage-way in Oxford-street ; and they are also satisfied
that it would prove the practicability of, in a great measure, reliev-
ing the public from the annoyance of mud in winter, and dust in
summer were the loose materials not transferred from the stone-
paving and Macadamized roads in the vicinity.
A Scale of Prices, together with all necessary information rela-
tive to the application of the material to all the various purposes,
may be obtained at the Office of the Company.

H E BASTENNE BITUMEN COM-
PANY request the attention of all persons interested in the
09struction of Railways, Bridges, and Docks, to the advantages
itwhich the will derive from the use of their BITUMEN. As a Ce-
uirot in binding arches it is incontestibly superior to any known
an ce , and, being impervious to damp, it is of equal utility for
avings, Stations, Waiting Places, and where dryness and an unin-
errupted equality of surface is so desirable. The original cost of
Znstruction may be in a small degree enhanced by the substitution
the Bitumen : but, from its ascertained resistance to all changes
of weather, the Company feel the most perfect confidence that the
additional outlay in the first instance will in the end be compensated
fourfold by its durability.
e. All necessary information may be obtained at the Office, with a
kbea:e of Prices, which is graduated according to the quantity of
work. R. FOULERTON, Secretary.

111' ETT'S PATENT BRANDY.—To guard the
Public against being misled by the numerous imitators of
the Paterd £-andy, and to assure them of the utter futility of all
atter,- t s
p to rival that celebrated article, the Patentees need only
slate that the peculiarly wholesome properties of their Brandy—
attested by many eminent Chemists, and frequently published since
its introduction in 1829—are secured by Patent Right, which, in
'" If, forms a sufficient guarantee, if purchasers be careful to esta-
blish the identity of the article.
The only Establishment of J. T. Betts and Co. is the Distillery,
No. 7, Smithfield-bars, leading to St. John-street, where the Pa-
tent Brandy may be had, either pale or coloured, in quantities not
less than two Gallons, at Eighteen Shillings per Imperial Gallon,
fog Cash on delivery.

EYESIGHT and DEFECTIVE HEARING.
The success of Mr. ELIA SOLOMONS' PATENT
SPECTACLES, and a similarity of names favouring the decep-
tion, has induced parties to offer publicly as a new invention, profess-
!'" to relieve simultancous!v vision and deafness, common glasses
. many year' standin, grolina on the principle of the periscopic
ns (the mensiscus em lgo ed for Specteles 40 years ago), and which
although •
nable at most respet.table opticians, are set aside by
;hemattainable as decidedly objectionable. These quack and absurd misre-
'presentations, unsupported by weight or authority, might have
beeneern safely allowed pass unnoticed before the eyes of a discern-
public ; but as the names of some medical gentlemen are used,
nt behoves one to inqure by what means, or on what grounds, their
TXtiatures have been obtained (if obtained at all) as sanctioning a
ttrect untruth by proclaiming such as " Newly-invented Spectacle
tenses," which are unanswerably nothing more than common
f,ses, of a pink or purple tint, to be purchased at the above esta-
blishment, at Is. per pair.
E's. VOICE CONDUCTORS for DEAFNESS, which
are worn unperceived, without requiring to be held, enable the
individual using them to participate in all the various enjoyments to
which the sense of hearing is subservient.
TESTIMONIALS on the PATENT SPECTALES of Mr.
ELIA SOLOMONS, 36, Old Bond-street, nearly opposite
the Western Exchange.
from Sir Anthony Carlisle, F.R. S., President of the Royal Col-
lege of Surgeons, and Senior Surgeon to the Westminster
Hospital, &c.
Solomons' Spectacle Lenses seem to me likely to afford
04:tit:mai aids to imperfect vision, and because of their superior
l'efrak'ting powers to glass or other dense materials, they promise to
afford new resources for the construction of Spectacles.anghma-plaee.

King, &c.
I have been using and am still using Mr. Elia Solomons' Amber
Spectacles,., and find them more pleasant to the Eye than any other
glasses which I have tried.

Prom BraLlsby Cooper, Esq., F.R. S., Surgeon to Guy's Hos-
pital, &c.
From the Ilse I have made of an Amber Lens, and comparing
it
to with those ordinary glasses, I have no hesitation in saying
that,
my sight, the former is infinitely preferable, in being less
trying to the Eye.,
