This Company is formed for the purpose of facilitating
commercial intercourse between the metropolis and the
important towns of the Midland Counties. The Company's
Operations will embrace the whole of the midland district,
thioughout a great portion of which it is well known that
the present banking accommodation is insufficient for the
requirements of its increasing population and trade.
In Birminghamalone only one new bank has been formed
for the last 20 years ; while the 13, pulation has, in the same
space of time, been nearly doubled. It must also be borne
in mind, that Birmingham is but the centre of a densely
populated mining and manufacturing district, now perhaps
the wealthiest and most thriving in the whole kingdom.
Throughout the entire area of this important locality the
want of adequate banking accommodation is increasingly
felt, and the Directors of this Company aro maturing ar-
rangements for dealing comprehensively with this pressing
Want.

The directors call attention to the admitted fact that the
banking business of the country is being rapidly absorbed
by joint-stock banks, while the private banks are gradually
disappearing. One of the main objects of this Company
will be to establish branches throughout the district, in
which it is proposed to carry on business, by purchasing
the interests of existing private banks. In pursuance of this
object the Directors have already secured, on most advan-
tageous teams, the old and valuable banking connexion and
premises of Sir Francis L. Holyoake Goodricke, Bart., at
Wolverhampton, where they will immediately commence
business, and Mr. R. Bigge, Esq., has consented to continue
fr a time to superintend the affairs of the Bank. The Di-
rectors are thus able to offer to their shareholders the pro-
spect of an immediate dividend. They are also negotiating
the purchase of other banks in the Midland Counties.
The management of the Bank will be conducted by the
Board of Directors in London, who will have the assistance
and counsel of Local Boards of supervision, to be formed in
the principal towns in the country w here branches are to be
established—the Country Directors being also members of
the London Board, and having the conduct of the local busi-
ness. It is not intended to carry on any banking business
in the metropolis other than that arising from the agency
of the country branches; but the establishment of the chief
office in London will remove many of those causes of local
jealousy and private interest which have, in so many &-
stances, militated against the success of country banks. It
will also afford greater facilities for the judicious invest-
ment of capital, as well as allow of a more independent con-
trol of the business of the Bank. It may be well to remark
that the proposed system is identical with that so success-
fully carried out by the National and Provincial Bank of
England, and by the Provincial Bank of Ireland.
It is not proposed to call up more than £25 per share, the
reserve of £75 affording ample security to the customers of
the Bank; power will, however, be taken in the Articles of
Association to increase the ca_pital by further issue of shares,
when the operations of the Bank have been so extended as
to render it necessary.
Copies of the Memorandum and Articles of Association
may be seen at the offices of the solicitors to the Company.
Forms of application for shares may be obtained from the
Company's brokers and solicitors, or of the secretary, at the
Company's offices, No. 9, Cornhill, London. Should no
allotment be made, the deposit will be returned in full.

As to the armament of this place of strength, it is, just
now, in the undecided state of the competition between
Whitworth's and Armstrong's, impossible to say whose
guns are eventually to defend it. All that the engineers
know is, that the Citadel itself, without any of its outworks
or East Weir batteries, will mount at least 200 guns and
mortars, at least half of which number, according to pre-
sent estimates, will be 150-pounders. The whole place is
to bristle with cannon, the longest and largest which science
can suggest, when it is fully armed. In fact, like Malta, it
errs on the side of being rather over than under gunned—
with this difference, that whereas the wide defences of
Malta would require at least 25,000 men to hold them all,
so compact is the Verne that its defence might be intrusted
safely to the peace garris,n against almost any force. To
illustrate the almost excessive precautions taken we may
mention that the south-east face of the work looks down a
steep narrow valley like a funnel, leading to the little vil-
lage of Fortune's 'Well. It was thought possible that a mor-
tar vessel might run into the narrow inlet on which this
valley ends, and throw a shell or two into the Citadel.
The efforts, therefore, made to guard against this remote
eventuality are in much the same scale as the ditch, the
tanks, barracks, magazines, and, indeed, all connected with
the tremendous strength of the defences. Overlooking the
valley, the works have, at this point, a double flank,—that
is, there aro two tiers of stone batteries and three tiers of
guns of the heaviest kind. The lowest tier is a casemate
battery built a la Haxo, which means with earth mounds
between the stone portholes, through which 12 guns
will
peep. Above these is another tier of 12 guns in earth orem-
brasures lined with stone, and above these again .12 :row

It was Er erne,
just within the limits of possibility that an
enemy ,fight get some cover here, so the whole crest of
the bin is to be shaved off 40 feet, so as to leave the raw,
solid rock to be swept clear by the guns of the Cita-
del. In addition to all this there are to be erected here-
after beyond the ditch, and distant about three-quarters
of a mile from the Verne, two powerful outworks at Easton
and Weston. These aro to be regular little fortresses,
mounting 30 or more guns each, and the positions chosen
for their site are so commanding to everything but the
Verne, which looks down into each of them, that both
would have to be reduced by a regular siege before anything
could be attempted against the Verne itself, supposing that
an engineer was sanguine enough to hope to do anything
but starve it out. In short, the 'Verne is made, or will be
made, to dominate everything in range of cannon, to cover
the harbour inside and outside the Breakwater, to com-
mand all parts of the island of Portland, to sweep Chesil-
bank, to cross fire with the great North Fort at the head
of the Breakwater, and with the still more powerful fort
which is being erected on the little headland calleatiLful

teriea it protects of 1301 t. In i'act, the little mountain
which forms the Verne has been rent away and isolated
from its fellow headlands by this stupendous chasm. No
perfect idea can be got of it till the visitor descends to the
floor of the great excavation and traverses its whole length,
which is nearly a mile. The sections of the wonderful
geological strata which form the island of Portland are seen
for the first time in the straight rocky wall of the ditch in
all their curious variety. What is
meat singular
is, that
at regular intervals of 25 or 30 yards, and commencing
about 20 feet below the surface of the ground, are a series
of vertical faults or gaps, about 2 feet wide, which, as far
as can be judged, penetrate to the lowest substrata of the I
is:and and traverse it completely from north to south, In
these extraordinary clefts human bones have been found
with those of wild boars and the bones and horns of rein-
deer—not fossilised, but with all their osseous structure as
pet feet as if they were not 50 years old. Lower still in
the oolite the hones of saurians have been brought to light
with sharks' teeth, shells now only found in the lied
Sea, huge ammonites of stone and copper, fossil trees, and,
near the surface, Phoenician gold coins, ancient British
weapons, Roman pottery, and the mysterious flints in the
drift. All these " faults" in the strata have been carefully
filled from base to summit with solid masonry, so that the
sides of the ditch, both scarp and counter-scarp, are almost
as smooth as a wall from end to end. It is, perhaps, need-
less to say that such a gigantic foss as this is unnecessary,
and would never have been attempted but that stone exca-
vated in its formation was wanted for the Breakwater. A
dry ditch of 40 feet deep by 50 feet wide would have been
of almost unusual proportions, and more than sidgeie* 4,0„

, the Government
wanted cheap stone to make tho Breakwater, and, as that
from the ditch rouad the Verne was already paid for, they
naturally took as much as they could get, and in so doing
made the foss of the enormous dimensions we have given.
Jutting out from the main body of the fortress into the
ditch aro to be two bastionettes. One of these is to have
eight faces mounting guns on each, so as to sweep with a
murderous fire two-thirds of the whole length of the exca-
vation. The second bastionette is to have three faces, and
placed in such a manner as while two of its guns cross fire
in the ditch, the remainder of its armament commands
every spot in the rest of the foss, where its curve keeps it
out of reach of the more important work of the same kind,
Both these bastionettes are also" pierced with loopholes in
all directions for the fire of riflemen.

none are to be placed in casemates, all the storehonsol,
hospitals, and buildings for the garrison are to be bonib-

proof, as at the Verne.
We have spoken of the East Weir, the steep slope which.
leads from the scarped cliffs of the Verne on the harbour_
side down to the water. These slopes have been ciltawaY
so as to form five powerful and well-constructed earth-
works, which, on a larger scale, very much resemble some''
of the more important links in the similar chain of deftnee'
thrown up by the Allies round Balaklava. There are ti be,
five of these batteries, the three smalleSt mounting from 'to: 7 -
to 12 heavy guns each, and two large ones mounting 22
guns each—about 80 guns in all. Each of these batteries,
besides being of the most solid description, is lined inside
with stone, large and carefully protected magazines, and
bomb-proof places to shelter the defenders from the effects
of a vertical fire. From the position and different elevations,
varying from 80 to 110 feet above the level of the sea, there
is no part of the harbour or approach to it, whether roiled
tho head of the breitkwater or through the south opening,
near the small fort, which is not covered by their fire; anti
quiet and inoffensive as these neat green lines of arapct
and glacis appear from the sea, looking at first as if it were -
intended to lay out the slopes in terrace gardens, th,pse ' ,
massive batteries of the East Weir would be quite as for-
midable to ships attempting to enter the bay as the great
works of the Verne itself. The roar of each of the work:.;

it was at one time suggested to form, after the manner of t
breakwater, a smart wand in the sea,•about a mile from the
fort now building in the extremity of the present brcatt-
water, and in this ist.e.d to erect another circular
granite fort of three tiers of _
8, similar to that to be built
at Spithead, This idea, however, has for the present been
very wisely abandoned, and we hope will never he revived. •
Apart from its stupenduous cost (and it alemild be nothing
short of a million), it would, as a permanent defensive work,
be utterly superfluous and unnecessary. When Iho urc,„
sent and intended works are a1t,0.48401LX-ettlarrtt'lmalliao:"
,Ahttatrangest fortified harbour in the world, and additi nal
towers would be as entirely works of supererogation as if it
were proposed to cover Gibraltar itself with 4-inch plates
of iron. If anything were ever needed here it would be in
the shoal waters, so as to drive an enemy's vessels as close
over to the guns of the Weir, Verne, North Fort, and
Nothe as possible, and a floating iron battery would amply
answer this purpose. But even this latter simple defence
seems superfluous when we come to remember that on any
hostile fleet bold enough to enter the harbour the works we
have mentioned could concentrate a fire of more than 300 of
the very heaviest guns, all so elevated as to be practically
out of reach of to of a fleet to reply to them, In
fact, of the 300 guns more t....an one-third would be firing
almost point-b:ank down upon an enetay's decks. What
has and will be done is not only enough to render Portland
harbour secure, but, as far as human skill and caution can
foresee, absolutely invulnerable from sea or land. For an.
enemy to approach it with evil intentions would be, not
figuratively but literally, to venture into the cannon's
month,

Within the great enclosure of the Verne, and snugly en-
sconced under the green parapets of the batteries, barrack
accommodation bas been built for a minimum garrison of
3,500 men ; the size and height of these casemated barracks
being calculated on such a liberal scale as to give in the
rooms no less than 750 cubic feet of air per inmate. The
usual scale on which common barracks are built being at
the rate of 350 feet per man, it follows that the peace gar.
rison at the Verne can in times of danger be increased with-
out the slightest inconvenience from 3,500 to 10,000 men,
which is really the number the place can accommodate, and
which it might perhaps require to fully man all its works,
though it is so strong by nature that its peace garrison
could stand a siege with safety. All these barracks are
bomb-proof. Their roofs are made of solid brick arches
nearly 4ft. thick, over which again is a layer of concrete
2ft. thick, and coated with asphalts to keep it water-tight,
then one foot of shingles to arrest the drainage, and ()Ter
all Bfc. thick of solid made earth. There is nothing more
difficult in casemated barracks than to keep them free from
damp, and give a proper allowance of light and air without
interfering with the security of the inmates. These almost
irreconcilable conditions have been admirably fulfilled at
the Verne. The wide skylights over the parade face of the
doors give almost too much light; the floors raised 4ft.
from the ground secure the soldier from damp, and give
immense cellarage for provisions; while a fine corridor
running the whole length of the back of the casemates, and
communicating by pipes like windsails with the foss out-
side, gives not only ventilation but a very considerable
draught when the wind blows—and it always is blowing
over the heights of the Verne. The two ranges of these
barracks are almost quite complete. They could all bo
occupied within a month, and some in fact are occupied
by small detachments. Near the barracks is already
built a small bomb-proof hospital, with surgeons' quarters
and stores, similarly protected; and nearer these a larger
hospital, or rather a series of casemates like the barracks, is
also to be erected, capable of accommodating, if need be,
500 patients. The Verne has no water supply of its own
within the great ditch of the fortress. Every attempt to
procure a supply by boring through the solid rock has proved
fruitless. A number of tanks, each capable of holding
60,000 gallons, have therefore been formed beneath the
casemates for the collection of rain-water, and, as rain is
as plentiful as wind at the Verne, these are always full and
always flowing away. In such an all-important matter,
however, the garrison, has not, of course, been left to de-
pend on the eccentricities of the weather. These great re-
serve water •tanks have therefore been excavated in the
solid rock beneath the parade ground. Each of these tanks
is 80ft. long by 56ft. wide and SOft. deep, and,being covered
in with the usual shot-proof roofs and the water kept from
the light and air, it will remain sweet for centuries. These
tanks each hold a three-months' supply for a garrison of
8,000 men at the rate of two gallons per man a day. As a
matter of course these important reserve tanks are always
kept full to the top, but never to be used till the emergency
of a state of siege arises. The ordinary daily supply is
drawn from Chine, a little village about three miles from
the Verne, where there is ample water, which is pumped by
a 30-horse power engine through underground pipes into
the fort. By this engine, in case of a siege being imminent
not only the reserve tanks of the Verne could be filled to
their utmost capacity, but the rain water tanks as well,
which would at the daily rate of consumption we have men-
tioned give more than a year's supply to the garrison, ex •
elusive of the rain water which would fall during that time,
and which, over a surface of sixty acres, where every
precaution is adopted to catch and retain it,
would probably be as much more. The expense and re-
serve magazines are on the same scale. There are five
expense magazines, built each to hold 100 bar-
rels of powder, with a proportionate allowance of live shell,
with one great reserve magazine cut in the rock, like the
tanks, capable of containing 3,000 barrels of powder. The
expense magazines are protected, in addition to walls of
solid masonry 14ft. thick, with an outer covering of solid
earth 18ft. thick.
