~.IVlost of these Banks have besides paid large Bonuses to their
oprietary, and all of them have allowed Interest on Deposits.
The remaining. seventeen Joint-stock Banks in Scotland are in
the same flourishing condition, and such, indeed, has been the pro-
gress of the system that of the many private Banks formerly carrying
on business in Edinburgh only one exists at present.
There are wily three Joint Stock Banks in London, with a paid
up capital 1,000,0001., the Shares of all of which are at a high

It is the intention of the Directors to allow interest on deposit

details as to the transaction of business with the Bank, will be
hereafter announced.

1-nrectors to commence business immediately, they have resolved,

In part; the money to be returned without deduction, if the appli.

BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY.—The ex-
traordinary patronage with which this favourite beverage
has been honoured by the Nobility, the Medical Profession, and by
an classes of the community, since its introduction in 1829, affords,
of itself, sufficient evidence of its unequalled merits.
To this triumphant success must be attributed the fact, that each
sueseeding year has witnessed the birth and death of some new
Brandy Ustablishment ; cabledinto life by jealousy of the success of
the Patent Brandy, and doomed to certain failure as a necessary
ionsequenee ; being totally ucable to produce an article capable of
sustaining a competition with it.
The only Establishment of J. Betts and Co. is the Distillery.

GOUT.
AN infallible remedy for this dreadful malady, in a
Syrup, purely Vegetable, has been at length discovered by
Monsieur PHIL. DUBOTS, First Chemist and Apothecary to the
Royal Naval Hospital at Cherbourg, and for which the King of
France has granted him a Patent. :Monsieur Dubots begs to an-
nounce to the English Public in general, that his ANTI-ARTHRI-
TIC SYRUP is to be had„ and Certificates of its efficacy seen, at
his sole Agents for England, Messrs- Dulau and Co., 37, Soho-
square, London.
The Reputation of M. Dubots and his Agents is a guarantee that
this is no quack medicine; they considet , therefore, that the usual
puffs are worse than useless--at all ev %In; they cannot have recourse
to them.
