GENERAL MANAGER.
Mr. William Hope, V.C.

This Company has been formed by the amalgamation of
the following London Firms, for the purpose of carrying
on and extending their business as Merchants under the
Joint-Stock Companies Act, with limited liability.
Messrs. Robinson and Fleming.
Messrs. Redfern, Alexander, and Coo
Messrs. Lane, Hankey, and Co.
Experience has shown that undertakings established
upon the principle of limited liability can successfully
carry out the most confidential operations of banking and
finance, and the Directors feel assured that mercantile
transactions will now be even more freely entrusted to a
Company so formed than to private firms. It is believed
that the periodical publication of a balance-sheet, with the
security afforded by a large uncalled capital, will, when
combined with the personal management of a board of ex-
perienced merchants, attract business of the best class,
under permanently favourable conditions.
The basis of the arrangement with the amalgamated
firms is as follows :-
1. All the liabilities and obligations of each house are
to be liquidated altogether independently of the Company,
except where any such may hereafter be agreed to be taken
over by the Board as new and desirable business.
2. The partners of each house bind themselves not to
enter into any fresh mercantile operations in England of a
similar character during ten years ; and the completeness
of the transfer, with the efficient management of each par-
ticular class of business, is insured by the leading mem-
bers of the three firms joining the Board and remaining as
Directors. The qualification of each Director is fixed by
the Articles of Association at £lO,OOO, to be held in the
Stock of the Company.
8. The total goodwill of the amalgamated firms will be
taken, one-third in Shares with £5O paid, and two-thirds
in Debentures, payable with 5 per cent. interest, in equal
annual instalments over ten years, thus identifying the
interests of the vendors completely and continuously with
that of the Company.
The total amount thus paid to the three firms for good-
will in Shares and Debentures will be £375,000, which
sum is calculated upon their actual profits for three years ;
without eFtimating any increase from new business, or
savings which will be effected by the amalgamation, and
assuming only the present profits of the united firms, a
large dividend may, therefore, be anticipated on the paid-
up capital, from the establishment of the company.
The amalgamated firms and their immediate connexions
are prepared to subscribe for a large portion of the pro-
posed capital ; but as it is believed that the influence and
prosperity of the Company will be increased by establish-
ing it on a wide and a public basis, and that many inves-
tors will gladly seize the opportunity of thus becoming
merchants without the unlimited risks of partnership, the
directors have decided to open the subscription to the
public.
To meet the wishes of those who may desire to pay up
at once the amount that is intended to be called on the
shares, it has been decided to allow such prepayments to
the extent of £5O per share, and such shares will then rank
for dividend in proportion to the amount paid up. A
separate form of application for such shares
for the forma-
is enclosed.
There will be no promotion-money paid
tion of the Company.
Applications for shares, accompanied by a remittancepa for
the deposit, may be made to the Bankers and Brokers.
The Articles of the Association are open for inspection at
' the Office of the Solicitors.

This Society is now prepared to issue Debentures for 3,5,
or 7 years, being Interest at the rate of Five per cent. per
annum, payable half yearly. The Debenture Bonds are fur
£lOO, £l5O, £3OO, £5OO, £l,OOO.
Forms of application may be obtained at the Offices of the
Society, No. 60, 1 hreadneedle-street, E.C.

GUIDE TO THE QUACKS OF LONDON.
A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in
the " aiedical with the signature of "Detector,"
has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet. Thc
rea ter of " Punch" should read this pamphlet also. He has
of ten read, in the pages of "Purfch," of c,rtain Quacks, frau-
dulent and noisome, who obtain money by false pretences,
and more money by menaces and extortion, from green
young men. For their names, which "Punch" would not
advertise, he has referred his readers to the lower corner of
the advertisim; columns of low newspapers, amongst which
too mauy of Mr." Punch's" contemporaties, espeziatiy in the
country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub-
lish the information that a nominal list of these miscreants.
with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning
them, needful to be known will be found in the pamphl, t
above referred to, which is entitled " Revelations of Quacks
an i Quackery." and is to be had at the "Medical Circular"
Office, 20, King William-street, Strand, W.C.
The vile practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel
rapacity, and the enormous gains of the obscene tribe of
Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to
the causation of suicide, are fully set forth in " Revelations
of Quacks and Qackery." And mark especially that, as
aforesaid, the name;= of the Quacks are published. The
pamphlet in question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di-
rectory, bv consulting which every young man may know
where he may go if he wishes to get plundered and destroyed.
Buy, therefore, reader, by all means buy " tt evelations of
Quacks and Quackery." Its contents will astonish and amuse
you, while they invoke your indignation and disgust. Of
course you eo not want it on account of its warnings for your
own sake, but you doubtless do for that of the many simple-
tons with whom you must be acquainted, it your acquaint-
ance is large. " Who are the Quacks that 'Punch' means ?"
Consider what it is to he able to answer this question of the
young and inexperienced, and, for charity's sake, if for no
other, go and provide yourself with "Revelations of Quacks
and Quackery," by Detector.—Punch, April 12.

should he be elected, to be allowed to exercise his
best judgment in the discharge of his duty, without
regard to what party happened to be in power.
Indeed, he thought at the present day it mattered
comparatively little who were the men they had in
power, but it mattered very much indeed what were
the principles upon which the Government acted.
The great point was to return men to Parliament
who would maintain the spirit of the Constitution
intact. And why? Because, during the last 30 years
this country had enjoyed an amount of prosperity,
happiness, peace, and advancement beyond parallel
in the history of the world. They had true liberty,
absolute liberty, and not universal suffrage without
the power of exercising it ; they were not subject to
be called on by a person from the Home-office with
a request to vote for a partiCular candidate. He
would reform all that required reform, but preserve
all that was ancient, venerable, and good. He was
opposed to lowering the suffrage. He did not con-
sider the suffrage to be a right, but a trust. The
existing electors were trustees acting for the benefit
of the country at large, and not for their own
benefit. He would gladly confer the suffrage on
men of intelligence and property, who might fairly
be considered to come within the spirit of the Con-
stitution. As to Mr. Baines's bill, it was all a sham.
How many £6 houses were there in Westminster in
the occupation of respectable mechanics ? The bill
would not have added 100 votes to the constituency
of the city. The prosperity of the country was
owing to the confidence which was felt in the con-
tinuance of the present state of things. It en-
couraged the investment of capital and the develop-
ment of all the material resources of the country.
There had been wars in almost every part of the
continent, while England had enjoyed uninterrupted
peace. This was not owing to one or to another,
but to the careful working of the Constitution under
which we lived. There was another point he would
refer to, and that was the increasing intelligence of
the working classes, and that might be mainly attri-
buted to what was called the fourth estate—the
newspaper press. Of the power of that press the
People largely availed themselves, and this operated
more practically for their benefit than any Parlia-
mentary representation could do, even if universal
suffrage were accorded to them. (Cheers.) Mr.
Smith then said he should always be ready to pro-
mote the local interests of the city of Westminster,
and concluded a very long address by declaring that
he would not enter Parliament other than as an in-
dependent man, unpledged to any leader or any
party ; but with a full determination to do his duty
according as God had given him ability and power
to understand it. (Cheers.)
Lord INGESTRE, after expressing his warm ap-
proval of the opinions which had been declared by
Mr. Smith, and saying that he should prefer having
thatgentleman his representative than his friend Mr.
Grosvenor, who, while speaking Conservatism, would
vote Radicalism, moved the following resolution :

" That this meeting having heard with satisfaction Mr.

lution.

The chairman put the question to a shOw of hands,
when more than two-thirds of the meeting were in
favour of its adoption.
The meeting then ended.

he will never consent to the abolition of church-
rates without a substitute. He claims for the Con-
servative party that they have not during the pre-
sent Pailiament harassed the Government, by which
they were displaced, by any factious opposition, or
evinced any eagerness for the resumption of office.
He concludes as follows :

" In or out of power, they (the Conservative party) will,
I doubt not, continue faithfully to represent that large and
I believe, daily increasing section of public opinion which
considers that it needs no great change in the fundamental
institutions of England to develops all her resources and
maintain the position she has acquired in the foremost rank
of civilised nations. The removal of abuses, the ameliora-
tion of laws, the respectful consideration of real grievances,
whether of_classes or individuals, are as much within the
range of a truly Conservative policy as a prudent man
places al4longthe objects most demandinghis care and fore-
thought—the repairs of the house he does not desire to pull
down, and the improvement of the property he declines to
risk by taking shares in every bubble company."
Mr. Abel Smith appeals to his votes in Parliament
as furnishing evidence that, while reserving to him-
self freedom of action and independence of judgment
he has uniformly united " with the Opposition in
resisting those repeated attacks on the Constitution,
in Church and State, which have emanated from the
Liberal party." He believes that the malt-tax is
prejudicial to the interests of the growers of barley,
and " enhances the price of a necessary article of
consumption among the working classes." He de-
sires to see the Protestant character of the Church
of England maintained, and will 'resist any attacks
on the Church, from whatever quarter they may
come, but he wishes to see " her efficiency keep pace
with the growing wants of the country." He is
" opposed to the lowering of, the franchise," but
" would support a well-considered measure for its
extension," as he thinks " there are many persons
entitled by property and qualified by education who
might be safely admitted to exercise that important
trust."

Mr. H. E. Surtees says that his opinions with
reference to the malt-tax remain unchAnged. He
will support measures " likely to promote the
peace, welfare, and efficiency of the Established
