afinrl may be thus stated—the Subscrib,rs know it is their own
Capital that is employed, and managed by a Directory bound to
protect their interests, anti of which they have the selection and
controul ; and especially in times of commercial embarrassment, it
is the interest and duty of Joint Stock Banks, without partiality or
caprice, to relieve their own subscribers from immediate ru'essure,
whenever the latter are in a situation in return to give sufficient
security for the accommoda'
The county of Middlesex, containing within it the Metropolis,
and a population of nearly 3,000,000, the very centre of the British

which should embrace all these advantages. This object it is in-
tended now to carry into execution.

been formed, with the present steadily increasing value which their
Shares bear in the Market, presents the meat eneguntging prospects •
of the succo.s, of 14 •propoti,d-thi(let•taking.

not only to regulate the passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from
those impurities which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have
entailed upon it. Luxurious habits s ift effeminize the body—a residence
in the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but snore especially does the
premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the natural
Oignity into a st.te inanition, from whence the agonized sufferer more
than doubts he chance of relief To all such, then. we address ourselves,
uttering hope—energy—muscular strength—felicity. The easy cares of
married life are sometimes disturbed by the suspension of those blessings
which concentrate the nuptial wreath—for the female habit is often con-
stitutionally weak—yet it can be strengthened, and da..iebt energy im.
