PROSPECTUS.-
The sound principles upon which the system of Joint-Stock
Banking is based, and the benefits which its practical appli-
cation have conferred upon the public, are now universally
admitted. Banking Companies, with large subscribed an I
paid-capitals, and protected by the responsibility of nume-
rous porters, have been long in profitable operation in every
part of the kingdom. In the City of London there are six
Joint Stock Banks ; and so great is the confidence of the
public iu the soundness of those establishments that their
Deposits amount to more than Thirty Millions sterling. Tho
market value of their Shares ranges from 55 to upwards of
200 per cont. premium upon the amount paid; and is founded
upon the iarge dividends they have declared, which, at pre-
sent (in addition to very ample reserve funds), average up-
wards of 15 per cent. per annum, inclusive of bonuses.
It is a remarkable fact that, with the experience of the
solidity and usefulness of these institutions, no Independent
Joint-Stock Bank exists iu the Western part of the Metropo-
lis, notwithstanding the increased demand for banking ac-
commodation and the rapid growth of the population. The
Branches of the City Banks are, no doubt, important auxili-
aries; but, being controlled by instructions from the parent
office, their Managers necessarilyexercise alimited discretion.
Tho " Western Bank of London'. will afford to the West of
the Metropolis all the benefits which are 'derived by parties
who transact their banking business directly with an indepen-
dent institution. It will have at the West-end its Board of Di-
rectors, its -discount and other Committees, who will adapt
their system of management to the wants of the various
classes of its customers. It will open current accounts ; re-
ceive deposits at agreed-upon rates of interest ; discount
bills ; make advances upon approved securities ; undertake
at moderate charges the agency of persons resident abroad ;
receive dividends upon stocks, public or private ; collect and
transmit pays, pensions, and annuities ; and generally carry
on all the legitimate operations of banking.
The financial position of Joint Stock Banks (unlike ihat of
private partnerships) i , published at the yearly and half-
yearly meetings of their Proprietors, when a balance-sheet,
verified by two auditors appointed by that body, is submitted
to the scrutiny, not only of the Proprietors, but of the public.
The Shares in the London Joint Stock Banks (including
those recently incorporated) are almost the only description
of security which has undergone no depreciation during the
war ; they have, on the contrary, steadily advanced in value.
The subjoined table, extracted from public documents,
furnishes unequivocal evidence of the advantages which ori-
ginal Proprietors may secure by the investment of capital in
Joint Stock Banks.

burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society,

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting 130 m certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man -
'food, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any
other class of Macau known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
particularly recomfrended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their physical condition, and who are cceascious of having hazarded
the health. happino,s, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled.
It is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there are
principles of personal management which cannot be violated without
Incurring grievous len/titles, and when wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
may be mitigated, Sew the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
find how the evil aid its consequences maybe avoided, and above all,
that there is scarce 7 any decree of physical 'annuity or functional
derangement to whch the timely aid of ctionce cannot apply a cure.
The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive
practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have
unfortunately beer too generally confided tc the care of ignorfixt
empiric!, who infiitt great injury on those who are induced to place
faith in their protessions.

The Messrs. ROBERT COCKS and Co. beg to express their
regret at the inconvenience occasioned to their friends and the mu-
sical public by their inability, thus far, to supply the unusual de-
mand for this favourite song, and to state that they have now taken
effectual means of lessening that inconvenience by causing addi-
tional sots of litho. plates to be prepared, so that a greater number
of presses may be kept constantly at work in multiplying coPi" to
meet the increasing inquiry. To prevent disappointment, it is re-
quested that orders be forwarded at least a week in advance. In-
