Hitherto the entire property of the shareholders in Joint-
stock Banks has been liable for the debts and engagements
of the Bank of which they were proprietors, and the risks
and inconveniences which have occasionally occurred
therefrom have necessarily deterred many from investing
their caoital in shares in such undertakings.
The Joint-stock Banking Companies Amendment Acts,
passed expressly to remove this uncertain risk, and to give
confidence in Joint-stock Banks, have entirely obvioted
this objection as regards Banks of limited liability, and
the " Metropolitan and Provincial Bank (limited)," has
been established under the express provisions of those Acts,
so that no shareholder therein can possibly be liable for
any sum beyond the amount of the shares he holds.
The following tabular statement of the business results of
four of the London Joint-stock Banks to the 30th June last,
clearly indicates their advancing success, and the present
market value of their shares,

The current accounts and deposits held by the London
Joint-stock Banks on the 30th of June last, amounted to a
total of £47,315,356, being £5,407,772 more than the total
at the corresponding period of last year ; there is, therefore,
ample room for others, and especially for one which will
secure all the benefits of the existing Joint-stock Banks, and
at the same time positively lim.t the liability of every share-
holder therein. And with regard to the customers, as it is
not intended to call up more than £25 per share of the sub-
scribed capital of the bank, the remaining £75 will form an
ample guarantee to them.

The" Times," in its Money Article of the 2d February,
1860, with reference to the Bank of Manchester, the con-
stitution of which had been recently changed to limited
liability under the new acts, remarked :—" At a meeting of
the Bank of Manchester yesterday a very satisfactory
account was given of the results of registering under limited
liability. That step was adopted in July last, and the
balance- sheet now presented for the past half-year showed
that the deposits have increased, and that while the general
condition of the bank has improved, th 9 shares have become
more widely diffused, the augmentation in the number of
holders being 40 per cent. It is believed, likewise, that the
d
p.roencprietary now includes many persons of wealth and pru-
e, who would have avoided all commitments of an
Undefined character. At the same time the marketability
of the shares and also their value have been favourably
influenced."
At the Half-yearly Meeting of the same Bank, held in
January last, it was shown that since the Company had
become limited the shareholders had very nearly doubled
in number, while the current accounts had increased 35 per
cent, and the lodgment accounts 69 per cent., with a cor-
responding increase in the amount deposited.
The Liverpool Commercial Banking Company, originally
established with unlimited liability, have also taken advan-
tage of the new principle, and the following is an extract
from the Report presented at the General Meeting held on
the 9th of March last :—" It is in a high degree pleasing to
the Directors to be enabled to state, as they confidently do,
that the principle of limited liability' adopted by the Bank
has so fully justified their hopes. The general business of the
Bank has never been better; no branch of it has suffered ;
on the contrary, new and valuable accounts are added,
bringing an increase of business, while some substantial and
valuable proprietors, who objected to hold shares under
unlimited liability,' have joined the Bank as shareholders;
the number of proprietors is increased, and the price of the
Bank's shares shows that they are considerably enhanced
in nubile estimation."

The Directors, Auditors, and other Officers will be re-
quired to make the usual declaration of secrecy.
Powers are taken in the articles of association to estab-
lish branch banks in the metropolis and the provinces, as
soon as the business operations of the Bank justify its ex-
tension.

nN TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA ;
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De-
bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis.

Translated from the German of Dr. PliniFORD.
" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.
" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.

" We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Picktord ;
but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
'it"within Ma reach of every one interested in the matter."—
