Established May, 1844.
Empowered by Special Act of Parliament.
THIS Company was Established in 1844, for
the purpose of opening to the puhlic an easy and unquestion-
ably safe mode of Investment, with a high and uniform rate of Inte-
rest.
The plan of the Bank of Deposit differs entirely from that of ordi-
nary Banks In the mode of employing capital—money deposited
with this Company being principally lent upon well secured Life
Interests, Reversions in the Government Funds, or other property
of ample value. This class of securities, although not immediately
convertible, it is well known yields the greatest amount of profit,
combined with the most perfect safety. Further, Loans made by
the Company are collaterally secured by a Policy of Assurance on
the life of the Borrower, or his nominee, effected at a rate of pre-
mium which secures the validity of the Policy against every pos-
sible contingency.
Thus depositors are effectually protected against the possibility of
loss, whilst the large and constantly increasing revenue arising
from the premiums on Assurances thus effected yields ample, profit
to the Company, and provides for all the expenses of management.

DEPO3/T ACCOUNTS may be opened with sums of any amount, and
increased from time to time, at the convenience of depositors.
A receipt, signed by two Directors, is given for each sum de-
posit e

RATE AND PAYMENT OF INTEREST.
The rate of Interest sinee the establishment of the Company has
never been less than five per cent. per annum ; and it is confidently
anticipated that the same careful and judicious selection from secu-
rities of the description above mentioned will enable the Board of
➢lanagement to continue this rate to depositors.
The Interest is payable in January and July. on the amount stand
in; in the name of the depositor on the 30th of June and 3. st of
December, and for the convenience of parties residing at a distance
may be received at the Branch Offices, or remitted through Country
Bankers.

LADY FRANKLIN'S FINAL SEARCH.—
The Government having come to the con-
clusion that the fate of the crews of her Majesty's ships
Erebus and Terror requires no further investigation on their
part, Lady Franklin, in accordance with her sense of what is
due to the lost navigators, is now fitting out an expedition at
her own cost.

As a preliminary measure she sought assistance from the
Admiralty, by asking for the loan of the Arctic ship Reso-
lute, which had been restored in perfect order to our Queen
by the American nation, and also for the gift (as granted in
her former private expeditions) of such stores from her Ma-
jesty's dockyards as are available for this special service only.
Compliance with these requests having been declined, Lady
Franklin is now devoting her whole fortune to this final
search ; and a large screw yacht (the Fox) lying at Aberdeen,
has been purchased, which the distinguished Arctic officer
who has accepted the command of her (Captain McClintock,
R.N.) has pronounced to be perfectly adapted to this em-
ployment.
Not repeating the arguments we formerly made use of to
induce the Government to undertake a final and exhaus-

tive search, we hold to the opinion that it is the duty of
Englishmen to examine that limited area whence the traces
of our missing countrymen were derived, which, though
it lies to the south of well-searched tracts, and has been ap-
proached by vessels that have returned without loss, has
never yet been explored.
Supported by the advice of those experienced Arctic sea-
men, in whom she has every reason to confide, Lady Franklin
makes this last effort to clear away the mystery that shrouds
the fate of her husband and his crews, and possibly to rescue
from their insulated icy abode among the Esquimaux some of
his younger companions, who may still be prolonging a dreary
existence.
On such an occasion we, whose names are hereunto sub-
scribed, feel confident that this our appeal will not remain
unanswered by the British people, •who will, we doubt not,
tender to the widow of the illustrious navigator that sym-
pathy which his fame and her devotion must call forth, and
will aid her in carrying out an enterprise involving, as we
believe, the honour of the nation.
We earnestly, therefore, entreat our countrymen to unite
with us in contributing to this noble object.

A large quantity of preserved potatoes, from Messrs. King,

A stove, from Mr. Bettie.

with advantage to themselves and the public, the in- '
ference is, that the increased and still extending trade,
shipping, and commerce of the city and harbour afford
room for additional banks ; and there is no reason why
the new race of manufacturers, traders, and merchants
who have established themselves in business since 1845
should be deprived of the privileges which their prede-
cessors enjoyed, or be prevented from combining their
own credit and adding to the money power of the com-
munity.
Contrasted with the number of banks in England, or
Australia, or Canada, and the amount of circulation in
proportion to capital, and with reference to population,
Scottish banking is unduly restricted ; and it may well
be asked, why should Scotland, which originated the
joint-stock system, and taught England and our colonies
the science or true principles of banking, be less !tee in
her banking operations than either Victoria or Canada ?
Why should her sons who stay at home be denied the
privilege of being their own bankers, while those who
emigrate are free and unrestricted.
That when the Act of 1845 was under discussion in
the House of Commons, Sir Robert Peel declared that
the monopoly which had been created in 1844, unknown
to the Scottish members, might be relayed at the expiry
of the Bank of England Charter Act, or when it came
to be renewed, on application being made, or causes
shown for such relaxation.
That your petitioners are satisfied that the policy of
restricting the number of banks in Scotland is ex'rernely
fallacious. It can have no other effect than to increase
the power and profits of those who deal in and live by
money at the expense of the industrious, and productive,
and commercial classes.
That your petitioners are of opinion that the expedi-
ency of affixing a price or monetary denorninetion to our
gold coins or sovereigns ought to be a principal point of
inquiry by the committee on the Bank Charter Act, and
also that all monopolies of banking and undue and arbi-
trary restrictions should be done away, and that there
should be as much freedom in banking as in baking —in
the supply of money as in the supply of food—and that
cheap or low prices for the one are not more important
than cheap or low rates of usance or interest fcr the other.
But what your petitioners wish more immediately to ,
press on the attention of your hon. house is that the
prohibition against the formation of new banks in Scot-
land, and the law as to the reserves of gold, should be
repealed, or at all events revised, amended, or relaxed
to the effect of permitting the formation of new banks in
Scotland, especially in the city of Glasgow and other
localities where the population, trade, and commerce
have increased, and in proportion to such increase, and
the substitution of Government securities to be held by
the banks instead of gold coins as a security for the pay-
ment or " convertibility" of their notes.
Mey it therefore please your honourable house to take
this petition into consideration, and with or without
remitting the same to the committee on the renewal
of the Bank of England Charter Act, to alter,
amend, modify, or relax tae Acts 1844 and 1845 to
the effect foresaid.
And, as in duty bound, your petitioners will ever

pray, &c.
It is to be hoped the people of Scotland will
avenge the insult inflicted on them in 1814, when
unknown to them their monetary independence
was destroyed, and through the commerce of a few
sordid bankers, who were purchased by a monopoly
of their trade in their favour, the nation was
brought under the hoof of the money power of
England by Peel's Law of 1844. The men of Glas-
gow have undertaken a patriotic duty, and we trust
they will perform it well.

There were two heats for this race. The time appointed
for the start was four o'clock, but the starter, whose watch
had stopped, fancied that the hour had arrived, and sent
the following from the post.
Mr. I'Anson's Courtenay, 5 yrs' 7st (Withington) 1
Mr. C. Winteringham's Alma, 4 yrs, 6st 61b...(Ducker) 2

The following also ran :

The betting was 2 to 1 agst Courtenay, 3 to 1 agst De
Ginkel, 4to 1 agst Alma, and sto 1 agst Logie O'Bnehan.
The horses passed the chair in the order stated above,
Courtenay coming in first by a length, Alma beating Logie
O'Buchan by halt a length. De Ginkel and Caliph were
close up.
Now, it appeared that Charlton had weighed for Merlin,
but the horse did not ranch the course until within a few
minutes of the time set for the start. The owner of the
horse, therefore, objected to the race, on the ground that it
had been run a quarter of an hour before the time, and at
four o'clock he caused his horse to walk over the course,
and then claimed the stakes. The stewards immediately
investigated the case, and after a most protracted discus-
sion, decided that the first heat " no race," and that all
bets on it were void. The deciding heat was then ap-
pointed to take place at 6 o'clock, after the other events
had been ru
"n off.
For the second go," in an ear-
the following put app
ance :
