tion of banking business on the Scottish System.

The Directors have the aatisfaction to annaunce that they are

429, corner of Agar-street), and No. 77, Bridge-road, Lambeth.

be hours of public business will ha from Nine a.m. till Four P.M.
daily.
The rates of interest, &c., to be charged on advances, and al-

of the market, and the value of mosey, which so frequently fluc-
tuates; hut the Directors propose that the following shall, until

TERMS OF BUSINESS :
Deposit Accounts —3 per cent. will be credited daily, on all deposits for
6 months of 11. and upwards, and the interest paid monthly, or accumu-
lated half-yearly, at the option of the depositor, for every sum not then
drawn, and which in such cases will for the next period of six months
form together art increased principal sum bearing interest at 3 per cent.;
and if not then drawn, be again accumulated as above for the next
half-yearly period, and so on progressively, compounding the interest
half-yearly. But in any particular case of need, the Directors will,
if the circumstances justify an exception from their rules, repay any
part or the whole of the deposit.
The Directors having by the Charter the peculiar privilege of gra-
dually increasing the capital, will, whoa nevi' shares are being alloted,
give a preference, after the existing shareholders, to depositors who
May wish to become proprietors, according to tha priority of their
applications, allowing, until a dividend be declared, three per cent.
interest on all deposits set apart for shares. In accordance with the
original purpose of the Institution. and of the early promise of its
Promoters, viz., to endeavour to make the proprietary body as au-
riferous as possible, and the corporation, as far as the law will per-
mit, a society for banking on the principles of a mutual benefit
association, the shareholders will have a preference in the enjoyment
of such benefits as the bank can legitimately alThrd•
Special Deposits for shorter or longer periods than six months
Will be received on such terms as may be arranged in each particular
case.

count account.

Personal security, or such guarantees as may be satisfactory to the
Bank. A commission of one per cent. half-yearly will be charged
on the amount of the credit, but interest (5 per cent. per ann.) will be
debited on the balance only of actual:cash!from time to time drawn
out by the party after deduction of the sums paid in. To share-
holders the commission on cash credits will be but a half per cent.
half-yearly.
All accounts will be balanced half-yearly.
Official rece'pts will, on the one hand, be given to customers for all
sums paid in, and their cheques on the other will be preserved by the
Bank till the succeeding half•yearly balance, when the accounts will
be certified and the vouchers exchanged, except in cases where par •
ties may specially wish for a different arrangement.
Advances or Loans cdi Promissory Notes with marketable securi-
ties readily convertible, will be made at the rates proportioned to
the nature and value of the security in each case.

of not less than one -fourth of the amount of their discounts.
All Bills for Discount must be lodged daily befoie 12 noon, and not
called for till after 2 r.at.

STRICTURE of the URETHRA; its Patho-
logy and Rational Treatment, with important Practical Ob-
servations on the Use and Abuse of Instruments in the Treatment
of Obstructions of the Urinary Canal ; showing how it is that Stric-
tures, in most cases, not only resist, but are aggravated by the ordi-
nary means adopted for their cure, and at length become seriously
complicated by the so-called " consequences of stricture." The
whole illustrated by numerous cases, which will be found to embrace
every possible forni of Stricture and its consequences, together with
appropriate means of cure.
By F. B. COURTF.NAY,
Those who are labouring under long-Protracted stricture, with all
its accompanying' miseries, will find detailed in this work modes of
treatment adapted to such cases, the efficacy and superiority of
which have been tested by repeated practice; whilst these who
are suffering under the less severe forms of the disease may find
the means of prompt relief, and at the same time such inrormation
as will protect them from becoming the victims of unskilful and
violent treatment—the main-spring of severe and complicated ob-
structions of the urinary canal. " The operation of introdudng a
catheter through an impermeable stricture is, without doubt, the
most difficult in the whole range of surgical operations, and d--
mends all the prudence, science, and skill of a master. The art
can only be acquired. and that gradually, by frequent practice."—
