RAILWAY SHARES, &c., BY AUCTION.
TO SHAREHOLDERS and CAPITALISTS.
Encouraged by the recent increase of business in the Sale and
Transfer of Shares in the various public Companies, British and
Foreign, and acting under the advice of friends, capitalists, and
Directors of Companies, Messrs. LAMOND and Co., Licensed
Auctioneers, have deemed the additional occupation thus created,
together with the late abolition of the auction duties, a at oppor-
tunity for opening a separate and independent practice, to which
they have determined to devote their undivided attention, declining
all other business for this express purpose, viz.—" For the Sale by
Auction of Shares in Railways, British and Foreign; Assurance,
Mining, and Canal Companies ; Joint-Stock Banks, Debentures,
Bonds, &c., &c. ;"—in short, of every description of Interest con-
nected with the numerous Companies formed and now forming in the
commercial world. _ . .

In arriving at this determination, it will be the anxious desire of
Messrs. Lamont! and Co. to give every information and satisfaction
to their friends and the public ; and looking at the probable magni-
tude of operations yielding adequate remuneration, they have re-
solved to adopt a low scale of ad valorem charge by way of Commis-
sion, and where Sales are not effected, a small fee (merely sufficient
to cover the expenses of printing, advertising, &c., &c.) for putting
up the lots.
As all Scrip and Share Certificates must be deposited for examina-
tion at least one day previous to their being offered to public compe-
tition, Messrs. Masterman and Co., Bankers, Nicholas-lane; Messrs.
Ransom and Co., Bankers, Pall-mall East, London, have been
pleased ;to allow reference to be made to them in regard to the
respectability of the firm of Lamond and Co.
They purpose selling every Tuesday and Friday in each week, in
their Rooms, at the ander-mentioned Hall, at One o'clock precisely,
until further notice, commencing on Tuesday next, the 3d day of
June ; to which place letters and orders, containing instructions,
&c., &c., are respectfully requested to be addressed, and where one
or more of the partners will be always in attendance, t 3 be conferred
with, if required ; and advices of the operations of the day will be
forwarded by the first post after each day's sale, and the proceeds
paid according to their correspondents' instructions.
Messrs. Lamond and Co. further propose to take subscriptions of
a Guinea per annum from all parties desiring to have Catalogues sent
them on the night before the sale, except Bankers, Members of the
Stock Exchange, and Subscribers to the Hall of Commerce, to whom
they will on application be delivered gratis ; but to prevent incon-
venient intrusion no one can be admitted into the Sale Room without
a Catalogue, which if furnished at the door will be charged One
