RAILWAY SHARES, &c., BY AUCTION,

TO SHAREHOLDERS and CAPITALISTS.
Encouraged by the recent increase of business in the Sale and
Tru:sfer of Shares in the various public Companies, British and
Foreign, and acting under the advice of friends, capitalists, and
Directors of Companies, Messrs. LA MOND and Co., Licensed
Auctioneers, have deemed the additional occupation thus created,
together with the late abolition of the auction duties, a lit 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. ;"—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. Lamond 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, Mes St's. 3fisterman and Co., Bankers, Nicholas-lane; 3lessrs.
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 under-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 r 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. ftirther 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 Subscribes s. 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
Shilling. •

This Company is established for the manufacture and sale of the
Concentrated Essences of Tea and Coffee under Staite's Patent, by
licence from the Patentee.

The advantages peculiar to the process for which this patent has
been granted, are very numerous ; but among the most prominent is
this, that while the properties of the material are completely ex-
tracted, its available quantity is augmented, and its virtues improved.
The distinctive qualities of the Essence obtained are, the retention
of the identical flavour and fragrance of the particular Tea or Coffee
used, and a degree of strength secured before unknown.
The method employed in preparing and putting up these Essences,
secures them against injury from the lapse of time and change of
climate, affords the greatest possible facility for portability and im-
modiate use, and so reduces the price to the consumer, that economy
itself furnishes an ample guarantee for their extensive use.
One teaspoonful of the Essence, in a cup cf boiling water, will be
sufficient for the instantaneous production of a cup of tea or coffee of
the finest quality.
The following certificate from Dr. Ure is, with satisfaction, sub-
joined :

" I hereby certify, that Staite's Patent Essence of Tea is a pure and
wholesome beverage ; and that is is extracted by a peculiar process,
which, while tt excludes in a great measure, the bitter and astringent
matter always present in the teapot, preserves and refines all the
exhilarating and aromatic principles of the Chinese herb. Being put
up in Mr. Rand's Collapsible Tubes of pure tin, it will keep un-
changed for any length of time.

"ANDREW URE, 111. D.,
_FRS.,

" Analytical Chemist to the Board of Customs,

The Committee-have also thought it right to have the samples of
the Essences submitted to high and unbiassed authorities in the Tea
Trade. The following testimonial from a well-known and eminent
judge is the result :
" W. J. Bland having tested the samples of the concentrated Es-
sence of Tea, manufactured under Stalte's Patent, pronounces them
clean, full and perfect.

" By whatever process the Extract is obtained, the arons4 is finely
preserved, and without the erode or fibrous property which ordinary
methods of maceration or evaporation would exhibit ; the distinctive
flavours of Pekoe, Souchong, Congob, &c., are completely preserved,
so that even critical Judges of the article would rot be able to tell any
number of cups of the diluted Essence apart from others infused
after the common method. This result may be regarded as the
acme of the invention, and its greatest protection and recommenda-
tion.

"The Coffees, extracted after the same patent, are rich and aro-
matic in flavour, and brilliant in colour : perfectly pellucid, without
the slightest sediment—whilst the distinguishing properties of the
Mocha, the Mountain Berry, and other known peculiarities, are so
naturally developed as of to be mistaken.
