The fears entertained Jiy the Lord Chancellor (than
whom, out of his own proleasion, there is not a greater
old woman. in the country), that Joint Stock Com-
panies:irould have the - effect of ruining . all private.
traders,, who would be unable to sustain competition
with them, appear now ludicrous in the .extreme, when
experience, 4p,srdenunotratcd that, :except for cutting
canals, making bridges . and ,roads, or dOcks,- or for
carrying on businesses that admit of no deviation front
established principles, as Banking, these .Companies
fail altogether in their object. In -priwie concerns, in-
dividuals are powerfully Annulated by the hope of
' gain and the dread of
,failure. But in these, great Joint
,Stoek'concerns, there is no motive for calling forth the
ingenuity of the individual shareholders:. 'They are a 11,,.
it Is true, interested in the success of the concern, but
it often happens that individual shareholderS may 'pro-
motetheir separate interests it the eXpence ofthe- interests
of the Company. All the inhabitants of a State are
interested in its prosperity; but it tSonot the less ithe that
many a man Makes a fortune by 'maims whichiare'ex-
tremely injurious to the interests of that State.We
have an example of the Manner in' which the interests
'of Joint Stock Coinpanies are sacrificed for the inte-
rests of particular Shareholders, in a circumstance
that is now. exciting not a little attention in the City
of: London. , Billa to a large amount, drawn from
South America On the various Mining Associations
in this country, have .lately been returned, without
acceptance.. . It has ,been. justly ' observed, that this
will be productive .of.great :inconvenience to , the
holders, and to the ruin of numerous houses in South'
America who have endorsed , the: bills. The indivt-
dnals'sent'frpm this country to
,America, as Commit-,
sioners and Agents for the different Companies, have,'
in some instances, grossly abused the. confidence re-
posed in them, , embarking money, in the creating of
revolutions, instead of working mines. But then this
brings us back to the radical vice of these Associations.
There are few men who have not sons, brotherSi
cousins, who, from their stupidity, dissipated
,habiti;
want of principle, or some other cause, cannot he
disposed of to any goOd purpose at licime. A Direc-
tor or other Functionary will have no objection to
pal:ming off one of these hopeful gentlemen on the
Company underhis management, in the character of a
Commissioner or 'Agent, , though he, would not trust
bin with a hundred pounds of his own money. 'lt
is, we believe, notorious, that very improper nomina-
tions. have, in this way, been made ; and indeed; ia
very slight knowledge of human nature might 1414 e
tirepared'us for such an abuse. This is an evil at*,
mg out of these associations, for which there is no-.
remedy. But the consequences in South AmeriCa
Wilt be dreadful. We cannot wonder that bills, drawn
by the, accredited agentS of a Conothy, to which
naineg of the first rack` to ieSpeetabliity in thy, City
of London heleintsl, iiitonld. be roeeived withbut dih-
tatt4; but what . a shock will the dishohOurhig of
thew bills give' to English credit in the Kew World 1
What will 'become of the many Englishmen inveigl4d
