The principal objects contemplatedby this institution are-
-Ist. To provide a well-selected and ample ,collection of
models and apparatus calculated to illustraty'the most im-
portant branches of the arts and manufackufers, and for the
display of experiments combining philo-odphical instruction
with general entertainment.
2nd. To afford facilities for demo rating practically such
elementary principles in mechanics, chemistry, and other de-
partments of practical science, as admit of direct application
to the useful arts.

3rd. To exhibit the progress which has been gradually
making, and which may still be made, in branches of know-
ledge subservient to productive industry.
4th. To stimulate research and foster inventive talent, by
honorary or pecuniary rewards.
sth. To furnish, like the Adelaide Gallery in London,
such attractions to the junior members of the community as
would allure them to the acquisition of valuable knowledge,
by affording them pleasure in the pursuit of it.
The Gallery to be open to the public under regulations to
be fixed by the directors, upon payment of a small fee for
admission, to be applied to the support of the institution.
It has been calculated that the capital requisite to carry
the undertaking into effect, upon a scale commensurate with
the importance of the town and neighbourhood, will amount
to about £12,000, which it is proposed to raise in shares of
£lO each ; and it has been estimated that the institution will
yield a very liberal interest to the shareholders, in addition
to the personal advantages to be derived.
The affairs of the institution to be under the management
of a board of directors, consisting of shareholders, to be an-
nually elected by the shareholders at large, who are to be
entitled to one vote in the election of directors, and at the
annual or special meetings of the shareholders, in respect of
each share.

A deposit of £1 per share to be paid on allotment of the
shares.

Applications for shares to be made to Mr. SOWLER, St.
Ann's-square : to Messrs. T. CARDWELL and SONS, Share-
brokers, Marsden-street ; or to Messrs. WHITLOW and RAD-
FORD, Solicitors, St. James's-square, Manchester, from
whom copies of the prospectus may be obtained.
