BANKERS,

Messrs. Williams: Deacon, Labouchere, Thornton, and Co.
rpHE progressive and rapid decline of the British
Whale Fisheries, and the simultaneous advance of those
of America, is fraught with considerations equally humiliating
and alarming. The first naval power in the world now em-
ploys but 85 I:hips in this, the most enterprising branch of ma-
ritime commerce, whilst the latest returns show the number of
Whaling Ships from the United States to be 735 !
. .

It is that the causes of the decay of this important
trade have been satisfactorily traced, and that the British
Whale Fisheries may be restored; with eminent public advan:

reiinired for the undertaking. The tiovernment nas marred
its approval of the plan submitted•to its consideration, by the
now unuroal grant of a Royal Charter of Incorporation ; and
the shares of the Company are, with (it is hoped not unreason-
able) confidence offered to the public.

The objects of the Company being national, Ono emoracmg
within their scope the improvement of the moral and social
condition of British seamen, the Directors are anxious, if pos
sible, to divest it of the character of a Metropolitan Associa
tion, and to secure for its efforts a general sympathy anctcot
With this view_ th:.w are desirous of exte- "--
