Ihe Manchester and Liverpool District Banking Company

And whereas the Shares in the Liverpool Ale and Porter
Company are £2O each, and those of the other two Companies
only £lO, it was determined to equalize them, by allowing the
Shareholders in the first-named Company to double the number
of their Shares, (if they think proper,) by taking additional
Scrip at Mr. ULLER'S Office, 66, Castle-street, on or before
FRIDAY next, the 10th June instant.

It was further determined, that the first call of El per Share,
upon the Scrip certificates issued by any of the three Com-
panies, shall he paid to the Bankers of the Company on or
before FRIDAY, the 17th June instant. • By order,

SOLICITORS.
Messrs. Miller and Peel, Liverpool.
TH E land which it is proposed to work c sists of about 400
acres, the greater portion of which held on lease for
twenty years, and the remainder for fifte , fourteen, and seven
years, subject to a rental of L7OO per num, and a royalty of
one•seventh of the mineral produce to the lord, with a promise
of renewal of the lease without rental. _ _

The super-strata consist of Clay and Iron-stone, with inter-
layers of Coal, and the Main-coal beneath throughout the estate.
The lessees have also power to make Bricks for their local
buildings, as well as to get Stone for the same purposes.
The works completed are a Counting-house, with Dwelling
for a Superintendent, a Blacksmith's Shop, one Shaft, already
sunk to the depth of eighty yards on the Main-coal, a second
shaft fifty-five yards deep, which, by the labour of twenty-five
men, may be sunk in a month to the depth of sixtv-seven yards,
which will also reach the Main-coal, ascertained; by borincr, to
be at that depth. When this is completed, both Shafts will be
in a state to bring up Coals, superior in quality to those of other
kinds in the neighbourhood. There are three Collieries in the
vicinity, two of which are expected to be worked out within two
years. There are three Steam-engines erected, (one of eighteen
and two of ten inch cylinder,) Pump work complete on one
Shaft to the depth of eighty yards, two Weighing-machines,
four Whimsies, and a Railroad laid for about three quarters of
a mile in length, with a Coal-yard at the Terminus on the
Northop and Holvweli road.
The Vein of Coal nearly ready for working is nine feet thick,
exclusive of the Brassey Coal, of three feet,- and suitable for
smelting Iron. The latter is found in great abundance through-
out the estate, and, having been assayed by a practical and sci-
entific chemist, in Liverpool, is found to produce forty-four per
cent. of Iron ; it is, therefore, intended to erect two Furnaces to
smelt the Ore The lower Vein of Coal, which is of the best
quality, will yield about 100 tons per day, capable of considera-
ble increase, by sinking other Shafts.
The situation of these Mines is a mile from Mold, three miles
from Northop, six miles from Flint, King's Ferry. and the Vale
of Clwyd, but, as the Coals are superior in quality to those of
other Collieries in the neighbourhood, carts come to fetch them
from a distance of 22 miles.
