THE Society expends no Capital for an uncertain return;
it accumulates property yet incurs no liability; it has no
speculative character, but employs the combined powers and
united interests of many Capitalists in the purchase of sound
securities. which, however advantageous, would be too great in
amount or too distant in time for any single purchaser prudently
to attempt to make his own.
Prospectus, describing the mode of obtaining Shares, and
detailing the objects and advantages of the Company, may be
obtained from any of the Agents, or by Latter (post-paid) to the
Secretary in London.
The Directors are already fully prepared to complete the
purchase of any approved Properties of the nature described in
their Prospectus, and will immediately attend to the Proposals
addressed to them. By order,
W. BERWICK HODGE, Secretary.

terrupted view up and down the river, with the shipping in the
docks and the town in the back ground. The grounds around
the house are tastefully laid out by an eminent landscape
gardener, which, with a marine parade, (now in progress of
building,) half a mile in length, will present most delightful
promenades. It is the determination of M. DousoN to endea-

choicest Wines, Spirits, &c., and best of every thing in season,
having a due regard to the comfort of her house and civility and
attention of her servants.

most complete, and, as the Chester Turnpike-road runs within
a very short distance of the house, points this out as a most
convenient Posting-house. Post Horses and Cars are always
in readiness. Dinners supplied on the shortest notice. The
Steam-boats to this Ferry ply punctually every half hour.

MUNICIPAL DISCUSSIONS.-THE "REFORMED"
TOWN COUNCIL OF STOCKPORT.

We take the following from the Stockport Advertiser of Friday.
MEETING OF THE CORPORA TION.-A ROW IN THE COUNCIL

CHAMBER.
The adjourned Meeting of the Council Commissioners, took
place on Wednesday, in the Court-room.
A discussion took place as to the propriety of giving notice
of special business before it could be entertained at any meet-
ing, and the Town-clerk said that after an arrangement among
themselves surely it would not be broken.
Mr. Stitfoll.—i3ut it has been broken, and would be again
broken unless it was defined what was not common business.
The original resolution alluded to having been handed over
to the Mayor for his p'rusal, he expressed himself warmly
against the way in which the motion was drawn up and entered;
for, with all his discernment, he could not make common sense
of such a contradictory, ambiguous resolution (hear, hear.)
Here, Mr. Town-clerk, take it. (Laughter.)
The Town-clerk having cast a smile at the way in which it
was worded,
Mr. Stitfull observed that that very resolution was Mr. Cop-
pock's, for he well recollected him bringing, it forward ! What !
(continued Mr. Stitfoll in a tone of self-confidence) it is bad
spelling and worse grammar, hey? (Laughter.) I had no
part in the dictation of that, gentlemen ! It's your own.—
(Order, order.)
Town-clerk.—Mr, Stitfoll,-I really—
, Mr. Stitfoll.—l care not what yod say. There, sir, it's only
tit for tat.
Town-clerk.—l am not here to answer the insinuation which
any impertinent councillor chooses to make fur other purposes.
And really, if the council do not insist upon and maintain some
sort of order, I can only say that my situation is exceedingly
unpleasant.
Mr. Stitfoll.—What do you say, sir? I'll let you know that
I'm not an impertinent councillor. lam not such an imperti-
nent, dirty, fellow as you are, neither; for it's your dirty, lying,
conduct that has made me say this much; and I shall always say
so, because I can prove it.
Town-clerk.—Mr. Stitfoll, I shall not pay any attention to
what you say. (Cries of " order.")
Mr. Stitfoll.—You may call " order" as long as you like. As
a councillot, I shall not submit to be called impertinent and by
him; telling me, indeed, that I have other purposes in view for
saying what I do. I have proved him a liar many a time,
(" chair" and " order") and, look you, I can prove your Town-
clerk to be a libeller; for 1 can also prove that he is the author
of that infamous placard. [Here Mr. Stitfoll hand in a hand-
bill signed " Au Observer," issued prior to the municipal elec-
tion with a view, as Mr. Stitfoll stated, to prevent the burgesses
from electing him, because he refused to pledge himself to
support Mr. Coppock for the situation of Town-clerk against
Mr. Winterbottom.]
The Mayor was sorry that his playful expressions on the
ambiguity of the revolution should have given rise to this un-
pleasantness.
On the motion of Alderman Thornhill seconded by Mr.
Hampson—it was eventually resolved that no special business
be entertained at a meeting of the Police Commissioners with-
out five days notice be given to the Town-clerk previous to
such meeting; and that such notice be inserted in the circular.

PATENT RIGUT IN FLAX MACH IN ERY.—The important cause
of Kay v. Marshall, in which Mr. Kay, of Bolton, is the plaintiff,
and Messrs. Marshall and Co., of Leeds, defendants, will come
on for trial at the approaching Yolk assizes, and will excite a
powerful interest, as it is to try Mr. Kay's right to a very pro-
fitable patent for the flax-spinning frame, which is disputed by
Messrs. Marshall, and many of the Irish and Scotch flax-spin-
ners. It is a special jut y cause.
H or INTELLIGENCE.—In almost every direction the accounts
all agree that the hops are making extraordinary progress with
litttle or nothing to cheek them.—Maiditorte Gazette.
His Majesty's ship Terror, Captain Back, in tow of his Ma-
jesty's steamer Radamanthus, arrived in Aberdeen Bay on
Monday night, wind-bound. Captain 'Back is on a voyage of
discovery to the North-west Passage. The steamer will accom-
pany him through the Pentland Frith, and then return to Wool-
wich.
