r. decided advantages iOSses7;il by Joint Stock Compa-
nies, in all large undertakings, ha%ebecome so well and, so
generally known that little needs be said to recommend them.
The publicity of their proceedings, and the sound general
principles by which they are governed, afford the best grantee
of their solidity ; but their chief recommendatio s, that they
Pnable men of moderate capital to participat n those profits
hitherto enjoyed exclusively bythe wealthy
If, therefore, an article of universal co mption, (and in the
manufacture of which a large capital is i quired,) can be proved
to yield a great and steady profit, even under the ordinary ma-
nagement of individual capital, it is reasonable toespect greater
advanta,tes from the employment of a Joint Stock Fund, accom-
panied by t he greater economy which always attends manufac-
turing upon an extensive scale.
The Brewing of Ale and Porter has hitherto been carried on
in Liverpool by comparatively small concerns; and the quality
of the latter article'especially, has rendered it necessary to im-
port largely from London and Dublin, the freight necessarily
operating as a heavr, tax upon it.
It is calculated that the consumption of the town alone is
600,tX.W.) barrels per annum, to say nothing of the immense Fo-
reign Trade of a hich the Article is capable.
It is therefore proposed to establish a Joint Stock Company,
to be called " THE LIVERPOOL ALE AND POR PER
BREWERY," having a subscribed Capital of £200,000, in
10,000 Shares of £2O each.

That the affairs of the Company shall be under the manage-
ment of a Board of Directors, (holding not less than 20 Shares
each,) to he elected by the Proprietors at large, of whom one-
third part strili go out of office annually. being re-elligible.
That Auditors (not being Directors) shall be annually elected
by the Proprietors.
That every holder of five shares shall have one vote ; of twenty
shares two votes; and one vote more for every additionaltwenty
shares; but no Shareholder to have more than six votes.
That each Shareholder shall pay a deposit of £1 per share
upon allotment; and such further calls as the Directors may re-
quire, not exceeding £5 per share at any one time.
That in preparing. the Deed of Settlement it shall be provided
that, if ever the Company shall lose one-fourth,.of its paid-up
Capital, the Directors shall call a Meeting of the Proprietors,
and lay a statement of the affairs before them, when the Com-,
pany shall be dissolved; but if any of the Shareholders are still
desirous to carry it on, they shalt be at liberty to do so, after
paying the dissentients the value (properly estimated) of their
Shares.

It will be the interest of those Licensed Victuallers who oc-
cupy free houses to become Shareholders, and thereby secure
the brewer's profit in addition to their own.
A Provisional Committee will be immediately formed, and
in the mean time applications
, for Shares tube made (post-paid)
to Mr. WaLIAM DAVENPORT, Solicitor, ,Druid-ctiurt; or to
Mr. WILLIAM FULLER, Share Broker, 66 Castle-street, Liver-
