CITY OF LONDON, MARYLEBONE, AND WEST-
MINSTER JOINT STOCK BANKING COMPANY.
THE ground which this Bank had proposed to take having
been pre-occupied by another Company with similar ob-
jects in view, under the title of "The Borough of Saint Mary-
lebone Bank," the Provisional Committee have considered it
advisable, in order to avoid a tedious and expensive contest
highly detrimental to the interests of both, to disco inue this
Company. and to enter into an arrangement wit e Borough
of Saint Alarvlebone Bank, by which thep are abled to give
to the latter (heir cordial assistance and si p t.
In return for such support, the Director f the Saint Mary-
lebone Bank have consented that the Sha e List of this Com-
pany shall be incorporated with theirs, and shall be in every
respect considered as an integral part of the same, subject,
however, to the usual investigation.
All further applications for Shares will, therefore, be addressed
to the Secretary of the Saint Marylehone Bank, at the Offices
of the Company,_No. 9, Cavendish-square, London.

ANTI DRY-ROT COMPANY.
KYA AT'S PATENT
FOR THE PRESERVATION OF ALL TIMBERS, CANVASS, CORDAGE,
&C. FROM DRY-ROT AND DECAY.
Con.cituted by Act of Parliament.
9-111 E Directors of the above Company beg to cal the atten-
tion of the Nobility, Gentry, and the Pub at large to
one of the most important discoveries ever ma , viz., that of
preserving, at a moderate expense, all Timbe , Canvass, Cord-
age, &c. from the destructive ravages °fp.; Rot, Mildew, and
Decay.
As this process, discovered by Mr. KYAN, has now stood the
test of eight years' trial and proof, without a single instance of
failure ever occurring, (as can be proved by documents and the
indisputable testimonials of men of the first talent and experi-
ence,) the Directors refrain from expatiating further as to the
perfect reliance that may be placed on it. but refer to the evi-
dence of Professor Fartidy, Sir Robert Smirke, &c. The pur-
poses for which the Company has been forrne4l, and for which
an Act of Parliament has been obtained, are for the establish-
ment of Public Tanks in large Towns for the preparation
Timber, &c. ; and, in order to diffuse more widely the benefit
of this invaluable discovery, to grant Licenses for the use of the
Patent Process to Timber Merchants, Ship Builders, &c., for
the purposes of Trade, and to the Nobility and Gentry, for
their private Estates. The advantages arising from Mr.
Kyan's process are obvious. By its adoption all Wood is pre-
served from the destructive ravages of Dry Rot; and the Tim-
ber of an inferior description, such as Beech, Larch, Poplar,
Scotch Fir, &e., is rendered available f.r all domestic and
agricultural purposes. It has, moreover, the property of sea-
soning Titnber at once, so that a Tree may be felled with the
leaf growing, and, after immersion in the solution, may be im-
me,liately applied to those uses for which long seasoned Timber
is now conceived to be requisite, without ever being liable, as
every species of unprepared Wood is, to Dry-rnt and Decay.
PURPoSES FOR WHICH THE PREPARED TIMBER, &C. IS
AVAII.ABI.E.

Public Works. I Shipping.
Docks, Steam-beats,
Bridges, Barges,
Piers and Piles, Boats,
Sleepers for Railways. Masts and Spars, &c.
BUILDINGS IN GENERAL.
Posts, Rails, Gates, Fences, Park Palings, Hop Poles, &c.
For these purposes any kind of timber may now be used in-
stead of the more expensive kinds. It will also supersede, in
many cases, the employment of iron, from its acquired dura-
bility and greater economy.
PREPARED CANVASS, CALICO, ROPES, FOR
Sails, Hammocks, &c., Rick Cloths, Tarpaulings, -
Tents, Sacks, Bags,
Awnings and Cloth Blinds, Fishing-nets, &c.

by application to the Secretary, at the Office, No. '2, Lime-
street-square, Leadenhall-street, London, or to Mr. JAMES J.
