THIS Company is formed for the purpose of effectually
working several veins of IRON STONE and seams of Corr.,
in the county of Flint. The Iron Stone (of 'which there are
three veins) is all of very good quality, and one vein, which is
remarkably rich, is within twenty yards of the surface. The
Coal (of which there .are five seams) is excellent for making
iron and for household purposes, and the seam called the Main
Coal is fifteen feet thick, and is within fifty yards of the surface.
The iron will rank amongst the best in the kingdom, and the
land sale of coal is considered to be certain, therefore it may be
safely assumed that so substantial, profitable, and permanent
Investment of Capital is not likely to ire found, and may be
soon realised. The mineral being near to the surface, good,
abundant, and at a short distance and of easy access to the
best market, warrant the presumption, as demonstrated' in the
calculation, that the Shareholders will receive very unusually
large dividends on their advances. Should the Company not
proceed. (of which, however, not the least doubt is entertained,)
the deposits will be returned withoUt any deduction.
Applications for Prospectuses and Shares to he made (post-
paid) to T. G. MARGA EY, Esq., Quality'-court, Chaneery•laue.

NORTH OF ENGLAND LETTER-PRESS FOUNDRY

• • '•• COMPANY. - - -
CAPITAL £lO,OOO, IN. 4,000 SHARE
AT'T'ENTION is requested to the fo owing plain statemen
of facts, in which no appeal is ade to those who are noi.
interested in the Trade, because the universal feeling of all who
are acquainted with the subject calls for the Formation of some
such proposed Company. When it is considered how many
Printing Establishments are anxious to remove the difficulty,
the delay, and the expense of obtaining Types, and to have a
Foundry permanently fixed in this County, the success of this
undertaking can admit of no doubt.
The immense commercial relations of Liverpool cause a great
demand for Letter-press Types for exportation. The progres-
sive increase of Newspapers in this country (which the projected
reduction of the Stamp Duties will greatly accelerate) demands
an additional supply of Types. Public curiosity is led to in-
quire whence the Trade has hitherto been supplied, and it will
scarcely be credited that, although Liverpool is the great
place
of export to Ireland, to the British Colonies, and to the Ame-
ricas, there is no Foundry of Types nearer than Sheffield, and
there is NONE in Ireland, the greater part of what is used there
being transmitted through Liverpool.
To establish a Letter-press Foundry a Company has been
formed in Liverpool and Manchester; its Capital is to consist
of £40,000, iu 4,000 Shares of £lO each. A Meeting of the
Shareholders will be called immediately after the allotment
takes place, of which those concerned will be informed, and the
Scrip granted on payment of One Shilling per Share. Calls.to
be made as follows:—£1 in fourteen days atter the appointment
of Directors; future Calls not to exceed £1 per Share.
The allotment will be made on or before the 9th of May, or
sooner if 1,500 Shares be applied for; and at all Meetings the
holders of Five Shares will hale one vote; of Ten Shares, two
votes; and one additional vote for each Ten additional Shares.
Applications for Shares to be made to Mr. WILLIAM DAG-
GERS, Solicitor, Doran's-lane; to Messrs: Jos. HonGsoN and
Co.. Share Broker, South John-street; or to Mr. MORTIMER.

N.B.—The Provisional Committee deem it necessary dis-
tinctly to announce, that in the allotment of Shares a decided
preference will be' given to those who are in the Trade, or

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
MANCHESTER AND LIVERPOOL LOCOMOTIVE
ENGINE AND MACHINE MANUFACTURING
COMPANY.
CAPITAL, £200,000, TN 20,000 SHARES OF £lO EACH.
Head Ogee; Manchester.

Thomas Harbottle. Esq. Thomas Jarrold, Esq., M.D.

ENGINEER.—LemueI W. Wright, Esq.
BANKERS.—The Bank of Manchester.

riIFIE object of this Company is, to establish a" manufactory
..11. of Patent and other Engines and Ma very, on an ex-
tensive scale, and to connect therewith, tactical school for
the instruction of young men, manifesti the requisite talent,
in the various branches of the mechanical arts; and thereby to
afford ample opportunities for its developement.
No doubt can exist as to the expediency or policy of giving
encouragement to an institution, which, by the application of a
large capital to the concentration of decided talent, and the dif-
fusion of mechanical knowledge, will tend to secure to this im-
portant district, that superiority which has hitherto distinguished
ir, and awakened the rivalry and competition of foreign states.
That the present sources of production are by no means com-
mensurate with the increased demand for machinery, is an ob-
vious and incontrovertible fact, and this alone would seem to
justify the investment of capital in an undertaking, calculated
at least to diminish the inconveniences at present existing; and
which, if not timely provided for, must be productive of serious
disadvantages to the community. This consideration, important
as it is, is however but secondary, when we contemplate the vast
extent of Railways now in progress, and in preparation; and
the acknowledged insufficiency of the present means for sup-
plying them with locomotive engines. By the formation of the
proposed Company, the public and the shareholder must be
equally benefitted. It is based on the solid principle of mutual
advantage. It offers to the capitalist a secure and legitimate
investment,—to men of talent, a large and open field for dis-
play,—to latent genius, a source of practical improvement and
developement,—to the manufacturer, the advantages resulting
from the combination of wealth and skill,—to the proprietors of
railways, the application of the higher branches of mechanical
science under the direction of acknowledged talent, to the spe-
cial consideration of practical improvements in locomotive en-
gines,—and the public will duly estimate its value, as a means
of extending the importance and resources of the country, and
as calculated by improving the character of 'its manufactories,
to-secure those advantages which have immortalized the names
of Watt and Ark wright.
• The Committee have already secured the services of a gen-
tleman well known in the mechanical and scientific world, as
competent to the general superintendance of this great under-
taking, and have also obtained the exclusive privilege of some
valuable patent rights.
It is therefore Proposed,
That a Company be formed, to be entitled, " The Manches-
te.” and Liverpool Locomotive Engine and Machine Manufac-
turing Company," to be incorporated by Charter, pursuant to
the statute of 4th and sth William 4th c. 94.
That the capital of the Company be £200,000, in 20,000
shares of £lO each, in addition to which every Shareholder
shall; on the allotment taking place, pay the sum of ss. per
share, to defray the expenses incidental to the formation of the
Company.
The sum of £1 per share to be paid within one month after
the election of Directors. No •subsequent Call to exceed in
*Mount £1 per share, and two month's notice to be given pre-
vious to the payment of each Call.
That the Directors be chosen by the Shareholders at a pub-
lic meeting, to be convened for that purpose; a Proprietor of
ten shares to have one vote; thirty shares, two votes : sixty
shares, three votes; one hunred shares and upwards, four
votes. Every holder of fifty shares or upwards, to be eligible
as a Director.

The number of Directors not to be less than seven, nor to es,
ceed ten; two to go out annually by rotation, but to be re•

The Directors to be empowered to commence operations as
soon as 10,000 shares are allotted; to rent premises, or to pur-
chase land, and erect the necessary buildings thereon, for the
purposes of this Company, at some convenient place; to engage
and discharge the officers and servants of the Company; to fix
the periods at which Calls shall be made after the second; and
generally to do and perform all such acts, matters, and things,
as shall be deemed expedient for promoting and furthering the
interests of the Company.
Half-yearly accounts to be made out and submitted to the
Shareholders, detailing the liabilities and assets of the Com-
pany,. accompanied by such further report thereon as the Di-
rectors shall think proper.
The head office of the Company to be in Manchester.
