sons doubting the Vlft'S. or this Medicine, may take a dose in
the Prodrietor's Shop before they parchase. The Proprietor
earnestly recommends a trial of these Dropslo persons afflicted
with the above complaints, but he does mit introduce them as
being an infallible cure (as many do) bu is warranted in assert-
ingffi i
their efficacy from the extensive r I' !: afforded in numerous
cases of the above description. Const itional Coughs of three: vy
four, and more years standing, have been cured in the course
of a week by the use of these Drops. In the Hooping and

violent Consumptive Cough. In Bottles Is. lid., 2s. 9d., ds. fa,

PROSPECTUS OF A
JOINT STOCK BANKING COMPANY,
TO BE CALLED

THE SOUTH LANCASHIRE BANKING COMPANY
Capital 1:300,000, in 50,000 Shares of £lO each.

rp111?, system of Joint Stock Banking is now so generally
JIL. known, that it is needless to enter into any detail of it, in
the short space of a Prospectus.
The Joint Stock Banks hitherto established in Manchester,
have either confined themselves exclusively, oytiearly so, to the
business of the town, 'or have extended the elves in the shape
of District Banks over this and the adjuit • g counties.
Whep it is Considered' hat Manche is surrounded by towns
possessing, individually, immense po ations, actively engaged
in trade and manufactures, each in a great degree dependent
on the other for support, it is at once obvious that a very large
field for the successful operations of Joint. Stock Banking still
remains. The town of Manchester contains a population of
upwards of 250,000; Bolton, 45,209; Oldham, 32,3e1; Roch-
dale, 20,110; Ashton-under-Lyne, 15,222; and Bury, 15,086;
'in the whole, near half a million, and all following tha same
pursuits;, yet it appears most strange that no Joint Stock Bank
has hitherto been established for the purpose of combining ex-
clusively the energies of these towns, comprising as they
.do
the great manufacturing district of South Lancashire :—as thus
might be obtained the security of a Bank whose operations are
confined to a single town, with the benefits and advantages of
the district plan, without adopting the exclusiveness of the one,
or the two extensive ramifications of the other.

That there is ample space for another Joint Stock Bank in
this vast and rapidly increasing district is very clear, when it
is considered that at the present moment there are in successful
operation in Edinburgh alone, (with a population barely one-
third so large as that intended for the sphere of this Irialik,)
fourteen Joint Stock Banks; whet eas, in this part of Soufh
Lancashire, there are as yet only four Joint Stock Banks in
actual, existence; two of which were only established three
years ap;o, and those within two months of each other, yet the
dividends of both have exceeded the most sanguine expecta-
tions, -awl the shares now bear a high premium.
It is intended to establish a Joint Stack Bank fur this Dis-
trict alone, to comprise Bolton, Oldham, Rochdale, Ashtott-
Under-Lyne, and Bury, with a Local Directory, and an appro-
priation of shares according to the amount of their respective
Populations, the business of which will be conducted in that
liheral yet safe Ina-oiler, as to afford the greatest facilites to the
inhabitants,of each town, giving to them the same advantages
with greater security than they could possess by small Banks
established in each. ,

It is there Are proposed—
That a company be'fortned under the foregoing title,
That the Head Bank be at Manchester, that Banks
he established as early as practicable, in Bolton, Oldham.
Rochdale, Ashton-under-Line, and Bury; and agencies in such
other town's as may be desirable, and that the business be that
of a deposit, loan, agency, discount, and circulation Bank.
That the capital of the Company be £500.000, in 50,000
shares of £lO each.

That each person on being admitted a Shareholder-pay One
Shilling per Share towards defraying the Expenses incidental
to the formation of the Company, a sum of £2 10s. per Share
within one month from the appointment of Directors, and the
'further sum of £2 10s. per Share within three mouths after that
time, and the remaining in such manner and at such time as
the Directors may appoint; three months notice of any such
Call to be in every case given.
Twat all the concerns of the Company he under the manage-
ment or the general Board of Directors, but that suhject to its
control the business of its branches be managed by a Board of
Local Directors.

That the Company he con.idered as formed when the Shares
taken amount to 10.030; that a Meeting of Shareholders be then
called, and be held in Manchester, at which the general Board
of Directors, to consist of such number as shall he then agreed
upon. shall be elected, to continue in office one veer.
T►i.it the Shareholders at each Branch anuuafiy appoint their
own Board of Local Directors; and that the number of Direc-
tors at each Board be not less than three nor wore than seven.

That at the first, and all other meetings of Shareholders, each
Shareholder may vote for hiidself, or by another Shareholder
holding his written proxy, and that the Votes be regulated thus:
—lO Shares, one vote; 30 Shares two votes; 70 Shares, three
votes; 100 Shares and upwards, four votes.
That any Shareholder, holding 50 Shares or upwards, be eli-
gible to be elected a General Director, and 30 Shares, a Local
Director.

That, should one-fourth of the paid-up capital be at any time
lost, the Company be thereupon dissolved, unless at a general
meeting of Shareholders, to be convened for that purpose, it be
otherwtse determined.

That so soon as practicable after the appointment of the Ge-
neral Board of Directors, a Deed of Settlement be prepared, to
contain all necessary and proper provisions for the efficient ma-
natrement of the Company, and Security of the Shareholders.
That the names of the Shareholders be not disclosed, until a
return be tiled in the mode required by law.
That the above conditions be subject to revision by the Share-
holders.

Applications for Shares to be addressed to the "PROVISIONAL
COMMITTEE," and left with Mt. DAVID HOLT, Share Broker,
Ducie-place, Exchange, Manchester, from whom printed Forms
of Applications may be had ; or from Mr. THOMAS HOLDEN,
Solicitor, Acres-tiefd, Bolton; Messrs. WarrEncan and BAR-

tained.
