NEW DOCK PLANS

AT a MEETING of DEPUTATIONS from the MER-
CANTILE ASSOCIATIONS at No. 4, Exchange-
alley, on the 12th of February, 1842,
R. S. HENDERSON, Esq., Chairman,
An application having been made by the direction of the
last Meeting to the Dock Committee requesting that Copies of
the Reports of Messieurs Walker and Cubitt, as to the con-
struction of the New Docks, should be furnishid to this body
for the information of the Associations ancl;the Mercantile
Community generally, and a letter being now read from the
Committee declining such request, but offering the inspection,
for a week, of the documents at the Do* office.
It Was Resolved unanimously,—That ;he inspection offer-
ed is inconvenient, and in no way adelate to the object in
view ; and this Meeting cannot but express their suprise
and disappointment that the Dock Committee should interpose
any difficulty to the acquisition of information on a subject of
such momentous interest to the rate-payers, the bondholders
and the public generally, more especially as it is understood
that the recommendations of one or both of the eminent
engineers above-named differ materially from those of Mr.
Hartley, but which latter are, nevertheless, ordered to be
adopted.
Resolved, also,—Under the foregoing circumstances, and
considering the immense importance of the interests at stake,
nod, therefore, that the best features of all the three plans in
question should be made available, and the infinite and pro-
bably irremediable mischief of any mistake in this respect,
that a Memorial be prepared from the Merchants and Bond-
holders to the Town-council requesting that body so to use
their power over the Dock Committee by the exercise of their
veto, or otherwise, as to obtain thelmmediate publication of
the documents in question for the information of the mercan-
tile community ; and that, in the meantime, the Dock Works
'nay be so continued as not to be inconsistent with the adop-
tion of any improvements which may be ultimately deemed
advisable.'

JOHN NORTH, Secretary.

CAUTION.
HALL'S PATENT STARCH

MR. LAWRENCE HALL deems it a duty to himself
and the Public to guard them against the many spurious
imitations which are daily foisted upon them under the ia-
rious denominations of " Best Patent Starch," " Best White
Patent Starch," " Patent Glazed Starch," " SatiV Faced
Starch," " Superior Patent Starch," &c. &c. Tlabse inva,
riably disappoint consumers, and greatly injure Ifiem by an
inferior article being imposed on them as his yaqlce.
It is a fact well known, that it was a few tears after Mr.
HALL took out a Patent for his invention bebre he brought
the Article to the perfection for general uscao which it has
now attained ; and it is better known still, that all the imi-
tators have utterly failed in making a Starch at all similar or
equal to HALL'S Patent Starch, other makers being ignorant
of his present mode of preparing it; and if such were not
the case, their premises and situation would not be suitable.
Purchasers of Starch are therefore particularly requested not
to be deceived by a spurious article, and they are respectfully
requested to ask for
HALL'S IMPROVED PATENT STARCH.

No other Makers of Starch ever had a Patent for it.
Wholesale Agents J. and R. RAIMES and dinburgh.
Sold, as usual, by all respectable Grocers and Co.,ltalian Ware-
housemen, &c. in the kingdom.
Patent Starch Works, Sandiacre, near Nottingham.
