Monday next the l0ln, IS tne ldst uuy III Suo
1scribing to the new stock, as we understand the
matter; but some suppose that the subscriptions
must be returned to the Treasurer at Boston on
that day. To make all sure, we advice subscri
bers to enter the r names as early as Saturday OF
this week-the 18th. AS answers to inquiries,
we state, that each share Of the new stock at
$50 is entitled to the same privileges las for In
s'snce in voting and to the same amount OF
dividends SO any other share which cost either
$50 or 500. In other words, there is no "pre-
ferred stock" in the Company, but the early Ia
korers and the eleventh hour men ore all served
alike. Of course the outsider" as the term
goes, or these who now take stock for the frs,
time, get the same profit on $50 that the origin
al subscriber does on 800. or the subscriber to
the second issue on $50 This is very hard up
on the original subscriber who cannot protect
hims elf by taking his quota ofevery new issue
TO those who can, it is Of no consequence.
There are some 1--WE hope few Of the first class
and as i, is supposed there are stockholders who
either cannot take the new stock at all, or can
not take their full quuta the books are open for
eueru body to subscribe, whether stockholders or
not. If there is no excess Of Subscriptions a
bove $4,000 shares on the 18th, we supp Sc
each subscriber will get the number he asks
If there is an excess, and a distribution j. ne.

has therefore only 10 subscribe, IS the custom i:
for bank stock, and await his fate on the sum
ming up.
The Boston Courier of Saturday says:-
"More than half of the required amount o
