pany consists in the admission of every member to participate in the
surplus he has assisted to create.

possess the most ample security arising from the large accumulations
of the Company invested in the Government funds, and the unlimited
responsibility of its proprietary.

RIES, AND CREWE RAILWAY.
The Committee of Management, in cons,quence of the resold !Von
of the Congi eton and C rewe Company, at their meeting held on thel 14th
in-taut, to abandon their line, deem it desirable to apprise 'their
shareholders, by advertisement, previous to the meeting on FRIDAY
next, the 22d instant, that in case the scripholders should deter ioaine
to carry on their line, 'he Directors think it advisable and are pre-
pared to abandon the projected branch to Congleton, and they have
therefore applied to Mr. Vignoles, their engineer, for a minute ; and
detailed estimate of the cost of the main line from Buxton to Stoke.
Mr. Vignolcs assures the Committee that the line can be mad le for
som.thing les than 600,0001. ; and on that outlay *ere is Batista. t •tory
reason to believe that a very ample dividend will be realised.
It will not be necessary, in order to comply with the standing
ordevs of the IP use of Lords, to make a call, as the Accoun 'ant-
General already holds a sufficient amount of the shareholders' money
for that purpose. Ihe Bill having been referred to the Comet ttee
on Unonposed Bills, has no ditlicuLy to encounter, and may be con.
sidered virtually obtained.
The shareholders of the North Staffordshire, Manchester, Bu Icton,
Matlock, and Ambergate Railways, of which this will he the con-
necting link, having unanimously consented to prosecute their Bills,
and the almost certainty of their obtaining the wined, n of the I :egis-
lature, render the Sheffield, Buxton, Leek, Potteries, and C Crewe
Railway of considerable importance in facilitating, by an imn sense
saving of time and distance, the transit of passengers and men than-
dice from the eastern to the western parts of England, as well a al for
the conveyance of the Irish traffic to the ports of Hull and Gri I lab},
for exportation to the Continent of Europe.
Under these circumstances, the Committee will deem it expe ilient
to reduce the amount or number of the shares ; and as the fun c's in
hand on obtaining the Bill would be sufficient to carry on the v corks
for a considerable period, it is not probable the Committee wou hi be
required to make a call until after a meeting of shareholders, Ito be
held in January next in pursuance of an Act of Parliament.
