RAILWAY PRO.'ECTS
(From the Times.)
The movement in favour of winding up abortive railway
projects still goes on. This is the great subject now discussed
among all persons connected with the railway interest, and
it is really astonishing to find how universal has become the
desire to see measures adopted which have this object in view.
The sharebrokers of Leeds, following the example of their
neighbours at Liverpool and Glasgow, have passed resolu-
tions calling upon their friends and the public to take imme-
diate steps for the preparation of petitions, requesting mem-
bers of provisional committees of projects that cannot go to
Parliament this session to prepare accounts, lay them before
the shareholders, and at once distribute the funds in their
possession. From all parts of the country communications
received on this question state that the stock exchanges re-
cently established, which were some few months ago the at-
traction of the inhabitants, are now deserted, and the various
securities 'cannot be got rid of without submitting to a vast
depreciation in price. It is known that in the country gene-
rally a great scarcity of money exists among people engaged
in trade, but particularly among the class of shopkeers or re-
tail dealers; while at the same time it is understood that the
provincial bankers constantly receive applications for money,
to relieve the pressure in which this portion of the •commii-
nity find themselves placed. Much of this embarrassment,
without doubt, arises from share transactions, which having
so universally followed, bring a large amount of responsibi-
lity upon parties possessing but limited means. It therefore
behoves the Government to step in and arrest the progress of
railway legislation, which, if persisted in, instead of assisting
the prosperity and developing the resources of the country,
may prove in the end its road to ruin.
The Bankers' Magazine for April says on this subject:—
" We cannot supts'se that Parliament will lee so unmindful
the signs of the times as to pass even a tenth par
te t of the
100,000,001,1. which some prople expect. The greast mis-
fortune which can happen to the directors of
many of the
schemes would be the obtainment of their Bill. It is very
true that 100,000,0001., compared with the whole disposable
capital of the cluntry, is not a sum which it is impossible to
meet. If the whole disposable capital of the country was
laid under a general pro rata assessment to raise even a
larger amount, there cannot be any doubt that in the course
'sf a reasonable interval the object could be accomplished.
Rut the difficulty lies in a different Th„
the construction of rail wsys, so far from being supplied by
tee whole community, are supplied by a very small class of
capitalists and traders. We admit, that such a time of
excitement as last year, the fever of speculation is so great
