In almost every office of ixust in mercantile or professional avoca-
tions security is require_ The observation applies universally to
the several situations v.ader Government, connected with the collec-
tion of the revenue. In addition, the numerous existing railway,
and other incorpeeated public companies, are imperatively required
by their acts 1 incorporation to take security from their officers;
and when it 'ss considered what an increase there has been, and is
certain sti:l to be in such companies, the amount of security con-
tintially, and from time to time required to be found by private par-
tl,l3, by some means or other, to qualify them to hold situations of
trust, must be immense.
• The insecurity of, and objection to, private suretyship arises from
the difficulty which must always exist of ascertaining with correct-
ness the real solvency of the proposed sureties at the time ; and
even when this fact can be satisfactorily shown then remains the
danger that the bondsmen may not continue solvent. In how many
cases does it not happen that, on defalcation occurring, and on in-
quiriva being made as to the sureties, they are found either to have"
theirsselves become insolvent, or to have died in embarrassed circum-
law-ices, leaving but little, if any, chance to the principal of reaping
any benefit from his supposed security ?
On the other hand, the evil is not less to the applicant far the
situation or the office- Many a man, otherwise well qualified, has
been obliged to forego an advantageous appointment, by not being
able to find seeurity to the-large amount required by the regulations
of theautrticalsw aervioa aralepartotatt ant*,gta*piyilpplication to
11-:ands is, to a tier-Constituted Mind, Painful, 'seeing=
cant thereby not Only lays himself under personal obligations, but
subjects his friends •to serious pecuniary liability, without any cor-
responding individual advantage.
The object of the surety Society is to obviate these evils by sub-
stituting the security of a responsible incorporated public company.
In consideration of the payment of a small annual premium, regu-
lated by circumstances, the Society will become responsible for the
fidelity of persons employed in offices of trust, to any extent which
may be agreed upon and stated in the policy, and will thus open to
parties not being perhaps in a situation to obtain private sureties to a
sufficient amount, but otherwise eligible, the opportunity of accepting
valuable appointments of trust.
The advantages to principals are the responsibility of a public
company, with•an ample subscribed capital, obviating the necessity
of personal inquiry into the individual responsibility of proposed sure-
ties, and relieving principals from the possibility of loss by reason of
the insolvency of the private surety.
The Directors will exercise all needful precautions in entering into
contracts. The ordinary minimum rate of premium will be fixed ;
but special cases will be made the subject of a distinct contract, at an
agreed rate. At the end of three years the experience of the Society
will be examined, and, if found practicable, the premiums on all
existing policies of three years' standing will be reduced ; so that
those assurers who have not exposed the Society to loss may reap
the benefit of their established character.
Parties, or their representatives, under personal liability, by bond or
otherwise, for the fidelity of relatives or friends, may be indemnified,
or entirely relieved from responsibility, by contract with this
Society.
The capital requisite to enable the Society to avail itself of the
advantages of incorporation under the recent Joint-Stock Companies'
Act having been subscribed for, the Directors are proceeding with all
dispatch to complete the Registration of the Company, and will be
ready to receive proposals on the first of January next.
The capital is required as satisfaction to the public, but, as in Life
Assurance, the assurers' premiums rapidly form a capital; the
Directors, therefore, will at present only require the first call of 1/.
par Share, reserving, however, the right of making further calls,
should they hereafter deem it desirable. Interest, at the rate of five
pounds per sent. will be paid on the capital; the profits will be as-
certained
by the experience of the office at the expiration of every
three years.
The remaining shares will be allotted at the discretion of the ,1
Directors, to parties in mercantile pursuits, er the pdellaervice, and
who are personally known.to the Trios ctors, or whose ap-
plications are certified by a banker'ornpp All applications to be

ENGINETIRS.
John Hawkshaw, Esq. I Edward Woods, Esq,

This railway is designed to connect, by the shortest practicable
route, the port of Liverpool with Preston and other places to the
northward, and with Blackburn and other places to the eastward,
and to supply Manchester, Wigan, Bolton, Oldham, Stockport, and
other manufacturing districts in Lancashire, and the West Riding of
Yorkshire, the advantage of direct railway communication with
Southport and the west coast of Lancashire.
One portion of this railway will diverge from the present line of
the North Union Railway at or near Farrington, and by forming a
communication with the Blackburn and Preston Railway there, will
accommodate the traffic both of Preston and Blackburn, and the
places beyond. From Farrington it will proceed by Ormskirk, and
thence past Kirby (where it will form a junction with the Liver-
pool and Bury Railway), and terminate at the intended new sta-
tion of the Grand Junction Railway Company at Edge-hill, Liver-
pool, from whence there will be access to the north and south
docks, as well as to the Lime-street station in that town. This
portion of the main line will be twenty-four miles in length, and
will bring Liverpool within twenty-seven miles of Preston, and
thirty-three miles cf Blackburn. Another portion of the under-
taking
will consist of a trunk line from Southport, passing St. John's,
in the village of Burscough, near which it will intersect and form a
junction with the line from Farrington to Liverpool, and proceed
thence through the Douglas Valley to Wigan, where it will avail
itself of the North Union station in passing through the town, pro-
ceeding thence by Hindley, Atherton, Tyldesley, Ellenbrook, and
Worsley, it will form a junction with the Liverpool and Manchester
Railway near Eccles, and with the Manchester, Bolton, and Bury
Railway in Pendleton.
By means of a junction with the Bolton and Leigh Railway at
Atherton, the advantages of this line will be extended to the town of
Leigh. The length of this trunk will be about twenty-eight miles of
new line, bringing Southport within thirty-three miles of Manchester,
sixteen-and-a-half of Wigan, and twenty-six of Bolton, and reduc-
ing the time occupied in the journey between Southport and Man-
chester from four hours to little more than one, and between that
favourite watering-place and other manufacturing districts in like
proportion; at the same time substituting for a dilatory and expensive
means of transport, the dispatch and economy of a thorough railway
communication.

THE CORDIAL BALM OF ZEYLANICA ; or, Nature's Grand

ache, weakness, heaviness, and lowness of spirits, dimness of sight,
nervous debility, irregularity, and weakness. Sold in bottles, price

every disease in both sexes, including secondary symptoms, and all
external diseases of the skin, without hindrance to business. Sold

detail of cases is necessary.
Messrs. BRODIE and CO. are in daily attendance for Consultation
at their residence, 27, Montagu-street, Russell-square (near the
British Museum), London, from 11 in the morning till 8 in the even-
ing, and on Sundays from 11 till 2. Only one personal visit is re-
quired to effecs a permanent cure.

The line between Wigan and Manchester will pass through a popu-
lous district, possessing extensive manufactures ; and the coal-field
it will traverse and lay open to the manufacturing districts, as well
as to Liverpool, is second to none in this part of England in richness
and variety.

This raiiwa:, will also afford increased facilities for conveying the
produce of the abundant agricultural district, lying between the
River Alt and the Douglas, to the manufacturing communities of
Lancashire and Yorkshire.

Notwithstanding the present uncertain, dilatory, and expensive
means of access to Southport, the numbers resorting thither are very
great, and rapidly increasing, and it cannot be doubted that the faci-
lities and economy in time, as well as money, of a direct railway
communication, would give rise to an accession of traffic far exceed-
ing the ordinary ratio of estimated increase.
The benefits resulting from the construction of these lines will be
obtained at a comparatively small outlay. The conatry throughout
is easy, and of a level character, rendering the works light, and the
gradients highly favourable. There are no engineering difficulties,
and the ad-vantage of terminal stations, and access to and through
the principal towns, are already provided by the establishments of
the Grand Junction, Manchester and Leeds, North Union, and Liver-
pool and Bury Companies, whose cordial es-operation is guaranteed
by the participation of those Companies in the capital, and conse-
quently in the success, of the undertaking.
