rpHE COMMITTEE of this RAILWAY have decided
I en winding up the affairs of_the Company.

In announcing this to the Shareholdrs,-(the reasons for
which were fully explained in a general Circular issued on the
9th instant,) the Committee have to express their extreme re-
gret, because the great advantages of this Line are so obvious
and unbounded, that if carriaceautas was intended, is would

provean eminently successfelundertaking.
In deciding on the abaridonn:ent of this Railway, the Com-

,
Committee shall contribute the sum of .4100 each for the same
purpose. They have also made an application (having duly
considered the Equity of such a step,) to those parties to whom
Shares were allotted, on their written application, (but who
have failed to pay the Deposits thereon,) for the payment of ss.
per Share towards the expenses; and they believe that this
very reasonable application will be promptly and honourably

. . .
responded to.
'I beg further to assure the Shareholders, that the Deposits
paid by them shall be returned with as small a proportionate
reduction for Expenses as possible. They intend, as soon as
this appeal to the Aliottees (who have not paid their Deposits)
is ascertained, to call a General Meeting or the Shareholders,
which will be announced by Circular, when a full, and, they
hope, satisfactory exposition of their affairs will be laid before
,the Meeting. 13y order,
