Last year , £ n this country , the agent of the company , stated that M . de Lesseps did not come to England for money , that the necessary amount had been reserved for the various countries in Europe , and that if England did not take the share reserved for her it -would not prevent the work from being carried into execution , Sffhese representations , it is asserted , will soon be verified , and the various countries interested « re said to have agreed to assist in producing the 8 , 000 , 000 ?* required ; leaving a portion reserved for England of 1 , 600 , 000 ? ., which capital is to be represented by 400 , 000 shares of 201 . each .
