                     REMOVAL OF SECURITIES FROM REGISTRATION

         Pursuant to  Registration  Statement No.  33-27598  (the  "Registration
Statement"),  in  March  1989  Alleghany  Corporation  ("Alleghany")  registered
100,000 shares of its common stock, par value $1.00 per share ("Common  Stock"),
to be offered under the Chicago Title and Trust Company Stock  Purchase Plan for
Key Employees (the "Plan").  Post-Effective  Amendment No. 1 to the Registration
Statement  was filed to reflect the fact that the Plan was subsumed  under,  and
formed a part of, the Chicago Title and Trust Company Performance Unit Incentive
Plan  (the   "Performance  Unit  Incentive  Plan").  As  of  the  date  of  this
Post-Effective  Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement,  23,873 shares of
Common  Stock have been  offered and sold  pursuant to the Plan and  pursuant to
that part of the Performance  Unit Incentive Plan that  constitutes the Plan. No
further  shares of Common  Stock  will be  offered  under  that  portion  of the
Performance Unit Incentive Plan that constitutes the Plan.  Accordingly,  76,127
shares of Common Stock are hereby removed from registration.
