This Company MU Incorporated by special Act of Parliament in lvd, and under the powers thus granted, and under a o on. tract made with the Indian cos ernmetit. It originally under took the carrying nut of a scheme of works in Oil/Sa styled "The Orissa Undertaking, - and such has been the rapidity with which the censtruct 101 l of the Mat selected sections has been prosecuted that, at this time, water for the irrigation of at least %0,000 :ores ran be supplied—a rate of progress more rapid end more s:•tisfvetory than has ever yet been attained in India. A large demand for the water has already arisen, and it is clear that the suecc.a of that undertaking Is now beyond a doubt. the • hectors, in 1tµ;1, concluded errangenients for another c•mtrart with the "o cretary of State in Council, whereby the tsompeny were authorised to carry oat a project for applying the waters of the River wnute to the irrigation of the land lying on its western side as far as Chums. and 4-n its eastern side as far as Veins, a general sketch plan and description whereof has been submitted to and approved by the Uovernnients of India and Cenral ; and it is for this project subscriptions for capital are 11.rw -- 'I hi; t,econd undertaking of the romrany has been named "The Behar Undertaking." It Is betaed upon most careful in vestigations and plans made during several years, under corn. mend frosts the Government, by Colonel the kens, and has been sty led •• The :bane Canal Project ," but— anti this Is very im portant—the arrangement of the head works tag been greatly itoprored, and in truth replanted, I v Colonel RundaU, In net ordauce aGA the eminently successful Madras system. By the, improvements, • bkh have received the sanction and ap pr..‘ al of Govenintent, the prospective profits hate been greatly ineretwed. The great value and promising nature of "The Behar Under taking- have, during the last eight or ten year., been so well and fat • nrably disciptsed in England and throughout India, first by the Government and then by the Company's officers, and are n..w so generally known that any statement which the Directors might mid upon the suhjeet would be superfluous they, there tot... limit themselves to an imstirmite that they are satisfied ft presmita a sate, sound. and profitable inve.tntent ; anti unhesi• tat ingly solicit stibaeriptions toward. the requaite capital at the rime time they quote, as confirmatory of their own Judg• inciit. the following: F irstly An extract from a despatch to the Secretary of State in C IL dated lOtb March, lain, recommending that the soane t .mat Project should lie given to a private eempany,which de-pat. h was signed by the late Dad Canning as Oovenior benctil. and by Sir Henry Bartle Erne since Governor of Dom- Pow a Member of the Council of India Y.r,land Sir Cecil limuton afterwards Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal , Gene• rot s:r holtert Napier now c ttttt mantling the fortes in Abyssinia', Saimiel Laing, Eat., M P. : then the Finance Member of Council for India:, and the !lon W.

Governor considera that It 'the m Sei, Canal Project' hold* out tatter prospect. than the Orissa scheme, awl that it would be tztisl for both the East India !ni g:oton Company and for the country if the Conifintij wile to adopt this instead of the other: hut the projectors prefer that ,ervei 'tally selected by them . . . . . ••W.. gave long regard.' tlt's scheme ss nne if other.% in towln lia. Mat private capital should he incited. •• here is this A:haulage in Government Gilds; the initiative in pLo the great works of the country, that they are so placcit before the pub is that they inn be discussed in the light of ho• knoololge and expel - it iice. The only I Irawback t.. ,iiiing this is. the rink of misleading capitalists and raising mistrust of such investments. .• In the present Instance no such risk need be anprehended • for there i. evident throughout Colonel Dickens' Deport a most cones iontious endeavour to :attleipate the mashs.unt cod of the stork. .• Ke th-refute suggest that ouch means should he taken as ninv seem best to you to make known the outline of Colonel loi.A.eits' scheme In .o.tortero where it will be considered w ith a %Ow to laktint up the work, and that you should he o. roared to Inform any capitalists, who nifty offer to do no, of the teims upon whip h the work would be but into their hands. - And secondly. Two paragraphs from a minute recorded by sir 11' I'. tirsitt when lieutenont.bovernor of heatotl. viz ••Tia• magnificent provitice t.f Behar. which amid bentlntirably watered by Captain Dickens' or...jet:W:l canal from the :mane. Tic ‘...ht here os.midleertatuly be :cry much leas ,than at Cuttack ant tile returns may reason:day be expected to lie much more set iire, because we know, as a fart, the value of irrigation in l char. The soil to better, and the natural rainfall In le., by half too On average, and much less certain in Behar than in Cuttack. The cod oalitable crops are not the rain crop, in Behar. and for the most valuable crops there it is found be experience that ex. pen dye well irrigation pays, which has not been proved by expe. rim we to he the general case Ito • •ri . . . ..„ . I venture to recommend this enterprising emnpan). in wh ose rit eett erery person entlitected with India must feel deep inr e . re. t to consider Captain Dickens AI hems of irrigation from the somt.. for which plete plains and estimates are as atilable,stal nothing is wanted hut the money." . . . Adding that Sir P. P. Grant's opinions have been confirmed by many officers of govenina nt thoroughly well qualified to judge, and a have stated ihat the District of Behar has a population doss. and of more commercial and enterprising character than th it of prima, atil already convinced of the value of irrigation. wl slat it possesses a permanent land settlement. The Directors forbear to estimate the probable profits In be ace iced from the Millar undertaking :" they prefer to point, as a guide to a fair judgment upon the matter, to the ascertained r , sults produced by similar undertaking% which have !teen ( . 0111. amp totall attention to the now iincontmverted fact that :ci milar works In India. when properly selei toil, planned, and exceeded. must inevitably yield considerable returns—leaving , stir :if sight the profits to be derived from navigation—indeed, it is iliflicult to conceive how the sale of rut article on absolutely col iii to agriculture and to life. as water is in India, can be others, iss than pniductive of large profits upon capital expended tii its It is necessary, however. to state that In the present case the profits will he derived chiefly from two sources. Firstly. The %ale to the Goveinment of water for irrigation, at a price to he ftxcil. front time to time, by the mutual consent of the Government awl the Conipany, or by arbitrators appointed by each, which price when so Axed, must, according to the rou te:at, represent the fair value of the water to the parties using it. and must be paid by the Government to the Company a gua rantee of great value against lan. secondly. Tolls levied upon all butts and vessels using the navigable water-ways of the Company. and rates and fares for the conveyance of cgoal; and passengers thereon. Irrespealve of three minor, though, u shown by experience, promtsit.it sources. viz. 1 Rent for mill. and factories ehlch may be est:o4lllllft' on the batiks of the serious channels. and supplied with water. power therefrom. The water lower to be thus available will be very large ... The cultivation and gale of timber and other produce raised mom the land of the Company. And, t The pimply of water to the various villages and towns within the vicinity ot the Company's canals for private and pub lic purposes. liy the contract with the Government the Company are en titled to receive and retain all profits from the sale of water for irrigation, until the dividends paid to shareholders shall exceed twenty per cent. upon the total expenditure made, after which the balance of such profits Is to be divided equally between the tiovrrnitient and the Company.

It will remain as a riniiicm *ion of what ma be nroommended in the way of s stamlos; and when supplemested by a farther report In the need which exists in many places for a change in t e opposite direction, it will hereafter supply the materials for a re arrangement of boundaries which shall be based cos some rational principle. In its present form the Barth Mause will simply minister to party exigencies by excluiiing from many of the county constituencies almost the only liberal element which they contain. As such it ought to be strenuously opposed ty every man who calls himself a Sher il. Believing is a compromise, the Tilefiresph has a runes. tion that a select committee might be appointed In all cases in which local feeling or 1 rue ical inoactvenlence appears to militate against the recommendations of the commissioners. Meanwhile, the ether work of legisl►tion would go on unchecked, and the dissolution so eagerly an. ticipated by all would meet with no unseemly impedi ments. The attempt of the opp Won to get rid of the Boun• dary Bill by striking out its most important clause is chi rsotesised by the Standard as a clear breach of good faith. Surely, it says, there are many gentlemen sitting on the opposition benches who will refuse to be dragged through this ditch, and will say, as men of honour, as well as of common sense, " We referred this question of the rearrangement of boundaries to a tribunal, chosen by the whole house, and, whose ability and honesty are both un impeachable; the bill of the government proposes only to give effect to those recommendatiuns, and we shall, therefore, in vindication of our own good faith and the good faith of parliament, give to the government our steady and hearty support." The Pest supports the opposition in obje :flag to this measure, and exhorts them to disregard the fear of a disso lution. The Star thinks it probable that the people may order Mr. Disraeli from office in such scut ts, and with so reso lute a purpose, that not evea the wish to please Lord Derby may be able to overecm 3 the Premier's sense of the propriety of not braving too far the popular anger. FESTIVAL OF THE SONS OF THE CLEINY. The 214th anniversary festival of this corporation was celebrated yesterday with all the usual formalities. In the afternoon divine service was performed in St. Paul's Cathedral, when a large number of distinguished persons were present, amongst whom were the Lord Mayor, the sheriffs, and other civic dignitaries. A sermon appro priate to the occasion was preached by the Very Rev. John Saul Howson, D. D., dean of Chester, and a full choral service assisted, in which the choirs of her Majesty's Chapel Royal, St. Paul's, 1 1' estminsier Abbey, and St. George's Chapel, Windsor, and members of other choirs, numberlag about 200 voices, were engaged, and the effect was of that solemn sod imposing character which those who have been accustomed to attend these festivals can fully appreciated. _ In the the annual banquet took place at Mer chant Taylor's-ball, Threadneedle-street, ander the presi dency of the LORD MAYOR ; and amongst the company were :—The Archbishop of Canterbury, Bishops of Lon don Llandaff, Carlisle ; the Earl of Chichester, Lord Fiawalter, the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs, Hon. and Rev. H. Legge, Sir Roderick 1. Murchison, Sir Henry Holland, Sir Geo. Baker, the Provost of Eton, the Dean of Chester, the Attorney-General, M.P. ; Rev. Canons Blomficld, Jennings, Pilkingtoo, Archdeacon Bickersteth, Revs. Dr. Vivian, Mortimer, and Currey, Sir C. D. Croeley, Alder man Sir R. W. C arden and B. S. Phillips, Messrs. W. H.

Mr. BAKER, the registrar of the corporation, said that the society was now distributing annually in charity 20,0001., whereas a very fewyears ago the amount was only 13,000/. The average number of persons assisted yearly is about 1,300, and of these 712 are widows and aged single daughters. _ _ Other toasts were successively proposed and responded to, and a list of donations and subscriptions was announced amounting iu all to 3,4951., of which sum 1151. was col lected at St. Paul's. and ir2sl. at the dinner. EEPRZI4ENTATION OF EAST WORCESTERNIIIRE.— Yesterday, an address was ileued by Mr. Linden, of Ab berton hall, formerly 6L P. for Worcester, expressing his willingness to come forward as a candidate, " if I thought such was the general desire." He adds :—" I should come forward as the friend of the farmer, and on purely independent principles. I am for representation of the ratepayers in the levying of county rates, and the disposal of them. I am for every measure calculated to diminish local burdens, and for a more equitable apportionment of them ; for the maintenance of the protestant church, on strictly protestant principles, bit in favour of religiou s liberty. lam for strict economy in government expendi ture, and retrenchment in every branch of the public service. What the rate-payers in counties want is some one who will look after their interests, rather than be casting his vote always with this party or that." In conclusion he says if these ideas are in accordance with theirs, his services are at the disposal of the electors. HisePING PKTROLZUM.—A bill to amend the act for the safe keeping of petroleum, which has already passed two readings in the House of Commons without the atten tion of the mercantile community having been sufficiently directed to it, is likely now to encounter a strenuous re sistance, as seeking to impose restrictions alleged to he wholly useless and nnalled toren a trade that is gradually becoming one of the most important in the country. A. deputation )esterdsy waited on Sir James Fergusson at the Home-offioe, consisting of Messrs. T. B. Korea', M.P., John Laird, M.P., Andrew Maris (lise ' lean Maris, and Co.), Thomas Hilton, Wil liam (lame (G. Bowes and Co.), 0. P. John son (Pinchin and Johnson), W. Odium, and A. G. Kemp, with a memorial on the subject, signed by the houses most largely interested. As they are stated by these parties, the leading features of the ease appear to be as follows :—Befined petroleum le always sold in this market as good merchantable oil, and to make it this the petro leum must not ignite under • temperature of 100 deg. Fahrenheit. The bill Sir J. F has intro duced raises the standard from 100 to 110 deg. Fahrenheit, the igniting point to be from the first Sash or inflammable vapour given off, which would be equal to 120 or 126 deg. permanent ignition, and this, it is affirmed, will almost put an end to the petroleum commerce of the United Kingdom, sines, unless it were maned expressly for our consumption, it would be useless to ship cargoes to an English output for orders as they could only go to a °estimate! market. Furthe rmore, it is stated that no accident has ever been traced to reined petroleum, the meirmaption of which has largely intommed, the deliveries in London alone during the winter being from 80,000 to 100,000 gallons weekly, chiefly among the poorer classes. Thee:Wing act of parliament will not allow isms aim 40 gallons of spirit to be stared ia any warehouse near dwelling, and our present standard of ignition for refined petroleum is far above the oontinenial and American markets, where mere than double the qamitit , is stored and consumed. Accordingly, it is contended that the measure is based neither on tU results of experience nor the caleidations of sidenes, and can have no other effects than theirs raisinX as he piles of English mineral oil aa substitute, thus the publis pay higher terms for an inferior article, and ho mfewbg is ether sountrim a brew& of commixes of the possible hwelepment ell width it would be vain at present to form an selhathe.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Wake. as President, for the first time tookpart in the ceremony, which consists in the formal bat thor,u & ls inspection of the wards, and of all the washing departments of the hospital. His royal high ness was et *ducted through the wards by the treasurer, Mr. Foster WI its, accompanied by the almoners and by the menders t f the medical and surgical staff. In the evening Lis Royal Highness, as President of this Institution, occupied the chair at the annual festival, which was held in the great hall of the hos• vital, moording to custom. The guests were about 240 in member, and the Pence was supported right awl 141 by Priem. Christian. Viscount Hamilton, Lord Henry Limos, Lord Alfred Hervey, the Bishop of Oxford, General Knolls, the treasurer of the hospital (Mr. F ol d e r White), Archdema Hale, and Mr. Arthur Ileitis. The company also included several of the aldermen of Lohdon, who are governors of the hospital ex officio ' and many more of the governing body, with th e ph ysicians ead surgeons of the institution, who are all more or less men of eminence in their profession. The Prince arrived at the hospital about half -past 6 o'clock, and shortly before 7 was escorted to his seat in the banqueting hall amid the cheers lof the company. The dinner was served by Kenn. Maples, of the Albion, end was a m t, y reimosti worthy the ressown of their eetablishmeata On the removal of the cloth, grace was said by the " and that done, His 80r.% I. HIOHNZSM, the chairman, said he would give the company a toast in the way in which it bad always been given in that hall &teach anniversary festival, namely, "Church and Queen." (Cheats.) The Queen, he said, took the liveliest interest in the hospitals of the country, and had that day evinced that interest by laying the foun dation stone of the sister hospital of St. Thomas. Her Majesty, be understood, had never visited St. Bartholo- mew's Hospital, but he trusted before lung to induce her to pay it a visit, and to Lave the satisfaction of conduct ing her over the establialnuent. (Hear, hear.) . _ The Bishop f Ox row) responded to the toast, and gave in return," The Prince of Nt ales, the Princess of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family." His royal highness, be said, had so king identified himself with the commu nity, that he was welcomed everywhere, and with the greatest cordiality. (Cheers.) There was something that addressed itself to the feelings of every man when they saw one born to the highest place in this great empire taking his share in mitigating the afflictions and sufferings of others. (Cheers.) it was a tribute to humanity, and as such was most graceful in the heir of a hundred kings. He thought, too, the coming of his royal highness into that hall that night should be welcomed for another reason. It was a tribute to that highest of human sciences which wet' identified with that ancient hospital --s tribute as much to throe who ministered to the relief of suffering as it was to the sufferers themselves. (Cheers.) He (the Bishop of Oxford) honoured that noble profession for all the inestimable benefits it conferred upon mankind, and especially for the calmness, the coolness, the courage, and the tenderness with which it was practised by all its di:. tinguished members. He felt the compliment paid to the start of that great hospital by his royal highness was well bestowed and cordially acknowledged, and he gave as a toast," His Royal Highness the President of that Royal Hospital, the Princess of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family," The toast was drunk with acclamation, and the olkiir sang an appropriate air. The Prince of WAI.E.I said he rose to respond to th., very kind words in which his health tad been proposed, and he could assure the company that it had given Lien more than ordinary pleasure to be president of that hos pital, and to be present there that evening for the first time in taking the chair at one of its auntvenary festi vals. His only regret was that the manifold duties he had to discharge did not admit of his being oftener among them ; but they might rest assured that he took the liveliest interest in the hospital, and the more the treasurer let him know what was going on within its walls the better he should be pleased. He had had opportunities of visiting the hospital, and had always found it in working order, and in a state of the greatest efficiency. The Plincess of \Vales took • lively interest in the institution, and when she was first able to move about after her illness, she accompanied him, and paid a visit to it. (Cheers.) He thanked them once more on behalf of the Print:leas of Wales, the other members of the royal family,and himself for the kind manner in which the toast had been received. _ The tout of " The Army, the Navy, and the Volun• tears " was next given from the chair, his Royal Highness emaciating with it the name of General Knollya on be- half of the army, Lord Henry Lennox on that of the navy, and Alderman Sir William Rom on that of the volunteers. The Prince also took occasion to pay a high compliment to the medical profession in connexion with all three services, speaking, he said, in a place eur• rounded with historic associations extending over a period of 500 years. At this stage the choir, In which Mr. Lawler and Mr. Fielding were conspicuous members, sang one of a choice selection of aim. The Prince of Wabes next said be had to propose the toast of the evening, which was adopting a time. honoured formula, " Prosperity to St. Bartholomew's 110,pital and health and ease to the poor patients," and it gave bim ex • trews pleasure to do so. This hospital, be sail, was one of the largest and most ancient of the metropolitan hospi tal', having been founded in 1.103 by 'Cohere, Minstrel to Henry 1., and who afterwards became prior of the ono mastery of St. Bartholomew the Great. tin the dissolu tion of the monasteries Henry VIII. granted a charter to the hospital, which at that time hail only 100 beds, one pby - sicians, and this. surgeons. Now it had 6.10 beds, 12 phy • sic ian, 12 surgeons, and a small army of lecturers and dressers. He had had some opportunities of going over the hospi tal. That, being a grand day, the wards were all swept clean, and were well ventilated. But the /lime might be said of the institution at any time. He once took the treasurer by surprise on a day in winter, giving him only half an hour's notice, and he found the hospital in the same satisfactory state as he did yesterday, though that was gala day. It was then as clean and well attended to as it appeared to be on great days, and the physicians and surgeons were going about in their daily occupations. But it was oa the occasien of the terrible catastrophe in Clerkenwell that the merits of the institution cause out more conspicuously than perhaps on any other. Almost immediately after the explosion took place as many as forty of the sufferers were well housed in the hospital and had their wounds dressed. He himself went there twice after the explosion, and it would be quite impos sible to find the institution in better working order. Mach, indeed, was due to the unremitting care and atten tion of the treasurer—(cheers)—and as that gentleman is now present he felt a difficulty in saying as much with respect to him, as he should be disposed to do 'if he were absent. He (the Prince) felt pleasure in pay ing a tribute to one of the senior surgeons, Mr. Holden. (Cheers.) They were all well satisfied that the hospital was thoroughly prosperous and satisfactory in every respect, but still there was one thing wanting, and be felt justified in mentioning it once more—namely, a convalescent hospital—(hear, hear)—to which patients who were recovering could resort to recruit their health out of London, and return to their homes as well, or as nearly as well as they were before. If this question were mooted again the governors might feel assured that he would concur with them in every possible way in advocating the establishment of a convalescent hos pital in connection with that of St. Bartholome w . (Cheers.) He felt the greatest pleasure in proposing The Health of the Treasurer," who had many arduous duties to perform, and who bad, moreover, within the last two years, been called to assume the otfiee of treasurer of Christ's Hospital. His double duties mint indeed be onerous, but they might be assured he would not forget his &tat love—St. Bartholomew's HospitaL (A The tout was drunk with great cordiality, and the tree. surer (Mr. FOIST= Weirs) made a suitable acknowledg roent of the compliment, remarking by the way, that he bad been endeavouring to induce the Merchant Taylors' Company to join them in founding a convalescent hospital. He added that, if with that view the Merchant Taylors' Company would advance 40,0001., the governors of Si. Bartholomew would advance other 40,0001., and that would go far to attain the abject in view. His MOTAL Hiounzsa next pee as a toast, "The Medical Staff," emulating with it the name of Dr. Frederick Fans, the senior physician, and that of Mr. I:'aget, the senior surgeon, to the latter of whom the Princepaid a high compliment for the pt services he had rendered the Princess of Wales- dur ingher lad and severe illness. He could never forget the uareoutling attention Mr. Paget had paid the Princess during long aid weary months, and he did not believe the could otherwise have recovere d so rapidly as she bed does. Some other toasts appropeiato to the suasion were given, and the company sowsred about 10 o'clock.
