A Large demand f..r the water hag already arisen. aud it is clear that the success .1 that undertaking Is now beyond a doubt. The r 'rectors. in 1804, concluded arrangements for another contract with the Secretary of State in Council, whereby the Company were authorised to carry out a project for applying the waters of the Rh er Same to the irrigation of the land lying on He western side as far as Clittnar. and en its eastern 'tie as far as Patna, a general sketch plan and description whereof has been submitted t• and approved by the Cusernments of India and 1 engal and it is for this project .ulrocriptious fur capital are now invited. This • second undertaking of the Comtany has been named " The Behar Undertaking." It is basted upon most careful hi vestigatiotig and plans made during several years, under com mand Irmo the t:ovemtitent, by Colonel Dickens, and bas been styled ' The .rune Canal Project:' but—and this is very Im portant—the arrangement of the head works ban been greatly improved, and in truth replaimed, by colonel Randall, in acconlence r ith the eminently su. censful )iadras system. By t ie•e improvements • hich have received the sanction and ap proval of Goverwilent, the prospectise pruttts have been greatly in reawd. The great value and promising nature ot "The Behar I:eirler hose, during the last eight or tan years, been so well and favourably discussed in England and throughout India, first by the Goverunient and then by the Company's ottleers, and are now so ger.erally known that any statement which the Directors niight add upon the subject would he superfluous: they, there fore, limit themselves to an assurance that they are satisfied it ;resents a safe. sound, and prontable Investment : and unhesi tatingly solicit subscriptkns towards the requisite capital ; at the same time they quote. as confirmatory of their own judg ment, the following: Firstly. An extract from a despatch to the Secretary of state in Council. dated 10th March, 1862, icconimending that the soane Canal Project should be given to a private compaimwhich despatch was signed by the late Lord Canning as Governor- General. and by Sir Henry Bartle 'rare .since Governor of Bom bay, and now a Member of the council of i n dlain EnglaiscP, Sir Cecil Beadon "afterwards Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal!, Gene ral Sir Robert Napier :now commanding the Wrote in Abyssinia, Samuel Laing, Esq., M.P. then the Finance Member of Council for India., and the Hon. W. Ritchie—being the whole et the Governmental Council, via.: "His Honour the Lieutenant Governor considers that it Ahe (inane Canal Project; holds out better praqiects than the OHM& scheme, and Out it would be good for both the East India Irri gation Company and for the country if the Company were to adopt this ith , temi of the other; but the projectors prefer that originally selected by them. "We have long regarded this schema as one of all others, in India. to which private capital should be invited. "There Is this &Avesta,* In Government taking the initiative planidng the great works of the country, that they are at ylacer) before the rnble that they can be discussed In the light ,I I. wet knowledge and experience. The only drawhack to doing i-. the risk of misleading capital:as and mishit; mistrust of tali inrcrtttlents. . In the present instance no such risk need be apprehended, for thole Is uvi lent throughout t'•dnuel Dickens* Report a most ientious endeavour to antatipate the max Imam oust of the work. 3ie therefore suggest that such meant , should be taken as may seem be,t to you to make known the ()Mhos of Colonel Dickens' scheme In goatees where it will he considered with a ties to taidon.welimeeasisemstilloi vesteliseilstSeewOlesalsd to Inform any capitalists, who may offer to do iso, of the terms upon which the work would be put into their hande." And secendly. Two ppanrraaggrraapphs from a minute recorded by Sir P.P. Grant when Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal, viz.: "The magnificent province of Behar, which weak% be admirably watered by Captain Dickens* projected canal from the Scene. The coat here would certainly be very much less:than at Cuttack', and the returns may reasonably be expected to be much more secure, because we know, as a fact, the valise of irrigation In Behar. The suit is better, and the natural rainfall lv lees by half on so average, and much less certain in Behar than In Cuttark. The moat valuable crops are not the rain crops in Behar. and for the most valtudde crops there it is found by experience that ex pensive well in lotion pays, which has not been proved by expo• Bence to be the general case In twos& " I venture to recommend this enterprising Company. In whose success every person connected with India must feel deep Inte rest, to consider Captain Dickens' scheme of irrigation from the Roane. for which complete plans and estimates are available, and nothing in want e d tut the money." Adding that Sir P. P. Grant's opinions have been confirmed by many officers of government thoroughly well qualified to Judge, and who have stated i hat the District of Itehar has a population denser, and of more commercial and enterprising character than that of Orissa, an I already convinced of the value of irrigation, whilet it possesses a permanent land settlement. The ierectors forbear to estimate the probable profits to be lerived from •• the Itehar undertaking :" they prefer to point, as guide toe fair Judgment upon the matter, to the ascertained results produced by similar undertakings which have been oom• ',hoed, and tot-all attention to the now uncontroverted fact that all similar works In India. when properly selected, planned, and executed, must inevitably yield considerable returns—leaving out of sight the profits to be derived from navination—bideed, it is difficult to conceive how the sale of an article so absolutely essential to agriculture and to life, as water is fn India, can be otherwise than productive of large profits upon capital expended to create Its supply. It is tieeessary, however , to state that In the present case the profits will be derived chiefly from two sources: Firstly. The sale to the Government of water for irrigation, at a price to be fixed, trmn tune to time, by the mutual consent of the bovernmeat said the Company, or by arbitrators appointed !or each. which price, when so fixed. must, according to the con tract, represent the fair value of the water to the parUes using It, and ninst be paid by the (Monument to the Company— a gua rantee of great value against Ingo Secondly. Tolls lerimi upon all boats and vessels using the navigable waterways of the Cotnpany, and rates and faros for the conveyance of comic awl passengers thereon. irreepeetioe of this e minor, though, as shown by experience, Vt.lllhh.g 1.1311 , e1,1fin 1. Rent for mills and factories which slay he established on the batiks of the various channels. and supplied with water power therefrom. The water power to be thus available will be very large. Y. The cultivation anti sale of timherand other produce raised upon the land of the company. And, 3. 'The mpply of water to the various villages and towns within the vicinity of the Company's canals for private and pub lic purposes. Ity the contract with the Government the Company are en title, to receive and retain all pronta from the sale of water for irrigatkoi, until the dividends paid to shareholders shall exceed twenty per cent. upon the total expenditure made, after which the balance of each profits in to be divided equally between the government and the Company. The returns from all other names are to belong to the Company exclusively. The scheme of works to be executed has now been thoroughly Investigated and carefully re-planned on behalf of the Company, and particulars submitted to and improved by the Government. Detailed plans and estimates of the head works on the faine, and rf 10 miles of main canal—that la, 10 miles, proceeding from either able of that structure—have likewise been prepared, and In like manner approved, so that there will be no delay in making preliminary surveys, plan". to. all of which have been effected, and everything made ready for immediate constructive operations—a great adeantege. not possessed heretofore by any other undertaking of a like character, because the realisation of profits has been thus brought so much nearer. The omits/ has been divided Into shares of £lO each, and stock is sums ranging from elm upwards, to suit the convenience of ;asit Is thought many tnav desire to take a definite amount of stock, or to pay up In full. and thus he free at once front all future care about ,alle, and front all future liability. whilst others may prefer to pay a smaller gum &en se a deposit on shares, and pay up the :edible by instalmehts as calls may be made. Some shares have been aliesdy allotted In ladle.. The share capital will be ea/led up alcwly, and so as, with the stock, to maintain an mipenditure at the rate of about 1130.0'0 per annum. CI pet share during, each year will be ample for this.

Last night's settlement, with regard to the Boundary Bill, can only, tl e DaCy Newt observes, be temporary. For a satisfactory adjustment is impondble, save in the redistribution of et a'r. Both the redistribu tion of mate established in the Act of 1867 and the re adjustment of boundaries which is likely to be effected in the measure of 1868 are eisenially make-abift arrange ments. They are relative to each otter. They cat not be permanent. The best that can be said of them is that until they can be change 1 they may be en lured. The compromise proposed yesterday by Mr. Gladstone and accepted by Mr. Disraeli will do somettiag to make these temporary arrangemeots mcre be arable than the original proposals of the Boundary Commi stoners would have left them. In such conjuncture as writ withered, the 7511(3 says, a select committee may fairly be invoked to rescue the house from itself. If the c animism. be impartially mond naiad by the government—aad there is no reams in the world trim itAgegsteet hheheiap.villt airmen, Is the stile of tits opposition—itx recommendations will he seeepted without demur, and the house will gratefully pam from an unpleasant position to the discussion of some other of the measures essentially preliminary to a dissolution. According to the Berald, the great object of the Liberal leader is baffled, and the great object of the government is attained; justice will be done, and the suburban popula tion generally will be transferred from the county to the borough constituencies. The Star, on the other hand, says the Liberal party may be confidently congratulated on having secured an arrange ment under which the case of every aggrieved borough will be fairly and promptly decided upon, not in the spirit of the instructions to the commissioners, hut in a spirt more worthy of the good sense and equity of the House ei Com mons. To the Telegraph last night's debate franishes ar. table example of the spirit in which the house must act. By a union of firmness and conciliation, the Liberia 1 arty have placed the Boundary Bill on the high road to settle. ment ; and, by a union of the same qualities on future oc• cations, they may at once render the session frcitf.4l, and beaten the appeal to the new constitLencies. THE ADORT.--:q nr Trir. ) ,•••dCf Having pointed out what it consider', ineffec'ive as argument and objectionable in spirit and manner of thought in the address of the Irish episcopal bench, the Time adds the remark that the Queen's answer indiostes that it is the desire of the government to make use, in in a way or another, of the commissioners' report as 1. basis for legislation. It is right to say at once that the time for such a compromise has passed away. It is with the nature and not with the magnitude of the Irish estab lishment that we are concerned, and, even thaw& half the bishop!' who have addressed her Majesty should he iiis missed from their sees, the grievance wehid reuinM— abated, indeed, but still a grievance. The address, the Dail! , Nees thinks, might he callad an ordinary political petition, but for the presence of certain peculiarities in which none but the spoilt children of pri• vilege are accustomed to indulge. The bishops place in the foreground of their objections the impiety of alien ating property which has been dedicate!: to sacred uses, and yet the Bishop of Killaloe, a few yew-a since, pub lished an excellent " Life of Duties," is whirl i.O gave several letters of that prelate rejecting altogether this fig ment of a sanctity inherent in church property. Nothing that is unjust can ever be sacred, and they ire the truly profane who pretend that the Almighty will accept a tainted offering. The answer with which the Irish bishops returned from Windsor yesterday was far more constitutional in its spirit than the address they ei-rned thither. WEIGHTS AND YEA SI:REM. In the opinion of the Tinaci there is an Ina/kink pre ponderance of oonaiderationain favour of using our pre sent system of arithmetic and of weights and ukasarea. The advantage of the innovations would he do obtful, the disadvantage certain and serious. The process itself, ac cording to Mr. Cave, would be almost impracticable. About 20 millions of imperial weights anti meas.:Tee would hove to be changed, not to mention oche: mensuree ..nd stan dards. The revolution would gratify a few philosopher', and tend to the convenience of m. very few grout mer chants. Into the wide ranks and countless household/ of the peoplx it would carry confusion, annoyancx, ;Ind los , . complicating and obscuring every trunkvAlon of d..;13 , life. The Post would allow Mr. Ewart and On frieba, to enact their bill on the condition that nobody who didn't like should be bound to obey it. one little possible merit in the bill is that it may lead to oar discovering what a metre is, for the most expert of our scientific men b.. ye hitherto been unable to express its exact length. THE. DUBLIN CORPORATE A DDIF.E4. TP TRE QuEmv.—lt will be seen from the " Court Circular' . that yesterday afternoon Mr. W. Carroll, Lord Mayor of Dublin, and several members of the Corporation, arrived at Windsor Castle, and presented an address la. the Queen in reference to the recent attempt on the life of the t)uke of Edinburgh, and that her Mr...lndy graciously conferred the honour of knighthood upon the Lord Mayor at the close of the proceedings. The following is the reply of her blejesty to the address:— " The loyalty and devotion to my family and person et • pressed by you on the late attempt to assassinate my dear son, the Duke of Edinburgh, is very gratifying to my feelings. I thank you for your sympathy on the amtiety naturally felt by me on men intelligence, and 1 trort that your wishes for the Duke of Edinburgh's return tome in health and strength may soon be fulfilled." TEX LATE LORD BROViaIIANI. .4 meeting of the council of the Social &lance Association, to dispose of various matters of business was held yesterday. The Earl of Shaftesbury presided, and among those present were the Lord Chief Baron, HOE. George DOO.OAD, M.P., Sir James Kay tihuttlewortb, Sir Baldwin Leighton, Sir J. Eardley Wilmot, Mr. Lefevre, M.P.. !lir. Pollard- Urquhart, M.P., Dr. Farr, Dr. 16reenhow, de. After the minutes of the previous meeting had been read and signed, the Lord Chief Baron moved the following resolution : " That the council, before proceeding to the business on their notice-paper, desire, on this, the trrt occa sion of their meeting after the death of Lord Brougham, to record once more their profound sense, not only of the services rendered by weir late illustrious president to the Law Amendment Society and the Social Science Association,!but also of his now ralleled exertions, commenced more than halt t. century since, in support of the great oJjecte which those bodies were subsequently established to promote." In moving this resolution, Sir Fitzroy Kelly expressed his sense of the devotion of Lord Brougham, the devotion of his time, labour, learning, and genius, to the good of his fellow-men objects. He alluded, with much emotion, to the regret felt by others se well ad himself that so great a man should rest in a foreign grave; and he frosted that it was net yet too late to make some representation to the highest authority in the land in favour of the removal of his remains to a more fitting resting-place. He was labouring under an indisposition which had compelled him for some days to forego his judicial duties, and which I made it difficult for him to speak, but he must have been struck dumb to have prevented him r.u9ing his voice in favour of the resolution which had beta placed in his hand. Mr. Denman, Q.C., M.P., seconded the motion. Mr. flutings bore testimony to the constant, zealous, aid earnest work, oftwhich be had probably sees More Sea say other member, given by Lord Brougham to the Lew Amendment Society for more than twenty years, sad sub eequently to the association.

T,) tat.sr GRACIOU4 MAJERTI THE WHIN. May itpleeae y aur Majesty,— We, the archbishops and bisthaps of the Malt pmvtooss of the united church of Lad and Ireland, beg leave to approach your Majesty oath the eaprosEa of our profound reverence for your Majesty's aloe and person. Haring reelect to the one sod to the other, we hs.ve.the strongest confidence that nothing which affects the. in terests and well-heieg of the Irish branch of our united church can be other than of liveliest concern to your Majesty. We beg leave to represent to your Majesty, that mea surers are now threatened which affect these so deeply, lime we cannot believe we have exceeded our duty, or mingled in matters which are outside our province, when we have claimed the privilege of being permitted to lay before your Majesty some' of the injurious consequences with ethical; in our nmement, such measures will be followed, and same of the injustices which they will inevitably involve. It is now proposed for ever to alienate property which his, from time immemorial, been dedicated to sacred a. We believe that there Is no more precious arrsngsArnt then that by which some portion of a nation's wealth- is, with the nation's unction, and under its guardianship, separated off for ever from private possession and ootnifion or profane uses, sod, to the sad that it may be the more solemnly ses apart be Mee esevise of tied ; thevelerseat of it being linked, not me i r i etl2 the perfoi mauve of the ordina r y duties of a citizen.but with the obligation of setting forth that divine knowieske hy which alone men are made capable of fulfilling their higher d u tiesin this life or brought into any mee tnese for ano ther. ' , nob it sacred fund exists in Ireland at present. Wben we see it in danger of being dissipated for ever, we meet needs protest us tut such a step, in the name of Aar church which we believe to be the rightful administratee of it, and in the interests of the nation which would thus tht'ow away in a moment the cherished inheritance of centurt_e, which, once gone, could never be recovered or replaced.• Nor are the looses with which we are threatened material only. We cannot but call to mind, with thankfulims, that in this church of ours, as now constituted, 31 our Majesty is, under Christ, in all oases ecclesiastical and mil. supreme. In the destiuctiou of the national character of our church, with which we are now threatened. iu the severing or the ties which bind it to the state and the state to it. in the disappesranceof the royal supremacy whith thereupon must follow, an important safeguard- of the reformed faith and of many precious rights will be overthrown. Yrna Majesty will not merely be deprived of a bright jewel in your crown. but will see very muck of that influence and authority which now are ours, who render no divided allegiance, transferred to another church which can never be truly national—tiuding, al' it does. its ountre outside the nation, and submitting to the jurisdiction, which it must recognise as feu - amount to au/ other. of a foreign potentate or prince. And. in this view, we humbly submit to your Majeetv that the enjoyment by our church, under the royal satire mach, of the temporal emoluments and dignities attached to the establishment, cannot fairly be deemed a grievance by those whose principles prevent them from ful filling the conditions on whi:h alone such emoluments and dignities can be enjoyed, consistently with the constitution of these realms. Them are further lineal/I' fe with which this measurimm pears to us to be fraught. It is proposed as a healing measure. We believe that it will open new (minted* of bitterns in this land, while it will close none of thelold. It is proposed us a measure which will hind England 'sad Ireland in closer union. So far from this, we fear that it will discourage those in this country who. sinoerelk at tached to the English connection, have hitherto fondfl in it the street pledge for the maintenance of their own liberties and righw ; while it will not win hack the lo*lty of ote amongst those who desire and labour for the drsm. lune» of the connection. Indeed, they who have emelteu out moat plainly have candidly avowed that the mule t alon of our establishment is nth cipeilly desired by them as piaiwinary t., other aims and remoter purpmes, to which they expect that It will pave the way. 1 We beg lease to bring before your Majesty some of the in!uetices which will be inseparable from such a disendbw meet of our church as lately has been propos, d. the pledge. indeed, is offered to no that all rested interstate shall be respected. It would be little if they were but we venture to affirm that in such a catastrophe this, even with the most honourable intention., would be (im possible. In our own cases, and those of a few other of the clergy, It might be done. But there are investments in just hope as well as in actual possession ; and the lenie nce which would 'oe inflicted on multitude., of one brethren would be extreme- upon all those who at this time are i es numbly looking forward to some modest reward of long and ill-requited Labours in the pest, hut who would thus find themselves for ever cut off front thi m and front every expectation of it. But there are ether vested rights and interests besides those mmf time clergy. Our poorer protestant brethren who hare established themselves in every pert of the emeriti, and this in the fah of the maintenance of the present settlement of things—they, too, have a vested !i4ht, fee themselves and for their children, in that nunistay of Christ's word atid sacraments &molding to the order of oar :eformed church which hitherto they have so freely enjoyed. And if we urge their case rather than that of the licher portior. of our people, it is not because tho rights and Interests of the latter are less clearly involved, but only that sacrifices are possible on their part which may enable them in same sort to make good for them selves the loss they will have endured. We »AAA, indeed. regard the spiritual condition to which !deny of the poorer members of our church, thinly »tattered ha remote districts. end far from the aid of their »cher brethren, will be reduced without the deepest anxiety and alarm. The witness of our church for Christ, in Ills offices ' which no man may usurp, in his rnediatorial dignity, with which no creature may interfere, — this, God helpiug, our church shall maintain to the end, and it shall never cease in the land. But the difficulty of bringing' home the means of grace to atome portions of our people, m f ever the parochial system as now existing should be abobehe.l, will be almost impossible to overcome ; and there ie extreme danger, that in one way or another, many of those would be test to us for ever. Some, deprived of • the meson of grace, would emigrate with their families ; but wimp :mat remain to whom this way of recaps would not be open. Too peen to provide the serviaes of a clergyman for themselves, and of a class peculiarly needing the watch ful care of one, tie heads and some of the elder members of the families might continue steadfast in the faith in which they have been brought up, but they wou:d he little able Winstead and train eta. children ; who would, almost inevitably, be absorbed in the masses of the fol lowers of Rome, by whom they are surrounded.
