The circumstances under which subscriptions are now invited by this Company, to a further issue of capital, are peculiarly favourable for investors, and present the strongest evidence of the sound and profitable character of the undertaking, to complete which an additional outlay is required. This work, known as " The Orissa Undertaking." con sists of a very extensive scheme for irrigatibn and nevi nnegth districts, e go : ; snte en e rk m iol Orissa and n h e engineer, r the a r k n s d a n i having w ief tracing an area much larger in extent than England and navi gation i t a i i: o e n tsii_ t 6 h ut h r t o eh u throughout ei chief: f r fully designed on, behalf of the Cotnpany by Colonel Run f Bengini, and. the genera l plan has received the.approval of Government, Whilst detailed plans of nearly the whole of the• various sections into which it is divisible have been _prepared_. From the entirej sc heme there have been selected for first eonitreetien certain seetions, consisting of head works (that is, stone 'weirs orateicnts) across the rivers Matta nuddy, Beropa,B ra h n noy,aud Coasye, and five navigable and irrigating canals with their subsidiary channels tra versing the country, thereby commanded, viz.,. 1. The Kendrapara Canal with its branch extending from the populous city of Cuttack to the harbours of False Point and Dhamrah in the Bay of Bengal. 2. The Toldundah Canal, extending from Cuttack to Pooree on the same coast. 3. The High Level Canal from Cuttack to Budruck on the Salundee 'River, being the first portions o f an i n t en d e d canal to connect Cuttack with Calcutta. 4. The Midnapore and Hooghly Canal, extending from the large and important town of Midnapore to the livoghly River, and connecting that town with the port and city of Calcutta, and forming the terminal. portions of the line connecting Cuttack with Calcutta; anti 5. The tidal canal from the river Roopuarain to Balagai, a manufacturing town, and bringing the latter into'communication with Calcutta. When it is knows that the ports of False Point and Dhamrah have been reported by qualified officers to be the finest harbours on the whole of the Indian Coast between Bombay and the llooghly, and that the Kendrapara Canal will not only connect these with the city of Cuttack itself, but by means of the Maha nuddy River, with the vast and fertile upper districts of Chuttesgur, &c., the capabilities of which have been lately most ably and conclusively shown by Sir Richard Temple, now the Finance Minister of India, to be enormous, the vast importance of such a main artery for traffic will be apparent to all. The Midnapore and Hooghly Canal, bringing into connection with each other, as it will, to such import ant places of trade and population as Midnapore and Calcutta, is also manifestly calculated to bs highly profit able. In addition, however, to their great value as means of transit, these two canals are not less promising as main irrigating channels, regarding which more will be said presently. The present state of the works now under construction is as follows : —The expensive masonry weirs and head works require but little additional outlay for their com pletion, and ultimately their cost will be apporzioned over the various channels in course of construction, arid. to be constructed, for the irrigatio n of the land to be first sup plied, and over such additional acreage as may hereafter be provided for. There is now, or will be immediately, opened for navigation a n d supply of irrigation, 1651. miles of main canal, with 31 more miles in progress towards completion. There have also been constructed with masonry works, and capable of supplying wnt r, about 134 miles of main subsidiary chaeuel,, and 791 miles additioual are drawing closely towards completion. The main works thus far executed command about 200,000 acre; requiring only the addition of some of the subsidiary channels to apply water to the land. There have been opened, suffi cient for navigation at stated periods, but not continu ously, some portions of the Midnaporo and llooghly Canal : and the tidal canal, and during last year (1867) the tolls collected upon them iu their incomplete state, without locks and with ac commodation for traffic during high tide only, showed signs of gradual and certain increase, the average of the whole year being over .1.50 per mile gross, and of the latter months much higher. The locks required to reader these sections navigable at all times are fast drawing towards completion, and then it is confidently estimated that a v ast increase of traffic will arise. The Kendrapara Canal will, the chief engineer reports, bo opened for navigation to tidal water, and thus to the port of False Point by the end of this year. As they are now planned, and being constructed, the five canals above -named will, when completed according to the estimates of many engineers most competent to judge, including Colonel Rundall and the present chief engineer of the Company, convey water for the Irrigation of about 700,000 acres. At the outset the Company, with the sanction of the Government of India, fixed the rate to be paid fora supply of its water at three rupees per acre for one crop, or five rupees per acre for two crops, which charges were ad mitted by all to be vary moderate towards the cultivators, and capable of being increased thereafter; but it was found, as a measure of policy, advisable that a temporary reduction should be made, in order that the native culti vators might be induced to take the water, and so to be come aware of the great benefits which they would inevi tably receive from the Irrig Lion of their lead, and which would, it was known, be such as to render a speedy return to the original rates a matter of certainty without i creating dissatisfaction. Adopting the reduced rate of charge for irrigation, and estimating the returns from navigation at the very mode rate total of three per cent. upon the outlay (the present chief engineer has just reported that he estimates the re turns upon the Tidal Canal will be at least ten par cent.), and allowing the high charge of five per cent. for repairs, maintenance, establishment, &c., the net returns from the sections now to be completed would bo altogether twelve Per cent. , which, by th e re - es t a bli s hment of the original rate of five rupees p er acre for irrigat i on, wou ld be mad e up to twenty-one p er cent, net. These are figures the accuracy of which can be easily demonstrated, and any inquiry made regarding them at the Company's offices will be at once replied to, and every information given. The prospect of an immediate and extensive spread of irrigation, and therefore of a satisfactory increase upon the existing returns, is hi g hly encouraging. For soma little time the natives, i gnorant o f t h e va l ue o f irrigatio n , and fearing an increase of th e L an d A ssessme nt, a bstain e d from taking the Company' s water, but the renewal by Government of the existing La u d S e ttl emen t f o r a further period of 30 years, the judicious t em p orar y r e duction of water rate and other measures' such as the employment by the Company of some of the Zomindars, Jai., have dis persed these impediments, and each succeeding recent nithineir lands ; and by reports mail has brought intelligence evicidtternecianegdaß practical ye ts te seerteguerre e Kendrapara Canal alone, leases month, and dated the bad then been signed, 3it n . tho e cet s ohs immediate tve o ltem n dae doc the hnia: p t el l e t erlt appears sr i o da f no b tf o i etthhe that h Z ea ft there present connected with th (prin cipally for 3 years) for about 26,000 acres ; that applica tions from cultivators of' laud under the same canal were being received at the rate of from 2,000 to 5,000 acres daily ; and that the natives were cutting the smaller channels necessary to c onv ey the water to their fields with earnestness ; further , that in the vicinity of the high level canal meetings were bein g h e ld b y the Zemin- Signs exhibited teat state off a ff a i rs th ere as that Connected with the Rendra.para Canal was a mere matter of a short time , and that before the coming the same an d o f t e h v er eer u a n b r e ist a kable season large demands will be made for water. Upon the Midnapore Canal the effect of the reduction of the water rate, Zee., had not, at the end of March, been thoroughly ascertained, b ecause the irrigating p or ti on o f t h a t cana l had been closed for some time previous for constru c ti on purposes, and had then only been reopened, but the chief engineer of the Companyand the e xecu ti ve eng i neer i n charge reported that applications for w a t er , i n a dditi on t o the 4,000 acres supplied last year, had commenced and wore confidently expected to be added to largely. From the foregoing it may fairly be assumed that the works already constructed have . now entered upon their stage of revenue, an d that they offer t o cap it a li s t s no t on l y a safe investment, but one which will, most assuredly, be very profitable ere long; and here it may be added, as confirmatory of this almost immediate prospect, that the t c h u e te l d v , a t c e o r n , w portions of the works now in hand remaining to be exe cuted, ugnisinof channels f or th e di str ib ut i on o f necessarily be the easiest of construction, as well as the most productive, and will add materially to the percentage of returns on the whole outlay. It is important to add-here that the profits mentioned in this prospectus have been estimated upon the whole of the capital expended and now to be raised by the Company, although in the event of the entire scheme of works being hereafter carried out, of which there can be little doubt seeing its promising character, much of that expenditure will have to be taken from off the present works and charged to the other sections when undertaken. There is also another feature of great importance, which must not be omitted in the consideration of the fitness of this undertaking for an investment. By the contract it is expressly provided that the ilompany shall be paid for the water supplied for irrigation to the cultivators—not by the cultivators themselves—but by. the Government of India;' and that the price to be eo paid by the Government to the RECOMMENDED by the GOVERNMENT of INDIA, thus : —" We have long regarded this great scheme (the BEIIAR UNDERTAKING) as one of all others in India to which PRIVATE CAPITAL should be IN VITED."

PROSPECTUS. This Company was incorporated by special act of Par liament in 1861, and under the powers t hu s granted, and under a contract made with the Indian Government, it originally undertook the carrying out of a scheme of works in Orissa, styled "The Orissa Undertaking ;" and such has been the rapidity with which the construction of the first selected sections has been prosecuted that, at this time, water for the irrigation of at least 200,000 acres can be supplied, a rate of progress more rapid and more satis factory than has ever yet been attained in India. A large demand for the water has already arisen, and it is clear that the success of that undertaking is now beyond a doubt. another The D conti ree r t a o o rs, t w t i t% n I t B h 6 B 4, s c eo o r e e c t l a u ry ded of a s r t r a a te ng i e n m , u a o t o s ne f o u r , whereby the Company were authorised to ca rr y out a pro ject for applying the waters of the River Soane to the irrigation of the land lying on its western side as far as Chunar, and on its eastern side as far as Patna, a general sketch plan and description whereof has been submitted to and approved by the Governments of India and Bengal; and it is for this project subscriptions for capital are now invited. This second undertaking of the Company has been named "The Behar Undertaking." It is based upon most careful investigations and plans made during several years, under command from the Uovernmout, by Colonel Dickens, and has bawl styled " The Soane Canal Project;" but—and this is very important —the arrangement of the head works his been greatly improved, and in truth re planned, by Colonel Rundall, in accordance with the emi nently successful Madras system. By these improvements, which have received the sanction and approval of Govern ment, the prospective profits have been greatly increased. The greet value and promising nature of " The B •har Undertaking" have, during the last eight or ten years, tt hhbeenei.ocu.; Comp n ‘ t . y l ,sn anddoiffi, favourablyefii.rs,st and biiyd at triee I d k i o s w cus s s e o e d n by discussed in Government t, iralnfilyhtt known,hn that any statement which the Directors might add upon the subject wou'd be superfluous ; they, therefore, limit themselves to au assurance that they are satisfied it pre sents a safe, sound, and pr )fitable investment; and, unhe sitatingly, solicit subscriptions towards the requisite capital; at the same time they quote, as confirmatory of their own judgment, the following; . Firstly. An extract from a d espatch to the Secr3tary of State in Council, dated 10th March, 186 4 , recommending the Soane Canal project should b e given - to a private com pany, which despatch was sig ne d b y the late Lord Can ning as Governor-General, and b y Si r H enry Bartle F rere (since Governor of Bombay and now a member of the Council of India in England), Sir Cecil Beadon (after wards Lieut.-Governor of Bengal), General Sir Ribert Napier (now commanding the forces in Abyssinia), Samuel Laing, Esq., M.P. (then Finance Member of Council for India), and the Hun. W. Ritchie, being the whole of the Governmental Council, viz.:— " His Honour the Lieu enant-Governor considers that it (the Soane Canal project) holds out better prospects than the Orissa scheme, and that it would be good for both the East India Irrigation Company and for the coun try if the Company were to adopt this instead of the other ; but the projectors prefer that originally selected by them. " We have long regarded this scheme as one of all others in India to which private capital should be invited. " There is this advantage in Gov run - lent taking the initiative in planning the great works of the country, that they are so placed before the public that they can be dis cussed in the light of local knowledge and experience. The only drawback to doing this is the risk of misleading capitalists and raising mistrust of such investments. *" In the present instance no such risk need bn appre hended, for there is evident throughout Colonel Dickens' report a most conscientious endeavour to anticipate the tuaxinytin cost of the work. " We therefore suggest that such means should be taken as may seem best to you to make known the outline of Colonel Dickens' scheme in quarters where it will be con sidered with a view to taking up the wdr:r, and that you should be prepared to inform any capitalists, who may offer to do so, of the terms upon which the work w uld be put into their hands." And secondly. Two paragraphs from a minute recordel by Sir P. P. Grant when Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal, viz.:- " The magnificent province of Behar which would be admirably watered by Captain Dickens' projected canal from the Soane. The cost here would certainly bo very much less (than at Cuttack), and the returns may rea sonably be expected to be much more secure, because wo know, as a fact, the value of irrigation in Behar. The soil is better and the natural rainfall is less by half on an ave rage, and much lass certain in Behar than in Cuttack. The most valuable crops are not the rain crops in Behar, and for the most valuable crop 3 there it is found by expe rience to be the general case in Orissa. "I venture to recommend this enterprising Company, in whose success every person connected with India must feel deep interest, to consider Captain Dickens' scheme of irrigation from the Soane, for which complete plans and estimates are avail:Cole, and nothing is wanted but the money." Adding that Sir P. P. Grant's opinions have been con firmed by many officers of Government thoroughly well qualified to judge, and who have stated that the district of Behar has a population denser and of a more commercial and enterprising character than that of Orissa, and already convinced of the value of irrigation, while it possesses a permanent land settlement. The Directors forbear to estimate the probable profits to be derived from " The Behar Undertaking ;" they prefer to point, as a guide to a fair judgment upon the matter, to the ascertained results produced by similar undertakings which have been completed, and to call attention to the now uncontroverted fact that all similar works in India, when properly selected, planned, and executed, must in evitably yield considerable returns—leaving out of sight the profits to be derived from navigation—indeed it is diffi cult to conceive how the sale of an article so absolutely essential to agriculture and to life, as water is in India, can be otherwise than productive of large profits upon ca pital expended to create its supply. It is necessary, 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 irri gation, at a price to be fixed, from time to time, by the mutual consent of the Government and the Company, or by arbitrators appointed by each, which price, when so fixed, must, according to the contract, 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 loss. Secondly. Tolls levied upon all boats and vessels using the navigable water ways of the Company, and rates and fares for the conveyance of goods and passengers thereon. _ _ Irrespective of three minor, though, as shown by expe rience, promising sources, viz.:- 1. Rent for mills and factories which may be established on the banks of the various channels, and supplied with water power therefrom. The water power to be thus available will be very large. 2.. The cultivation and sale of timber and other produce raised upon the land of the Company. And, 3. The sopply of %voter to the various villages and towns within the vicinity of the Company's canals for pri vate and public purposes. By the contract with the Government the Company are entitled to receive and retain all profits from the sale of water for irrigation, until the dividends paid to Shareholders shall exceed 20 per cent. upon the total expenditure made, after which the balance of such profits is to be divided equally between the Government and the Company. The returns from all other sources are to belong to the Com pany exclusively. The scheme of works to be executed has now been thoroughly investigated and carefully re-planned on behalf 'of the Company, and particulars oubmitted - to and-ap- T HE RESCUE .tre as fo] SOCIETY'S HOMES lows : For Pallet 28, Church-row, Hamp stead. 13, Camden-street, Camden town.

Company for such water shall be, the price charged to the cultivators, and shall be fixed so as to repres-nt a fair charge for the water to the parties using it. With refe rence to this stipulation, it has been a,;knowledged by the Government that they alone are liable in respect to the non-payment for water supplied, so that the C nnpany are released from all fear of liability to loss of any portion of their water-rate. The value of the foregoing-arrangement can hardly be too highly prized, forming as it does a cer tain and safe guarantee of payment for every portion of the water sistriked for irrigation. It ha., been determined by the Directors to limit, at any rate for the preamt, the expe n dit ure to a b out £130,1100 per annum, whereby they will be e,,abled t-) make all fu ture calls small in amount and at regular stated periods, not exceeding on the whole ..£2 par share during each year ; at the same time they are enabled by the Act of In corporation to issue the required capital-partly in shares of £lO each, and partly in stock divisible into sums vary ing from .£l.O upwards - a plan which will 'suit tlur con venience of those who desire to limit their liability to a fixed SUM at once, and to be relieved from future calls, a-ul also those who may prefer to pay the amount of capital held by them by easy instalments in the shap3 of calls.

The Town Council of Leeds have had before them various details of the preparations for the Prince of Wales's visit on the 19th inst. The regret felt at the inability of the Princess of Wales to accompany his Royal Highness was freely expressed, and it led to an inquiry whether something could not be done to induce one or more of the Queen's daughters to supply the place of the Princess of Wales. The Mayor said he was not in a position to answer the question. He was in London on the previous day, but he knew nothing more than any other member of the Council. He was not aware that any invitations had been sent to either of the Princesses, unless one had emanated from the executive of the Fine Arts Exhibition. He had not seen any of those gentlemen since Monday morning, when it was first known that the Princess of Wales was not coming, and it was not in his power to give any infor mation. A week ago it was decided to be not expedient that the mayor should proclaim a general holiday on the 19th inst. On Thursday that matter was reconsidered, inasmuch as the Tuesday's market next week had been officially postpone.] already. Mr. Linsley, a councillor, said there was a general desire that the tradesmen should close their shops on Tuesday next, and it was felt that it there could be no such expression of loyalty as was intended. All the shopkeepers were them selves hoping that such would be the case, but they wanted a proclamation from the Mayor to guarantee that there would be a general holiday. The Mayor said he wished to consult the wishes of the town in all that he did, and if the council thought there should be a general holiday, he would announce one. The council unanimously voted that the Mayor should take that step. It was suggested by Alderman George that there should be a slight altera tion in the route of the procession_ to the Exhibition ; but the Mayor said it would be breaking faith with the public to agree to do so, and a strong reason why •to should not be deviated from was that it had been communicated to - caTeral,lCnollys. It was agreed that the spacious flight of steps at the principal entrance to the Town Hall be barricaded on the opening - day, and the right of admission to that enclosed space be - distributed among the members of the corporation. Mr. Harrison, a "councillors, asked if it was contemplated to invite the Sunday Schools of the town and neighbourhood to assemble in the area in front of the Town Hall and sing " Good Bless the Prince of Wales" as the Royal cavalcade passed cn its way to the Exhibition. The Mayor said the subject had not yet been discussed at all by those having charge of the arrangements, but be would take care inunediately to lay it before them. Temple newsam, a fine mansion standing on a noble elevation to the eastward of Leeds, will receive the Prince of Wales as its guest during his forthcoming visit to York shire. It is the property of Mr. Hugo C. Meynell Ingram, who has made costly preparations in anticipation that the Princess would also be a visitor, and has invited a large circle of the aristocracy to accompany the Prince to the Leeds Exhibition. Templenewsam is the " Temple- . stowe" which was the scene of some of the - principal events related in Sir Walter Scott's " Ivanhoe." From 1181 to 1311 it was a preceptory of the Knights Templars, but the old hall was taken down by Sir A. Ingram, who built the present stately house on the site. The noble families of Lennox, Irvine, and Hertford have from time to time been the owners of the place. The Prince of Wales on Monday will travel from London by the Midland Railway, and alight at Woodlesford, a station in a rural district which is nearest to his destination for that day. It is probable that on Tuesday Leeds will be overrun with visitors, should there be " Q ueen ' s weather." The Midland, the Great Northern, the London and North-Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and North-Eastern Companies, all intend to run special and excursion trains on that day. In the streets, of Leeds through which the Royal cortege will pass barri cades are forthwith td be erected, and wherever space is available temporary balconies will be put up by specu lators, whose charges are likely to be reasonable. Win dows of the houses flanking and overlooking the Exhibi tion building have been let, it is said, at from five to seven guineas each, but the contracts were made before it was known that the Princess was not coming. THE SIN OF DANCING t. In the parish of North Knapdale, a district far west in Argyle, washed by the pleasant waters of the Sound of Jura, dwells Mr. Peter Clark. Mr. Clark is a farmer. He is also the head of a family. He also is, or was, a com municant in the Free Church of North Knapdale, under the very earnest, though rather unearthly, pastorate of the Rev. Alexander Ferguson. Mr. Ferguson and the two elders who are associated with him in the spiritual oversight of Free North Knapdale are very strict in their censorship of morals ; and, accordingly, when told, as we are in certain recent proceedings of the Free Synod of Argyle, that Mr. Ferguson and his elders "know nothing against Mr. Peter Clark as a man," we are at once filled with a profound respect for that agriculturist. But it seems that there is a qualification with which this respect must be entertained. To no mortal is i'-. given to be perfect ; and so Mr. P. Clark has a spot on his virtue—a flaw in his character—a hole in his coat. Nothing known against him "as a man," there is but too much known against him " as a communicant." He dances ; he goes to balls. For eight years past at least be has been a victim to this vice. Of the fact there cannot be a doubt. When the Rev. Mr. Ferguson, on bearing the matter averred, made inquiry as to whether such a thing could be, he was informed by one actually " saw him engaged on the dancing floor " that it was so—nay, he discovered that it " was generally known and commented on in those parts." A crisis came, when Mr. Peter Clark's sin began to find him out. In the spring of 1866 he applied to his spiritual superiors for a certificate of church membership. The Kirk Session met in solemn conclave. To certify unreservedly a notorious performer of reels was of course out of the question. Such practices, according to Mr. Ferguson, are not merely "un seemly in a parent and communicant," but they are "a sin and" (we quote with reference) "a bitter provocation to the Lord." The certificate, it was plain, could not he granted " without rebuking such scandal, and seeing proofs of re pentance and reformation." This, however, might have been troublesome, and so a compromise was adopted. Mr. Clark was certified as a communicant, but he was at the same time certified as a dancer. Of course, "in those parts" this was worse than no certificate at all. Accordingly, Mr. Clark offered to "satisfy" the Session, which he did by appearing before them " expressing his regret, and pro mising amendment," and then he got a new certificate, in which all mention of his saltatory offendings was sup pressed. Armed with this document lie might have pre sented himself anywhere, but he was net content. It struck .him that there must be some allusion to the transgression in the Session-books ; and, as he was anxious not to go down to posterity with a brand upon his name, he wrote to his late pastor to have all trace of the matter effaced. This seems to have been regarded as rather an impudent request to be made by a person who had just been forgiven the heinous sin of dancing, and an evasive answer was returned. The indefatigable Clark, however, invoked the Free Presbytery of Inv erary in defence of his reputation, and that body, as well as the Synod afterwards, decided in his favour on a point of form, his success at the same time being rather impaired by the fact that his attempts to bury his guilt in oblivion had proved the means of proclaiming it fully to the world. Meanwhile, the Rev. Mr. Ferguson, who regards the decision of his Presbytery as a " winking at a practice which the Free Church once used to cast as a slur upon other Churches," is resolved to bring up the whole case to the General Assembly, when we shall learn whether, in the religious arrangements of the future, dancing, like endow ment, is to be " an open question."—Scotsman.
