He expressed the opinion of the Government that the adoption of such sug gestions would materially alter the character of the pro posal made by him in the House of Commons. The Government wished the clerical and lay elements should be adequately represented in the governing body, the offices being filled up by a system of free election. In the first place the appointment of all heads of colleges should be subject to the approval of the university governing body. And as to the Chancellor being an ecclesiastic, that would be inconsistent with one of the fundamental principles of such an institution, namely, that such a dignitary should be elected by the university at large. The Cabinet were not prepared to add to the number of the hierarchy on the board, nor could they consent to the future Chancellor being elected by the Senate, and not by Convocation. He ought to be the choice of the whole body of graduates. The six lay members of the Senate should also be elected by Convocation. Lastly, the proposition that the episcopal members of the Senate should possess any power greater than that of their lay colleagues was one which her Majesty's Government could not entertain. To this Dr. Leahy replied on the 16th inst., in the fol lowing curt terms : " My Lord, I have the honour to acknowledge . the receipt of your letter respecting the by ch theang ighesßinyt Rourepv. plan Dr. D of aerryand Catholic myself. Uthv I have. ersity,sug ire., gested PATRICK LEAHY." With this the matter drops. TERRIFIC EARTHQUAKE. IN I'HB A telegram, dated San Francisco, May 7, says : "The barque Comet, from the Sandwich Islands, brings accounts of a terrible volcanic eruption by Mauna Loa, which began its demonstrations on March 27. On the 28th 100 earthquake shocks were felt, and during the two weeks following to April 13, 2,000 earthquake shocks occurred. At Waischina the earth opened in many places, and a tidal wave sixty feet high rose over the tops of the cocoa trees a quarter of a mile inland, sweeping human beings, houses, and everything moveable before it. A terrible shock prostrated churches and houses, and killed minty persons. In all 100 lives were lost, beside a thousand horses and cattle. The craters vomited fire, rock, and lava, and a river of red-hot lava, five or six miles long, flowed to the sea at the rate of ten miles per hour, destroying everything before it, and form ing an island in the sea. A new crater two miles wide opened, and threw rocks and streams of fire a thousand feet into the air, and from it streams of lava rolled to the sea. At one time, the illumination was visible at night fifty miles distant. The lava has pushed out from the shore one mile. At Waischina, three miles from the shore, a conical island rose suddenly, emitting a column of steam and smoke, while the Kono packet was passing, spattering mud on the vessel. The greatest shock occurred on April 2, a great shower of ashes and pumice. During the great shock the swinging motion of the earth was dreadful, so violent that no person could stand. In the midst of this tremendous shock an eruption of red earth poured down the mountain, rushing across the plain three miles in three minutes, and then ceased. Then came the great tidal wave, and then the streams of lava. The villages on the shore were all destroyed by this wave. The earth opened under the sea and reddened the water. The earth eruption swallowed thirty persons, and the sea many more. Dreadful suffering and terror prevailed in the district, and the whole region was affected. The sloop Live Yankee has been despatched with Provisions, &c., to rescue and relieve." THE CHURCH IN THE WEST INDIES AND TIIE CONSOLIDATED FUND.—The text of a bill intended to re- lieve the Consolidated Fund from the charge of the salaries of future bishops, archdeacons, ministers, catechists, and schoolmasters in the West Indies has been published. At the present time the charges upon that fund amount to £14,000 for the bishops and archdeacons, and £6,300 for thel inferior clergy and other persons referred to. The bill now before the House, which was brought in by Mr. Adderley and Mr. Sclater-Booth, provides that no person hereafter to be appointed to any of these several offices shall be paid out of the Consoli dated Fund. It is to be prospective in its operation, and will not interfere with the interests of the existing in cumbencies. In the Ssach Court of Session, Lord Bareaple has decided an important question between two classes of preference shareholders of the Great North of Scotland Railway Company. The Company's Act declares that the dividends attached to the new preference shares at 4i per cent. shall rank parri passu with the dividends on the original 5 per cent. preference shares. This is held by his lordship not to affect the amount of the dividend for which each party ranks ; and that the original preference shareholders have no preference over the new preference shareholders for arrears of dividends in ranking on the free profits of subsequent years. The Lord Ordinary also held that the company could not legally resolve to pay dividends by allotments of capital stock. The judgment is to be carried into the Inner House. THE PRINCE OF WALES AT LEEDS.—Efis Royal Highness retired from the mayor's and Mrs. A. Fairbairn's ball at a quarter-past three on Wednesday morning. He then took a most gracious leave of his host and hostess, and acknowledged with much condescension and cordiality the enjoyment he had derived from their splendid entertainment. The public were admitted to the Town Hall to see the internal arangements which had been made for the mayor's ball, and in everything they recog nised the liberality and good taste which had actuated their mayor's desire , to give the Prince o f W a l es a b eco ming welcome. The Mayor of Leeds has received the following letter from General Knollys :—" Templenewszun, May 20, —My dear sir, I am desired by the Prince of Wales to convey to you his warmest thanks for all your attention to him, and fur the very pleasant evening he passed at the Town Hall, and for the enjoyment of which he feels so much indebted to Mrs. Fairbairn and yourself., be rsa truly acknowledgments yours, o f wut e lir x ieset p : g r t e i \on s \ I s re i .nn n t g iscs if t o o orai, g t tL i hr l ye e esei r: lo p r llue p .. o t r n t corporation O t f b His Royal Highness requests you will be good enough to sincere de his o si , very i at 'e ht —I am, in . y dear! . Andrew Fairbaus, ER., Mayor of Leeds.". . 4 The corresponceiace relative to the pr*sed Cartel ,0 the Irish Roman Catholic University has been published. It commenced on the 23rd of October last, when Archbishop Leahy and Bishop Derry applied to Lord Derby for the charter, having been deputed. by the Roman Catholic hierarchy to do so, and to conduct the negotiations without limit or restriction. The Earl of Mayo simply acknowledged the receipt of the letter, and nothing further was done in the matter during Lord Derby's tenure of office. On March 14, just after Mr. Disraeli had been appointed Prime Minister, Lord Mayo wrote to Dr. Leahy, enclosing a "confidential memorandum." With respect to the Government pro posals on Irish policy which had been announced in the House of Commons, Dr. Leahy replied, urging several objections to the scheme as set forth in the memorandum, and added that both he and Dr. Derry would wait on. the Chief Secretary on an early day. On March 21 the two prelates had a lengthened interview with Lords Malmesbury and Mayo, and having stated their views, agreed to put their opinions in writing. This they did at great length. They contended that the new university ought not to be simply an institution for holding examinations and conferring degrees, but ought furthermore to be a teaching university, having its own full staff of professors, men of the highest mark in every department of letters and science, who should deliver courses of lectures open to th 4 students of the several colleges affiliated to the university. The colleges ought to be perfectly free as regarded their internal concerns, the appointment of rector, professors, and other officers, the course of studies, and the rules and regulations. Then, the Chancellor ought to be a prelate, and they respectfully suggest that Cardinal Cullen should be the first Chancellor of the new university. After the first nomination by the Crown, the Chancellor should be elected by the Senate (an exclusively Roman Catholic body, including four bishops and the President of May+. nooth College), and not by Convocation, which would be composed mainly of youthful graduates. The election of the six lay members of the Senate should also rest with that body itself, and not with Convocation. Further, the safety of faith and mortar - in - t:helminreity only be secured by recognising in the bishops, as members of the Senate, the exclusive right of morals. That right belongs to them, and to them alone, as pronouncing authoritatively on all matters of faith and compared with laymen ; for, according to the doctrine and discipline of the Roman Catholic Church, it was not com petent for laymen, nor even for clergymen of the second order, however learned, to judge authoritatively of faith and morality. That was the exclusive province of bishops, who should have the sole power of judging as to heterodox teaching of professors, lecturers, or other officers. Protestant students need not be required to attend any Roman Catholic observance, but, on the other hand, the liberty of the professors to treat, in a Catholic sense, of history, ethics, law, or other subjects, ought not to be restricted. Lastly, the veto of the Senate over the appointment of the professors and other officers of the affiliated colleges, as proposed by the Government, was uncalled for and ought not to be maintained.

Empowered by special Act of Parliament, 25th and 26th Vic., c. 74. Terminating annual premiums and sums assured pay able during life. Peculiar advantages offered to policy-holders by this Society. By means of a novel and perfectly equitable system of apportioning the profits, the bonuses may be applied, first, by extinguishing the premiums after a limited number of annual payments, and afterwards in making the amount of the policy payable during the lifetime of the assured. The holder of a policy effected at the ordinary rate of premium for an assurance payable at d •ath only has thus the option of securing in combination the two most im portant advantages which have of late years been intro duced into the system of life assurance, and this without any addition to the amount of his annual premium. These two advantages are, first, a "Free" or " paid-up" policy ; this o ul p y l plan, twopeculiar obj e cti o t n o s t w and, secondly, a sum a ssure d paya bl e on hi s a tt a i n i ng a given age, or earlier in th e event o f hi s d ecease. y adoption , rernve s he hi G ch re h a a t v B e r b it e an SoTciheetein o f t he urged against the system of assuranc e s p aya bl e d ur i ng life, viz.: —the high rate of premium, and the possibility that, through au unfavourable change in his circu m st ances , the policy-holder may be unable to continue his payment until the sum assured becomes duet By the plan now introduced the premiums aro precisely the same as for an ordinary life assurance, while, by apply ing the bonuses in the first instance exclusively in extin guishing the annual premium the policy is rendered secure at the earliest possible period; and, this all-important ob ject attained, the subsequent bonuses are then applied from time to time to shorten the interval at which the sum as sured itself becomes payable. It is scarcely necessary to point out that a policy, the premiums upon which coase atter a given number of pay ments, increases in value much more rapidly than an or dinary life assurance, and also affords a more complete security iu the event of the assured requiring a temporary advance from a banker or private friend. By the unusual facilities now offered the Directcrs be lieve that they have succeeded in affording to the policy holders of this Society, in the most simple, economical, and convenient form possible, a system of assurance whereby a provision for self in old age is conkbined with a provision for a family in the event of premature death.

London 56, Harley-street, Cavendish-square, W. 71 Livorpool 131, Duke-street, and Brighton ATTENDANCE DAILY. THE LEGALITY OF DERBY SWEEPS. Mr. Ilenry Wilson, news- agent, of 63, Ber mondsey-street, Southwark, was summoned before Mr. Burcham, at the Southwark Police-court, by order of the Commissioners of Police, charged thAt he, being the occupier of and using a room in the above house, did use the same for the purpose of what is known as a " Derby Sweep," contrary to the 16th and 17th Vic., cap. 119, sec. 103. Mr. Meadows White, instructed by Messrs. Ellis and Ellis, solicitors to the Commissioners of Police, prosecuted ; and Mr. Sleigh defended. Mr. Meadows White said that in consequence of the vast number of racing sweeps existing, chiefly in the crowded portions of the metropolis, and the mischief caused by them, the Commissioners of Police bad thought proper to take proceedings against the defendant, under the 16th and 17th Vic., cap. 119, sec. 103, according to the wording of the summons. The Legislature bad considered advisable to pass such an act, and in taking these proceedings the Commissioners desired his worship's opinion. Placards, of which the following is a copy, were conspicuously placed in the defendant's shop window to entice the passers-by H. Wilson's Derby Sweep. Sixth year. To be drawn on Mon day, the 25th of May, 1868; One thousand mem bers at 2s. 6d. each. First horse, £4O ; second, £25 ; third, £l5 ; among starters, £lO ; non starters; £l6 ss. ; all prizes to be paid in full, no deduction. One thousand at 2s. 6d., £125. De ducted from that—discount to agents, 5 per cent., £6 5s ; commission, advertising, &c., £lO. Money paid on Saturday after the race. All money not claimed within ten days w ill b e f or f e it e d." Mr. Burcham was of opinion that a similar case had been decided to be no offence. Mr. Meadows White thought that the case alluded to was betting under some trees in Hyde-park. The case now before his worship was for using a room for the purpose of receiving money to be paid on the event of a horse-race. The defendant, by his placard and receipt which he gave for the half crown, promised to pay to the purchaser, in the event of his winning, a certain sum of money. Mr. Sleigh, on behalf of the defendant, a sta tioner and newsagent, said that he merely received the half-crowns as agent to the subscribers, to dis tribute after the race was over. He contended that the present summons did not apply to the case. The act of Parliament clearly defined betting. The defendant did not keep any portion of his premises for betting. The first section set forth, any house, office, or room open for betting purposes. If the Commissioners of Police wished to convict the de fendant they must prove that he kept a room or office fur that purpose. Mr. Burcham observed that in the preamble of the Act the word betting was made use of, and nothing else. Mr. White was of opinion that the defendant came within the meaning of the Act, as he received money on a racing event. He called Sergeant John Pope, 6 M, who said he knew the defendant. A week ago he went to his shop, 63, Bermondesey-street, and purchased a ticket for a Derby Sweep, for which he paid him 2s. 6d. There were several placards in the window inviting passers-by to purchase them. Mr. Burcham was of opinion that the case before him did not come within the meaning of the act of Parliament. It had been decided that selling tickets for racing sweeps did not come within the ordinary meaning of betting. The defendant did not promise to pay out of his own pocket any money. He did not bet. He merely was entrusted by persons to rec Ave money and distribute the same. If any offence was committed it came within the Lottery Act, and not within the act of Parlia ment under which he was summoned. Under these circumstances he dismissed the complaint. Mr. Meadows White informed his w orship that he should consult the Commiss ioners of Police as to asking for a case to go to a superior court, as the question at issue was of the utmost importance to I the public. fHE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 22, 1868.

"In the present instance no such risk need he appre hended, for there is evident throughout Colonel Dickens' report a most conscientious endeavour to anticipate the maximum cost of the work." And see , ndly. Two paragraphs from a minute recorded 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 be very much less (than at Cuttack), and the returns may rea sonably be expected to be much more secure, because we 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 less certain in Behar than in Cnttack. The most valuable crops are not the rain crops in Behar, and for the most valuable crops there it is found by expe rience that expensive Well Irrigation pays, which has not been proved by experience to be the general case in Orissa. " I venture to recommend this enterprising Company, in %hose 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 available, and nothing is wanted but the money." 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 submitted to and ap proved by the Government. There will be no delay in making preliminary surveys, plans, &c., all of which have been effected, and everything made ready for immediate constructive operations, a great advantage not possessed heretofore by any other undertaking of a like character, because thereallsation of profits has been thus brought so much nearer. The capital has been divided into shares of £lO each, and stock in sums ranging from £lO upwards, to suit the c onvenience of all ; as it is thought many may desire to take a definite amount of stock, or to pay up in f u ll, and thus be free at once from all future care about calls, and from all future liability, while others may prefer to pay a smaller sum down as a deposit on shares, and pay up the residue by instalments as calls may be made. Some shares have been already allotted in India. The share capital will be called up slowly, and so as, with the stock, to maintain an expenditure at the rate of about £130,000 per annum. £2 per share during each year will be ample for this. Applications for shares may now be sent to the Com pany's Offices, 8 and 9, Queen-street -place, Southwark bridge, London, E.C., where a full prospectus and forms of application may be had ; but it is necessary that it should be understood that no application will be considered, un less a deposit of £1 on each share, or of 10 per cent. upon the amount of stock applied for has been made either to the Bankers of the Company, liessrs. Ransom, Bouverie, and Co., No. 1, Pall-mall East, or at the Offi les, 8 and 9, Queen-street-place, Southwark-bridge, Loudon, E.C.

ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS 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. As they are now planned, and being constructed, the canals 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. Adopting a temporary 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 lie estimates the re turns upon the Tidal Canal will be at, least ten per cent.), and allowing the Bill} charge of five per cent. for repairs,' inaiatenance,'establistunont, , eic., the net returns from the sectiouslickw - to be completed would bet altogether twelve per 'cent., Which,day, the 're-establishment of the original rate of five rupees per acre for" irrigation, would be mild • up to tyfenty,one per *Gut. net. These are figureir . tha,ac,Suracy of which can be easily demonstrated, and 'any inquiry made regarding them at the rt m t in P o an given.soffices will beat once replied to, and every information The prospect of an immediate aid extensive spread of irrigation, and therefore of a satisfactory increase upon the existing returns, is highly encouraging. By reports received on the 3d of the present month, and dated the 30th March, it appears that there had then been signed, connected with the Kendrapara Canal alone, leases (prin cipally for 3 years) for about 26,00) acres ; that applica tions from cultivators of land 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 convey the water to their fields with earnestness; further, that in the vicinity of the high level canal meetings were being held by the Zemin dare, and other unmistakable signs exhibited teat the same favourable state off affairs there as that connected with the Kendrapara Canal was a mere matter of a short time, and that before the coming season largo demands will be made for water. Upon the Midnapore Canal' the effect of the reduction of the water rate, &c., had not, at the end of March, been thoroughly ascertained, because the irrigating portion of that canal had been closed for some time previous for construction purposes, and had then only been reopened, but the chief engineer of the Company and the executive engineer in charge reported that applications for water, in addition to the 4,000 acres supplied last year, had commenced and were confidently expected to be added to largely. The works already constructed have now entered upon their stage of revenue, and they offer to capitalists not only a safe investment, but one which will, most assuredly, be very profitable ere long; and here it may be added, as confirmatory of this inmost immediate prospect, that the portions of the works now in band remaining to be exe cuted, consisting mainly of channels for the distribution of the water, will necessarily bo thoessiest of construction, as well as the most productive, and will add materially to the percentage of returns on the whole outlay. There is also another feature of great importance, which must not be omitted in the consideration of the fitness of this undertakiny, for au investment. By the contract it is expressly provided that the Company 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 so paid by the Government to the Company for such water shall be, the price charged to the cultivators, and shall be fixed so as to represent a fair charge for the water to the parties using it. With refe rence to this stipulation, it has been acknowledged by the Government that they alone are liable in respect to the non-payment for water supplied, so that the Company are released from all fear of liability to loss of any portion of their water-rate. Tho value of the foregoingarrangement can hardly be too highly prized, forming as it does a cer tain and safe guarantee of payment for every portion of the water supplied for irrigation. It has been determined by the Directors to limit, at any rate for the present, the expenditure to about £130,000 per annum, whereby they will be enabled to make all fu ture calls small in amount and at regular stated periods, n ot exceeding on tli year ; at the same time they are enabled by the Act of In corporation to issuewhole X 2 per share during each the required capital partly in shares of £lO each, and partly in stock divisible into sums vary ing from .flbePwacish;a plan which will suit the con ve n iw r destre to limit their liability to a fixed sum at once, an d t o b o r e liev e d f rom f u ture ca lls, and also those w h o may pre f er t o pay th e amoun t of capital held by them b y easy i ns t a l men t s i n th e s h a p e of calls.

The great value and prom isin g nature of "The Behar Undertaking," secured 147 contract to this Company, have, during the last e ight or ten y ears, b een so we ll and favourably discussed in England and throughout India, first by the Government and then by the Corn pany's officers, and are now so generally known, that any statement which the Directors might add upon the subject would be superfluous ; they, therefore, limit themselves to an assurance that they are satisfied it pre sents a safe, sound, an d profitable investment ; and, unhe sitatingly, solicit s ubscriptions towards the requisite capital; at the same time they quote, as confirmatory of their own judgment, the following: Firstly. An extract from a despatch to the Secretary of State in Council, dated March 10,1862, recommending that the Soane Canal project should be given to a private com pany, which despatch was signed by the late Lord Can ning as Governor-General, and by Sir Henry Bartle Frere (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 Robert Napier (now commanding the forces in Aby ss i n i a ), S amue l Laing, Esq., M.P. (then the Finance Member of Council for India), and the Hon. W. Ritchie, being the whole of the Governmental Council, viz. :- 4 ' 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 thin scheme as one of all others' in India to which private capital should be invited. " There is this advantage in Government taking the initiative in planning the great works of the country, that they :ire so placed before the public that they can be dis cussed in the light of local knowledge and experience.
