The circumstances under which sub3criptions are now invited by this Company, to a further issue of capital, are peculiarly favourable for investors, and present the Arongest evidence of the sound and profitable character of the undertaking, to complete which an additional outlay is required. As they aro now planned, and being constructed, the canals will, when completed according to the estimates of many engineers most competent to judge, including Colonel Ruudall 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 engineetoliiislifst , rePOrtetthlit estitiaths the 're:- turns , upon the Tidal Caual.will bent-least ten rreent.), and allowing the high Charge,4-fiVe percent. fer''. repair miiintenance, establishment, (Ste: tlna net returns from 'the , sections now to be vonipleted w o uld be altogether twelve per cent., which, by the re-establishnient of the original rate of five rupees peracre for irrigation, would be made up to' twenty-one per 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 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 26,000 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 Zeiniu dars, and other unmistakable signs exhibited twat the same favourable state of affairs there as that connected with the Kendrapara Canal was a mere matter of a short time, and that before the coming season large demands will be made for water. Upon the Midnapore Canal the effect of the reduction of the water rate, dm, 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, ha very profitable ere long; and hero it may be added, as confirmatory of this almost immediate prospeet, that the portions of the works ii118#• in 11:j: ea relnainitog'l,,a.beexC mainly cuted, consisting mainly of datotiels for tilstrit4tioa,of the water, will 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. 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 Company shall be paid for the water supplied for irrigation to the cultivators—not by the cultivators themselves—but by the Government of ludia ; 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 a..:knowledged 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. 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 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, not exceeding on the whole .£2 per 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 auras vary- . ing from £lO upwards—a plan which will suit the con venience of those who desire to limit their liability to a fixed sum at once, and to be relieved from future calls, and also those who may prefer to pay the amount of capital held by them by easy instalments in the shape of calls. Applications for Shares and Stock may now lie made by filling up and forwarding either of the accompanying Forms to the Company's Offices, 8 and 9, Queen-street-place, South wark-bridge, London, E.C. (whero 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 unl,,ss a deposit of £1 on each share, or of tea pounds per cent. upon the amount of stock applied for, has been made either to the Bankers of the Company, Alossrs. Ransom, Bonverie, and Co., No, 1, Pall Mall B•isc, or at the Offices of the Company. The Deposit will be returned without deduction if the application is not ac ceded to. rho 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 be appre hended, for there is evident throughout Colonel Dickens' report a most conscientious endeavour to anticipate the maximum cost of the work." And sec , ndly. Twc;P:ii;grapbs from ,s, minute recordel by Sir P. P. Grant wh en 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 hero 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 natu ra l ra i n f a ll is ress by half on an ave rage, and much less certain in Behar than in Outtaek. 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 nhose 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 forirrigation, 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 aro to belong to the Com pany exclusively. The scheme of works to be executed bas now been thoroughly investigated and earefUlly- re-planned on behalf of the Company, and particulars „submitted to and ap proved by the Government. There will be no delay in waking preliminary survey; plans, &c., all of which have been effected, and everything made ready for immediate constructive operations, a great advantage not possessed heretofore by any oth..g.undertaking of a like , character, because the realisation 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 conveuieace of all; as it is thought many may desire to take a definite amount of stock, or to pay up in full, and thus be free at once from all . ftiture care about calls, aud from all future liability, while others may prefer to pay a smaller suns down as a deposit on shares, aud pay up the residue by instalments as calls may be made. Some. shares have been already allotted in India. The sharp 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 bo 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 fell prospectus and forms of application may be had ; but. it is necessary that it should be understood that no application will bo considered, un less a deposit of £1 ou each share, or of 10 per cent. upon the amountof stock applied for, has been made either to the Rankers of the company, - Messrs.

The great value and promising nature of "The Behar Undertaking," secured by contract to this Company, have, during the last eight or ten years, been so well and favourably discussed in England and throughout India, first by the Government and then•by the Com= 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, and profitable 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 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 lato 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 Boadon (after wards Lieut.-Governor of Bengal), General Sir Robert Napier (now commanding , the forces in Abyssiuia), Samuel 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.:— " His Honour the Lieu enant-Governor considers that it (the Soano 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,rnment taking the initiativ3 in planning the groat works of the country, that they are so placed before the public that they can.be dis cus:s%lin the light of 1901 kaufledge and experience.

The Earl of LIFFORD, in purauance of his notice, called the attention of the house to the operation of the Con tagious Diseases Act, 1866, and asked whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to ex tend it to London, and to make it more effective by increasing the hospital accommodation, and said that in 1866 a bill was introduced for the purpose of checking the baneful operations of contagious diseases. These diseases' peculiarly affected men serving in the army and navy, and it was found that thero was about 110 in every thousand thus laid up. The good being done by the act was strikingly significant. At Aldershot great benefit had accrued, and the diseaseat Woolwich had been lessened by half, and the intensity of•disease lessened, and so it was in Portsmouth, Devonport ; but at Sheerness the experi ment had only been fully tried, and had been attended with the most successful results. In July last out of 153 soldiers there were two or three suffering from disease. Careful inspection would always procure a diminution in the ravages of disease. There was a society formed called tho " Society for the Promotion of the Contagious Diseases Act of 1866," and this institution had been of great benefit to society generally. It was found that diseases of the contagious olass were less prevalent and virulent in foreign countries than in England. He considered that it was the duty of the Government to do what all other continental nations had done. He thought there ought to be a law which would provide for the cessation of this disease; but it was objected that this would opon the road to vice and immorality, but he thought not. It would be found a great safeguard. It would give kind treatment in the hospital, and the religious instruc tion received there would be productive of good to all. He thought that he had shown that the principles of this act, instead of promoting immorality, was productive of the greatest benefit. He trusted he had done_ what he could to support this bill, and that it would be taken up by their lordslrips. If not, next year a bill would be introduced into this • or the other house of Commons. It was a matter which affected millions and the future prosperity of the country, and therefore he now begged to atik the question he had given'notice of. Lord TEMPLETON said than this was a great question, and one that was worthy of highest consideration. The' Dike Of paid that their lord- c • - - , i ~~~~, - Pliiele 4d.

Lord LIFFORD—To the civil population. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH said that he must then say that there was no intention ou the part of her Ma jesty'4 Government to undertake so anomalous and exten sive an undertaking. When they c uno to consider the question of .extending it to the civil population they were met by very great . difficulties. First, there was the expense, which might be justifiable as far as the army and navy were concerned, and might be a proper economy, but with the civil population it would be too extedsivo. There were very moral considerations attached to the subject, but these were not sufficiently high to justify such a step, unless the mortality was uncommonly high, and then it might be the duty of Parliatne.nt to supply some remedy. It would require in the metropolis 500 men at the expense of £25,000, and if this was ex tended to other large towns the expense would be enor- mous. . Tt►e subject then dropped, aud their lordships a.djourned HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING. The SPEAKER took the Chair at 4 o'clock. THE POST OFFICE. Mr. LOCKE presented a petition signed by 80,000 Post office employes, praying the house to mho their case into censictiration with a view to increasing their remuno- ration. COLONEL KNOX AND 31R. GLADSTONE. Colonel KNOX said he had to state that he had failed in his endeavours to substantiate the statements he made last night. Ho did not, ho assured the house, think when ho was making the statement that be was doing that which was not tho fact, but having discovered he had unintentionally committed a wrong, ho begged to apologise to the right hon. member for South Lancashire and the house. (Hoar, hear.) Mr. GLADS'.PONE said he was perfectly satisfied that the hon. gentleman had•boen misinformed when he origi nally made the statement. POSITION OF HER MAJESTY'S MINISTERS. Sergeant ARMSTRONG gave notice that on Monday, the 25th inst., he should move the follow ing resolution : • " That, in the opinion of this house, the present position of her Majesty's Ministers is opposed to the principles of representative government, subversive of constitutional precedent, and incompatible with the character and dignity of Parliament." (Loud cheers from the Opposition.) TIIE APPOINTMENT OF MR. BOVILL. Mr. lIAYTER asked Ur. Attorney General whether it was true that the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas had appointed his son, Mr. W. Bovia, last year junior lieu tenant in the 16th Lancers, to bo Assize Clerk on the Wes tern Circuit with a salary of £l,OOO a year; and if it bo true whether there was any precedent to justify his appoint ment to such office;; and whether any or what legal quali fications are regarded as necessary for holding such ap pointment ? The ATTORNRY-GENERAL said the office of clerk of assize for the Western Circuit having fallen vacant by the unexpected death of Mr. Chitty, and the appointment being in the gift of Sir William Bovill, ho had conferred it upon his son. The salary attached to the office is a fixed one, besides which the clerk of assize was assisted by a deputy clerk, the clerk of the arraigns, and others, whose salaries were paid out of the Consolidated Fund. (Oh, oh, and loud laughter.) The duty of the officers was more administrative than legal, and principally - eonsisted in correspondence with sheriffs with respect to the arrangement of the time of holding circuit, to act as an associate to the judge presiding at nisi prius, and to do other duties. (flear, hear, and laughter.) With respect to the precedent for such an appointment if the honourable member wanted on 3 of a similar case in point, viz.,. the ap pointment of a lieutenant of the 16th Lancers to the office, of course he could not give it—(hear, hear)—but if ho wished to know if a judge had ever appointed his son to such an office before, ho had to say that from the time of Lord Tenterden down to the present the office had always been filled either by a judge's son or relative. (Gl3, oh.) With respect to the appointment being conferred on a barrister, be might be allowed to say that the gentleman who had now received the appointment was reading himself up and doing every thing to adopt the bar as a profession, although he would be prevented from practising on the Western Circuit. (Oh, oh, and laughter.) Mr. lIAYTER thanked the hon. and learned gentleman for the information he had given, but he should feel it his duty to move a reduction of the estimates by the amount paid for such a service. (Cheers.) RELIGIOUS LECTURES. Mr. REARDEN asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it was his intention to intro duce a bill this Session for the - purpose of preventing lectures upon the religious profession of faith of any of her Majesty's subjects in any part of the United Kingdom, except in churches and chapels licensed for that purpose, and during Divine Service in such Churches and chapels, without first submitting a copy of such lecture for the ap proval, revision, and consent of the Secretary of Stab for the Home Department. Mr. HARDY said he had no intention of bringing in a bill on the subject that would add such an additional and onerous duty on the Home Secretary. (Laughter.) A ROYAL RESIDENCE IN IRELAND. Sir C. O'LOGHLEN calledattention to the absence of a permanent Royal residence in Ireland, and moved an address to her Majesty humbly repre senting to her Majesty that it would conduce to the advantage of the Crown and the goof govern in:mt of Ireland, and tend to allay jealousy and discontent in that country if her Majesty had a perm meat residence in Ireland, and that this house, feeling deeply its import ance, will cordially co-operate with her Majesty in any steps she may be graciously plea.sed r to take to carry out SJ desirable an object. Ile thought the arrangement would do more to consplidato tranquillity than all the soldiering that might be sent to the country. It had been said as one of the objections to the course he proposed that the live'S of tho family royal would not be safe in that country. He denied such an assertion as a scurrulous libel on the whole people, and felt certain that the lives of the family of the Sovereign would bo as safe in Ireland as they were in this country. It might be urged that it would now be highly inconvenient for her Majesty to be con stantly crossing the Channel—he did not say it would but then it might please his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales to represent his Royal Parent, and reside for some time in Ireland during each year as her representative. Stich an arrangement would give the greatest satisfaction to a large nation of loyal and devoted subjects. It might be urged that such a proceed ing would entail an additional outlay on the part of his Royal Highness, but Parliament had never been parsimonious in granting, allowances . to the Royal Family, and if it should be found for such a purpose the allowance of his Royal Highness should be increased the house -would rea dily grant the money. He contended that as Ireland was a separate nation, and would always continue e 9, a Royal residence there for. the Sovereign who governed it was a matter of justice quite as much as of favour: He had not the least intention of•saiing one word in the slightest de gree disgraceful, and with the sincere desire that the object ho had in view would bo accomplished, ho begged to move the address. kr: PIM seconded the motion. Sir F. lIEYGATE thought the adoption of the proposi tion of the hon. baronet for Clare would be ono of general good, and he had the greateSt pleasure in uniting with the hon. and learned gentleman opposite in order that he might not have all the honour on his sine of the house. (Rear, hear, and cheers.) . The presence of at least one member of the Royal Family would go far to soften the asperities that had most unhappily so long existed. He had no doubt that the lives of the persons of the Royal family in Ireland would bo held as sacred as they were in this country. The funds of the Irish Church, as they were to be taken away to some extent, might very well be expended in the purchase of a new royal residence in Ire land. DISRAELI remarked upon the fact that at former periods the great difficulty of communication between this country and Ireland tended materially to diminish the Visits of R )yalty to thitt country. There was an increas ing desire on the part of her Mijesty to visit every portion of her kingdom, and he hoped a period would soon arrive when another Royal visit would be paid to Ireland. He did not think that it would b 3 advantage ous to present such an'tuldress as that proposed, but ho was quite sure the loyal sentiments which had been uttered that evening would not be lost sight of. He hoped, ou these conside rations, the motion would be withdrawn. Mr. GLADSTONE thought Sir Colman O'Loghlen might rest perfectly satisfied with the reply of the Prime Minister, and withdraw the motion introduced. Sir COLMAN O'LOCUILEN agrood to this, and the subject dropped. The House then went into committee of supply. Several votes of money were agreed to,, after . soma-dis cussion upon them. • The House resumod, and the ord 3 rs o f the. da were . - rapidly disposed a, and the lionoe adjourned;• , (e) ~~ MILK VERSUS BEER.' 4 ln the North of England, in Scotland, and also in Ire land, a cow is an almost indispensable necessary of life to the? labourer and his' family ; and where the keep of thel cow is not expressly, stipulated for in the agree ment between master and servant, the latter will try? every plan to get keep for his cow somewhere in the neighbourhood. The want of a cow in such cases is jemtly considered a great hardship, and although some enixloyers do not allow their people to keep cows, it is not fe;wtheir advantage ultimately that. they decline to do so. In; the case of villages where the inhabitants are not, perhaps, regularly employed by farmers, a field in the is rented, and the cows are pastured thereon during summer and autumn, the owners finding suitable keep for their cows during the winter and spring months. Something of this sort we should like to see common in England, and we feel convinced that it would be a most advantageous arrangement to all parties. A valuable and nutritious article of food would be come familiar to the people as part of their every day meals, and they would not only be personally benefited thereby, but led, perhaps, to set less value on the small, the very small, beer or the thin cider which is so frequently dealt out in farmhouse kitchens to the men. A. jug of milk would also be a much more substantial uldition to the dinner of the labourer's wife and children than the " hap'orth o' beer " which is too often the common allowance for that meal. We are convinced that the substitution of milk for beer would be a saving to farmers, while the labourers would be in better condition for their work than it is possible for them to be under the influence of such beer as that which is usually Liven to them.—The Farmer. TIM FATAL ACCIDENT TO AN UNDER- GRADUATE. An inquest has been held on the body of Mr. Jones Watson Bartle, commoner of Exeter College, Oxford, who died from s, pistol-shot wound on the previous day. Tho deceased, accompanied by Mr. A. M. Gordon, of the same college, an intimate friend, were in a punt on the Cherwell, at the rear of Magdalen College, amusing themselves by shooting at birds. They had changed places once or twice, the one shooting and the other propelling the boat, and at length commenced throwing small things at each other. When the deceased resumed the work of propelling the boat, Mr. Gordon took' up the pistol, which was a breech-loader, and, not knowing the deceased had put a 'bullet in the barrel, pointed it at him in fun. The trigger was without a guard, the pistol exploded, and deceased fell, shot in the bieast. Mr. Gordon imme. diately threw the pistol into the river, called for assist ance, and had deceased removed ashore: The unfortunate young man only ejaculated one or two sentences on being shot, and died shortly after being removed ashore. Mr. Gordon gave his evidence in a manner which excited the commiseration of all who were present. At the conclusion of the case the jury returned the fol towing verdict:—" That the death of the dece . ased James Watson Barrie was the result of a wound from the accidental discharge of a pistol." They added the following remonstrance :—" We wish to express our strong dis approval of the prevailing indiscriminate use of saloon pistols by the undergraduate members of the university % and desire to call the attention of the authorities of the university and the colleges to the dangerous practice." The Rev. H. Barre, vicar of Faringdon, and uncle of the deceased, said he desired to express his entire con viction as to the purely accidental character of the manner in which deceased had lost his life, and, amid the deep grief of himself and his family, his true sympathy with Mr. Gordon under the very distressing circumstances of this most sad catastrophe. The tragic event, coupled with the calamity at Christ Church, has cast a. gloom throughout the university, and most of the cricket matches . and other sports which would have been going on have been postponed. The advantages of steam ploughing become more appa rent year after year, as the land continues to improve under the discipline of deep cultivation. On clay lands the treading of horses in the furrows makes an impervious subsoil, which causes the land to remain wet in winter and to become rapidly dry in summer. Land under steam cultivation can often be worked shortly after rain when other lands cannot be touched. In the summer the moisture which has pene trated to a great depth returns to the surface, and make the crop flourish in time of drought. The presence of ridges .nd of spots and patches, which often give an uneven ap pearance to the crops at this season of the year, are not found on steam•cultivated lands. At the model farm of the Meisrs.' Howard, of Bedford, the difference between steam and horse cultivation is strikingly apparent. There are upwards of 400 farMs under steam•cultivation in this county, and it is estimated that the labour of 2,500 horses is saved. Thus not only is .more food grown, but its consumption is economised, and more corn or beef wilt fall to the lot of the working classes. A full-length bronze statue of the late Sir Peter Fairbairn, erected to his memory by his fellow-townsmen, was lately inaugurated with becoming ceremony at Leeds. The statue, Which is by Mr. Noble, the well-known sculptor, is an excellent likeness, and it has been erected Dn an appropriate site in Woodhouse-square, Clarendon road. Alderman Nussey, the chairman of the memorial committee, unveiled the statue in the presence of the mayor (Mr. A. Fairbairn, the son of Sir Peter), several other members of the Leeds corporation, andother inhabi 'Ants of the borough. • The petition in favour of women's suffrage, which has just been presented to the House, received 21,757 signatures.

THE 'CuLLIEDS' STRIKE IN SOUTH WALL'S',-- Matters connected with the dispute between employers and employed in some parts of the South Wales coalfield have assumed a very different position from that anticipated a few days ago, all the steam-coal miners in Monmouth. shire having consented to resume work on the masters' terms. At the South Wales Colliezy the men are going in on the reduction, and it is understood that the colliers and bank-women recently brought down from Bilston are to be paid a sum of money to return to their old quarters. At Abertillery the turn-outs have expressed their willingness to go in on the reduction, but it is understood that the loss sustained by the proprietors is so serious that they have come to the determination to engage an entirely new lot of colliers. A mass meeting of the house colliers has been held at Blackwood, at which great dissension prevailed, but it was ultimately agreed to resume work at a reduction of Id. per ton, which, it is scarcely necessary to acid, the masters refuse to accept ; consequently, the men still con tinue on strike. PROPOSED GOVERNMENT PURCHASE OF THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPHS.—A reply has been prepared by Mr. Frank Ives Scudamore to a pamphlet recently published, and professing to be " A Statement of the Case of the Electric and International Telegraph Com pany against the Government Bill for acquiring the Telegraphs." The author of the reply does not assume that the pamphlet is an official statement of the company's case, or that it proceeds from the chairman of the com pany, Mr. Grimston, who met the representatives of the Post Office in a friendly and conciliatory spirit. The complaint put forward was that the company had not received fair notice of the bill, or had sufficiently early opportunity of becoming acquainted with its contents. To this allegation Mr. Scudamore's answer is, in substance, ip s that at the time the directors of the company applied for a copy of the bill it had not been completed, but that the Post Office volunteered to give all the information in their :power ; and, further, that on the Gth March, before the provisions of the measure Aver° fully arranged, its leading features were explained to Mr. Grimston by the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Postmaster- General. Accordingly, he contends that the complaint of being taken by surprise is unfounded. The reply. further points out that as the bill gives all the companies power to compel the Postmaster -General to purchase the property of all, in twelve months from the time at which he pur chases the property of one, it is futile to allege that the Post Office can use the property of-one company:far:Ake Purpose of competition with the others, The Government *%. 6 :. desires to purchase all the lines as speedily as possible. Mr. Scudamoro maintains at great length the following ' propositions, in which chambers of commerce and public writers have concurred, namely, that the existing charges for telegraphic messages are too high ; that frequent delays occur - in the transmission ; that many impcirtant districts are unprovided With telegraphic communication ; that under the existing system the development- of tele grapkicccO•emondence has been retarded ; and, finally, that.the-sarne.good results would follow the annexation of :the telegraph to the Post Office as have followed in S ' • 1,11 - lierland agd,kogium,
