OPERA, rheonly drawback to doing this is the risk of misleading capitalists and raising mistrust of such investments. lu the present instance no such risk need be appre hended, for there is evident throughout Colonel Dickens' report most conscientious endeavour to anticipate the maximum cost of the work." And sec oadly. Two paragraphs from a tninuto 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 au ave rage, and much less certain in Behar than in Cuttack. 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 whose success every parson connected with India must feel. deep interest, to consider Captain Dickens' scheme of irrigation from the Soane, for which complete plans and estimates are availal)le, 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 the realisation 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 convenience of all ; as it is thought many may desire to take a definite amount of stock, or to pay up in full, and thus ba 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. £3 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, Messrs. Ransom, Bouverie, and Co., No. 1, Pall-mall East, or at the Offices, 8 and 9, Queen-street-place, Southwark-bridge, London, E.C. The deposit will be returned without deduction if the applica tion is not acceded to. • CONTRACT FOR PLATE GLASS.

The circumstances under which subscriptions are now invited by this Company, to a further issue of capital, aro 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 j es t reported that he esti ma t es th e re turns Upon the Tidal Canal will be at least ten per cent.), and - allowing the highchargo of five, pe r cen t. f or repa i rs, main teuad ce, establish Ment,' ezoe the net returns fr om th e ' sectioils 66w. 01 . v , com oo te d Would ba altogether twelve by the: re-establishment of the original rate of five rupees per acre' for irrigation, would be made • up to twenty-one per cent_not., These are figures the accuracy of which can be easily demonstrated, and any inquiry made regarding them at, the Company's offices will he 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 Zomin dars, and other unmistakable signs exhibited that 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 inregvious for construction portion of that canal h season large demands will b e mad e for water. Upon the Midnapore Canal the effect of the red uc ti on of the water rate, &c., had not, at the en d of M arch, been thoroughly ascertained, ad because been purposes, and had then only been reopened, but the chief and th engineer of the Company executive engineer in charge reported that applica tions f or water, in addition to closed for some the the 4,000 acres supplied las t y ear, had commenced and were confidently expected t o bo a dded to largely. The works already constructed have now entered upon their stage of revenue, and they offer to capitalists not only irtrimigeat p 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 portions of the works now in baud remaining to be exe cuted, consisting mainly of channels for the distribution 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 irrigati on to the cultivators—not by the cultivators themselves—but by the Government of India; an d 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 azknowledged by the Government that they alone are liable in respect to the non-payment for water supplied , so that the Company are re l ease d 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 sums 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 be made by filling up and forwarding either of the accompanying Forms to the Company's Offices, 8 and 9 au Q ue en-street -place, South wark -bridge, London, E• • (where Prospectus and Forms of Application may be uu had); but it is necessary that it should be understood that no application will be considered unless a deposit of on each share, or of ton pounds per cent. upon the amount of stock applied for, has been made either to the Bankers of the Company, Messrs.

James Robertson, of Appleton le-Street, North Riding, in the westernmost of a 1 1 group of six tumuli on Amotherby-moor, Easthorpe, near Castle Howard. The mound opened was oval in shape, being 70ft. east and west by 45ft. north and south in diameters, and reduced to 3ift. high. A previous digging years ago failed to reach the burials. The form and contents of the barrow were altogether unusual. Very little below the surface of the mound, at the centre, a very large slab of Widenley stone was found, weighing upwards of 2} cwt. This cover rested on a circle of 5 large blocks of Easthorpe sandstone, each weighing about 2 cwt. These covered a central grave of 9ft. diameter, cut into the sandstone rock. In this grave were four burials, all overlying each other, the uppermost one being burnt. In addition to these there were nine other discoveries in varioas parts of the mound, showing a curious combination of inhumed and cre mated interments, surface and grave interments, broken human interments, and bones of bodies so broken that the disagreeable feature of cannibalism was strongly suggested. Some of the bodies not in the central grave had been strangely mutilated, and in a manner that indicated the removal of the flesh before burial. The skulls showed the brachy cephalic type, that of the round heads, or later race of the Ancient Britons. It is worthy of remark that in all the previous diggings in tutnuli by the Rev. Canon Greeuwell upon the Ilowardians no other case of inhumed burials was found. The in vestigation showed that the form of the barrow was not caused by additions to a round one, but that in the first instance it had been oval. The central burials may be described thus :—At a depth of 3ft., lying upon a pavement of large stones, some of them burnt, was the body of a young female, lying on the left side, with the head to the south, The body was much contracted, and measured only 2ft. 3in. in length from head to foot (or ancle, the feet being absent). The length of the femur was only The left hand of this burial was up to the face. The head was protected by stones, but the pressure of the cover block of Hildenley limestone had greatly damaged the skull, the jaws and facial bones being forced inwards, and some of tht n protruded through the orbits. The right arm and hand and both feet of this burial were wanting, and the lower jaw showed extraordinary signs of disease, scarcely a single non-carous tooth being found. This is a most unusual feature. One foot to the west of the head of this body was an urn, ornamented over nearly the whole surface with vertical markings, made by a sharp instrument pressed in to the clay and dragged downwards. The upper surface of the rim was marked with round punctured holes. This urn was standing upright, and, strangely enough, contained the metacarpal and other bones of the right hand (corresponding exactly with those of the left hand of the burial), and the metatarsal and other bones of both feet. The astragali and larger bones of the feet and the humerus and other bones of the right arms have not been found. Here is an evidence of strange and unaccountable mutilation of an unburnt body. Between the knees and the ribs of this body, and partly overlying it, was deposited the imper fectly-burnt bones of a strong and older person, the pieces of skull having been collected together and placed on the east side of the deposit, and touching the breast of the unburnt body. Several pieces of skull and one orbit were selected. One chipping of flint was found before the face of the unburnt body. In the same grave, but 2ift. deeper, upon a bed of sand, and covered with sand containing many larger pieces of charcoal, was another body (of much stronger build and in good preservation), laid on the right side, with the head to the south, with both hands up to the face. The body and the fe rum formed a right angle, but the heels were brought up - close to the sacrum. The whole burial was covered with large flags of stone, and smaller stones were piled round the head. At the back of the head was a large and much worked flint knife, and at 18in. behind the body were found a large flake scraper and another large piece of flint. Below this the grave ngrrowed to Bft. diameter, and at 2kft. still lower a third unburnt (and of course the primary) burial was found. This was under unburnt body No. 2, and the position was exactly reversed, being on the left side, with head to the north. The head was surrounded with stones, but the skull was much broken and flattened. The right hand was up to the face,and the heels, as with the previous body, were brought right up to the back. The bones were very much decayed, and were lying upon a thick bed of charcoal, and were covered with 9iu. of sand, and over all a seam of charcoal. In the grave at the western edge, and 6ft. from the body, was an urn, having lines of punctures, very much broken and in bad condition, and a portion wanting. Around it were several flakes of flint. The other nine disco veries consisted of detached parts of bodies, with urns, flint implements, pavements on which fires had been kindled, and numerous other details com mon alike to most barrows. The tumulus yielded remains in such varied directions that it was com pletely turned over. The five round barrows ad joining remain for future examination. One of the most important recent acquisitions to the South Kensington Museum is a cast of the whole of a window in the west front of the church of the Certosa, at Pavia, which convent was founded by G. G. Visconti, Duke of Milan and Lord of Pavia, 1396. The facade of the church, which comprises on the lowest tier of its lights four such windows as that in question, was de signed by A. Da Fossano, or Borgognone, and begun in 1473. This artist, being a painter by education, produced what may be called a beauti ful picture, or rather collection of small pictorial designs in terra-cotta, and combined them with no good fortune. LADTERTISEMENT.i—HoIIoway's Pills.—Pure Blood. — As this vital fluid,when in a healthy state, sustains and re novates every part of the living system, so when it be comes impoverished and impure it exerts a precisely con trary effect. It is abundantly manifest that any medicine which does not reach the circulation can never extermi nate. the disease ; that any preparation capable of exe.rcis ing a sanitary influence over the blood must with it be clrried to every living fibre of the frame. The.lunqs, heart, liver, kidneys, and skin all receive benefit from . its more wholesome condition. Holloway's .purifying lls operate directly, powerfully, and beneficially upon the whole mass of blood, whether veinous or arterial. They strengthen the stomach, excite the liver and kidneys, expel disease, and prolong existence. - - • 17 : 6,57, 7 . • t, 'HE Pußircr. AL • ba. a The following is the weekly return by the Registreli! General of births and deaths in London and in thirteen other large towns of the United Kingdom : In the week that ended ol Saturday, May 16, 4,736 births and 2,504 deaths were registered in London and in thirteen other large towns of the United Kingdom. The annual rate of mortality was 23 per 1,000 persons living. The annual rate of mortality last week was 21 per 1,000 in London, 25 in Edinburgh, and 27 in Dublin ; 22 in Bristol, 20 in Birmingham, 26 in Liverpool, 27 in Man chester, 25 in Salford, 29 in Sheffield, 24 in Bradford, 20 in Leeds,'2o in Hull, 21 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and 31 in Glasgow. The sate in Vienna was 34 per 1,000 during the week ending the 9th inst., when the mean tempera ture was 6*B deg. Fahrenheit higher than in the same week in London, where the rate was 22. In London the births of 1,1C4 boys and 1,119 girls, in all 2,223 children, were registered in the week. In the corre sponding wcehs of ten years, 1S 8-67, the average number, corrected for increase of population, is 2,075. The deaths registered in London during the week were 1,263. It was the twentieth week of the year, and the average number of deaths for that week is, with a correc tion for increase of population, 1,331. The deaths in the present return are less by 63 than the estimated number. The annual rate of mortality was 19 per 1,000 in West London, 20 in North London, 24 in Central London, 24 in East Loudon, and 20 in South London. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29•893 in. The mean temperature of the v'r in the week was 57'5 deg., which is 6'o deg. above the average of the same week in 50 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day tem perature was 77'2 deg., on Friday, the 15th May. The lowest night temperature was 421 deg., on Tuesday, the 12th May. The entire range of temperature in the week was therefore 35 . 1 deg, ATTACK ON THE ENGLISH MISSION IN JAPAN. A correspondent of the Times, in a letter dated March 25, records another attack on the English mission in Japan. Sir Harry Parkes and his suite were on a visit to the Mikado, at Kioto. This visit, it may be noted, was organised by the Mikado, who wished to establish friendly relations after the late massacre. Everything was arranged by the authorities to do honour to cur representatives. They were 'edged in the most gorgeous palace, and treated most munificently. On the 23rd March they set out instate to visit the Mikado. What took place is thus described by the correspondent :—" First came the inspector of the Lega tion escort, riding alongside of a Japanese officer of rank, named Nakai, who formerly belonged to the Satsuma clan; then came the mounted escort ; then Sir Henry Parkes,with Mr. Satow and Onto Shojirio, a high officer of the Foreign Department; then came a guard of infantry, belonging to the 6th Regiment, which is now stationed at Yokohama. As good luck would have it, Dr. Willis, of the Legation, and some naval officers whom Sir Harry had invited to Kioto, among v. hom were two medical officers, Drs. Purves and Ridings, had accompanied us on foot in order to see us enter the palace. Down a straight street nearly facing our temple, the front men passed without let or hindrance, but AS they turned the corner of the street two or perhapsmore rufliaus sprang out upon them with naked swords and at ached them. Nakai leaped frtm his horse and engaged one, but, catching. his foot in his trousers, stumbled, and received a severe cut in the head. At this moment Coto Shojirio, NVIld with the Minister had not yet turned the corner, perceiving from the backing of the horses and the scuffle in front that there was mischief ahead, d ism ou n t eel , grief, rush i g forward, came to Nal: ai's rescue, and between them, fighting like brave men, they killed and decapitated the villain on the spot. The other scoundrel, crouching like a tiger, ran swiftly down our line, brandishing his sword like lightning, and cutting right and left in his blind rage. It was like a Malay running a muck, only with a more deadly weapon. I, who was in the rear, saw a distur bance, but at first thought that it was only caused by restive horses until I heard the cry Kill him ! " Stop him ! ' ' Cut him down !' Then the inspector of the escort came cantering down the street and fired his pistol, and some one said, ''We are attacked !' I jumped out of my kayo just as the pistol went off close to me, and a woman fell down in front of me, frightened, but not hurt. I saw a man rush into the house next me pursued by the inspector and the two officers commanding the infantry geard. I drew my sword and ran to the front, not knowing the extent of the danger ansl anxious to see whether all our party were safe. As I ran up tlle street I met one nlan after another of the mounted escort coming down streaming with blood from their wounds, but not a man complained. I found the Minister at the angle of the street with the headless body of one of our enemies at his feet, and ascertained that he was unhurt as well as all our officers. I then ran lack to look after the man who had fled into the house, and who, I heard the officer of infantry say, was shot dead. Finding him still alive I stayed by him, in order, if possible, to protect him, and to revive him sufficiently to subject him to an examination. My object was not to kill him, although, had he attempted to escape, I should have done so. I only kept watch over him until I could put two sentries to guard him, and I had some trouble to save him from the fury of those who had caught him red handed. Our Japanese guard, I must add, had almost all run away, and only came back when the danger was past. Of course, going on to the Court was out of the ques tion. We had twelve men wounded, including Nakai and Sir Henry Parkes's Japanese groom, besides four horses, and naturally our wounded were the first object. Some time was lost in getting coolies to carry our poor fellows—at least, so many of them as were faint from loss of blood ; for the others, grievously wounded though they were, insisted on sticking to their horses." It is satisfactory to be able to add that the prisoner has confessed and disclosed two of his accomplices also captured. The Mikado has expressed his deep regret, and having expressed a wish that the visit would yet be paid, it was arranged that it should take place on the 26th. The reason of the attack seems to be only that the English were foreigners. Menotti Garibaldi, the eldest son of the General, is now visiting in Glasgow. The London correspondent of the Irish Times says the negotiations between Government and the Irish Catholic bishops in reference to the charter for the Catholic University have been broker, off. There is absolute disa- greement on some of the principal points involved in the discussion. Captain Moncreiff's new barbette elevating gun carriage has been officially tried at Woolwich with perfect success. Nine rounds were fired with 141 b. and 221 b. of powder, and 115-pound shot from the 7.inch rifled gun, each recoil bringing the gun down into safe position below the parapet for reloading—that being the result intended to be attained by the aimple and effective appli ances of the invention. SINGULAR AFFAIR IN SHROPSHIRE.—The mono tony of daily life in Shropshire is just now considerably enlivened by the gossip arising out of an incident of which the following is a brief recital :—A short time ago a gentleman named Wells, a Wolverhampton ironmaster, purchased an estate at Eaton Mascott, near Shrewsbury, to which he subsequently added some land adjoining the property of the Hon. and Rev. Noel Hill, rector of Berrington, and brother of Lord Berwick. This land lies immediately before the rectory, and a few weeks ago Mr. Wells took it into his head to build two small cot tages as near to the rectory as possible, and with the back premises directly opposite the front window of Mr. Hill's residence, and in full view thereof. As there is no high way or other road near the site, or any probable reason ,vlxy Mr. Wells should select that particular spot for building cottages upon, it was generally believed that he had done it simply " out of spite," and the popular feeling was very strong against him. The twin son of Mr. Hill, the elder of whom is heir presumptive to the title and estates of his uncle, Lord Berwick, lately came of age, and the occasion was made one of great rejoicing by the tenantry and neighbours, upwards of £5OO being sub scribed to the celebration fund. Amongst other festive gatherings, luncheon was given on the lawn in front of the rectory, followed by a ball, at which about 300 persons were present. Mr. Wells's unfinished cottages, stand ing alone in the middle of a gre en field, form, as bas been stated, a prominent feature in the otherwise beautiful landscape ; and the circumstances under which they had been erected were freely discussed by the corn. pany, and, singular to relate, it was discovered on the following Astrict r i c t i morning i i i s g b that ii) prosecuted,the th a pulled view to iden tifying the cirenders and bringing them to justice ; but though the secret must be known to a large number of persons, it has hit herto been faithfully ke p t. In the iean while, Mr. Wells has commenced to rebuild the cottages. Large and most important discoveries of coal have been made in Russia. The mines of one district alone are, according to the St. Peterburg journalf Gotos, capable of supplying annually 400,000 tons for 150 to 200 years. Since 1864 there have been surveyed in the valley of the Don forty-four beds, the aggregate quantity of which is estimated at 1,234,947,375,000 pouds, or more than 18,000,000,000 tons. The Gatos asserts that the mineral wealth of Russia far exceeds that of England, and at the same rate of production woulcUtst for two centuries after the English mines were exhaustel. THE NEW NOVEL.
