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. The works already constructed hav e now entere d 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 :tiniest immediate prospect, that the I portions of the works now in hand 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. By the contract it is expressly provided that the Com pany 'shall be paid for the water supplied for irrigation to the cultivators—not by the cultivators themselves —but by the Government of India. :With reference to this stipulation, it has been a..iknowleclgod by the Government that they alone are liable iu 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 f orego i ng 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 ilea been determined by the Directors to limit, at any rate for the present, the exp mdituie to about £130,000 per annum, whereby they will be enabled to make all fu ture calls small in amonut and at regular stated periods, not exceeding on the whole £2 per share during each year. Applications for Shares and Stock may now be made to the Company's Offices, 8 and 9, Queen-street -place, South wark-bridge, London, E.C. (where a full Prospectus and Forms of Application may be had); but it is necessary that it should be understo :d that no application will be considered unless a deposit of LI on each share, or of ten pounds per cent.

The following paragraphs are extracted from a despatch to the Secretary of State in Council, dated March 10,1862, recommending that the above project should be given to a private company, which despatch was signed by the late Lord Canning as Governor-General, and by the whole of the Governmental Council, viz.:— a Hi s Honour the Lieu enant-Governor considers that it (the Soane Canal project) holds out bettor prospects than the Orissa scheme, and that it would bo 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 pr i vate capital should be invited. " There is this advant a ge in Government taking the planning g t o f t hleocagreatknowledge works f the an d country,expe rexperience. rho lih are ialeies before the public th a t t h ey can b e dis cussedh in drawback to doing this is th e r i s k o f m i s l ea di ng t capitalists "In the present ins tance no s uch risk need be appre hended, for there is ev ident throu ghout Colonel Dickens' report a most conscient ious end eavour to anticipate the maximum cost of the wo rk." n initiative sotin and hl raising mistrust of s uc h i nvestments. Also the following 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 C a p tain Dickens' projected canal front the Soano. 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 batter and the natural rainfall is less by half on an ave rage, and much loss 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 Wel l Irri gation pays, which has not borei6a.ns7.oved, e xperience to be th e genera l case i n Orissa.". The scheme of • works to be executed has been tho roughly investigated and carefully re-planned on behalf of the Company, and particulars submitted to and ap proved by the Government, so that 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 boon thus brought so much nearer. The capital has been divided into shares of £lO each, and stock in sums ranging from £lO upwards. Some shares has° been already allotted in India. The share capital will bo 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 ou each share, or of 10 per cent. upon the amount of stock applied for, has been made eith er t o the Bankers of the Company, Messrs.

Vcde. SPORTIVG INTELLIGENCE. EPSOM RAGES.-TUESDAY. Nothing could well commence more auspiciously than that gala week during which so many of us keep holiday on Epsom Downs. The recent ;rain had penetrated the hard ground, freshened the herbage, and laid the dust. The latter, by the way, is, perhaps, a somewhat rash as sertion, which wo may have to retract to-morrow, but for the present let it stand on record- There was that perfect combination of weather—a warm sun and a cooling breeze —and, above and beyond all, there was just racing enough to interest and amuse, but not to fatigue. The attendance was about an average one for the first day, which generally comprises the business element alone- Shortly before the racing began the following rather curiously-worded notice was posted on the board :—" Sir Joseph Hawley declares to win with Rosicrucian or Green Sleeve, iu preference to Blue Gown." As Sir Joseph has always declared Rosicrucian his best horse, or rather better than Blue Gown, this was done probably to assert his own judgment over that of the public, who have persistently stuck to the latter horse, and have within the last few days brought him into the position of second favourite. But his reign was not at an end, and his deposition did not improve his stable companion's position, as 100 to 6 could have been obtained about Rosicrucian immediately after the declara tion. Tho Craven Stakes looked a certainty on paper for Gritnston, but, with the usual fortune attending Baron BothaChild's horses when he does not back them, King Alfred won very cleverly by half a length. Rarely have better-looking youngsters been seen in the paddock or at the post than the 19 who sported silk for the Woodcote. Three or four could have been "spitted" by a tyro as looking race-horses all over —Wellington, Brother to Athena ; Belladrum, by Stockwell—Catherine Hayes ; a son of Tim Whiffler and Hermione ; Thirlestane, by Young Melbourne ; and the Crucifixion filly. To further sift the lot, perhaps Wellington and Belladrum bore off the palm for good looks, and the latter won so cleverly that we are warranted in believing Mr. Merry's recent ill luck is going to have a turn. The little Crucifixion filly was favourite, and ran very gamely, but only got third. She did not seem to act well downhill. The Rous Stakes was an other turn-up for the fielders, as Landscape was not in it, and the three top weights finished one, two, three. Leonie squandered her field in the Heathcote, and the Reserved Lawn Stakes fell to Whitby. The Derby speculation was marked by the continued firmness of the Danebury mare, the knocking,-out of Spa r ctilum, who went to the outer darkness of 30 to 1, the stationary position of Blue Gown, despite the declaration above-mentioned, and the little favour shown to Rosicru cian. With the great event so near, with the last utter ances of all the prophets recorded, and the public mind made up that Lady Elizabeth must win, we wait in patience for the morrow. It certainly does look as if the way was , clear before her, and we should say it was tho greatest of " morals," did we not remember that this time last year we thought the same of Vauban, and to what point of the racing compass wo turned could not perceive - anything to beat him. What outsider is to drop from the clouds to morrow, to-morrow must show. Neither of Sir Jos. Haw ley's trio is now regarded with much favour ; Paul Jones is shaky ; and Suffolk, despite King Alfred's success, has receded a little. It really looks as if Danebury and Ford ham wore this year to be recouped for their many disap pointments.

They ran thus into the straight., when Curfew Bdl gave way, and the favourite, half-way up, took his place at the side of Silenus, who was beaten at the Stand. Here King Alfred came with a rush, and, heading the favourite, woo very easily by half a length ; a bad third. The Horton Stakes of 5 sovs each, with 100 sovs added.

Esher, on the inside, was the first away, and came on with a clear lead of Camerata, Secrecy, and the favourite ; to these succeeded, on the right, Seringapatam, Regula, the Minerva filly, and Little Go to the turn for home. Here Mr. Hodgman's filly dropped back, and at the dis tance the leader was challenged by the favourite, the Lunen() colt, and Secrecy, the lot running exceedingly wide of each other to the Stand, when Esher drew away and won rather clef erly by three-parts of a length from Adaraanthea and the Lunelle colt, who finished with a dead heat. Secrecy was fourth, about a neck in their rear ; Seringapatam fifth, the Minerva filly sixth, Acknow ledgment seventh, Little Go eighth, and Bianca next. Camerata, Magpie, and Merry Monarch were the last three; the latter was pulled up opposite the paddock, and did not pass the post. The winner was sold to Mr. Chaplin for 230 guineas.

After several breaks away they were despatched to an indifferent start, in which Wellington, Maid of Avenel, and Charon got away upon indifferent terms. The run ning was taken up by Antias inclose company with Onyx, Le Saphir, Delladrunt, and the Hermit:me colt, the latter lying on the inside. A length or so separated these from the Crucifixion filly, Tenedos, Flower Girl, Martyr, and Juanita on the right.. They ran thus to the road, where the two leaders dropped away, leaving the Frenchman slightly in advance of the ILA-mien° colt, Flower Girl, and the Crucifixion f to the half distance, when Bella drum came out, and taking a clear lead at the enclosure, won very easily by a couple of lengths. The Crucifixion filly, who was cannoned against by Lo Saphir on crossing the road, finished third, three parts of a length in rear of her stable companion, Flowerpirl. Tenelos was fourth, close up, Juanita fifth, the Hermione cult sixth, and Mar tyr next. The others were pulling in a Indy, as they passed the post, the last lot widely spread, comprising Little Nell, Onyx, Ahtias, Vaubrugh, Defender, Maid of Avenel, and Charon, the two last being beaten off a long way.
