An extract from a despatch to the Secretary of State in Council, dated March 10,1862, recommending that tho Soano 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 Nanier (noW'coinmanding tbe . forces in Abyssinia), Samuel Laing, Esq . :, M.P.

CO )PER, Sec. 85, Queen-street, Cheapaide. A decree of the Sacred Congregation of the Index condemns two German works—" Christianity and Modern Natural Science," by Frohschatnmer, and " Fifty Theses on the Church in the Present Age,' , by Michelis ; also the Italian ones—" The Middle Age," by Paganetti, and " A Hundred Biographies of Illustrious Children of. Italy," by Borelli. The same body announces that the author of " Letters from Sophronius on the Liturgical Question" has retracted and publicly asked pardon. The Bishop of Exeter, with that disposition to do prompt justice and repress a real grievance which has ever characterised him, has suspended from duty the Rev. George Henry Parminter, rector of St. John and St. George, Exeter, whose disgraceful conduct while intoxicated was the subject of a pro test by his parishioners at a vestry meeting last week. The church was re-opened yesterday (Sun day), and . services conducted,' both morning and evening, by a clergyman temporarily appointed.— Western News. At the fetes of Orleans General Fleury presented to the Emperor a young officer, a descendant of the brother of Jeanne D'Arc. It is computed that there are at least seven persons in France who are related to the same notable personage—Madame Albertine Grauthier D'Arc, widow of the late Edouard De Julienne, formerly advocate at Aix, and their three children, M. Edgard De Julienne D'Arc, lieutenant in the 9th Regiment of the line (he who, according to the condescending compliment of the Empress, " well supports an illustrious name") ; Madame 'Japery D'Arc, and Madame Bouchet RiviereD'Arc, born of Julienne ; then MM. C. Renaudeau D'Arc, engineer ; Ernest Renauden D'Arc, under superin tendent on the Northern Railway ; and the widow of M. Edouard Renaudeau D'Arc, advocate and judge at Rouen. In the 2lfoniteur de l'Algerie of the 6th of May, Nlarshal M'Mahon writes :—" There is no country in Europe in which life is more respected and safer than it now is in Algeria." To support this asser tion the Marshal adduces certain statistics which go to show that among the civil European population of Algeria—about 100,000 in number—there have during the last seven. months been only seventeen murders and only five persons eaten. A critic in the 14 igaro computes that, as there are in France 38,000,000 s)nls, a similar proportion. of crime would show 11,400 twarltrs a year, a state of thin 44 which, 111 olv.erves, " goas ferait re gretter l'ancionne Foret dc wh !re a3st3si nation nscd to be the rule, and escape from it the exception.

The Emperor of the French, it is said, knew of the taking of Magdala 24 hours before her Ma jesty's Government did so. THE DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF GRAFTOT.—Dr. Sawyer, Bishop of Graf ton and Artni late, New S ntth Wales, had been conducting the evening ser vice at Grafton on Sunday, March 15, when his un timely death occurred. At about 10 o'clock he was crossing the Clarence river to get back to Bishops thorpe, accompanied by his son, Mr. Brown, James, Creighton, and two female servants. After pro ceeding a mile, the wind being fresh and the sails set, near the end of Elizabeth Island a sudden gust of wind upset the boat: The bishop's son was asleep, an I was not seen after the accident. Creighton attempted to rescue the bishop, blt was seized by the servant, who held on to him. The bishop was never seen again. The survivors were picked up by some boats which arrived just in time to rescue_ them. The Emperor of Austria has sent a slim of 2,000 florins to the committee at Trieste engaged in col lecting subscriptions for a monument to the Em peror Maximilian. The Empress Charlotte has transmitted 1,0001 ; the Arch duke Francis-Charles, 1,5001 ; the Archduchess Sophia and the Arch duke Charles-Louis, 1,0001 each ; and the Arch duke Louis-Victor, 50011. The Figaro states that communications have at length been opened between the French and Italian Governments with a view to rid Paris of the little Italian itinerant musicians, who, as is known, are exploited by a set of idle vagtbouds, who beat them severely if they do not briug home a certain amount of money. Arrangements have been made t.) send the children back to their own country, and the journal believes that some have already been returned to their homes. On Tuesday the Pope attended in person the funeral of Cardinal Andrea, and took part in the service. He pronounced the benediction over the body of the late Cardinal. A crowd had assembled to witness the ceremony. A Dublin Conservative journal states that a release of Messrs. Sullivan and Pigott may be soon expected. Another paper, also a supporter of the Government, mentions that the writs of error were disallowed in their cases because the errors were not specified in the memorials presented by their counsel, and adds that there can be no objection to the presentation of further memorials not defec tive in this particular. A few days ago a family of five children, the eldest eleven years of age and the youngest five, were found wandering in the streets of Exeter. They had been sent from Waterloo-station with half-tickets by their step-mother, and they knew not why or where• they were going. The matter was broughtbefore the magistrates at the Guildhall, who considered it a strange mode of disposing of a family. The little ones were taken to the workhouse. The father was eventually discoverA at Dartmouth ; he was penniless and seeking work. He had been separated from his wife for some lime. The children are still in the workhouse. The Record prints an account of a meeting of the Scottish Reformation Society—whose principal object at present appears to be to educate and send forth upon the newspaper world 200 Protestant youths well skilled in the mystery of shorthand writing, for the express purpose of counteracting " the machinations of the Jesuit newspaper reporters in the galleries of the I - lou3es of Lords and Commons."

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 Randall 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 he estimates the re turns upon, Tidal.Caual will be at least paper cent.), al4tallearink , tilaabigakchdreief five per cerita,for r4rirs, aatalgiotyilbatficac., the net returns frotu;ahe Set:kik:4lB.ow to 'be.cemplethewotild be alfogether twelve per cent., vcihinli, by the re-establishment of the original' rate of five rupees per acre for irrigation, would be made, up to twenty-enia per cent. net. These . are figures theeaMtracY of which can be easily .demonstrated, and any :inquiry made regarding them at information r O m e a n ti i P o a hgv n 'given. :o e fi n. ia s will at once repli e d t o, an d ever y The'prospect of au immediate and extensive spread of irrigatipn, 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 thou 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 Zemin dars, and other unmistakable signs exhibited that the same favourable stat e off affairs there as that connected with the Kendrapara Canal was a mere matter of a short time , an d 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, &e., had not, at the end of March, been thoroughly ascertained, because t he irrigating portion of that canal had been closed for some tim e previous for construction purposes, and had then on l y bee n reopened, but the chief charge engineer reportedof the thatCo a water, in addition to the 4,000 acres supplied last year, had commenced and were confidently expected t o be added to largely. The works already const ructed have now entered upon Company and the executive eng i neer i n ications for their stage of revenue:and they offer to capitalists not only a safe investment, but one which will, most assuredly, ba very profitable ere long; and here it may be added, as of channels for the distribution of confirmatory of this almost imtnediate prospect, that the portions of the works now in hand remaining to he exe cuted, the easiest of construction, as e p uce r l o a d isna u li c )l. t l rve, and will add mater;ally to the t cs ,: t l e lw i tt , ast c et o ir n le s w i l s lii t lo i l n sn g t percentage of returns on the whole outlay. There is also another mature 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 swill be paid for the water supplied for irrigation to the cultivators--not by the cultivators themselves—but by the Government of India; awl that the price to be so paid by the Government. t ) the Company for such water shall be, the price charged to the cu lti va tors, cud shall b e fixed so as to represent a fair charge for the water t.o the parties using it. With refe rence to this stipulation, it has been a.;knowledged by the n ow:paymentfor Water.mippli e a , so that the Company are released from rril - feai o f 'li ability to loss o f any por ti on o f I,lone are liable in respect to the their Governmentw t water-rate. a t t h e 4. t It'hetley value of the foregoing arrangement can hardly be too highly prized, forming as it does a cer tain and safe guarantee of pay m ent for every portion of the water supplied for i rr i gatio. 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 daring each year ; at the same time they are enabled by the Act of In corporation to issue the required capital partly in share's of £lO each, and partly in stock divisible into sums vary ing from £lO upwards Plan which will suit the con venience of those who desire to limit their liability to a fixed stun at once, and to be relieved from future ca lls, and also those wh o may prefer to pay the amountasy ins o f capital held by them by e • talments in the shape of calls.

CALLAGHAN, 23A, New Bond-street, Corner of Conduit-street, W. Broomhead, was on fire. The pit, which was opened only fourteen or fifteen months ago, is situated near Boorshall, about three miles to the north-east of Dunfermline. The alarm was immediately given, and a number of per sons soon assembled to render assistance. The fire originated at the bottom of the pit. It is supposed that the furnace had become overheated, and the pit being quite dry, the bottom stoop caught fire, and then the woodwork. The ropes hanging down and the cages having also caught fire, the flames soon reached the top frames and scaffolding. A large number of men endeavoured to subdue the fire and keep it from spreading by throwing on water, but for a long time this did not prove very effectual. At the pithead an enormous " bing" of coal was accumu lated, anti as the loading bank led into it, the coal soon be came ignited. Mt'anwhile information was sent to D umferm line. The fire engine was limn ed lately turned out, and Captain Westwood amt other nimbus of the fire brigade proceeded to the pit, at u1..c . 1 they arrived at six o'clock. The fire was by that time lather increasing than abating, notwith ,tanding the great efforts that were being put forth. Large numb( r, of people flecked up from Dunfermline, and Letween s:x o'clock and nine o'clock there were 'nearly two thousand spectators. The engine was soon put to work ; but 0 er.i was a great scarcity d water at the place. Six or seven water carts were employed to bring water from the Lochfitty Burn, a short distance from the fire. Though many of the burning planks had been taken from among the coal, the fire was still spreading, encouraged by a slight breeze, which blew in the direction of the "bing," An attempt was then made to cut a gap between the " Ling " and the burning mass, but it was several hours before that was accomplished. Great volumes of smoke were coming up the mouth of the pit, and fears were enter tained that the fire at the bottom was very serious. Some time in the evening a few men went down the new Elgin Pit, not far distant from the burning pit, and with which there is communication ; but they could not proceed in consequence of the bad air. Late:in the evening the men at the pit-head succeeded in cutting off communication between the burning material and the accumulated coal, but this was not before a serious amount of damage had been done. Shortly before twelve the fire at the top was checked, but the rubbish smouldered . away for several hours on the following morning. There was then no danger, however, as it was separated from the main heap of coal, and could not spread further. The burning still went on below ground, and when water was poured down the shaft the smoke came up in thicker volumes. Early in the morning, Mr. Robert Muir, the manager, and between twenty and thirty men went down the Elgin Pit, and proceeded to the place where the coal was burning. By strenuous efforts the party succeeded about four o'clock in extinguishing the fire, at least so far as they could observe. The damage to the workings is extensive, and, unfortunately for the miners employed, it will be some time before the pit can be put into working condition. " PAINLESS DENTISTRY !"

" 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 maxinv,m cost, of the work." And sec ndly. Two paragraphs from a minute recordei by Sir P. P. Lirant when Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal, viz.:- " The magnificent province of Behar which would be admirably watered by Captain Dickens' projecte , l from the Sown-.. The cost here would certainly be very touch hiss (than at (.'uttack), and the returas may rea sonably be expected to be much more st.cure, because we km)w, as afa et, the value of irrigation in Daher. The soil is better and the natural rainfall is loss by half on an ave rT,O, and much less certain in B e h ar th an i n Cutteek. W.. most. valuable crops are not the rain crops in Behar, and for the most valuable cropi there it is found by expe rience that expensive Well liTigatlm pays, which has not been proved by experienCe to be the general case in Oris.sa. "I venture to recommend this enterprising Company, in whose success every person connected with India must feel deep interest, to consider Captain Dickens' scheme of irrisation from the Soane, for which complete plans and estimates aro availajle, and nothing is wanted but the money." • Dythe contract with the Government the Company are entitled to receive and retain all profiti front the sale of water for irrigation, until the dividends pail 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 bas now been thoroughly investigated and carefully re-planned on behalf of the Company, and particulars submitted to and ap proved by ~ he Government. There will be no delay in making preliminary surveys, plans, &c., all of which have been effected, and everything :as le 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 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 halve 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 ou each share, or of 10 per cent. upon the amount of stock applied for, has been made either to andth the B c a n n ., k N e rns.

LAW AND POLICE. ►SENDING DISEASED MEAT TO MARKET.-At the Guild• hall, I homas Sharp, a butcher, residing at Marnhull, Dorsetshire, was summoned for sending the carcase; of two cows to London for sale, such being unfit for human food. The defendant pleaded guilty. The solicitor to the Commissioners of Sewers said the defendant usually sent pigs and calves to the London market, but at the end of last month be sent a diseased cow. i n this instance the animal was bought for 305., and was sold for 455. The foreman to the London salesman said that such meat as that in question was made into saveloys and sausages. The magistrate declined to inflict a fine, and sentenced the accused to a fortnight's imprisonment ARSON BY A WOMAN.—At the Clerkenwell Police • court, Mary Crooks, a married woman, was charged on remand with-setting fire to her dwelling-house, persons being in it at the time. The evidence proved that the pri, Boner and her husband occupied the front room of the house in question, and for same time past she had given way to habits of intoxication. Early on the morning of the 14th an alarm was given that the room in the occu pation of the prisoner was on fire. With assistance the fire was put out, and then it was discovered that the floor board in front of the fireplace had been removed and the vacant space had been stuffed with shavings, which had teen partly consumed. At the other end of the room was found some charred wood, and one of the witnesses described the wood as consisting of pieces of bedstead and a table. That the place was set on fire wilfully it was stated there could be no doubt, as there was neither fire nor candle in the room. The prisoner, about eleven o'clock, returned the worse for liquor, and Police-constable Gunningham, 24 G Deserve, being called, the landlord, Mr. James Hunt, Luilder, of 117, St. John-street, gave the prisoner into custody on the charge of setting fire to the house, and she then said it was all right, and that she knew all about it. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said, " I had delirium, Iron ens at the time, and I set fire to the room with a red hot poker. Devils were all dancing round me, and I could see them as well as I can see you now. It is the third time that I have bad delirium tremens." Mr. Cooke committed the prisoner to the Central Criminal Court for IMPORTANT DECISION UNDER THE FACTORIES ACTS.-- At the South Shields Petty Sessions, Messrs. Palmer and Co., Jarrow, was summoned, ul oa the information of -Mr. William Cl Aytor, of Newcastle; sub-inspector of factories, for having on the Bth April last employed in their yard Smith Kennedy, a boy, under the age of eleven years, for more than six hours a day. The facts were admitted, and the only question was whether the yard in which the boy was employed was a " factory" within the mean ing of the Act. Mr. Chaytor was called, and said he found there were more than fifty persons employed in each of the departments into which the works were divided. In the shipbuilding yard machinery was used. The boy was employed as a rivet boy. The complaint was made under the clause of the Act which said that it applied to any premises in which steam, water, or other mechanical power is used for moving machinery.—Mr. M`lntyre explained the situation of the different yards, and said the accounts were kept separate, but he could not tell whether the profits went into a common fund. Mr. Dalglish said the case was brought under paragraph 5 of the Factory Act, which said that it applied to any place in which steam, water, or other mechanical power was used for moving machinery in the manufacture of any article. Now, he said that a ship was not an article, and therefore the Factory Act did not apply. He referred to the definitions given of an " article"—by Richardson, " a small part or portion ;" by Webster, " a small and distinct part ;" and the derivation of the word from articulus, a little joint —as showing that a ship could not be any article. He also argued that as the Act stated the other large industries of the kingdom to which it applied, it would also have specified shipbuilding if it had been intended to apply to it. Mr. Ingledew, in reply, pointed out that machinery was employed in strapping and bending the plates for, the ship, and these might be said to be manufactured articles ; that the works were a whole, and that more than fifty persons were employed in each department ; and the Act said it applied to premises, whether adjacent or separate, in the same occupation. He further urged that the Act stated that every part of a fac tory should be deemed to be a factory, except such part as was used exclusively as a dwelling. The magistrates retired, end after some consultation returned into court, and said that, though their decision might cause some inconvenience, they could only look to the law; and they found that the evidence justified them in saying that the premises were a factory, one trade establishment where more than fifty persons were employed, within the meaning of the Act of Parliament ; also that the articles of metal had been made there by steam power, and therefore they were obliged to impose a penalty of 10s. and costs. Mr. Dalglish gave notice of an appeal, and the bench agreed to grant a case for the superior courts. THE IRISH Cllunoll.—A great meeting of Cum berland and Westmoreland clergy has been held at Car lisle. Resolutions were carried, asserting that the union of Church and State ought to be maintained, and that disestablishment would be a - serious blow to the Reformed faith. Petitions to Parliament against the disestablish ment of the Irish Church were unanimously adopted. THE REFORM LEAGUE. —The council of the Re form League met on Wednesday night, at Adelphi terrace, Mr. Beales in the chair. Tbc chairman having spoken at some length upon the p resent aspect of political affairs, the following resolution, proposed by Mr. Odger, and seconded by Mr. Davis, was adopted :—" That a sub eonkmittee ho appointed to take steps to secure a meeting in the Guildhall in reference to Mr. Gladstone's Suspen s,ry Bill, and to ascertain whether the Lord Mayor has correct), represented the opinions of the citizens of Lon don on the subject of religious freedom." THE DISPUTE IN THE IRON TRADE.—A meeting o f puddlers has been held at Wolverhampton, and the men again resolved not to accept the masters' terms. Whilst, however, these resolutions are being passed, men continue to resume. On Tuesday twelve furnaces were being worked at the drop at the Minerva Steel and Iron works of Mr. Isaac Jenks ; also at the Shrubbery Works of Messrs. G. B. Thorneycroft and Co., men continue to drop in. Both there and at the Chillington Works as many puddlers have resumed as the proprietors require during t 49 preseuj very contracted clmarkA.

J. 0. supplies the Crowned Heads of England and France and the chief of the .aristocracy. By the use of his "Spanish Meal" any quantity of birds can be raised. The hundreds of thousands of heads of Game reared on my system during the last ten years proves its utility ; :he loss from every cause has not averaged three to the hun dred. Gapes and Itoup (the two most fatal diseases which attack game) the birds have been and always are free from. This is attributable to their robust constitution and excellent condition. Pheasants fed on my food show their beautiful plumage with hardness and closeness of feather to the greatest advantage; they cannot be sur passed. The magnificent Foreign and English Pheasants at the Zoological Society's Gardens, Loudon, and his Imperial Majes!y's Pheasantry at Compiegne and St. Germains, aro fed with my food.
