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 a Iditional outlay is required. As they are -new planned, and being constructed, the canals will, when completed according to the estimates of many engineers most competent to judge, including Colonel Ilundall and the present chief engineer of the Company, convoy 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 rato total of three per cent. upon the outlay (the present chief engineer has just reported that he estimates the re turns upon the Tidal Canal will be at least ten per cent.), and allowing the high charge of five per cent. for repairs, maiuteuance, establishment, &c., the net returns from the sections now to be completed would be altogether twelve per cent., which, by the re-establishment of the original rate of five rupees per acre for irrigation, would be made up to twenty-end per cent. net,/ ' These are Spires the aecuracy of which can be easily demonetrated, end any inquiry made regarding them at the Company's odes 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 enco urag i ng. B y reports received on the 3d of the present month, and dated the 30th March, appears that there had then been signed, connected with the ICendrapara Canal alone, leases (prin cipally for 3 years) for about 26,000 acres ; that applica tions from cultivators of land uuder 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 state off affairs there as that connected with the Rendrapara 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,"&c., had not, at the end of March, been thoroughly ascertained, because the irrigating portion of that canal had been closed for some time previous for construction and the executive engineer in purposes, and had then only been reopened, but the chief be added to largely. engineer of the Company charge reported that applications for water, in addition to twh cThonfidently works year, had commenced and a r de le re s nest a is fr u e ep a xp d pl y iee'cd : c on dlas st t i ot eicted have now entered upon their stage of revenue, and they offer to capitalists not only ' will, most assuredly, ' ve s r a y fe p i r n o v fi e t s a t b m le en a t re b l u on t ong;e which d ilic h h ere it may be added, as confirmatory of this elinost immediate prospect, that. the portions of the works now iu baud remitiutug to be exe cute], 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 in an the inv es considerationtniL nt.By theot the 'Le I, tfitnes s contact it of this is expressly t p s r tu es nn sl oder y tbe p tu r k o ol v inx il f d eodi t . hat the (3ompany shall be paid for time water supplied fur irrigation to the cultivators—not by the cultivators themselves —but by the Government of I n di a ; and that the price to b e so paiA by the Government t) the Company for such water shall be, the price charged to the cultivators, and shall be fixed so as to repres 'ut a fair charge for the water t.o the pa rties using it. With refe rence to this stipulati on, it has beau 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 guaran tee of payment f or ever y por ti on o f the water supplied f or i rrig.4iOn. It has been determined by the Directors to limit, at any rate for the present., the expenditure to about £130,000 willper annum, whereby they will be enabled to make all fu ture calls small in a mount and at regu l ar state d per i ods, not exceeding on th e whole £2 per share during each year ; at the same time they are enabled by the Act of In corporation to issu e th e required cap i ta l part l y i n shares of £lO each, and partl y i n stock d i v i s ibl e i n t o sums vary ing from £lO upward s _ a S Lthteheshcaopne venience of those wh o desire to lim i t t h e i r li a bili ty to a fixed sum at once, and to be relieved from future of capital held by th em by p e l l as a ., n y _ p N i V ri h s i t, al e h will i s t refer to pay . the amount calls, and also thos e w h o m of calls. . _ - Applications for Shares and Stock may now be made by filling up and forwardi ng e i ther of the accompanying Forms to the Company's Offices, 8 and 9, Queen -street-place, South wark-bridge, London, E.C.

The holder of a policy effected at the ordinary rate of premium for an assurance payable at d ath only has thus the option of securing in combination the two most im portant advantages which have of late years been intro duced into the system of life assurance, and this without any addition to the amount of his annual premium. These two advantages are, first, a "Free" or " paid-up" policy ; and, secondly, a sum assured payable on his attaining a given age, or earlier in the event of his decease. The adoption of this plan, peculiar to the Great Britain Society, removes the only two objections which have been urged against the system of assurances payable during life, viz.:—the high rate of premium, and the possibility that, through an unfavourable change in his circumstances, the policy-holder may be unable to continue his payment until the sum assured becomes due. _ By the plan now introduced the premiums aro precisely the same as for an ordinary life assurance, while, by apply ing the bonuses in the first instance exclusively in extin guishing the annual premium the policy is rendered secure at the earliest possible period ; and, this all-important ob ject attained, the subsequent bonuses are then applied from time to time to shorten the interval at which the sum as sured itself becomes payable. It is scarcely necessary to point out that a policy, the premiums upon which cease atter a given number of pay ments, increases in value much more rapidly than an or dinary life assurance, and also affords a more complete security in the event of the assured requiring a temporary advance from a banker or private friend. By the unusual facilities now offered the Directors be lieve that they have succeeded in affording to the policy holders of this Society, in the most simple, economical, and convenient form possible, a system of assurance whereby a provision for self in old age is combined with a provision fora family in the event of premature death.

Two paragraphs from a minute recorded by Sir P. P. Grant when Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal, viz..- • "The magnificent province of Behar which would be ailmirably watered by. Capt tin ackens' projected canal from the Soane. The cost, here would certainly be very munch I,,ss (than at Cuttack), and time retnrns may rea sonably be exported to be mach mere secure, becanse wH know, as a fact, the vain , irrimtion in lielar. The soli is better and the natural rainfall is les s by half on an ave rage, ani much less certain in Behar than in Onttack. The most valuably crops are not the roin crops in Behar, and for the most v minimal,, crop: there it is found by expe rience that expensive %Veil hrigati-.1.1. pays, which has not been proved by experence to be the general case in Orissa. "1 Ventura to reclnnuend this enterprising Company, in ~ hese succoss every persona connected with India must feel deep interest, to consider C.aptain Dickens' scheme of irrigation from the Swum, for which comple - s 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 front 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 inade 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 stuns ranging from £l.O 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 sutn down as a deposit on shares, and pay up the residue by instalments as calls may be made. Some shares have been already allotted in India. The share capital will be called up slowly, and so as, with the stock, to maintain an expenditure at the rate of about £130,000 per annum. £2 per share during each year will be ample for this. Applications for shares may now be sent to the Corn 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 the Bankers of the Company, Messrs. Ransom, Rouverie, and Co., No. 1, Pall-mall East, or at the Ofliles, 8 and 9, Queen-street-place, Southwark -bridge, Loudon, E.C.

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 bo 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 Secr3tary of State iu Council, dated Alarch 1 0,1862, recommending that the Soane Canal project should be given to a private com pany, which despatch WaS sign e d 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 Deaden (after wards Lieut.-Governor of Bengal), General Sir Robert Napier (now commanding the forces in Abyssinia), Samuel Laing, Esq., M.P. (t lien the Finance Member of Council for India), and the Hun. W. Ritchie, being the whole of the Governmental Council, viz.:— "His Honour: the Lieu onant- Governor considers that it (the Soane Canal project) holds out better 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 Compa. y were to adopt this instead of the other ; but the projectors prefer that originally selected by them. We have long regarded, this scheme as ono of ali others in India to which private capital should be invited.

Mr. Meadows White said that in consequence of the vast number of racing sweeps existing, chiefly in the crowded portions of the metropolis, and the mischief caused by them, the Commissioners of Police had thought proper to take proceedings against the defendant, under the 16th and 17th Vic., cap. 119, sec. 103, according to the wording of the summons. The Legislature had considered advisable to pass such an act, and in taking these proceedings the Comm issioners desired his worship's opinion. Placards, of which the following is a copy, were conspicuously placed in the defendant's shop window to entice the passers-by :—" H. Wilson's Derby Sweep. Sixth year. To be drawn on Mon day, the 25th of .I\la3 i - -1868: One thousand mem bers at 2s. 6d. .each. First horse, £4O ; second, £25 ; third, 415 ; among starters, £10; non starters, £l6 Is. ; all prizes to be paid in full, no deduction. One thousand at 2s. 6d., £125. De ducted from th'at—discount to agents, 5 per cent., £6 5s ; commission, advertising, &c., £lO. Money paid on Saturday after the race. All money not claimed within ten days will be forfeited." Mr. Burnham was of opinion that a similar case had been decided to be no offence. Mr. Meadows White thought that tLe case alluded to was betting under some trees in Hyde-park. The case now before his worship was for using a room for the purpose of receiving money to be paid on the event of a horse-race. The defendant, by his placard and receipt which he gave for the half crown, promised to pay to the purchaser, in the event of his winning, a certain sum of money. Mr. Sleigh, on behalf of the defendant, a sta tioner and newsagent, said that he merely received the half-crowns as agent to the subscribers, to dis tribute after the race was over. He contended that the present summons did not apply to the case. The act of Parliament clearly defined betting. The defendant did not keep any portion of his premises for betting. The first section set . fortb, any house, office, or room open for betting purposes. If the Commissioners of Police wished to convict the de fendant they must prove that he kept a room or office fur that purpose. Mr. Burcham observed that in the preamble of the Act the word betting was made use of, and nothing else. Mr. White was of opinion that the defendant came within the meaning of the Act, as he received money on a racing event. He called Sergeant John Pope, 6 M, who said he knew the defendant. A week ago he went to his shop, 63, Bermoudesey-street, and purchased a ticket for a Derby Sweep, for which he paid him 2s. 6d. There were several placards in the window inviting passers-by to purchase tnern. Mr. Burcham was of opinion that the case before him did not come within the meaning of the act of Parliament. It had been decided that selling tickets for racing sweeps di.l not come within the ordinary meaning of betting. The defendant did not promise to pay out of his own pocket any money. He did not bet. He merely was entrusted 'by persons to rective money and distribute the same. if any offence was committed it came within the Lottery Act, and not within the act of Parlia •ment under which he was summoned. Under these circumstances he dismissed the complaint. Mr. Meadows White informed his worship that be should consult the Commissioners of Police as to asking for a case to go to a superior court, asth to e question at issue was of the utmost importance I the public. The correspondence relative to the proposed charter to the Irish Roman Catholic University has been published.' It commenced on the 23rd of October last, when Archbishop Leahy and Bishop Derry applied to Lord Derby for the charter, having been taeputed by the Roman Catholic hierarchy to do so, and to conduct the negotiations without limit or restriction. The Earl of Mayo simply acknowledged the receipt of the letter, and nothing further was done in the matter during Lord Derby's tenure of office. On March 14, just after Mr. Disraeli had been appointed Prime Minister, Lord Mayo wrote to Dr. Leahy, enclosing a " confidential memorandum." With respect to the Government pro posals on Irish policy which had been announced in the ITonse of Commons, Dr. Leahy replied, urging several ol , jectilms to *e scheme as set forth in the memorandum, and added that both he and Dr. Derry would wait on the Chief Secretary on an early day. On March 2 the two prelates had a lengthened interview with Lords Malmesbury and Mayo, and having stated the:r views, agreed to put their opinions in writing. This they did at great length. They contended that the new university ought not to be simply an institution for 11“bling examinations and conferring degrees, but ought furthermore to be a teaching university, having its own full staff of professors, men of the highest mark in every department of letters and science, who should deliver courses of lectures open to the s! udents of the several colleges affiliated to the university. The colleges ought to be perfectly free as regarded their internal concerns, the appointment of rector, professors, and other officers, the course of studies, and the rules and regulations. Then, the Chancellor ought to be a prelate, and they respectfully suggest that Cardinal Cullen should, be the first Chancellor of the new university. After the first nomination by the Crown, the Chancellor should, be elected by the Senate (an exclusively Roman Catholic body, including four bishops and the President of May nooth College), and not by Convocation, which would be composed mainly of youthful graduates. The election of the six lay members of the Senate should also rest with that, body itself, and not with Convocation. Further, the safety of faith and morals in the university could only be secured by recognising in the bishops, as members of the Senate, the exclusive right of morals. That right belongs to them, and to them alone, as pronouncing authoritatively on all matters of faith and compared with laymen ; for, according to the doctrine and discipline of the Roman Catholic Church, it was not com petent for laymen, nor even for clergymen of the second order, however learned, to judge authoritatively of faith, and morality. That was the exclusive province of bishops, who should have the sole power of judging as to heterodox teaching of professors, lecturers, or other officers. Protestant students need not be required to attend any Roman Catholic observance, but, on the other hand,,, the liberty of the professors to treat, in a Catholic sense, of history, ethics, law, or other subjects, ought not to be restricted. Lastly, the veto of the Senate over the appointment of the professors and other officers of the affiliated colleges, as proposed by the Government, was uncalled for and ought not to be maintained. To the document containing these conditions Lord Mayo replied as lately as the 11th instant. He expressed the opinion of the Government that the adoption of such sug l gestions would materially alter the character of the pro posal made by him in the House of Commons. The Government wished the clerical and lay elements should. be adequately represented in the governing body, the offices being filled up by a system of free election. In the first place the appointment of all heads of colleges should be subject to the approval of the university governing body. And as to the Chancellor being an, ecclesiastic, that would be inconsistent with one of the fundamental principles of such an institution, namely, that such a dignitary should be elected by the university at large. The Cabinet were not prepared to add to the number of the hierarchy on the board, nor could they consent to the future Chancellor being elected by the Senate, and not by Convocation. He, ought to be the choice of the whole body of graduates. The six lay members of the Senate should also be elected by Convocation. Lastly, the proposition that the episcopal members of the Senate should possess any power greater than that of their lay colleagues was one which her Majesty's Government could not entertain.. To this Dr. Leahy replied on the 16th inst., in the fol lowing curt terms : " My Lord, I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter respecting the changes in your plan of a Catholic University, suggested by the Right Rev. Dr. Derry and myself. I have. ke,. ‘ PATRICK LEAIIY." With this the matter drop% TERRIFIC EARTHQUAKE IN ma SANDWICH ISLANDS. A telegram, dated San Francisco, May 7, says : "The barque Comet, from the Sandwich Islands, brings .accounts of a terrible volcanic eruption by Mauna Loa, which began its demonstrations on March 27. On the 28th 10) earthquake shocks were felt, and during the two weeks following to April 13, 2,000 earthquake shocks occurred. At Waischina the earth opened in many places, - and a tidal wave sixty feet high rose over the tops of the cocoa trees a quarter of a mile inland, sweeping human beings, houses, and everything moveable before it. A terrible shock prostrated churches and houses, and killed many persons. In all 100 lives were lost, beside a thousand horses and cattle. The craters vomited fire, rock, and lava, and a river of red-hot lava, five or six miles long, flowed to the sea at the rate of ten miles per hour, destroying everything before it, and form ing an island in the sea. A new crater two miles wide opened, and threw rocks and streams of fire a thousand feet into the air, and from it streams of lava rolled to the sea. At one time, the illumination was visible at night fifty miles distant. The lava has pushed out from the shore one mile. At Waischina, three miles from the shore, a conical island rose suddenly, emitting a column of steam and smoke, while the Kono packet was passing, spattering mud on the vessel. The greatest shock occurred on April 2, a great shower of ashes and pumice. During the great shock the swinging motion of the earth was dreadful, so violent that no person could stand. In the midst of this tremendous shock an eruption of red earth poured down the mountain, rushing across the plain three miles in three minutes, and then ceased. Then came the great tidal wave, and then the streams of lava. The villages on the shore were all destroyed by this wave. The earth opened under the sea and reddened the water. The earth eruption swallowed thirty persons, and the sea many more. Dreadful suffering and terror prevailed in the district, and the whole region was affected. The sloop Live Yankee has been despatched with provisions, &c., to rescue and relieve." THE CHURCH IN THE WEST INDIES AND THE CONSOLIDATED FUND.—The text of a bill intended to re lieve the Consolidated Fund from the charge of the salaries of future bishops, archdeacons, ministers, catechists, and schoolmasters in the West Indies has been published. At the present time the charges upon that fund amount to £14,000 for the bishops and archdeacons, and £6,300 for the inferior clergy and other persons referred to. The bill now before the House, which was brought in by Mr. Adderley and Mr. Sclater-Booth, provides that no person hereafter to be appointed to any of these several offices shall be paid out of the Consoli dated Fund. It is to be prospective in its operation, and will not interfere with the interests of the existing in cumbencies. In the Scotch Court of Session, Lord Barcaplo has decided an important question between two classes of preference shareholders of the Great North of Scotland Railway Company. The Company's Act declares that the dividends attached to the new preference shares at q per cent. shall rank parri passu with the dividends on the original f per cent. preference shares. This is held by his lordship not to affect the amount of the dividend for which each party ranks ; and that the original preference shareholders have no preference over the new preference shareholders for arrears of dividends in ranking on the free profits of subsequent years. The Lord Ordinary' also held that the company could not legally resolve to pay dividends by allotments of capital stock. The judgment is to be carried into the Inner House. _ " THE PRINCE OF WALES AT LEEDS. —His Royal Highness retired from the mayor's and Mrs. A. Fairbairn's ball, at a quarter-past three on Wednesday morning. He then took a most gracious leave of his host and hostess, and acknowledged with much condescension and . cordiality the enjoyment he had derived from their splendid ent,Ttainment. The public were admitted to the Town Ilan to see the internal a rangements which bad been y m o ao e n n d e d t v o e f ll made for the mayor's ball, and in everything they recog. raised the liberality and good taste which had actuated their mayor's desire to give the Prince of Wales a welcome.
