The returns front 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. ell of which have been effected, and everything trade ready for immediate constructive operations, a g.reat 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 nd slowly, and so as, from all future liability, while others may prefer to pay a smaller sum down as a depo sit on shares, and pay up the residue by instalments as calls ma y be m ade.

The circumstances under which subscriptions are now invited by this Comeau, 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 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 ou tl a y (th e p resen t chief engineer has ju st reported th a t h e est i ma t es t h e re terns alien the Tidal Ca n a l will be at least ten per cent.), d allowing-the high charge of five per pent. for 'fepairs, ap, • • ' eta & would' be altogether twelve, tinainteirinee, Vetablishnt , e., the netretnrns ;from the in tbl e re , - te4 e ' gt.ablishment of the original is per ee%ozi 6 s t , .!%t i c c o i l i r t ,o 9 s, ce t.4;lfen v o rapeeSpgr;a6re for 'irrigation, would be made eanucdouragi y , .. , _ _ ..,,,, c ent: net. - up t twentyrone ,F a : .. - Theie are figures the c uracy of which can be easily demon orated, awl any `incluli'Y , made regarding them at Cempany's aides will be: at once replied to, and every the, information .giveni . tl, • highly encouraging. extensive ng. B s y pr r e e tu p l irrigation, and therefore of . a satisfactory increase upon the existing returns, received on th e 3d of the present month, and dated the reports The prospect' of an i i nl: h e4 igh i 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 • • that of land times ,applica tions from cultivators under the same canal were being received at the rate of from 2,000 to 5,000 acres daily' and that the n atives 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 favoura ble - state off - affairs there as that connected with the liendrapara Canal was a mere matter of a s hort lime, 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 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 e xpected 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, 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 iu 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 return on the whole outlay. There is also another feature of great importance, which 1 recta 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 liJ paid for the water supplied for i rrigati on to the cultivators—not by the cultivators themselves —but by the Government of India ; nd that the price t o b e so paid by the Government to the C o mpany for such water shall be, the price charged to the c ultivators, and shall be fixed so as to represont a fair charge for the water t parties using it. With refe rence.o the to this stipulation, it has been tiAnowledged by the Government that they alone are liable in respect to the non-payment fur 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 f or irrigation. - It has been determi ned bye Directors to limit, at any rate for the present, the eipenditute 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 Wh o l e £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 y easy of capital held by th em by easy instalments in the shape of calls. Applications for Shares and Stock may now be made by filling up and fo rwarding either of the accompanying Forms to the Company's ore I, —ces, 8 and 9, Queen -street - place, South wark-bridge, ondon, 8.0. (where a full Prospectus and Forms of Application may be had); but it is necessary tbat it should be underetOod that no application will be considered unless a deposit of £1 on each share, or of ten pounds per cent.

Ido not mean to impress strangers with the i lea that tickets are eerily obtained ; still it is perfeely pos sible that, in reply to a respec fully worded appli cation addreSsed to the Chamberlain, the Duke de Hassan°, now on leave of absence, in consequence of the death of the duchess, but replaced by M. le Comte de la Ferriere, those desirous of admission will receive tickets, in which ca'e men must pre sent themselves at the chapel door a few minutes before twelve in evening dress —that is, white tic and dress coat ; and ladies in full morning costume. You enter by the Cour dllouneur. Two Cent Gardes in undress uniform—that is, blue tunics without the cuirass, • white buckskins and jacg boots, silver helmet, and musket grounded—are on duty at each side of the chapel door, and point out the way to the vestibule, which is lined by powdered footmen, in green and gold liveries, who take your ticket, and in silence relieve you of any extra coat in which your person may be enve loped, and likewise take charge of your hat. ./i7l3:Beware of -- offering them "'money. 's - in this vestibule there is, moreover, a mysterious personage in faultless black, who quietly takes you in as you pass, and if your general aspect and get up fall beneath his standard of propriety he hints to you in the most polite form of speech that the chapel is,-unfortunately, overcrowded, and in fact, gives you leave to return whence you came. Having passed muster, however, you are shown to your seat, and, if you are knowing, you will have arrived in time, as the front places, and they are few in number, are always given to early corners. You have a few minutes to look about you, and you will remark a master of the ceremonies, in plum-coloured garments, every now and then peeping through half the open door to see that all is in order. The Imperial armchairs of crimson velvet and gold are precisely opposite the altar before each a prie-dieu, on the desk of which lies an open missal. The doors of the pews which fill the circular gallery by this time may be seen to open, and each pew to fill rapidly with Court dignitaries and their families. There is a certain buzz of subdued whispers among the ladies, but your attention is attitrted to the procession of the almoners, each in the hor g eous dress of canons of St. Denis, the Grand Almoner distinguishable by the plainness of his costume, which is that of an ordinary bishop. Suddenly the fold ing doors are thrown open, the Cent Gardes present arms ; you hear the Gentleman usher announce the Emperor, but his Majesty has not yet appeared; the cortge at this instant enters. First come the Emperor's Chamberlains in scarlet and gold uniforms, strongly reminding us of that of our own military men ; next her Majesty's Chamberlains, in blue and gold ; the masters of the ceremonies, in plum-colour ; two equerries, in dark green ; the Marshal Minister, otherwise Comptroller of the Household (Vaillant) ; the General-Commandant of the Palace (Rollin), and the Aide-de-Camp in Waiting. A second time the usher calls out " L'Empereur !" Silence in the chapel ; for his majesty is severe on this point, and does not tolerate the slightest whisper during the service. The congregation rises. The Em peror, Empress, and Prince . Imperial enter— his Majesty in uniform, and wearing the Grand Cordon ; the Empress in morning dress, generally in black, with small black lace mantilla as head dress. The " Kyrie Eleison" at once commences, awl is invariably sung with exquisite taste and feeling, accompanied only by stringed instruments, the accompaniment subordinated to the voices. The Emperor listens with profound attention to the service, most especially following the .reading of the g)spel and epistle of the day. The Empress is Catholic at heart, and fervent in her ecstatic de votion to the forms of her Church. The earliest settlers at Cannes were Lord Brougham, Mr. Leader, and Mr. Woolfield. A scene which is described by the New York Nation as being "awful" took place in the house of Representatives on the inst. A personal quarrel had arisen between Mr. Donnelly, a repre sentative of Minnesota, and Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, one of the oldest members of the House. Mr. Donnelly addressed a long speech to his fellow members, full of vituperation of the grossest kind. The following passage will give a better idea of Congressional eloquence as practised by Mr. Don nelly than any description :—" If there be in our midst one low, sordid, vulgar soul, one barren of mediocre intelligence, one heart .callous to every generous emotion, one tongue leprous with slander, one mouth which is like unto a den of foul beasts giving forth deadly odours ; if there be here one character, which, while blotched and spotted, yet raves and rants and blackguards like a prostitute ; if there be here one bold, bad, empty, bellowing demagogue, it is the gentleman from Illinois." Mr. Washburne retorted by calling Mr. Donnelly " a member who is covered over with crime and infamy, whose record is stained with every fraud, whisky and other frauds—a man who has proved false alike to his friends, his country, his constituents, his politics, his religion, and his God." On the day following this little interlude the subject was again brotight before the house by a third member, and after renewed personalities, Mr. Donnelly asked the Speaker whether it would be in order to invite the house to take a drink, to which there were responses of " Amen," "My whistle's dry," &c. The Speaker appears to have tried to repress this outbreak, but ineffec tually. "We venture," remarks the Nation, "to say that Mr. John Morrissey"—the prizefighter, member for New York—" has never heard in his experience, and he has associated with the worst ruffians of both hemispheres . . . . so much vile ribaldry from the lips of one man, in one place, as the Legislature of this Christian, civilised country, listened to by unanimous consent, last week, from one of its own members, while the chief magistrate was actually on trial in the next room for simple violence and indecorum."

LADVERTISEMENTJ—Rencafoh r estor e onil will doubt the valuable properties of Du Barry's hea r l t th-ring Revalenta Arable Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings it has already received from Invalids whose position had been deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holiness the Pope, whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years of unsuccessful medical treatment.

"It is therefore desirable that every precaution should be taken to ascertain the character of all persons applying for licenses, that the houses are of sufficient value and proper for the business, and that there is a reasonable pre sumption that, if licensed, the occupants may, with in dustry and honest dealing, obtain a living. " Your committee therefore rc..ommend that all applica tins for licenses to sell leer, spirits, wines, cider, or perry by retail be in the first instance made to the jus- Cees in petty ses.sions. after notice to the chief con :table of the rac an.l th • other authorities now required • i. - the filth Geo. e. 61, in re:peat of inns, alehouses, and victualling-houses ; such notice to state the class of trade for which the applicant wishes to be licensed, i.e., hotel, inn, victualling-house, wine and spirit store, refreshment rooms, or beerhonse ; and the discretion at present exer cised by the justices in granting licenses shall be extended to al! licenses to be granted by them. That all licensed houses be closed on Sundays, but 0o prevent inconvenience to the .public, justices, where they see fit, may, in their license, permit houses to be opened on Sundays from one o'clock to three o'clock, and from eight o'clock to ten o'clock p.m. " That in the cases of innkeepers' licenses, and where justices consider that the house is bond fide and reasonably required as an inn for the entertainment of travellers, the justices may accompany the grant of a license with a dis pensation as to hours, as to the whole or part of the house and premises, providing that inch dispensation shall not apply to nor include any tap-room, bar, or other place of public resort for drinking. -- " That all applications for licenses or renewals, or objec tions thereto, shall be heard in open court, and the wit nesses, if necessary, may be examined on oath. "That where application for a license is made for the first time, if two-thirds of the owners or occupiers within 1500 yards object, the justices shall refuse the license, pro vided that the clerk of the justices has received from the persons so objecting at least ten days' notice specifying the objection.

THE UNITED KINGDOM ALLIANCE. The annual meeting of this society has been held in Exeter Hall, the proceedings attracting a crowded audience. Mr. B. Whits M.P., in presiding, alluded to the general election which he said was looming in the immediate future, and trusted their friends would make the question of the Alliance the point on which they would insist on candidates being right who asked their suf frages. Mr. W. Saunders moved, Professor Rolleston, of Oxford University, seconded, and Mr. %Vest, a working man, supported, the following resolution : " That this meeting rejoices that legislation on the amended representation of the people has cleared the way for the consideration by Parliament of measures of social reform, especially for the removal of legalised temptations to intem perance, the gravest question of domestic legislation ; and the meeting earnestly expresses its hope and trust that the working classes, in whose hands much political power is now placed, will render their united and cordial aid in returning representatives who will support the principle of the Permissive Bill." Mr. S. Pope moved, and Dr. F. R. Lees seconded : " That this meeting regards the appalling amount of pauperism, ignorance, and crime, with their consequent taxation, as constituting an intolerable burden on the industrious and sober portion of the community ; and as a vast proportion of these evils is the direct result of the liquor traffic, the meeting cars upon the Government to fulfil the promises of various leading statesmen, by introducing a bill dealing with the whole of the licensing laws, with clauses giving power to the inhabitants of each district to prevent the granting or renewing of licenses within their boundaries, when a large majority may so determine. That the chairman be respectfully requested to forward a copy of this resolution to her Majesty's Prime Minister, to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, and to the Chancellor of the Exchequer." The Rev. F. Kellett moved and the Rev. G. W. IrCree seconded : "That this meeting, being specially interested in the promotion of Alliance principles throughout the metropolis, pledges itself to make use of all suitable means for the spread of correct information, and especially for promoting electoral co-operation in the various constituen cies, with a view to the support of candidates favourable to the Permissive Bill, and legislation of a kindred descrip tion." The three resolutions were unanimously adopted, and a vote of thanks to the chairman closed the pro ceedings. Captain Henry F. M'Killop, R.N., has been selected by the Viceroy of.

CARRYING GUNPOWDER ON A RAILWAY. -A shocking occurrence happened recently on the Conlom miers branch of the Eastern Railway (France). A man named Surdel got into a third-class carriage at Gretz(Seiue et-Marne), taking with him three kilos. of gunpowder for blasting. Shortly after the train had moved on he pro ceeded to light his pipe, when a spark fell upon the packet, and a dreadful explosion took place. A commer cial traveller, who was asleep in the next apartment, was awoke by the noise, and saw the carriage on fire, and Sardel jumping out on to the line. He himself got out on the opposite side, and, making his way along the steps, communicated with the guard, and the train WAS stopped. The unfortunate author of the disaster was taken up so seriously injured that after two days of severe suffering he expired. The carriage was completely consumed. TILE BELIEF WITCHES. 'r The Limerick _Reporter relates the following extraordinary occurrence : During- the sitting of the petty sessions court on Friday cr y was raised by a woman outside. On iagniring into the cause it appeared that a case was Pendin,, in which a man named Roche charged two others named Collins with an assault, and intended to produce his father as a witness. The families of the litigants are closely related, and the mother of the collinses, indignant at the prospect of her sons being sent to gaol, gave expression to ' her feelings in the form of a malediction, praying that when old Roche left the court he might be paralysed. The old man rushed out of court, and owing probably to the shock which his experienced, superstitious equallycurses horror, characteristic.he are w as regarded s :ize d b n y er t v h o e us p syst em easa peasantry with with paralysis in his side, and had to be conveyed to h os . pital. The sequel of the story is The " woman was besought to spit on the old man b e f ore having him removed, to undo her curse, but she refused.' It seems that the race of witches is not yet believed to be „tinct, THE NEW NOYEL. BY TILE AUTHOR OF LADY ALT DLEY'S SECRET, &C. On May 20. Thoroughly Revised. In 3 vols.
