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 aro now planned, and being construtted, the canals will, when completed according to the estimates of many engineers most competent to judge, including Colonel Rundell 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 the Tidal Canal will be at least ten per cent.), and allowing the high charge of five per cent. for repairs, . maintenance, establishment, &c., the net returns from the Sections now , t6'lesi Completed, Would, be altogether twelve per cent. i which, by the reestablishment.of the original rate of five rupees per acre for irrigation, would be made tip to twenty-one per cent. net. These are fi gure s the, accuracy of which can be easily demonstrated, and 'any iuquiry made re gar di ng th em a t the eGo a mp e a n given. ny's offi ce s will be at once repli e d t o , an d every inforinti 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 aloue, 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 ft32:13 Signs off affairs there as channels necessary to conv e y the water to their fields With earnestness; further, t hat i n the vicinity of the high level canal meetings were bei ng 'e held ted fiat ld ebxyhitbhieZemina tdialers, sameand otheruniuist 4 favourable that connected with the liendrapara Canal was a mere matter of a short time, and that before the coming season large demands will be made for water.

'There great importance, which must not be omitted in the consideration of the fitness of this undertakinir for au investrixeut. By the con' ract it is expressly provided that the Company snail b, laid for the water supplied for irrigation to the cultivators--not by the cultivators themselves—but by the Government of India; and that the price to be so paid by the Government te the Company for such water shall be, :he price charged to the , cu lti va tors, and shall b e f i xed so as t o repress eit a fair c harge for the water t.

The value of the foregoing arrangement can hardly be too , highly . pr i zed cer tain and safe guarantee of p a y m ent for every portion of the water supplied for irrigation. forining as it does a It has been determined b y t he Di r ectors to limit, at any r a te for the present, th e ex penditure to about £ 130 , 000 per annum, whereby they will b e e nabled 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 requires 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 desir e to limit their liability to a fixed sum at once, and t o be relieved from future calls, and also those who m ay 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 e ith er of t h e acco mpanying Forms to the Company's Offices, 8 and 9, Q u een-street -place, South wark-bridge, London, E.O .

By the contract with the Government the Company are entitled to receive and retain all profits from the sale of • water furl rrigation, 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 aro 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 the Government. There will be no delay in making preliminary surveys, plans, &c., all of which have been effected, and every thing made ready for immediate constructive operations, a great advantage not possessed heretofore by any other undertaking of a like character, bnauso 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 convenio :co 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 haw) been already allotted in India. The shale 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 he 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.

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 Lowery D'Arc, and Madame Bouchet Riviere D'Arc, born of Julienne ; then MNI. 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 Moniteur de P Algerie of the 6th of May, Marshal 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.

THE DENTII OF THE BISHOP OF GRSFTON.—Dr. Sawyer, Bishop of Graf ton and Arrnilale, New Smith \Vales, 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 fnsh and the sails set, near the end of Elizabeth Island a sadden gust of wind upset the boat: The bishop's son was asleep, and was not seen after the accident. Creighton attempted to rescue the bishop, bat was seized by the servant, who held on to him. The bishop was never seen again. The survivors wire picked up by some boats which arrived just in thus to rescue them.

Arrangements have been made to 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 brought before the magistrates at the Guildhall, who considered it a strange mole of disposing of a family. The little ones were taken to the workhouse. The father was eventually discovered at Dartmouth ; he was penniless and seeking work. He had been separated from his wife for some time. 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 1.1011.3 CS of Lords andCommons.'' fourteen or fifteei . ago, is sted 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 pit-head an enormous " bing" of coal was accunt, :ated, and as the loading bank led into it, the coal soon be. came ignited. Meanwhile information was sent to Dtriferni iine. The fire engine was inanediatelyturned out, and Captain Westwood and oth,:r menibcrs of the fire brigade proceeded o the pit, at m 1 c'l they arrived at six o'clock. 'Thn file .ens by that time rather increasing than abating, notwith standing the great efforts that were being put forth. Large numb( r; of people flocked up from Dunfermline, and t:etween s:x o'clock and nine o'clock there were 'nearly two thousand spectators. The engine was soqn put to work ; but tl cr.: was a great scarcity of 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 " bing " 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. LAW AND POLICE. SENDING DISEASED MEAT TO MARKET.-At the Guild. ball, Z homas Sharp, a butcher, residing at Maruhull, Dorsetshire, was summoned for sending the carcases of two cows to London for sale, such being enfit 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 lie sent a diseased cow. In this instance the animal was bought for 308., 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. AnsoN BY A \Wolin—At the Clerkenwell 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 soner and her husband occupied the front room of the house in question, and for some 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 been 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 Cunningham, 24 G Reserve, being called, the landlord, Mr. James builder, of 117, St. Jan-street, gave the prisoner into custody on the charge of setting fire tollie house, and she then said it was all right, and that shc knew all about it. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said, I had delirium tremens 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 ( a hem as well as I can see you now. It is the third time that I have had delirium tremens." Mr. Cooke committed the prisoner to the Central Criminal Court kir trial. hfrORTANT DECISION UNDER THE FACTORIES AcTs.— At the South Shields Petty Sessions, Messrs. Palmer and Co., Jarrow, was summoned, in on the information of Mr. William Cl. i 3 tor, 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 shewing 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 magistratcsretired, and 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 CHURCH.—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 mutt of the Irish Church were unanimously adopted.
