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 comPe tent to lodge, 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 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, Fee., the n e t re t urns f rom t h e sections now to be contpleted would be altogether twelve the re-establishment of the original he„ accuracy of which can be easily rev Olive iupeeS per sire for, irrigation, would be made up to Twenty-one per cent. net. any . pauiry made regarding them at y encouraging. and e s en , s Ostensive spread r r e e a p d o r o t s f tiidt.rhheeicbeli received- C e :e teii s t n s sdo e l p p r i a : ot a r : n y d t a ra ' i h s g e a l a t ti : u ffi r h e d 3r e lid el s e eQ . , s t r6f N' i V tis. ha l l e l - e p satisfactory f e ma c r ot e no p tr l replied in t c o ar , and daas ot every'duptupon, a ihitrilletiOn given. resent The' respect of an immediateblgt, 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 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 bring held by the Zemin dars, and other unmistakable signs exhibited twat 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- P e r n ev rropened, b engineeref water rate, &c., had not, at the end of March, been thoroughly portion of that canal engineer adrp ascertained,b seeesclosed us for construction e p x i ll e C l ted las to t be added to largely. and the engineer of the Company executive in charge reported that applications for water, in addition to year, had commenced and becausehafor t some eo the tn eo irrigating tlyibe e The works already constructed have now entered upon •th weree 4, O confidentlyoo ac r e acres supplied u 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 in hand remaining to be exe cuted, consisting mainly of channels for the distribution of the water, will neeee4elilY be the easiest of construction, as w ell tie the most productive, and will add materially to O.; percentage of returus on the whole outlay. There is also another feature of great importance, which mast not be omitted in the consideration of the fitness of this undertaking for an investment. By the con: ract it is expressly provided that the Company shall bo paid 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 to the Company for such water shall be, the price charged to the cultivators, and shall b e fixed so as to represent a fair charge for the water to the parties using it. With refe rence to this stipulation, it has been a.;knowledged by the Government that they alone are liable in respect to the no n-payment for water supplied, so that the Company are released from all fear of liability to loss of any portion of t h e i r water-rate. Th e y I- a ue 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 for irrigation. 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 £2per share during each year ; at the same time th ey are enabled by the Act of In corporation to issue the requi re d capital partly in shares of £lO each, and partly is 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 of capital held by them by easy ins • t a lments in the shape of calls. Applications for Shares and Stock may now be made by filling up and forwarding either of the accompanying Forms to the Company's Offices, 8 and 9, Queen -street-place, South wark -bridge, Londo n , RC. (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 unless a deposit of £1 on each share, or of ten pounds per cent. upon the amount of stock applied for, has been Tiede either to the Dankers of the Company, Messrs. Ransom, Bouverie, and Co., No. 1, Pall Mall Easy, or at the, Offices of the Comp a n y. The Depesit will be re turned without deduction if the application is not ac ceded to.

" 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 maximum cost of the work." And sec ndly. Two paragraphs from a minute recordel by Sir P. P. Grant when Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal, vii..- " The magnificent province of Behar which would be admirably watered by Captain Dickens' projected canal from the Searle. 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 wo know, as a fact, the value of irrigation in Behar. The soil is better and the natural rainfall is less by half on an ave rage, and much less certain in Behar than in Citttack. Time most valuable crops are not the rain crops iu Behar, awl fur the most valuable crops there it is found by expe rience that expensive Well Irrigation pays, which has not been proved by experience to be the general case in Orissa. " I venture to recommend this enterprising Company, in «hosc feel e estimateset i e : p u , c ar e reesfrom interest,aetv the ae e t i r o i y as i c e a l i r e e t a, a r ea ! d u o e n df r e r G e n f I , o " w il it l ent c nhg t e complete Dickens with etnietlordpi schemedi , i ib ; n t. us t m ti u ni el s de t f 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. I r he 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 everything made ready for immediate constructive operations, a. at advantage not possessed heretofore by any other undertaking of a like character, because the realisation of profits has boot: thus brought so much nearer. The capitil has been divided into shares of £lO each, and stock in sums ranging from £lO upwards, to suit the convenie :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.

CALLAGHAN, 23A, New Bond-street, Corner of Conduit-street, W. THE EASTHORPE TUMULI._ A very interesting investigation has been com pleted by the Rev. James Robertson-, of Appleton le-Street, North Riding, in the westernmost of a group of six tumuli ou Amotherby-moor, Easthorpe, near castle Howard. The mound opened was oval in shape, being 70ft. cast and west by 45ft. north and south in diameters, and reduced to 3ift. high. A previous digging years ago failed to reach the burials. The form and contents of-the barrow were altogether unusual. Very little below the surface of the mound, at the centre, a very large slab of 'Eldenley stone was found, weighing upwards of 21- c wt. This cover rested on a circle of 5 large blocks of Easthorpe sandstone, each weighing about 2 cwt. These covered a central grave of 9ft. diameter, cut into the sandstone rock. In this grave were four burials, all overlying each other, the uppermost one being burnt. In addition to these there were nine other discoveries in varioas parts of the mound, showing a curious combination of inhumed and cre mated interments, surface and grave interments, broken human interments, and bones of bodies so broken that the disagreeable feature of cannibalism was strongly suggested. Some of the bodies not in the central grave had been strangely mutilated, and in a manner that indicated the removal of the flesh before burial. The skulls showed the brachy cephalic type, that of the round heads, or later race of the Ancient Britons. It is worthy of remark that in all the previous diggings in tumuli by the Rev. Canon Greeuwell upon the Howardiaus no other case of inhumed burials was found. The in vestigation showed that the form of the barrow was not caused by additions to a round one, but that in the first instance it had been oval. The central burials may be described thus :—At a depth of 3ft., lying upon a pavement of large stones, some of them burnt, was the body of a young female, lying on the left side, with the head to the south. The body was much contracted, and measured only 2ft. 3in. in length from head to foot (or ancle, the feet being absent). The length of the femur was only 111. in. The left hand of this burial was up to the face. The head was protected by stones, but the pressure of the cover block of Hildenley limestone had greatly damaged the skull, the jaws and facial bones being forced inwards, and some of them protruded through the orbits. The right arm and hand and both feet of this burial were wanting, and the lower jaw showed extraordinary signs of disease, scarcely a single non-carous tooth being found. This is a most unusual feature. One foot to the west of the head of this body was an urn, °mamma:A over nearly the whole surface with vertical markings, made by a sharp instrument pressed into the clay and dragged downwards. The upper surface of the rim was marked with round punctured holes. This urn was standing upright, and, strangely enough, contained the metacarpal and other bones of the right hand (corresponding exactly with those of the left hand of the burial), and the metatarsal and other bones of both feet. The astragali and larger bones of the feet and the humerus and other bones of the right arms have not been found. Here is an evidence of strange and unaccountable mutilation of an unburnt body. Between the knees and the ribs of this body, and partly overlying it, was deposited the imper fectly-burnt bones of a strong and older person, the pieces of skull having been collected together* and placed on the east side of the deposit, and touching the breast of the uuburnt body. Several pieces of skull and one orbit were selected. Oue chipping of flint was found before the face of the unburnt body. In the same grave, but 2A ft. deeper, unon a bed of sand, and covered with sand containing many larger pieces of charcoal, was another body (of much stronger build and in good preservation), laid on the right side, with the head to the south, with both hinds up to the face. The body and the fe ruin formed a right angle, but the heels were brought up close to the sacrum. The whole burial was covered with large flags of stone, and smaller stones were piled round the head. At the back of the head was a large and much worked flint knife, and at 18in. behind the body were found a large flake scraper and another large piece of flint. Below this the grave ngrrowed to Bft. diameter, and at lift. still lower a third unburnt (and of course the primary) burial was found. This was under unburnt body No. 2, and the position was exactly reversed, being on the left side, with head to the north. The head was surrounded with stones, but the skull was much broken and flattened. The right hand was up to the face,and the heels, as with the previous body, were brought right up to the back. The bones were very much decayed, and were lying upon a thick bed of charcoal, and were covered with 9in. of sand, and over all a seam of charcoal. In the grave at the western edge, and 6ft. from the body, was an urn, having lines of punctures, very much broken and in bad condition, and a portion wanting. Around it were several flakes of flint. The other nine disco veries consisted of detached parts of bodies, with urns, flint implements, pavements on which fires had been kindled, and numerous other details com mon alike to most barrows. The tumulus yielded remains in such varied directions that it was com pletely turned over. The five round barrows ad joining remain for future examination. One of the most important recent acquisitions to the South Kensington Museum is a cast of the whole of a window in the west front of the church of the Certosa, at Pavia, which convent was founded by G. G. Visconti, Duke of Milan and Lord of Pavia, 1396. The facade of the church, which comprises on the lowest tier of its lights four such windows as that in question, was de signed by A. Da Fossano, or Borgognone, and begun in 1473. This artist, being a painter by produced what may he called a beauti ful picture, or rather collection of small pictorial designs in terra-cotta, and combined them with no good fortune.

General of births and deaths in London and in thine* other large towns of the United Kingdom : In the week that ended on Saturday, May 16, 4,736 births and 2,864 deaths were registered in London and in thirteen other large towns or the United Kingdom. The annual rate of mortality was 23 per 1,000 persons living. The annual rate of mortality last week was 21 per 1,000 in. London, 25 in Edinburgh, and 27 in Dublin ; 22 in Bristol, 20 in Birmingham, 26 in Liverpool, 27 in Man chester, 25 in Salford, 23 in Sheffield, 24 iu Bradford, 20 in Leeds, 20 in Hull, 21 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and 31 in Glasgow. The rate in Vienna was 34 per 1,000 during the week ending the oth inst., when the mean tempera ture was 6 . 8 deg. Fahrenheit higher than in the same week in London, where the rate was 22. Jo London the births of 1,104 boys and 1,119 girls, in all 2,223 children, were registered in the week. In the corre sponding. weeks of ten years, 1858-67, the average number, corrected for inerease of population, is 2,075. The deaths registered in London during the week were 1,268. It was the twentieth week of the year, and the average mimLer of deaths for that week is, with a correc tion for increase of population, 1,331. The deaths in the present return are less by 63 than the estimated number. The annual rate of mortality was 19 per 1,000 in West London, 20 in North London, 24 in Central London, 24 in East London, and 20 in South Loudon. At the Doyal Observatory, Greenv.-ich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29 . 893 in. The mean temperature of the r'r :11 the week was 57'5 deg., which is C*o deg. above the average of the same week in 50 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day tem perature was 77'2 deg., on Friday, the 15th May. The lowest night temperature was 42'1 deg., on Tuesday, the 12th May. The entire range of temperature in the week was therefore 351 deg. - „ A . _ 1 _ 4 v THE ENGLISH MISSION IN JAPAN. A correspondent of the Times, in a letter dated March 25, records another attack on the English mission in Japan. Sir Harry Parkes and his suite were on a visit to the Mikade, at Kioto. This visit, it may be noted, was organised by the Mikado, who wished to establish friendly relations after the late massacre. Everything was arranged by the authorities to do honour to our representatives. They were lodged in the most gorgeous palace, and treated most mnificently. On the 23rd March they set out instate to visit the i\J ihado. What took place is thus described by the correspondent :—" First came the inspector of the Lega tion esef , rt, riding alongside of a Japanese officer of rank, maned Nakai, who formerly belonged to the Satsuma clan ; Own came the mounted escort ; then Sir Henry Parkes,with Mr. Satow and Coto Shojirio, a high officer of the Foreign Department ; then came a guard of infantry, belonging to the !als Regiment, which is now stationed at Yokohama. As good luck would have it, Dr. Willis, of the Legation, and sonic naval officers whom Sir Harry had invited to among whom were two medical officers, Drs. Purves and Ridings, had accompanied us on foot in order to see us enter the palace. Down a straight street nearly facing our temple, the front Men passed without let or hindrance, but as they turned the corner of the street two or perhapsmore ruffians sprang out upon them with naked swords and attacked them. Nakai leaped from his horse and engaged one, but, catching his foot in his trousers, stumbled, and received a severe cut in the head. At this moment Goto Shojirie, who with the Minister had not yet turned the• corner, perceiving from the backing of the horses and the sem:file in front that there was mischief ahead, dismounted, • and, rushing forward, came to Nakai's rescue, and between them, fighting like brave men, they killed and decapitated the villain on the spot. The other scoundrel, crouching like a tiger, ran swiftly down our line, brandishing his sword like lightning, and cutting right and left in his blind rage. It was like a Malay running a muck, only with a more deadly weapon. I, who was in the rear, saw a distur bance, but at first thought that it was only caused by restive horses until I heard the cry Kill him ! " Stop him ! " Cut him down !' Then the inspector of the escort came cantering down the street and fired his pistol, and some one said, We arc attacked !' I jumped out of my kago just as the pistol went off close to me, and a woman fell down in front of me, frightened, but not hurt. I saw a man rush into the house next me pursued by the inspector and the two officers commanding the infantry guard. I drew my sword and ran to the front, not knowing the extent of the danger and anxious to see whether all our party were safe. As I ran up the street I met one man after another of the mounted escort coming down streaming with blood from their wounds, but not 6, man complained. I found the Minister at the angle of the street with the headless body of one of our enemies at his feet, and ascertained that he was unhurt as well as all our officers. I then rams back to look after the man who had fled into the house, and who, I heard the officer of infantry say, was shot dead. Finding him still alive I stayed byhim, in order, if possible, to protect him, and to revive him sufficiently to subject him to an examination. My object was not to kill him, although, had he attempted to escape, I should have done so. I only kept watch over him until I could put two sentries to guard him, and I had some trouble to save him from the fury- of those who had caught him red handed. Our Japanese guard, I must add, had almost all run away, and only came back when the danger was past. Of course, going on to the Court was out of the ques tion. We had twelve men wounded, including Nakai and Sir Henry Parkes's Japanese groom, besides four horses; and naturally our wounded were the first object. Some time was lost in getting coolies to carry our poor fellows—at least, so many of them as were faint from loss of blood ; for the others, grievously wounded though they were, insisted on sticking to their purses." It is -satisfactory to be able to add that the prisoner has confessed and disclosed two of his accomplices also captured. The Mikado has expressed his deep regret, and having expressed a wish that the visit would yet be paid, it was arranged that it - should take place on the 26th. The reason of the attack seems to be only that the English were foreigners. Menotti Garibaldi, the eldest son of the General, is now visit;hg in Glasgow. The London correspondent of the _Triqt Times says the negotiations between Government and the Irish Catholic bishop; in reference to the charter for the Catholic Univ,..nity have been broken off. There is absolute clisa, grement en seine of the principal points involved in the Captain Moncrciff's new barbette elevating gun carriage lills been officially tried at Woolwich with perfect success. Nine rounds were fired with 141 b. and 221 b. of powder, and 115-pound shot from the 7-inch rifled gun, each recoil bringing the gun down into safe position below the parapet for reloading—that being the result intended to he attained by the simple and effective appli ances of the invention. SINGULAR AFFAIR IN SHROPSHIRE.—The mono tony of daily life in Shropshire is just now considerably enlivened by the gossip arising out of an incident of which the following is a brief recital :—A short time ago a gentleman named Wells, a Wolverhampton ironmaster, purchased an estate at Eaton Mascott, near Shrewsbury, to which he subsequently added some land adjoining the property of the Hon. and Rev. Noel Hill, rector of Berrington, and brother of Lord Berwick. This land lies immediately before the rectory, and a few weeks ago Mr. Wells took it into his head to build two small cot tages as near to the rectory as possible, and with the back premises directly opposite the front window of Mr. Hill's residence, and in full view thereof. As there is no high way or other road near the site, or any probable reason vhy Mr. Wells should select that particular spot for building cottages upon, it was generally believed that he had done it simply " out of spite," and the popular feeling was very strong against him. The twin son of Mr. Hill, the elder of whom is heir presumptive to the title and estates of his uncle, Lord Berwick, lately came of age, and the occasion was made one of great rejoicing by the tenantry and neighbours, upwards of £5OO being sub scribed to the celebration fund. Amongst other festive gatherings, luncheon was given on the lawn in front of the rectory, followed by a ball, at which about 300 persons were present. Mr. Wells's unfinished cottages, stand ing alone in the middle of a green field, form, as has been stated, a prominent feature in the otherwise beautiful landscape ; and the circumstances under which view toe they b had been erected were f reel y discussed by the Corn. pally, and, singular to relate, it was discovered on the A following strict in,llowing rinniorrny islit gbtehbalgt prosecuted,tl ithe Nvi l3ll' l d it i l ) r ee a ll ) Cd down. i tifying the offenders and bringing them to justice ; b u t though the secy et must be known to a large number of it has hitherto ..been faithfully kept. In th e !:1? ' : . inw hile, Mr. Wells has commenced to rebuild the ottages. Large and most important discoveries of coal have been made in Russia. The mines of one district alone are, according to the St. Peterburg journalf Go/os, capable of supplying annually 400,000 tons for 150 to 200 years. Since ISO 4 there have been surveyed in the valley of the Don forty-four beds, the aggregate quantity of which is estimated at 1,234,947,375,000 Vouds, or more than 18,000,000,000 tons.
