ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.
The works selected, with the approval of Government,
L3l' first operations, consist of—lrrigating ar.d Navigable
Canals
throughout the rich and extensive r eltas of Orissa
kit Lower Bengal), and the Districts between those Deltas
and the Port and City of Calcutta.
These works have been already investigated by Engineer
Officers in the service of Government, of known ability and
experience, who have pronounced them to be amongst the
their
important, and in promise the most profitable of
'noir character in India; in fact, the present Secretary of
State for India in Council in March last addressed to the
Government of India an official communication, calling
attention to the importance of constructing these very
Works, and stating that her Majesty's Government were
Prepared to carry them into effect as soon as the plans and
estimates were approved by the Local Government. A
desire to see an unguaranteed company established, he
States, led to their concession to this company.
The main sources of profit will be :
Firstly,—The sale of water to the Government for the
irrigation of land.
Secondly.—Tolls levied in respect of the use of the Canals
and Water-ways by the public.
To these may be added as available but subsidiary means
of alditional returns :
I.—The working of the Canals by the Company by the
conveyance of Passengers, Animals, and Goods thereon.
2.—Rent and other income derived from mills and factories
established on the banks of the various channels.
3.—Cultivation and sale of timber and other produce
raised upon the land of the Company. And,
4.—The supply of water for general purposes.
Although these latter are now put forth as secondary
they should by no means be lost sight of—the first of
them has been already ascertained to be highly productive
1.4 India, and by the official accounts of the existing Canals
iil the North-western provinces of Bengal the profits derived
f
Polmills, timber, and bank produce, represent a large per
'entage upon outlay.
Thel4 following returns realised by the Government on ex-
g works of Irrigation in India will afford some idea of
theti highly remunerative character of such works, if selected
"h ordinary judgment.
The works connected with the Coleroon River cost
*,,?1,700, and for sixteen years returned a net profit of £llB
er cent. per annum.
The Fordwak Canal cost £2,700, and paid £5,000 in the
first year. Another canal in Seinde paid 68 per cent. on its
cost during the first year, and a third, which cost £3,600,
Produced £5,000 in the first year.
The Western Jumna Canal has paid £5 per cent., and
Produced a clear surplus of £1,000,000, the cost of constru3-
tion being £81,458.
The works in Maiwara produced a return of 265 per cent.
Per annum.

These are not exceptional instances.
Terms of a very favourable character have been arranged
With the Secretary of State as the basis of a final Agree-
ment, to be made with the Government of India at Calcutta.
It is proposed to limit the issue of capital in the first in-
stance, to the sum of £1,000,000, divided into 50,000 shares
of £2O each, and to take a first deposit of £1 per share
only, with a farther payment of LI per share when the
dal agreement has been concluded • this will, it is believed,
Suffice to support effective operations for the first twelve
months. Of all subsequent calls, full and timely notice
Will be given to each shareholder.

DAVIESON'S EVERLASTING TEETH.-
THE LATEST DISCOVERY.— Mr. EDWARD
pAVIESON, Surg,eon-Dentist, has introduced a material
for the construction of ARTIFICIAL TEETH so extraor-
dinary that nature appears to have made good the ravages of
ju,IME, DISEASE, or ACCIDENT, and when fitted detec-
tion is impossible even though the wearer's mouth be closely
examined. The price is so moderate that it is within the
reach of all, arid it is fitted without springs or other unsightly
fastenings. The removal of stumps is unnecessary, and thus
all pain is avoided. Mr. Edward Davieson Invites one visit
Of inspection to his establishment, which will convince the
most sceptical of the truth and straightforwardness of this
statement. The LIQUID ENAMEL, for Stopping Decayed
Teeth, is ENAMEL WHITE, keep 4 its dolour, and lasts forever. It is invaluable for Front Teeth. Attendance daily
