ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.

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 figures the, accuracy of which can be easily
demonstrated, and 'any iuquiry made regarding them at
the

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

'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
,
cultivators, and shall be fixed so as to repress eit a fair
charge for the water t.O the parties using it. With refe-
rence to this stipulation, it has boon a.;knowledg,eil 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

tain and safe guarantee of payment for every portion of

It has been determined by the Directors to limit, at any
rate for the present, the ex
penditure 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 £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 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 instalments 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, London, E.O.
(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 el on each share, or of ten
pounds per cent. upon the amount of stock applied fur,
has been made either to the Bankers of the Company,
Messrs. Ransom, Bouverie, and Co., No. 1, Pall Mall Easy,
or at the Offices of the Company. The Deposit will be
returned without deduction if the application is not ac-
ceded to.

Messrs. HOBBS, HART, and CO. call the special atten-
tion of BANKERS, GOLDSMITHS, JEWELLERS, and
others in possession of valuable property, t o their NEW LY-
PATEN TED SAFE, which is so constructed as to be im-
pregnable against all the artifices of the BURGLAR in the
use of tht drill, the wedge, the screw, or the crowbar, by
having its sides and angles held together by a systom of
Tubular Dovetailing, instead of the old practice of riveting;
the Tubes by which they are held together being filled by
molten iron, so as to form a homogeneous mass, with the
wedges of the Safe overlapping each other within the
Tubes. The Doors are also protected by a newly-invented
Lock, which is invulnerable against the most skilled class
of burglars as well as the most scientific mechanicians.
