nTd he er t a greatkn g
svalueeTe nature of "The Behar
contract to this Company,
have, during the last eig t or ten years, been so well
and favourably discussed in England and throughout
prbTising
India, first by the Government and then by the Com-
pany's officers, and are- now so generally known,
that any statement which the Directors might add upon
the subject would be superfluous ; they, therefore, limit
themselves to an assurance that they are satisfied it pre-
sents a safe, sound, and profitable investment; and, unhe-
sitatingly, solicit subscriptions towards the requisite
capital; at the same time they quote, as confirmatory of
their own judgment, the following: _
Firstly. An extract from a despatch to the Secretary of
State in Council, dated March 10,1862, recommending that
tho Soano Canal project should be given to a private com-
pany, which despatch was signed by the late Lord Can-
ning as Governor-General, and by Sir Henry Bartle Frere
(since Governor of Bombay and now a member of the
Council of India in England), Sir Cecil Beadon (after-
wards Lieut.-Governor of Bengal), General Sir Robert
Nanier (noW'coinmanding tbe.forces in Abyssinia), Samuel
Laing, Esq.:, M.P. (then the Finance Member of Council for
India), and the lion. W. Ritchie, being the whole of the
Governmental Council, viz.:—
" His Honour the Lieu enant- Governor considers that
it (the Soano Canal project) holds out better prospects
than the Orissa .scheme, and that it would be good for
both the East India Irrigation Company and for the coun-
try if .the Compa.sy were to adopt this instead of the
other; but the projectors prefer that originally selected by
them.
‘1 We have long regarded this scheme as one of all
others in'lndia to which private capital should be invited:

initiative in planning the great works of the country, that
they are so placed before the public that they can be dis-

Modern Natural Science," by Frohschatnmer, and
" Fifty Theses on the Church in the Present Age,',
by Michelis ; also the Italian ones—" The Middle

retracted and publicly asked pardon.
The Bishop of Exeter, with that disposition to do
prompt justice and repress a real grievance which
has ever characterised him, has suspended from
duty the Rev. George Henry Parminter, rector of
St. John and St. George, Exeter, whose disgraceful
conduct while intoxicated was the subject of a pro-
test by his parishioners at a vestry meeting last
week. The church was re-opened yesterday (Sun-
day), and. services conducted,' both morning and
evening, by a clergyman temporarily appointed.—

At the fetes of Orleans General Fleury presented
to the Emperor a young officer, a descendant of the
brother of Jeanne D'Arc. It is computed that there
are at least seven persons in France who are related
to the same notable personage—Madame Albertine
Grauthier D'Arc, widow of the late Edouard De
Julienne, formerly advocate at Aix, and their three
children, M. 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
'Japery D'Arc, and Madame Bouchet RiviereD'Arc,
born of Julienne ; then MM. 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 2lfoniteur de l'Algerie of the 6th of May,
Nlarshal 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. A critic in
the 14 igaro computes that, as there are in
France 38,000,000 s)nls, a similar proportion. of
crime would show 11,400 twarltrs a year, a state
of thin 44 which, 111 olv.erves, " goas ferait re-

THE DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF GRAFTOT.—Dr.
Sawyer, Bishop of Graf ton and Artni late, New
S ntth Wales, 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 fresh and the sails
set, near the end of Elizabeth Island a sudden gust
of wind upset the boat: The bishop's son was
asleep, an I was not seen after the accident.
Creighton attempted to rescue the bishop, blt was
seized by the servant, who held on to him. The
bishop was never seen again. The survivors were
picked up by some boats which arrived just in time
to rescue_ them.
The Emperor of Austria has sent a slim of 2,000
florins to the committee at Trieste engaged in col-

peror Maximilian. The Empress Charlotte has
transmitted 1,0001 ; the Arch duke Francis-Charles,
1,5001 ; the Archduchess Sophia and the Arch-

The Figaro states that communications have at
length been opened between the French and Italian
Governments with a view to rid Paris of the little
Italian itinerant musicians, who, as is known, are
exploited by a set of idle vagtbouds, who beat
them severely if they do not briug home a certain
amount of money. Arrangements have been made
t.) 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

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 broughtbefore the magistrates at the Guildhall,
who considered it a strange mode of disposing of
a family. The little ones were taken to the
workhouse. The father was eventually discoverA
at Dartmouth ; he was penniless and seeking work.
He had been separated from his wife for some
lime. The children are still in the workhouse.

The Record prints an account of a meeting of

object at present appears to be to educate and send
forth upon the newspaper world 200 Protestant

" the machinations of the Jesuit newspaper
reporters in the galleries of the I-lou3es of Lords
and Commons."
