l'heenly drawback ta.doin., this is the risk of misleading
capitalists and raising mistrust of such investments.
the present instance na such -risk need be appre-
hended, for there •is evident throughout Colonel Dickens'
•report a most conscientious endeavour to anticipate the
maxim in cost of the work."

And see ndly. Two paragraphs from s minute reeordel
by Sir P. P. Grant when Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal,
viz. :-

" The magnificent province of Behar which would b..
admirably watered by Captain Dickens' projected canal
front the Soane. 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 Cuttack.
The most valuable crops are not the rain crops in Behar,
and for 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
whose success every person connected with India must
feel deep interest, to consider Captain Dickens' scheme of
irrigation from the Soane, for which complete plans and
estimates are availa'ole, and nothing is wanted but the
money."

By the contract with the Government the Company are
entitled to receive and retain all profits from 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.
pang exclusively.
The scheme of works to be executed has 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 m
making preliminary surveys, plans, &c., all of which have
been effected, and everything made ready for immediate
constructive operations, a great advantage not possessed
heretofore by any other undertaking of a like character,
because 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
convenience 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 have been already allotted in India.
The share 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 be 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 bo had ; but it is necessary that it should
be understood that no application will bo considered, un-
less a deposit of £1 on each snare, or of 10 per cent. upon
the amount of stock applied for, has been made either to
the Bankers of the Company, Messrs.f Ransom, Bouverie,
