And sec ndly. Two para.-m.ols from r. minute recorde 1
1)3, Sir P. P. Grant when Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal,

" The magnificent province of Behar which would be
admirably watered by Captain ifekins' prejected canal
from the Soane. The cost hero would certainly (to very
mulch I.ess (than at Cuttack). an I the returns may rea-
sonably be expected to be much more secure, because we
know, as a haat, the value of irrigation in Behar. The soil
is batter aril the uatur.tl rainfall is less by half on :in ave-
rae-e, au I mulch less certain in Behar than in ()attack.
Tl'ie most valuable crops are not the raia crops in 11-the-,
and for the most valuable crop: there it is foirel by expe-
rience that expensive Well hri •ati ,u pave, which has not
been proved by experience to be the general case in Ori,sa.
1 venture to recommend this enterprising Company, iu
%thus) success every p .rson connected with India runet
feel deep interest, to c insider Captain IYeceus' scheme of
irrigteion from the Some, for which comple:o plans and
estimates are availal)le, and nothing is wanted but the
money."
By the contract with the Government the Company aro
entitled to reciivo and retairr all profits from the sale of
water fur 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 soutces are to belong to the Com-
pany exclusively.
The scheme of works to b 3 executed has now been
thoroughly investigated and carefully re-planned on behalf
of the Cotnpany, 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 efected, and everything ma to 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 boon thus brought so
much nearer.

The capital has been divided into shares of £lO each,
and stock in sums rang'ng from £l.O upwards, to suit the
convenie.,c3 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 stun 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 b 3 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 be had ; but it is necessary that it should
be understood that no application will be considered, un-
less a deposit of £1 or. each scare, or of 10 per cent. upon
the amount of stock applied for, has been made either to
the Bankers of the Company, Messrs. Ransom, Rouverie,
and Co., No. 1, Pall-mall East, or at the Offiles, 8 and 9,
Queer.-street-place, Southwark-bridge, Loudon, E.C. The
deposit will be returned without de luction if the applica-
tion is not acceded to.
