An I see ndly. Two paragraphs from a minute reclrdel
hS• Sir P. P. Grant when Lieutenant-Governor of Balgal,
v:z.

" The maguificent province of Behar which would be
admirably watered by Captain Dickens' ',rejected can d
Iron, the Saaue. The cost, here would certainly be ver;
much less (: ham at I )wrack). and the returns may rea-
sonably b.! expected to bi much more socero, because we
know, as a fact, the value of irrigation in Behar. The soil
is better aid the natural rainfall is less by half on au ave-
rage, and much less certain in Bihar than in Cnttaek.
The most' valuable crops aro not the rain crops in 13 dy,
and for the most valuable crop: there it.is found by expe-
rience that. expmsi ve. Well liTigatiou pays, which has not
been proved by experience to be the general case in Ori,sa.
"I venture to recominond this enterprising- Company, in
close success every p-rson connected with India must
feel deep interest, to c:insid-r Captain Dickens' scheme of
irrigation from the Soane, for which complete plans and
estimates are availaZtle, 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 furl rrigation, 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 aro to belong. to the Com-
pany exclusively.
The scheme of works to be executed bas 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 in
making preliminary surveys, plans, &c., all of which have
been effected, and every thing made ready for immediate
constructive operations, a great advantage not possessed
heretofore by any other undertaking of a like character,
bnauso 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
convenio :co 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 haw) been already allotted in India.
The shale 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 he 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 be had ; but it is necessary that it should
be understood that no application will be considered, un-
less a deposit of £1 on each share, 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 Offices, 8 and 9,
Queer.-street-place, Southwark-bridge,
.Loudon, E.C. The
deposit will be returned without deduction if the applica-
tion is not acceded to.
