ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.

The circumstances under which subsc►iptions are now
invited by this Company, to a further issue of capital, are
peculiarly favourable fur investors, and present the
strongest evidence of the sound and profitable character of
the undertaking, to complete which an a.iditional outlay
is required.

As they are now planned, and being constructed, the
canals will, when completed according to the estimates of
many engineers most competent to judge, including Colonel
Ruudall and the present chief engineer of the Company,
convey water fur the Irrigation of about 700,000 acree.
Adopting a temporary rate of charge for irrigation, and
estimating the returnSirOin navigation tit 'the very niedee
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.),
awl allowing the high charge of five per dent. for repairs,
maintenance, establisnment,.&c., the net returns from the
sections now to be completed would be altogether twelve
per cent., which, by the re-establishment of the original
rate of five rupee s per acre for irrigation, would be made
up to twenty-one per cent. net.
These are figures the_ accuracy of which can be easily
demonstrated, and any inquiry made regarding them at
the Company's offices will be at once replied to, and every
information given.
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 alone, 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
channels necessary to convey the water to their fields
with earnestness; further, that in the vicinity of the high
level canal meetings were being held by the Zeinin-
dars, and other unmistakable signs exhibited Ciat
the same favourable state off affairs there as
that connected with the Kendrapara Canal was
a mere matter of a short time, and that before the coming
season large demands will be made for water. Upon the
Midnapore Canal the effect of the reduction of the water-
rate, &c., had not, at the end of March, been thoroughly
ascertained, because the irrigating portion of that canal
had been closed for some time previous for construction
purposes, and had then only been reopened, but the chief
engineer of the Company and the executive engineer in
charge reported that applications for water, in addition to
the 4,000 acres supplied last year, had commenced and
were confidently expected to be added to largely.
The' works already constructed ha4e now entered upon
theiestage of revenue, and they offer to capitalists not 'only
a safe investment, but ono which will, most assuredly, be
very profitable ere long; and here it may be added, as
confirmatory of this dinost immediate prospect, that the
portions of the works now in haud remaining to be exe-
cuted, consisting mainly of channels fur the distribution of
the water, evneeeeeemrity be the easiest of constreetion, ris
well as the most productive, and will ede materially to the
percentage of returns on the whole outlay.
There is also another feature 'of great importance, which
must nut be omitted in the consideration of the fitness of
this undertaking; for an investment. By the contract it is
expressly provided that the Company shall be paid 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 to the
Company for such water shall be, the price charged to the
cultivators, and shall be fixed so as to represent a fair
charge for the water to the parties using it. With refe-
rence to this stipulation, it has been acknowledged 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, forming as it does a cer-
tain and safe guarantee of payment for every portion of
the water supplied for irrigation.
It haa been determined by the Directors to limit, at any
rate for the present, the expenditure to about £130,000
per annum, whereby they will be enabled to make all fue
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 required capital partly in shares
of .£l.O 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 aunt at once, and to be relieved from future
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, b and 9, Queen-street,piace, South-

or at the Offices of the Company. The Deposit will be

ceded to.

Two lIEASANTS,
PARTRIDGES, and
PCLULTRY.—Landod Proprietors, Gentry, &c., of
the United Kingdom wishing to rear Game for 1868 and
to be successful, are respectfully asked to send six stamps
for Mr. CHAMBERLIN'S new BOOK, containing 200
certificates of the utility of his FOOD. J. 0. supplies the
Crowned Heads of England and France and the chief of
the aristocracy. By the use of his "Spanish Meal" any
quantity of birds can be raised.
The hundreds of thousands of heads of Game reared on
my system during the last ten years proves its utility ; the
loss from every cause has not averaged three to the hun-
dred. Gapes and Roup (the two most fatal diseases which
attack game). the birds have been and always are free
from. This is attributable to their robust constitution
and excellent condition. Pheasants fed on my food show
their beautiful plumage with hardness and closeness of
feather to the greatest advantage; they cannot be sur-
passed.
The magnificent Foreign and English Pheasants at the
Zoological Society's Gardens, London, and his Imperial
Majesty's Pheasantry at Compiegne and St. Germains, are
fed with my food.
