ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.

The circumstances under which subscriptions are now
invited by this Company, to a further issue of capital, are
peculiarly favourable for investors, and present the
strongest evidence of the sound and profitable character of
the undertaking, to complete which an additional outlay
is required.
As they aro now planned, and being constructed, the
canals will, when completed according to the estimates of
many engineers. most co-apetent to judge, including Colonel
Randall and the present chief engineer of the Company,
convey water for the Irrigation of about 700,000 acres.
Adopting a temporary rate of charge for irrigation, and
estimating the returns from navigation at the very mode-
rate total of three per cent. upon the outlay (the present
chief .engineer has just reported that he estimates the re-
idiSupon'the Tidal Canal will be at least ten par cent.),
and allowing the high charge of five. per cent. for repairs,
maintenance, establishment, &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 rupees per acre for irrigation, would be made
'up to twenty-ono- per cent- net.
sai
'These are figeres the accuracy of, which can be easily
de nio nitrated,n d
any inquiry made, regarding the' at
the Company's of wilfrhe 'at,once replied to, and every
inferneation 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 Zinnia-
dare, and other unmistakable signs exhibited twat
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 have now entered upon
their stage of revenue, and they offer to capitalists not only
a safe, investment, but one which will, most assuredly, be
very profitable Ire long ; and here it may be added, as
cOntirrnatory of this' Imost itumed'ate prospect, that;,the
portions of the works /low in hand remaining to be exe-
cuted, consisting mainly of channels for the distribution of
the water, will necwesarily be the easiest of constructive, as
well as the most productive, and will add materially to the
percentage of returns on the whole outlay.
There is also another feature of great importance, which
roust not be omitted in the consideration of the fitness of
this undertaking for an investment. By the contract it is
expressly provided that the Computs 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
tho parties using it. With refe-
rteregetofotrhisthsetipwualtaetriotn.e,
it has been a.:knowledged 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
tain and safe guarantee of payment for every portion of
prized, forming as it does a car-
the water supplied for irrigation.
It has 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 fu-
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 £lO 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 sum at once, and to be relieved from future
calls, and also those who may prefer to pay the amount
of capital hold by them by easy instalments in the shape
of calls.
Applications for Shares and Stock may now be made by
