India, first by the Government and then by tho Corn-
pany's offi and are now so cers, generally known,
that any statement which the Directors might add upon
the subject would be superfluous ; they, therefore, limit
themselves to aft assurance that they are satisfied it pre-
sents a safe, sound, and profitable investment; and, unhe-
sitatingly, solicit subscriptions towards the, requisite
capital; at the same time they quote, as confirmatory of
bltyhedilscas itis d u England an
their own judgment, the following: _
Firstly. An extract from a despatch to the Secr3tary of
State in Council, dated 3farch 101862, recominending that
the Soane Canal project should be given to a private corn-,
pang, which despatch was signed by the late Lord Can-
ning as Governor-General, and by Sir Henry Bartle Frere
(since Governor of Bombay and now a member of the
Council of India in England), Sir Cecil Beadon (after-
wards Lieut.-Governor of Bengal), General Sir Robert
Napier (now commanding the forces in Abyssinia), Samuel
Laing, Esq., M.P. (then the Finance Member of Council for
India), and the Hon. W. Ritchie, being the whole of the
Governmental Council, viz.:—
" His honour the Lieu enant-Governor considers that
it (the Soane Canal project) holds out better prospects
than the Orissa scheme, and that it would be good for
both the East India Irrigation Company and for the coun-
try if the ComPs'l were to adopt this instead of the
_other ; but the projectors prefer that originally selected by
them.
" We have long regarded this scheme as one of all
others in India to which private capital should be invited.
"There is this advantage in Government taking the
initiative in planning the great works of the country, that
they,are4o pieced before- the public that they can bo'clis.
