And sec ndly. Two paragraphs from a minute recorded
by Sir P. P. Grant when Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal,
viz..-
•

"The magnificent province of Behar which would be
ailmirably watered by. Capt tin ackens' projected canal
from the Soane. The cost, here would certainly be very
munch I,,ss (than at Cuttack), and time retnrns may rea-
sonably be exported to be mach mere secure, becanse wH
know, as a fact, the vain, irrimtion in lielar. The soli
is better and the natural rainfall is less by half on an ave-
rage, ani much less certain in Behar than in Onttack.
The most valuably crops are not the roin crops in Behar,
and for the most v minimal,, crop: there it is found by expe-
rience that expensive %Veil hrigati-.1.1. pays, which has not
been proved by experence to be the general case in Orissa.
"1 Ventura to reclnnuend this enterprising Company, in
~ hese succoss every persona connected with India must
feel deep interest, to consider C.aptain Dickens' scheme of
irrigation from the Swum, for which comple-s plans and
estimates are available, and nothing is wanted but the
money." . .

By the contract with the Government the Company are
entitled to receive and retain all profits front the sale of
water for 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 sources are to belong to the Com-
pany exclusively.
The scheme of works to be executed has 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 everything inade 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 been thus brought so
much nearer.

The capital has been divided into shares of £lO each,
and stock in stuns ranging from £l.O upwards, to suit the
convenience 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 sutn 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 be sent to the Corn-
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 ou 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 Ofliles, 8 and 9,
Queen-street-place, Southwark-bridge, Loudon, E.C. The
deposit will be returned without deduction• if the applica-
tion is not acceded to.
