neonly drawback to doing this is the risk of misleading
capitalists and raising mistrust of such investments.
" In the present instance no such risk need be appre-
hended, for there is evident throughout Colonel Dickens'
report a most conscientious endeavour to anticipate the
maxinv,m cost, of the work."

And sec ndly. Two paragraphs from a minute recordei
by Sir P. P. Lirant when Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal,
viz.:-

" The magnificent province of Behar which would be
admirably watered by Captain Dickens' projecte,l
from the Sown-.. The cost here would certainly be very
touch hiss (than at (.'uttack), and the returas may rea-
sonably be expected to be much more st.cure, because we
km)w, as afa et, the value of irrigation in Daher. The soil
is better and the natural rainfall is loss by half on an ave-
rT,O, and much less certain in Behar than in Cutteek.
W.. most. valuable crops are not the rain crops in Behar,
and for the most valuable cropi there it is found by expe-
rience that expensive Well liTigatlm pays, which has not
been proved by experienCe to be the general case in Oris.sa.
"I venture to recommend this enterprising Company, in
whose success every person connected with India must
feel deep interest, to consider Captain Dickens' scheme of
irrisation from the Soane, for which complete plans and
estimates aro availajle, and nothing is wanted but the
money."

• Dythe contract with the Government the Company are
entitled to receive and retain all profiti front the sale of
water for irrigation, until the dividends pail 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 bas now been
thoroughly investigated and carefully re-planned on behalf
of the Company, and particulars submitted to and ap-
proved by ~he Government. There will be no delay in
making preliminary surveys, plans, &c., all of which have
been effected, and everything :as le 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 sums ranging from £lO 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 sum down as a deposit on shares, and pay up the
residue by instalments as calls may be made.
Some shares halve 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 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 ou each share, or of 10 per cent. upon
the amount of stock applied for, has been made either to
andth the Bcann.,kNe rns.
