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 are now- planned, and being constructed, the
canals will, when completed according to the estimates of
many engineers most competent 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-
turns upon, Tidal.Caual will be at least paper cent.),

Set:kik:4lB.ow to 'be.cemplethewotild be alfogether twelve
per cent., vcihinli, by the re-establishment of the original'
rate of five rupees per acre for irrigation, would be made,
up to twenty-enia per cent. net.
These. are figures theeaMtracY of which can be easily
.demonstrated, and any :inquiry made regarding them at

:oefin.ia s will at once replied to, and every
The'prospect of au immediate and extensive spread of
irrigatipn, 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 thou 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 Zemin-
dars, and other unmistakable signs exhibited that
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, &e., 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
charge engineer
reportedof the
thatCo
a 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
Company
and the executive engineer in
ications for
their stage of revenue:and they offer to capitalists not only
a safe investment, but one which will, most assuredly, ba
very profitable ere long; and here it may be added, as
of channels for the distribution of
confirmatory of this almost imtnediate prospect, that the
portions of the works now in hand remaining to he exe-
cuted, the easiest of construction, as
epucerloadisnaulic)l.tlrve, and will add mater;ally to the
tcs,:tlelwitt,astcetoirnleswilsliitloilnsngt
percentage of returns on the whole outlay.
There is also another mature of great importance, which
must not be omitted in the consideration of the fitness of
this undertaking- for an investment. By the contract it is
expressly provided that the Company swill be paid for the
water supplied for irrigation to the cultivators--not by the
cultivators themselves—but by the Government of India;
awl that the price to be so paid by the Government. t ) the
Company for such water shall be, the price charged to the
cultivators, cud shall be fixed
so as to represent a fair
charge for the water t.o the parties using it. With refe-
rence to this stipulation, it has been a.;knowledged by the
now:paymentfor Water.mippliea,
so that the Company are
released from rril-feai of 'liability to loss of any portion of
I,lone are liable in respect to the
their Governmentw
t water-rate. at the 4. t It'hetley
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 irrigatio.
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 daring each
year ; at the same time they are enabled by the Act of In-
corporation to issue the required capital partly in share's
of £lO each, and partly in stock divisible into sums vary-
ing from £lO upwards Plan which will suit the con-
venience of those who desire to limit their liability to
a fixed stun at once, and to be relieved from future
calls, and also those who may prefer to pay the amountasy ins
of capital held by them by e • talments in the shape
of calls.

LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
