ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.
The great value and promising nature of "The Behar
Undertaking," secured by contract to this Company,
have, during the last eight or ten years, been so well
and favourably discussed in England and throughout
India, first by ,the Government and then by the Com-
pany's officers, and are now so generally known,
that any statement which the Directors might add upon
the subject would be superfluous ; they, therefore, limit
themselves to an assurance that they are satisfied it pre-
sents a safe, sound, and profitable investment; and, unhe-
sitatingly, solicit subscriptions towards tho requisite
capital; at the same time they quote, as confirmatory of
their own judgment, the following: _
Firstly. An extract from a despatch to the Sacr3tary of
State in Council, dated March 10,1862, recommending that
the Soane Canal project should be given to a private com-
pany, 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 C cil Boadon (after-
wards Lieut.-Governor of Bengal), G3noral Sir R )bert
Napier (uow commanding the forces in Abyssinia), Samuel
Laing, Esq., M.P. (then the Finance Member of Council for
India), and the Hun. •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 Compa y were to adopt this instead of the
other ; but the projectors prefer that originally selected by
thorn.

" 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 are so placed before the public that they can be dis-
cussed ill tho light of local knowledge and oxperionoe.
