without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is
wholly dependent for support on voluntary contributior.s

addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be-
tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly.
The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the
benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of
containing several hundred more beds had the Committee
the requisite funds to maintain them.

• ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.
The following paragraphs are extracted from a despatch
to the Secretary of State in Council, dated March 10,1862,
recommending that the above project should be given to a
private company, which despatch was signed by the late
Lord Canning as Governor-General, and by the whole of
the Governmental Council, viz.:—
"His Honour the Lieu enant-Governor considers that
it (the Soane Canal projectr? holds out better prospects
that it would be good for
both the East India Irrigation Company and for the coun-
trythan the Orissa scheme, an
if the Company 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
great works works of the country, that
others in India to which private capital should be invited.

initiative
The only 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'
r9port a most conscientious endeavour to anticipate the
pltahnisnin a
maximum cost of the work."

from the Soane. The cost here would certainly be very
much less (than at Cuttack), and the returns may rea-
sonably be expected to be much more secure, because we
know, as a fact, the value of irrigation in Behar. The soil
is better and the natural rainfall is less by half on an ave-
trtbapynrot-CvGaiieeairtionf
rage, and much less certain in Behar than in Cuttack.
The most valuable crops are not the rain crops in Behar,
and for the most valuable crops there it is found by expe-
rience that expensive Well Irrigation pays, which has not
been proved by experience to be the general case in
Orissa."

The scheme of works to be executed bas boon tho-
roughly investigated and carefully re-planned on behalf
of: the Company, and particulars submitted to and ap-
proved by the. Government, so that there will be no delay
in making preliminary surveys, plans, &c., all of which have
been effected, and everything trade 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 tn sttms ranging from £lO upwards.
Some shares baNe been already allotted in India.
The shale 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 cad'
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 bo considered, un-
less a deposit of £1 on 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, Bouverie,
and Co., No. 1, Pall-mall East, or at the Offfles, 8 and 9,
Queen-street-place, Southwark-bridge, London, E.C. The
deposit will be returned without deduction, if the applica,
Wiz i§Aot acceded to.
