And see ndly. Two paragraphs from a minute rPeordoi
1)37 Sir P. P. Grant, when Lieutenant-Uovernor of Bengal,
viz.:-

" The magnificent province of Behar which would be
watered by captain Dickens' proj-cted canal
from the Soane. The cost here would certainly he wry
much less (Oral at Cuttack), and the returns may rea-
=onably be expect...l tobt much more secure, because we
.:now, as a fact, the value of irrigation in Behar. The soil
;,-; bettor and the natural rainfall is less by half on nu ave-
rage, awl much less certain in Behar than in Cnt!ack.
the most valuable crops are not the rain crops in B.,har,
:tui for the most valuable crops there it is found by expe-
rience that expensive Well hrigati •n pays, \cilia) has not
hoen proved by experience to be the general casein Ori,sa.
I venture to recommend this enterprising Compilln
hose SUCC,S3 every person connected with India must
fool deep interest, to consider Captain Dickens' scheme of
rigtvion from the Soane, for which compleut plans awl
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 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 front 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. ell of which have
been effected, and everything trade ready for immediate
constructive operations, a g.reat 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
nd slowly, and so as,
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 haNe been already allotted in India.

u 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
the Rankers of the Company, Messrs. Ransom, Rouverie,
and Co., No. 1, Pall-mall East, or at the Offiles, 8 and 9,
