establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor,
without the delay and difficulty of Govornors' orders, is
wholly dependent for support on voluntary contributions
and legacies.

It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
destioite sick has for a considerable period averaged be-
tween 3,000 and 9,000 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.
Contributions are received by their bankers, Messrs.
Brown, Hansom, and Co., Abchurch-lane ; also by Messrs.
Coutts and Co.; Drununond and Co.; Glyn and Co,;

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 a Iditional outlay
is required.
As they are -new planned, and being constructed, the
canals will, when completed according to the estimates of
many engineers most competent to judge, including Colonel
Ilundall and the present chief engineer of the Company,
convoy 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-
rato total of three per cent. upon the outlay (the present
chief engineer has just reported that he estimates the re-
turns upon the Tidal Canal will be at least ten per cent.),
and allowing the high charge of five per cent. for repairs,
maiuteuance, establishment, &c., the net returns from the
sections now to be completed would be altogether twelve
per cent., which, by the re-establishment of the original
rate of five rupees per acre for irrigation, would be made
up to twenty-end per cent. net,/
' These are Spires the aecuracy of which can be easily
demonetrated, end any inquiry made regarding them at
the Company's odes will be at once replied to, and every
information given.
The prospect of an immediate and extensive spread of
irrigation, 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, appears that there had then been signed,
connected with the ICendrapara Canal alone, leases (prin-
cipally for 3 years) for about 26,000 acres ; that applica-
tions from cultivators of land uuder 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 Rendrapara 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,"&c., 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
and the executive engineer in
purposes, and had then only been reopened, but the chief

dilichhere it may be added, as
confirmatory of this elinost immediate prospect, that. the
portions of the works now iu baud remitiutug to be exe-
cute], consisting mainly of channels for the distribution of
the water, will necessarily be the easiest of construction, as
well as the most productive, and will add materially to the
percentage of returns-on the whole outlay.
There is also another feature of great importance, which

expressly
tpsrtuesnnsloderytbepturkoolvinxilfdeodit.hat the (3ompany shall be paid for time
water supplied fur irrigation to the cultivators—not by the

and that the price to be so paiA by the Government t) the
Company for such water shall be, the price charged to the
cultivators, and shall be fixed so as to repres 'ut a fair
charge for the water t.o the parties using it. With refe-
rence to this stipulation, it has beau a.;knowledged by the
Government that they alone are liable in respect to the
non-payment for water supplied, so that the Company are
released from all fear of liability to loss of any portion of
their water-rate. The
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 irrig.4iOn.
It has been determined by the Directors to limit, at any
rate for the present., the expenditure to about £130,000
willper 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 during each
year ; at the same time they are enabled by the Act of In-
corporation to issue the required capital partly in shares
of £lO each, and partly in stock divisible into sums vary-
ing from £lO upwards _a

GREAT BRITAIN MUTUAL LIFE
ASSURANCE SOCIETY,

101, Cheapside, London.

Empowered by special Act of Parliament, 25th and 26th
Vic., c. 74.-

Terminating annual premiums and sums assured pay-
able during life.
Peculiar advantages offered to policy-holders by this
Society.
By means of a novel and perfectly equitable system of
apportioning the profits, the bonuses may be applied, first,
by extinguishing the premiums after a limited number of
annual payments, and afterwards in makin., the amount of
the policy payable during the lifetime of the assured.
The holder of a policy effected at the ordinary rate of
premium for an assurance payable at d ath only has thus
the option of securing in combination the two most im-
portant advantages which have of late years been intro-
duced into the system of life assurance, and this without
any addition to the amount of his annual premium. These
two advantages are, first, a "Free" or " paid-up" policy ;
and, secondly, a sum assured payable on his attaining a
given age, or earlier in the event of his decease.
The adoption of this plan, peculiar to the Great Britain
Society, removes the only two objections which have been
urged against the system of assurances payable during
life, viz.:—the high rate of premium, and the possibility
that, through an unfavourable change in his circumstances,
the policy-holder may be unable to continue his payment
until the sum assured becomes due. _

By the plan now introduced the premiums aro precisely
the same as for an ordinary life assurance, while, by apply-
ing the bonuses in the first instance exclusively in extin-
guishing the annual premium the policy is rendered secure
at the earliest possible period ; and, this all-important ob-
ject attained, the subsequent bonuses are then applied from
time to time to shorten the interval at which the sum as-
sured itself becomes payable.
It is scarcely necessary to point out that a policy, the
premiums upon which cease atter a given number of pay-
ments, increases in value much more rapidly than an or-
dinary life assurance, and also affords a more complete
security in the event of the assured requiring a temporary
advance from a banker or private friend.
By the unusual facilities now offered the Directors be-
lieve that they have succeeded in affording to the policy-
holders of this Society, in the most simple, economical, and
convenient form possible, a system of assurance whereby
a provision for self in old age is combined with a provision
fora family in the event of premature death.

By order of the Board of Directors,
ANDREW FRANCIS, Secretary.
