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.
The works already constructed have now entered upon
their stage of revenue, and they offer to capitalists not only
a safe investment, but one which will, most assuredly, be
very profitable ere long ; and here it may be added, as
confirmatory of this :tiniest immediate prospect, that the
I portions of the works now in hand remaining to be exe-
cuted, 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.
By the contract it is expressly provided that the Com-
pany 'shall be paid for the water supplied for irrigation
to the cultivators—not by the cultivators themselves
—but by the Government of India. :With reference
to this stipulation, it has been a..iknowleclgod by the
Government that they alone are liable iu 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 irrigation. -
It ilea been determined by the Directors to limit, at any
rate for the present, the exp mdituie to about £130,000
per annum, whereby they will be enabled to make all fu-
ture calls small in amonut and at regular stated periods,
not exceeding on the whole £2 per share during each
year.
Applications for Shares and Stock may now be made to
the Company's Offices, 8 and 9, Queen-street-place, South-
wark-bridge, London, E.C. (where a full Prospectus and
Forms of Application may be had); but it is necessary
that it should be understo :d that no application will be
considered unless a deposit of LI on each share, or of ten
pounds per cent. Upon the amount of stock applied' for,

• 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.:—
a His Honour the Lieu enant-Governor considers that
it (the Soane Canal project) holds out bettor prospects
than the Orissa scheme, and that it would bo good for
both the East India Irrigation Company and for the coun-
try 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
others in India to which private capital should be invited.
" There is this advantage in Government taking the

report a most conscientious endeavour to anticipate the
maximum cost of the work."

andhl raising mistrust of such investments.
Also the following from a minute recorded by Sir P. P
Grant, when Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal, viz.:—
" The magnificent province of Behar, which would be
admirably watered by Captain Dickens' projected canal
front the Soano. 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 batter and the natural rainfall is less by half on an ave-
rage, and much loss 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
borei6a.ns7.oved, experience to be the general case in
Orissa.".
The scheme of • works to be executed has been 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 made 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 boon thus brought so
much nearer.
The capital has been divided into shares of £lO each,
and stock in sums ranging from £lO upwards.
Some shares has° been already allotted in India.
The share capital will bo 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 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 Bankers of the Company, Messrs. Ransom, Bouverie,
and Co., No. 1, Pall-mall East, or at the Offices, 8 and 9,
Queen-street-place, Southwark-bridge, Loudon, E.C. The
deposit willl be returned without deduction if the applica-

SPORTIVG INTELLIGENCE.

EPSOM RAGES.-TUESDAY.

Nothing could well commence more auspiciously than
that gala week during which so many of us keep holiday
on Epsom Downs. The recent ;rain had penetrated the
hard ground, freshened the herbage, and laid the dust.
The latter, by the way, is, perhaps, a somewhat rash as-
sertion, which wo may have to retract to-morrow, but for
the present let it stand on record- There was that perfect
combination of weather—a warm sun and a cooling breeze
—and, above and beyond all, there was just racing enough
to interest and amuse, but not to fatigue.
The attendance was about an average one for the first
day, which generally comprises the business element alone-
Shortly before the racing began the following rather
curiously-worded notice was posted on the board :—" Sir
Joseph Hawley declares to win with Rosicrucian or
Green Sleeve, iu preference to Blue Gown." As Sir
Joseph has always declared Rosicrucian his best horse,
or rather better than Blue Gown, this was done
probably to assert his own judgment over that
of the public, who have persistently stuck to the
latter horse, and have within the last few days brought
him into the position of second favourite. But his reign
was not at an end, and his deposition did not improve his
stable companion's position, as 100 to 6 could have been
obtained about Rosicrucian immediately after the declara-
tion. Tho Craven Stakes looked a certainty on paper for
Gritnston, but, with the usual fortune attending Baron
BothaChild's horses when he does not back them, King
Alfred won very cleverly by half a length. Rarely have
better-looking youngsters been seen in the paddock or at
the post than the 19 who sported silk for the Woodcote.
Three or four could have been "spitted" by a tyro as
looking race-horses all over—Wellington, Brother to
Athena ; Belladrum, by Stockwell—Catherine Hayes ; a
son of Tim Whiffler and Hermione ; Thirlestane, by
Young Melbourne ; and the Crucifixion filly. To further
sift the lot, perhaps Wellington and Belladrum bore off
the palm for good looks, and the latter won so cleverly
that we are warranted in believing Mr. Merry's recent ill-
luck is going to have a turn. The little Crucifixion filly
was favourite, and ran very gamely, but only got third. She
did not seem to act well downhill. The Rous Stakes was an-
other turn-up for the fielders, as Landscape was not in it,
and the three top weights finished one, two, three. Leonie
squandered her field in the Heathcote, and the Reserved
Lawn Stakes fell to Whitby.
The Derby speculation was marked by the continued
firmness of the Danebury mare, the knocking,-out of Spa-
r ctilum, who went to the outer darkness of 30 to 1, the
stationary position of Blue Gown, despite the declaration
above-mentioned, and the little favour shown to Rosicru-
cian. With the great event so near, with the last utter-
ances of all the prophets recorded, and the public mind
made up that Lady Elizabeth must win, we wait in patience
for the morrow. It certainly does look as if the way was ,
clear before her, and we should say it was tho greatest of
" morals," did we not remember that this time last year we
thought the same of Vauban, and to what point of the
racing compass wo turned could not perceive-anything to
beat him. What outsider is to drop from the clouds to-
morrow, to-morrow must show. Neither of Sir Jos. Haw-
ley's trio is now regarded with much favour ; Paul Jones
is shaky ; and Suffolk, despite King Alfred's success, has
receded a little. It really looks as if Danebury and Ford-
ham wore this year to be recouped for their many disap-
pointments.
The Craven Stakes of 10 sovs each, with 100 sous added ;
weight for age; winners extra; with maiden allow-

Sil;nus, with Curfew Bell on his right, got away simul-
taneously, and tan locked together, Grimston lying next,
with King Alfred at his quarters. They ran thus into the
straight., when Curfew Bdl gave way, and the favourite,
half-way up, took his place at the side of Silenus, who
was beaten at the Stand. Here King Alfred came with a
rush, and, heading the favourite, woo very easily by half
a length ; a bad third.

Esher, on the inside, was the first away, and came on
with a clear lead of Camerata, Secrecy, and the favourite ;
to these succeeded, on the right, Seringapatam, Regula,
the Minerva filly, and Little Go to the turn for home.
Here Mr. Hodgman's filly dropped back, and at the dis-
tance the leader was challenged by the favourite, the
Lunen() colt, and Secrecy, the lot running exceedingly
wide of each other to the Stand, when Esher drew away
and won rather clef erly by three-parts of a length from
Adaraanthea and the Lunelle colt, who finished with a
dead heat. Secrecy was fourth, about a neck in their
rear ; Seringapatam fifth, the Minerva filly sixth, Acknow-
ledgment seventh, Little Go eighth, and Bianca next.
Camerata, Magpie, and Merry Monarch were the last three;
the latter was pulled up opposite the paddock, and did not
pass the post. The winner was sold to Mr. Chaplin for
230 guineas.

100 to 8 each agst Juanita, Flower Girl, Wellington, and
Thirlstane.

After several breaks away they were despatched to an
indifferent start, in which Wellington, Maid of Avenel,
and Charon got away upon indifferent terms. The run-
ning was taken up by Antias inclose company with Onyx,
Le Saphir, Delladrunt, and the Hermit:me colt, the latter
lying on the inside. A length or so separated these from
the Crucifixion filly, Tenedos, Flower Girl, Martyr, and
Juanita on the right.. They ran thus to the road, where
the two leaders dropped away, leaving the Frenchman
slightly in advance of the ILA-mien° colt, Flower Girl,
and the Crucifixion f to the half distance, when Bella-
drum came out, and taking a clear lead at the enclosure,
won very easily by a couple of lengths. The Crucifixion
filly, who was cannoned against by Lo Saphir on crossing
the road, finished third, three parts of a length in rear of
her stable companion, Flowerpirl. Tenelos was fourth,
close up, Juanita fifth, the Hermione cult sixth, and Mar-
tyr next. The others were pulling in a Indy, as they
passed the post, the last lot widely spread, comprising
Little Nell, Onyx, Ahtias, Vaubrugh, Defender, Maid of
Avenel, and Charon, the two last being beaten off a
long way.

Lord Ronald was the first away, followed by The Faun
and Warlike, close up with whom came Grey Stocking,
The Palmer, and Landscape, Historian lying in the rear
half-way down the hill, The Faun, overpowering Wilson,
went to the front and led round the turn, but running wide
he took The Skipper with him, thils leaving Lord Ronald
again in advance of The Palmer, 'Grey Stockings, and
King Victor, the latter lying wide on their right. Half-
way in the distance Mr. Naylor's fill dropped back, and
King Victor closing with the leader as they approached
t11:0oua fair rice by stand, and drawing away a dozen strides from home,
three parts of a length, a neck only
separating the second and third. Grey Stocking was
fourth, Clemence was fifth, Historian sixth, Landscape
seventh, and Vortigern next. The last three were Porter's
Knot, the Faun, and the Skipper.
