The Directors invite applications for the unissued shares 111 this Company, numbering 5,000, for the purpose of d°vern m ll. 3rin out a valuable concession from tho Hanoverian g ent, giving an exclusive right for 30 years to lay iwo and work a submarine telegraph cable between the milt an d H anover i an coas ts, and the same exclusive mnflbt to lay land wires to certain important places in Ger ,,, The number of messages between England and Ger wany in the four years ending 1864 had increased 130 per cent., and in the last two years alone 80 per cent. The Electric and International Telegraph Companyhave agreed to an arrangement guaranteeing a minimum amount C l 2 traffi c by the cable, which, under the conditions of ,the con cession, and under normal circumstances, will prodime minimum annual revenue equal to 15 per cent. on the total am ount of capital required, as certified by the well-known acc ountants, Messrs. Quilter, Ball, and Co. T his minimum is entirely in exclusive of the continually eeasing profits of the business purchased from Mr. titer. Ter The cable will be manufactured and laid down by the egaph Construction and Maintenance Company, who have taken one-fourth of the amount of their contract in sh ares of the Company. It will probably be ready for the transmission of messages by the end of August next. The durability of cables in;shalloiv waters, such as the ° rth Sea, where the Company's cable will be laid, is ?ved by experience. They are as safe, and can be re to almost as easily, as land wires. The existing cables Holland have been laid several years, and that between R over and Calais 15 years, and they continue at the pre sent time in good working order. f There is no promotion money, nor any commission paid °: obtaining the concession, M .

THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of SHAREHOLDERS of tho AGRA and MASTERMAN'S BANK (Limited), held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, E.C., on Saturday, March 17, 1866, GEORGE GORDON MACPHERSON, Esq., Chairman, in the chair. The notice convening the Meeting and the following Report and Statement of Accounts were read : The Directors beg to submit to the proprietary the audited accounts for the year ended 31st December last, and to re port that, after making ample provision for bad and doubt ful debts, the available surplus is £250,254 2s. 9d. Out of this sum the Directors have paid two half-yearly dividends at the rate of 10 per cont. per annum, adding on each occasion a bonus of 15s. per share, thus making the total distribution for the year 16 per cent., free of income tax, on the increased capital of one mil!ion and a half sterling. The balance, £10,254 2s. 9d., is carried forward to profit and loss account for the current year. The Directors have the pleasure to report that during last session an Act of Parliament was obtained for enabling the Bank to divide the original shares of £lOO each into two shares of £5O each. The subdivision has been carried out, and the capital of the Bank now consists of 60,000 shares of £5O each, of which £25 per share has been paid up. The Directors have opened a branch of the Bank in Paris, under the management of an influential Local Board, and they are glad to report that the results from the commence ment have been satisfactory. They have purchased the premises, 10, Place VendBme, for the conduct of the busi ness of the branch, and the cost is added to the property account. The Directors regret the loss which the Bank has sus tained by the death of their much-esteemed colleague, General Duncan Sim. It is not intended to fill up the vacancy in the Direction thus occasioned. The proprietors will have to elect Auditors for the ensu ing year, and the present Auditors, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.

(Signed) " WILLIAM." THE HUNGARIAN DIET. PESTI', March 14. The second address of the Hungarian Diet, re plying to the latest Rescript of the Austrian Em peror, was read in the Lower House to-day. The document is of great length, and occupies several columns of the Hungarian papers, but the follow ing will be found an accurate summary of its con tents : After the introductory paragraph the address promises to submit to careful examination, simul taneously with the report to be drawn up upon common relations, that portion of the Rescript re ferring to common relations, and to the revision of certain parts of the laws of 1848. The arguments next brought forward in support of the request for practical application of continuity of right culmi nate as follows : " If the Executive possessed the right of not exe cuting the laws issued in the regular way by the Legislature, of suspending their efficiency, of super seding them by decrees, and of keeping both law and constitution in abeyance until changed by the ordinary course of legislation, the Executive would in that case practically exercise the right of the Legislature, or the Legislature and Executive would be de facto in the hands of one and the same power. We believe that your Majesty does not intend to uphold absolutism ; but such an union, even if only temporary, of the legislative and executive autho rity, amounts to positive absolutism." The address then refers to the examples of Leo pold 1., Leopold 11., and the Emperor Francis, who restored the Hungarian con stitut ion unconditionally, and passes to the portion of the Rescript in which the Emperor, referring to his religious sentiments, says that the Estates will not fail to see in those scruples the surest guarantee for the constitutional ' v if t fatC4 MaiiPi t lib. r- L h at a v a nterarreil s ese holy feelings, and were it our task to secure the rights and the constitution of the nation for simply the exist ence of a single generation, we could be satisfied as simple citizens with your Majesty's declaration. But it is the duty of the Diet to secure such a guarantee as may not be merely limited to the life of any one mortal, but may be handed down from generation to generation as a legal and unalterable basis for the national rights." Upon the passage of the Rescript referring to the coronation oath the address says : _ " By the fundamental laws of Hungary it is not only the crowned King who is bound to observe the laws and the constitution, but every ruler who as cends the throne by the law of hereditary succession is also bound thereto before his coronation. his obligation is not based simply upon royal diplomas and the coronation oath, but is bound up with the right of hereditary succession. . . . Were this not the case it would be requisite upon every demise of the Crown to make a fresh agreement with the ruler, and then constitutionalism and absolute Government would alternately be the rule. . . . By the political law of Hungary the crowned King alone can sanc tion laws, and therefore, so long as the coronation is not, effected, the laws hitherto existing are legally in force ; intended alterations only acquire validity after the coronation. Were your Majesty, therefore, practically not to recognise existing laws, as new laws can neither actually nor legally subsist before the coronation, all basis for the diploma to be issued prior to that ceremony would he cut away." Referring to the statement of the Rescript, that Articles 2,3, and 4 of the year 1848 were diametri cally opposed to royal rights, the address observes : " We have already expressed our intention not to infringe the legal right of our Sovereign, and we are convinced that it will always be a subject for grave consideration in the issue of laws whether it would be advisable to curtail one royal right. But in the department of executive power the laws themselves settle the royal rights, and it is impossible to bring these latter into collision with the laws To sanction the laws is an indubitable royal right, and the Sovereign makes use of this right when he refuses to sanction any law that would infringe a royalright, but it can never be regarded as a right of royalty to veto the execution of a law already sanctioned." The address proceeds to show that responsible government was a necessary consequence of the equality of rights introduced in 1848, and that the Parliamentary form of government was in no way opposed in principle to the Cabinet system, nay, that the compatibility of both had been practically proved in 1848. It says that the objections of defec tiveness and provisional character raised to the laws providing for the constitution of the counties should only terve as an incentive to improve those laws by means of the Legislature, but presented no valid oTound for not retaining them until they were im proved. The request for the constitution of thelliet, adds the address, referred not me rel y to districts be longing directly to Croatia, and therefore inedttiriel(citilsy_ to the Hutwarian, but also to such as o d a d t the e r s e s - , puted parts of Hungary, oh which quest to that effect, containedin theic g former is repeated here. th a t " what our entreaties 'i wer n Wit h re ference to the amnesty, the hope is express ed u lse of your Maj est y' s paternal heart will carr y w ere not able to ob tain from your Majesty, the im into effect at the earliest possible period." The address closes in the following terms Again we entreat your Majesty to relieve us and the entire country from the oppressive apprehen sion, that should the practical recognition of con tinuity of right not take place, all to which we now agree after serious consideration, and possibly with many sacrifices, should be built upon a foundation capable of becoming at some future period insecure. We place our confidence solely in your Majesty's paternal heart. From your Majesty's sovereign wisdom alone we hope such a guarantee for our con stitutional life as may restore to our hearts the be- iftrwralev%ta.==3;---the common King and people will exist, legally and actu aid in the remote future, so long as the coin. of both replaces it with no other work." Agricultural Prospects. Last week opened with a favourable day, breezy ( and dry. Monday morning, with most part of the day, was also favourable ; but some slight rain fell at night. Much field work was accomplished on this day; wind varying from S.W. JO N.W. On 'Tuesday the morning was very fine—too bright to be lasting; and it proved dull at tithes, with slight rain at interval, tinged with snow. Wind N.IV., thermometer 40 degs., barometer 29.40 inches. Our advices en that day were of a various character. From Lancashire they stated : " The weather has Icontinued frosty, with fine drying winds, and the fields arc now in admirable order for agricultural labour. Vegetation has been seasonably checked, and the autumn-sown wheat is favourably reported of in all quarters." From the West Riding of Yorkshire they remarked: " Our farmers do not get to work fairly yet, as the land in many'places is' still very wet. We continue to have squalls of snow and rain with a frosty air. The seed time will be on all at once shortly, and the land all the better for the late frost." From Northumberland it was remarked : " Since Saturday it has been mild and fine, excepting a few showers of rain yesterday. The wind has varied from S.W. to N.E., and round again to N.W., blowing at times a gale. The weather is again cold, with snow and N.E. wind this afternoon." From Norfolk it was observed: " The weather during the past week has been cold and unsettled, with strong N.E. winds." Wednes day morning registered 7 degrees of frost, and in, exposed and bleak situations 10 degrees were exp'e rienced. Such sharp weather is not very u4nal about the middle of March, but it must do much good, pulverising the land where just ploughed up, and being very serviceable in every respect. From, the west coast of Scotland it was written : " The weather continues frosty by night." On Thursday a very cold wind from the S.S.E. blew all day, somewhat indicating snow. Thermometer 3G degs. at noon, and barometer down to 29 degs., and still falling. Our advices from Berkshire on that day stated : " The spring sowing is very backward, owing to the continued wet weather. We do not hear much complaint of the wheat plant, the land in this neighbourhood being well drained and not sub ject to floods. All the farmers are now busily en gaged in the fields ; probably when that work is finished our markets may be more liberally supplied, but we do not expect an over-abundance." From Warwickshire it was stated : "Weather has again been variable during the week, some days quite spring-like, others sharp frost with drizzling snow. Farmers have slightly increased their deliveries of wheat." From Suffolk, near the coast, it was stated : " We have now very cold, seasonable dry frosty weather, and seeding is progressing favour ably. From the interior of the same county : "During the past week the weather has been gene rally fine and dry, with cold winds. Farmers are busy, and seeding work is making good progress." On Friday the wind continued to be very cold, blow ing from the S.E.,and it threatened rain, but held up; thermometer, 40 deg. ; barometer, 2910 in. Spring tillage has proceeded apace this week, much work having been accomplished in the primest order, the seed going into the ground in a fine state on all but the veryheaviest soils, as these require a continuance of drying winds before they can be worked to ad vantage. The demand for seed-barley has been extensive, choice and suitable samples commanding very high prices, and secondary sorts having also advanced nearly Is. per bushel from their lowest point, as these are likelyto be worked up very closely. Where hands could be spared, wheat-thrashing has been proceeded with, whilst the frost lasted, and the condition may be slightly improved ; but yet these seem to be bought without activity, and prices have not been enhanced. On Saturday came the first important stop to field-work during the week, a steady rain having set in early in the morning, which lasted to nearly mid-day. The afternoon was drier, but the wind remained from the S.S.E. with a higher temperature.—Mark Lane Express of yes terday. THE SUN. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 20, 1806.

Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager, &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and have to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will bo required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving ? The smallest donation will bo most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will be offered in your behalf.

The 13th Hussars are held in readiness to march from Norwich and Ipswich to-day and to-morrow, en route to York and Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The strength - of the camp at Aldershot, now materially reduced by the departures for Ireland, will soon be augmented by the 66th Regiment from Devonport, the 48th from Shorneliffe, and the 81st from Gosport. The 65th and 89th Regiments and the 15th Hussars are also expected to be stationed at the camp during the summer. An inquest was held at Aldershot on Wednesday on the body of Sergeant Robert Smart, 17th Regiment. It appeared from depositions made by the deceased just prior to his death, and also from the statements of several witnesses, that on the night of the Gth inst. several sergeants of the 17th Regiment were in the mess-room after the prescribed hours. Two of them named Pil kington and Switzer respectively were "larking," and the deceased attempted to separate them, when Switzer, who appeared angry at the inter ference, said, " I will just give you the same," and he kicked the deceased in the abdomen, not, however, as the latter supposed, with the intention of inflicting any severe injury. The kick produced hernia, and, according to the medical evidence, was the cause of death. Sergeant Daniel Smart, brother of the deceased, stated that while attending his brother in hospital the latter sent him with a mes sage to Sergeant Switzer, telling him not to fret, as they had been very good friends. The jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against Sergeant Switzer, who had been arrested. He was admitted to bail in two sureties of £3OO each. The deceased was in terred on Thursday with the usual military honours. He leaves a widow and two children. Letters received from her Alajesty's screw troop steamship Adventure, dated Hongkong, Jan. 30, state that she was expected to be paid out of com mission there, and the officers and crew sent to Eng land in the Orontes troopship, Capt. hire.

DEATH OF GENERAL YUSUF.—We have to an nounce the death at Cannes, of General Yusuf, com mander of the military division of Montpellier. The deceased officer, 'who was a native of Algeria, first served as a private in an Arab cavalry regiment, and obtained his grades, followed by his naturalisation for _distinguished services, at the taking of Bougia especially and for his devotedness to France. He was also the author of several works on the affairs of the colony.

Stealing a Penny. cn g Recyliar_inaptitude of clergymen for the dis- P, exhibited at Redditch, according to a repori L w i lVa we find in the Birmingham Daily Post. A child, named Emily Jane Ballard, a scholar in Inkberrow Sunday school, it was alleged, on Sunday last, while in the Inkberrow church, stole a penny out of the pocket of a scholar. " The vicar, the Rev. G. R. Gray, who is chairman of the bench of magistrates for this petty sessional division, being informed of the petty theft, after making some inquiries into the case, instructed the village policeman to take the girl to the lock-up, which ,was done on Monday last. Substantial bail was offered, but the Rev. Mr. Gray refused to accept it. The sympathy for the child,_ who is about 10 years old, was so great that a sub scription was set on foot in the town, and in a short time the fee requisite to employ a solicitor was raised, and Mr. W. E. Simmons, of this place, was retained for the defence. The case was to be heard at the petty session held on Friday, and long before the court was opened a crowd of persons had assembled for admission to hear the case, so great was the in terest manifested. The magistrates on the bench were the Rev. G. R. Gray (chairman), and Messrs. W. Tabberer and J. Smith. The chairman said he hoped the case would be publicly reported, as he understood it had caused a great sensation in the town ; and he proceeded to give an explanation of the circumstances, which he thought would make the public less surprised at the detention. About a fortnight ago, he said, this child, who was reported to be only nine, but was in reality 11 years old, and who had been in his school some time, stole a pen knife. The counsel for the child here interrupted the chairman, denying the charge of knife stealing, and the chairman then said he never intended to go on with the case; all that he wanted was to make the child know that she could not steal a knife with im punity. The offence was the more serious as it was committed in the House of God. The child had put her hand into another child's pocket, and he thought it was his duty to punish her. He had no intention whatever to go on with the case, and he merely sent her to the lock-up to slightly punish her. He himself considered that a child of her age was quite as able to know right from wrong as a child much older, and especially in the House of God where the offence was doubly wrong. the de sired Mrs. Davis (a woman who attends to lain the case, but from organ) to attend and explain t done so [At the chil dren in church while the mistress is presiding at the some cause or other she had no . h ear ing .

The child then loft the dock.— Mr. Simmons objected to the case being settled in that way. The case had cast slurs upon the child's character, and his instructions were to go fully into the case and have the matter cleared up. He would consent to have the case ad journed for a short time then, or until that day week, to give Mrs. Davis an opportunity of attend ing.
