The Directors invite applications for the unissued shares in this Company, numbering 5,000, for the purpose of earrying out a valuable concession fro m the Hanoverian Government,., giving an exclusive right for 30 y ears to lay 'own and work a submarine telegraph c able between the • English and Hanoverian coasts, mad the same exclusive light to lay land wires to certain important places in Ger many. The number of messages between England and Ger many 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 of traffic by the cable, which, under the conditions of the Concession, and under normal c i r cumstances, will produce a minimum annual revenue equal to 15 per cent. on the total amount of capital required, as certified by the well-known accountants, Messrs. Quilter, Ball, and Co. This minimum is entirely exclusive of the continually- Increasing profits of the business purchased from Mr. Reuter. The cable will be manufactured and laid down by the elegraph Construction and Maintenance Company, who nave taken one-fourth of the amount of their contract in shares of the Company. It will probably be ready for the transmission of messages by the end of August next. The durability of cables in'shallow waters, such as the North Sea, where the Company's cable' will be laid, is Proved by experience. They are as safe, and can be re- Paired almost as easily, as land wires. The existing cables to Holland have been laid several years, and that between Dover and Calais 15 years, and they continue at the pre sent time in good working order. There is no promotion money, nor any commission paid for obtaining the concession, Mr. Reuter having handed it over to the Company gratis. Applications for shares to be made to the Company' s Bankers, accompanied by a deposit of £1 per share. Should no allotment be made the amount will be returned Without deduction. Prospectuses, with forms of applications for shares, may be obtained at the offices of the Company, of the Brokers, or of the Solicitors. REUTER'S TELEGRAM COMPANY (Limited).

OFFICES. 31, Throgmorton-street, E.C. The object of this Company is to underrake on a more extended scale operations similar to thoso which have been so successfully conducted by the Foreign Lands and Mineral Rights Purchase Company, now about to be dis solved, viz., to bring English capital to bear upon the re sources of, and to assist in, the development of enterprise in Central America, by examining and acquiring properties of various descriptions, at a comparatively small outlay, with the view of turning them to profitable account in such manner as may be deemed best in each particular case. The natural wealth of Central America requires only to be known and appreciated by capitalists to enable it to be come at once a source of considerable profit to both natives and foreigners. Gold and silver mines are plentiful, and their productiveness is sufficiently attested by such Mines as those now in course of being worked by the Chontales CompanY. That Company was introduced last autumn to take over the mineral properties acquired by the Foreign Lands Com pany, and though the latter company is to receive, in effect, by way of royalty, one-third of the net profits of the Chon tales Company, the shares of the Chontales Company have, from their issue, commanded & very high premium on the Stock Exchang_e, The extraordinary mineral wealth of the country is, how ever, only one feature of Central America. Mahogany, cedar, and other marketable cabinet-woods and timber abound. India-rubber, sarsaparilla, cochineal,-vanilla, dye-woods, and other spontaneous productions, , already form consider able articles of export. The cacao (chocolate) is the finest in the world, and when the Spaniards held the country the King's table was supplied from this source ; the sugar is equal in quality to that of Jamaica ; the indigo excels that of India ; the coffee is already so favour ably known in the market as " Costa Rica Coffee," that it needs no comment ; cotton arrives at great perfection on the shores and islands of the Atlantic Ocean—a locality enjoying the advantage of being nearer England than even New Orleans; whilst cattle-breeding is profitable, and capable of large extension. Add to this the geographical situation of the country between two great oceans, in lakes and rivers offering facilities for internal communication, and the certainty of its being, ere long, traversed by a rail way—a great highway of nations—connecting Europe and the whole of the Pacific, Australia, and Japan; and it will be seen that Central America holds out prospects the most brilliant to those who have the enterprise to develope its unbounded resources. Various causes have hitherto combined to prevent these advantages from receiving the attention which they have so well merited. This Company, however, believes that, : having the confidence and goodwill of the Governments and people of Central America, it is in a peculiarly favour able position for acquiring valuable properties and privi leges, and for organising arrangements for the efficient car rying out of any operations of the profitable nature of which it has thoroughly satisfied itself, whether relating to mines, or cocoa, coffee, and cattle estates, the extension of cotton cultivation, the export or import of different products, the making of roads, canals, and railroads, or the establish ment of steam communication on the various rivers and lakes of the country. It is not part of the scheme or inten tion of this Company to work any mines, or carry out any of the above operations, on its own account, or with its own funds; but, after investigation, to introduce and transfer them for development to capitalists, whether companies or individuals, on advantageous terms, by the reservation of a royalty or otherwise. The Directors have secured the valuable services of Dr. Seemann and Capt. Holman, both of whom have already proceeded to Central America, with instructions to examine, and, on approval, to enter into conditional conrtacts for the Limon and Matagalpa Mines, and other properties which may be offered to them in the name of the Company. Capt. Holman is a Mining Engineer of known skill and ability; whilst Dr. Seemann, whose eminence as a scientific man and naturalist is European, and who, from his extensive and intimate acquaintance with tropical countries, was selected by our Government as one of the Royal Commissioners when the Fiji Islands were offered as a Crown colony, was considered eminentlg suited to be entrusted with the conduct of the important negotiations contemplated by the Company, and the investigation of properties eligible for its purposes. The Limon Mine, in New Segovia, Nicaragua, is a silver mine, famed for its richness, belonging to General Mar tinez, the President of Nicaragua. The Matagalpa are gold mines, in Nicaragua, reported to be scarcely inferior to those of Chontales. These mines are already under offer to the Company, through Captain Pim, and it is believed that no difficulty exists as to their immediate acquisition if they are tho roughly approved of by the Company's agents. The Directors purposely abstain from offering any esti mate of the profits to be made by this Company, for it would not be possible to do so with any sort of accuracy. The shares of the Foreign Lands and Mineral Rights Pur chase Company, with £145 paid up, have been selling at £7OO per share, and upwards. That Company confined itself to a mineral undertaking alone, and in a single loca lity. The Central American Association, launched under as favourable auspices, with a practised management, and with a much larger area of operations, may, it is thought, fairly look for results equally satisfactory. No promotion-money has been, or will be, paid ; and the Directors are to be remunerated only by a percentage on surplus profits beyond 5 per cent. Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares may be obtained from the Solicitors, Brokers, and at the Offices of the Company, where also copies of the Articles of Asso ciation may be seen. In case of no allotment of shares being made, deposits will be returned in full. As two thirds of the shares have been already taken, the usual formal assurance that no allotment will be made except in the event of an adequate amount of the capital being sub scribed for, is unnecessary.

Captain Gronow, who lately died in Paris, has left a widow and four young children, by his second marriage utterly destitute, without means to defray his funeral expenses, or aven to purchase bread. Captain Gronow was disinherited by his father, in favour of his brother, a clergyman, and the small income which he derived from the interest of a sum charged on the family estate ceased with his life ; while the sums he received from time to time for his " Recollections" were expended in providing for the increasing expenses of his young family. Under these distressing circumstances the friends of Madame Gronow in Paris came to her aid, and they now appeal to the liberality of her late husband's friends in London, and also to the readers of his Reminiscences, for contributions to enable her to maintain and educate her children.

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 ander railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitous.) , 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, re f u sedadmittance, andhave 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 be 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 be most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will be offered in your behalf.

The annual meeting of this institution com menced yesterday morning in the rooms of the Sir John Pakin g t on , Society of Arts—the president, in the chair. In the report of the proceedings of the previous year it was stated that the School of Naval Archi tecture established by the institution had been very successful, and that there were last year 37 students in the school, of whom four were Russians. The ac counts showed a balance in favour of the institution of £594. Sir Join , ' PAKINGTON, in his opening address, congratulated the meeting on the continued pros perity of the institution, and suggested that, for the purpose of maintaining it in that position, a per: - - manent secretary should be appointed. lie alluded ii - LitpimutntstrEatsatisfaction to the School of Naval Architecture, ana he said that it the IP.SULULDAL not done anything more .than the establishment of that school they would have done most valuable service. The only draWback to the success of the school was that a considerable number of the students were not sufficiently advanced in general education to derive full benefit from it, and he strongly re- commended those of the middle classes who desired their sons to enter the naval profession to have them better educated in science and mathematics. Sir John Pakington alluded to the important ques tion on which all naval men were now so much in- terested, of the different modes of construction of Mr. Reed, the chief constructor of the navy, and of Capt. Coles, and he observed that in his remarks on the subject in the House of Commons he did not ,ntend to blame the Admiralty for not baying acknowledged the superiority of Capt. Coles's sys tem, but for having deferred giving him a fair trial. In alluding to the experiments now making to im- prove the ships of the British navy, be said it was :he custom in former days for naval men to be proud not only of the efficiency of their ships but of their beauty, but that idea seemed to be lost, for nothing so ugly as some of the ships 'now built was ever before seen on the surface of the water. He hoped that the results of the experi ments that were being made would be to combine thorough efficiency with beauty. He said he had Lately brought before the notice of the House of Commons the loss of the ship London. The circum stances of that sad event, and of the loss at the same time of another ship of still larger size and of equal reputation, he hoped would be noticed in the course of the meetings of the institution, and that there would be a discussion on the construction of such ships, which was a question of almost equal importance to the construction of ships of war. It was most desirable that some regulations should be made for the building of passenger ships, and to prevent their being overloaded, for he feared they were often built so much for speed as to render Lem unsafe. The first paper was read by the Rev. Dr. WOOLLEY, "On the Bows of the Helicon and Salamis," in which he minntely described the altera tions made in the former ship under the direction of Mr .Reed, and stated the results of the trials of their seaworthiness and speed. They were origi- nay sister ships, and in the alterations that had been made in the Helicon the body of the ship had been lengthened five feet, by extending the bow under the water-line. It was contended by Dr. WOolley, who was on board the Helicon during several trial trips with the Salamis, that the steadi ness of the ship and the speed had been greatly improved by the alterations. Mr. SAMUDA observed that the comparison of the two ships were not exactly fair, for the lengthening of the body would of course give the Helicon greater speed, and, though the engines were nominally of the same power, those of the Helicon were practi cally more effective. The altered form of the lines of that ship, he asserted, had in fact retarded the speed. Mr. SCOTT RUSSELL considered the extension o' the bow of the water-line an improvement, and that Mr. Reed was right in the principle he had adopted of increasing the bow below the water and diminish ing it above. Though he was strongly in favour of the wave-line under general circumstances, he was willing to admit that it ought to be departed from when other objects than speed were particu- larly required. Mr. REED sttted that, after making all allowance for the effect of lengthening the body and the diffe rence in the working power of the engines of the two ships, the balance was still in favour of the Helicon. He contradicted some reports that had been circulated as to the speed of the Bellerophon, and observed that, in comparison with the Black Prince, the results were a little in favour of the former. The next paper was " On the Bellerophon, Lord Warden, and Hercules Targets," by Mr. E. J. Reed, who explained, with the aid of diagrams, the construction of the targets of those ships, also those of the Warrior and the Minotaur. In the target of the Bellerophon the plan had been adopted of di minishing the thickness of the timber backings and increasing the thickness of the iron plates. The experiments at Shoeburyness were reported to have been unfavourable, and that plan which had been adopted also in the Minotaur, but it had since been ascertained that during the experiments a change had been made in the strength of the powder, which increased the initial velocity of the shot fired against the Minotaur target, as compared with the shot fired at the Warrior target, from 1,620 to 1,744 feet per second. The Minotaur target was, in point of fact, capable of offering greater resistance than that of the Warrior, and was better calculated to resist the effect of shells. Admiral HALSTEAD made some observations on the mode of testing the resisting power of targets by firing at them at right angles, in which direction ships in action are very rarely struck. He contended that the power of resistance should be obtained by oblique firing. lle mentioned an instance in which oblique firing had been tried p.t, a distance of only 200 yards, and the target rejected the shot, which, if fired at it rectangularly, would have readily penetrated. v e ss M e r l . s S hA.: l u d n was ta k eonf intoopinion aeco t ant the t lspceoendsiodfe ra be lating being convertible the strength of the iro n p ing its power , A resistance, th e amount of speed a nd be said, that if two terms. It was quit e evident, ships equal in armament and power of resistance, but one of which had greater speed, the latter would be victorious ; and if by increasing the thickness of the plating the speed were diminished, it would render the speed less secure. Sir J. PAKINGTON said he was glad to hear from Mr. Reed that the Minotaur target had, in fact, greater power of resistance than the target of Warrior, and he expressed surprise that such a mis take should have been made as to change the strength of the powder during the experiments. Captain HEATH differed from Mr. Samuda re specting the value of speed in large ships, which were intended to fight and not to run away. posed reference to ex p er i men ts on the Warrior targ et, he said it had been ascertained that the power of pens tration of a shot depends on its t'is viva, com With of the weight of the shot and its velocity combined i ' II3B7S PAPER ,Co P-P C" , • and if the via viva, under an /4 . • equal, the relative proportions of e. stituted by weight and velocity were kinataial. a A paper by Mr. Fairbairn " On the Security a Iron Ships," and a paper by Mr. Grantham " On the Length of Iron Ships, with reference to recent losses at sea," were then read, the discussion on both being taken together. in Mr. Fairbaim's paper it was admitted that the consideration of speed might be carried too far, and he enforced the neceasity of great strength in proportion to the length, and the division of the ship by bulk-headg-• Mr. Grantham, without giving any proportions of length to breadth, which he considered desirable, was of opinion that if the strength of the ship were proportional, the length did not effect its safety, and he stated that several ships were now building in the proportion of ten and a half to the breadth of the beam, while the length of the London and the Amelia was not more than seven times greater than the breadth. ll° thought that the loss of those two ships could be attributed to their length, from the fact that other ships of longer proportions rode out the same gale in safety. Mr. SCOTT RUSSELL said he believed that ships might be built of any size if they were made suffi ciently- strong to bear the strain. There was no ob jection to the length of the ships that had been lost, but it was the duty of the institution to consider in every respect what could be done to prevent the re currence of such accidents. It must borne in mind, however, that nothing could prevent the bad stowage of a good ship, and that nothing could prevent a good ship so stowed from going to the bottom. Two or three things were necessary for the safety of pas senger iron ships, which, he hoped, would be ordered at Lloyd's. In the first place, the deck should be of iron, and all other things connected with the deck should be firmly riteted to it, so as to make them all compact. He recommended that the committee of Lloyd's should give encouragement to the manu facture of ships of superior qualities, and legislation might go so far as to enforce such regulations as aro captains respecting the structure of the ships placed under their command, with full particulars of how the weight should be placed. Sir E. BELCHER spoke of the great advantages to be gained by the proper trim of a ship. With respect to the loss of the London, he thought a fatal error was committed in putting 15 tons of coal on the deck at the head of the ship. Had the anchors been put out they might have got rid of those tons of•coal, and then the ship might have been saved. Mr. WIGAN denied that 15 tons of coal had been put on board on that part of the ship's deck. Mr. REED expressed the opinion that no fault could be found with the construction of the London,' the length of which in proportion to the breadth was not more than 7 to 1 ; it was therefore as broad a ship as many that have been constructed with especial regard to safety. The meeting adjourned at 5 o'clock, Sir John Packington having previously resigned the chair to Mr. Reed, to attend the House of Commons. EVENING MEETING. The proceedings of the institution were resumed 'at 7, on which occasion the chair was taken by Sir John Hay. Mr. JOHN MAGREGOIt gave a description of tho Rob Roy Canoe, in which, during the last summer, he traversed 1,000 miles on the lakes and rivers of Europe. The canoe was built of oak, was five feet long, and two feet four inches broad, and weighed 801 b. Mr. Macgregor expatiated on the great pleasure and excitement in thus travelling in dependently up rivers that no other kind of boat could navigate, and by which means he had pene trated to spots never before visited. He said that in some parts of Germany his arrival and departure made a great sensation, hundreds of people assem bling to see him set off in his canoe. Mr. GRANTIIA3I next read a brief description of the iron screw yacht Vesta, built in 1848, which was one of the first screw steamers built on Clyde. A paper "On Steel Ship Plates, Angles, and Beams," by Mr. T. Rochussen, gave rise to a dis cussion on the employment of steel in the construc tion of ships, in which Mr. Reed, Mr. Grantham, Mr. Scott Russell, and other gentlemen took part. It was stated by Mr. Reed that the attempts he had made to apply steel to the purpose had failed in con ' sequence of the breaking of the metal at the rivets with a less strain than iron would bear. He did not consider the experiments final, but, until he could see his way more clearly, he did not think it proper to build ships of large size with steel, especially turret ships. Mr. Scott Russell, though strongly approving of the principle of constructing steel ships, nevertheless considered that the suitable kind of steel for the purpose has not yet been manufactured. He desired to encourage the building of ships with steel, for he firmly believed steel to be the iron of the future. A paper contributed by Mr. M. Rankin "On a Balance Rudder for Screw Steamers" was then read, and was explained by Mr. Napier. It was entirely technical, and, after a short discussion, in which Mr. Phipps, Mr. Scott Russell, and Mr. Reed took part, the meeting adjourned till to-day, when papers will be read in the morning and in the evening ; and the annual congress of the Institution of Naval Architects swill be brought to a close on Saturday morning. ~ ~~ /,; ' The International Society of Fine Arts. Under this title an association having for object he encouragement of the fine arts in all nations has been just founded in London. The extraordinary stimulus given to pictorial art both here and on the Continent by the system of international exhibitions originated by the Prince Consort has induced the promoters of the present undertaking to establish an institution which, in recognition of the principle that " art knows no frontier," shall furnish the artists of all nations with improved facilities for the introduction of their works into England, the country in which art, if not most widely understood, is at all events most munificently rewarded. It is hoped that by this means a plan of inter-communi cation may be established which, bringing the several modern methods of painting into close vicin age and immediate contrast, may vividly illustrate all varieties of style and enable all the schools to benefit by an accurate observation of the peculiar merits of each. Apart from the i n t e ll e ctual advantag e, to be obtained fro m this liberal interchange of ideas, it is anticipated that a monetary advantage also will be secured both to painters an d purchasers, in asmuch as the former, no longer the market value of thei r works, w hile the latter will be enabled to pur chase at the price the artists correct a t the mercy of dealers, will be guided to a knowledge of th em s e lves charge, and nted by the profit of an inter. tional expense replies will thus be saved the addi tional c order to meet the wishes of all way interested in the fine it - arts, is classes in any mediary intended that the society shall be divided into twcr lasses of members—" the one to consist of those contributing paintings or other works, or transacting agent. business for the company ; and the other of all other persons interested in the promotion of the fine arts." Of the constitution of the company in its commercial character it will suffice to say that it is to consist of preference and ordinary shareholders, w hose liability is in each case limited ; that the price of the shares will be £1 and £lO respectively ; - d that the no Th e society eon - minal capit a l w ill b e £lOO,OOO. - templates the eventual establishment in London of a perman en t ga ll er y, with schools, t h e development ofcliools, museums , an d , publishing offices annexed; but This extensive project must o f c ourse be the work of been strongly time.

ERTISEMENT. -1101101Vily'S Ointment and Efre tv et n iial the sad time of sickness it is cheering ict oR that a remedy does exist, and that it can be procured at little cost. Holloway's Ointment and Pills are always use f u l in relieving pain, in reducing inflammations, and re gulating disordered;action. They never can be misapplied, nor can they under any circumstances cause mischief. They are a blessing to the rich when tormented by indi gestion, gout, skin diseases, &c., and a p recious boon. to the poor when struck down by illness. Holloway's medicines should be in the possession of all soldiers, sailors, and emi rants, who will then ho iu a position to ease pain and cure disease when medical assistance cannot be obtained.
