Directors to continue the payment of the interest at 10 per cent. per annum, but enable them to declare periodical bonuses on the capital called up. As to the Catalan property, having regard to its impor tant position, the command it has of the seaboard, the fad- - Mies it presents for construction of the new port, and its general adaptability for the formation of streets, shops, and private villas, a large and remunerative return may also be anticipated. ESTIMATED PROFIT ON CATALAN PROPERTY. On reference to Mr. Borde's Report, it will be seen that when the various improvements which have been sug gested have been completed, and the Catalan property fully developed, it is estimated to yield a gross profit of upwards of cent. per cent., and this within a period of three years, although the estimates have been based on the more extended period of five years, and that when the Fort St. Nicholas is removed, and the new port completed, this profit will be trebled. MINIMUM INTEREST, TEN PER CENT. As the first payments of annuities and rent under the arrangements entered into with regard to the Joliette pro perty do not commence until the Ist October, 1867, and become payable only in the subsequent half-year, viz., the Ist April, 1868, the Directors have decided to pay in terest at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum for two years, from March, 1866, on the capital called up, and for which four interest warrants will be attached to the share certifi cates at the time of issue (which will bo charged to land purchases account). After that date the revenue from the Joliette lands, the rentals from the other properties, and profits on further sales, will be applicable for dividend or bonuses. PAYMENT OF SHARES IN FULL ALLOWED. As some Shareholders may prefer to pay up the shares in full rather than have a larger number subject to calls, application may be made for shares to be fully paid up on allotment. Four half-yearly interest warrants, at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, will likewise be attached to these share certificates. In the allotment of shares prefe rence will be given to these applications, but the number so allotted will not exceed 30,000 shares, and the Directors reserve to themselves the right in their discretion only to allot 60,000 shares in all on the present allotment. A portion of the shares will be allotted to applicants who aro Shareholders in The Credit Fonder and Mobilier of England (Limited), The Agra and Masterman's Bank (Limited), The National Bank, The National Bank of Liverpool (Limited), To applicants from Marseilles and Paris, and the balance to the other portion'of the general public. Applications for shares may be made in the anne xe d form, which m us t b e accompanied by the payment of £1 per share deposit, without which no application will bo considered. Should a less number of shares be allotted than are supplied for the deposit will, so far as required, be applied towards the payment due on allotment.

Captain Gronow was disinherited by his fathc, 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.

Since the government of the early Kings, the muncipal system, by long-continued exercise, has struck deep root into the life of the nation. The laws of 1848, by changing the shape of the admini stration, without bringing it into harmony with the this venerable institution, created a contradiction in principle, whose removal can only be effected by the most exact examination and mature judo - - went. We expect therefore that the Diet will turn its attention to this subject, and consider it as one of its most pressing tasks to lay before us the result of its labours. " It is further matter of indispensable necessity that Art. 22 of 1848, as to the National Guard, should be suspended. This enactment has imposed tt need less burden cpon the people during the short period of its existence, and diverted them from their peace ful occupation ; it has not fulfilled its object of up holding public security, but has rather led to results of an opposite kind. It appears, moreover, desirable that all those enactments of the laws of 1848 which have not hitherto been put into operation by us should be carefully re-examined. These laws, passed under the pressure of events which at that time shook the world, bear the stamp of undue haste upon them, as is manifested not merely upon theo retic examination, but also by experience, as, for instance, in the case of the electoral law, which has been twice applied. " From this necessarily follows that we cannot, in the consciousness of our duty as a ruler; consent to the actual restoration of those laws, as claimed upon the ground of continuity of right, until they have been carefully re-examined, adapted to the demands of existing circumstances, and perfected according to the teachings of experience. The desire of our paternal heart is not for momentary satisfaction, but for the establishment of lasting and opportune institutions. Our mission as a Sovereign, together with our duties to wards all our subjects, forbid us—prior to settlement of the future order of the various branches of the public service—to lead existing order into decay, to obstruct the wheels of the chariot of State, to exchange our provisional condition with another equally provisional, and thereby to unsettle to remote distances the tranquillisation just com menced. The representatives of the country arc equally sensible of the difficulties of this transition, and declare themselves in its regard, in place of insisting upon the demand of strict legality, ready to take circumstances into reasonable consideration. It depends upon them to reduce the difficulties op- PRICE.— 4d.

" None were more impressed than ourselves with the weight of these difficulties and obstacles which opposed themselves, and not in one direction only, to the work of agreement we commenced. Never theless, hailed and accompanied by the confiding and enthusiastic manifestations of the country, we _ . have with self-denial and firm resolution entered upon a course in which we confidently hope to meet with the ready support of the Diet, and whereupon, as we shall share the honour of success with the country, so the buriza of responsibility will affect the country equally with ourselves. " Among the former extraordinary circumstances we see the only possibility of a practical application of continuity of right in the fact that the alteration of the laws has alone to be effected upon the basis of an agreement with the Diet, the execution of which assumes the co-operation of the legal elements of the Hungarian Legislature—an agreement justi fied by the testimony of history, whose annals re peatedly teach that a similar procedure has been adopted under like circumstances. This precedent appears the more worthy of imitation the more vehe ment the convulsion whose lamentable consequences it is the object of our common efforts to remove. In this manner the agreement can be brought about, difficulties can be smoothed way, and all _ _ those relations can be settled which must be arranged and regulated if we wish permanently to close the sources of future complications. " We also feel deeply the weight of the duties im pending upon us. We feel the political importance of the royal unction, and the sanctity of the oath with which the crowded King promises the inviolable maintenance of the Constitution. But it is precisely because we do not regard the coronation merely as a solemn ceremony that we cannot consent to the restoration of legal arrangements whose inviolable maintenance our religious feeling and the voice of our conscience forbid us to ratify with our oath. We are convinced that the Diet will recognise in these our religious feelings the surest guarantee for the constitutional position of the country. When that solemn act shall, as it is to be hoped, at once put an end to the vacillations of political life, we will also, without hesitation, follow the dictates of our paternal heart, which is always inclined to let mercy prevail, and we shall then be able to exercise in full measure the noblest of our kingly rights without endangering public order. " With regard to the request for the completion of the Diet which refers to Dalmatia, Fiume, and those districts whose convocation is ordered by Art. 5 of 1848, we consider it advisable to reserve its detailed treatment to the time when, in consequence of our Royal Rescript to the Croatian and Sclavonian Diet of the 27th nit., the results of the deliberations of the Diet shall be laid before us, inasmuch as these questions are intimately connected with the happy solution of the pending political relations of Croatia and Slayonia. " We have receiveu with pleasure the assurance of the Diet thatit will always take as its guide the prin ciples of justice and fairness with regar d to all classes o f the population, without distinction of religion and language, and that in especial with regard to the non-Hungarian inhabitants of the country it is minded to do everything in the way of legislation that the universal welfare of the Fatherland and its interests may require. While simultaneously up holding the territorial integrity of the country, we shall reckon it among our most pleasing tasks to further everything by which that result may be achieved, whose realisation we, too, warmly desire, for we hail the peaceful agreement of all the inha bitants of the country and the coincident concilia tion of all their interests with lively joy, and shall always be prepared to advance these objects to the utmost of our power. " It now depends upon the e nergetic activity and wise care of the Diet to has ten that period when such propositions may be submitted to u s as shall harmo nise our sovereign rights with the just requirements of our realm a nd the reasonable claims of th e adja cent countries. We shall reckon that moment to be the happiest of our life when we can f eel tran quillising consciousness that by our royal sanction of those propositions we have promoted the true welfare of Hungary and of all our peoples, and have laid the foundation-stone upon which the increased prosperity, the strength and security, as well as the might of our monarchy, may be permanently raised. "We remain well inclined to all our faithful lieges in royal grace and favour. _ _ _ " Given in the metropolis of our kingdom of Hungary this 3d March, 1866. (Signed) " FRANCIS JOSEPH.

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 5013 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 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 an d coa l s t o poor f am ili es in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry ou and accomplish what has been begun? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving ?

The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor presided, and there were present Mr. Alderman Copeland, Mr. Alderman Wilson, Mr. Alderman Hale, Mr. Alder man Sidney, Mr. Alderman Challis, Mr. Alderman Gabriel, Mr. Alderman W. Lawrence, M.P., Mr. Alderman C. J. Lawrence, Mr. Alderman Besley, Mr. Alderman Stone, Mr. Alderman Waterlow, and Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Gibbons. The Deputy- Recorder was also in attendance. After the disposal of matters of a routine cha racter, Mr. Alderman WATERLOW (in the absence of Mr. Alderman Finnis) presented a petition from Mr. Cazenove and certain other members of the Stock Exchange, praying the Court to revise and recon sider the regulations and requirements now in force respecting the admission of brokers, and that they be admitted without giving any security for the due execution of their office, or bond for the payment of their annual rent of £5 to the Corporation. A deputation from the petitioners, headed by Mr. Cazenove, appeared at the bar, and a brief discus sion ensued upon the proposition of Mr. Alderman Waterlow that the prayer of the petition be not complied with. Mr. Alderman COPELAND seconded the motion. Sir R. W. CARDEN expressed a hope that the pe tition would be allowed to be laid on the table, and that the matter be referred to the General Purposes Committee, before which the highly respectable pe titioners could be heard. He should move that proposition as an amendment. Mr. Alderman and Sheriff GIBBONS seconded the amendment, which, after a conversation, in which Aldermen Stone, Sidney, Copeland, and others took part, was negatived, and the original resolution was carried ; upon which Mr. Alderman WATERLOW gave notice that at the next court he should move the abolition of the principle of sureties for the payment to the Cor poration of the £5 per annum as broker's rent. THE STATE OF THE PRISONS. The Sheriff reported that there were in Newgate Royal Rescript to the Hungarian Die PESTII, March 3. The following is the full text of the Rescript issued by the Emperor of Austria to the Hungarian Diet, in reply to the Addresses from both Houses. A summary has been telegraphed : " We, Francis Joseph 1., by God's grace, Em peror of Austria, apoitolie King of Hungary, &c., &c., to the clerical and lay dignitaries, the Estates and representatives of our faithful kingdom of Hungary and the territories therewith connected, assembled in our Royal free city of Pcsth, in the Diet convoked by us upon the 10th December, greeting,— accept the assu ran"cDeseoafr f L a i i e tl g if e i s ir altlrtaechgmraeeniot accept in the de voted Addresses of the Estates and representatives in Diet assembled upon the 26th February of this present year, and we consider them, together with the thankful recognition of our paternal intentio as a gratifying proof of their sincere confidence. In requital of this confidence we also return with un reserved frankness our answer to thosewishes stated in the Addresses with respect to which the import ance of existing relations urgently requires more detailed explanation of our sovereign intentions. "We have perceived with satisfaction that una nimity which prevailed with respect to the choice of the Pragmatic Sanction as a starting point for agrernent. The idea of common interests and common protection we see dwelt upon in the ad dress of the Upper Hpuse formed almost two cen turies before the Pragmatic Sanction came into existence the chief motive of permanent union be tween the kingdom of Hungary and the hereditary territories of our sovereign House. We willingly admit that by means of the more precise and more lasting settlement of that community contained in the aforesaid fundamental law our hereditary lands have gained increased strength. But the insepar able union of all the kingdoms and countries of our House also at the same time secured the territorial extent and the national independence of Hungary, and also became the most efficient barrier of her safety from without. As therefore the beneficial effect of this connexion was mutual, our efforts must be directed towards permanently securing its blessings, and for that purpose towards settling, in accordance with the spirit of the times, the relations arising out of community of interests and of pro tectiou, following out the principle of the Pragma tic Sanction. " The countries of the Hungarian Crown form an important part of our entire realm. The moral and material strength, the prosperity, internal quiet, and security of the realm depend upon similar elements in the said countries, and these occupy a position of active reciprocity towards each other. The extra ordinary expansion and perfection of the means of intercourse which knit interests together with thou- sands of threads, necessarily largely increase this reciprocity, apart from the highly important conse quences of the abolition of customs duties. The conditions that have been meantime developed the more require precise regulation on account of the deficiency in this respect of the laws last passed by Hungary. These enactments remodelled internal administration, but made either insufficient provi sion for the necessary connection with the other kingdoms and countries, or no provision at all. But now that the internal moment of the task and the most important interests of all our peoples demand that all points belonging together and intimately connected should be settled unitedly, and at the same thae, our duty as a ruler, and care for the real welfare of our subjects, forbid us to admit that, in our intended restoration and realisation of Hun garian constitutional affairs, those matters should be left pending and undecided upon whose opportune and reciprocal satisfactory settlement equally de pend the peaceful and prosperous connection of the various countries belonging to our monarchy and the development of their welfare, as well as the security, reputation, and power of the empire. For this reason we have first directed the attention of OD Diet to common affairs, and their method of treatment, and the confidence we placed in the in sight of the representatives was not deceived, for theyadmit 'that there are such common relations, and that their efforts will be directed to bring to bear such arrangements with regard to the establishment and manner of treating them as may fulfil the ob ject without endangering their constitutional and legal independence.' " We have ourselves granted constitutional rights to those countries of our realm which did not previ ously possess them. We are therefore far from de manding that Hungary should sacrifice her consti- tutional and legal independence, but we do expect, and have a right to expect, in reliance upon the in sight and clear view of the interests of the country, that Hungary will not wish to make use of her con stitutional independence—whose necessary limits we stated in the spirit of the Pragmatic Sanction in our Speech from the Throne —for her own isolation, which only leads to weakness, but as a means for the promotion of her true and permanent interests. The exercise of well-founded innueece upon common affairs affords on the one hand the surest pledge for the legal independence of the country, while upon the other the beneficial effect of that influence will unmistakably manifest itself with regard to the wel fare, security, and power of the realm. shall, therefore, observe with satisfaction the commencement of deliberations upon this head, and we doubt not that, in the course of a detailed examination of these questions, the necessity of a severe revision and opportune modification of the laws of 1848 will be made manifest. " The solution of the question of common affairs is not only satisfactorily achieved by their estab lishment, but necessarily also demands their united treatment secure against every obstacle, together with the foundation of co-operative action on the part of the legislative and executive power. Exer cise of the branches of government bearing upon this point, as ordered by Art. 3 of 1848, without the requisite organic connexion, excludes the possibility of successful treatment of common affairs. The ry because our Speech from the Throne, necessary, because diame tricallysome clauses of Arts. 2,3, and 4 a I g B ht. The modification of these laws is iiirther, as we s tated in opposed to our sovereigniti i laid down in Art. exe cution of the form of goveranice in a c P n P it oned in Art: 2. . The intment of a viceroy 3 is conditional upon the monarchy established principle of the um . named with royal p . o ty we o r f Sanction, and the mission of our by the Pragmatic consequent thereupon, together with office as ruler those personal f ee lings we cherish in our paternal heart towards our. kingdom of Hungary,andwhich the impel us to exercise this our constitutional right as ruler in person—render it impossible for us ever to ns appointment of such a v ice r oy, nor acroewernet to the declare our consent to that clause of Art. 4, by which the Diet cannot be dissolved before the passing of the budget. We do not doubt that the motives which raise the attachment of the coun try to its constitutional rights to so high a degree of filial affection will also actuate it in matters con cerning the inviolability of the rights and authority of the Crown which form the keystone of the Con stitution. " We consider it further indispensable to direct the attention of the Diet to those obstacles which stand in the way of the immediate restoration of the municipal system, because it has become impos sible, with reference to the re-modification of social conditions that has since occurred, to carry out, rig the t r ed ' ,s ' • O' 65 ; Do of% . c eti 1 1 , sla y. ittrt° Arbi te ' 1 for D elft large' 15 19 6 6 15 - is g is - it; 3 1 .vcll s ;, 01° l e re °' Of A sTeStt ate r. u relb icovg' rd. r itish o 9 t h 7 J3W lath' _hill, , rent' ear - p, 'lo`' 11 2 ; ty of
