This Company, which has been in preparation for , everal 'Months, and has now succeed e d i n Un i, i ng i mportant and Influeatial interests in Italy in its favour, is intended to aid in developing the agricultural resources of that country, 'which, in point of soil, climate, and position, is pre-eminently favoured. Italy at this time offers a wide field for the profitable in- Vestment of capital by the purchase, redistribution, and re salt of land, or by judicious advances to the owners, enabling them to avail themselYes, by he introduction of modern scientific appliances, of an improved system of agriculture. _ The richness and prod u cti ve c h aracter of th e so il o f I ta l y is too well kno wn to need remark, but capital is required to develope its resources. tl , l } Le eatates f the gre t landoners, where situated near lines of railway now under c w onstruction, are susceptible vl improvement. The outlay of capital for fortat object be extremely profitable, and the security its repay tient will be thereby increased. The rate of interest which Buck advances wi 1 afford in Italy is so much greater than in l*ria untry, that loans, re p aya bl e b y annual i nstalments, Vreed co over 20 or 25 years, will prove very lucrative. t h The Parchase of :large estate., and their sub-division for e pttrpose of resale into conveniently sized properties, wonid be a source of great profit, and at this time especially 'mould be resorted to with good results, as is of the Crown domains in Tuscany and other parts of Italy are now for sale on moderate terms. ChThe Directors propose t o ma k e arrangements for the pur ase of various large tract s o f Crown land, to be selected e from the domains of the Gove rnmen t. Th ese purc h ases will b made at a price reckoned on the net income at present re ceived from them, cent., and which will thus at once yield a retu rn of from sto 6 per nt., even in their present neglected con diton.. The land will be selected in the localities most favourable for rapid improvement, or in contiguity with the new lines 0 1 railway, and on or near to the sea coast, and suited to the culture of cotton, silk, flax, hemp, oil, corn, wine, madder, liquorice, tobacco, and fruits ; and for the proauction and rearing of live stock. Most of these fine lands have for centuries been suffered to fall into a state of neglect and unproductiveness. The cot etruction of the linen of railway now in progress will atone vastly augn, en. their value. 'i. of irrigation and drain age on such lands in Italy have been found to double their value. The country Is peaceable and contented, land contract I are perfectly secure, the farmers and labourers intelligent and In dustrious, and the wages of labour very moderate. No new organisation of labour is requisite. ia Lh i e re is no eeu n t ry i n wh i ch the elements of a prospe-ous nvestatent are more obviously numerous and advan tageous ; and as the savings of Italians of all classes are generally invested in land, great facility for its resal e in 8-1 1 3 1 ! 1 riots would re thus afforded to the Comoany. .e general objects of the Company will be—. Td he acquisition, by purcha se , o f se l ecte d l an d s i n the g om of Italy. 2. the re-distribution of the land, and the execution cf S uc h main im prcvements as may be executed by contract. 3 The re-Ilelling the lands acq u i re d b y th e C ompany e i ther 'o tether tr in --none parcels.

B. The b raising of capital, in additio n t o th e su b scr ib ed share real capital, by - he issue of Debenture Bonds secured upon the property and general assets of the Company. Og to the f .cilities granted by the Italian Government tor the payment of land purchased from them, it is expected that (lily a limited portion of the propos e d cap i tal will be r equired, and it is not intended to make any calls at inter 'Pals of less than three months.

TEMPORARY OFFICES. 7, Bank•buildings, Lot hbury, E.C. ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS. The" London anciVenezuela Bank" has for its proposed operations a ground unoccupied, and is most urgently re quired. Preliminary negotiations have been in progress ior re some months, and the project has been sub flitted to the judgment of the most eminent Venezuelan merchants, and has met with their univalified approval. Suppers is promised in highly influential quarters, and the Dirpotol3 are assured that the privilege of issuing Bank notes will be accorded by the Government. The banking facilities which Caracas has hitherto pos sessed have been very limited, but the feet that the Bank of Caracas, which will now merge ii,to this establishment, has - despite its restricted means—earned a net profit exceed ing 30 percent. per annum, leaves no doubt that the present undertaking will result in complete success. The following, published by Messrs. Matheson and Cn., while inviting tenders forth !Venezuelan Loan in June last, will confirm the above statements : " At present there is almost an entire absence of banking accommodation in Venezuela. Possessed of every advantage of clim.te and soil, within sixteen days' sail of Englanl, the exis'ing monetary facilities are quite inadequate to the com merce of the country, and to the increasing production and rapidly extending exports of its coffee, cocoa, cotton, hides, &c. The advantages of this Institution will be obvious to all, and as the rat .s of interest range from 10 to 15 per cent, per annum, the profits may be expected to be considerable," It may be added, that since that period, owing to the in creased and increasing demand for cap tal for the cultivation of cotton, which is now being exported to England in large quantities, it finds safe and profitable employment at much higher rates than those quoted by Messrs. Matheson. The want of an Exchange Bank in Venezuela ()elisions the utmost inconvenience in buying and selling foreign bills ; this Bank will supply the want, and as returns can be made with far greater r.pidity from Venezuela than from India, where banking facilities of a like nature have been found extremely profitable, it is certain this branch must be still more remunerative. The principal control of the London and Venezuela Bank will be vested in the Board of Directors in England. They will select a manager of known qualifications, who, on his arrival, wi 1 have he assistance and advice of the Directors in Caracas and La Guayra, who are Europeans of high standing in the country, and well known in connection with Venezuelan trade and finance. _ _ Full pro pectuses, with forms of appli ations for shares, may be procured of the Bankers, Solicitors, Broken!, or :4ecre tary, at the Off T. , 1 of the Company, where the Articles of As sociation may be inspected, and every information obtained.

COLLIER, Secretary, Temporary Offlees, I. New Itroad.street-coprt. PROSPECTUS. This Company has been formed for the purpose of pur chasing and carrying on the important and well-known busi ness of Engineers, Ironfounders, and Manufacturers of Agricultural Machinery and Implements, a hich having been established nearly half a century, has been conducted for the last thirty years by Messrs. Barrett, Exall, and Andrewes. While these gentlemen will realise by this transaction the accumulated profits of many years, they will yet remain large eh .reho' der., and continue to give their active co-operation in conducting the fUttire busint ss of the company. The demand for machinery at home and abroad being so extensive, capital to an extent can be profitably employed in its productio n , and the recent transfer of so many of the first-class engineering firms in the country to companies formed under the Act of 1862, among whom may be named Messrs. Fairbairn and Co., and Messrs. Sharp, Stewart, and CO., of Manchester, Messrs. John Brown and Co., and Messrs. Cam 'nell and Co., of Sheffield, Messrs. Slaughter, Gruning, and Co., of Bristol, & c., i s at once proof of the advantageous cha racter of the principle of association. A provisional Agreement, equitable and satisfactory, has been entered into v a ;th the Vendors, which secures to the Company, at a valuation, the freehold known as " The duheae,bpltelraeleerhte,e,hictol,dl machinery, consista pate nt o e a f a t e s wn e h ta o t le ri g hts,dr s . , si d t h e goodwill, stock in Katesgrove Iron Works, Reading," together w ith valuable e &e p . remises, having a River frontage of 440 feet, with a roadway on the other side, and an average depth of 175 feet, on which are erected the large and commodious foundry, smithy, boiler shops, engi neers', fitters', and erectors' shops, replete with the necessary tools and machinery. The engine -house with its horizontal engine of 40-horse power, pair of boilers, baths, gas works, offices, ,tc., as well as the lofty and massive store rooms, pattern stores, &o. A very large and commodious wood machine shop about 120 feet long by 30 feet wide, and a con verted timber yard occupies the site of another freehold. The leasehold property consists of 10 acres of meadow land, separated by the River Kennet from the Katesgrove freehold, and easily connected at any time by a bridge. The remaining works, on which are additional steam en gines of thirty-five horse power, are h Id on annual tenure, on which are the saw mills, stables, wood shops, store rooms, iron house, and warehouses, smithy, sheds, show rooms, offices, &c., the whole of which are conveniently arranged. The connections and Agencies established by the retiring Firm, both in this country and in the Colonies, as well as throughout Europe, combined with the signal success which their manufactures have attained, and the leading !position which they hold, their recognised standing at the Interna tional Exhibitions in England in 1851 and ff 62, and in France in 1855, manifested also in the numerous and distinguished prizes they have taken throughout Europe, cannot fail to secure to this Company a t rosperous future. As a guarantee of the soundness of the undertaking, the Vendors have agreed that they will not receive any interest on their s^ area until a minimum dividend of 5 per cent. has been paid on the remainder of the subscribed cai.ital. which agreement is to extend over a period of five years—while Mr. William Exall and Mr. Charles J. Andrewes,who have taken respectively the Engineering and Commercial Manageme - t is the business, will, as soon as the transfer is complete, take seats at the Board, and bring to bear their extensive and valuable experience. Whilst the Directors attach much importance to this agree hmaevnet h w e i e t n h a t d h v e i y e e d n h d y o r t s h , e t a h e e e y e think i e t f r i i g e bel f i t n o; t a a t e e e r r that t e h p e t y_ nion on the subject, that the shareholders may fully antici pate a safe and remunerative dividend, and will therefore only add, in conclusion, that of the many enterprises now befi•re the public, few can surpass it in this reasonable expec tation, inasmuch as its op , rations wil not be suspended for a w y b b ie e b sec ba u s re s d e be immediate, and the Directors hav e every reason to hope single day ; its connection is made,the profits will therefore Solicitors, Applicationan and for ee r Sharer e tarl. that the services of the eery p e r d es t e h n e t r e e x ti ec ri u n t g iv fi e r s m tr . m , t lo o nj he a i n r d su f ec ai e th ss f o ll r l s ly .

Naval and Military Intelligence, MALTA, May 24.—Her Majesty's screw steam ship-of the line the Marlborough, bearing the flag of the Comman der-in-Chief Vice-Admiral Smart, K.H., accompanied by the steam frigate Magicienne and the Cossack steam cor vette, left on the 20th for Corfu, to be present at the with drawal of the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, and the other constituted authorities, civil and military, as well as the troops, on the cession of the lonian Islands to the Crown of Greece, which is fixed to take place on the 2d of June. Her Majesty's steam transport Hima laya arrived on the 20th from Plymouth and Groraltar,bring log two midshipmen, six naval cadets, and ten engineers, 97 seamen, boys, and marines, to fill up vacancies in the squadron; Ensigns Prior, Hart, and Galvey, of the 100th; Captain Colvin, of the 7th; Mr. and Mrs. Sowden and three children, Mr. and Mrs. Webb, and Mr. and Mrs. Wolley. The Himalaya leaves with the Tamar, for Corfu, on the 24th (to-morrow). The ironclad screw steam fri , gate Resistance arrived on the 22d from Susa, whence she took her departure on the 20th of May. Her Majesty's despatch steamer Pysche left this morning for Zante with despatches for the naval Commander-in , Chief and the mails for the division in lonian waters. This vessel will convey the Lord High Commissioner to Ancona, en route for England. Her Majesty's steam ship-of-the-line Meanee has just quitted port for Corfu. The Tunedine steam sloop' Beazi arrived at Malta, from Alexandria, on the 19th with a number of Ottoman passengers, and left for Tunis on the 20th. The Egyptian steam frigate Nile, under the command of Capt. Mason, of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's service, arrived at Malta on the 22d May, having on board Capt. Named Bey,bound to London to be lengthened and refitted. The Ottoman despatch steamer Heki Cherif, arrived at Malta on the afternoon of the 22d of May from Tunis with despatches from his Excellency Haydar Effendi, the Imperial Commissioner lately sent thither by the Sultan, with which the same steamer left for Constantinople, after coaling, early on the morning of the 23d. The substance of these despatches was transmitted by the Ottoman Consul in cipher, on the night of the 22d, through the medium of the Continental telegraph lines to Constantinople." The Orontes, screw troopship, Captain Henry W. Hire, made a final and successful trial of her machinery at Ports mouth on Saturday, under the supervision of Capt. H. Caldwell, C. 8., the officer in command of the steam reserve at the port. Four runs were mado over the trial ground of the measured mile, and the ship attained a mean speed of a little over ten knots per hour with 121 b pressure of steam and the engine making 50 revolutions. This result is rather in excess of what had been anticipated, and if the boilers only hold out and the engines continue to walk as satisfac torily as they did on Saturday, the Orontes may be looked upon as a ship going at the rate of nine knots with light winds and smooth water. What a falling off, however, is here from the always-efficient Himalaya, upon which vessel the Orontes is an "improvement" from Admiralty designs 1 The Orontes has been nothing but a failure, comparatively speaking, from the day on which she made her first essay under steam, and has been a constant source of annoyance to all who had been concerned with her, whether it be her designers, constructors, the steam factory officials of her Majesty's dockyards, or the officials serving on board of her. Her chief engineer, a most indefatigable officer, has been superseded by Admiralty order, and another appointed in his place, and Capt. Hire himself has received a sharp re primand from the Admiralty for, it is presumed, stating frankly his opinion relative to the Orontes' boilers and machinery. As Captain Hire enjoys some reputation as a troopship commander, and as his late chief engineer is ac knowledged to be a thoroughly efficient officer, naval officers at Portsmouth openl3 express their surprise at the course of events, and sympathise greatly with both officers. The Orontes sailed from Spithead at noon yesterday for the Mediterranean, where she will receive her orders as to her future movements from the Admiralty, through the Admi ral Commanding-in-Chid of the station. The paddlewheel steam sloop Centaur, 6, Commander T.

The Pearl left Ascension April 21, for Portsmouth. The Centaur spoke May 26, off Cape Finisterre, the ship Melody outward bound. She brings home 85 naval invalids, includ ing Mr Parker, late master of the screw steam frigate Eury alus, 35; Acting Commander Mayow, late of the screw steam gun vessel Sparrow, 5 ; and Mr. Inglis, late master of the paddlewheel steam sloop Gorgon, 6. The Centaur was put in commission in Sept., 1859. She has been chiefly occupied in the East, and considerable changes have occur red in her officers and crew. Both the ship and her engines will require repair. Today she wiil be inspected by Port- Admiral Sir C. H. Fremantle, K.C.8., after which her powder End ammunition will be discharged. She will then be taken into Hamoaze to be dismantled, when her crew will be paid off. The screw steam gunboat Blazer, from Ireland, arrived on Friday evening at Devonport, where she will be refitted for active service.

The Virago, 6, Commander Johnston left on the 2d inst. for Vera Cruz. The Pylades, Capt. Hood, arrived at Grenada on the Bth of May from Barbadoes and Tobago, with Governor Walker on board. The Duncan, 81, Capt. R. Gibson, bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir J. Hope, K.C.8., arrived at St. Thomas's on the 2d inst., and left for St. Domingo on the 3d. His Netherlands Majesty's steam frigate Zealand, 46 guns, Captain Pels Rycken, from Cape Town and St. Helena, anchored in Falmouth Harbour on Saturday afternoon, on her passage to Holland to obtain a supply of fuel. Orders have been received at the camp at Colchester directing considerable draughts of officers and men of each of the depot battalions at the camp—the 4th, 9th, and 10th—to be held in readiness to proceed to India to join the service companies of their regiments. During the past week the whole of the troops in camp were reviewed in the Abbey Farm drill-field, under the general command of Colonel Guy, C. 8.; the 4th depot battalion was under the command of Col. Farren, C.B. ; the 9th depot battalion, under the command of Col. Knox, C.B. ; and the 10th depot battalion, under the command of Col. Street, C.B. Various evolutions were creditably executed by the assem bled troops. The enrolled pensioners of the Portsmouth dietrict, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Meehan, have just completed their summer training. The force, consisting of two officers (Lieut.-Col. Meehan and Capt. Driver), and 370 men of all ranks, was brigaded with the troops in Portsmouth garrison on Southsea-common on the anniversary of Her Majesty's birthday. Since then, on the completion of their allotted time of annual drill, they have been officially inspected by Col. Holcombe, of the 2d battalion of the Ist (Royals) Re giment of Infantry. He at the close of the inspection expressed himself much pleased with the clean and soldierly appearance of the men, and their thorough efficiency under arms. The Prussian military 'rind has left Lyons to return to Rastadt, where their regiment is in garrison. The farewell demonstration given to them was most friendly. A crowd assembled on the quay, where a steamboat was lying to take them on board, and saluted them with the loudest acclamations. On the evening before their departure they gave a concert at the Salle do l'Alcanr, which was densely thronged by persons from all classes of society, the receipts for admission realising upwards of 9,000 fr.

Funeral of Major-General Stuart, (From the Rzchniond _lnquirer, May 14 ) The funeral of this reach lamented and brave general tool: place yesterday afternoon, at 5 o'clock, from St. James's Church, corner of Mlrshal and Fifth streets. At the appointed hour the cortege appeared in front of the church, and the metallic coffin contain ing the remains of the noble soldier whose now silent voice had so often startled the enemy with his stirring battle cry, was carried down the centre aisle and placed before the altar. 'Wreaths and a cross of evergreens, interwoven with delicate lilies of the valley, laurel, and other flowers of purest white, decked the coffin. The pall bearers were General Bragg, Major- General M'Cown, General Chilton, Brigadier- General Lawton, Commodore Forrest, Captain I ee (of the navy) and General G. W. Randolph (for merly Secretary of War). The scene was sad and impressive. President Davis sat near the fcont, with a look of grief upon his careworn face ; his cabinet officers were gathered around, while on either side were the senators and representatives of the Confederate Congress. Scat tered through the church were a number of gene rals and other officers of less rank—among the for mer General Ransom, commanding the department of Richmond. Hundreds of sad faces witnessed the scene; but the brave Fitz Lee and other war-wearied and war-worn men, whom the dead Stuart had so often led where the red battle was fiercest, and who would have given their lives for his, were away in the fight, doubtless striking with a double courage as they thought of their fallen general. The short service was read by the Rev. Dr. Peter kin, a funeral anthem sung, and the remains were carried out and placed in the hearse, which pro. ceedel to Holywood Cemetery, followed by a long train of carriages. No military escort accompanied the procession, but the hero was laid in his last resting place on the hill side, while the earth trembled with the roar of artillery and the noise of the deadly strife of armies Serious Aspect of the Danish Question.

They think they know that we shall never take up arms, and they believe that, so long as England is ruled by the party of peace at any price, France will not move, and that thus they would be untrue to themselves if they did not avail to the utmost of the advantages of their position. We believe that they are right in supposing that the French will not. take nny decided step alone, but we are equally persuaded that were England to aut . France would follow. If we were engaged in war, if [ln English fleet appeared in the. Baltic, Italy would be convulsed, End the signal would be given for the French legions to take their part in the new arrangement of Europe which will assuredly be the result of the overweening presumption of German statesmen. We look forward with much regret to the prospects which are forced upon us. We have not sought them. They seem inevitable, unless at the last moment a new and different policy should obtain favour with the German Sovereigns. On this, however, we have no right to count, and we must, therefore, now prepare ourselves to expect a great and general disturbance issuing from the present conflict, which will bring to the surface many of those great questions that are, it may be allowed, quite ripe for final decision, - - —the one bent upon desecrating and devastating his native land, and the other proudly and defiantly standing in the path, and invoking the blessing of Heaven upon their cause, to fight in better cheer for the memory of such as Stonewall Jackson and J. E. B. Stuart. ~. An Ancient Bucket Engine. M. Deligny, now engaged in working the copper mines of San Domingos, in' the provence of Alem tejo, Portugal, has just sent a bucket-wheel, dating from the Roman period, to the Conservatories des Arts-et-Metiers, and a paper on the subject to the Academy of Sciences. The above-mentioned mines, where this wheel was found, were worked in the earliest ages by the first nations that peopled the Iberian Peninsula. The chief mines in Portugal were Setubal and Troya ; in Spain, the mountains of Tharsis and Zalamen, or Soloman, whither So• lomon and Hiram sent their fleets to procure the copper required for the decoration of the Temple. The great importance of these ,mines is shown by the masses of scoria) still visible around, and. which are estimated at 20 millions of tons, ac cumulated in the course of several ages; the copper extracted is thence calculated at 800,000 tons. These scoriae also reveal two different sys tems of treatment of the ore, pertaining, one to the Phoenicians, the other to the Roman period, there having been an interruption between the two, caused by the wars between Carthage and Rome, and the conquest of the country by the latter. It would appear that the Romans re sumed the working of these mines under Caesar, coins bearing his Effigy and that of Augustus having been found in them ; the working was not discontinued until the invasion of the barbarians under Honorius. An inscription preserved in the Mining School at Madrid shows that, under Nerve, the working of the mines of Thartesis Bcetica was regularly organised. The Romans worked them systematically; the waters were drained off through galleries, which in many cases attained a considerable length, as much sometimes as 1,400 metres. The ore was extracted through shafts at distances of from 26 to 40 metres. When the shafts were very deep, an additional shaft for ventilation was sunk close to the main ones; they sometimes were 80 metres in depth. But as the hard ness of the rock sometimes prevented the miners from continuing their galleries below the level of the waters, these would accumulate in certain places, and then a bucket engine was used to pump them out. The one Fell!' to the Conservatoire, and discovered at San Doutingos, is 6.66 metres in diameter. The spokes are of fir, the axle and its supports of oak. The buckets, 25 in number, are 16 centimetres in width, by 50 in length and 13 in height. All the pieces of the wheel are joined with out any metallic fittings. The wheel was set in motion by men in the manner a treadmill is worked. *ll.- quantity of water thrown out per second was 1 84 hectolitres. This wheel dates from the year 412 of our era, and his therefore existed 1,452 years ; it is certainly the oldest relic of its kind.— GaUgnani. ,SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

John wDonnell and James Mill to b e mem b ers of the Council of the island of Grenada.—Obse rver. been app 0 of i N THE OAKS.—A correspondent, writing to the Times, says It has been very accurately stated that when the French mare Fills de l'Air won the Oaks 3n Friday her triumph called forth execrations from the crowd, and the horse and her jockey had to be accompanied to the weighing stand by a strong body of police. But it has been omitted (no doubt from good motives) to state the cause of this popular indignation, and in all probability it will be attributed by the outside world, and especially by our neighbours over the water, to petty feelings of John Bullism and national prejudice. Nothing can be further from the truth, and it is well that the truth should be stated. When M. Lunin's Dollar won the great handicap at Northampton in the spring no such feeling was exhibited, and among the lovers of racing generally the principle "deter dig niori" universally prevails. But with respect to Fills de l'Air the opinion, be it right or wr ong, is nearly unanimous that her running has not been honest ; that when she started in the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes at Newmarket. although in perfect trim, s he was not allowed to win ; and, in short, that the whole thing has been a robbery.

The Flower Show at the Crystal Palace. The Flower Show at the Crystal Palace on Saturday was in every respect successful. Despite the attraction of the Volunteer Review, the nave and transepts of " the fairy palace" were thronged by a galaxy of beauty which we doubt any other country could display. We have seldom witnessed so rare a show of plants, The cultivation of roses, geraniums, and azaleas has become quite a distinct branch of art, and the care and attention which must have been given to the development of these fair children of the soil are something almost marvellous. The roses and the fruit appeared to draw the greatest attention. It would be almost impossible for a casual observer, even though a connoisseur , to say which were the best, but the decision of the judges stands unchallenged. The number of visitors, according to the official return, was 13,199. The flowers and fruit were arranged with every possible regard to the comfort and convenience of the visitors. The bands of the Cold stream and Grenadier Guards were in attendance; the great fountains played, to the delight of thousands ; the prismatic colours of the iris seemed to flit from the watery mist of each jet, as if it had been all settled beforehand by the company. Among the flowers and fruits which merit special atten tion must be mentioned the roses of Messrs. Paul and Son, of Cheshunt, and those from the grounds of Mr. Turner, of the 11)yal Nurseries, at Slough. Mr Bull, of King's. road, Chelsea, has a large collection of rare plants ; and Mr W. Mears, of Holloway, also contributed a large number of rare and hitherto unknown plants in this country. The pelargoniums of Mr Hoyle, of Slough, were choice, flue and varied in their colour. Of the orchards there wn., as is usually the case at the Crystal Palace shows, a very large collection, and their peculiar forms, rich and delicate colour. ing, and strange structure of foliage attracted, as usual, a very large portion of the attention of visitors. In fruits there were some magnificent black and white grapes , some of the former exhibited by Mr Meredith, and the latter by Mr 1111, were equal to the finest that have been shown for many years. The strawberries were large, temp ing, and no doubt of excellent flavour. The whole of the prizes for this class of fruit were taken by one fortunate exhibitor, Mr W. R. Smith of Twickenham. The raspberries, by the same exhibitor, were also very fine. Some apples and pears of this year's growth, produced in orchard houses, were a novelty.
