TRIG BRITISH LAND COMPANY (LIMIXBD).—The
tenth annual meeting of the shereholden of this company
was held yesterday evening, at the London Coffee-home,
Ludgate-hill; Mr. Charles Gilpin, M.P., in the chair.
There was a very large attendaoce of shareholders. The
report of the directors coogratulated the shareholders on
the fact, that an increase bad taken place in the besieges of
the company, the sales for the year having amounted to
173,459/., as mail:int 142,3351. last year. Estates had bean
purchased at Addisoombe, Actoo, Barnes, Barnet Town,
Baxmoor, Bromley (Kent), Cheam, Dover, Dulwich, Hornsey,
Lea Bridge-road, Dayton. Leytonatone, Marto°, Plaistow,
Stevenage, Stratford-bridge, and Tottenham Station. The
annual statement showed'' balance of profit (after mita(
the interim dividend of 6,0001.) of 26,7261., and out of this
sum the directors recommended a further dividend of 5 per
emit. for the half-year. and a bonne of 7 pee cent., free of
income tax, making 17 per cent. for the year, and leaving •
balance of 11,2231. to be ca'ried forwar.". The amount of
capital called up had bean increased during the year from
120,0001. to 140,0001, by two calls of IL per share each on
the new shares. With a view to meet the iecreasing busi-
ness of the &mealy the directors have called a special
meeting of the shareholders, to propose to them to extend
the borrowing power of the company, and to authorise the
directors to avail themselves of that power to the extent of
600,0001., incise:lin the amount now borrowed. During
the year the company bad sustained a serious lac. in
the removal by death • of two of its earliest
sad most ieenential supporter'', via., Richard Cob-
des, req., M.P., and W. A. Wilkinsos, Egg.
The chairmen, in moving the adoption of the report, re-
ferred to the satisfactory position of the company, remark-
ing that he held the enviable position of chairman of a
company which declared practically • dividend of 17 per
cent. The. sales derieg the year bad bees 31,0001. more
thee those of last year, and it was a feet for congratulation
that a great deal of the old hod had been remuneratively
dispeeed of. The adoption of the report was carried mum-
monde. The retiring directors, Messrs. C. Gilpin, M.P.,
T. Beggs, and J. F. Bosterus, were re-elected. A resolu-
tion proposing that the remuneration of the directors be
increased from 1,8001. to 2,3001. w.s unammonsly agreed
to. The meeting then resolved itself into a special ore, to
extend the borrowing power of the company to the extent

The Prussian Chambers were closed to-day by
Count von Bismarck, who read the speech from the
throne. The speech says The government
opened the Diet in the hope that the desire ani-
mating the Prussian people for an arrangement
with the government would find an echo in the
representatives of the country. The first utterance
of the session, namely, the speech of the
President of the Chamber, gave expression to the
hostile sentiments of the majority of the deputies.
In harmony with this speech were the subsequent
proceedings of the Chamber, which tended not
towards peace but towards strife." The speech
then describes as unconstitutional the resolutions of
the house respecting the annexation of Lauenburg,
the Cologne banquet, and the recent decision
of ' the Supreme Court. It continues as
follows :—" In view of these aggressions, the
government asked itself the question, whe-
ther 'results favourable to the peace and
welfare of the country could be expected from
the continuation of the debates in the Diet. His
Majesty the King was desirous that the reply to
this question should be postponed until a discussion
had taken place upon a motion, in which the efforts
at mediation of a minority of the deputies could
find expression. This opportunity occurred in the
debate upon the address, proposed by Herr Reichen-
spirger. The progress of this debate did not, how•
ever, remove the anxiety of the government, that,
through the course adopted by the Lower House,
the country would be exposed to more serious dis.
union, and the future settlement of the existing
disagreements be rendered more difficult. In order
to avoid these grave oonsequences, the King
ordered that the session of the Diet should be
closed."

AUSTRIA AND ITALY.
FLOB.ENCE, Fie. 23.

To-day was the date fixed for either party to the
Austro-Sardinian treaty of 1851 to give notice of a
desire to withdraw from that convention. No such
notice has however been given, and therefore the
provisions of the treaty remain in force for the en-
suing five years, and will be applied to the entire
kingdom.
News received here from Venice announces that
the trial of the Friuli insurgents had terminated.
Three of the accused were sentenced to be im-
prisoned and kept in irons for six years, and forty-
nine for five years ; fifteen were acquitted on
account of insufficient evidence, and three others
were declared innooent. . .

To-morrow the Bank of Italy will reduce its rate
of discount to 6 per cent., and the interest on
deposits to 7 per cent.
