The prospectus of the reconstructed Agra and
Maatenium's Bank was formally issued last even-
ing, but as the object is limited to carrying on the
business of the old Agra and United Service Bank,
the title selected is " the Agra Bank (Limited).
Many of the details have already transpired in the
communications published during the last few
days. The capital is fixed at one million
sterling, as explained in the statement adopted
at the meeting of shareholders on the 18th ult.
and of this capital 400,0001. in 40,000 " A" shares
of 101. each, to be fully paid up, are now offered
for subscription, although it is intimated that
" upwards of one-half of these shares has been
already agreed to be subscribed." The object is
simply expressed as " to take over the assets and
liabilities of the Agra and Maaterman's Bank
(Limited), and liquidate the same, as a working
bank, and to continue that portion of the business
formerly carried on by the Agra and United Ser-
vice Bank (Limited)". And it is pointed out that :
The advantages which the proprietors of the shares now
offered will receive are :-1. The benefit of an old estab-
lished and profitable busineu, without any payment for
goodwill. 2. They will have a preference dividend out of
profits for two years of 10 per cent. per annum on their
paid up capital. :1. They will have the option at once, or
at any of the before-named periods, of paying up the whole
amount of 101. per share ; diviaends being allowed 'on all
payments pro rata. The liability on the shares will there-
fore be actually, and not nominally, limited.
The board comprises sik highly respectable names,
and three more are to be added. The subscription

list is to be closed for London on the 12th, arid for
the country on the 13th inst., and applications are
to be considered in the order of their receipt.
It may be proper to remark that the proposal
adopted by the shareholders, at the meeting on
the 18th ult., has been modified by the Share-
holders' Committee, in the undermentioned points :
The instalments to the creditors to make ap 20a. in the
pound, with interest to be paid as follows :-15s. in the
pound in January, 181:;, making, with the ss. in the
pound already paid, 10s. in the pound, together with
I interest from the 7th June, 1866, the date of the stoppage,
at 5 per cent. per annum, both on the sa. in the pound
already paid and on the ss. in the pound now proposed to
be paid; 2. 3e. in the pound in July, 1867, with interest
at 5 per cent. per annum from 7th June, 1866 ; .1. Is. in
the pound in April, 186$, with interest at 5 per cent. per
annum from 7th June, 1866; 4. 4s. in the pound in Oc-
tober, 1868, with interest at 5 per cent. per annum from
7th June, 1866.—The first of the above instalments to be
paid in cash, the other three to be secured by promissory
notes of the Agra Bank (Limited), with interest added to,
and forming part of each instalment.—No dividend will
be paid on the Scrip Certificates or B shares (but if earned,
will be reserved) until the creditors' claims shall have been
satisfied, or the Agra Bank (Limited) shall have offered to
discount their promissory notes intended to be now given
to the creditors for the three last of the above instalments.

Prince Charles of Hohenzollern, Hospodar of
Wallachia, travelled from Itutachuk by the new
Varna Railway, en route from Bucharest to Con-
stantinople. Had he gone round by the old route,

VIOLENT HURRICANE AT NASSAU. -The Ad-
miralty have received from Commander A. J. Chatfield,
captain of Ler Majesty's ship Nimble, an account dated
New Providence, Oct. 9, of • terrific hurricane in
which that vessel was blown ashore in the harbour of
Nassau, on a sandy bottom, in 64 feet of water, without,
however, receiving the slightest damage. The writer
thought 'the ship would be got off by the 10th instant.
The scene on shore was, it appears, terrible : the town in
ruins ; not a single vessel (of some hundreds the day be-
fore in the h.,rbour) remained ; the government-house,
barracks, hospital, and officers quarters were unroofed
1 and partially blown down. Nearly all the houses in the
town were partially or wholly unroofed, and four chapels
blown down. The salt water bad blownn over the island.
The accounts from the other islands re very dreadful,
and there was great Wes of life and property. The gre ttest
extent of the storm was 100 to 1130 miles over the Ha-
-1 ham's.
ScULLEIti. RACE FOR £loo.—The 'cullers' race
between John Augustine Cattle, • waterman of the Old
Swan, London-bridge, and William S.dler, a waterman
for
's
apprentice, of Puteey, came off yesterday afternoon
501. • side in old-fashioned boats. Both the men are well-
known. There is not such • disparity in their age as there
Is in their stature and weight, Caffin standing 6f t. L'in.,
and weighing 125t.121h. ; and Sadler standing Mt. 44in.,and
weighing 9st 121 h., their ages being about 25. Both were in
1 good condition. but unfavourable rumours were about. and
as much as Bto 1 was laid on Catlin. Two steamers ac.
eompanied with large part sea. Mr. J. Ireland was referee.
Messrs. H. Salter and G. Hammerton were umpires for Catlin
and Sadler respectively, while Robert Bain and Henry
Kelley were pilots. Catlin won the toss and took the Mid-
' dlesex side, on a stiff noser and tide nearly done. He took
1 the lead by half • length, and Sadler rowing very badly was
cleared at the Star and Garter, Caffin leading by three
1
r length at the point, and four at Hammersmith. Sadler,
in fact, was never in the race, and was beaten by eight or
ten lengths. The time was over thirty minutes.
