Report of the Directors for the year ending the 30th June, 1868, read at the Annual General Meeting of Proprietors, August 14, 1868—Colonel CHARLES WETHERALL, K.C.T., Chairman of the Company, in the chair. The proprietors will no doubt remember that at the last annual general meeting a report was made to them for the quinquennial period then terminating, and that a bonus was declared in respect of it amounting to the sum of £208,774. The surplus fund account, as under, commences with the balance of June, 1867, after deduction of this bonus—that is to say, with the debit of £772,740 13s. 9d. SURPLUS FUND ACCOUNT. 30TH JUITE, 1868.

The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £544,466 9s. 2d., and the total outgo £409,654 14s. sd. ; the diffe rence, or the sum laid by—viz., £134,811 14s. 9d.—raises the fund again to £907,552 Bs. 6d. The interest received during the year is £117,584 7s. 3d., arising from the productive portion of the realised assets of £2,897,157, mentioned in the last year's report. The whole assets, productive and unproductive, may there fore be considered as having improved at the rate of rather more than 4 per cent. ; or, if the profit shown of £46,070 13s. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, be in cluded, at upwards of £5 12s. per cent. The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 is. 9d., and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re assurances. The claims on decease of lives assured are nearly iden tical in amount with those of 1866. They are less than those of last year by nearly £19,000. A considerable reduction, too, appears in the amount of premiums paid for re-assurance, many of the risks re-assured having terminated by death and other causes. The expenses of management are less than those of last year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges incurred in the final closing of the two officeslast absorbed by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 5f per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : DR.

TheDenverPacific Railway Bill was considered, and finally referred to the Committee on Public Lands. Mr. Paine, of Wisconsin, offered a resolution direct. ing the Reconstruction Committee to report what action ought to be taken in regard to the represen tation of Georgia.

The Indian Appropria tion Bill was taken up, but not disposed of. Mr. Boutwell's Constitutional Amendment and Bill re lating to Suffrage were discussed. THE INDIAN WAR. General Sherman and family left St. Louis, on the 27th January, for New Orleans, and General Sheridan was daily expected to return to that city from the Plains. This looks like the end of the war, as nearly all the Indians will go on the reser vation set apart for them. The main body of the troops will soon be withdrawn from the Plains, and will concentrate at Fort Leavenworth for distribu tion at other points. The latest despatches re ceived were from Generals Sheridan and Hazen, dated from Fort Cobb, Dec. 31, 1868. They re ported the operations of a column from Fort Bas com, under command of Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel A. W. Evan, 3d Cavalry. Sheridan says It left Bascom, Nov. 17, established its depot on the Main Canadian, at the mouth of Monument Creek, east from Bascom 185 miles. From this depot, on the 7th of December, Brevet Lieutenant. Colonel A. W. Evans marched with a detachment of Com panies, A, C, D, F, G, and I, 3d Cavalry, and Com pany I, 37th Infantry—travelling in the direction of the Antelope Hills. Oa reaching a point near liiowa Creek, 31 miles cast of the depot, a trail of about 50 lodges of Cheyenne Indians was struck, which was followed over to the North Fork of Red River, and thence down that stream, the trail con stantly increasing, until it became very large. The trail was hotly pursued, the Indians abandoning their surplus property, until it led i n t o a canon near the junction of Elm Creek and the Salt Fork of Red River, when Colonel Evans made a detour to pass around the canon into which the trail led, and which brought him at noon of Christmas Day into a large village of Comanches of 60 lodges, just south of the junction of Salt Fork with Elm Creek, which was totally burned. The Indians attacked his advance, but were driven from the village, with the loss of everything it contained, the women and children escaping on the horses of the warriors, in some cases as many as four on one horse. The vil lage was very rich, containing over five tons of dried buffalo meat, 100 bushels of corn, also flour, meal, coffee, sugar, soap, cooking utensils, mats, robes, &c. The Indians kept up fighting during the day and the next morning, but there was not much fight in them. Three enlisted men were wounded, one mortally. The number of Indians killed is unknown. Colonel Evans took the main trail again on the 26th, which led west, but being out of provisions, except beef, had to give it up. The greatest praise is due to Colonel Evans and his command. It marched twenty-four days in snow, rain, and intensely cold weather, without tents of any kind, and finally struck this effective and heavy blow. I had known through Gen. Hazen and the Indians of this marauding village. It was composed mostly of individuals from the tribe of Comanches located here, who had reported them to me after my arrival, fearing they might be im plicated in their murdering and thieving expedi tions on the frontier settlements of Texas. I can assure the General that he need not expect a continuance of murders and robberies from the Indians in my department hereafter, if one can judge from the demoralization which this winter's campaign has produced among them. The weather has been very bad, with snow, rain, and intense cold." The Indian CommisSioner, General Hazen thus replies to the animadversions on the destruction of Black Kettle's band : —" I notice that the papers are stating that Black peaceable - Kettle's camp, destroyed by Custer, were Indians on ther way to their reservation. In his talk with . me some five or six days before he was killed, Black Kettle st ated that many of his men were then on the war pat h, and that people did not want peace with th e people above the Arkansas. his His people were then engaged in trouble on the S o l omo n, and their reservation was not in this sec tion of country at all. a o p f l es t l y e Philadelphia e , C 37 a h e r i Childs, os t e he ar pLo a p l ri i e n to N r has marked his visit to Rom e b y th e e n oticed last week, dis tinguished elsewhere. He has recently given t wo Mr. George W. same magnificent hospitality for which he is of his personal friends, and several di nne rs, at which Mr. Longfellow, the A mer i can Poet, many dis tinguished American artists were present. We do no t mention names, as the entertainments were of a private character. The resources of the Hotel de l'Europe were taxed to their utmost, and the result was magnificent. The decorations consisted largely of flowers, which covered the sides of the staircase front the ground floor of the hotel to the third storey, where the dinner was served. The dining-room, which was one mass of flowers and blaze of light, was arranged in the most tasteful manner. The cost of one entertainment for twent seven ersons was not less tha,soofr., and of this am y. ount 1,6 p 00f. were spent on the flow n er l7 s. aNples and Florence Observer. The Rev. Abram Newkirk Littlejohn, D.D., who lately accepted the Bishopric of Long Island in preference to that of Western New York (to which he was elected at nearly the 1311116 time), has been consecrated in the Church of the Holy Trinity, Brooklyn. Among those present were the Bishops of Oregon, isrebraska, Maine, Colorado, Kansas, Pittsb urg h, W estern Now 'York, and Bishop Potter of New York, and most of the clergy of Long Island and New York.
