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 £sl2s. 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 5i per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows Da.

No. 10, Poultry, London, E.C. September, 1868. :;•_,, We have da'es from Buenos Ayres to the 21st Yovernber, and the long-meditated attack of the Allies on the position of Lopez at Villeta was ex pected to be made on the 23d or 24th November. The works extend for four miles along the mounted with a hundred cannon, mostly small field pieces. The Buenos Ayres Standard rightly judged the position to be too strong for the Allies to carry by assault. Gen. Osorio had cut his way through the woods, and in a measure outflanked Villeta, but he had a deep and rapid river to cross. It was even hinted that the threatened attack by Marshal Cax ias was only a feint to attract the enemy's atten tion while Osorio crossed the river and occupied Asuncion. The Brazilian Legation in London have received intelligence that Caxias, wi!h 20,000 men and a squadron of ships, was beyond Angestura. The latest news by telegraph was dated Paraguay, Nov. 28, and this confirmed the news previously re ceived that the Allies had made their attack, which had been repulsed by Lopez with heavy loss ; three Brazilian ironclads, in conjunction with the troops, having suffered severely. This fact, now well esta blished, changes the aspect of the war, with which the Argentine Confederation are thoroughly dis gusted. The Standard said, before the Brazilian defeat was known to it, "No further recruits will be drawn from this country or the Banda Oriental for the Paraguayan war. Brazil must henceforth rely upon herself for reinforcement." The advicea from Rio show the Brazilian determination, as an other army corps of 15,000 was about to be formed, and a decree bad been issued opening an extraordi nary credit of $6,026,000 for the Minister of Marine. It is not alone in the turn of military affairs that Lopez has been fortunate. It is now acknowledged that a conspiracy had been formed against him, which, if it did not aim at his life, did by nefarious means at his deposition ; and part and parcel of the scheme was so to defame his character as to bring him into disrepute in Christendom. We cannot believe that Mr. Washburn was a party to such_ proceedings, but he has, unfortunately for all, been so used as to give to these reports their chief colouring of probability. That the American Admiral was not deceived has been shown by his course of action, and it is probable that Gen. M'Mahon, who is spoken of by Americans at Rio in the highest terms, will ground his proceed ings on a basis of,truth, and not permit himself to be used as a tool by Brazil. Feeling great confidence, then, both in the Minister an 1 in the Admiral our 'pinion will be formed on their action ; for being inbiassed, and with discernment and ability, we have the assurance that if they act vig - mously against Lopez they will only do so when con vinced of the necessity 6f the course General Webb urged the departure of Admiral Davis and his fleet for Asuncion, without await ing General M'Mahon's arrival, but this being re sisted by the Admiral, as the General was expected in seven days, an unpleasant feeling arose between the Minister and the Admiral, which, we suppose, was not lessened by the arrival of Mr. Washburn. Both General Webb and that gentleman left Rio in the Merrimac, reaching New York on the 231 Dec. The Admiral, on the arrival of General McMahon, placed the fleet at his disposal, and proceeded with the Minister on board to Buenos Ayres, where the flag was transferred to the Wasp, the Gaerriere drawing too much water for the river. On the 21st of November the Minister left Buenos Ayres, after taking leave of President Sarmiento, the fleet having started two days before. They arrived at La Paz, and by the Beacon's advices it was thought little difficulty would be experienced in amicably arranging the question in dispute between the United States and Paraguay. Her Majesty's ship Beacon had brought down from Paraguay 15 British subjects, when the astonished people at Buenos Ayres learnt that not a single Englishman in Paraguay wishes to leave the country. The Buenos Ayres Standard, it must be mentioned, while honest and unprejudiced in its views, was inclined to side against Lopez. It now says, " The British public in the River Plate view with astonishment the extraordinary misrepresentations which have b:en made to the home Government respecting the British subjects in Paraguay, and greatly attribute this misunderstanding to the absence of a Consul or agent in that country, and also to the fact that since the time of Mr. Thornton British Ministers accredited to Paraguay have not thought proper to present their credentials to President Lopez." Two skilled English engineers are mapping the country and fortifying passes in the mountains, to occupy on which in case of necessity Lopez will fall back. The cops bad been good and provisions abundant. The Standard cannot conceal from its " home readers the fact, that if the Allies have to enter into the interior of Paraguay, to follow up Lopez through the fastnesses of his country, the elements at the disposal of Marshal Caxias are insufficient, and large reinforcements will be required." A letter is published from Marshal Caxias to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, in which the despatch of Mr. Washburn is alluded to, and his own share in the conspiracy denied. Lopez he speaks of as being crazed by his repeated defeats, and using the conspiracy as a means for gratifying his blood-thirsty nature. While asserting that he would have been justified "in promoting a reaction among the people against the enemy," he states that, from the moment he entered the country, be saw it was hopeless, and therefore did not waste time in the attempt. He says that the depositions made by Berges and Carreras, wherein extracts of his letters to them were given, were probably obtained through torture, or were mere inventions, but in no part of his letter, from first to last, does he distinctly deny having written to these people. The account of Captain Parsons of the Beacon, who was treated by the President with the greatest courtesy, ascribes to Lopez a wonderful perception and ability. The President, after sending an escort, said that all the Englishmen who desired to leave Paraguay might go ; but, with the exception of Dr. Fox, they pre ferred to remain, despatching their wives and chil dren only. Mr. Nesbit, the chief engineer, went on board with his wife, when he said it would be unfair then to abandon Paraguay. All receive high wages, regularly paid each month. Two Englishmeni,onlf s were in prison, on criminal charges, awaiting their trial according to law. Bliss and Masterman are both alive and well, and will be handed over to General M'Mahon, unless they pre fer to remain in Paraguay, which is not unlikely. " Diplomatists," says Captain Parsons,e" who have anything to do with Marshal President Lopez had better mind their Ps and Qa, as he is down upon any softness of fact or haziness of detail with an iron hand, and his searching glance reads the secret of his interlocutors' soul." Although we know nothing of Lopez beyon d watching his career, we' have, from the beg innin g , been persuaded that such extraordinary devotit n from his people was commanded only by a t m he an de o a f th ali n p e e il rior capacity. Brave men follo w to ther a poltroon nor a fool; a nd we are persuaded that Captain Parsons does The nio, t ar e a x g a u g a g y e a ra n te t t r h o e op c s ap a a re are good, of the Dictator. in high spirits ; the crops and the maize very abundant. In Kansas the cold, on the 9th and 10th Dec., was the most severe since 1855, and at St. Louis, on the 11th, the mercury touched 14 deg. below zero.--In Chicago a dentist is now called a tusk-hoister, a blacksmith a vul canist.—Four thousand dollars are now given for a pew in a fashionable church in New York.---The pews in Rev. Dr. Ellis's new church on Berkeley-street, Boston, are valued at $159,000. Thirty of them sold Tuesday Light, Dec. 22, brought $3,300 in premiums. It is estimated that there are 100,000 Spaniards in New York. Hitherto they have taken little notice of the revolution in their mother country, but they have now proposed to call a great meeting iu the Academy of Music to send words of encouragement to the friends of popular government in Spain, beseeching them to stand firm and declare for a Re public. The resolutions will request the American Go vernment to instruct the United States Minister at Madrid to throw his influence on the side of the Republicans in the event of the Cadiz uprising becoming general.
