At the Annual General Meeting of the Proprietor:l,lold on Thursday, the 4th Februa7, 1869, at the City Ter minus Hotel, Cann in-street Station, the following Report for the year ending the 31st December, 1863, was read by the Secretary. WILLIAM NICOL, Esq., in the chair. The Directors, in presenting to the Proprietors the Ba lance-sheet of the Bank for the half year ending the 31st December last, have the pleasure to report that, after pay ing interest to customers, and all charges, allowing for re bate, and making provision for bad and doubtful debts, the net profits amount to £84,649 18s. 5d- This sum, added to £4,092 3s. 4d., brought forward from the last account, produces a total of £8.4,742 Is. 9d. The usual Dividend of 6 per cent. for the half-year is recommended, together with a Bonus of 2I per cent., both free of income tax, which will absorb £82,924 16s. 11d., and leave £5,817 4s. 10d. to be carried brware. to Profit and Loss New Account. The Dividend for the whole year 1868 will thus be 161 per cent. The Directors have to announce the election of Lord Alfred Hervey as a Director, in the room of the Right Honourable Hugh C. E. Childers, M.P., who has accepted office in the present Administration ; the election of James Morley, Esq., in the room of E. W. T. Hamilton, Esq., M.P., who retired on account of ill-health, and the elec tion of Thomas Stock Cowie, Esq., in the room of J. E. Anderson, Esq., whose removal to reside in the West of England compelled his retirement. The Directors retiring by rotation are : John William Burmester, Esq., John Fleming, Esq., and William Champion Jones, Esq., _ _ News from Buenos Ayres gives the details of the great fight on the 11th Dec., at Villetta. On the sth the Allies crossed the left bank of the Paraguay and commenced acir advance on Villeta, but early on th;; morning of the 6th they were attacked by the Paraguayans. According to a Brazilian ac count, " The Paraguayan infantry charged. our lines with that headlong and desperate valour for which they have ever been distinguished ; on, like a living wave, they came cheering wildly ; and literally sprang on the Brazilian line. These latter were prepared, however. Foot to foot, and breast to breast, the issue was decided ; again and again, with headlong bravery, their officers, with waving swords, leading them on, they charged ; bayonet and butt end renewed their deadly work, but the result was ever the same. - -At last, after three three hours' desperate. .fighting . they retired, fol lowed for some distance, hewn and ridden down by the Rio Grande cavalry." Marshal Caxias had one horse killed under him and another wounded. General Machado was killed; Augollo dangerously wounded, besides six Brazilian colo nels and about 60 officers placed hors de com bat. Lopez retired within his fortifications, but next day came out and had another sharp fight. On the 9th Caxias ordered a gene ral advance on Villeta, when a battle toak place, in which the Brazilians lost 600 men ; and on the 12th the Marshal pushed to a place called Ivahy, where the Paraguayans had made a stand. The Brazilian cavalry charged, took the pass with the guns, completing, the capture of Villeta, and clearing the road to Angostura. A telegram from Marshal Caxias says that 10 pieces of artillery and 500 priso ners had been captured by the Allies. Other accounts state the Paraguayans lost 6,000 killed and wounded. After resting ten days to recruit and equip for fur ther action, the three Brazilian Army Corps moved to the attack of Lomas Valentines, nine miles from Villeta, were some 7,000 Paraguayans were posted with 50 cannon. The Brazilians numbered about 18,000 men. The fighting commenced on the 21st of December, and continued till the 24th, when Lopez was summoned to surrender, but he refused, stating his determination to fight to the last. On the 27th the chief redoubt was carried, when Lopez retired into a wood, where hestill held out, as did An gostur a,to the latest date, but theßrazilians state they have captured even his luggage. Theßrazilians were repulsed three times, but on the fourth attack they succeeded with frightful loss, taking, according to their own account, 45 cannon. The Argentine troops at Palmas rendered no assistance. General Gelly y Obes has resigned, and the Argentine Government has appointed General Emilio Mitre to the com mand-in-Chief of the Argentine forces. It is thought at Buenos Ayres that the mission of Senor Hector Varella, Prime Minister of the Argentine Confederation is to offer peace to Lopez, even at the risk of a breach with Brazil, and the signifi cance of this is that it followed the fall of Villeta. It is, ' however, announced that pub lic opinion in Paraguay has undergone a change as indicated by the fact that several families have sought refuge in the Brazilian camp, and the wives and daughters of wounded prisoners have proceeded there to nurse them. The American squadron has returned, Gen. 51‘Mation's mission having been successfully executed. The proceedings of Mr. Washburn still furnish a fertile subject for dis cussion to the Buenos Ayres press. A history of his mission is given, which we will perhaps next week condense for the information of our readers, as the charges arc explicit, and ought to be re- butted by the ex-Minister. We see by the Atue- ricau papers that that gentleman had a conversa tion with a correspondent, of which this is the sum- mary :—" Lopez, the Paraguayan tyrant, is a man weighing nearly 300 pounds, and not over five feet five inches higid. The Mr. Bliss who was taken from Mr. 1% ashburn's side is a native of Cattarau- gus county, New York. He is exceedingly accom .. plished in learning and the languages, and was found by Mr. W. editing a paper for Lopez and writing a book on Paraguay. Mr. Washburn says that our entire trouble arose from Lopez intercepting and reading his despatches, wherein the opinion was ex pressed that Paraguay was in a desperate condi tion and Lopez was a despot. Mr. Washburn had very little ilea that he should get away with his life. Washburn himself is a square, solid, rather short man, with a marked face, short, dark hair, an agreeable manner, and the intelligence of an ob- server and a journalist. Ho proposes to write a Agazine article concerning the state of affairs on ,he La Plate." BANK OF FRANCE. PARIS, Feb. 4.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] —Henceforth no one will doubt the valuable properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Re va l en t a A rabica Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings it has already received from Invalids whose position had been deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holiness the Pope, whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years of unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the " Gazette du 31151," July 25th :—" Rome, July 21,1866. - The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other reme dies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, of which he consumes a plateful at every meal. It has produced a surprisingly beneficial effect on his health, and his Holiness cannot praise this excellent food too highly." We extract a few out of more than 68,000 cures:--Cure No. 58,216, of the Marchioness de Brehan, of seven years' liver complaint wasting away, debility, nervousness, with a nervous palpitation, all over, bad digestion, constant sleeplessness, and the most in tolerable nervous agitation.
