BANK OF LIVERPOOL,

The fifth general annual meeting of the proprietors of this
establishment vial held on Tuesday last, the I:3th instant, at the
Clarendon-rooms, South John-street, Adam Hodgson, Esq., in
the chair. The report of the proceedings of the company was
read by Mr. Langton, the manager, and gave general satisfac-
tion. It stated that notwithstanding the formation of several
new companies during the past year, the present and future
prospects of the concern were of the most gratifying character.
All the anticipations that had been formed, at the last meeting,
of the advantages expected to result from the creation of new
shares have been realized. By the appropriation of 4;795 shares,
the remainder of the number that had been placed at the dis-
posal of the directors, the premiums account up to the 30th
June, 1836, amounted to t 136,881 ss. 44. Subsequent sales to
the extent of 1260 shares have been made, which produced a
further addition of i:18,900; credit for which sum will appear
in next year's balance. The clear profits of the bank, derivable
from its ordinary business, from July 1, 1835, to June 30, 1835,
after the payment of current expenses and allowance for bad
debts, amounted to £41,133 14s.
From this sum the proprietors have received two
half-yearly dividends amounting to £28,534 0 0
And a bonus at the rate of 23/4 per cent of 9,103 0
Leaving a balance of 3,40614 0

This balance has been added to the reserved surplus fund,
which fund now stands thus :
Amount stated in the last year's report .... . . £31,444 14 9
Amount of premiums to June 30,1836 136,881 5 4
Remainder of profits as above stated 3,496 14 0

Total to June 30 .£171,822 14 1
To this sum add the paid up capital of the com-
pany to the 3.lth June 364,120 0 0

£535,042 14 1
Which with additions since made, make the available capital of
the bank to amount to £567,442 14s. Id. It follows, therefore,
that, from the additional increase of capital, the shares, which
originally cost £lO each, are now intrinsically worth £l5; con-
sequently the premium, estimating the present market price of
shares at £26 each, will be only £ll on £l5, or 73 per cent—
not £l6 on £lO, or £l6O per cent, as some erroneously conclude.
The report concluded by stating, that the same liberal and pru-
dent course will be pursued by the directors as heretofore, with
constant reference to the permanent welfare of the interests
confided to their care. Three directors, Messrs. Ornierod
Heyworth, Edward Moon, and Richard H. Blundell, had to
retire by rotation; their places are now filled by Messrs. Win.
Brown, Edward Wilson. and Lawrence Ileywi;rth, jun., who
were unanimously chosen by the proprietors assembled. Thanks
wero voted to Mr.. Langton, and to Mr. Bownas, the sub.mana-
ger, for their general attention and judicious management of
the affairs of the. company.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

SPAIN.
(From the correstiondeney of the Morning Herald.)

ESPELETA, SEPT. 7.—A. heavy fall of rain, which has now
lasted four days, prevented my receiving communications from
Dan Carlos's .head-quarters until this afternoon.' Among other
papers, I have received a copy of a proclamation addressed by
Don Carlos to the'Spanish nation, calling on the people to
unite, to place themselve'sunder his paternal protection, and by
a strong effort rid themselves of the yoke of the persecuting
would-be liberals. I will send you to morrow a translation of
this document. There are various reports afloat of victories
gained by the Carlists; but I am induced to thick that faith can
only, with safety, be put in the following official letter :

" Royal Head-quarters, Aspeitia, Sept. 6.
"The Christinos, in number about 7,000 infantry, and seve-
ral squadrons of •cavalry, entered Salvatierra on the 211, and
quitted it again the next morning at break of day. During the
night they were much harassed by our guerillas. After pro-
claiming the constitution at Zalduendo, they returned to Vitto-
ria ; but our artillery at Guevara so incommoded them, that
they were obliged to quit the high road, and find their way back
by traversing fields and bye-roads."
The following letter is from an authority in whom I have
great confidence!—
" SEGURA, SEPT.• 6.—" It is reported to-day, but I cannot
trace it to any respectable source, that Gomez has entered Val-
ladolid. This much is certain—tnat he has been reoeived
throughout Castile with the greatest enthusiasm, and that he
entered the different townsand villages amidst the acclamations
of Viva Don Carlos.' _ _ .

" With satisfaction I inform you that the whole of oisr army
is in a state of the greatest activity, and that we are likely to
turn to good profit the disorganisation of society occasioned by
the claiming of the constitution of 1812.
"mould the division of Ganez be able to draw the attention
of the enemy towards Valladolid, and another of our divisions
keep possession of the high road ; should, at the same time, the
last expedition sent into Aragon, strengthened by the troops
under the command of Cabrera, make a movement forwards of
Molina and Seguenza ; then, it is my firm opinion, that ere
long the struggle will have ended, and Don Carlos enter trium-
phant into Madrid. I will keep you acquainted with all that is
worth knowing; but we hear so many reports that it is difficult
to arrive-at the truth."

I can give vou as. positive that the' oft-annihilated Gomez
completely defeated the Christinos near Guadalaxara on the
27th. The following extract of a letter received from Madrid
gives all the detail§ that I have been enabled to gather of this
affair :
" MADRID, SEAT. 2.—On the 27th Gen Gomez, with 4,000
men, attacked the Christino General, Narciso Lopez, with 2,000
men, at Jadraque. After an obstinate resistance the Christinos
were compelled to retreat, leaving in the hands of the Carlists an
'immense number of prisoners, a great many muskets, and two
pieces of artillery. The loss of killed and wounded is also con-
siderable. It is said that the battalion of the Guards which
behaved so infaolously to the Queen at the time she was forced
to sign the constitution has been nearly cut to pieces.
" The Ayuutarniento of Guadalaxara, on the afternoon of the
action, tied to Alcala, abandoning the city.
" General Rodil has gone in pursuit of Gomez. On the 27th
he was at Sepulveda, and on the 30th at- A lcala.
" We are in a most deplorable condition here, and every-
body endeavours to get away. We have now a forced loan for
200 millions of reals to -contend. with; or rather, Mendizabal
has determined on robbing and pillaging every family through-
out the kingdom. When this man—for he, after all, rules
the treasury—has reduced the country to beggary, he will have
no difficulty in getting himself named dictator. The sins of
Spaniards must have been great to have been cursed with such
a Nero!

"The church bells.are to be taken down anti coined. Thete
is also some talk of assignats.
" It is said that Espartero has had a severe apoplectic attack,
and that he is not able to remain at the head of his division.

' General Mina has gone to the coast for his health, and may
be induced—so say his friends—to try the water o❑ the French
side of the Pyrenees. The malady of this patriot is greatly in,-
creased by the ingratitude of the sans culottes of Barcelona,
who parade the streets, crying out Death to Mina!' Death

to the renegade.' "
1 have accounts front St. Sebastian, of the sth. Gen. Shaw,
having had some disagreement with General Evans, respecting
an article which appeared in the Courier, quitted the legion for
France. The Bth and 9th regiments had returned to St. Se-
bastian from Santona and Santander, preparatory—so it is ge-
nerally believed—to a break up.
ESPELETA, Septeniber B.—The brilliant victory gained by
Gomez, near Guadalaxara, is to-day fully confiimed. Not a
Christino escaped; those not killed wore made prisoners, and
all the baggage, muskets, artillery, ammunition, &c., fell into
the hands of the Carlists. Gomez, who for some time past has
had the project of forming a junction with Quilez, entered Va-
lencia on the 20th, Penafiel on the 25th, and on,the 27th at-
tacked Lopez at Jadraque. After the action Gomez took the
direction of Amanda about five leagues from Madrid, which
place he entered on the 3d. I have seen several private letters
from Madrid, they all describe the army as in a state of mutiny ;
the serjeants will no longer obey their superiors, pretending
that they proclaimed the constitution, and ought to reap the ad-
vantages of the regeneration. Already 170 officers had quitted
the service, and it was expected that ere long not a respectable
man would remain in the army. There is a general cry out
against the generals commanding in the north, and Fermin
Iriarte, the general commanding the district of Santander, has
been obliged to retire on account of ill-health. 1 am also cre-
dibly informed that General Oraa has requested permission to
retire to France, his health requiring him to take the waters I
This is the state of the arms- of the Exaltados ! Who now
doubts the ultimate, aye, speedy success of Don Carlos?
BAYONNE, September B.—On the 3d the Queen's troops made
a general movement towards Mendigorria and Larraga, with
the intentitt, it is supposed, of attacking Estella. General
Garcia accordingly proceeded with twelve battalions to the en-
virons of that city, and occupied Oteyzu, Muniatu, Morentin,
Dicastillo, and Aberin. The approach of the Christinos spread
considerable alarm in Estella, and a portion of the authorities
and inhabitants fled into the mountains. The garrison was pre-
paring to offer an obstinate resistance.
A general enuagement may shortly be expected.
General Garcia has under his orders a battalion of 350 men,
-composed entirely of deserters from the legion of Algiers. It is
called the " Battalion of the King's Chasseurs and Guides of
the General."
September 9.—On the 4th the Carlists conveyed to the neigh-
bourhood of St. Sebastian a large howitzer, which was cast in
the forge of Onate.
The recruits brought by Basilio Garcia from Aragon and Cas-
tile have been equipped and armed, and incorporated into a bat-
talion, called the Ist Battalion of Aragon. The horses have been
divided among the three battalions of Navarre.
The Carlists have been reinforced by two battalions, under
the orders of Brigadier Zubiri.
The expedition commanded by Brigadier Don Pablo Sanz
was preparing to enter Castile. The four battalions composing
that division have been paid up their arrears.
On the 6th and 7th the Carnets removed to Oroquieto, in the
valley of Ulzama, an immense quantity of ammunition; and it
is inferred from this circumstance that they intend shortly to
make another attack against the line of Valcarlos.
General Espeleta arrived yesterday at Ainegui, in France,
escorted by a detachment of Wad°, es of Navarre. •
The Gazette Extraordinary of Madrid, dated Sept. 2d, con-
tains the following special letter:—
"Your Excellency,-1 had the honour to inform you yester-
day of my departure from Atienza, and also of the movements
of the enemy up to the '27th. I was at that moment ignorant of
the fate which had befallen Brigadier Lopez, but, as soon as
the news reached me, I marched rapidly to the scene of action.
General Gomez, warned of my motions, retreated hastily upon
Brihuega, with such of the wounded as he could remove. I left
those which remained behind to the care of the authorities, and
also ordered them to be forwarded as soon as possible to Sign-
enza. This morning, at four o'clock, I marched from Bigalaro
against Gomez, who had sent his commands to the authorities
at Brihuega to convey his men to his quarters. At nine o'clock
my Chasseurs attacked his troops, and I pursued him all that
day. I retook the two pieces of cannon which were lost by
General Lopez, and also many of the prisoners which Gomez
had taken. Gomez retreated hastily on the towns of Carreden-
do and Bielices, seemingly as if he intended to go to Molino.
To-morrow I continue my pursuit, which 1 shall persevere in
until [ have exterminated him.
" God preserve your Excellency

" P.S.—Not having been able to use the two pieces of re-
taken cannon, it will be necessary that you issue orders to have
them transported to some place of safety."

THE WREN of SPAIN.—The following is an extract of a let-
ter from Madrid of the 4th inst. :—" The Qneen took an airing
-yesterday on the Prado in an open carriage, and less serenity
was retrial ked in her countenance than usual. The traits of her
face are altered, and the violent effect of the military revolt at
La Granja has shaken her health. Her mind is much troubled
hv anxiety; and it is said that M. Grimaldi, who lately set out
for Pariti, is the hearer of an autograph letter to the King of
the French. The letter, it is sail, draws the most touching. pic-
ture of the sufferings of the Queen. The people, weighed down
by a ruinous war, do not answer to the call for funds made upon
hem."
