A meeting was held in the Twenty-second ward, of p: property owners, On Tuesday night, to consider the subject. The main grievance, however. brought forward was the Taira avenue bridge. The erection of the latter was strongiy opposed by a number of those present, the ground that the wuinber. of bridges, which have to be crossed before South Brooklyn can be reached 1s detrimental to all property tying below Gowanus Canal. One of the speakers at the meeting declared that the very idea of adding sttil another bridge had a (damaging effect on prop- erty in that section of the city. On the other id it was argued that the erection of storehouses and the other improvements contempiated on the low grounds would greatly enhance the value of reai estate in that vicinity. It was stated naif a million of dollars would be expended upon the work now ip bs Sieorai redeeming me the marsues.

At daybreak of the 2ist the tron-clad sqnadron opened its fire on Angostura. A division of 5,000 men under General Menna Barreto was ready to assault the lines of Piguiciri and Angostura. Mar- hal Caxias, with 8,000 men, lay in observation of the key position of Lopez—thé heights of Lombas Valentinas—and @ corps of 3,000 men, chiefly cavalry, under the command of the Baron do Triumpho, was to go round thé extreme right of Lombas Valentinas, beat up the Paraguayan outposts’ and carry off the cattle grazing at Potreiro Marmore, which, ft may be premised, was successfully done, 3,000 head of fut cattle being bagged and brought in—a seasonable arrival to the camp of Caxias. Early in the morning Barreto’s division advanced against the lines of Piquicirl, burst through them at @ point and then swept along them, capturing about thirty cannon and large quantities of munitions, be- sides inflicting heavy losses on the Paraguayans. He also captured the advancea works of Angostura, but could not effect the reduction of the principal re- doubt, supposed to have a garrison of 800 wen and sixteen heavy cannon. In the afternoon, after the results of the attack on Piguiciri aud of the rald on the other end were known, Marshal Caxias ordered ap advance against the entrenchments ai€ng the brow of the hill of Lombas Valentinas.

A Most desperate battle must decide the fate of that place. It may occur so that news of it may overtake this mail, but more likely not. ‘The taik is everywhere that this war is about ended.
