THE HOME:LISS POOR. The destitute pauper who seeks admission Into the workhouse of the Strand Union has by no means concluded his ordeal when he receives his ticket from the inspector on duty at Bow-street. We have seen that, before arriving even at this stage, he has given his name, age, birthplace, last occupation, name of parents, causes of destitution, and iutentious for the future ; that he has been searched and admonished, had all particulars con cerning him entered in a book or (3-sheet, and after isusweriug questions satisfactorily and proved to have less than fourpence in his possession, is warned that continuous vagrancy will surely bring him to prisou entrusted with a slip of paper, and directed to Cleveland-street, Fitzroy-square. On a receut evening we saw some of these slips of paper preseuted, and marked the further precautions taken against imposture. Neither the fact of having successfully passed the searching examination of the police nor the production of the Bow-street passport entitles applicants to a bed until they have answered or parried another series of ques tions, been carefully scrutinised at the gate, and again admonished by a parochial functionary, who enters the particulars concerning them in a book, and at length utters the welcome words, " You way go in." At ten minutes to nine on the evening, we quote, J. W—, aged 40, and —, his wife, aged 42, presented themselvea. He was a dirty, unshaven, shambling fellow, a resi dent in the parish of St. Clement Danes, and well known as a frequent applicant for relief. A refer ence to the workhouse books of a few weeks back proved him to have been the first person admitted into the casual ward for several nights running. Both he and his wife—a careworn, wretched crea ture, with limp and flaccid garments and unwashed face—stated that they bad walked the streets the whole of the preceding night. When told that they need not have done this, and asked if they remained without shelter from choice, they replied that no other workhouse would receive them and that a Mr. (not a police o ffi cer) had ref uted to give them a ticket for this. These second examinations took place in the workhouse yard, the paupers standing at the door of the porter's lodge, while a young man in uniform inside first asked the ques tions. and then posted up the book. J. W— and his wife were now sent into the house, after being rather sternly reminded that they were " old hands, ' and in the habit of seeking parish aid. B. W—, a young man of 20, whose coat was pinned up to the throat to conceal the absence of shirt, came next. He bore a troubled, anxious look, mil uncertain as to the result of these inquiries, and uneasy as to his fate if he failed to give satisfactory replies. He was a labourer, and willing to work at anything he could get, had cones from Birmingham, where he had been employed in some iron works, and was now making his way back to Birmingham again. In answer to the questions pressed upon him as to his latest whereabouts, he said he had slept at the Greenwich Union last 'light., the Graveseuti one the night before, and at that of Maidstone on the night before that. He bad tried hard for work, but had been obliged to live on what had been given him on the road, and was now hoping to gain em ployment ou his return hums. B. W. then limped into the house, after having meekly thanked the official for the permission ac corded him to go in. The next youth looked tramp and vagabond to the backbone, and prevaricated and shuffled terribly during his exami nation. A boot and shoemaker by trade, who bad not worked at his own calling since May, 1862, he bad great difficulty in accounting for his proceedings during the last eighteen months. He had slept at Woolwich last, where he had been looking for work at the docks—the most frequent answer in all the cases we have heard—and had been in Dover for one month, at home doing nothing for six months, and at Chatham, where a relative was stationed with his regiment, for three weeks more. " Well, that's only eight months out of the eighteen. What have you been doing for the remaining ten ?" re ceived " About the country looking for work" for answer, and was thought most unsatisfactory by the official questioning. " Your relative at Chat ham wouldn't be at all pleased to see you. I'm sure," was met by " He's a soldier, sir, in the re giment," which if inconsequent was not without its pathos, especially when, " Why don't you enlist then instead of corning here r' elicited, " I tried to, air, only the doctor rejected me, he did indeed." There was no gaining any further information as to the ten months unaccounted for, and the lad was here per mitted to enter the house, having as it seemed un dergone no small amount of mental worry and an noyance in return for the one night's shelter to be given him. W. C. was a man of 29, and a sawyer seeking work. He had never been in London until that night, had been out of employment three weeks, and had only slept in two unions (Ware and Hertford) before. He was a decent-looking, civilly-spoken fellow, who apparently felt acute) the degradation of having to accept assistance at all, and his manifest discomfort as query after query was levelled at him, made one wish all these preli minary formalities could be gone through at one time, and their mortitications be swallowed in a single dose. These people, one and all, seemed puzzled and dazed at having to again furnish forth biographical details, within half an hour of the same details being entered on the archives of Bow-street ; and however admirable and complete may be the precautions taken by these finar dians against an improper and lavish distri bution of parochial alms, it seems cer tain that they will cause an undue pressure upon the various night refuges, and upon workhouses which do not refuse to admit on application at their doors. This the guardians of the Strand Union decline to do, and the reason assigned illustrates not inaptly the anomalies and absurdities of the parochial sys tem. The workhouse in Cleveland-street pays taxes as a private house to the parish of St. Pancras, and any dweller on the lame side of the way becoming indigent has a claim on the workhouse of that pariah, while opposite neighbours, as we are told, belong to St. Marylebone. Thus, as none of the people living in the immediate vicinity are eligible, and as no casual wayfarers or wanderers can oome in without first being certificated at Bow street, the result is that admission to the workhouse door is practically denied. Whether this be legal or illegal is another question. It seems to be op posed both to the letter of the law and the spirit of the regulations of the Poor-law Board, and it is therefore right to add, that we were told, as a sort of saving clause, that '• the master wouldn't mind, perhaps, admitting a woman who was very ill, just going to be confined, or the like of that." The people whose admission we have just described were all to be bathed before they alept, another rule which is expected to effect a vast reduction in the number of applicants for shelter and relief. Prior to their bath they would have five ounces of bread and a pint of broth for their supper, and in the morning six ounces of bread and a pint of gruel, before picking a prescribed quantity of oakum in return fur the hospitality received. The regula tions adopted have already caused a considerable decrease in the number of people sheltered, as the following 6,;ures show :—Ou the week ending the 29th October, 55 men, 26 women, 6 girls, and 6 boys, making &total of 89, were admitted into these casual wards. On that ending the sth November, 76 men, 24 women, 6 boys, and 2 girls, making a total of 108. On that waling 12th November, 66 men, 22 women, 10 boys, and 1 girl—total, 99 ; and on that ending November 19, 67 men, 23 women, 11 boys, and 7 girls—total, 108. The week ending December 2, when the police tickets were first made au indispensable condition, the num bers relieved were 48 men, 5 women, and 2 infants— total, 55—or but little more than half the average number during the preceding month. Three out of the tickets given out at Bow-street have never been brought in, their owners losing their way, or fearing the discipline in store for them, and it is a curious speculation as to what became of the paupers, who, we may fairly assume, were deterred from applying through dread of the interior of a police office, or were refused tickets as unworthy. The night refuge in Newport-market, which admits, after due ques tioning and examination, on application at the door, was, during this very time, full to overflowing. The hour for admitting here is half-past 5 in the afternoon, and though accommodation is provided for from 80 to 100 men, 50 women, and 30 boys, who, in addition to being housed, have eight ounces of bread and half a pint of hot coffee at night and morning, many poor wanderers were perforce turned away daily for want of room. This, be it remembered, when the casual wards of many workhouses, besides the one we have in- I steamed, were confessedly far from full. Indeed, the impression of all the parochial officials with whom we have been in communication seems to be that the preparations made will more than meet any demand actually made. If this be true, and 'the homeless can only be made to understand and appreciate the system of examination, bathing, and work, if it can only be brought thoroughly home to the various guardians that in this country desti tution constitutes • right to help ; if, in short, the new wards are not rendered useless by churlish obstructiveness and a rigid determination to restrict their capabilities to the minimum, our streets may yet be relieved of much of the helpless, hopeless misery which has been such a stigma on us all. We are bound to say that in every workhouse we have visited something has been done. That something does not always correspond with the requirements of the law, and does not invariably entitle the guardians to make • claim upon the common fund, but so far as the mere increase in the number of beds, and augmented provision for the reception of "casuals" goes, efforts, some of them more or lees restricted in their result, have been made. Thus, at Lambeth, in place of beds for 16 men and 20 women on the old plan, there are now 31 for men and 31 for women, and both in fitness, cleanliness, and ventilation, the new casual wards in this workhouse are models for the rest. Up a staircase leading from a side yard, and in a tolerably lofty chamber, are ranged the trays wherein the beds are put. These are divided by the usual strip of wood, and move on hinges at the pillow end, so as to give facilities for the floor to be scrubbed and swept, and above each division have a partitioned shelf for the sleeper's clothes. The men and women will enter by separate doors, and be kept at opposite ends of the building, but in every case, save serious ill-health, will be subjected to a bath before they are permitted to retire. These baths are not yet erected, but are expected to be in full operation in a fortnight from this date. Meanwhile each male pauper works for two bells (If hour) on the mill before leaving in the morning, and all people admitted have six ounces of bread at night, and eight next day. During the week ended last Saturday, 62 men, 92 women, and 58 children were taken in here, or, reckoning two children as one adult, little more than a third of the number for which the new wards will provide. The workhouse at Clerkenwell is a cramped old-fashioned building, little suited for its purpose, but even here something has been done since the passing of the new act. The num ber of beds has been increased, and every available loft and cellar has been pressed into the service. Out of the narrow, gloomy, flagged yard, where the dark and lofty buildings shut out light and air, are steps leading into what seems to have been wine or owl cellars, but in which beds are now ranged. Here the casuals sleep, but it is note worthy that as there is space neither for the labour test nor that of the bath, the Clerkenwell guardians cannot claim back any money they ex pend on the casual poor. Thus, when their wards are full there will be uo attempt to relegate appli cants to the lodging-houses, and we were told during our visit that if " 30 men are taken in we consider we do our proportion." It is this restricted view of the claims of the houaeless poor, shared, as it appears to be, in a greater or lees degree by every board of guardians in London, that makes us doubt, even now, whether the improvements we have named will be effectual. The parochial mind is slow to receive impressions which involve outlay, even with the certainty of reimbursement; and an utterly erroneous opinion is abroad that when wards are full, or a "fair proportion" have been relieved, responsibility ceases, or, at all eventa, is consider ably lessened. It cannot be too widely known that this is the reverse of the fact, and that every one of the people excluded, say from the establish ment in Moutt.street, or that of St. Martin's, has as strong a claim upon the guardians as if their wards were empty. The law provides that urgent necessity shall entitle all corners to relief, and neither the crowded state of a workhouse, nor the doubts of any official engaged in it, would prove a justification if serious consequences were to ensue upon • refusal to admit. Whether we have a right to place an inordinate number of impediments in the way, to insist upon obnoxious rites, and to make our necessary charity as repulsive as possible, is another ' question, and one upon which it is not difficult to pronounce judgment. We refrain, however, from criticising the bath test until we have had a fuller opportunity of watching its working than has been possible at present ; but it may be safely said that whatever is declared necessary by one pariah should be enforced by its neighbour, and that no reform will be effectual until uniformity of action has been secured. In the lack of this, in the petty jealousy and covert hostility too frequently displayed by one local board against another, and in the want of means for immediately compelling stupid, stingy, or churlish guardians to do their duty, may be discerned the most serious blots on the present system of relief.

Yr. W>Beg thalchairman of the Briclge-bonaeCommittee, said that a return had been furnished to him, by which it appeared that on the first day of the opening of the bridge 12,000 foot grangers pealed over it., and on the sixth that number was increased to 15,900. For the same period the number of cabs was respectively 931 and 1,615 • of single bone 411 and 859 ; and of two-horse carts, 60 and Z 4. These num be was informed, had since that period coo eklerably inclined, but he thought it right to inform the court that the :rune were supplied to him by giros employed by the Bridge Company, and he coosidered it would be as well that purr should be employed by the corporation to check the future returns. In answer to a question put by another honourable member, es to the amount of heavy traffic that pared over the bridge, Mr. Winn rid that only Sr. four-lune 'regions pared over the bridge on the first day, sad six on the sixth. THE MOM= NEW COURTS or JOSTICE. The lignmthgancia reported to the court that he had received from the government the drafts of two bib; in tended to be introduced into parliament in reference to the erection of new courts of law, and as to the mode of raising the means to defray the cost thereof. The government were very anxious to proceed with the matter, and the drafts of the bills had been seat thus early in order that the corpora. Lion might hare an opportunity of express* their opinion upon the subject. The matter was referred to the City Lands Committee. rersuiurcz or coaroaAnoN rzoriarr. Yr. R. J. Owl.= brought forward a mottos that it should be submitted to the City Lands Committee to take into consideration whether it would not be advisable that the valuable property comprised in the Guildhall sod the Narrow:shag buildings should be adequately insured against any loss by fire. Deputy Boss said that the corporation had hitherto always been their own insurers, and he doubted the pro piety of altering that system. If they insured the Guild -411 they must insure all the other property Waning to the corporation, and thus a very large outlay would be le curved. He suggested, therefore, that the matter should be referred to the City Lands Committee, for them to consider whether it would be advisable that any alteration should be made. Mr. CHAPLIN Mid he hal no objection to this being done ; hie only object was to let it be known that the whole of the valuable property in the Guildhall, and the still more valuable property contained in the ldansion-house, were entirely unprotected by insurance spinet fire, sad the oolirt would deal with the matter as it thought beet. TILE RAILWAY INVASION Or THE arr. Deputy Lorr, the chairman of the special railway com mittee appointed to consider the different railway @charges submitted to parliament last session affect* the City of London, brought up • report of their proceedings, and 'ek ing to be allowed to continue to sot in watehiag any new schemes that might be introduced. There was oleo • re port from the same committee of the amount of money they had expended. By this last-mentioned report it appeared that the grow amount expended in opposing the ten schemes that had been introduced into parliament daring last meg aton, the whole of which more or lass affected the City of London, was dome upon 4,000 k, of which sum 7501. was paid is fees to the Recorder, about 9001. to the Common fferjearit, and the total amount of fees paid to counsel was considerably more than 2,0001. Mr. Haywood, the engineer to the Commiasioogre of Sewers, had, it appeared, also sent in a claim for 2101., which wir - Cochicied u the 4,0001. The rest was made up of parliamentary fees ►nd other expenses. These reports gave rise to rather • warm discussion. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR =Wed AS AR amendment that the por tion of the report which reoommanded the contionatioo of the committee should not be agreed to. This amendment was carried, upon • division, by a majority of twenty, and the other portions of the reports w ere agreed to. Tat arPI.LT OF GAB TO THI CITT. Petitions were presented by Sir F. G. Moon, and Deputy Rath, from the inhabitants of the words of Portaiken and Cripplegate, praying the court to take some step for the relief of the inhabitants from the injurious monopoly they now suffered in the supply of gas, and to have the supply increased, the quality improved, and the price lowered. The court wee also prayed to take the necessary steps to procure an act of parliament to enable the corporation to supply the consumers within the City, and thus put an end to the present unsatisfactory, expensive, and insufficient supply. A number of the inhabitants of the wards in question 'Melded in support of their petitions, and in answer to questions put to them by seemed member of the court, they expressed themselves in strong terms with referee.* to the bad quality and inantficiest supply of gas furnished to them by the different companies. A short dissurnon took place, daring which Deputy Lorr expressed his opinion that the carburetting system in the " tin pots," as be termed them, filled with naphtha, that were pl►ced in the street lamps, was the caws of their giving so little light, and eventually both petitions were referred to the General Purposes Committee. The court shortly afterwards adjourned. MR. LINCOLN'S REJILIICTION. A meeting of the workmen of South London was held yesterday evening at the Lambeth Baths ; the Be►. NEWMAN HALL in the Chair. The ClLonnatt, who was loudly cheered on searing the room. briefly explained that the object of the meeting was to adopt an address to Mr. Lincoln, congratulating him on his re-election to the presidential chair of America, in the conviction that that re.eleinion wee decisive of the fate of slavery. The controversy. be said, respecting slavery was of old date in America. Nearly fifty years ago, when the States were all united, the division of opinion arme, but each State being paramount within its own boundaries no unani mous line of conduct could be adopted, and for a long time the pro-slavery party reigned dominant in the government. They filled the presidential chair, and all the public offices, for many years, until at last the antislavery party suc ceeded in returning Mr. Lincoln. From that marmot the Southern States were in rebellion. They began in treachery, they drew the first sword, they struck the first blow, and the Washington government merely did their constant:Meal duty in resisting the rebellion. Osteesibly the Washington government were fighting for their government and empire, but in feet they were fighting for the abolition a slavery. During the war a million and a half of slaves bad been emancipated, and several former slave States had abo lished slavery. Under them circumstantial the trainers of the address were justified in looking spin the malectien of Mr. Lincoln as an emphatic declaration of the American people easiest slavery. ((byers.) There were two politi cal parties in the North, the democrats and republicans. The democrats mid, " Let us have the Union restored, slavery or no slavery ;" whilst the cry of the republicans was, • The Union, and the abolition of slavery. "' It was by the republicans that Mr. Lincoln was re-elected, and therefore be (Mr. Hall) said that his re.election was a national declaration in favour of negro emancipation. (Loud cheers.) With these observations he would call on Mr. Murphy to rend the address. Mr. Murphy came forward and road the following address : TO 1111 EXCELLENCY ABRAHAM LINCOL2I, PRINIDENT OP THE UNITED STATES OF AIIfJUCA. _ . _ _ _ tbeWOriciniort:;a 8;1171oodes, in public meeting assembled, present our most respectful but hearty congratulations on your re-election to the presidential chair. We rejoice in the manner in which that electioe was con• doctad, se well as at its results, proving, as it has dose, that the possession of full political power by the mince of the people does not tend to lawlessness, eves when exer cised under extremely trying eircumatureas. We regard the action of the decisive majority which has *pin placed yen in power as another proof that the peat nation over which you preside is pledged to connect the restoration of the lieioe with freedom for the negro, sod with his being ultimately placed before the law on a perfect equality with the white man. We lamest the great suffennp caused by this war, as we abhor the treachery by which it was coo mended, and we earnestly pray that peace may soca be established, not by such unholy compromise as would cause a speedy renewal of the war, but a peace which, bei ng righteous, will also be permanent. We deprecate the en , just and unkind remarks of a portion of our press and peo ple in reference to yourself and the great cause you repro. sent ; but these must no more be regarded as a fair repro ' sentation of the opinion of Great Britain, than the state meets of some papers and public men in America respect ing this country are to be taken es a fair representation of the opinions of America, In conclusion we beg to arum you of our earliest prayers that Almighty God may lung preserve your life, and give you all needful help i n the in, position you tare been called to rwocenpy at this important crisis ; and hoping that America will soon be re united and free, sad that your nation and our own may ever be toyed in perfect agreement for the good of the world and the glory of God, we bad you farewell.

EDWARD& - - - This wee an action beorihibytirilaintiff, an omnibus conductor, spinet the defendant, au sepgeant. carrying on burins at 15, Union-court, Old ntreet, City, to recover the sum of 1001., mosey received by the defendant for the use of the plaintiff. The defendant pleaded diet, not guilty' seoondly, payment; and thirdly, set-off. Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., and Mr. /sleety James were coun sel for the plaintiff ; 11r. Field, Q.C., Mr. Morgan Howard, and Mr. Thomas Geary for the defendant. It appeared from the orders of the plaintiff that in the month of July, 186 b, he met with a senor socideat upon the Eastern Counties Railway, sad, being a member of • trim* club, he was attended by the dub surgeon, Dr. Roberts, of Great Dover-street, Southwuk, who rid that the defendant wee • practical man, who would undertake the claim sprit the company for damages. Accordingly, the plaintiff speed to let hint undertake the matter, which he did, and is January following the plaintiff received, through Roberts, the sum of 1001., with • deduction of 301. for expenses, leaving the sum 704 Upon this the plaintiff left, but subsequent) y found out that the defendant had received 200/. on be of the plaintiff, and 101. for his express. Upon that, application was made to Roberta by the plaintiff, to know what sum had been received no his behalf, to which Roberts replied that he could not tall how much had been received, without reference to his hank book ; but upon being taxed with the amount he admitted it. The plaintiff was called sod corroborated the above facts. The defence was that the defendant was engaged from beginning to sod by Dr. Roberta, who agreed to pay him 20 par cent. on any =rug that was received from the corn. piny, and if nothing was received, then there was to be no charge. Accordingly 2001. was obtained, besides 101. for part of the defendant's impure. The defendant deducted 201. for another portion of them, and Dr. Roberts mad* op the rest of the commission by allowing 10/. to be deducted from the amount of his bill, 80/., making altogether 401., via. 20 per cent. upon the amounthoovered, NO/. Two cheques were than paid over to Roberta, one for IW. for the plaintiff, and 70/. for Roberts' medical bill. The de fendant took receipts for them, and thought the, matter was properly and fairly carried out. The Lord Chief Justice, in summing up, commented upon the conduct of the witness Roberta, sad characterised his charges of 801.. reckoned at a guinea • visit as " nothing more or lees time an extortion." The question for the jury was whether the defendrat was to refund • sum of 1001., and he ram of opinion that as far as the defendant wan con cerned 101. was all that could be recovered against him, that being the excess that had ham charged for commission. He did not think that the rate of twenty per cent, charged by the defendant was snytbing outrageous or enormous, taking into consideration the risk the defendant inn.

This wits an action brought by the plaintiff, who was for is service as a footman. against the defendant, wbo was represented as being "the only surviving member of the Middlesex Loan Company," to recover the sum of 6004 upon the counts for money lent, for interest. and for money due upon anted. account stated. The defendant pleaded never indeb Mr. Donnas, Q.C., sod Mr. Bridge were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Digby Seymour, Q.C., and Mr. M. Lloyd far the defendant. It appeared from the opening by the learned counsel that the plaintiff had formerly been a footman is the eirrvioe of • gentleman who mede him a present of TOOL or 8001. He wished to Wrest a portion of it, and hearing that the defendant was a member of a compsay who professed to give 7 per cent fur the loan of money, he weal to him and agreed to lend him 6001., which the defendant said he would pay the above-named rate of interest upon. The money was lent and the interest was paid regularly down to Sept. laat, when it owed, sad epee the *until applying for the return of his mosey the defendant paid him 1101., as the plaintiff thought, upon account, and he considered that he was signing a receipt in these terms, but it afterwards turned out to be a receipt for a dividend of 4 per cent upon the amount, as being all he was entitled to. Upon dis covering that, the plaintiff went to hit attorney, and the present segos was brought ; r having turned out that the company formerly consisted of three persona, the defendant, Mr. Jadrsm, and Mr. Ulpli. The latter turned out a de faulter and shmoodee ; Jackson died, and the defendant belog the only ow g partner, the action was brought Naiad . . . . Aft - itr the plaintiff bad been examined. a correspoedence that bad take. place betweee the professioual man on both sides was put is. Mr. Digby Seymour, for the defame, said he should be able to prove that the plaintiff had knowingly signed • document which be now fond was exondingly Mauve nitwit, and he eadaavoured to escape from it by a augpetion of Uchida's, sod fraud. The defendant was • stationer of respectability, and had carried oa bosoms for 36 years, and he was the last man to risk his name and respectability by landing himself to so nefarious • trusser:toe as alleged. The detradont did sot seek out the plsiatiff, but the latter went to the former end asked him to take the mosey. The defame was this. A society was proposed and formed of wpewees who mutually put mosey into a common fund for iog at interest, to be managed by peruse chosen by themselves from themselves for the mutual bus& of all There were two *lame of depositors, one having a common stock upon which they received a comma' dividend at cer tain times, as was shown by the books with the plaintiff's signature attached ; and a wood clam, who lent mousy which was not to go into the comma& [mod, and the account of which was kept separate. The plaintWs same appeared in the book' is both characters, and in the second dam the separate 1001. was placed. The plaintiff stood in the mama petition to the society Si the d.feodant sad others, and they were all copartners and members in a joist affair, and the book given to the plaintiff, stating that he was a depositor of the society, showed that sharebolder sod de junior were cooyertible terms, and meant oft and the same thing. The society cusistei of tea members, sad .hen it got into difficulties the defendant explained matters to them se be did to the plaintiff, mid stated that probably 15e. in the pound on the whole would be paid to them if be was allowed time to get in the out mousy, hr.% the plaintiff, in stead of complying with the others in that course, had brought this whoa, in the hope of benefiting himself to the prejudice of the others connected with the °mown. When Ulph's &facetious were discovered, to the extent of 3001., the defendant paid the mosey out of his own P l trustiog to his brother members repaying him by a resetv fund which was established for that purpose and know. to the ptriatiff. All the defendant bad for his trouble of manag. Mg the concern was 3 per cent additional on the moors, which he put into the concern. He should produce the books, and there was not a suggestion by the plaintiff that they bad been tampered with. Mr. Chas. Hart was then examined, and afterwards was subjected to a severe cross-examtration. The learned judge summed up, and The jury almost immediately returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damage', 4641. 5.., including interest.
