The collection promises to be a fine one of more than eight hun dred allies, and it will be divided into raw mate rials, mineral substances, specimens illustrative of Use natural history of the colony, Kaffir medicines, water-colour drawings, and some curious photo graphs d Ellbs.KAffirs. " ' Victoria has sent a gilded trophy—representing in size the gold shipped from that Nation of Aus tralia to England since the foundation of the colony. It has also forwarded working models of quartz crushing machines, furniture made of native woods, satire wines,briintly, sauces, and preserved provi sions, sad some models of carriages. As there were nearly six hundred exhibitors at the local pre liminary exhibition, we may expect a good show from this part of Australia. The golds from the Mauritius have arrived at Southampton, and all the consignments from Aus tralia ought to be near at hand. Mr. Hewitt, of Feuehurch-street, has a superb Chinese collection, specially prepared fur the display ; and the Ceylon contribution, which is all shipped, promises to far exceed, in the number and value of the articles, anything ever sent by that possession to former exhibitions. The great road difficult —partly a nightmare—is not yet solved. The debates last week and this in the House of Commons promise to kill the pro ject of uniting Bayswater to Kensington. Any plan that threatens to injure Kensington-gardens is utterly and deservedly unpopular, and the warmest friend to international exhibitions must be glad to see it given up. The roads round the Ex hibition building are as much in need of reform as the feeding thoroughfares, and we are glad to learn that the Commissioners are determined to improve them. Unless the building is to be turned into a fortress surrounded by a moat or ditch, the sooner this reform is begun the better. THE EXHIBITION OF 1861 As day after day slips by, each one bringing us nearer to the first of May, the truth begins to ooze out that the Exhibition building is very much behind hand. Even the warmest friends and admirers of Messrs. Kelk and Lucas now admit this fact, and apologise for it by alluding to strikes and other unavoidable difficulties. The formal delivery of the building on the 12th of February was little more than an empty oeremouy ; and if the contract had been lees like a trading partnership between the asseenissioners and the contractors, there can be no doubt that a heavy fine would have been exacted. So much advertisement and credit boa been got out of this building over and above its market price, by most people concerned in its construction, that the bast the exhibitors and the public can do is to de mand that it shall be thoroughly finished by the day of opening. Not a shaving—not • stray ten penny nail should be tolerated in the way of the Exhibition. The capital and influence of the managers and contractors have been practically un limited, the weather has been unusually favourable, and the result ought to be a chronometer-punc tuality at every stage of the work. At present nothing like this very moderate excellence has been attained, although ample time and means have been at hand to attain it. Dates are either dimegarded, or else pushed forward two or three weeks further into the year, and the whole organization is thrown out of order becauee the contractors have over-estimated , their capabilities. Much work has been done, and I well dune, much is being done every day, but much inure remains to be done ; and nosensible exhibitor thinks of delivering his precious goods in the present condition of the building. Packages crawl slowly in, but not from home exhibitors, and the 12th of March, instead of the 12th February, will be quite early enough for a comfortable and seem* delivery. The ground may be surveyed as fast as it is boarded and marked out, and the oases planned and made, but at this point the most impetuous exhibitor will be wise to stop. Some of the figures laid down in red paint by the eager sappers and miners, in the same week that the Commissioners took possession, are nearly half rubbed out by brick-dust and the foot steps of hurrying workmen. Many of these figures in the galleries seem to have been planned so as to dam up the thoroughfare, notwithstanding the official announcement that half the floor-space is reserved for pusagee. The assistants of the French Cominismouers are mapping out their court with a due regard to the circulation of visitors, and with that eye to general effect for which they have a European reputation. We trust, however, that they will not attempt to carpet their apace, as they originally intended, for the open boards would cut through the thickest velvet pits in a week, to say nothing of the dirt and Brompton gravel-mud which the carpets would receive like door-mats. The movement of the staff to temporary quarters In the eastern transept Picture -gallery, as most people expected, is very like an official repetition of the Crimean disasters. Influenza, neuralgia, rheumatism, and a hundred kindred evils, deuce wildly on the east wind up the open stone stair cases, into the damp unfinished rooms, and round the devoted heads of the unhappy clerks and superintendents. Every second man has got a snuffle, • cough, or a thickness of pronunciation not calculated to help him in transacting business. The official deem, in many cases, is full winter travelling costume, and the whole thiug would be ridiculous if it were not so ill-timed and un necessary. The preening affairs of the colonial department--dealing with the greater pert of a kingdom on which the sun is never supposed to set—ere disposed of in a couple of uncarpeted garrets not larger than a bathroom without • fire, or even a gas jet. Bid generalship is shown everywhere in alien mean and ill-considered arrange ments, and if large schemes had not a vast power within themselves of self-management, the Exhibi tion would certainly suffer from such ir-regulation. The northern courts are half boarded over ; the fixed scaffoldings in the transepts are being rapidly knocked down ; the nave is half painted, with a good but rather gaudy effect ; and when this work completed the high travelling scaffold, with its two hundred tone of timber, will be taken to pieces and removed. The eastern and western domes are rapidly approaching completion, and probably about the 7th of March the labour of taking their scaf foldings down will commence. Under uo circum stances can they be possibly cleared away until the end of next month, and then the raised floorings and daises will have to be put down. If any delay should occur in removing the dome scaffoldings, it will be mimed by the painters, who under Mr. Crane's direction will have to decorate the inner roof of the domes. THE ALHAMBRA PALACE. It was generally imagined that Leotard, who is eurtainly the most graceful and accomplished, as he pro bably is the most daring and powerful of living athlete', had mashed • kind of ideal perfection in his performanoss oa the trapeze. It seemed almost impossible that his ex ploits, se tests of strength and skill, could be surpassed even by himself. Yesterday, however, be introduced mem novelties, which certainly added to the difficulty, if they did sot increase the beauty or enhance the public enjoyment of his renowned performance. The chief novelty carded in his seising two small openaheped loops fixed to the bar of the central trapeze, instead of the liar itself, in his flight ears the paler, and during his evolutions on the espies. These loops being only jest large enough to be peeped bythe hard. it Lint course a much higher test oe skill to seine these la pear ing than merely to catch the bar of the trapue. Another novelty was the throwing • back somersault from the c entral trapeze, in addition to the ordinary somersault'. The ease, dexterity, and finished self-command with which these new feat. are performed will amply repay another visit to the Alhambra on the part of those even who are perfectly familiar with Leotard's usual but most extra ordinary performances. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY LITERARY SOCIETY. The annual concert given by the mewbera to their friends took place on Tuesday evening last, in the moms of the society, at the Paddington station. The entire suite of room, most teetotally fitted for the ocesuion, were thrown open, and presented a very gay and animated ap pearance, nearly six hundred visitors being present. The artiste* were Mies Fitzwater, Mimi Emily Millar, Signor Muechialli, and Mr. Chapple ; Mr. Haydn Harrison con. ducting. Miss Catherine Thompson and Mr Artaud also most kindly volunteered their services. Several part wags and ems, isoludiog "0 Hills, 0 Vales," "O'er Shepherd's Yips," " I love my love in the morning: " The Wood Thrush," and " The Gipsies' Lashing Glee," were most effectively given, the test pains having evidently been taken in the rob of the musk. Mien Fitzwalter (soprano), • young lady of very great promise, who has just made her debar in the musical world, sang with esquisiki taste and feeling "Eily Mavourneen," from the new opera of the Lily of Killarney. Mira E. Millar's rich contralto notes, reminding us of Alboti's early days, were heard to great effect in "II Segreto," and Lady Dufferies song, " Katie's Letter." The young ladies ware very effective in the dusta, "Sinter Elves," and "1 know a Llauk." Mr. Chapels sang several ballads, and was moat deservedly encored in each, and Signor Muacbialli (who was suffering from a severe cold) rendered the music of the Sounaniteda with great feeling. Miss Catherine Thompson, • pupil of Sir Henry Smart s, played the andante and rondo capriccios° of Mendelsaohu most sweetly, and was listened to with the utmost attention. Mr. John Artaud, who possesses a SIM baritone voice, gave Morini's song, " The Basque Muleteer," with great power end effect, his Meter kindly volunteering her services for the accompani ment. Mr. Haydn Harrison, on whom devolved the care of the musical amusements, deserves great praise for the masterly manner in which he accompanied the vocalists, also for the two solos, viz., " The Last Rose of Summer," and airs from Traria*. The boo. secretary of the society, Mr. Rennie, was indefatigable in doing the honours of the evening to the muneroas goods who responded to the invi atioes of the member Lwross on JAPAN.—Yesterday the Bishop of Oxford presided at a lecture given by the Dr. Mervyn' on Japan, in Willies-rooms. The object of lecture was not simply to convey information respecting • wintry and people until recently unknown, bat also to assist a fund to enable the bewly-appuiuted chaplain to Japan to provide a library and scientific apparatus for the use of the young Japanme. The bishop expressed the gratification which the sudience bud derived from the lecture, and also his hearty approval of the object for which it was gives. The Bishop of Honolulu. in moving the thanks of the meeting to the right reverend chairman, spoke of the peculiar interest with winch he bed listened to a sp oke respecting a country lying not very remote from the scene of his own future labours, rod Lissome of the ability with which the subject had beat treated by the lecturer. WARENOUSENCNI? AND CLULIN' SCHOOLD.—A special general meeting of the subscribers to this institution was held last evening at the Young Men's Christian Asmoia tion Rooms, Alderagateatreet, couvened upon a requisition of the Board of Managerneot, for the purpose of considering a report from the building committee upon the metiers of the echool•building. Mr. Hewn presided. Mr. Imareece, the secretary, read the report of the building committee, which recommended that a building should be erected for 151 children, the estimated coot for which was 12,0001., exclusive of the purchase of the site. In support of this report, it was stated that the treasurer of the building Ned had already 7,0001. in hand, and 3,0001. was promised on the day the lint stone should be laid. This re port, it appeared, was strongly, opposed by a minority of the band of management, who contended that the number of children to be provided for was in excess of those likely to be admitted iota the school, that the 11111UMMO was much under the mirk, and that the she for the building was ill chosen. After the report was reed, a long and weans! discussion took place, and eventually an amendment was moved by Mr. Read, and seconded by Mr. Allen, that the building should be erected to acconunadate 120 children, at an esti mate of 10,0001. Another long discussion ensued upon the amendment, which was terminated by Mr. Samuel Morley proposing, as a compromise, that the expense fur the area ' tion of the building should be limited to 12,000 t, and to accommodate as many children as it could be made came- Meat to hold. Ile offered this proposition es one of eon ' ciliatimi and to prevent the necessity of a division. After some f urther conversation ' the report of the committee and Mr . Read's arneedineatwere withdrawn, and Mr. Mor ley's proposal carried by &inhalation. OXFORD LOCAL EXAMINATIoNS. The Daily News appends the followiug remarks to the letter of a correspondent upon the above subject : " The red ground of complaint; as it appears to us, is not that the University authorities distinguish between those who offer the Holy Scriptures with the Pryer Book and those who offer ooly the Holy Scripture• se subjects on which they are ready to be examined, but that they have gone out of their way to ranee a re cognition of the scriptural knowledge of the latter in their certificate. Perhaps the University of Oxford could hardly be expected to give • dissenter • certificate that lie had " satisfied the 0111Shlin in the rudiments of faith and religion," but then that form of 11.1113 does not seem indispensable—nor, indeed, does it bent ...respond to the facto. For what the University aserrisina by fits examination is neither the faith net the religion of the candidate, but merely his knowledge, and the testamar might with the greatest propriety be confined to the attestation of its sufficiency. It would then in its twofold form bear witness that one class al boys had satisfied the examiners in know ledge of the sacred Scriptures, and another in know ledge of the Scriptures and the doctrines of the church of Ragland. This, we believe, would satisfy all pasties ; at all events it would save the University from the invidiousness al dsaying fsithaad religion tosill who did nottake up thetniyar Book. Ws have seen it suggested th►t inconvenient:is NV*, arise if a sertificate of faith and religion were given to ping dissenters, some of whom, it may be supposed, will in after life exercise the Christian ministry among their co-religionists. But it may be urged, on the other hand, that at presenithere is nothing to prevent such a person from obtaining the tee tamur if he will only bring himself to regard the Prayer Book as a subject to be got up like say other, as we have ma- NO to know several have done. All danger of Moon venienee from this source would be averted if the Univer sity would adopt the course we have indicated, or eny other dictated by equity. In the meantime, although dissenters do not pt equal measure in these examinations, yet, as we think we showed last week, their consciences are not violated, and we would strongly advise them, for the sake of their children and of the religious bodies of which it is to be hoped they will become the strength and ornament, to pause and reflect before they cut themselves off from an institution for which, as a means and stimulus of education, they have as yet no substitute." GLOUCESTER ELECTION. At four o'clock the poll closed as follows : How. C. P. J.

It is with sinoere reVet that we have to announce the approaching resignation of Mr. Butler-Johnstone as the representative of Canterburry in parliament, and our regret at losing so good • member is heightened by the cause which makes the step necessary on his part. The state of Mn. Butler-Johustone's health is so unestidadory, that she has been ordered abroad by her medical adviser* for as ualiatited period, and our respected repreiestative, naturally anxious to accompany her, with a pomp- Wads which does biro every honour, came to the conclusion that he had no right to leave his post, at the commencement of what may prove an important asesioa, and carry abroad with him the representation of Csaterbary in his pocket; consequently, the heads of the eseservative party were, by his desire, called together on Tuesday evening last, sad Mr. Butier-Johnatone paid a flying eWI to Oiaterbury for the purpose of meeting them, and his resignation in their hands. Ws are sot at liberty to state all that took place at the meeting, as it was of a *Tate character ; but we may an nouncethat Mr. Butler-Johnstone% rerignatiou was with great reluctance accepted,and that the most heartfelt sympathy we, e expremed towards the trying circumstances which ren der ed 1 that reelgaatioa imperatively limitary. We may announce bother that his see. Yr. Henry Butbsr-Johnstone, was mece e as the most sitting person in ever) way to supply a place. Mr. Butler-Johostone left this city early y morning, and immediately on his arrival in town irda applied to the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds. The new writ will is all probability be issued in the course of • few days, and the sleotion will take place in about three weeks from the present lima Mr. Henry Butler-Johnatone is expected to arrive is this city in the ammo of to-day (Thursday).— Kentish liasertvr. THE CHURCH INVITTUTION. --IMPORTANT MEET INC ON CHIUPOR RATS.—Yesterday evening a meeting of the general council of the Church Institution, composed of lay representatives from various parts of the country, took place in the hall of King's College, for the purples of con sidering the subject of church rates sow before parliament. Mr. Ford presided ; and there were present the Earl of Dart mouth, Sir Matth ew White Ridley, Bart., M.P., Mr. Salt, M.P., Mr. J. Blanks an Stanhope, M. P. Mr. Beach, td.P., the Hon. H. Walpole, the Hoe. W. W;Aildington, Sir Walter James, Bart, Biro. Anderson, Bart., Mr. E. A. Fitzroy. Mr. Meymott, Mr. Clahos, and other gentlemen. Mr. .10001, barrister, proposed a resolution setting forth certain bases on which a church-rate bill should be founded, and assimilating it in many respects to the poor law. Mr. Clabon moved, as an amendment, "That it is unjust and inexpedient to abolish the ancient and customary right exer cised by the ratepayers of every pariah in England to raise a rate amongst themselves for the repair of the church and the performance of Divine worship until provision shall have been made by parliament for those objects, and that it ie not expedient at the present stage of the question that this institution should propare or support any measure on the subject of church rata" This amendment wan carried SNIT a prolonged discussion. Aill-CHURCH RATE MEETING AT GREENWICII.—. lag eight a Wilk meeting of the inhabitants of Green wich was held as the Literary Institution in that town to adopt measures to procure a total and immediate abolition of church rates. The chair was occupied Mr. Tanner, and letters were read from the members of the borough, Alderman Salomon* and Mr. Angeratein, approving of the objects of the meeting. Mr. Watptaff, in moving the first resolution, condemnatory of church rates, referred at length to the conduct of the vicar at a recent vestry meeting held in that parish to make a church rate. He not only refused to put an amendment to refer back the estimates to the churchwardens for revision, but insulted the ratepayers by putting on his bat and leaving the room before the pro- Seeding* bad terminated. The rate then declared to be made we. to all intents illegal, and it had resulted in the formation du anti•chureh rate association, the members of which had determined to resist payment The Rev. W. Davis wooded the motion, which was adopted. The Rev. H. Smith, who attended as • deputation from the Religions Liberation Society, addressed the meeting at some length, and contended that no compromise on the subject could ever prove satisfactory, and the total repeal of the impost would elope satisfy the great body of the people. THE LATE Rim. It. FLETCHER •ND THE BISHOP or Munorurs. —ln his funeral oration on the above deceased minister the Rev. A. Ocienabee related the follow ing :—" Profound and universal was the respect with which our departed friend was regarded, io illustration of which 1 mention that, on the day after his departure, I stood with several members of hie family gazing on his features, beautiful even in data, when the Rev.

He is not here, he is risen.' He spoke loving words of peace and consolation to the sad and sonowing group, and then, all kneeling round the couch of mortality, in topes of sweet and holy affection, he commended the widow and the fatherless to the care and blesainget heaven. He adored the riches of that grace by which the pastor. the husband, and the father, had been enabled, through a long sod non. sistent life, to adorn the ductriue of God his Saviour in all things, en sod to be instrumental in bringing many sons to This is singularly honourable to Bishop Perry, and not• less so to the character of Mr. Fletcher, who, notwith standing his opposition to state Midowments for religious purposes, must have won the bishop's respect for his manly and conscientious antagonism , well as his esteem for hk talents, Mety, and usefulness.—Noncanfie-mier. Tim Has. FATHER DALY.—The Rev. Father Daly, whose ease caused some noise in the town (says the Galway Vindicator), may be expected any moment. We have had the particulars of his visit to Rome, and the consideration given to it by the Cardinal Prefe ct, from a esthetic digni tary in Rome, who was fully cookout of the entire circum stanced Af ter fully bearing Father Lady's statement, the Cardinal decided that, even on his own showing, he de served suspension. Every act of the bishop's was approved of, and hie lordship was specially thanked for the firmness with which he upheld the dignity of the episcopate and the discipline of the church. We are delighted also to learn that, when Father Daly saw that the Ceuta of Unity— the supreme authority of the Catholic Church—condemned hie proceedings, he at once expressed his determination to submit to the authority of his superior, and wrote a letter, addressed to his good and kind bishop, expressing this de termination. PEOSECUTION UNDER Tan LUNACY Acre.—On Tuesday, before the Withaaa magistrates, informations were preferred on behalf of the Cominiasteurs io Lunacy against Mr. T. M. Tonskia, proprietor of a private lunatic asylum at Witham, charging him with unlawfully receiving to board and lodge in his dwelling-house (the same not being an hospital, or asylum, or duly licensed house) one Daniel Frances flagniae, the, being a luuatic, and also for unlawfully taking charge of the said person being a lunatic without that r. alsor tn erder or medical certificate.

Major O'Reilly, wbo has come forward to contest the represeutation of the county of Lan ferd with Colonel White, recently appointed to the post of Irish Lord of the Tommy, ham issued the following characteristic addreee to the constituency :—"Men of Long foid—A government hostile to your religion—to ita venerable head, and to its dearest interests at hau— lms dared to ask you to sauction their esti-catholic policy, of which the Chief Secretary for Ireland is the exponent. Hoping to take you unawares, they have directed your late member to present himself to you for re-election, in the quality of their official. As might be expected, you have refused to iudorse their act with your approval; you have invited me to vindicate the inde pendence and dignity of your county, and I hasten to obey She homemade calL Should I be elected, my conduct , shall prove your noble confidence has not been misplaced. I shall oppose in parliament, as I have done elsewhere, the system of sacrilegious invasion and robbery pursued by Piedmont, which has received the support of English ministars.i My opinions on education are wall knowu.

Ou other questions, as on these, which the reckless challenge of the Chief Secretary to the catholic clergy and people of Ireland bar made of para mount iinpurtauce, I believe my opinions will be found to coincide with your*. I shall advocate the freeing the catholic* of Ireland from the monster grievance of an alien church establishment ; such a change of the laws regarding land as, by promoting permanency of tenure, will encourage the judicious outlay of the tenant's capital and industry, and muse him an adequate return, a large attimision of the suffrage, and the protection of the voter in its exercise by the ballot ; a reform of the poor law lnc spirit congenial with the dictates of Christine charity, and the habits and sweets of our countrymen ; a reform et the grand jury laws, which would make those share the payment who impose the tax.

Are the landed proprietary of Long ford prepared to strengthen the bands of that prelate I Do they think it would be wise ! Are they enamoured of an excessive poor rate? Does it vex them that the • Catho lic university ' has got no charter! Are they anxious to see more money lavished upon the College of Maynooth ? Do they imagine that it will redound to their honour to be marched to ttui pull under the banner of the crossed-keys borne by the Longford priests'- Will it be to their hooour or their disgrace, if,in short,they place upon the benches of the house, u their spokesman and representative, • person re. markable only for his fanaticism in rieking his life to prop rap tyranny sad to tutoro over au emancipated people a form of rule which they abominate!

BASING, M.P., in the chair. The EINCRITANY read the 21st annual report, which state that" the income for the year 1861 hadbeen as follows :—Do. n u a p t2 . 2ll. 5e.; annual subscriptions, 5281. ; ditto of ss. and from usurers be' clerks, 732/. ; net proceeds of the dhow in May last, 2,5731.175. 11d. i interest, dividends, he., 8801. 171.8 d. ; total, 4,765/. oe. 71 The very hand some sum realised by the dinner, which was held on the 30th May last, nader the presidency of the Lord Mayor, would be remarked with satisfaction by the members. It, would be remembered that, with a view to assist and strengthen the efforts of the board on behalf of this veinal. fund, a personal appeal was addressed to every member, earnestly soliciting his co-operation. The result of this appeal had been in the highest degree gratifing, not only from the pecuniary results, but from the kin dly feeling exhibited among the members at large, and the mmourage meat thus afforded to the board in their & own exertions. Several oases of immediate sod pressing necessity hod COMO before the board daring the past year, and the sum of 2451. 2s. had been expended in gratuities towards sodding the applicants in their need. Pursuant to the resolution of the annual general meeting on the 6th of February,lB6l, en election of annuitants took place on the 28th of May last, when one clerk was elected to an annuity of 301., one widow to an annuity of 23/_ two widows to annuities of 151. each, making a total of eoi. per =num. Three annuities of 151. each had fallen is during the past year ; one by death, one by the ire-marriage of the annuitant, and one from the vol.:eatery reliequishment of the annuity by the widow re ceiving it, is oxeseepieres of as hoprevemeet ie her circum dawn. There were now upon the fund 11 clerks and 48 widows, who were receiving collectively 1,0701. per annum. The board now recommended that eight additional annuities be panted, viz.: two .clerks and six widows of clerks. The board treated that tie striking evidence which the accounts of the past year exhibited of the results that could be achieved when their exertions were cordially supported by the members, would, for the future, secure a continuance of that support. The balance-sheet for the year ending 31st of December, 1881, showed that the receipts amounted to 4,7701. Is. Id., and the expenditure to 1,122/. 17s. 24., leaving a balance of 3,1701. 3s. 11d." The DRAMAS, in moving the adoption of the report, mid his duty was one of a very agrseamte and easy chanicter, inasmuch as be bad only to cOocratelate the members of the society on the peat emcees which had attended their opera tions. After an existence of twenty years and upwards, the institution had now arrived at a state of maturity, which he hoped firmly established its future prosperity. The neceasity for such an emendation was abundantly proved by the peat advantages which accrued from it. He need hardly tell them that it had the effect of encouraging amongst its members that spirit of frugality and providence which was the best guarantee for mdepanderice ia after life. One great principle in the working of this institution was, that it granted loans to mambas who, from misfortune, and not from improvidence, were reduced to temporary want, and it was gratifying to learn that the large sum which had been so expended had been applied in such a manner that the losses incurred had been very Lithos indeed. As he had been amongst the earliest promoters of the institution, be was extremely happy to see it established on so secure and permanent a bads. The chairman being now compelled to leave the room in consequent, of an unavoidable engagement, his plane was filled by Mr. B. 31. JONES, the chairman of the association, ztogether t the resolution to the meeting, and the report, with the balanceabeet, was adopted. A resolution was then agreed tot on the motion of Mr. Wtteff, empowering the direetors to grant eight additional annuities, vin., to two clerks and to six widows of clerks, which would increase the total number of aenuitants to 67. A vote of thanks was then passed to the trustees, Mr. T. Baring, M.P., Mr. Thomson Hankey, M.P., Mr. W. O. Prescott, and Baron de Rothschild, M.P. ; and to Mr. John Abel Smith, the treasure,. Thanks were. next voted to the press, and to the present chairman, and the business terminated.
