Nobody sup poses that we import tallow and turpentine and madder sad sheep.' wool, as objects of vertri or as specimens of the fins arts. Not at all. We want them for a very different purpose. We intend them for re-sale in another shape. We are in the habit of consigning these articles to Lancashire and Yorkshire to a race of men who turn them to the vulgar but useful purposes of spinning, weaving, dye ing, and driving machinery. We a the fore, this iderence—that free tra n de ve, has, er in the first place, not destroyed the commerce of the country ; and, in the second place, that since free trade was introduced, wo have found it profitable to work goods u th p ou mote raw u un ntwists and maufacture more we did der the previous regimen. But this is not the whole matter. We have fortunately, in these returns, the means of tracing the extent to which most of the articles of foreign manufacture have been introduced into this country in 1818 and 1949. We confess we have read the figures with some surprise. We had looked for at least some faint justification for those preposterous hallucina ions that ptevail in the minds of many people who ought to know better. We have on'y to lay the list and the figures before all who choose to read them, in the following form : insemet—muse mum to May 3. MY. NM. ckelt ............. .........

By what contrivance of per centogee, for example, shall we represent the jeopardy of the leather trade, in consequence of 7,480 pairs of French boots and shoes being positive.) , imported in the coarse of four mouths? Why, that is at the rate of nearly 500 pairs a week—or approaching in mag nitude the sale of a retail shop in Whitechsprl inithe cout e of half that peried. Bat there is a curious feature in these figures not to be passed over. The importation of boot fronts wo see has rapidly increased. Now, what is the value of that fact? These boot front. are composed of a *peel..s of leather peculiar to France. We now admit this leather in its partially mat uf,.cured state, and what is the consequence? Simply that our own artisats are taking the boot trade out of the hands of their neighbours by importing the prepared material, and supplying the lshour, the skill, and the elegance themselves. But eien here the marvel does not cad Wo are Informed by the second section of the return that even out of the beggarly quantities of foreign manu factures that do arrive, a camiderable, and in some cases the larger portion, are re-exported.

Nearly 300 persons sat down to dinner. Amongst the amid loyal toasts, the Chairman proposed "Ths Health of Prince Albert," as a winter of the legal profession, and stet et that his royal highness had proved himself worthy of occupy i ng any intellectual million to which he may be called. The toast was received with great enthusiasm. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the toset of the venieg, congratul *tad th e meeting upon the proves. the soc.eiy had made during the past year ; and concluded by drinking " Prosperity to the United Low Clerks' S:clety." The SECRETARY then read the report, which stated that " In the past year twenty-four members have rewired assistance from the funds, amounting altogether to 2391, Be 63.

Mr. BETHELL then proposed the " Health of the Lord Chief Baron " in a ve eulogistic speech, eharaoterisinF the learned chairman ill a distinguished scholar and polished gentles an. The toast was :m ired with great enthusiasm, and the Chief Baron returned thanks in a brief speech. Mr. HUMFREY proposed " The Lord Chancellor, Lori Lyndhurst, and the other pa The of the rodety." 31r. GOODEVE having returned thanks, The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of " Mr. Charles Dickens." In responding to this toast they would be doing homage to genius. Mr. Dickens was one of the profession. He WY • member of the Middle Temple. He halt regretted the day they made him (the Chief Baron) a judge, and drove him from that society, because he left Mr. Dickens behind (Cheers and laughter. ) The toast was received with loud applause and demonstra tions of good will. Mr. C. DICKENS, in returning thanks, said he was deeply tensible of the warmth and earnestness of the wel come he had received this evening, and of the distinguished compliment which had been paid to him by the Lord Chief Baron. He bed been requested to propose a tout upon this occasion, and he did not know for what reason, noisel it were that he was a law student without ever having studied the law, or that he once had the honour of being connected with a cue, which was an action for breach of promise of saurlage—(loud laughter)—and whisk was only reported in one book—a case in which he confessed that the pleading, the evidence, the summing up, and the verdict, were all equally wrong. (Great laughter.) He was extremely g'ad to be present here, because it afforded him an opportunity of entering into personal ex planations. 8 :me time ago a gentleman had written to him stating that he thought he (Mr. Dickens) had been " rather hard" upon the pr-ifession, and it would be an agreeable sacrifice to uffebded justice if ho would come here and confess that be did not mean what he said. (Laughter ) Re was now ready to plead to that aceination. Mr. Dickens then made some amusing observations upon the subject of pleading, and facetiously alluded to the character of Dick Stairetkr pos as connected with the law. He concluded by proing , " the BAt and the profesaion," and stated tint there was no one more sincere in wishing success to the present society than he was. The greeest possible e nthusiasm was exhibited by the company throughout Mr. Dickens's spoech, and at its con elusion. Mr. BALLANTINB returned thanks. Other toss's were successively proposed, and the total amount of subscriptions announced was 4201. The band of the Coldstream Guards was in attendance, and the musical arrangements were under tie direction and Mr. Hobbs, Mr. Phillip% the Misses Williams, and others. The meeting passed off with great klaf, and the company broke up at 11 o'clock. FLOATING OF THE TUBULAR BRIDGE OVER THE Ti STRAITS. MENAI STRAITS, TUESDAY Events©. This great engineering achievement eras accom plished to day with the meet extraordinary edit. Unfortu nately the morning opened unpropitiously with a high soseh-weet wind and heavy driving showers, but as the sun moved toward, the meridian the wind dropped, the rain discontinued, and the weather, as well as everything else, worked well for the experiment. The scene as early as six o'clock presented a very busy appearance, multitudes of men depositing the buoys, and shipping the enormous cables from the London and Manchester platforms of the works. The literals, consisting of different a loured flags, under the direction of Mr. Stephenson, were placed on the different cap tans for the guidance of the process employed in nevi gating the great tube on the Anglers& shore, and at other points. Early in the morning the tube was lowered three feet cyanits pin, so as to enable it to start earlier and take advantage of the tide at high water. The towers for supporting the tube: are of a like magnitude with the entire work. The great Bri tannia tower in the centre of the straits is 62 feet by 62 feet at its base upon the rock ; its total height from the bottom 230 feet ; it contains 148,625 cubits feet of limestone and 141 625 of sandstone. It weighs 20,000 tons, and there are 387 tons of cast iron built into it in the shape of berms and girders. Its province is to sustain the four ends of the four long iron tubes which will span the straits from shore to shore. The total quantity of stone contained in the bridge is 1,600,000 ruble feet. The side towers stand at a clear dis tance of 460 feet from the great central tower, and again, the abutments stand at a distance from the side towers of 230 fast, giving the entire bridge a total length of 1849 feet, the mthis present year of grace. The side or land towers ask 62 feet by 62 fr et at the base, and 190 feet high. They curtain 210 tons of cast iron. At 1 o'clock the spectators, by tens of thousands, had taken their plus upon the piers; the tubes and shores on tither sirle, and the straits for a mile in length, prey , nted a vast amphitheatre of humrn beings. The pilots, to the extent of 200 or 300, took their stand on the pontoons, to ply the gi. patio tackle. AS many more rood ready for action on the capstans. The cables, six inches in thickness, and of leegue ling lengths, were attached to tho steamers that were to have t• e towing of the tremendous freight. Multitudes of yachts, small boats, and ether craft, filled and gaily decorated, paused up and down the stream, and all eyes were fixed with mingled feelings of cnntidencr and fear on the gigantic (Arlo, upon which stood Mr. Stephens.= and Captain Claxton. The utmost excitement ensued on the first signal, the sud• den springing up on the Analmea side of a flag, and a shrill strain from the trumpet of Capt. Claxton frees the ton of the tube, a hint to the pilots to take the tide, and pipe ell bands for the exploit. This was responded to by a loud burst of enthusiasm frets the seamen, whose efforts, united to those of the steam tors, told upon the screws and tackler, and upon the hitherto motionless monver,wbich then glided eery steely end amid iitervals of increasing cheers and salters tions, without irjury or jar, and with a majesty that could only be compared to that of a mountain moving on the wmers to the site of its final resting place. IRELAND. Drams, Joss 19. A grand review took place in the Phoenix Perk, yes'e , day, io honour of the neniverrary of Waterloo. The Lord-Lieutenant was present, and a nut con course of spectators collected to see the trove manceuvred. The number of carriages with fashion able ladies exceederl what has appeared for several years ; and in the afternoon the streets of Dublin pre sented a truly brilliant appearance. Of late we have had some rather harsh weather, the wiad being north-east; but there has been a great improvement. At the end of last week sonic blight was observable in some directions, but it was of no great extent. Since then the weather has be come much more genial. The general report of the harvest and the state of the crops continues to be most favourable. NAVAL.

ROYAL MILITARY ACADEMY, WOOLWlCll.—Ycaterday an czamination of the gentle nen cadets, forming the practi cal class, took place in the Royal Arsenal. The ezatninaion having cmclude d, the Muter General, toe Marquis of Ang ma, said he was present to.day with far different feelings than those he had hitherto felt, for from the moment that be was placed in the high situation he at present held. he had heard n aims but the most distressing reports of misconduct and insubordination of all so of the o ftyranny of the seniors, and Sb. Idleness of te juniors; of thej u n iors; most the vulgar de bauchery, and he knew not what beside. It male him miseraule, and he felt like Falstaff, who said he could'at h h marc through Coventry at the head of his company, b ut now, after having received the most satisfactory replete, he was ready to march at their 'mad at any time, and at every time. Alter paying ri very high tribute to the Lieutenant Governor oattrf the academythisand the (Ann under him, to whom he ibuted happy change, the noble marquis concluded by saying that he feat justified in adding anork r week to the duration of their vacation. The Master General then proceeded to pre cat the prizes to the successful students, accompanyi. g each presentation with a few suitable words. The priers were as follows: To Mr. Carpenter, the regimen'al sword ; Mr. Oregon:, for practical artillery, surveying. and chemistry ; Mr. Haw. thorn, Ist class mathematics, and Ist elms fortification; Mr. Vahan, 2nd clam mathematics., and 2nd class fortificitinn ; Mr. Drake, French ; Mr. Graham, German ; Mr. Whinyases, history and gee/rushy ; Mr. Wiwi, military plan, drawing, and sketching; Mr. Strange, sth room, landscape drawing ; Mr James, arsniptive geometry. The Master General also pursed &special commendation on the good conduct of Mr. Murray, one of the students.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—TESTEIIDAL BLYOSZ 1411. COlillaßiltONTA FANG RE HUGUESDON AND MACKAY. This was the certificate meeting in the (*A of these bank rurs, who were merchants of Chundernagore and Calcutta. Mr.Roxbures. for the awsignees, raid he did not oppose, but asked that some arrangement should be made whereby the Evidence of the bankrupts might he secure/ in certain suits that wire pending, it being expected that they would go out to India as loon ea they obtained their certificates. Mr. Lawrence, for the bankrupts, said that the twenty one days which wooed necessarily elapse before the certificate was signed, was a sufficient interval in which to take their evidence ; and whatever the bankrupts uniertook to do they would adhere to it. The Commisioner did not think himself at liberty, in the exercise of a somewhat penal jurisdiction, to take into con sideration these collateral matters. Stil , it could not be denied it was the duty of the bankrupts to afford their assig nees ever; information. T. Hughesdon, one of the bankrupts, being examined on this point, said it was his intention to leave the country for Calcutta within a month if he succeeded in obtaining his certificate. Was willing to undertake to give a fortnight's notice before going, to solicitor for the assignee.. Mr. Roxburgh said, with that understanding, he should withdraw all opposition to the certificates of both bankrupts, it being understood that Mackay should give the taws un dertaking. This being done, His Honour said, though the assignees had waived their opposition, it was Impossible for him to say the bankrupts had acted strictly in accordance with the law. Knowing their position, they had no right, just before bankrup`cy, to hand away their property, r ght and left, to the agents of their Loudon creditors. Though he felt great disinclination to interpose between the creditors and the bankrupts, he felt bound to regard the case es affecting the public. Mr. Murray, for Messrs. Henderson, denied that they had taken any improper or illegal step in cbtaining securities from the bankrupts. The Commisioner said they were certainly not to blame, for they had only exercised the rights which the law cave them. With their conduct he had nothing to do; he bad only toconsider the conduct of the bankrupts. On the Bth of December they had allowed Mr. Hugh, the agent of Messrs. Henderson, to get potacession of a large quantity of sugar, and in seven days after they bad become bankrupts. Still, all things considered, he should not feel justified, with out entering onto a very protracted examination of the effect of the vari nos legal proceedings, in directing any suspension of the certificates. Tile certificates were accordingly granted. Mr. Lawrence applied for the expenses of the bankrupt,' in coming over from India, but his honour declined to make any order at present. THE POLICE COURTS. GUILDHALL. TAE CHARON OF UNLAWFULLY DETAINING A BILL 07 EICNANOIL—Mrs. Mary Parker again appeared to answer the charge of unlawfully obtaining a bill of exchange amounting to 291. The facts of the case appeared in our impression of Monday last, Bir G. Carroll asked if there was any one present to pro w d with the case ? Mr. G. Chasemare said that the Union Bank did not in tend to prosecute further. Sir G. Carroll said, from what ho had heard, he had no doubt that the charge arose from a =Make on the part d Mrs. Parker, and theretore she was discharged. Mrs. Perier then left the court accompanied by her friends. THAMES. CILAHOE or INCENDILBISK.—Mr. J. W. Clarke, &Mama baker, and IV. Clarke, his son, • young man, 21 years of age, were brought up on remand, charged with wilfully setting fi re to a bake-house and carpenter's shop in Orange court, Great Hermitage-street, Wapping. The facts are briefly these: The defendant rented the bakehouse in question from Messrs. Gordon and Godfrey, ship-joiners, who retained the finer overhead es a WO' oho,. Wishing to insure in the Sun Fire Insurance Office, their application was refused in consequence of the bakehouse l laming part of the premises. 'they, therefore, gave the I elder prisoner notice to quit, which, it appeared, he did ass I take in good pat, the place being convenient for his business, end he resisted the notice in every pas sible way ; and according to the evidence of Messrs. I Gorden sod Gedfrey, it would teem that two abor tive aVetnets to fire the premises had been previously made. The younger prisoner was also heard to Pay on twa occasions that his father was no fool, end that if Gordon put the old man to inconvenince,by compelling him to remove, he would let served out for it another time. About ten o'clock on last Saturday right a person called at Mr. o;rden's house, 14, Hermitage-street, immediately abutting on the workehop, and told him the premises were on fire. He immediately broke into the bakehouse, where, notwithstanding that an attempt had been made to conceal the glare, he found the fire had originated there, as a quantity of shavings, with some dry biscuits and bags, had been ignited in the head of the oven, which wag not more than three feet from the naked joists and flawing of the work shop. He then broke into the workshop, when he found the whole of the flooring immediately above the even blazing away furiously. There was a stove in the workshep,but not in the place where the fire was raging, and his wife, who vi ited the premises at 7 o'clock on Saturday evening, not only saw that there was no fire in the stove, but observed that the place was peculiarly cool. Mr. Gordon was obliged to make a hasty retreat from the workshop, and hastening to his own residence, which was in dangerous contiguity to the flames, succeeded in getting his wife and 'even children out of the house; but in the meantime the mob had obtained an entrance, and had demolished all his property. Subset quently, whilst the fire was still raging, he saw the elder prisoner formn a trough, which with other property he had r. weed the bakehouse and, as be thought, lough log at his truth. lie was much excited at this, and could not help saying, " You :Main, you have set fire to my place." Clerks rushed at him, but he (Gordon) anticipated the blow, and struck him in the mouth. A girl named Wall, and a lad named Murphy, deposed to having seen the two prisoners coming from the direction of the bake house at a little after fo o'clock on the night of the tire, and Mr. Aden Genge heard the ell. r Clarke say, while the fin was raging, that he knew who set ttie place on fire, and could prove it. The expression was also heard by Mr. God frey, one of the owners. Mr. Yardley said the charge against the prisoners just then was not suffictently strong to require them to snake their defence, but it was such as rendered it n cessary for him to call upon them to put in bail for th.ir appearance on Ttlls. dee next, them.elves in 801. each, gad two sureties of 401. each respectively.

STEERR.—AcrioN AGAINST TILE SHIRIPP TOR NEGLIGENCE. - - - Mr. Serjeant She., with whom was another learned gen tleman, were counsel for the plaintiffs; and Mr. Watson, Q C , and Mr. P. tertelorff, appeared for the defendant. This was an action brought against the High Sheriff of Surrey, to recover the amount of a debt due to the plaintiffs by one Chu. Wyatt, and which, as they alleged, they should have recovered, had the officers of the sheriff used due and proper diligence in endeavouring to execute a writ of ca. IR. which had been placed in their hands to execute against Wyatt. It appeared that Wyatt,. who bad formerly been • builder, carrying on business in the Leipsic road, Camberwell, had become indebted to the plaintiffs for goods ea plied to the amount of 661, for which they had brought an action, recovered judgment, and Mined at first a writ of 8. Co., which was plated in the hands of two officers of the name of Cox and Rutland for execution. Upon Cox going to the Leipsic-road, he die covered that Charles Wyatt had removed from there and gone to live at Battersea. Another writ, being one of ca. sa, was then issued against him, it having been ascertained that he had an goods. This writ had been executed by the officers Rutland and Cox, and several witnesses were call= on behalf of the plaintiffs, who defected to the effect that Wyatt was about Battersea during the whole of the time that the writ was out against hiss, when be might have been arrest= if due diligence had been used by the officers. Mr. Watson, in addressing the jury for the defendant., said that the question to be decided was whether the sheriff's officers hail had any oppottunity when they could, might, and ought to have arrested Charles Wyatt. If such an opportunity had occurred, no doubt they wou:d have availed themselves of it, inasmuch that it a sheriff'. officer pursued a men for months, and did not succeed in capturing him, he got nothing for all the trouble he had, whereas, if he arrested him, he was paid • guinea. Charles Wyatt, against whom the writ was directed, was a person whom it was impossible to arrest, for he slept in Middlesex during the time that the writ was oat against him, and be hardly ever came over to Denver', except on • Sued ey, when he knew the writ could rot operate against hire. Even when La was in Battersea he went into a b. er-shop which wes closed, and which belonged to his bruthir John, where he was kept safely locked up from the officers. With reap= to the damage which the plaintiffs cad sustained by reason of Charles Wyatt not having been arrested, he (Mr. Watson) submitted that it wee none at all, because he should be able to prove by the moat respectable evidence that Wyatt was a man without a penny in the world, anu from whom nothing could be got by putting him into prison. He should also be able to prove that due and proper diligence had Seen used by the officers in eadeayour ing to execute the writ, but although they had been several times to Battersea, they had never been able to lay hold of Wyatt, or to obtain any information respecting him. Under these circumstances the learned counsel submitted that his client nu entitled to a verdict. In support of the defendant's case, the officers Cox and Rut land, and their man Reeves, were called, and from their evi dence it appeared that they used every exertion to endeavour to execute the writ, bat without success. John Wyatt, the brother of Charles Wyatt, and two tradesmen, creditors of Charles Wyatt's, we re also called, and they stated that that individual did not reside in Eatterva at the time the writ of tx sa. was issued against him, that he had kept out of the way, and that he was in a state of the greatest poverty. Mr. Serjeant She* having r. plied, Lord Denman summed up, and left it to the jury to say whether due and proper diligence had been used by the sheriff's officer in endeavouring to execute the writ. II the were of opinion that proper diligence had not been used, then they would say what amount as compensation the plain tiffs were entitled to. The jury, aster • short consultation, returned a verdict for the plaintiffs—damages 561., the amount of the debt due to them from Charles Wyatt. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-YESTERDAY. ermites im Woo. Yesterday was the first day of the sittings s in banco after Trinity term. A list of ca.os selected from the spacial paper was proceeded with and dOiposed cf. The following alone deserves notice : DALIN, EXECUTRIX, V. BROWNE AND ANOTESE.—LOUD CAMPBELL'S ACT. In this we, which arose upon demurrer, the action was brought by Mrs. Dakin, the widow of tke late proprietor of • tea warehouse situate in St. Paul's-churchyard, to re cover compensation in damages, under Lord Denman's act, for the 100 of her husband, wh, was killed by Vie bursting of a steam mach:no for cleansing coffee, which machine the declaration alleged to have been unskilfully and negligently manufactured and set up by the defendants. Amongst other pleas the defendants pleaded that the acci dent of the bursting arose , not by their negligence or want of skill, as alleged, but limn Mr. Dakin having, contrary to their recommendation, used the machine h-fore the brick work was dry in which it was erected. This plea was de murred to on the ground it was not a plea in coat sst.n and avoidaxce, and amounted to the general inane. Mr. Need- ham argued for the plaintiff ; Mr. Serjeant Dowling on be- half of defendants. The court, in giving judgment, deter mined that the plea was bad, and orders tit to be Pruck out. Mr. Serjeant Dowling then observed he was informed the object of putting the plea upon the record was simply to pain time and to ears the expense of issuing a commission to exa mine an important witness now at NV , ashington, in America, In other respects, the defendants were perfectly prepared to go to trial upon the remaining issuer.

This was a l'uit promoted by Mr. Edward Parrett, of Lewes, in Sumeir, eg dust hid wife, fora divorce, is cent.- qsence of adultery. Dr. Addams woe about to open the cue, when Dr. Haggard said he did not know what the court meant to do in this case, but he (Dr. Haggard) bad consulted w.th Dr. Buford, who was si It him, and they w. re of opinion that they could offer no defence against the suit. The Judge seid he bad read the libel, and he thought it was not necessary to go into the merits of the me. The libel bed been proved ; he would therefore pron.:truce 1.. r the divorce. A noble duke is ,aid to be a party connected with this snit. PREROGATIVE COURT.—VESTERDAY. WARD AND CODD V. Di—THE Cowman Martinson LAW. The Queen's Advocate said the question of the validity of this will depended upon that of e marriage. A young led, of the name of Shirley E iztheth Fraser, who was an illegi timate child, and was residing with her mother in the island of Demerara, was induced by a person of the name of Dey, who was a journeyman cooper, to leave her mother's home and accompany him to the island of St. Lucia, where he obtained a license from the governor, and was, accord ing to the laws of th at bland , du l y married by a clergynian of the protestant church in 1837, she being at that time only fourteen years of age, and which marriage was duly consummated. They had lived together as m.n and wife for several years, but some time before her death, which was in June 1845, they had separated. Previously I thereto she had made a will bequeathing her property fr:m her husband, and appointed Mr. Ward and Mr. Codd her executors. The suit in this cue was promoted by the hus band against the executors, on the ground that as afemme concert she could not make a will, and the husband claimed to have probate granted to him. The learned advocate said it had been argued on the other side that the marriage was not valid, that by the law of Demerara before a marriage 'odd take place it was zeeessary to have the cue eat of the mother, where the child was illegitimate and under age, and that the marriage should be Celebrated in the pro -nth of four witnesses, cr else by du: notice in the church. This, the learned civilian cont. Ada. might be the law of Demerara, but it was not of that of St. Lucia, where the license of the governor, and the ritual of the church in the presence of two witnesses, was ell that was 'unwary to make the marriage legal. Tinto) obser vances had taken place between the parties, which was ell that the law required to make the marriage legal. This was the opinion of the Attorney-General and the chief judge of that island, as well as the* of several advocates practising in the island, and was according to the lex lad. She was nee carried away by forte or fear, but by her own fr e will, and on these points there was no dispute. The !mimed advocate argued the point of law at some length, and con cluded by calling upon the court to pronounce for the validity of the marriage, and allow Mr. Thy , to take possession of his wite'e property as her leral husband. Dr. Jenner followed on the same side. Dr. Addams, with whom was Dr. Twigs, held the mar riage to be i avalid, and argued thet the law 01 the Wand was in favour of this view; that a child, being illegieinicte and under age, could not many without the consent of her mother, or without the banes being re id three separa'e i:ere in the church, and after this solemnised in the prune* of four witnesses. This was a runaway memiage, and was ee l.brated by the parties in the church of Casten..., in the Wend of St. Lucie. The learned civiliaus ha l hat the marriage was not good according to the ex loci. One of the witnesses, who give: hir evidence as b •Mg present at the marriage, and spoke also to the consummation, as well as the solemnisation, was now only twenty-one rem of age, so that at the period of cer marriage she could have been only ten years of age, and let the same witness said she made Miss Fraser's wedding dress. Toe l.arucd civilians felt that the court would hid the marriage to be illegal, quoting the eases of " Lockwood r. Lockwood," and "Radon r. Smith," and not pronounce against her teiteey. The Court gent tbraugh the whsle of the case, and dwelt upon all the points of law argued fa the cam, an! cam eluded LI Oat it fe'e't elm ward ige was ac cording to law, •e v.7lnd, it was ( seri , w`.-rs toed intent and puroost 71 , mat *gyro • ',et for the husband :s ' —th wits.
