This we believe to hte• been the only mission on whifh she has swig is public sires she left Loads In the spriag. She has been for a (*raid rabid time past seriously out of health, and, though somewhat better . it was lly understood at Ras that the smart was given against the advice of her medieval attendant.

CHARON OF DEFRAUDINO THE BRIGHTON AND Boors COAST RAILWAY COKlPAWY.—Yestirday Henry Leek., Charles Cheeseasa, sad Stephen Spiegel' were I charged at the Brighton polies court with defrauding the Brighton and South Coast Railway Company. It appeared from the stati meat of Mr. H. Faithfull, solicito:, who son fleeted the prosecadow, sad the evidence ol Mr. Frederick Slight, the aceoustint to the company, that the hand wee ellacted la the &Inas' maser Leaks was a clerk at the Iseedis tirmdass, where he had the custody of the nano, awl it was also pert of his duty to deliver tickets to masa pee. The tickets are asubered consecutively from i.e to a Shunned and so ea, and sapposiag any ticket were dis sented unapt those collate 1 from passengers which biro • tether beyond the total quantity issued for the day, that would muse suspicion and inquiry. Oa &today Mr. Wee thestead, the station master at the Landau terminus, having had his suspicious excited, examined the stock of tickets, sad discovered that from thirty to forty bossing bawd numbers were sada. He mentioned this het on Monday mensing to Hr. Slight, who then examined the tickets himself, sad the tickets bearing the leeward samara skirt' were missed the day before Were in their plaissu hat es looking at tun tickets minutely he perceived that they had be. a duo d, which was only done when they were issued to passengers, but that the date had been erased, not aufli• neatly so, however, to escape detection. Leeks, on being asked to account for this, at once confessed that he had issued the forward numbers which bad beencollected by Chessman, the chief collector at the Brighton terminus, and by him tramenitted through Springers, who was one of the guards, bask rigida to him (Leeks), and he then placed then in their order and mimed than in the ordinary course of traffic. Then being no other evidence against Chessman and liprienta than this confession of Leeks, Mr. Housman ob jected-that it eoald not be received against them. Tae bench concurred, and they were discharied, but Leaks was re manded actil Friday.

Advice, from Riga to the 27th August state that a good deal of business had been done in hemp, at market prices, which continued firm. The advance which took place in the beginning of the week in flu was not 'maintained, and the mice foe /juienbarg had receded to R. 26i to 27i. A good deal of bssi nese had been done in *ite flax for English acconst at R. 29. Fine qulity linseed remained firm at R. 151 to 16; the lower deseriptiona had drooped. Hemp seed was quite neglected, and might be had on lower terms. In grain there was very little doing. Oats could be had at 1 ls. 9d. per quarter free on bird. 1,067 vessels had arrived, and 961 Imola baksailed this year. Freight was abandant, but the scarcity of tonnage was a great drawback to operations in the leading staples. The rates of height to Loudon and the east coast were 375. 6d. to 40s. for hemp and flax, and 3a. 9d. per quarter for crashing seed; 3s. 3d. for cats Ex change on London, 371 d. for S months. The clear ances up loth. 22nd August were : flax, 32,300 tau; hemp, 10,330 toes; crushing seed, 158,000 qrs.; hemp seed, 7,000 qrs. ; barley, 73,000 qrs. ; rye, 23.000 qrs..; oats, 6 The advice' fromA rc h angel,rc of the 18th August, °Main nothing new as re4ard• markets. The stock of Linseed was reduced to 6,000 qrs., the greater part of inferior quality, fur which high rates were asked. Ships were scarce, and tonnage was much wanted. At Btettis, on the 29th, several charters were re ported to England, at 2s. to 2s. Gd. for wheat, per qr.; to Loudon, 101. for 1,000 oak staves ; 121. to 13s. Gd. per ton sine. Montreal adv!ces of the 20th August state that a fair amount of business bad been done during the week preceding the departure of the mail. Flour was improving in price. Early in the week superfine sold at 21s. to 21s. 3d.; but subsequently good brands were in demand at 21s. 6d., and in some instances • shade higher had been paid; extra superfine was asked for at 21s. 9d. to 225. Of wheat there was little in the market: for good Upper Canada mixed 4s. 9d. per 60 lbs. was offered. For oatmeal 17s. was offered and refused. There bad been a very active demand for both sorts of ashes. Pots and pearls had bsth ad vanced, and were in demand, the former at 30s. 6d. to 30s. 9d., end the latter at 30s. 9d. Exchange was dull, at the following quotations, viz.: Bank, 60 dap, on London. 101 per cent. prom.; private, 60 days, on London, 91 to 91 per cent. prem. ; ditto, 90 days, 81 to 91 per cent prem. As regards freights, there had been no vessels up for London. To Liverpool, the rate for flour was steady, at 3s. 101 d. per barrel; and for ashes as high as 325. Gd. had been paid. To Glasgow, engagements had been made at 4s. for flour. The total receipts of produce at:Montreal, uks to the 17th August, this year, were u follows, viz. : Ashes, 17,179 barrels, against 13,459 barrels at the corresponding period of last year; flour, 345,061 bar rel., against 319,241 last year; wheat, 158,984 bushels, against 111,244 last year; pork, 14,013 barrels, against 10,003 last year; beef, 403 bunk, against 235 last year; butter, 3,500 kegs, against 3,439 last year ; lard, 2,721 kegs, against 3,207 last year; barley, 845 bushels, against 7,202 last year; peas, 40,339 bushels, against 29,660 last year ; oat. meal, 6,498 barrels, against 3,079 last year; oats, 3,632 bushels, against 2,714 lest year; corn, 33,943 bushel's, against 36,114 last year. The expor's of produce for the same period are embjoined : Ashes, 11,398 barrels, against 11,207 last year; flour, 121,422 barrels, against 199,537 last year; wheat, 14,686 bushels, against 22,347 last year; pork, 806 barrels, against 779 last year; beef, 297 barrels, against 141 last year; lard, 30 kegs, against 165 last year; butter, 617 kegs, against 1,171 last year; oatmeal, 13,118 barrels, agairst 350 last year; peas. 67,127 bushels, against 8,702 lest year; barley, 111 bushels, against none lot year ; oats, 2,000 bushels, against none last year; leans, 30 bushes, egainPt tone last year. As regards the markets in this country for Cana dian produce, a Liverpool contempotary I.ublishes the following : A further advance has taken place in aches this week. Montreal pots nil at 40e.; and pearl. 36.. The demand has bees good all the week ; stocks are mash reduced and held in few bands. There is a great falling of in the import of timber, but, with the exception of St. Jahn's pine, there ap pears sufficient to meet the limited demand for consumption. All Quebec woods are lower, yet there is no fear of any further decline; on the contrary, with the prospect of an abundant harvest and general prosperity of the country, and also with the fact before us that importers are not facing their car goes, en advance may be expected on the next arrivals, to men the enhanced prices in th , colonies, and a'so the higher freights and incresird rate of insurance. Imports pieme Ist February from Nnrth America-: 155 vessels, containing 77,652 tons of timber and deal,, against 160 vessels, with 85,148 tone, in the eorreeponding period of last year. From the north of Europe, 28 vends. cuntaini.l 6,788 tons, ageism 48 vessels last year, with 15,467 tons. The sweep import to corresponding period of the pr<sions four years was 18,773 tons. The market is well supplied with staves and deals, sad, although the imports from the Baltic are en so limited a scale, the demand is quits of a retail description. Thera are no winds of pitch pine this week. The official returns pnblithed by the United States treasury of the revenue and exper.diture for the twelve months ending the 30th of June, 1849, are the following : Receipts, Customs, 28,350,754; Linde, 1,833,749; Miscellaneous, 3,280,219; making a total of 33,214,722 dollar', the expenditure is thus clamed : Civil, 10,518,770; War, 17,868,529 ; Navy, 9,792,495; intone, 3,601,940; making a total of 41,784,834 dollars. The excess of expendi ture over revenue is 8,520,112 dollars, to which should be added the indemnity paid during the last quarter to Mexico. The deficiency would then be 12,020,112 dollars. The total amount paid to Mexico is 9,677,234 dollars, which would reduce the actual deficiency for government purposes in the revenue for the year to 2,342,878 dollars. The total export of Specie from New York from cf January to the 21st of August was 1,598,544 dollars. The coinage of the Unit. d States Mint at Philadelphia during the mouth of July was to the value of 1,128 690 dollars, of which 1,098,690 was in gold, and 26 000 in silver. The subjoined o ffi cial statement of the debt and bonds of the state of Alabama will no doubt be into resting to many of our read,rs: The bonded debts of the seats of Alabama, as reported to the last legislature, distinguishing the place of payment, when due. and rate of interest, me es annexed : STATI OT ALAIIAXA.-PCBLIC FIMANCJI.

In 1848 all the sought, a made warns bet Dole, Monroe, and Washington. In 1847 the assessments in theme counties amounted to little more than 8,000 dole. In addition to the above debt, the State owes bonds to the amount of 600,000 doh., invested in the capital of the Mobile Bank. The bask has, thus far, paid the interest on time bonds, and has now against the State 90,000 dole. for latent* paid on them. The above tables show the oaths indebtedsess for which the State is required to provide moonset payment. The Bond Debt is aot so'lartre as the foregoing table shows it to be. That table is taken from the latest official report, but sines it wee prepared, the Ba,l Commissioner hae, no doubt, reduced the debt by the purehaise of bonds. What the amount of re Judea is we have nemeses of mortalities. The cost of collecting the tams in 1847 was 12,336 dole„. the east in 1848 (the masa per onstage being allowed as in 1847), will mash 20,000 dole.

Up to the 13th of January, 1849, there had been collected of the good, bar doubtful, and unknown debts of the banks, 931,741 dole. 84e., which amoaat has been, without doubt, converted into men titles for the parch.% or state bonds. At San Francisco the American tariff of 1846 is in foree, and foreign vessels pay tonnage dues at the rate of one dollar per ton register. All foreign vessels under the barthen of 70 tons are allowed to engage in the wasting trade, end to run in the rivers which lead to the grid regions. Foreign vessels can procure a license from the Custom-house to enter any of the rivers, but in that caw they are Lot permitted to re turn to San Francisco. From Valparaiso the accounts to the end of Jane report business, especially for imp-irta, u being in a very lar guid etat•, and although there bad been some activity in freights to California, for seals and wheat, the demand for vessels still continued, and business 1 N THE EXPRESS, THUR,SDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 6, 1849. in exports for Europe offered toe. meat of tonnage.

It was quoted :—Sopencir washed at 3,500 to 4,000 ; ditto unwashed, 3,150 to 3,250; first, 2,650 to 2,750; second, 1,900 to 2,650 per aerobe. Freights t r the Channel, 505.; one vessel had been taken up to Lon don at 455. and b per cent. Letters from Bahia of the 23rd July state that this year's sugar crop, which was nearly concluded, had fallen considerably short of the amount of the pre - vim§ year, and prices, therefore, were looking up. Tf-e quotations were 2,000 to 2,500 per arroba for fair lista. For brown at 2 there was a brisk demand, but the whites are not of sufficiently good quality to command 2,500. The heavy rain which had fallen bad produced a beneficial effect on the growing canes, and the coming crop was ex pected to appear unusually early. Exchange on London had been steady for some time at 251 d. The last freight paid to the channel and a port was 40s. Si: British and three foreign vessels were then diteagagtd, with poor prospect' cf getting loaded. Seven voted' had sailed sines the 6tb July for the Chanoel for orders, two to Gibraltar for orders, one for Liverpool, and 10 vessels were then loading for various destinations. Cotton was quoted 4.200 to 4.600: coffee, 2 600. At Pernambuco, on the 28th July, business was dull, as is usually the case at the fall or the shipping season. The rains had been copious, and the season altogether favourable to the ensuing crop, which pro mised to be a very abundant one. Sugars are quoted I —For white, 2.150 to 2.800 ; brown, 1.860 to 1.900 ; l eottoo, 4.800 to 5.000. Exchange on London firm at 250.

Tim growth of Parliamentary and Financial Reform Associations in all our great cen:res, their gradual knitting together, and extension to lesser localities, covering thekingdom with one vast net, is certainly the most remarkable fact cf the epoch. Hitherto political associations were considered incapa ble of existing or enduring unless they wok up the frenzy of the moment, and spre.id their sails to the popular breeze that happened to be blowing. When this was wanting, such societies sere apt to de gene rate into one of two extremes, Either int, the puerile or dilettante, or into the treasonable and the criminal. They either veiled them selves under the innocence of the one. or sought attraction in the melojramatic interest of the other. For the first time in British annals we have now a great essociation, formed in the first instance from the middle and the industrious classes, and gra dually rallying to it the liberal and the well-inten tioned of all other grades, and this without frenzy, or froth, or excitement, and without any of the clap trap considered necessary for such gatherings and such asacc:ations. Sulf in fact is in nowise necessary. The government of England has arrived at that pitch that it takes from the pockets not only of the rich but of the poorest eviler such an erormous portion of the daily fruit of his industry—from one-tnird to one-half at least—that finarce end financial reform has become every one's concern, and as the hope to combat expenditure by brawling, without having a vote to influence or to give, is preposterous, parliamen tary reform and the suffrage is every one's concern, as the only guarantee for not being robbed and starved. It is the oldest political maxim of the land that none should be taxed, save through his representative. But tho representative system, in the mater of taxa tion, has become a mere humbug. The camera cf the nation have been taxtd lime out of mind by the en joyers not only of the fruits of the land, but of the taxes in addition. And it is, and it has been, the in terest of a majority of them to add to taxation, in order to have the larger share for themselves. What the people want then, is a true peril 'meet oftax payers, to control that yayliament of tax-leviers and tax-spenders, which sits in Westminster. This new parliament can be no less and no other than the country itself, meeting, suggesting, inter communicating, consulting, devising legally, consti tutionally, and peaceably, the best means of being really and honestly represenud, and, at the same time, of gathering wisdom and ideas for members to entertain and represent, instead of, as under the old and the yreaent ►ystem, the indu•triou. classes aban doning their interests and their influence blindly to the very class, and the very men, most interested in making dupes of them, and in idly frittering away the Rational property with the same reckless and ignorant prodigality that paternal pr iperty is spent by those who have been merely born to it. Nor, indeed, has this dominant class been, hitherto, so much to blame. For prodigality has been in Eng land, if not a virtue, at least a popular vice. England, though the freest of nations in name, has been that in which there prevails the most dependence. In no country have the poor and industrious many been kept in such ut'er dependet ce on the few, the powerful, and the rich. And the many did not dislike this—did not grumble, like surly foreigrcre, at social inrquality. On the contrary, the more wealthy and more toirerful tho spending class, the more was it liked by the gaining class, for thereby they reckoned upon easy gains. Why do farmers lament the repeal of the c ma laws, and those high prices which were lelgh and low to them only according to the rent they chore to pay? It is be cause the farmers like to have landlords rich and easy, and thus above driving a hard bargain. Why are City tradesmen so often torics? Because they like to have to do with purchasers in equipages. Both are caterpillars, that like the rich leaf to feed on, instead of the honest portion gathered from the frugal multitude. But this division of society into lords and serfs is, so far as property is concerned, disappearing. When monopoly and privilege, those two crutches of igno rant wealth, have been struck frtm under it, it must fall to the ground, or walk like °flur people; and farmers and traders must be content to have relation, with men of business like themselves, which will be all the batter for both. Bat we are wrong to use the futu-e tense, the transition we indicate being present, palpable, and imm , diets. We observe it in the transactions of private life, and the Financial and Parliamentary Reform Association show that it is extending to public life. The monopolists of power have, in fact, shown their incapacity to monopolise wisdom. They have recklessly spent in war a mass of capital, without calculating or caring for the ability of future generations to boar the burden. During a (palter of a ccrtury of peace they bare taken not the least troub'e to lighten the burden, end they have ruled, as t'ey rule, living from hand to mouth, reckless of the future, and scarcely able to get through the pre sent. No private firm would be tolerated or trusted, that went on as the great political firm of England is msnaged. And accordingly the sleeping and deeply interested partners of that great firm, hitherto micron suited, nay, excluded from practising control or giving advice, have determined to do both one and the other, not tumultuously or menacingly, but with quiet, with reflection, with determination. The parliaments and the g :vernments of the last half-century have most grossly mismanaged the resources of the country, and each session both confess their utter inability either to retrench, or in any other way than retrench ment to provide for the difficulties of the future. When such a man as Mr. GURNEY speaks out, it is time for every man to look about him, and see that he is not precipitated into the abyss of bankruptcy and anarchy by those ruling parties which have brought the country to the brink. Such is evidently the sentiment which presides at the fjrmation and spread of thew associations, now felt everywhere to be a neceesity. The aristocratic party, in pretended and false fear of revolution, may refuse ex tension and freedom of the suffrage, but in peraistir g tn retain power exclusivi ly, whilst showing and an miming the want of wisdom to exercise it, they are actually producing what they would avoid, the direct partie'pation of the country in the management and consideration and control rf its affairs. That the country will so participate, is evident. It will be for parliament next session to decide whether this shall be granted I gaily or whether the power and practice shall be quietly, naturally, and irresistibly assumed. What parliament could oppnse the wishes of a hun dred thousand associations speaking the one thing with one voice from every part of the land ? us tOLHl so NG lik th e a the likely to produce government benefic i a l has doneappears effect.a: to the publication of the Registrar-General's report. It is the weekly record d the walk of pestilence, and the amount of death and wretched -ess closed by our neglect, brought before us in un-rring num bers. Up to Saturday last there had died in London of cholera swing thousand one hundred end twenty-nine persons, and, since then, we mast add nearly another thousand. These are figures which express, in the strongest possible manner, the degradation of some parts of our axial system. Were these figures alone published they might serve to dishearten and dismay. It might appear that cholera was a mysterious viaitatiou of providence, not a result in a krest degree of natural causes. Bat with his fearful array of figures indicating death, the Registrar-Gmeral publishes an account of the districts in which death has occurred. This revelation of the condition of parte of our metropolis should be known to all. Had it sh I 13j ex fat ►W 4 104 Ili I 4 THIS DAY. Two o'Ciocx.

But, alas! the evil is at our own doom, the sufferers are our own brethren, and custom ha s hardened our neglect of each other into an indif ference which the profoundest mist ry of humus beings can scarcely penetrate. We feel this ram be true, when we see week after week fee sic dietricts attacked with disease, and the same revelations are made of neglect the most culpable and wicked. At the moment we are writing t he re are places in Lon_ don into which cholera is insidiously making its way; here and there a case has occurred, but no notice is taken of it ; presently it will be seen that the poison has been festering, and the sudden destruction of a large number of lives will reveal in the registrao s report the removeable evils that have caused this death. As a means of stirring up local authorities to a sense of their duty, we would recommend the intelligent inhabitants of places where nuisances exist, or are suspected to exist, or where cholera hes broken out, to memoriali-e imme diately boards of guardians, vestries, commissioners of paving, or other bodies, having power to act, di r.cting attention to the evils of which they have to complain. We know too well how u-elects such a pro ceeding is when done as a matter rf Imm, but let these questions be pressed with the earnestness which their importance demands, and it will be friend that local authorities can no more resist prey-ure from without than the higher powers, whom io their indif ference to the wants of the people, they are so fond of imitating. In referring on a recent occasion to the increasing sources of disease in London, we had Lot space to refer to an evil cf increasing magni tude, and which might be classed amongst the cumulative sources of diseaee. We refer to the cha racter and supply cf water is Loneon. If there be any one point in which modern is behind ancient, tape oially Roman civilization, it is in the almost system. atic disregard cf the contamination of water use d fcr cooking and dietetical purposes. By far the greater proportion of the water wed in Loudon is derived from the Thames, and that in localities where it is mixed with the contents of the common sewers from all London. That such water can bs fitted for drinking or culinary purposes by any process hitherto invented ie exceedingly improbable, for after pa'sing through the ordinary processes, of filtration in charcoal, sand, or sandstone, if allowed to stand for a few hours, it is sure to emit a roxi ou smell, indicative of the fact that decomposition from the vegetable and animal matters contained in it, is going on. Such matter, under ordinary circumstances, may become the source of disease, aid predispose takir g it to serious and fatal attacks of illness. And there is much evidence to prove that the present fatal epidemic of cholera, if rot pron uced, has been greatly increased, by the impurity of water. Dr. JOHN SNOW MB just published a pamphlet on the mode of communication of cholera, in which he shows 'hat it is exceedingly probable that the mucous membranes of persons diseased with cholera throw ff a quantity of cells or germs, which being diffused through water may be taken into the system of others, aid thus again pro.ttue the disease. Dr. SNOW has taken particular cases, and shown how probable it is the disease should have originated in this way. Thus he refers to the cues which occurred st Albion-terrace, Wandsworth-road. It appears that the seventeen houses composing this terrace are not more unhealthily situated than many others arcund them,' but that the disease was entirely confined to them. It seems that during the storm of July 26th, a drain connected with the water closets burst, and emptied itself into a tank from which the inhabitants of the terrace were supplied with water. The first per son was att. , cked on the 28th of July, the second on the 30C), and be tween that date and the I Ith of August upwards of twenty persons had died in this row of houses. Dr. Sxow goes on to remark, that what the tank that supplied water to the houses of Albion-terrace was to the inhabitants, the Thames is to London. The com mon sewers of London, with the contents of est. ry cess pool and privy, empty themselves into the Thames, and this is the way in which Dr. SNOW believes, the particles are diffused that become the germs of disease in those who partake of its water. He points out that on the south aide of the river, where the thole-a has been reset prevalent, the water works obtain their supply from those parts where it is most polluted by sewers, none of them obtaining their water higher up than Vauxhall Brir'ge. The districts which have most suffered after the Leith are the east, and these are again supplied with water, partly from the Th s, and partly from the river Lea, which receives several large sewers. The dietticts which taTe suffered !cast are these which are supplied from the New River and the Thames above Brentford, from neither of which sources at present does it appear that diseased matter could be brought by the water. Other instances are quoted by Dr. SNOW, not sufficient, perhaps, to establish the position that this is tr e sole mode of the conveyance of cholera poison into the system, but quite sufficient to show thst the use of impure water has much to do with creating a predis position to this disease. That the defective supply and impurity of the water of London is an evil of a cumulative kind will be obvious when it is known that there has bets no raw sou. ee of supply for the last twenty years, &though London has nearly doubled its popu ninon in that period. With this increase of the topuLtion the unfitness of the Thames water for human consump tion must have increased. Not only is a great proportion of the water sup plied to London entirely unfitted for use by its adulteration with animal aid vegetable mutter, but the supply is defective, the method of that supply is most objectionable, and the cost is very- much greater than there is any nem sa.ty tor. All the* are points that deteriorate the sanitary condition of Lot.don. At the present moment there are 70,000 houses in Lon don, containing not less than 660,000 inhabitants, which have no water supplied to than from any one of the eight great water monopolies which exist. The COIN plena, of this deficiency is a want of cleanliness and the accumulation of frith that engenders disease. Even with the districts supplied with water, the ad vantages of the supply ere diminished by the fact of the water being laid on only at certain intervals, so that frequently when the water is most urgently seeded it is not to be had. The cost at which the present imperfect and deficient supply is main tained greatly exceeds that which it ought, were a proper economy regarded. The feet is, our eight great water companies ere monopolies of the most gigantic kiad, having influence enough to keep any competitors out of the field, and are themselves hedged round by seta of parliament in such a way that, unless strong public feeling bs directed to the point for the purpose of uprooting them al together, it will be almost impossible that any improvement should take place in the present supply of water to the metropolis. This is another great branch of the sanitary reform question that demands the attention of the public, and the government ought not to be allowed to rest till it has wrested the supply of so important an article of health as water from the hands of private companies, and placed the whole superintendence of the water-supply of London in the hands of a b idy responsible to the public. GENERAL GoRGET, in whose character and prowess the European world was so dr( ply interested has not deigned to give that disappointed world the least scrap of explanation for his conduct. We only hear of the Hungarian general u a cherished inmate of the Russian camp. His letter to the governor of Comoro, advising him to surrender, is the lamest and poorest epistle that a soldier could indite; and if KLAPKA, oven in surrendering, spat upon the epistle of Ci6ROEY, we could perfectly understand the senti ment and the act of contempt. And yet we have by no means either the proof or the belief, that General GUMMY was what might be called a tr►itor. We believe that GURGEY was, and is, a mere pro fessional soldier, poesessed of courage, of Atli, and of the honourable qualities which consitate his calling. But of patriotism he seems no: to have had a spark. His own illustration as a soldier, his own %mews, was evidently his Bret thought—his country's safety or freedom was evidently a secondary consid. ration with him, a care that he left altogether to tie Pules. Not to be beaten, or, when beaten, to 1 ale a speedy revenge—to keep his army together—hot as come'. tuting the defence and securi:y of the country, but as constituting the importaime of its general —such were GURGEY'a aims. Ile did not care much whither he retreated, or what he abandoned, provided I
