The first objects that strike the eye are a goodly number of aseenlotal vestments, chief among which is the celebrated Henry VI:. cope, from Stonyburst, with its beautiful embroidery and colour, and remarkable for the mingling of the red and white roses in its ornamentation as well as for its great size. Then there is the Sion cope of the thirteenth century, the work of the nuns of Sion-house, beneath which hangs • very elaborate piece of needlework, representing the betrayal of Christ by Judas, the date of which is of the twelfth century. Of the same period is a chasuble, said to be the work of Margaret de Choi), wife of Edwant Plantagenet, Earl of Cornwall. Another chasuble of the sixteenth century is notable for having, among its other ornaments, • spirited delineation of St. Dun stan's encounter with the devil, in which the saint's tongs became rudely acquainted with the demon' s nose. Last and by no means least in consideration are the mitre and stoics of St. Thomas it Becket, of the date 1164, which were long preserved in the cathedral of Sees ; sad have been lent to this exhibition by Cardinal Wiseman. Is every way curious and noticeable is a reliquary consist ing of • part of the anwbone of a saint—unknown—richly enamelled, and jewelled externally mid internally ; supposed to hoof Italian manufacture of the sixteenth century. This singular relic was found accidentally in a box of papers at Hartpury, Glouorstershire, the seat of Mr. Gordon Can ning. From the repertory of thin geolleman have also come numerous specimens of needlework and embroidery of the Uwe of Charles I. Among them are some portraits of that monarch worked with the ueedle, alter the warmer which was known to the public some planer) in what was called Miss Linwood's Gallery ; but the execution here is so admi rable, that it is dif6cult at a little distance to distinguish them from miniatures painted on ivory. There is also a hawking-pouch, gloves, he., of 1580, exquisitely em. broiclernl ; and—may it be mentioned—a pair of superb garters, which belonged to Henrietta Maria, the Queen of Charles I. It may be stated that there is a queer, and rather small looking-glass mid to have been part of the toilette furniture of Nell Gwynn;. There is besides • collection of materials of great value and beauty which were used for the costumes of Tunisian ladies about 100 years ago. Amongst the books which are exhibited I will be found a volume containing the sermons of St. Chrysostom, which belonged to Catherine Parr, Queen of Henry VIII., and which is inscribed with her tame, in her own handwriting. There is a Nuremberg Bible of the date 1h72, and • book of Common Prayer, of 1611, with magni ficently illuminated bindings ; a specimen of bookbioding of the 13th century, the covers being formed of oak, and richly jewelled ; anal there ate excellent specimens of early English bookbinding, most of the coven; being sin• 1 (Warty elaborate and elegant. Unless ore entered almost into a catalogue, it would not be possible to mention the various characteristic objects which make up this collection which is open only until Wednesday next. It is decidedly well worth • visit. THR Feels is lavintro:4..—Dr. R. Gee, the medical non attae►ed to the Liverpool Workhouse and Fever Hospital, has officially reported that there are no grounds for apprehension that the Fcrpthan fever has spread heyond the limit. of the Southern Hospital, arid the few prrsoos who bad to attend the sailors who introduced the infectioe front the frigate to which they belonged. i/vb_c LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 6, 1861.

The convert of last night eunaiated of Mr. Leslie's new Caanana, Hotyrood, followed by an excellent selection of gem undrispla, pert.soegs, and sirs for solo voices. Mr. Loads Cantata, it will be remembered, was produced at one dame wierserts a few mouths ago with greet Bec alm sod was now performed a second time with even in creased effect. We spoke of it fully at the time of its first pesforsemice ; and the impression it then gave us is now confirmed ; that notwithstanding the disadvantage of a feeble poem it is one of the most charming works of its class. The composer could not, by means of music alone, throw dramatic interest into a subject in which there is none, but he has made • marvellous use of the meagre materials placed in his hands. Several of the airs are exquisite, particularly the Caiszonc "Cella stegion novella" supposed to be sung by Dmid Rizzio, which is entrain of pure Italian melody; and Queen Mary's Romance, " In my pleasant lend of Preece," in which the under-current of natural sadness beneath her show of gaiety is beautifully andatfectinely expressed. The ditty " There once was a maiden in Melrose town," notwithstanding the inappropriate character of the words, is a very pretty imitation of the old border ballad. The contrast produced by the in. troduction of the rugged psalmody of John Knox and his followers, in the midst of the gay songs and dances of the Queue sad her court, is striking and dramatic, but its effect is lost by the lame and impotent conclusion of the scene. The choral pieces, without exception, are admi rable, full of spirit and rich in harmony, while their flow and freedom are not impaired by any elaborate contrapuntal display. The performers, es before, were Madame Sher rington as the Queen, Miss Palmer as Mary 13eatosin, Mr. Wilbye Cooper es Birsio, and Mr. Weiss as John Knox. They all slag admireblyj and their efforts—and indeed the whole performance—received the warmest applause. THE FAMINE IN INDIA. Amongst the acme received yesterday by the Lord Mayor were—Her Majesty the Queen, :00L; H is Royal High ness the Prince Consort, 200% ; Hewn.

Yesterday afternoon a public meeting of mer chants and others was held in the Mayor's Perkier, at Man chester, to promote a subscription for the relief of the people in those districts of India now suffering from famine.

Mr. GLILDOTOXE seconded the resolution, which was supported by the Rev. Mr. M'Cartie, and passed unani mously. The Rev. Canon STOWELL moved a resolution inviting the citizens of Manchester to contribute to a fund for the relief of their fellow-subjects in India, and appoint a committee to receive and administer the amount subscribed. Mr. H. HEYWOOD ECOODded the motion, which was sup ported by Mr. HADAEHAI NAORAJI t and adopted unani mously. Xr. J. Pander wail appointed treasurer ; and a vote of thanks was given to the Mayor.

During the afternoon the fund was increased to 1,4001. or 1,50.1. LIVERPOOL. A numerous and influential meeting was held in the Council Chamber of the Townhall, Liverpool, yester- day, at one o'clock, for the purpose of adopting measures to alleviate the distress of our fellow-subjects, occasioned by the famine in the north-west provinces of India, and to express sympathy with them under this dire calamity.

The MAYOR IT. Wright, Esq.) presided, and stated that, 000sequeoce of receiving a circular from the Lord Mayor of London, he felt it to be his duty to convene his fellow towismen.

METROPOLITAN STREET RAILWATII.—YCHterdIty • large body of workmen under the direction of Mr. Charles Hathaway, street railway contractor, formerly of Philadel phia, U.S., and now of Great Gurge-street, Westminster, were actively eugaged in breaking up the surface of the roadway, laying down longitudinal sleepers, and the metals for another street railway ID Victoria-street, Westminster. This railway, like that in the Bayswater-read, is to consist ' of a single hoe of rails at first, and is being laid • little north of the centre of the nod, with the necessary sidings from the west-end of Victoriastreet to Westminster Abbey, terminating at the Broad Sanctuary, a distance of about two-thirds of • mile. The original intention was to have carried the line directly to the Victoria and Pimlico Rail way Station, but in consequence of the opposition to the scheme by the vestry of St. George, Hanover.equare, sad their peremptory retusal to accede to Mr. Train, applies. tion to lay his line across • small strip of their parish from the end of the above street to the railway station, that had to be aboodoned sod the commencement to be made at the livening of St. John's and St. Margaret's district, a short distance off. The construction of the line was commenced 1 on Monday last, and about half the proposed length WAD completed yesterday and carefully covered over with ma cadam in under to consolidate it. The completion of this line is expected 12y the end of next week. ALARMING FIRE AT THE COBURN SCHOOL, BOW,— Yesterday morning about four o'clock a serious fire hap. posed at the Coborn School, Fannon quid, Bow, which was nearly attended with very disastrous consequences. Upwards of •lOU children are educated at the school, which is main tained out of the large revenue of what is known as the Coborn estate, the gift of Mies Cohere, more than II century and half since. Owing to the Raster holidaye, the mister, Mr. Marshal, was out of town, Mrs. Marshal and her son being left in charge of the establishment., their reai. deuce being attached to the school. At the time above mentioned Mr. Marshal, jun., was awoke by a noise which induced him to get up, and on reaching the lauding be found the place filled with smoke. He aroused his mother, and on making his way to the basement discovered that the tire had broken out in the kitchen and had communicated t. the board room and parlour, threatening the destruction of the entire property. He instantly ran oat and called to his aid the neared neighbours. The police under the direc tion of Mr. lierriseey, the inspector, were soon on the spot with the Bow district engine, which was at once got into operation, and after much exertion succeeded in checking the flames. The damage done to the building, however, is eouiderable, and the meat unfortunate part is that the deeds at the Coburn estate, which yielded the revenue for the school, have hem destroyed. They were deposited in • ease which was not fire proof. The fire is supposed to have °flouted in a lumber room. It was moat fortunate that the Ire was so early discovered, as a few minutes later would have resulted in the destruction of the whole building. It is stated that Mr. Marshal, the muter, is insured.

THE ZXPENDITTRE AND TRANSACTIONS OP THIS !mann. The Clerk (Mr. Pollard) presented a return moved for by Mr. Tite in the House of Commons, as to the amount of contracts, the extent of works, amount of corupensatiot for land, the amount of sewage expected to be diverted from the Thames, the amount of damage from Moods, date and amount of loan fur the tiouthwark and Westminster streets, the account of cash balances at the bankers of the Metropo litan Board, and the securities held by them. The CHAIRMAN said it would be desirable that this return should be entered on the minutes, as some must unfounded statements had been made with respect to the Board of Works in the House of Commons, and it was right that the vestries of the metropolis should be in possession of the facts. The suggestion was embodied into a resolution, pat, and agreed to. THE COAL TAX. The following communication was read by Mr. Pollard, the clerk : " Whitehall, March Zl, 1861. "Sr,—The Queen having been pleased to comply with the prayer of au humble address presented to her Majesty in pursuance of a resolution of the Home of Commons, dated the 21st inst., I am directed by Secretary Sir George Lewis to desire that you will cause a return to be prepared accordingly and tninsinitted to me with the least possible delay, in order that it may be laid before the House of Commons. " I cm, Sir, your obedient servant. " J. Thwaitesi, Esq." " F. C. CUNT. The order requires the names of all parishes within the district of the Metropolitan Board of Works, the population, mid the names of all perishes included within the Metro- 1 politan Police District, sod also of those within the 21 miles radius over which the coal tax is now collected. The return wag ordered to be mewed, the cleric Putting that it would require a good deal of time to obtain the in formation. round the metropolis. The speaker was about to above that this wee the beet mode of applying the tax, when The CRAIRMAS said the question before the meeting wag whether there should be • tax on cools or not. If the meeting decided that them should be uo tax, the =cod- Dent would be out of place. (Hear, hear.) Mr. PIZROR said that it was admitted by all persons that the embodiment of the Thorne* would he an improvement. If that wen so, this tax would be an advantage, became it would give employment to thousands of labourers. (" Hear, bear," and "Oh, oh."I Many of their great public build ings bed been erected by means of thi s t ax , an d till be had heard seine better mode suggested of defraying the cost of ellkpeter eed work, he should su pp or t th e present tax. (Hear. ) . It. TAYLOR lead he entirely supported the resolu tion, 'beanie the coal tax was must oppressive to the poor, and because he lad no confidence iu tho Metropolitan Board of Works. TheMsolutioa was them put, but the show of hands ap peared so doubtful that the chairman called on the meeting to divide. The supporters of the tax went to ow side of the room, sod the oppooenta to the other, when both par ties seemed so nearly balanced that each claimed the vic tory. The chairman then appointed acnitineers, who re ported that though the numbers were pretty equal on both aides the majority appeared to be in favour of the tax. The animus having so decided, Mr. Romig said that after the decision which had been come to, there would be no use in continuing the discussion. Re therefore moved a vote of thanks to the chairman, which miscarried. THX MAIN DRAINAGR WORKS. The engineer, Mr. Raselgette, presented a report on the progress of the main drainage works, which stated that the northern high-level sewer had programed more satiefactorily during the pest month, and, should no unforeseen delay arise, it would be completed before the next monthly report. The value of the work executed during March was about 4,750/. On the northern outfall sewer, works to the value of about 11,000/. had been executed, the ground having been excavated for the reception of the concrete for a length of about 34 miles, and a tramway laid for about 2i miles. A wharf hiuf he constructed near to 'larking Creek for the deliveryof materials, and steam-enginesand machinery had been erected for the mixing of concrete upon a largo scale. The total value of the work done upon the middle level sewer contract is about 13.0001. ; but much time had been occupied in removing defective work, pumping out ' water which had accumulated during the time the works i were stopped, and in completing sections left io an unfinished state by the late contractor. 1 n the Itanelagh storm over. flow about 1,570 feet of sewer, A ft. 6 in. in diameter, have been constructed by open cutting, and about 750 feet in tunnel : the value of the work done being about 8,6001. Thesouthernoutfall sewercontrect progressed rapidly,works to the value of about 127,0001. having been completed, viz 9,947 feet of sewer in open cutting, and 4,175 feet of tunnel under Woolwich. On the southern high level sewer the length of works completed is about 22,000 feet, and its value about 72,0001. The low level sewer under the Surrey Con sumers' Om Company 'a premises bad been completed and the Earl Outlet works were nearly finished. The machinery for the engines at Deptford pumping station is in a forward state, and the tenders for the engine•house would be re ceived at the meeting of the board on the 12th inst. The report was received, and ordered to be printed and circulated amongst the members. THE Ri-NAMINO AND RE NUMBERING OF STREETS. The CHAIRMAN said it would be in the recollection of the board that several communications had been received from time to time as to the re-naming Rod re-numbering of streets, but they bad not then convenience to consider the subject. He, therefore, thought that as there was a great number of applications, the subject should be referred to the Building Act Committee to see what could be done for bringing up the arrears and meeting the requirements of tits metropolis. Mr. Lion moved that the subject be referred to the Build ing Act Committee, which was put and agreed to. Mr. LRAM moved, " That Mr. Wiliam Wylce Smith he appointed solicitor to the board at an annual salary of 1,01.101.. sod that be shall give his whole time to the duties of the beard." The motion led to s long discussion. but it was eventually carried by s majority of 18 to 7. PTCSBUIT-PARR. Mr. SAVAGE moved " That a clause be inserted in Bill No. 1, now before parliament, for the amendment of the Metropolis Local Maossement Act, to extend the time for carrying out the provisions of the Finsbury•park Act, 20 and 21 Vie., esp. 150, for the period of three years." Mr. Pecgrrr seconded the motion. Mr. LESLIE opposed the motion, contending that the site proposed was miles from Finsbury, and that if formed it would be a park for Stoke Newington, and not for Finsbury. Some other members having expressed their opinions, The CHAIItEAN put the question, kW the motion was carried by a majority of 12 to 8. Some other business was disposed of and the board adjourned. THE METROPOLITAN COAL DUTIES. Last night a public meeting was held at the Loudon Tavern, for the purpose of opposing the bill now before parliament for the continuance of the duties at pre. sent levied on coal coming into the metropolis. The meet. ins was numerously attended. Mr. NICIIOLAT, who presided, said the meeting had been called for the purpose of obtaining an expression of opinion naked the continuance of an inspirit, unfair, and impolitic tax. Theta: was levied on one of the uecesseries of life, and that too in a most unfair nod partial manner. Any tax that increased the price of coals was a great injustice to the inhabitant' of the metropolis, and our effect of it was to drive away from London all the greet manufactories. The object of the bill before parliament was to provide funds for the embankment of the Thames, but as there was a proposal by a private company for the execution of this great work, the Houseof Commons ought to pause before they cemented to the continuance of this unnecessary tax. Asa member of the Board of Works he denied that there was any desire on the part of that body for the continuance of atax,wbich was oppressive to the manufacturer, the rate . payer, and the householder. (Hear, heir.) Mr. LAWRANCII mid they were met on that occasion to resist an unfair and an unjust tax. The embankment of the Thames might he a very desirable object ; but was it fair or just that the poor of this ine:ripolis, who were driven to the verge of starvation by a few weeks' frost last winter, should he the perilous to pay for it (Oh, oh.) lie should like to know who hissed. Was it some henger on of that irresponsible body the Metropolitan Board of Works? He should not be willing to entrust thin tax to the Metro- politan Board. (Hear, hear.) The resolution which he ha,l to propose was, that it was inexpedient and inconsistent with the policy of the day to levy onerous duties on • necessary article of consumption ; and, considering the distress which prevailed last winter and the price of fuel, that • tax on coal entering Loudon was a grievous burden, and ought not to be entertained. He could not believe, after the expression of public opinion by the inhabitant' of the metropiilia, that this measure would be persevered in. ' Mr. RICHARD seconded the resolution. Without wishing to say anything disparaging to the corporation of l the origin of the tax was unjust and illegal, was to be traced to bad times. The present measure was for a continuance of the coal and there seemed to be a great anxiety to press it forward with speed. It wissaid by some peregga that if this coal duty of Is. ld. was taken off it wofflil not make coals cheaper. (Hes . ,r hear.) That might lie the opinion of some persons, but he believed it would make eosin cheaper. ' (Hear, hear.) He believed that the poor man paid very notch more for has orals than the rich man, because he got light weight and bad coals. (Hear, bear.) It was against the policy of the present day to put an rietroi duty on an article of such universal consumption as coals. (Hear. hear.) He was as desirous to see the embankment of the Thames as any man could be, but he did not think it should be done by raising the price of the sack of code to the poor man. (Hear, hear.) Remembering the suffenng of the poor only last winter, be considered it most unfair and unwise to continue the tax. Mr. Cutvittx said that the Bd. coal tax produced from MI to 11153 no lem than 2,Z11.829/.; the 4d. tax, 1,115,9191. and the Id. tax, 2704,971r1., making a total of 3,626,000 f. A large portion of this money was to be applied to the making of approaches to Loudon, but he found that London.bridge cost 2,665,494/. boxides. (Hear, bear.) He believed it would be more equitable if a general Id. rate were levied on coals, which would produce 300,0001. With this view he had a resolution to propose. The CHAIIMAN observed that the resolution before the meeting had not been carried. Mr. COLVILLZ maid he should wait till it was. Mr. Et:ORTON supported the resolution. Mr. G. BROOK said he had an amendment to propmeto the following effect, that the meeting wax desirous of in ducing the government not to continue the tar upon coat. but that if the bill for that purpose wax ear, ied, a portion of the monies so collected should be applied for the pur. pose of doing away with the bridge and road tolls in sod PERIODICAL REST FOR POLICEMEN. On the recommendation of Captain Palin, the chief constable of Manchester, the corporation of that city have resolved on affording a periodical rest to the members of their police force. Captain Palin has made inquiry into those coostiiiif and incr e asing fluctuations in the subordinate ranks, which imperil the high character so long borne by the force under his control, and the result has bees t o OM - rime him that the police service has very few for young men of the claw from which it is chiefly s =i They seldom enter with the intention of remeiniug ; it in only when trade is dull that a sufficient supply can be had, and a prosperous season takes away again the mat pro mining bands from tho service just when they arc becoming valuable, in a report on the subject Captain Palin says : "This state of things has been more remarkable during the paid two yens, and, amongst other causes, that which appear, the most injurious in its effects is the want of regular periods for rest soil relaxation. There is a tedium and monotony inseparable from the life of a policeman from which other employments are exempt. It is absolutely necessary that he should be subject to courant supervision whilst on duty, and be is always liable to be reported for any irregularity or infringement of the regulations, which he an with difficulty be taught to consider an offence. lie is at the beck and call of everybody, and his temper is frequently severely tried by the remarks passed on him by the people. Sunday brings him no rest; and Saturday afternoon and other general holidays, when most people are enjoying their freedom, are times when the services of the police are more than ever required." After showing the large per tentage in the Manchester force of men who have not been even twelve months in its ranks, Captain Pain adds : " When it is remembered that it takes at least twelve months to make a constable tolerably efficient, and two or , three years before he can become thoroughly acquainted with the important duties of his situation, it will be ad mitted that so large a per centage of young hands must hays a very injurious effect on the character and efficiency of the force, and be calculated to lessen the confidence which it is essential should be entertained in it by the public.' Captain Palin recommends that those members of the force, the nature of whose duties will nut, under existing circumstances, admit of their being allowed any stated pe riod for rest and relaxation, shall have one entire day out of every fourteen at their disposal. The City Council have adopted the proposal, and, in order to carry it out, have de termined toiricrease their pollee force (now numbering till) by 40. The cost of • constable, excluding pay and clothing, is about 551. per annum, and the increased expenditure will therefpre be about 2,2001., of which three-fourths only is chargeable to the corporation. Since 181st a portion of the expenses of the polio, force are paid out of the consolidated fund. THE MASONS' STRIKE IN EDINBURGH. We (Seotrman) learn that arrangements, to which we referred a few days ago, are still going forward among the MUMS on strike for the establishment of a Co-operative Contracting and Building Association. We behove it is not, however, intended that the opera tive society or union should he connected in its corporate comity smith the proposed salaams, hat that the Beildirm Aasociation should be composed, in the meantime at least, of individual operatives who are prepared to take and pay up shares in the concern, and capitalists (several of wham, it is stated, have come forward with liberal offers) who shall invest in it in the some way. A meeting of opera tives who had put down their names for shares, number ing between 130 and 200, was held in the Society's Hall on Wednesday evening, at which a committee was appointed to draw up a constitution and Mee for the proposed association, and to take steps ' for getting it registered under the Limited Liabilities Act. The shares, we are informed, are to be IL each, and are to be paid up at once ; and it is to be provided that no partner shall hold more than twenty. This provision, we presume, applies only to the "operative" shareholders, for several " capitalists," it is said, have offered, and are expected to invert some hundreds each, A discussion took place at the meeting as to the total stun at which the capital of the association should be fixed. some members proposing 93,000/., and others wishing to ex tend it to 40,000 L, bet ultimately this point was left to be considered and reported on by the COll 1111 l ttee to a future meeting. It is not expected, we believe, even by the origi nators of this co-operative association, that it will have much immediate effect upon the present dispute between the operative mamas and their employers, am a considerable time must elapse, even if the scheme should prosper. before it can be in working operation, or in a position to exercise much influence on the labour market. The COLNE STRIKE.-The 44th weekly report and balance-sheet of this strike has been issued, audit shows a great falling oft in the subscriptions, although the " in come" and • expenditure" are halanccil with en surplus in band of 131. 11s. 11d. ' sgain,t st. 10a. =rest week. The subscriptions rained iu Blackburn last week amount to 1151., to which 1001. has been A. 1 ,101 from the re serve fund. and of this 2151.. 1531. has been sent to Colne. After other payments of small amount there is a balance in hand of 451., and the amount "due to the reserve fund," which has been drawn on to make up deficiencies during the recent agitation, is now 11081. An earnest appeal is made that "ell mills will come up with their levy this week." The subscription raised in Accrington amounts to 134 Os. Bd., of which 4/. 10s. was sent to Coles and 41. 10e. to Clitheroe„ but in the general summary of contributions to Colas, Accrington receives the credit of sending 13/. 55., and it would appear that Accrington also has had to draw on the " neerve fund to the extent of 161. The amount raised in Padiham last week was 20/. 7s. 91, and after taking Ct. 14a. Md. front the reserve fund, 251. is put down as sent to Color, hut in the general summary of Colue contributions Pailiham gets the credit of sending 45/. The amount raised 1 in Preston last week was 321. 12s. M., and after paying en ' tain expenses, 2ri. is put down as sent toColne, which leaves a balance in hand of 20s. But is the general summary of contributions to Colue Preston is put down as seeding IT.II. The subscriptions raised iu Hmlingden amount to 15/., of which 131. is sent to Cohn, but in the general summary Haslingdesi is put down as sending 231. The income of the week thus made up amounts to 537/., and the expenditure to 5321. Ilarwen has ceased to contribute to the strike, which is a decrease of 601. per week. The CHATHAM CONVICT PRISON.-A parliamen tary return relating to the recent disturbances at the Chat ham convict prison hes been issued. The first table It wedelns has reference to the previous imprisonment of the convicts. Of the number implicated in the iment distur lsomes, 183 had been received direct from the hulks at Ber muda and Gibraltar-all but four having been received at Chatham since October, 1860. A list of all the 857 convicts implicated in the disturbances shows their general prison character and the amount of gratuities credited to each on the Ist of February, 1861. These amounts are in some cases very large, and in many instances men with had or indifferent prison characters have 10/., 12/., or 13/. set down to their credit. In see cam we notice a men whose character is " senior,'" has more than 271. owing to him. It would give little additional weight to these curious facto if we were to copy out the register numbers of the prisonen and the precise amount credited to them ; but in almost every case where a conviction dates back two or three yews we find a comparatively large sum credited to the delinquent, while its amount seems in no way dependent on his prison character. It will be remem bered that after the riots the Ninon* were divided into six classes, the first being restored to their privileges with out forfeiture, and an ascending scale of penalties being lapplied to each class up to the sixth, the men of which fee faited these gratuities, together with all remission of NM tenon and other privileges. The first and second clam coa -1 tainel 774 men ; the third class, 123 men; the fourth d m . in 66 s.; the fi fth class, 14 men ; the sixth clam, 82 men.
