Yesterday the Friends of the above Institution held their Annual Meeting, at the Society's Rooms in Bishopsgate street. At one o'clock the Chair was taken by William Williams, Esq. M. P., the Treasurer. Mr. HARLST, the Secretary, read the Report for the past year. It 'commenced by stating the distressed state to which seamen were reduced by the want of medical aid and attention, previous to the formation of this Establishment, and the great advantages a large portion of that industri ous and valuable class of men had derived from the Medical assistance they had received. From the commencement of the Institution, many Noblemen and Gentlemen of the highest respectability had given their support to the un dertaking, and in the short period it has been instituted it has acquired an accession of supporters which fully demon strated its value and importance. The Report enlarged upon the necessity of affording an asylum in the time of sickness and distress to those brave and valnable fellows, who encountered dangers in all its various forms incident to a sea life, and stated that the Grampus had been com mo diously fi tted np as an hospital, into w hich every sick sea man, to whatever nation he belonged, was received on pre senting himself alongside the vessel, and provided in every shape with such aid and relief as his situation required, without being obliged to produce a recommendatory let ter, or any other authority than that which the condition of his health presented. fhe total number of patients who had been received in the Hospital during the last year was 1021, and there now remained nearly 130, who were still partaking of the benefits of the Institution. The sub scriptions which had been received in aid of theCbarity ex ceeded those of the former years, bat the relief afforded to distressed seamen bad been so extensive, that the funds were found to he inadequate to the growing demands that were daily made on them ; and it was therefore necessary that the friends of the Charity should unite their efforts to advance and make permanent an establisiment had been found to diffuse the most solid advantages to that our sick and hitherto neglected seamen. Mr. Alderman VENABLES said, he had witnessed the progress of the Institution, and had. great pleasure in informing the Meeting that he had ever found it productive of the greatest advantages to those unfortunate seamen whom it bad taken under its protection, and saved from observed that sailors in general were bred up to their occu pation from early youth, and attained few of the habits of persons employed on shore. They had no conception of the approach of misery, and if informed of, or directed to hospitals or other places of relief on shore, they were unwilling to approach, and were to be driven to such re ceptacles only by extreme anguish and misery. Ile intreated of every friend to the distressed seaman to visit the Hospital, and was convinced that no visitor would leave it without becoming a contributor to its funds. Mr. URQU'II•RT said, opinions were various as to the propriety of having the Hospital afloat or on land ; but all were united in thinking that some place of refuge (icht to be provided for our sailors in the time of sickness and dis tress. Ile was induced to hope that a Committee of the 11 ouse of Commons would take up the subject, and pro vide some efficient mode of relieving their distresses ; for it nes well known that numbers of our seamen, during the temporary agitations of the last two years, had left the country rather than rick their health+, and then return to England, where they would be unprovided for. He also hoped that an appeal would be made to Lord Liverpool to maintain those men, to whom we were all so much indebted, upon some principle independent of that of charity. The Thanks of the Meeting were most respectfully offered to his Majesty, for his continued patronage of the Institution. Thanks were also voted to Lord Melville, the Vice-Presidents, the Committee of Management, the Treasurer, and many other lentlemen, who had d;stin guished themselves, for their seal in the advancement of the objects of the Society. COURT OF CHANCE RY.—Fga. 4. WARD OP COURT.—TENANT V. VAUGOAN. Mr. Hain. felt anxious that his Lordship would hear this case in his ptiv4te room. Perhaps his Lordship would take it after the rising of the Court. The Lono CuiscittLott was very sorry to say, that be could not comply with that request, as neither the private room nor the Public Court could be occupied by him be yond a certain hour. lie confessed he heartily_iisliel that the Court at Westminster would he speedily completed, that this inconvenience might be remedied. Mr. HART then proceeded shortly to state the contents of the affidavits which had been directed to be tiled by the Court. His Lordship would recollect that the petition was originally presented on the part of the guardians of this young lady, who, it appeared, was now only of the age of fifteen. This young lady was certainly rather forward of lice age, and bad eloped with a clergyman of Wales. His Lordship had made an order inhibiting him from having any intercourse with her, or contracting any marriage. Notwithstanding this order, this gentleman, whose name was James James, had eloped with Jar; and it had been im puted to his brother, Mr. John James, that he was privy to this elopement. It appeared that Mr. Jn. James bad lent his brother a horse to assist him in the elopement, and bad been with the parties previous to the marriage. Mr. John James bad now filed an affidavit, and the Learned Counsel thought that be had completely exculpated him self. This gentleman stated in his affidavit that he had been in the habit constantly of lending both money and horses to his brother, and be admitted that he had on the present occasion lent him a horse. He also admitted that be was with the patties previous to the marriage, but had remonstrated with thew upon the imprudent step they were taking; and advised the young laity to return to her guardian's house. The young lady, however, was deter mined to elope, and positively refused to comply with the sequest. It was true that this gentleman's daughter bad accompanied the parties, but she was t yoang lady only 14 years of age. and was met by her father, who bad taken her away. The clergyman, who had married these parties, had also made an affidavit, which the Learned Coun sel also thought completely exculpated him. The affidavit stated that the parties lived openly in the parish over which he was curate; that the young lady bad been represented to him as being of the age of eighteen, and that she had had the consent of her mother to marry ; banns were openly pub lished, and no objection whatever was raised by any party. The witnesses who had attested the marriage were per sons Eifel& ntally present, and were, as well as the clergy. man, wholly unacquainted with the real circumstances under which the marriage was contracted. These being the facto, sworn byaffidavits, perhaps his Lordship would not feel it necessary that the parties should appear in the Court. if his Lordship thought the parties who bad thus filed these affidavits had exculpated themselves, it would be needless to trouble them to travel so many miles from the coontry where they resided, only to be sent back again. The husband had filed no affidavit, and for his conduct undoubtedly there was no excuse. He had put himself out of the jurisdiction of the Court, and was now residing in France. The wife was now domiciled with her Cr LORD CHANCBLLOR asked if the mo ther was alive ? Mr. Hain. replied that the child was il legitimate. The LORD CRANCILLOR.--BOt i suppose the young lady either has or bad a mother ? (a laugh.) Mr. Hass-thought his Lordship put the question in a legal sense only. It was, he admitted, not usual for a child to be born without a mother--The LORD CHANCRI;- LOR observed that the mother had apparently given her consent to the nuirtilige; with respect to the brother, and TIT F, STATESMAN the clergyman echo had married .the parties, there r es.' •ainly appeared to he no imputation against them.—Mr. Mawr said that the mother was certainly living. With ' respect to the remaining- part of the case. it would be ne cessary to make some order %shit respect to it. There ap peared now to be about twelve thousand pounds in Court belonging to this young lady. Out of this sum she was entitled to be allowed a maintenance, and perhaps the pro per course would he to direct the Master to inquire what that maintenance should he. The Loon CHANCELLOR bad no objection that inch an order should be made. The Court would, however, take good care that the husband should have none of this mo ney. With respect to hint, he would order that he appear before the Court on the second day of next Term. Mr. HART believed that the husband entertained a no tion that if he remained abroad, until after the lady had attained the age of twenty-one, be should then be unpu nished. The LORD CHANCELLOR. —There is no question that this young gentleman will remain in contempt of the Court so long as he refuses to appear before it. The order for reference to the Master was then directed. COURT OF I{ING'S• BENCH.-.AVEDNESDAT. BAD COMMITIIIINT. Tom Pain, the driver of one of the Hampstead stage coaches, was brought up from the House of Correction, Cold Bathfields, for the purpose of being discharged. An information had been laid against the defendant for carry ing more than six outside passengers besides har.rage ; he washable to &Tensity of LID, hut the 'Magistrates miti gated it to .£6, and in default of the payment of that sum the defendant was committed for three months, or until he paid the penalty and expense. The warrant of commit ment did not state what the expense was, but left a blank for the amount. Mr. Brtonerricx moved to brine up the man on the ground of informality in the warrant, and he this day contended, upon a case in point, that inasmuch as twitter the gaoler nor the defendant could know what he really bad to pay, the warrant was had. The COURT held that the objection warfatal, and the discharged. was COURT OF CVNINION PLEAS.—WEDXIISDAY. , (Sittings in Banco.) nouns v. MEREST.—A rule had been obtained on a former day, calling on the plaintiff to thew cause why the defendant should not be discharged out of custody, on the ground of the death of the original plaintiff in the suit. Cause was now shewn against the rule; after which, The CHIEF JUSTICE delivered the following judgment: —This is an application made by the defendant to he dia. charged out of custody as to this action, on the ground that the suit has abated by the death of the original plain tiff. It appeared that the affidavits on both sides, that the plaintiff haring commenced an action against the de fendant, had been obliged by the latter to carry the cause down to trial, where the plaintiff obtained a verdict. After the trial had taken place, the defendant gave notice to the plaintiff that he intended to apply to the Insolvent Debtors' Cour, for his discharge under the Insolvent Act. It was formerly the practice of this Court and the King's Bench to discharge prisoners, unless the plaintiff followed up his proceedings regularly, although the defendant had given notice that lie should take the benefit of the Insolvent Act. That practice was altered in both Courts by a Rule of Michaelmas Term, I Geo. 4. and by that Rule the plain tiff was not obliged to proceed after receiving such a no. tire. In this ease, however. it is said, that as the original plaintiff is dead, the suit abated on that account. The pre , sent plaintiffs, however, have not suffered the snit to abate, for they have put themselves into the same situation as the r former plaintiff, by suing out letters of administration of his estate. As, therefore, he was not bound to incur further unnecessary expense, neither are they; nor does the suit abate on that account. On the whole, I am of opi nion that the rule to which I have alluded applies to this ease, and that the motion of •the defendant must be re- fused. The other Jeidges concurred, and the rule was then dis charged. PREROGATIVE COU wr, ‘V gas as DAY. FEB. 4. D , xxa r. loom In this ease, John tioff, a peace-officer, belonging . to the! office in the borough of Southwark, had mode a will, dated I October 2s, IS2I, by which he had left the whole of his property to Elizabeth S. Doker. (a woman with whom he cohabited, both in England and in Amsterdam.) It ap peared that be had gone to the latter place on account of an arrest with which he was threatened. He had a wife and family, whom he has utterly excluded from his will: ' and a great deal of evidence has been obtained, in their behalf, with a view of invalidating the paper set up. bir Joust Nicnot, said, that however inofficious the pa per 'algd be in its dispositions, however immoral tit, mo tives that dictated it, and however repugnant it might be to the feelings of the Court to pronounce for a testament made under such circumstances; still, if in point of law and of fact this was the true act of the deceased at the time it purported to have been made, and if no act of his had since revoked it, the Court was under the necessity of pro nouncing for It. Upon the whole view of the case, the Court. both in point of law, and upon its own conviction, was bound to pronounce, although reluctantly, for the paper propounded.

POLICE. ........1.-- Mamstos House —A labouring man was charged by Mr. Smith. attor:ey to the East India Company, with having stolen a quantity of sugar, the property of the Company. The prisoner, who is an elderly man, and had borne an excellent character, was seen stooping down near a cask, and soon afterwards some sugar was found in his hat. lie was not seen taking the sugar. The LORD MATOR said he could not think of com mitting the prisoner, upon evidence which, so far from appearing conclusive, would be scouted in a Court of Justice. I Mr. Smith was convinced that the testimony was strong enough to convict, and denied that a Jury would reject it. The Loan would not stand before a Jail/ for a moment, and the Judge would scout it. The man' s previous character, and the trivial value of the sugar you accuse him of having stolen. would be powerful arguments against his conviction. I cannot thick of coin. mining him. Mr. Smith again requested that the Lord Mayor would protect the Company by sending the man for trial. It was really not to be endured that a system of robbery should be carried on against the establishment with im punity. The LORD MAYOR desired Mr. Smith to consider for a moment, that the prisoner had a large family. and an ex cellent character, and that however strong appearances were against him, it would be the man's total destruction to send him to the Old Bailey. Mr. Smith then begged that the prisoner might be re manded for some days. The LORD 11AYOR said, he certainly should not to do so. All the evidence against him had already been heard, and if there was no ground for committing him, there could be no ground for remanding him. Mr. Smith still pressed his point, but the Lord Mayor was not to be prevailed upon to detain the man a moment longer. His Lordship observed, that the man's chance of obtaining a situation now was a thousand times greater than it would be it he were to undergo a trial at the Ohl Bailey; that if lie had stolen the sugar, the determined manner in which he had been followed would operate as a warning to him; and that it would be most unmerciful to ruin the prospects and the family of an unfortunate fel low, ulto had lived to an advanced age, under such cir cumstances as had been brought forward against him.—The prisoner was then dismissed. GUILDHALL—Nis, CABE AND DECISION UNDER THE VAGRANT ACT.—As the Vagrant Act, from the general alarm and disgust the decisions under it have created, will necessarily undergo some revision and amendment this Session of Parliament, it may be useful to notice every new species of offence it is interpreted to extend to. With this view, we notice the following case, the decision upon which is certainly the first of its kind ander the statute John Millen, who is, it seems, one of the watchmen of Cripplegate Ward, was brought up, yesterday, before the Sitting Magistrate, Mr. Alderman SCHOLET, on the charge of Mr. John Pym, linen-draper, 57, Barbican. The prisoner came to the shop to purchase a yard of cloth, and threw down in payment, a new farthing, desiring Mr. P. to give him change. " Change !" replied Mr. P. with much sur prise, taking it up, " this is only a farthing." The pri soner insisted that that was not what he had thrown down. What be had given was a sovereign, and, with many oaths, charged him with wanting to cheat him ; and became so outrageous, that Mr. Pym found it necessary to send for Mr. Parlett, the constable ;to him, however, the prisoner still persisted that he had given Mr. Pytn a sovereign, and accounted for having had one in Isis possession, by saying he had just received his pay as a watchman, front Mr. Heather, the paymaster of the watch, and offered to be searched, to shew thit lie had not got one about him. Af ter an ineffectual search, the officer got a glance of sonic thing in his hand ; and after a violent resistance on the part of the prisoner, succeeded in getting his hand open, and took from it a small purse, which was found to contain a sovereign and two shillings. As it was thus pretty clear that the prisoner's intentions were ta trick air. P, the coo -1 stable considered this an offence which warranted him to lodge him in the Compter. This was the case against the prisoner, to which lie offered no other defence than that he had had a hurt in his head, and not finding the sovereign in any of his pockets, thought he must have given it to Mr. Pym. On hearing the facts, the Alderman seemed somewhat at a loss as to the precise nature of the offence, and was about to remand the prisoner, for the purpose of inquiry into his general character, when Mr. Beresford, the Chief Clerk, suggested that the offence would come under the third dense of the Vagrant Act, which enacts, " that all persons imposing, or endeavouring to impose, upon any Churchwarden or Overseers, or on a Charitable Institu tion; or a private individual, by any false or fruit Intent re presentation. verbally or in writing, with a view to obtain money, or other advantages, shall be deemed rogues and vagabonds." As it was quite certain that the fellow's ob ject was to obtain money or some other advantages or be nefit to himself, the Alderman adopted his legal adviser's interpretation of the statute, and committed the prisoner to hard labour in the House of Correction for one month. Bow" STasire.—Yesterd ay the three brothers, named Thompson, who stand charged with robbery to a large amount in the house of 'l'. P. Macqueen, Earl., M.P., un derwent a final examination, which lasted from half past one until five o'clock. In addition to the former evidence, that of a jeweller, named Carnegy, living at 57. King Street, Soho, was ' taken. • Bishop and Avis, of this office, having Peen un remitting in their exertions to trace the property, sue needed in obtaining information which led them to the house of Carnegy, where they found a valuable pearl necklace belonging to Mrs. Maequeen ; and in conse quence of the account lie gave of it, lie was taken into cus tody, and committed on Monday night last by Sir It. ' Birnie for re-examination yesterday. when Mr. Adolphus attended as his counsel. The Magistrates, however, upon consideration. were of opinion that there was not sufficient evidence to go to a Jury against him as a receiver, and he was admitted a witness for the Crown. He stated, that on the day after Christmas day, the prisoner James Thompson (as he beliered) came to his house, and offered for sale a pearl necklace, with diamond clasps. Witness said the pearls would not do for him, and the prisoner said, " perhaps you will purchase the diamonds ?" Witness agreed to do so at 31. per carat, and the diamonds were cut out from the clasp and weighed. They sleighed a little more than three carats. After some further conversation, witness agreed to purchase the pearls at 2s. each. There were 78 in the neat ice. and he paid the prisoner for the pearls, diamonds, and gold, somethieg short of 201. He had a book in which was a scale of prices for pearls. and according to the size of those pro duced. he believed them to be worth about 255. each on the average. Sir R. Bugle.—And so. believing them to be worth 25e. each, you purchased them at 2s. MINEHDLI.—IS was your duty. Sir, to have told the young man that he could not have come honestly by them, and to have bad him detained. Caroegy.—Yw, Sir, I acknowledge I ought to have done so. I was imprudent. Sir It. Btatals.—lmprudent: it was something very lunch beyond imprudence. • ROCHE AND OTHERS. This great testatnentary cause, involving property to a vast amount both in England and in China, was partially opened to—lay. The reading of the evidence alone will occupy the Court a day or two. From the facts stated by Dr. Pitillimore, it appeared th it the deceased Thomas Charles Patten, Esq. resided at Canton in China, holding a high situation in the East 1 ndia Company's service ; he left England for Canton in the year 1805. w•th a pro perty of about 10,0001. leaving behind him a wife and daughter. He resided at Canton till the year ISIS, having am assed a property of 160,0001. and then died, leaving a will, by which he bequeathed his immense wealth to his relatives, friends, and faithful servants. To his father he left 20,0001., to his wife 30.0001., to his daughter 30,0001., and to other re latives and friends, some 10.0001.. some 6001., and others lesser sums, with remainder to his residuary legatees. This will bore the date of Oct. 20, 1816, the latter end of which year he died at Canton. The will was signed by the deceased but not attested. and the following persons were appointed executors. Sir Theophilus Metcalf, H. M. hliddleton, Esq., Geo. Templar, Esq., Sir William Frazer, Bart., and Charles Maniac, Esq. The will was proved in Canton, before Mr. Elphinstone, (who then held a high judicial situation), on the 12th of July, 1816. by Sir Wm. Frazer and Charles Maniac, Esq., the executors residing on the spot, after which it was Inclosed in an envelope and transmitted to England to Messrs. Middleton and Templar, the English executors, who took it to Mrs. Patten, the widow of the deceased, and in her presence broke the seals and took it out of the cover and read it to her and her daughter, and the former (at that limo) expressed her self perfectly satisfied with the liberal bequests of the de ceased. She acted upon the will for ab ov e three years, and brought a bill into the Coin t of Chancer, or te urose of facilitating the iutentions of the deceased y , f expr h ess p ed p in Ids will. Dr. SHADY opened the case on the part of Mr. Wakelaid and Mrs. Patten. He insisted that the will prapounded was not the genuine will of the deceased; it was lette a will bad been executed by the• deceased, and he should prove by affida vits the contents of that will; but the genuine will had been abstrac ted from the envelope, and the spurious one propounded su b4;tuted in ha place: Sir JOIN Mono. said, that, es the case was one of exceed: It was stated that the necklace cost orieioaliv ;go truinea , =, and that the pearls now were worth 5Us. each, at the trade prier..

LONDON MARKETS. --+llloo ilonounn, February 3. —Our Hop market remains very firm, and the general opinion is that prices will mend. Good Yearling Bags and Pockets are in demand. Currency : —Kent Bags, 61. to 71. 104.; ditto Pockets, 71. 15s. to 101. 10s. ; 18i3 , Sl. Sa. to 151. ; 1821, 80s. to 104 s. ; 1419 and 1820, Ms. to til)S. COTTON.—Our Cotton market has much improved during Iv last week ; the sales were about 1250 bags, and much more business would have been done, had holders been disposed to meet the demand freely; the whole were taken by the trade, except about 500 Sprats for resale. Exporters are awaitin ; the India sale to-morrow, to execute their orders for the Con tinent. LIVERPOOL, January 31. —Although the arrivals of Cotton this week have been considerable, the demand fruin the trade has been very good, and about 1000 bags h ive also been tak en on speculation ; the prices of Bowed Peritainbuc 3, and Marie. bam, have advanced ktl. to id. per 15.; but there is nn improve" ment in other descriptions. The sales amount to 15,10'd bags ; the arrivals are 16,052 hags. SVGAR.—The demand for Muscovades last week was limit. ed, and the few purchases made were at prices a shadelower; Tuesday, however, there was a material improvement in the demand, and though not a market day, yet there was evidently a great inclination to do business, and some parcels were pi n k e d up at rather higher prices ; the reason for this speculative in quiry, was ascribed to the very unfavourable news received from Jamaica. Corred.—There were only two inconsiderable public, sales of Coffee brought forward last week ; the first cnn;iaint of St. Domingo and Ilavanna, met with few offers, nearly the whole was taken in. Herr, FLAX, AND TALLOW.--The Tallow market has re mained rather steady lately, the prices of yellow candle 'Psi low, fluctuating only from 313.9.1. to 355.; Tuesday the near. est quotation was the latter price. In Hemp or Flax theme is no alteration to notice. Ruu, BRANDY, AND iIOLLANDS.—We noticed the improving • appearance of the Ruin market on Tuesday last; on Wednes day the demand became brisk and extensive and the request continued with great animation during the week; the sales ' since our last are estimated to exceed 4&) puncheons ; Lor i wards may he quoted 2d. per gallon higher; Janialcas, psrti elderly the strong descriptions, at an improvement of 2d. to V. per gallon. Brandies are Id. to 2d. per gallon higher. In Geneva there is no alteration to notice. IRISH PROVISIONS.—There is no alteration this week is the Irish provisions. DREADFUL FIRE AT HAMMERSMITH. Snocutxn ACCIDENT.—About ten o'clock on Tuesday night the hamlet of Hammersmith was thrown into the greatest confusion by the alarm of " lire!" and the burst ing forth of flames from the lower part of the house of Nlr. Cox, grocer and chandler, King-Street; anti so rapidly did the flames extend, that scarcely had the family time to fly from the dreadful danger before the fire communicated to the first floor, and burnt upwards with tremendous fury. The parochial and other engines of the neighbour hood were soon on the spot, and plenty of water bein; oh tained, they were immediately in full action ; but at the most critical jiincture, when the interior of the house was nearly in flames, were beard the shrieks of a female. Some persons instantly recollected that a young wo man, who was brought to bed about 10 days before, was in the house with her infant, and a thrill of horror ran through the multitude, all believing she must in. twit:My perish ! However, the female succeeded in nuk ing her way to the windows, where her senses left her. She was, however, tescued by some of the firemen and taken to 4 house, when, on racovei ing her recollection, she exclaimed, "Oh ! where's my child:" The suddenrol of the fire, and its subsequent cmsequences, had, it sp. vire& deprived every one of his memory, and the poor infant would have perished in the flames, but for its mother's exclamation. Several persons instantly rushed into the burning house, and one man most intrepidly es erteil himself and succeeded in finding the infa.:t asleep ea a couch, and milting his appearance at the window with it, finding he could not return, as the stairs were eking wy, and, in fact, the room was in flames, he held out the child, and some person stepped forward to catch it in his ar.o , , but at the moment the infant was dropped, lie withdrew his arms accidentally, and the child filling on the pare ment, was killed on the spot. The man was obliged to jump ont ; he was scorched and much bruised by his fall. The holly of the infant was carried into a house. 'fie rapidity of the fire was such, that Mr. Cox's house was burned to the ground, and in a short time the house of his next door neighbour, Mr. Millward, watchmaker. share the sane fate, being entirely gutted. The houses of Mr d Way, Dr. Duncan, and Dr. Terrett, were also very much damaged. Mr. Cox, we are informed, was insured; Millward was not; and although lie saved considerable property, yet he has lost many articles of value. MYSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE.—An infant male chill wit left with a poor woman about nine months since, who advettised for a child to nurse, a fine male infant, al) ott four months old, fair complexion, light hair, and 'dn! eyes. The terms being agreed upon, money w.ts and a card of address given, with a promise to cell avin in a day or two, by a very respectably dressed feay , a Gentleman having called the day before , ' ,lying a M ealof his would send her child, awl he wished to see the house, Lc. The Lady observed the child belonged to a brother, and its mother being unwell was goneto Brighton. No one having since called, and the card of address proving' to be a false direction, the poor woman, as the only alw glative, being unable to support it longer, was about to take it to the workhouse, previous to which she mentioned the circumstance and other partic ulars, which are with' held from motives of delicacy , t o Mr. Bishop. ptincil"l Officer of Netvgate, who was induced to undertake care of the child to save the poor deserted infant f workhouse, and , who thinks it a ditty be ow es to the rom lie, as well as to the child, through this channel to makc the circumstance public, in the hope it may be the mran 3 of bringing to light the mystet ious case, and reliccog thei anxiety of mind its real friends may be endurin, ah°lll' they have been deceived by any faithless friend a! friends.
