Two piing fellows. named Jam Brumley and Join Cu/rev/on, well•kns•wn thieve'', having each of then. modeled% appearance he. hue at this bar, were brought up yesterday before the Sitting Ma gistrate, Mr. Alderman IlaiDGes, charged with ft luay antler the following ritratinstanct : William Idle, a lad in the employ or Mr. lloole grocer, No. 110. London-road, hail been sent into the City with two cwt. ot moist sugar, dour• op in eight pant:sant' a ipararter of ■ hundred eadt, in a truck, between six and seven o'clock on Tairahay even ing, and in passing along l'pper Thames.street, came to a Blatt WillTe the paremelit Wall up, or nut of repair, in %itch a manner as to muter it almost impossille foie Lim aluae to drag the truck over it. A stranger, who turned out to be the prisoner Callaghan, very read ily volunteered hi% assistanitc, aid was in Stu, net of performing this Ind Aire, when Charles Herds:Mit, an active I ity c'tirer, who happriwal to ki MI the luok.out in that neighlantarlioucl, eawe up, and knowing Callaghan'. character, and seeing Brontley. whom he ales knew, close behind the truck, 'married they were IthOtlt to rob it, and accordingly followed. As the truck turned the comer id a street be lost sight of the whole party for r minute, and, at die woe ltronaley returning will one of the parcels of sugar u 1.0.1 ht. slier War. II e stopped and secure.) him, and some of t h e p s ,,, miii rers, I. ) hi‘ s hreetion, followed the true: and fICCOTeti Calhagtasn, who was still eoutinuing his friendly otr.ccA in assisting the hey bile to drag it. Sorb sere the fiums detailed In evidence by the officer aml the led, bin neither of them saw the parcel taken out of the truck. There was no mar!: upon it by which the lad tould identity it, avid all he knew was, dint vie such parcel was inissirg Croton Imo truck. This difficulty, hewer , . r, was got err by the evideice of o n e of Mr. llooles shopntiat, who swore , . that the poem pr:eliteed was one of those put into the truck Inc r boy to deliver. lie knew it by the manna in which it was d u ne up. he having tied it himself. Bromley made 1:o deter:cc. but dee:land that Callaghan was not in his root iormy ; that he did out know him, and had never seen hint laifore ia hi. lite. I 'allaghatt catight up the sante story. declared he knew nothing Itromley, was entirely of the robhery, and had assisted the lad merely out of good-old. If ards,idd end the lad loilJ were questioned, but neither of them had seen any act of cut eert or communication between the prisoners Getterwise titan above related. C illaghan, cunning imough to know that this ended the charge ref f,lony as respected himself. now loudly reiterated his protesta tions of innocence, and declared be got hie living by hie trade sea shoemaker, and volunteered hit address and the name of a person for whom he said lie w.irkid. Ilarrison, the Marsitalman, who leis a toletably extensive know. ledge of the persons of mint of the city thieves, was then called by the llagedrate, and asked if he knew the ;trimmer (:ellaglisn. Ilarrison--Yes, your Worship, 1 know hint very well ; he is a noted thief. Ile-is what they call a drovirtati ;he will pick a porker. or lend a hood in a rubbery of any kind. Callaghan denied this accusation, and said he had never been brought up to that Office beliore but once its his life. Morrison—Vette NVorship, he knows 1 know him very well; he is no shoeusaker, but gets his living by thieving. Last time we had him here he said he was a fish:ll.4lpr. A constable of St. Sept lehre's parish also recognised him, and said. on one occasion, when Its haul hums in cu stody, Callaghan told the Alderman that he got hit Itvioog by his trade as a fishmonger. (:allagh in—Will you swear that I ant the young man you had its custody? The constable smiled, and said—Yes ; you know vary well it is true. Mr. Atlantan llama ca said he hail no doubt but that the two prisoners had acted in concert, anti that the one had volunteered his assistance to the lad fm the ;terrine of occupying his attention while the other robbed the truck. I 'nfortnnaiely, however, for die cause of justice, thee was no proof before hint of their having been seen in roitimuiticstion together, and consequently no evidence to warrant Lim to commit CAlaglian for the felony. As, however, be had been found tinder circumstances of very strong suspicion, and was known a. ft ronnmon thief, he should commit him to hard la hour in the /louse of Correction for duce months, and Bromley to Newcate for trial. The showman now stepped forward and said, that Mr. Hook desired him to nay that he did nut wish to prosecute, if be could get the sugar bark without. The Alderman reprobated in strong terms such a proposition, and directed all the parties to be hound user. A bricklayer's man, rained /'aft :milk was brought up by Tampenny, a city officer, who had stopped him between FIX and seven o'elock that morning in Smi thfirld, with about 30lias. weight of old lead lit a hag, which be said he hail brought from a house in Boll's-hoildings. Fetter - late, where he was at week, and was going to sell it bowa little beer. Ali. Noy, the master bricklayer, mid he could not swear to the lead, as there was a good dead of the same sort about the premises. torte could he say that it was his property till it had been carried home to his yard. Mr. Clint, the occupier of the premises, was precisely in the same situation. lie could not identify the property. nor entild lie swear that it wan his. This premises were undergoing a thamugh repair, and the lead might have been part taken from the neigh tutoring house, the gutters of which communicated with bit own, and which his neighbour, of course, was bound to keep in repair. The prisoner's own account was, that he foetal it at the bottom of a cess-pool he was employed to clean oat. That this might possibly have beenshe case was allowed, and under all the circumstances, the Alderman considered that there wortlol he to tooth difficulty in the proof, that the charge of felony most he abandoned, and the prisoner was convicted in the Tenuity of Mk. under the aratute, for having the lead in his posseasiort without being able to give • satisfactory account how he became possrased of the same. 1111W.STIZE!.:T. Yesterday Mr. Perry. a coal-merchant, appeared Kinn s sum mons, to answer to two inhumations, one charging hint with hav ing refused to allow a MA to be measured whin fni4Uitind to do so; and the other with negleniag to cause a bushel measure so be carried in a conspicuous place upon a waggon laden with coals, r ordered by the Act of l'atliantent. The informatione were filed soul signed by a man of the name of C.

The infonniniuns having been laid before Mr. HALL 11, the Sitting Magistrate, and Mr. Petry being called, he answered, and presented hinni If at the tattle. Mr Ilan re ha aim:need as his snlienor. Charles King, the internier, was next called, and ininctlintely a tall, singttlar.linking man, of thin middle age, dressed in shabby black, with silk tivllt nine, and a great iindledon of hair upon his head, rushed through the crowd to the front of the tattle, and in great seeming agitation sail, " I know nothing of the matter, Mr. Magistrate, I beg distinctly to state, that I have no complaint whatever to prefer against Mr. Perry." Mr. aktis —lhn't be in a hurry, Sir; let me first inquire into the nature of the we. Mr. King—Vou may inquire as much 3% you please, but I tell you that I have no charge against Mr. Perry. Here • singular conversation took place between the Magistrate and Mr. King s the latter said he did not know whether or not the eignatare at the bottom of the informations was his ; and insisted that he knew nothing against Mr. Perry. Mr. lIARIECR obsessed, that there was no ground whatever fur the charge. Mr. Brarlfield—l repeat that I have good ground for complaint. The practices I charge against 3lr. Perry are notorious. Mr. Hoaxes--Str, you shall not %Mild thefn and traduce the character of my client, who is u respectable a man as any it. Loudon. Mr. Bradfield was replying, when he Win stopped by Mr. HILL% who saki he would have no accusations bandied about nut either aisle; Mr. King bad withdrawn the informations, and that was quite sufficient. Mr. Kung, upon hearing this, said, ee Certainly, Sc,"i and turning upon his heel, hastened out or the office, remarking as he went, " I ion poor, it is true—bat lam not yet an informer." At Mr. II AR MEWS request the informations were int nuntiolid, in order that be might, if he chose, take steps against Mr. Bradfield. Alr. Bn eltieltl, on the other hand, declared that he wotilit exhibit fresh informations, and here the matter rests for the present. If ATTOS-G A EDEN.

Ills., which 'OM war pain MS the price of it, amid Duncan went Wray Pa tislied. Ina abort time after there was occasion for this gold, when it proved tisk nothing better than a mere mats of Inferior me, not exceeding at the most, from Sea. to Old valise. The bar of spu rled3 gold being exhibited to Mr. Johnsen', the gentleman ollmled to, he immediately 'laded baring remyed that particular piece for THE BRITISH PRESS• !Juniata, though Iv certainly had another, which was genuine. Inquiry was ilea made at served miter houses in the trade, at many of which, it appears, he had practised precisely the saute im positions. Many other pavane were preemie to give evidence to a similar ef fect,if required ; but the 31agistrate seemed to think it advisable to let the case stand over, in miler that the trade might have a more general opportunity of tonntag Ecru/it'd, and pi:Than:, sonic new light might be thrown on the att . :dr its the internseehatc tune. The prisoner made no re.iiiirk whatever upon t h e evider.ce, and was reniar.ded for further examination. While the investigation wan going forward. a young man, of gen. teed appearance, came into the ohlee, and eagerly inquired the re. *ult. i•wing informed that !Duncan would, in all probability, be committed ter another examination, be rushed uutof the office, and, though pursued, effected his escape. It is understood that there is a v•vy considerable gang engaged in this traffic, and there is 110 doubt that the grcae •platotni a of counterfeit coin now in circulation, may be traria'. to the :ante tourer. Tits! Tamers Tr IlNr.D.—Vesterday War. Cribfint, one of the local conmultics of Somer. Town, appeared on a warrant to an swer the complaint of lcilliant liteson, of Stinr.er.street, Somers Tone. The complainant stated, that on Monday evening, as he and his friend, a I)yson, were a )))) iog thruugh the turn: ke at !tattle bridge, the colketor called out to them for the toll.

The coliseum then called out."

Mr. Parker, one of the trustees. who happened to be present, fully corroborated Crlston's statement, as to the driving and whip- pt , Mr. °Milan, the toll-collector, &rimed to the same effect, and tented that hie body and bhUllider: K CA: still sore, Imin the whip ping he had got. The warrant was then disrharged; and the compleinanta haring changed Maces with the defendant, by the Magistrate's order, were commended to find bail for this uminallelrd and most unprovoked assault. • --- Yesterday a yourg lady of a pretty, simpering manner, presented herself to the presiding Zil agiat rate, Al r. ltoc a its, and entreated his advice in an affair of the utmost moment to her peace.

A mitille-a:,•ed woman, very respectahlp dressed, and whose manner lipoke her to be a person superior to the situation which it subsequetly appeared she held In :mei: , e, came to the O ffi ce, and app lied for a warrant, undet the following estranrelinsry cis. con:stances. The dreadful appearance of the applicant shored that she had been the victim of some very unusual violerce; her head lay motionless upon one of her shoulder', and her neck and 11010111 were covered with bandages and plasters; her fuce Pre sented the appearance of one conumed mass ; her mouth drawn on one site, aid her eyes nearly closed by inflammation. She was supported into the Office leaning upon the onus of two respectable looking men, who her townrils the Bench, when she made the statement to Sir G. FA IRAN T, the Sitting ilagietrate, upon which she emended her applicetion for redrew.. She staled her name to be Susannah Altguilkin, • married wo man, whose husband was at present in the country ; she said that, elilion;;Is of a respectable family and connections, she has, from ad. verse circumstances, been fur some time obliged to fill the situation of cook in &Indica, and some months atm went into the service of Mr. Alattem, a grocer and oilman, residing at No. 55, Lower Orns venobetreet • she has frequently, since she has been in this service , being of rather a nervous habit, been very much alarmed by a pre& tire which Mr. Matte: pursued, of firing and lePieg off gunpow der and crackers all over the house ' for his amusement. On Tues day last Mr. :Batton had a party of friends to dine with him, and she. as usual, prepared the dinner ; and having sent it up to table, and arranged her kitchen, she commenced making up the kitchen fire, but the instant she thrust the poker into it, an explosion took place, of the most appalling nature; the whole contents of the grate were scattered upon her person, and abut the kitchen ; die place was in an install tilled with: make, which rendered It impassible to gee a F ad bdisre her, anti, in fact, the scene altrgether waste ter rific, that she senscless, and it was a wondee that she had not lost her I he, either by the fright or suffocation. As it was, however, she received such injuries, as it was not likely she should ever recover the elbete of ; she was di.figured In the shocking manner in which she appeared, and her breast and neck were burnt so dreadiully, that it would be difficult to describe the state they were in. She bad immediate recourse to unwind ad vise, but as the Gentleman she had consulted, and who had dressed her wounds, said that it would be impossible for bee to do any work for a long time, she wished to have the means afforded bet of re tiring into a private lodging, until site should be in some degree recovered; and fooling convinced that Mr. Menem was the author of the injuries she had sustained, she applied to him for a trilling allowance for her bilging and board, until she got batter, and to pay the expense of her surgeon f but he refused to do either, tent she eras compelled to apply to the Magistrate for some redress for the great injury inflicted upon her. t hie of the persons who accompanied the unfortunate applicant said, that he was her brother, that his name was Bradley, and that he held a cominiasion in his Majesty's army, in which he heel served for many years, and was now upon halbpay ; but he could not disown this poor woman (his sister) because adversity had placed her in en humble station—adversity nut arising front any fault or improper conduct on her part : he was therefore deter. mined to see justice done to her, and he waited ueon Mr. Mattson, and made to him what he considered by no means an extravagant proposal, namely, that he should allow the poor woman 10s. week iher hoard, and 'ft. or sa. for bey lodgings, until she recoverel, and to pay the expense of her surgeon, but Mr. :drum refused. The other person who e.ccompatileit the complainant said, that he was brother-in-law to the poor woman, and resided in the country upon his private pro) -rty ; he also made the same proposal, in vain, to Alr. Matter, as Captain Bradley did. Mr. Matter:: was accordingly sent for, and arrived at the office in a few minute.. After b3tlll. discussion, Sir G. F said, he thought the terms promreed to be accepted of, on the part of the poor woman, who certainly appeared to be in a deplorable state, were very reason. able, and he would advise Mr. Menem to accede to them. Mr. Marten said, he should not hesitate to tallow the Magis. (rates advice; and the parties left the office with the understand ing that tine poor woman was to have the allowance she asked for.

Bodkin applied to the Magistrate. for en outer to compel the Neigh Offieers of St. ha. vitiee's to grant an allowance to it poor Melanin, residing at Nu. 11, rerevel-lone. It appeared that the pone man, whose name was Darcey, had applied by letter to Mr. Canning for relief, elating that his two eliddren were jure dead, and his wife dying, of the small-pox. The, letter Mr. Canning sent to the Mendieity Society for investi gatitet, and on the Visitor going to their lodging, he found the wo man in the worst state of that dismee, and perfectly destitute.

Since that day no far ther not iee was taken of her. The Nl:tele:trete reprobated this grows neglect, and gave an order for fine shillings aewn:k, and that the surgeon should visit the poor simian iinniethately. Ile at the same time told the overseer, in a decided tone, that because a pauper was Irish, he was nut to be deputed the benefit of the law. It was etre. nained that the poor man had just parted with his last pawnbroker's ticket to a 'bilk-memo. him a little milk fur his wife, who wu ad c,,tailay have perrebed but for the interference of the Society. !'art,, John Pardue, and rdward Iber;rll, three men belonging to a tiering gatig of burglars, who have committed various rolibethe in the counties of Kent and Surrey, were placed at the bar for a reeead exiiminetien. In additiou to the ca. s already given in evidence against the pri tonere, the following was Liken yesterday t Catherine Mockers, lendludy at the Horns nublic.lutese„ at Nev. le e red, stated, that on the might of the 29th of September she fennel to bed, after having sauced the bar, &c.

Chit ke and iloti. the Caretables„ who apprehended the prisoner!, stated, that they took the prieoners into eitstody in Ctiet Smithfield. On searching the house in which they lived, they found the pen. knife spoken of by the last witness, secreted in a cupboard there The Officers added, that the gang to which these men belonged heti a house in ll'alsorth, in which all their robberies were planned, without the risk of being overheard. The three pri !otters were convadered the most experienced and daring of the whole gang. The Magistrates. in committing the priennen for trial, directed all the officers to hook sha.ply after the rest of the prisoners come pan ions. Snow, the constable, said, that since the apprelieneine of the mi. annere, the gang appeared to have considerably broke') up in that quarter. BURGLARIES IN TUE CITY. Two young men, named diorite and Cook, were examined be. fore the Lord Mayor, at the 31ansion /louse, yesterday, upon charges of burglary. For some time past the city has been unusually free from depre &dons of this nature, hut all at once warehouses and d IMPIe4 have been broken open. With respect to Cook, a watchman belonging to Bishopepte Ward deposed, that very late on Sunday night last, as be was go ing his rounds, he observed a man standing near the house of Mr. Stott, the oilman, of Bishopsgateedeet. On witness's approach, he reeled about, and pretended to be very drunk, but when witness walked op close to him, he suddenly took to his heels, and lied with astonishing rapidity. Witness, on looking about, observed the flap of 31r. States cellar raised, and at the same moment the prisoner, Cook, put his head out, but witness drove him back, and then jumped upon the flap, and called for assistance. He after wards found Cook concealed in a corner of the cellar. A great num ber of picklock keys, and other burglarious apparatus, were found upon the premises. Cook, in his defence, declared that he was going beam early on Sunday morning, and in passing through Bishopsgate-street, he fell through the trap-door, which doubtless some bed character had pulled open, and left so. He wee trying to get out of this dia. agreeable situation, when the watchman walked up, and villanously shut him down until others came to his aid, and then the story of robbery was made out, aid he was brought to the watchhouse housebreaker. The prisoner, after this account of the business, gave an address, and very confidently spoke of his respectability, and the prophet it ; but the officers were told upon inquiry, that no such person re sided in the neighbourhood. The Lord Mayor told the prisoner, Cook, that a Jury mart judge of the probability of the truth of the story ; but be apprehended they would account Mr the occurrence in some other way. Cook was fully committed. Martin was examined finally on a charge of breaking into the house of Messrs. Hobson and Ca, stationers, of Tower-street. The prisoner had been seized by a soldier as he was runuingliom a bulk which was before Mr. Robsotes shop window. A hole lied been made in the partiti,m between the bulk and tho shop, end • vast number of housebreaking implements were toped in the bulk. Two other men, who had, it was believed, been In the bulk, escaped. After the prisoner's apprehension, his lodgings were searched, and a quantity of stamps and stationery was foetid there. This property was identified by Mr. Whitaker, of Waibrook, is having been stolen from hh warehouse, which was broken open a abort time ago. The strong box had been broken open, but it ha moed to contain bat little cash. Collins, the beadle, got into the impose at the top, but did not succeed in apprehending the thieves. The soldier who apprehended the prisoner had a desperate we. Ilia with hint, for Martin was determined to make a last effort, and both of these were rolling in the mud when eminence arrived. The soldier had pounced upon the prisoner, equally determined not to be disappointed, The soldier appeared to give evidence under arrest. He had been unable to account satiweetiwily for his long absence, on the night of the burglary, to the Captain of his company, and upon appearing at the guard-room, after his exertions, was put under immediate arrest. The boot Mayor said he regretted extremely to see a man who had behaved so well on the Ilralgital of the burglary under arrest. lie requested that the sergeant would state to the Commending Officer the nature of die services rendered by the soldier, and that in all probability his absenee was caused by the part which he had taken on an occasion of such importance. The Sergeant said he had nothing to do but to take care of his prisoner. lie also observed, that bit prisoner had absented him self upon Griner occasions, and lagged that the Lord Mayor would himself apply to the Commanding Officer upon the subject. The prisoner said nothing, and was fully committal for the two burglaries. The prisoner has, since his coefinement, given a history of the hue burglaries in the City. lie has been for some time connected with a desperate gang of housebreakers, and has, within one year, been concerned in no less than nineteen burglaries. On I , OIIIC of the occasions he said the thieves obtained some booty, but nowhere to a great amount. Thepollce regulations of the City often bathed their plans. It is feared that the primmer's disclosure, though very onuinete, will be of little service against the parties implicated. During the csarnination, at wit eh many of the prisoner's friends were present, a snuff-box was stolen trust a gentleman's pocket in the Justiee-mum. On the preceding day the pocket of another person was picked of a handkerchief, while the Lord Mayor was adnioniiihtog some culprits. SINGULAII C.ISE• If ROM A titItIIESIrOSDENT.] The following singular OCCUITVICP, which heppened a few days since in the neighbourhood of Woodford, has cached a very con siderable sensation them : Elizabeth Cave, an interesting young woman, about 19 years of are, who lived in the service of Fu ll est, E N . a gentle man residing at Woodford, fe cotisctitience of getting her feet wet, caught a severe cold, which brought on a fever. She was confined to her bed arrival days, when site, to all appearance, died. An un dertaker was sent for, and the next day she was placed in a coffin, and the intelligence of her supposeti death conveyed to her anther, an industrious woman, with a large family, who was almost broken-hearted at the melancholy tidings. From her good conduct while in the veryice of Mr. F. That gentleman had resolved to de fray the extremes of the funeral, which was arranged should take place on Sunday last, a week afer her supposed death. On that day her mother, and several other relatives, came to pay the last tribute of respect to her memory. and previous to the co ff in being screwed down, went to take a last " lung lingering look" at the body, when one of them observed she had not undergone the change usual oa such occasion., and that her face appeared rather &abed. He suggested the. propriety of sending for a surgeon, which was linrnediatelt done, who ordered her to be placed in a warm bath, and applied the remedies usually resorted to to recover pawns apparently drowned, and which were happily crowned with eaaplete same% as the young woman was so far recovered in a few hours, as to be able to speak, and is Dow is a fair way are. wary. lint for this disarray, so timely made her relative, this young womb would have been consigned to all the horrors of penman Waimea. The ansitsr with which her friends wit nessed tbe progress of the means tamed a for her restoration, sad - Abair • at be oarases, nay be Pore waslW conceived than dc,.. MR. GRAHAM AND HIS BALLOON. When it was ascertained by Mr. ;rah= on Tuesday l ast that the balloon did not contain suffieient ascending p ews ., to bear himself, or even Mr. Adams , his friend , into th e aerial regions, although a fresh supply of gas had been ob. tained from the works at Brentiord, in addition to th e im mense quantity that Lad been forced into the machine oe Monday, Mr. Graham himself came forward and announced to the assembly that it would lie impossible for him to make an asteussion, the atmospheric air with which the balloon was inflated not being sufficient for th e coy age, and that the wind was so strong that it would be exttemely dangerous fur him to veisture to leave teem firma, but :Isar if the persons present would ext en d then. kindness to hint, and wait till to-morrow (yesterday) la: wim be the coos gratify Ytheir curiosity uncee by ...fter repeaus: assurances making • his aseeu s i on , l et f w ret a n il f gra r ti would ials t am, and his friends, that the fault did not rent with hint, the multitude quietly dialers's% resolved to await the event of the morrow. Yesterday a report was prevalent in town, that the balloon was brought to Mr. Graham's residence in Poiand street, and that be had gone the preceding night to Can_ terbury, and that the public were completely gelhil of their half-crowns, it not being his intention to ascend. We proceeded to Ilainniersmith in the forenoon, to ascertain the true state of things; and when arrived et the Windsor Cattle, we found a vast number of the dupes as _ sembled inside and out, cursing and swearing at Gralues., for having brought them out of town the ec days in the week, to hoax them and do them out of their half-crowns. On pin; into the grounds we found nothing but the stage left behind ; the helicon, we were told (after a promise had be n made to ascend yesterday), had, about six o'clock on Tue.flao evening, been emptied of what gas it contained, and aj carefully folded up and deposited in a room in the Castle. When this fact was generally known, the persons assem bled became very impetuous, and all imp tired for 11r. Graham, but of course he had made himself scarce, sad had left poor ilaylcy, the landlord, to face the torrent.— " Give me back my half-crown," was the general cry—ss can't," replied the landlord. " I'll be el—el if I don't gas to Justice llanson," was the reply, but whether or en: any of the gulls went milk worship, we cannot say. .1; length the following written notice was stuck up in sexual parts of the ground : •• Mr. Graham respectfully informs the imbiber, gentry. sel inhabitants of Hammersmith, that the real cause of his not ascnii. ing was in consequence of his not having a sufficient 'imply si gas s but everything being in readiness, he is ready to go immt. (timely he can procure a proper supply. He assures them, tlut notwithstanding he has incur:vd a low, that no expense on his p. shall be wanting to complete the ascent no qiikk as possible." This in some measure pacified the mob, and they wet peaceably to their homes. Mr. Graham accounts for the non-ascent, in consequcce of the distance (three miles) being too great fur the gas to be brought, and stated, that in forcing it, it had strained the joints of the main pipes, which were only secured with white lead, and the gas evaporated in large quantities, so that sufficient could not be introduced into the balluou amount to the ascending power-20,000 cubic feet. Ile admits that e2l. was taken at the doors, 201. of which be paid the gas company ; and he says he is at least 161. oc: of pocket by the affair. No time is fixed for the ascent.
