MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocx. Continued quietude is apparent in the general discount market, where there is still an abundant supply of capital, and a comparatively limited de mand.

Craven, in two acts, entitled " The Post-Boy," was produced with perfect success at this theatre last night; and certainly owed much of its success to the very admirable manner in ( which Mr. J. Rogers performed a p art essentially serious 20 and pathetic, if not tragic — that of an old p ost-bo y , whose sattgej granddaughter he supposes has been seduced and aban- f cloned by a man of fortune. Mr. Rogors's acting will greatly 2 ' enlarge his reputation and elevate h im in the p ublic esti - stoe, stoei There is an element of farce introduced in the p ersons of :rocel a vulgar footman, who afterwards assumes the dress and stoel manners of a Frenchman, and a French la d y' s maid, p la y ed stool humorously by Mr. H.

I stoi 51 The strike amongst the hands employed in the ' , furious cotton mills in Huddersfield is unhappily „ otn the increase. The strike resulted primarily from at an objection entertained on the part of several of s ' the masters in the locality to employ those hands 'who had formed an alliance with the Oldham t Uiaion, a society which has only lately begun to exercise its influence in this neighbourhood. Delegates from Oldham and other parts of Lanca- st shire have attended the meetings of the opera- st tives employed in the various mills, and the con- st, duct of the masters and the relative position of st; the men have been freely discussed, the result of se which has been that m an y of the operatives sst have left their employ without notice, and litiga tion on both sides has been resorted to in conse- :I quence. For several days duri n g the p ast week the at; ( mills at which hands are still in employ have been at( sur r o u nded by the " turnouts , " an d the p olice have st' used special efforts to prevent any breach of the at( peace by having an extra force in the affected 2 0 : localities ; but throughout the dispute the conduct of the men generally has been of the most orderly character ; there has been nothing calling for police at, interference. Tuesday being market-day, the hands out of employ paraded the streets in procession, sti bearing placards, upon which the words, "The rights of labour," were conspicuously set forth in . 1 large type. During the busiest portion of the day sty they paraded in front of the Cloth Hall, and through at( the principal streets of the town for two or three at( hours, in order to enlist the sympathies of the in- at( habitants. About one o'clock they returned quietly to st( the club-house. The procession consisted of both men, : t i !, women, and children, the women taking the lead. st( Throughout the route they were most quiet and orderly, and no demonstration, beyond a few hisses, when some of the masters made their appearance, at( was made. The masters very liberally offered, at a st ! meeting on Monday evening, to reimburse the Old ham Union, to the extent of one-half the amount they have paid to the men since they have been out on strike, on condition that the men would relin quish their connection with the Oldham Union, at( and, if th e y considered it necessary, from all union on pure and independent grounds. Whether or s . t t : not this proposition has been favourably enter- tained, we are not as yet in a position to state; but we belie ve th e men are not incline d to g ive way. ' Already one mill is entirely stopped, and several it, st, others are only partially employed. at EXPLOSION OF A LOCOMOTIVE ENGINE, AND LOSS or Two LIVES (THIS DAY).—A few minutes before _ nnmirrna af.4hn Metropolitan Railway works, by which an engine• driver s and a stoker in the employ of Messrs. Jay, the contractors, were killed, and a number of persons seriously injured. The engine was standing at the entrance to the tunnel in Maiden-lane, when in an instant it burst and scattered destruction all around. The buffers were torn off like matehwood, the driving wheels forced from their axles, and the w h ole eng i ne, a very exce ll e nt one, was smashed to piece s . The poor engine-driver was dashed to a mummy, and the stoker thrown high in the air and killed instanta neously. The foreman of the works was also much injured. The shock was heard over the whole of the northern part of the metropolis. It is stated to be the intention of the Unitarians of England to present Sir J. Bowring with a Bible, on the occasion of his marriage Tuesday next, in acknowledg ment of the services h e has 5 ... rendered His Excellency the a ~f £loo o ord-Lieutenant of Ireland has offered a reward for such information as shall imer!ck. lead to the arrest of the person or persons who murdered the late Alderman Sheehy, r f u L to the total The Liverpool Town' Council, towni at their meeting yesterday instructed. the powers to prepare notices for town to carry out improveapproaches n, and in some of the crowded thoroughfares, at a 160,000. cost of from £50,000 to THE GREENWICH WATERMEN d• AND THE LORD e ispute between the MA:Yoa ELECT.—The lon body of Greenwich watermen who right of ferry from the Isle of .

THE LATE ACCIDENT ON T HE RAILWAT WORIic YEAR DOVER.—The adjourned inquest on the bodies of the three men who lost their lives last Tuesday week, by th e falling of the bridge at Ewell, near Dove M r, was resumed yesterday morning. In the meantime, r. Vincent, of Canterbury, had, by the directions of the coroner, made a professional survey of the bridge. Mr. -Warder, from the office of Messrs. Freshfield, the company's solicitors, at. tended to watch the proceedings. Some further evidence having been taken the jury retired for about au how l , and then announced that they I liad acri•a d upon a verdict of ae• eidental death, and suggested tat the com pany should be more careful in builcliAg such bridges in wet weAther.

Athlete THE BRIBER,Y COMMISSION. The commissioners re-assembled this morning in the Committee-room No. 10, House of Commons. The first witness examined was William Gall, who took a very prominent part in the election with regard to which the present inquiry was instituted. He admitted having received money from Captain Gordon for distribu tion among the poor, but not for the purpose of bribing the electors. lie had received a large sum from Captain Gordon on one occasion. He recollected having upwards of £5OO. The chairman then went through the list of voter: , on the occasion, and asked the witness to signify those who had received money from him out of that sum. M'Gall, when the list had been gone through, ac counted for about £lO, when the Chairman informed him that it would be absolutely necessary for him to furnish the Commissioners with the names of the parties who had re ceived the greater part of the money, as it appeared to him to be perfectly impossible that he (M'Gall) could have for gotten the names of all the parties to whom he had paid money with the exception of the £lO he had accounted for. The Commissioners would insist that by to-morrow morn ing the list might be forthcoming. The whole of the money it was not expected could now be accounted for, but at all events the greater part he thought the witness could account for if he felt so disposed, and under such circumstances it was imperative that the directions of Commissioners should be obeyed. The examination of the witness was then proceeded with. lie said he had never, previous to the election of 1859, given bribes to any of the electors, freemen or non-freemen. After some other questions had been answered by the witness all bearing on the distribution of money, the com mittee adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(TILIS Dill.) TRH CO/LING "FIFTIL or NOVNIIBER."—A boy named George Tracey was charged before Mr. Beadon with dis charging fireworks in the public streets, to the danger of the passengers. A constable, 53 E, proved seeing the boy, who was in company of several others, discharge some fireworks in the neighbourhood of Tottenham-court-road, and then took him into custody. It may be stated that the nuisance is nightly increasing, Inspector Garforth s of the E division, stating that on the previous evening a person complained to him of a boy having thrown a lighted squib into a room, the window of which had been left open. _ Mr. Beadon said he would not permit fireworks to be discharged in the streets. The sth of November was coming, and if persons were brought before him ho would fine them heavily. The religious distinctions were fast being put an end to, and very properly so ; and in his dis trict, at all events, he would try and stop it. He would discharge him this time, but he would caution him not to discharge fireworks again. METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

His lordship was in his 85th year. The venerable nobleman retained all his faculties to the last. It will be in the recollection of many of our readers that his lordship, though in advanced . , years, underwent a painful operation for the stone, from which, by the skilful treatment of his medical attendants, and a naturally vigorous constitution, he had completely recovered. On Tuesday after noon at half-past five o'clock he was suddenly at tacked with alarming illness, and at one a.m. yes terday he expired. Owing to the suddenness of the attack several members of his family were unable to have the consolation of being present at his dissolution. The following biographical notice of the de ceased nobleman is from Men of our Time : Thomas Cochrane Dundonald, tenth Earl of Dundonald, better known as Lord Cochrane, was born Dec. 14, 1775, and when only five years of age, his name was entered on the books of the Vesuvius, bomb, commanded by his uncle, Captain Cochrane, who transferred it successively to the Carolina and Sophie, He did not go to sea till the 27th June, 1793, when he embarked with his re lative in the Hind, of 28 guns. Previously to this he had been gazBtted to a captaincy in the 79th Foot, but had not joined his regiment. On the 17th May, 1795, when acting-lieutenant of the Thetis, 42, commanded by his uncle, he con tributed, with the Hussar, of 28 guns, to the de feat, on the coast of North America, of a French squadron of five sail, two of which were captured. His confirmation to the Thetis took place May 24, 1796, and he subsequently joined, after serving in various ships, the Queen Charlotte, flag-ship, in the Mediterranean, of Admiral Lord Keith. On December 21st, 1799, he was sent from Gib raltar Bay in command of the boats of the Queen Charlotte and the Emerald frigate, to relieve the Lady Nelson cutter, then surrounded and attacked, off Cabritta Point, by several French privateers and Spanish gunboats, some of which he pursued and boarded with the most undaunted gallantry, chasing others under the very cannon of the harbour. On the capture, Feb, 18, 1800, of the French 74, Le Genereux, he was appointed her acting captain; but on 28th March following he was promoted to be Master and Commander of the Speedy, sloop of-war, of 16 guns and 54 men ; and in the ten succeeding months he took 33 vessels, carrying, in all, 128 guns, and. 533 men, besides assisting at the capture of many others. For one of these, the seizure by boarding of the Spanish frigate El Gamo, 32 guns, off Barcelona, on the 6th of May, 1801, he received his commission as post captain, dated August Bth following. He succeeded in cutting out a Spanish convoy at Oroposo, lying under the protection of a strong battery and numerous gunboats. On the 3d July, however, the Speedy was herself captured by the French squadron under Admiral Linois. On this occasion Lord Cochrane's courage had been so conspicuous that, on presenting his sword to the captain of the French 74, Dessaix, it was returned to him, with the request that he would continue to wear what he had so nobly used. On the 6th of the same month he was on board the French squa dron when attacked by Sir J. Saumarez in Algesiras Bay, and being soon afterwards exchanged he re turned to England, and went on half-pay. On the sth of October he was appointed to the Arab, 22 guns, from which ship, after serving at the blockade of Boulogne, he removed on the 3d Dec., 1804, to the Pallas frigate, 32, in which in the fol lowing year he was sent out with despatches to his uncle Admiral Sir A. Cochrane, at that time em ployed in the blockade of Ferrol. Whilst cruising off the Spanish coast in March, 1405, he made a considerable number of prizes, amongst which was the Fortuna, from Rio de la Plata to Corunna, with specie to the amount of £150,000 sterling, besides a considerable quantity of merchandise, but he gene rously returned 10,000 crowns to the Spanish cap tain and supercargo. Early in April, 1806, the Pallas was employed in the Gironde, a river very difficult of navigation ; and on this service he suc ceeded in cutting out the Tapagense corvette of 14 long 12 pounders and 95 men, and notwithstanding she lay 20 miles above the Cordovan shoal, under the protection of two heavy batteries. In the fol lowing month, with the marines and boats' crews, he destroyed the semaphores along the French coast, and bore off the signal flags. The bat tery at Point d'Equilon he carried by storm and laid in ruins, spiking the guns, burning the car riages, blowing up the barrack and magazine, and throwing all the shells into the sea. On the 23d of August he assumed the command of the Impe rieuse, 44 guns, and between the 13th of Decem ber, 1806, and the 7th of January, 1807, some days short of a month, he took and destroyed fifteen of the enemy's ships, chiefly laden with wine and provisions. He was afterwards sent to co-operate with the patriots on the coast of Catalonia, and on the 21st of July, 1808, he compelled the sur render of the castle of Mongat, by which the road to Gerona, then besieged by the French, had been completely commanded. In September he re newed his operations against the semaphores, on the coast of Languedoc, and blew up the newly construsted semaphoric telegraph at Bourdique, La Pimede, St. Maguire, Frontignan, Cault, and Foy, with the houses attached to them, fourteen barracks of the gendarmes, a battery, and the strong tower upon the Lake of Frontignan. In 1809 he volunteered for the defence of Trinidad Castle, attached to the fortress of Rosas on the coast of Catalonia, then besieged by the French. At the head of 80 of his own men, and about an equal number of the Spaniards, he repelled 1,000 of the enemy in an assault on the castle. He protracted the siege for twelve days, but oft the citadel capitulating he blew up the magazine of Trinidad Castle, and retired to his ship. In April, 1809, he was selected by the First Lord of the Ad miralty, from his daring intrepidity, to command a fleet of fire-ships intended for the destruction of the French fleet then lying at anchor, and blockaded by Lord Gambier, in the Basque Roads. On the night of the 11th of that month he went on board one of the explosion ships containing 1,500 barrels of gunpowder, and performed the hazardous service confided to him most effectually. For his signal gallantry on this occasion he re ceived the Knighthood of the Bath. He had been chosen M.P. first for Honiton, and afterwards, in 1807, for Westminster, and as he intimated his intention to oppose the vote of thanks proposed by the Government to Lord Gambier, who had the chief command in the Basque Roads affair, that nobleman was subjected to a court-martial, but acquitted. In the early part of 1814 Lord Coch rane fell into the snare of some designing knaves and was charged with fraudulent designs on the Stock Exchange. The fraud in which he was said to haye been implicated was committed by a rascal named Random de Berenger, who contrived that, on February 22, an express should be sent from Dover with the information that a French officer had arrived announcing the death of the Emperor Napoleon by assasination. The funds rose nearly 10 per cent. in consequence of the false news. The fraudulent speculators anticipated to rea lise a considerable amount by their ne farious conduct ; but they were disappointed in their evil gain, as all bargains on that account were nulliieel.

He succeeded his father as Earl Dundonald in 1841, and became Vice• Admiral of the Blue, Nov. 23, 1841. He was appointed Commander-in-Chief on the North American and West Indian Station in 1848. In 1851 he became Vice-Admiral of the White, and in 1854 Rear-Admiral of the United Kingdom. Be sides his other honours he was a baronet of Scot land and Nova Scotia of 1671 ; G.C.8., 1847; Grand Gross of the Imperial Brazilian Order of the Cruzero ; Knight of the Royal Order of the Re deemer of Greece, and of tha Order of Merit of Chili. He enjoyed a high reputation for his scien tific attainments, and was the author of a pamphlet entitled " Observations on Naval Affairs," in which he inserted a summary of his naval services and ex posed several acts of injustice which he had experi enced in the performance of his duty. He long ago invented a project for blowing up and annihilating fleets, which was submitted to the Government ; and it is said that it was go overwhelmingly destructive that, at the personal request of George IV., he not only abstained from asing it, but pledged his honour to his Majesty that he would never use it without the sanction of the Crown. He is understood to have suggested seve ral valuable hints for the improvement of our steam navy. TO those desirous of a more detailed record of his career we refer them to " The Autobiography of a Seaman," the first volume of which, from the pen of the noble admiral, has been published, and the second and concluding volume has been announced as " nearly ready." In 1856 the lamented admiral was elected an elder brother of the Trinity House; was restored in 1847 among the knights of the Order of the Bath, being reappointed 22d May that year a Grand Cross of that most honourable institution of knight hood. For his eminent services abroad he was decorated a Grand Cross of the Order of the Crusero of Brazil, a Knight of the Saviour of Greece, and of Merit of Chili. The late admiral's commission bore date as follows :—Lieutenant, May 24, 1796 ; commander, March 28, 1800; captain, August 8, 1801; rear admiral, May 2, 1832 ; vice admiral, November 23, 1841; and admiral, March 21, 1851, and was rear admiral of the United Kingdom. The late earl of Dundonald succeeded to the ancient honours of his house on the death of his father, who died in his 84th year, in 1831. The late earl married Bth August, 1812, Katherine Frances Corbett, daughter of the late Mr. Thomas Barnes, and leaves surviving issue by her ladyship, who survives her husband, four sons and a daughter, namely, Thomas Barnes, Lord Cochrane (now the Earl of Dundonald), born 18th April, 1814, and married Ist December, 1847, to Louisa Harriet, daughter of Mr. Wm. Alexander Mackinnon, MT., formerly in the 2d foot ; Hon. Horace Bernard William, born in 1818, and married to Frances Jacobina, only daughter of the late Alexander Nicholson ; Captain the Hon. Arthur Auckland, R N., C. 8., born in 1824 ; Lieutenant the Hon.

Great Britain has lost the last of her ancien, Sea-kings. The paragon of the British navy ix Its heroic age, the brilliant rival in desperate service and dauntless exploit of Nelson himself, the cyno sure of Nelson's bravest captains—Thomas Coch rane, Earl of Dundonald, is gone, in the fuhiess of years and honours, to rejoin the company of his departed countrymen and comrades. In the peace ful quiet of his English home, this illustrious cap tain, whose name was the terror of the enemy's coasts, and a legend in every sea from the sun rise to the sunset, when as yet our grand fathers were boys, sinks at last into weliwon repose. When the present century was only dawning, young Cochrane was doing deeds by sea and land which will be remembered as long as Europe has a history. From his lyiy hood he pursued death and glory with all the eager passion of a lover. The flag of his country was his lodestar, and, by day and night, througu battle and tempest, through the iron hail of the enemy's guns, he watched over its stainless glory with unsleeping jealousy and insatiable devotion. The name of Cochrane is to this hour, and must ever be, a living and speaking memory and tradi tion in the noblest national service in the world. From 1793 to 1814 it was the astonishment and ad miration of all the gallant enemies of England. " Not even the British Navy could do it," is a saying which the career of Cochrane might have justified, if a Blake and a Nelson had never lived. Nowhere, we believe, is this great name more honoured, nowhere will the news of this death be receiv ed with a thrill of more generous emotion, than among the gallant countrymen of Linois and Dessaix. For as all the world is the tomb of heroes, so among the brave even an " enemy" is cherished as a comrade when tlx battle's done. The scroll of Lord Dundonald's services is nothing more nor less than the naval history of that " war of giants." In the Channel, in the Mediterranean, in the Bay of Biscay, in the Atlantic his energy and activity were übiquitous and incessant, and fortune favoured his audacity. But his daring did not surpass his genius.

It is painful to Englishmen of all parties, though the shame belongs to the Tot leg, to reflect that this British hero and worthy, whose loss we are now deploring, was once branded by his Government, deprived of all his hard-earned honours, expelled from the House of Commons, ai d obliged to break out of prison to take his scat for Westminster. To his dying day he never forgot those liberal electors of Westminster ; and in the dedication of his autobiography he identifies his name for ever with their patriotic suffrages. conscience The Liberal party has not upon its .n.O the reproach of having driven Lord CochTanme pint_ exile.

His name was likewise removed from the Nary List. Lord Coch rane declined to come forward previously to the general election in 1818, having accepted the com mand of the naval force of the then new republic of Chili. Having become " a sailor of fortune," it was to be expected that by " deeds of daring" he would maintain that reputation he had gained in the service of his country, and which none of the most bitter of his personal enemies could, in their malice, deprive him of. He took the com mand of the navy of the new state of Chili, and by his exertions and achievements finally secured the independence of that republic. .His cutting out of the Esmeralda, a large 40-gun frigate, on the sth of November, 1823, from under the guns of the castle of Callao, was one of the most daring, as well as the most celebrated of his exploits. Subsequently, he was, by the Emperor Don Pedro, appointed to the command of the Brazilian fleet, and in 1823 was by that monarch created Marquis of Maranham. His lordship next gave his services to Greece, and was employed in that country from 1827 to 1828. the triumph of liberal principles at home restored him to his country, and to the service he had covered with glory. Nut with the best grace, but by inter mittent fits of tardy repentance, the men in power atoned for the injuries which ti, eir predecessors had inflicted. For 13 years tie victim of party rancour has survived the wounds of calumny and injustice. His latest years were devoted to his country, and to the interests of the service he loved so well. Genius, science, experience, he freely and faithfully devoted to naval questions ; and at the age of more than four-score years the latest theories of gunnery or " reconstruction" were discussed by him with all the buoyant zeal and far-sighted shrewdness of early years. It is a happy thought that he had finished the second volume of an Autobiography which ought to. be a classic in every English library afloat and ashore. He leaves us at a time when the Navy is undergoing a tranformation which has yet to be tested. But of this we may be certain—no transformation of materials can dis pense with Nelsons or Cochranes, or replace them. No substitution of steam for sails, of 10 inch guns for carronades, can ever persuade British seamen to play at long bowls when they can come to clone quarters. L et us b ear w i tness, t h en , in the face of the world, by the honours we pay to our national Captain, that his spirit still breathes and . burns in every seaman that serves under the British flag, and in every Englishman who love sacred and eternal cause of liberty which counts among its heroes a Cochrane, a Charles James Napier, and a Garibaldi—kinsmen in courage, in suffering, and in genius. DEPORTED DEA MA TH RIO. OF .ALBE_RTO Yesterday we noticed the rumo ur current in Newcastle that our brave young townsman, Mr. Alfred Gorringe, had fallen in the first encounter. of the British Brigade before Capua ; to-day we learn, by private letters from Naples, that Signor Alberto Mario, the husband of Madame Jessie White Mario, has also been killed. He was sent by Garibaldi, at the head of a column of one thou. sand men, to put down a reactionary movement in Molise. The patriots were overpowered and cut to pieces by a body of Neapolitan soldiers six times their number. Only forty out of the thousand are reported as being saved, and in that number Mario's name does not occur. The encounter is said to have been tremendous, the Garibaldians having fought like lions, and against desperate odds. Signor Mario was a member of a, very old Vene tian family who have lived on the same estates for centuries, and have suffered severely from time to time by the persecutions of the Austrians. He was a barrister by profession, but in the siege of Venice in 1848 and 1849 he fought under Manin. Although he entered the service as a common soldier his skill and courage soon raised him to a superior command After the fall of Venice he retired to Genoa, where he supported himself by writing for the liberal news papers and by teaching. In 1856 and 1857 he took an active part in organising the expedition which, under the brave Pisacane and Nicotera, sailed for Naples on board the Cagliari. For his complicity in this matter he was driven from Genoa by the Sardinian Government. For a short time he resided in Switzerland, and then came to Eng land, where he lived for some months, and then, in company with his wife, went to America. He returned to this country in the beginning of last year, when he and Madame Mario went to Italy. The Sardinian Government refused to allow either of them to remain, and after having suffered a short imprisonment as suspects, they were re leased by the urgent entreaties of Garibaldi, and allowed to go again to Switzerland. They lived there till the expedition to Sicily, in April last , when Mario and his wife joined Garibaldi. The former took the charge of the military school, organised by the Dictator in Palermo, while the latter superintended the hospitals. When Gari baldi landed in Calabria, Mario was one of his staff, and in that capacity continued till he was sent on the fatal expedition which we have men , tioned. Mario was about 32 or 33 years of age, active, and of a fine soldierly appearance. He was an ardent republican, and a devoted follower of Maz zini. His literary attainments were considerable, and he was a regular contributor to many of the first-class continental magazines and reviews. Garibaldi had a strong personal attachment to and he was one of the few men to whom the Dictator was understood to be at all communicative respecting his military or political projects. lie was in the neighbourhood of Newcastle for some rime, along with his wife,in the spring of 1858, and his untimely death will be a source of great regret to the many friends he made while here. Madame Mario follows the camp of the Gari baldians, and has the chief command of all the hos pital arrangements. Her energy and good lieartedness have won her troops of friends, even amongst the partisans of Carour, who look with horror on her political opinions. Shs was married shortly after her release from prison in Genoa, in 1857.—Netecastle Chronicle. DEFENCE OF PORTSMOUTH. TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—Vice-Admiral Sir G. Sartorius, in his letter to the Times of the 24th inst., exactly reverses the views of the late sub-committee, which he errone ously styles the sub-committee on " National De fences," and he mistakes " what the Government wished to know from them." He implies that " a recommendation was made that a complicated work of booms, chains, nets, and innumerable anchors should be spread over so large a space as Spithead at a cost of £500,000, like a net for catching tunny fish ;" and he expatiates on the difficulty of keeping all this cumbrous compli cation in working order in winter and storm, and on the enormous inconvenience of embarrassing this important roadstead with all this mass of materials. So far were the committee from recommending anything of the kind for even the passag es to Spit head, that after dwelling on the enormous cost of floating barrier between the Horse and Land shoals, to enable it to withstand weather to which it would be subjectiel4 that at high water there would passage of sufficient depth for between each of the shoals and would render the barrier useless; their report states that such caciously employed for passages and exposure to t sheamesreetmadoep e dy r a i . a u g s tah s i ne a the t N h so e t y r' e s sa t 6 an of e f stlar 'be a broad, largest vessels the land, which useless; subsequently barriers might be efli es of moderate breadth Y : t t s t s e : h — n o t t i_o p n ro o o f f t y h o e ssels commit "ltAgain, Sir G. cou w l o d ul h d o seems to have frseamo kiud of vessels.
