ItiONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The dealings in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days have not been Very extensive, although a slight improvement was apparent upon the announcement of the reduction in the rate of discount by the Bank of England. Soggars have slightly improved in value. For coffee a moderate inquiry has prevailed in the private market, but no public sales of importance have taken place, and prices have been steady. Rice and spices have been in limited request and at reduced rates. A seasonable business has been done in fruit, and owing to the smallness of the stocks of raisins prices have shown an upward tendency. The public sales of colonial wool have been well attended, and previous prices fully main tained. The tallow market, however, has been depref;sed, and prices have declined 6d. to 9d. per evrt. ; P.Y.O on the spot being 60s. 6d. per cwt. A better feeling prevailed in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday owing to the announcement that the Bank of England had reduced the rate of dis count, and prices improved about id. per lb. The sales amounted to 10,000 bales. Notice has been given that 38 Danish 5 per cent. special bonds, amounting to £5,500, have been drawn and cancelled. A meeting has been called of the London Char tered Bank of Australia for the purpose of declaring dividend, and to consider a recommendation for the issue of new shares for the remaining portion of the capital authorised by the charter. The Atlantio has arrived from New York with £16,000 in specie. O perations in the discount market having been suspended until the decision of the Bank of Eng land. Directors was announced, the market is now rather more active, but it still exhibits a tendency tow ards increasing easiness, choice bills having beela negotiated as low as 41 per cent. The American exchange excites some anxiety, but it is Scarcely supposed that any large exportation of gold. will take place from this country. It appears that the magisterial interference with the street-vendors of fruit has already been unfa- N'eu rably felt by the importers, and active steps are being taken to put an end to the needless psraecution lately adopted at the Mansion House. The Market for Public Securities opened steadily, but later advices from America reporting increased strimgency in monetary circles have caused renewed Ratness. Consols, which have been 931 4, are now 93 1 1. The American exchange and the expected flow - of gold now engage attention, and it is stated that: a large number of sovereigns have been obtedned to-day for transmission to New York. The New Threes and the Reduced are steady at 91} 2 ; and Exchequer Bills at 4s. to ls. dis. ; India Loan is firm at 103 f ; and ditto 5 per Cent. Rupee Paper at 102. Foreign Securities have been dealt in to a mode rate extent, but prices show a downward tendency. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 73 to 73k ; ditto New, 58 Spanish have receded to 491 ; Mexican to 2 4; but Brazilian 4k per Cents. remain at 89 /.; and Chilian are firm at 102 i. Business in the Railway Share Market continued raoclerately active, and prices, in most instances, showed a farther improvement. Bristol and Exeter and South Eastern improved ss. ; Great Western and North Eastern, Berwick, 10s. ; and Lancashire and Yorkshire, and North Eastern, York, 15s. Caledonian receded 10s., and Midlands, ss. to 10s. The Foreign undertakings were almost neglected, no change of importance being apparent in prices. At the meeting of the Trust and Loan Company of Upper Canada, to-day, the report was adopted, and the proposed dividend at the rate of 81 per cent. per annum was declared. In the Colonial Market, Grand Trunk of Canada, Great Western of Canada, East Indian, and Great Indian Peninsula realised previous rates. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares were flat. London and Westminster, however, improved 55.; and Chartered of India, Australia, and China, ss. Peninsula and Oriental Steam declined about £2. BRITISH F UND:73—t,LOSING PE:Ir.:ZS. 8 per Cent.

THREE O'CLOCK. Consols, Money .... 9 3 i i Ditto Account 93i 1 TILE EXPRESS OF THE FRE.NCIf IN NAN- CHESTER. ger Majesty 'Eugenie, Empress of the French; accom- a s i panied by her suite, arrived in Manchester about 25 minutes el after twelve last night, and is staying at the Queen's Hotel. st The first intimat ion of the intendedvisited was conveyed st in a telegram from Marquis de la Grange, which reached Mr. Johnson, of the Queen's, about half-past four o'clock sty y es t er d a y afternoon, its o b j ect bein g to re q uest that apart- sail, ments night be prepared for her Majesty and suite. The visit was wholly unexpected. Her Majesty travelled by the mail train which left the Buchanan-street Station, Glasgow, at four o'clock ; and was due at the Victoria Station here at midnight. The train reached Preston at 10 minutes before 11, or a st quarter of an hour after time. There were not more than s i 60 to 80 persons on the platform when the train drew u p ; but some of these were guilty of a piece of rudenese, whioh we hope they will heartily regret. The train had no sooner stopped at th e station, than three , 1 or four very well dressed females scrambled upon one of st these platforms,'and before the officers knew what had hap- st pened, others followed the bad example, some men be ing st a mon gst the intruders. Pushing for a peep through the gimped doors, those upon the platform kept up a chatter of " There she is," " That's her," " Why 8 ,1 she's asleep," and so on. All this attracted the attention 61 of the inmates of the saloon ; and the Marquis de la Grange s' emerging from the other end, begged that such annoying conduct might be stopped. At this timo Mr. Wilson, Mr. Blackmore, and some other gentlemen were pulling off the inquisitives ; but the work was not an easy one, and great watobialness was necessary to prevent a repetition of the scene. The train had to be divided at Preston; 4nd while this was. being done the number of spectators was considerably increased. The Manchester portion, with the Empress, started again a•few minutes after eleven. The crowd °heaved ; but the over -eagerness of some of their number bror t ght its own reward, the blinds of the saloon being drawn down quite closely. B elton was reached at eight or ten minutes before mid tight. Here the greeting given to her Majesty was really enthusiastic. We should think that nearly 1,500 persons had assembled; and the Bolton Companies of Rifle Vol tmteers supplied s strong guard of honour, under the command of Captain ,Gordon. The guard, with their rifles and their bayonets fixed, stood in line, the officers in front ; and a military salute was given as the train drew up. The band of the corps was present, and struck up the French national air ; and the crowd cheered in that hearty:ringing style so peculiar to " Lan cashire lads." Again and again the cheers rang out. The Empress was evidently as much surprised as she was pleased. Up went the saloon curtains; and 'her bowing esty, with her face be amin g with pleasure, continued °eying her acknowledgments, thus the more intensifying the enthusiasm. The members of the suite rose and stood behind the Empress. Alt length, at three minutes before twelve, the t rain moved off, amidst an almost dea fenin g p artin g cheer. At Me; tea Gate there was more cheering, and here, by com man d of the Empress, the Marquis de la Grange in q uired the :name of the station at which the train had l ast sto pp ed ; thus showing how much the Empress had noticed her reception in Bolton. The train arrived at the Victoria Station about 20 minutes after twelve. When the signal bell announcing the ap proach of the train rang, the most eager excitement pre vailed, and on her Majesty alighting from the railway car riage she was received with a hearty outburst of cheering, which was continued until the royal party drove off to the ,gueen's Hotel, where the fine suite of state ap artments had _u_c!in engaged f o r the accommodation of her Ma j esty and Tl as Ite : Besides the carriage occupied by her Majesty; which drawn by two splendid greys, was another of a similar l uau; and 411 orunilms for the attendants and luggage. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 'l3O, 1860. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(TRIS DAY), COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Before the Lord Chief Baron and a common Jury.) TYLER Y. MWGFORD. This is an action of damages for injur - sustained by the defendant's van running against the plaintiff on the 20th of August last, knocking him down and ceasing a compound fracture of his legs in Queen-street, Walvorth. The plaintiff, George Tyler, painter ant glazier, Queen street, \Valworth, said he was crossing the road opposite his shop-door with a child in his arme, when lie was knocked down by the wheel of the defendant's van. The wheels of the van went over Lim and broke his leg. He was taken to Guy's Hospital, where he remained five weeks, and he now sought to recover 3ompensation for the injury. Cross-examined—He said he had been asked by a friend to go over to a publichouse to have a glass of porter. Was not drunk, but had some porter in the coarse of the day. The defence set up was, that the plaintiff was intoxicated at the time the accident occurred, and therefore the blame and inconvenience arose through his awn fault. The driver said he called out as loud as he could, but no not* was taken of his warning. The place where the plaintiff was knocked down was not a regular crossing. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant. CRI111:11FAI COURT.-(THIS DAY. ) OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) BURGLARY. John Cooper, labourer, aged 21, John Jones, shoemaker, 20, George Gibbs, tailor, 21, and Ellen Davis, 21, were charged with burglary in the dwelling-h Duse of Richard Cordman, and stealing therefrom nineteen shawls, and five mantles, value £5O. _ . It appeared that the prisoners were seen lurking about the premises in question throughout the night on which the burglary was committed, and that Ccoper was caught in the house and the other male primers near, assisting him to remove the goods. The female prisoner was only connected with them from the fact of her having been seen frequently in their company during the night, and having assisted them in moving the property after it had been removed from the scene of the burglary. The jury returned a verdict of guilty against all four of :he prisoners. Two previous convictions of stealing from the person were proved against Cooper, three previous convictions of felony were proved against Jones, and he had only just completed his sentence of four years. Two previous con victions of felony were also proved against the female pri soner, who had just completed three years penal servitude. A previous conviction, the sentence for which only expired in October, was proved against Gibbs: The learned Recorder then sentenced Cooper to eight years' penal servitude, Jones and Gibbs to six years, and Ellen Davis to four years. This concluded the business of the session. POLICE INTELLIGEN CE --C TIIL3 DAI .) MARLBOROUGH STREET. A Boot Tunr.—George Brown, a lad of 18, was charged with stealing a book, " Foster's Letters on the Condition of the People of Ireland," from the shop window of Mr. Charlton, bookseller, 417, Oxford-street. From the evidence of James Leggett, assistant to Mr. Charlton, it appeared that he missed the volume from the showbeard of the shop about 7 the previous evening, having seen it safe there a short time before. He could identify the book by shop marks inside. Mr. Tyrwhitt having asked the prisoner whether he would be tried by him, and ho assenting, he was committed for 14 days with hard laboßr. THIS DAY'S 31A1LEETS. CORN EXCHANGE. There was a full average supply of English wheat on offer here to-day, but the bulk of it was the remains of Monday's unsold samples. The attendance of millers was limited, and the demand for both red and white qualities was heavy in the extreme at almost nominal quotations. To have forced sales, further depressed rates must have been submitted to. In foreign wheat—the imports of which are nearly 23,000 qrs.—most to nothing was doing, and all inferior kinds were lower to sell. Floating cargoes changed hands slowly on easier terms. Fine samples of barley supported previous rates, but other kinds were dull and rather cheaper. The malt trade was in a sluggish state, at barely Mon day's quotations. Good sound oats ware hold on former terms, but damp parcels gave way 6d per qr. Beans and peas were unaltered in value. Tho flour trade was very dull. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats.

FREDERICK PEEL AT BURY. Last evening the Right Hon. F. Peel, M.P., ad dressed his constituents in the theatre at Bury. The building was tolerably well filled, the committee having issued 1,500 admission tickets. The chair was taken at half-past 7 o'clock by Mr. 0. Walker, the chairman of Mr. Peel's election committee. The CHAIRMAN having briefly introduced Mr. Peel, The Right Hon. GENTLEMAN, after the cheering had subsided, said he understood the object of the meeting was to afford him the opportunity of addressing his constituents on the late session of Parliament, and the course which he had thought it necessary to pursue as their representative. He was ready to attend the meeting because he felt it to be the only opportunity he had of acknowledg ing their kindness to him, They had always left him a wide discretion to vote as he pleased on any question. Very many members of Parliament had addressed their constituents on the last session, and he thought their speeches were generally unfavour able to the work that had been done. •He saw no ground for the complaint which some people had made respecting the length of the speeches that had been delivered in Parliament, except so far as re lated to the Reform Bill. The statute-book for the last session of Parliament was a bulkier volume than any that had preceded it, and that was a pretty good test of. the quantity of work done. Where was the promised Reform Bill, that for the conso lidation of the law, and that for the consolidation of the bankruptcy law. It was a misfortune that they had not been passed this year, as they must again come before Parliament on a future session. The first vote he gave during the last session was in favour of the French treaty. With regard to th e wines of France, ke thought they would never dis place the hold which beer had upon the people of this country. He did not hesitate to vote for it, because he thought it would enhance the commer cial intercourse between France and England— (applause)—and would promote the interests of the people of. both countries. It was surprising how small had been the commercial intercourse between England and France hitherto, but the treaty would turn the thoughts of the warlike people of France to peace and commerce. It had been said it was a one-sided treaty, bundle fact was that if free trade was what they had found it to be in England, France would not rest till she had more of the advantages of free commerce. Speaking of the financial mea sures of the past session, he said they obliterated the last traces and vestiges of protection ; they did away with the differentia? duties in favour of colo nial timber growers, colonial wine growers, Eng lish clockmakers, riband makers, silk manufactu rers, and many other branches of trade. These duties were the remains of a once powerful family, but they were not less at the present time injurious on that account. He thought it to be his duty to vote for the Customs' duty on paper to be the same as it was to the English papermaker, for he saw no reason why papermakers should not be put on the same footing as regarded protection as every other trade. (Applause.) Nor could he see why the price of paper in this country should be made dearer than it otherwise would be through the medium of a tax which took more out of the pockets of the people than it put into the Exchequer. .The financial mea sures of the last session were remarkable for the work of simplification of the Customs' tariff, which was commenced some 20 years ago under the auspices of the Government of which his father was the chief. In 1840 the Customs' ditties were levied upon 1,000 articles, but at that period indirect taxation had been carried to its extreme limit, and then it was that that Government resolved to have recourse to direct taxation, and the plan was then commenced, which had been carried out ever since, to the complete relief of industry from that burden of taxation; and no sooner was that course entered upon than the trade of the country revived. Now they were only levied upon about twenty articles. (Hear, hear.) He thought these changes rendered memorable the past session. He held that the House of Commons could not too jealously maintain its exclusive right over the taxation of the country. (Hear, hear.) Through their representatives the people now taxed themselves ; and with regard to the repeal of taxation, he thought the House of Lords ought to be satisfied with a mere passive acquiescence. The House of Lords, he believed, had been led to pursue the course they did on account of the majority respecting the repeal of the paper duties having dwindled down to what it did. He thought, at the same time, that the House of Commons had consulted its own dignity in recording the protest which it did against the course pursued by the House of Lords. He believed such large sums had never been voted in any session as in the last for the army and naval defences of the country ; 90.000 seamen and marines, or just double the number voted in 1853, were voted for the navy. The great expense that the navy had entailed upon us mainly resulted from our having to reconstruct our vessels of war in order to enable us to sustain our maritime superiority. The same thing, to some extent, might be said of the army, there having of late years been a complete revolution in the con struction of our firearms and ordnance. It was doubtful, however, after all, whether the Volunteer movement had not been the means of winning from other nations that respect in which this country was now held. The failure of the Reform Bill was I mainly attributable to the indifference of the coun try. It was a question surrounded with difficulties, but could not be allowed to sleep. Finality had long been given up. If they wished it the laws of this country could no more be stationary than the progress of the people. If they could not have progress at the rate they could desire, at least they I should have some progress. Progressive legislation was in favour at the present day, and he held it was wiser to remove them gradually than to remain until a demand would be made to wipe them all off in a day. The country felt alarmed at the numbers which the late Reform Bill would have admitted to the franchise ; but the mere hands holding up the State the stronger it would be. He did not think the working classes wanted more than a fair share of political power—(hear)---or more than would enable them to act in harmony with the other classes for the common wealth. (Applause.) What had been the sympathies of England with regard to the ques tion of Italy all well knew. The amalgamation of the Italian States had been the act of a great man. (Cheers.) The one opinion had been that England ought not to have interferred with the quarrels of the Italian people, and while being passive herself she should Also insist that ether nations should be the same. That was the principle of non-inter vention enuncieed and laid down the very first night of the session, declared repeatedly through out the course of it, and steadily adhered to since, and they could only wish that it had been observed in former times as it was likely to be in the future. (Applause.) The right hon. gentleman then pro ceeded to justify his having taken office in the present Administration, ;and afterwards resumed his seat amid loud applause. In reply to several questions the right hon. gentleman stated, on the question of the ballot, that when before the house he voted against: it ; he was in favour of interference with the hours of labour, so far as regarded women and children ; that he was opposed to the flogging of soldiers for trivial offences, and that he was in favour of soldiers, as he was of all other men, rising by merit in the trade or profession they had chosen. A vote of confidence in the right hon. gentle man having been passed the proceed in g s termi- nated. A recent number of the Toronto Leader, one of the organs of the Canadian Ministry, states that the Go- vernment, in view of the Grand Tr unk Railway o threempany' coma application for relief, will imme diatel y appoint missioners to institute an inquiry into the affairs of the company. The commissioners are to be Mr. Grant, manager of the Northern Railway, and Messrs. Langton and Thudieu. The same paper mentions that the advances of the Bank of Upper Canada to the company were made upon the security of its property in Vermont, New Hamp shire, and Maine. It consists of the rolling stock property and entire interest of th e com p any there, and fully and unquestionably ample to cover the amount.

The annual meeting of this association took place to-day. The objects it professes to have in view are," the promotion of pure breeds, exhibiting cattle in a store state, and also for encouraging the feed ing of them at a mature age." But the words " Conservative Association,"conspicuously displayed on the front page of the catalogue, betrays its real purpose, which is also pretty well understood in the district. The "show" was small, but con s id ere d an average one. The dinner took place at the Eagle Hotel— advertised to be precisely at half-past two o'clock, it was past five before the cloth was removed. Rather less than 100 persons, chiefly the farmers of the district, sat down. The Earl of Dalkeith presided, and among those by whom he was sur rounded were Lord Ingestre, M.P., Mr. Spooner, M.P., Mr. Newdegate, M.P., the Hon. Colonel Scott, Mr. C. M. Caldecott, of Rugby Grange, &c. Mr. C. M. CALDECOTT gave " The health of the new President, the Earl of Dalkeith." The Earl of DALKEITII briefly returned thanks, assuring the company of the warm interest he took in the success of the association. As to the benefits arising frem these associations, there could be no doubt whatever. One improvement which he had noticed that day consisted in the arrangements for housing the cattle ; he believed the good effects of this would be seen at subsequent shows. The noble earl concluded by toasting "The County Members." That they enjoyed the confidence of their consti tuents there could be no doubt whatever, and he congratulated the county on having two such men to represent them. The toast was drunk with much applause, fol lowed by the chorus, " They are jolly good fellows," Lord Ingestre acting as fugleman. Mr. NEWDEGATE first returned thanks. He said their kindness was a proof that he had not been altogether unsuccessful in his endeavours to proye grateful for the long-continued honour they had conferred upon him in allowing him so long to remain their representative. He thanked the noble chairman for the kindness with which ho had proposed the health of himself and his hon. col league. It was a great honour to him, standing there as a member of the House of Commons, to find that another member of that house should think fit to speak as the chairman had done of his services. He, the noble chairman, had a higher sphere before him, and in fulfilling his duties as he had done so admirably in the House of Commons, he was pre paring himself to become a member of the Senate of the United Kingdom, a body of which every Englishman feels proud ; for the conduct of that illustrious assembly, the House of Lords, never stood higher than at the present time. That house had not yielded to the clamour of the House of Commons, but had shown this session, when the House of Commons, lending . too facile an ear to the eloquence of Mr. Gladstone, refused to pass one of the most aan g crous financial schemes, and the House of Peers had resumed their ancient right; and had let the people of this country have the full benefit of knowing that the laws of this country, though they are passed by the advice it may be primarily of the House of Commons, yet it is with the consent of the Lords spiritual and temporal. They had taken a great part, a great step, in the history of this country in these eventful times ; but they had done that which they were justified in doing, in consequence of the dangers which the reckless policy of the Government had brought upon them, end the country was grateful. Mr. Bright thought he had made a great hit in his reform agitation when he wished to persuade his neighbours that the Peers should be treated as nonentities. He said the Peers represented the land; but what would Mr. Bright say when the represenfatives of the majority of the people—their peers—refusedto con sent to a scheme of representation Mr. Bright was very discontented with the state of education. He (Mr. Newdegate) did not know whether those pre sent had read his letters to the people of Rother ham, cr his speeches at Wakefield, but Mr. Bright said that the most highly educated classes were the most ignorant of political economy, and that the labouring classes shared the ignorance of their more educated neighbours. He (Mr. Newdegato) asked them whether it was not possible that the ignorance might be with the speaker. Such a thing might never cross the imagination of Mr. Bright, but still it was an inference from his own assertion. He believed the fact to be this, that Mr. Bright was alarmed at the state of feeling which his own doctrine and the examples of the school to which he belonged had produced among the productive classes. In the manufacturing districts, he says, are combined to obtain a higher rate of wages for their labour all the school for which Mr. Bright is the organ ; having inculcated for 20 years the ex clusive dogma of political economy—buying in the cheapest, and selling in the dearest market. How, then, can he turn round and complain if he sees people acting on the dogma he has enforced P He also says that there are co übinations of employers as well as employed. We know that is true; it was by the combination of employers that the whole system of this country has-been destroyed. It is unreasonable to expect that the employers should regulate the rate of wages unless they can regulate the prices. Well, he need not tell them that it was by the operation of that which was called the Anti-Corn Law, or the Financial Reform Association, as it was called at another time, or the operations of the Peace Society, which brought about the Russian war, that the State was fairly driven from the ground of regulating prices in accordance with that which they believed to be the requirements of the population. These combi nations had an effect on prices ; if they wanted an illustration, look at the distressed condition of the riband weavers at Coventry. He had an address from a meeting at which he was present, in which it was stated that 50,000 persons were so destitute that their destitution could not be met by the charitable exertions of their neighbours, and almost overpowered the means the Poor Law placed at their disposal. He appealed to the sympathy of his countrymen for aid to meet the exigencies which had been produced by a policy which Mr. Milner Gibson said had been carried out for the interest of the community, but, as it appeared, without regard to these suffering classes. (Hear.) There was a cold flippancy in the manner in which he (Mr. Gibson) said free trade must not be interrupted by considerations for the interest of the riband weavers. He also expressed a hope, though the new policy had prostrated them, that they would find that their trade was placed upon a sound basis. That was like knocking a man down, and, when he was flat, saying that he had a,sound basis. Mr. Bright at Wakefield went on to say, after having striven for years to set class against class, that he hoped the course he had adopted would justify the work of God. Did he believe that internecine strife was that which the merciful Creator desired should prevail among the nations of the earth ? Was that his meaning ? If not, why did he appeal in justifica tion to the Divine Author of all mercies as an autho rity f He appealed to them, and the country at large, for sympathy on behalf of those suffering men in Coventry whose interests had been sacri ficed to the interests of the State and the community at large. They surely should be considered not less than the men who had been wounded in a general engagement, and the public should come and give their active sympathy to mitigate the evil. (Cheers.) It was said that the state of things which had existed in this district for some months was not solely to be attributed to the French treaty. He would admit that the season which had just passed was against the producers of these articles of indus try ; but the manufacturers of Lyons had again full work, operations, and were once mo re i n work, while the looms of Switzerlan d were in full operation, and in the United States the trade was brisk for all articles of this manufacture; but in England the trade remained ply not be attributed to the state of affai r s This could t o o n t t h h e e u C n o f n a : tinent, or to the changes of vvfashion, el the causes why vourable season, for if these should they not also have o perated in Lyons and however, arose from disregarding the w other places ? The distress,. o eserva tion of Sir Robert ' Peel in the adoption of r the French treaty. That wise statesman reserved from 10 to 15 per cent. vpon all . arlteincltest, which with other contingences, o a protection of about 30 per equivalent r. Again 4 I felt that the forms wcoanst. tguse needed alteration, and I proposed of the debate should be commenced aft er one o'clock in the that no new afterthe noon. I have seen house cont i nua lly legislating when thoroughly exhausted. I have seen tlie Speaker almost dropping from his chair. The House of Commons, though it did not sanction my proposal, agreed to consider it in com mittee next session. Now, to my great surprise, M r . W. Ewart, one of the gentlemen who had been most active in abusing the forms of the house, has followed up my motion by one of his own, and on the principle of " the greater the sinner the, greater the saint," has been paraded through the newspapers as the man who would reform the practice of the House of Commons. (Laughter.) Mr. SPOONER also briefly returned thanks. At the present time we were in a most peculiar position ; let them look at the position of England ; look at that of Europe ? was there one among them who did not believe that it was the duty of England to maintain our national independence and our national characters We ought to keep ourselves rfectly f free ; and of all things it ought to be the duty t o o perfect members in the next session of Parliament la 0- endeavour to relieve as much as possible t a b upon Whom rious class of our fellow-country men the national taxation pressed most heavily.
