MONEY f 74. r‘TTELLIGENO . CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Bank of England return, made up to the 3d inst., h:is exhibited a small decline in the amount of bullion, a circum-tanco that has not occurred for nearly four months past. The large amounts now on their way from Australia will, however, soon replace the small deficiency. The other securities have shown a slight increase, con sequent upon the preparations to meet the pay ments of the 3d and 4th of the month ; and in the reserve of notes there is a diminution of over leaf a million. In the other deposits there is a large falling off, but a slight incre ise may be noticed in the public deposits. The other items in the balrnce sheet exhibit no very material alteration, and are in most respects of a satisfactory character. The various items, and the charges they present, will be seen by the following table : Active circulation Increase Total Bullion Decrease Rest Increase Public deposits Increase Other deposits 14,726 081 Decrease Seven-day and other bills Increase Government securities • Decrease Other securities Mereuse Notes unemployed Dicrea , e For some tine past the movements in the Bask have been uniform, but the improvement having now been considerable, an occasional reaction in the principal items must be expeete I. When business becomes more active, and as a consequence the demand for money has increased, some additions to the other securities and a larger circulation of notes will follow as a matter of course. The in quiry for discount even now exhibits some indica tions of expansion, and the bill-brokers are charging per cent. more than they did a week ago. The tendency will, no doubt, be in favour of an advance, but some time must elapse before the Bank authori ties will be compelled to render their regulations more stringent. The Liverpool Cotton Market yes t erday closed firmly, and values of all descripions were well maintained. The sales were estimated at 5,000 bales, 500 of which were taken on speculation and for export. Since Monday last the imports of specie have been about 393,3491., and the exports 354,6831., exclusive of the followieg shipments direct from London to the Continent during the week ending Thursday last : Gold Coin—Boulogne 10,050 oz. 4 „ Bars—Belgiu m Silver Coin—Boulogne 1,600 The market for English Securities has been very heavy to-day, and the transactions completed, Which have been limited, have generally been at lower prices. An unfavourable influence seems to have been produced by the Bank of England return, but the depression on the Paris Bourse also produces a heavy tone in this market. Consols have been 96t 1 for money, and 961 for account. The latter are now 961 buyers. The Nevr Three per Cents. have been specially trans ferred at 961 97, and the Reduced at 96g. Bank Stock is 226 k. Exchequer Bills were about 40s. premium, and the Bonds, 1001 Business in the Foreign Stock Market has been restricted, and prices have generally exhibited a downward tendency.

Only a moderate business has been done to-day in the Railway Share Market, and lyric s hare ex hibited a further downward tendency of about t to per cent. Eastern Counties, Great Northern, Great Western, Brighton, Midland, and North British have declined 10s. ; North Western and South Eastern, 15s. ; and Caledonian, 11. The Foreign lines have been very dull. Northern of Prance have receded 55., and Paris and Lyons, 10s. In the Colonial Market lower rates are current, with very little business doing. Bast Indian have receded ss. to 103. ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 10s. to 153. ; and Great Western of Canada, ss. In Mines, Banks, and Miscellaneous Shares there is little variation to report.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE G. SICHEL. His Honour said the better way would be for him to read the affidavit of Mr. John Dillon and Mr. Slater, as to the manner in which the goods were obtained. His Honour then read the affidavit, and, according to the evidence of Mr. Slater, it appeared that Messrs. Morrison and Dillon at fir.-.t refused to give credit for such a large amount, but it was ultimately agreed that he should pay 6301. in cash, and he stated that he had been a partner in the firm of Sichel and Co., of Manchester, and connected with his brother at Melbourne, on whose account he made the purchases. He also stated that he had ample means, and was liquidating the matters of the Manchester firm, and that be had the use of the money until the insolvent. liquidati.oi was completed, but they (Messrs, Morrison and Co.) had been informed that at th e ti me of this tran saeMtHro.onnAhibr g waghopelessly tgpersotcedede to remark on the case, when e his that the case should be adjourned for some period, say 6 months, with protection, to enable the bankrupt to proceed to ConetAntinople, and to endeavour to realise the estate, He (his Honour) considered that such a course would be benefic'al to the interests of the creditors, and would also be, in all pro bability, advantageous to the bankrupt. Mr. Lawrence, for the bankrupt, declined accepting the suggestion, as there was an imputation of fraud on the bankrupt, but which he should be able satisfactorily to rebut. The protection of this court would be looked upon as waste paper in a foreign country, and Mr. Sichel was prepared at once to take the judgment of the court, but whatever might be the decision of the court, even if adverse to him, it would not in any way interfere with his anxiety and determination to do the utmost he could for his creditors, but he could not allow himself to remain under an imputa tion of fraud. The learned gentleman then at great length referred to the extensive business which the bankrupt had been cmuee.,ed with, and said that as junior partner of the firm he bad undertaken to liquidate the debts of the Manchester firm, and at the time he purchased the goods of Messrs. Morrison arid Co., be fully believed there woull be a surplus of 40,0002, of which be would ba entitled t 3 one-fifo, The learned gentleman proceeded to answer in detail the voluminous evidence already given, and the case was proceeding, but his Honour intimated that he should take time to consider his judgment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.) 130 W-STREET. was placed a t t h e b ar charged with stealing ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Jacues Groves, a footman, forty sovereigns and t wo f i ve-pound Bank of England notes, the property o f L a d y Henderson, of Torrington-square. From the ev id ence of the prosecutrix, it appeared that on the 25th of January last she placed 150 sovereigns and four five-pound Bank of England notes in her cash box, which she k e pt i n a drawer in one of her apartments known to the pri soner. A few days ago, finding a larger sum of money missi ng t h an was expected, she made out a list of expenses th at had been discharged, and on comparing the whole with the money remaining, she dis covered a deficiency of 501. The money stolen consisted of 40 sovereigns and t.vo of the five-pound notes. The police were sent f-r, and on Inspector Pethers of the E division arriving, she related the robbery to him, and from certain circumstances he suspected the servants, and the prisoner was given into custody. Immediatel afterwards he asked the inspec•or whether he would allow him to see his mistress ; and on being taken into her presence, he admitted taking she 40 sovereigns, but denied all knowledge of the notes. The prisoner, in answer to the questions of Lady Henderson, stated that, knowing where the money wa s k e pt, he tried the keys of the other apartments, and finding one to fit the lock o: the door of the private room, he thus got at the money. Another person was also placed at the bar, charged with being concerned wit'. the prisoner in the robbery. Mr. Henry remanded Groves for a week, but he discharged the other prisoner on the understanding that she should enter into her own recognisances to attend this day week. THAMES. AN INCORRIGIBLE CHINESE THIEF. —A Chinese cook, who gave the name of Georg e Marshall, who came to England in a British ship two years ago, and has since been alternately a thief and a vagrant, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a suit of clothes, a cap, silk handkerchief, woollen comforter, and other property from the ship John Catlett, in the East India Dock. It appeared that the prisoner waited en Mr. Jas. Cunard, the eteaard of the vessel, while he was getting dinner ready, on the previous day, and asked if a ship's cook was wanting. The steward said he would give him an answer in a minute or two, and left the prisoner in the galley while he went to the cabin with the dinner for the captain and officers of the vessel. On his return to the galley, the prisoner was gone, and an old cap which the prisoner had been wearing was upon deck. The prosecutor opened his the was captured as he chest, and found all his clothes, li ne; cap, mit. tens, and the whole of his sea kitm were and kli rem i i a s c sing y for missing. A w A n e t alarmhaebo e n dsut to emerge waosfjrauilisteice, fromatlle p risoner pursuit was ad dock at the principal gate, after taking a oircnitons route. The whole of the stolen property was upon him over his own clothes, or rather some rags and a white flannel shirt. The prisoner was wearing the prosecutor's cap, and had left his own in the ship's galley. James Swingaand, a London Dock constable, said the prisoner was guilty of a precisely similar offence in the London Dock, and when he was brought into the police statiou he bad three coats, three waistcoats, three shirts, and three pairs of trousers all on his person, all of which he had stolen from a ship. He was sentenced to two months' imprisonment and bard labour. Police Sergeant Walker, in charge of the police van, said the prisoner had passed through his hands four or five times, and came out of prison on Thursday morning. The prisoner, through an interpreter, said be never stole anything. Mr. Selfe—The case is clear, and I sentence him to ,bree months' imprisonment and bard labour. RELEAISI OF MR.

DO• His Honour the Master of the Rolls, in delivering judgment in this case, said that he had very little diE. cuity about the construction of the will, but that con struction was unfavourable to the plaintiff. The will was the will of the late Mr. Henry Wilmer, executed by him on 4th July, 1845 ; and, besides the limitations of the estate, he charged his estate with a term of 500 year& The plaintiff, by her bill and supplementary lA, asked fur a declaration that she was entitled to the fee of the surplus rents of the estate after the divisien of the provisions of the trust are performed. His Honour was of opinion that this must be determined entirely upon the construction of the will, and looking to the terms of the provisions in the will, the plaintiff was not entitled to the fee of the surplus rents of the estate. Then with regard to the trust for the term of 500 years—was the plaintiff entitled to take, in face of the provisions and limitations contained in the will. There was a provision f,,r tenants in tail and contingent remainders, and a limitation in favour of the children of his sisters to be born within five and fifteen years. His Honour was of opinion that although there were no children at present, ye►, until the expiration of that time, of which five years had to run, the plaintiff had no claim against the trust funds. His Honour made a declaration to that effqet, and granted the usual administration decree. Costs of the trustees of the trust fund as between party and party. Costs of the trustees under the will to come out of the trust estate. To-day was appointed for the further consideration of the certiScate of this bankrupt, who was described as of Gresham House, New Broad street. Mr. Ashurst appeared to oppose on the part of Messrs. Morrison, Dillon, and Co., on the ground that the bankrupt had obtained a large quantity of goods of the value of upwards of 1,600/, at a time when he well knew that he was in a hopeless state of insolvency. He (Mr. Ashurst) said that the Messrs. Morrison and Dillon had felt it their duty to oppose the bankrupt on the present occasion, but they were not actuated by the slightest feeling of vindictiveness, and he (Mr. Ash urst) regretted that the grounds on which the suspension arose had not been explained. He then pro ceeded to state the allegations made against the bank rap•. rtirb aarittton LIVERPOOL RACES.—(This Day.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) LIVERPOOL STEEPLECHASE. Little Charley__ Weathercock.

The postponement of the Liverpool events, and the unsettled state of the weather, 5 , ems to have brought betting upon future events quite to a stand till for not a wager (excepting a few trifling bets at 2 to 1 against the Steeplechase being run this week, came under our no ice. Tne weather here at midday was very fine, and, there being few clouds, the sun had great power, but in parts where its rays could not touch, there was little sign of a thaw. Fears are entertained that should the Steeplechase be run to-morrow (Saturday), few horses will go to the post, and the short notice that the stewards can give of it coming off will leave people too long in suspense to ensure anything like a good attendance.

Senator Hale, in a spirit of ridicule, bad moved the following amendment— " Whereas a state of colonial dependence is not cal culated to illustrate the theory and practice of popular sovereignty and perfect freedom, therefore, the committee on foreign relations are also in structed to inquire with regard to Canada, and other British possessions on the American con tinent." The bill for the increase of the army had been further debated in the Senate. The Hew York Herald says of the measure : "It cannot pals, but it is probable that an increase of the military force, limited to two years, to meet exiting exigencies, will be agreed to by the majority." An extensive fire had occurred on the premises in New York occupied by Messrs. Windle and Co., importers of house furnishing articles, and Charles Abradeldt, importer of toys and German goods. The total loss was estimated at about 200,000 dols. Destructive conflagrations had a l so occurre d at Boston, Elmira, and St. Cherine's, Canada West. It was r, ported at Washington that as soon as one or two of the questions pressing upon the at tention of the Government were disposed of, the relations with Spain and the numerous claims of American citizens upon the Spanish Government would be taken up by Mr. Buchanan, and pressed to an imm"diate settlement.

SIR,—In your paper of yesterday you say " extension of the suffrage without the ballet is but the extension of - serfdom.'" I fear this is too true. Your observations on Sir H. Dryden's speech in South Northamptonshire induce me to state a tew facts con nected with that electoral district, which I think prove your position to be correct, and show why the Tories of the present day are advocating what is called " Reform 1 in the Representation of the People." In the year:'lB3l the representation of the county of Northampton was 3 contested by Lord Althorp an d L or d Milton as Liberals, and Mr. Cartwright, the father of the lately elected re presentative of the southern division of that county, and Sir Charles Knightley, the father of it' other member. On that contest the fate of the Reform Bill was con : sidered to hang. The electors of Nuenbareptonshire did their duty nobly. In an extensive and numerously populated parish, now included in the said southern division, there was but one voter at that time, and he voted for Lords Althorp and Milton. The Reform Bill conferred the franchise (as now appears by the register of voters) upon upwards of seventy of the owners and occupiers of property in that parish. Although there is not any extensive land• owners resident in the parish, great influence is exerted by gentlemen woo reside in its immediate neighbour - hood. Mark the working under these circumstances of an extension of the suffrage-. At the first contested elec tion after the passi ng o f the Reformßill that parish sent, I believe, one voter (a working shoemaker) to poll for the Liberal candidate ; the remainder (Whigs, T e-, Liberal, Radicals, Churchmen, Werleyans, and Dieeen• tern)—there were some of all these classes amongst them,—voted for the Tories who were of the Dryden school. After the close of the poll this poor shoemaker went home and found his house all but a wreck. The Tory reward for independence. Ile had no redress. At the contest in 1847, when Lord Henley was a candidate, some five or six of these voters were induced to vote for him—the remainder " sticking to their colours and voting blue," as it is termed by them. In 1857, some 14 or 15 of these men were induced under very peculiar circumstances to vote for Lord Althorp, and about 50 of them voted for the " blue can didate," one gentleman marching them to the poll, and afterwards paying for the dinner and other refresh ments supplied to hie troop. In the late contest I have been informed that the voters for Lord Henley, from this parish, dwindled down to sor 6. Ido not pledge myself aq to the exact num ber of votes recorded at the above -mentioned contest, after the passing of the Reform Bill, as I am writing from memory only ; but the general correctness of the above statement, I am able and willing to prove. Let reformers, who fancy everything is to be gained to their canoe by an extension of the suffrage, as the late Mr. Hume did, consider these facts. If they will make inquiries, I fear they will find many more such cases. It sh3uld be known that the Sir H. Dryden you refer to is the gentleman who, upon the hustings in South Northamptonshire, in 1847, told the electors teat the cattle murrain waesent as a judgment upon the coun try for its political offences—meaning the preference for a liberal to a tory government. A SOUTH NORTFIA.NIPTONSHIRE ELECTOR. London, March 5, 1858. CONFERENCE OF ITALIAN DELEGATES. The conference met at eleven yesterday morning ; Signor Borromeo, the president, in the chair. Letters from almost every part of I'aly were read by the secretary of the conference, Signor Cerrenti, congratu lating the delegates on the firennese they exhibited in supporting the movement of so much importance to the welfare of Italy. Also various letters from gentlemen tendering their support to a movement which eventually might promise to breonee a reality, the MOBi, important of which were from several members of Perliament and two peers of England, offering to support any movement which, carried on by peaceful agitation, might tend to advance the interests of the various states of Italy, in securing for them a constitutional form of government. The PRESIDENT congratulated the delegates on the inauguration of a movement which promisee for Italy the realisation of its brightest hopes. lie bad felt assured, when consulted by his friends from Italy, the very fact of the opinions of the true patriots of his country being uttered in a land that invariably showed , itself the true supporters-of liberty, that it wooll be ini p4ssible to utter such sentiments as bad been enunciated at the conference ever since it had been held, without drawing forth the expressions of kind esteem and senti ment that had met them on every side. The conference meeting io London had established it,: principl• s through the medium of a press ever willing to suppor the cause or truth and justice, especially when it was founded on what was considered a practical basis , . II Cavaliers CASTINg moved : " That the friends of constitutional government in Eer;land and in the other countries of the continent of Eur )pe, be at o .ce invited to co- perate with the National Italian League." Signor FARINI offered some observations on the above resolution, and it was subsequently carried. Sign r LIM, before he read the address which the committee were delegated to draw up the various Courts of Europe, desired to oiler thereon an observation or two. It was natural, in the first instance, that the address submitted to them should undergo many altera• tions, but i , . had been f eunded on the principles he had, in concert with his colleagues on the committee, adopted as the solemn pledges of the conference they were sent to support. In the next instance, many might imagine the grounds taken were not sufficiently general ; and others, that the ( xpo:itir , n nf their claims was urged in language of too strong a nature. lit,uch were the case, he and his colleagues had agreed to submit without a murmur to the decision of the general oonference, feeling assured the only prospect of their country's regeneration lay in their unity. (Cueers.) Signor LITTA then read the address, which was of considerable length, but which we refrain from giving to our readers, owing to numerous alterations suggestedshy several of the delegates.

COCKERMOUTH. rho election for this berough toe:: place in the Court House on Wednesday, when, as we announced yester. day, Lord Naas was re-elected without opposition. His LORDSHIP, on coming forward to return thanks, F aid—The new Administration has come into power under circumstances of a very peculiar nature. The House of Cornmens came to the decision that the acts which Lord Palmerston had performed were not worthy of the occasion, and that he bad made such a mistake as a British Minister ought not to make—a mistake that it was necessary to mark with instant condemnation. Some time ago a fearful crime was attempted to be committed in France. When it was found by the French people that the persons who made this abominable attempt had batched their scheme in England —and he was sorry to say that more than one Eng ishman was implicated in it —it was not to be wondered at that strong sentiments were expressed. Addresses were presented to the Em peror by colonels of the French army in terms most of: fensiee to the English people. Tke Secretary of State for the French Emperor, in a despatch which was published. and laid on the table of Parliament, expressed himself in. terms which certainly showed great ignorance of the state of things in England, and made statements which were certainly incapable of proof. In that despatch Count Wal,wski asked if English legislation ought to serve to favour the designs and manoeuvres of political assassins. He (Lord Naas) believed the law of England was strong enough to cope with such dangers, and that on the statute book there would be found a law relating• to conspiracies to murder sufficient to deal' with suck cases; a law which would be found sufficient to punish such attempts, and if it were not sufficient, he was stirs there was no man in England who would object to its being clanged- But he believed it would be found that there was a sufficient law, and that ere long it would be put in force. Well, the government received that dis. paten. Although he did not believe it was ever intended, as an insult to the people of England, ort'aat it waiever thought likely to arouse mill-feeling, yet be contended that the statements made were at variance with the truth, and detnandeil from those entrusted with the government of this country an explicit and decided. answer. The government received chat dispatch on the 25th of last month, and up to last Friday no answer bad been sent. They were told that there was a verbal come munication with Count de Persigny, the ambassador of France iu this country, hut that was Lot the way to an• steer each a dispatch. Those ineinuations were readeia open day, placed on the face of a state paper, and that record will last fur ever. But on the other head no counter statement, no contradiction, no remonstrance passes on the part of England ; and i'.; must have appeared to the great bulk of the persons in this country and of Europe that the English Government were not able to ianswer the ass er ti ons ma d e in the French despatch:: Now, this question was brnught before the House of Commons. A resolution gas ino• • I as an amendment to a b:11 which was before Parliament, called the Cor. spiracy to Murder Bill, but it /11 , 1 very little to do with the bill, and was pointed entirely to the condenmn'io,t of the ministry for not answering the despatch. It was introduced by a gentleman with whom the Conservative party had no feelings in common, but it was introduced in a speech of very great ability. The defence of the Government was weak ; they evidently had none to give, and the Government were ueteated by a majority of 19. Now, that being the case, Lord Palmerston next day placed his re , ignation in the hand. of the Queen. Her Majesty immediately sent for Lord Derby, and asked him to form an administratio' . He could not but believe that a govtroment called ! a er these circumstances to preside over the :affair, of the country wool receive a lair trial from the people of England. At :he conclusion of his lardstrip's address an elect quo - tin d him on the le.llat and representative reform. In reply, Lord Naas said he wises opposed to the ballot, out t!.. , ught it a fit i.l bject o • inquiry. He would pledges himself to no plan of relents unta it was introduced into tire Hoene of Commons and fairly considered and dit•,* cussed. BELFAST. DUBLIN, Friday. --Tine day, Mr. Cairns', Solicitor General for Englund, was re-elected member for Belfast Without opputiition. He was enthusiastically cheered. THE BOOT AND SHOE TRADE. James Green and others in their March cirettia" 833 :‘ : The month of February is generally known to be year, but r cent events, which a ll b u t a h lini 1a have told to a s er i ous extent on the ptreeSB:lnitnpteerit, S ci P nr e e e td t Li s et, o f the shoe trade. We think the eprin and sumeier orders will be late, and we fear not Baia cient to rest 're proeperity to manufacturers or makers. Althoueh money is bec 'ming plentiful is the discount market, the customary long-dated paper, by which the principal shoe trade is thne, is not looked upon with that favour that exiqed in bri,hter days, therefore mantle facturere have no 1. nger the inducement to press salts uidess for cash ; and as cash buyers are looking more for t , argains than rernu, erative prices, busine , s has beert limited with tlio:;e capable of keeping their stocks for 4 fair price. Were the shoe trade in this country to maks an effort t 3 si.orten credit, as is now being attempted its the United States, we are assure! that great advantages would ,:ccrue from its otclropli,hment to aq parties " We have uo change to note at present in the Aug. tralia . % y m i sr „ k k e , t. d forl:heespmecaiailllyuatz: it tnwexiiti bring details o is t a the x. effeot there of the late monetary crisis in this coune try, and it is. feared that the disastrous advioes forwarde4 in October and November last, which both left Surd the same time, wid inevitably produce a severe panic the colony of Victoria, and perhaps in the other colonic' of Australia.

"The Leather Market has shown a little more no. tivity, and current prices are maintained. " LONDON. —The same unfavourable results continine to manifest themselves in the labour market—ordf3r4 being still unusually slow, " NORWICEL—The Trade here remains in a state of great depression, and work is very scarce, several enae rt lecturers doing little more than keeping their doors op en still, at present they look forward to a satisfactory iSnp‘tr‘binNi: d o p n t i r r a a n ee e e' , mON a P u T di .—P tisin re a l o p y ee s ts ea a r r not se since at tr all ad b e r g a la s t i e o n e t ed a so slack.

S''thern E4court, the new President o f th e Poor Law Board,o took place in the Corn Exchange, Devizes', this morning. The right btu. gentleman was proposed by G. H. W. Heneage, Esq. (late member for Devizes), and seconded. by Wm. Colborne, Esq., of Chippenham ; and there being no opposition to his return, was declared duly elected, Mr. ESTCOURT said 30 years bad elapsed since be first entered the walls of Parliament, and his course of conduct during that period bad shown that he bad no ambition or appetite for office, On Wednesday in last week, however, he received a visit from an old friend, te," member of the House of Commons, who was well knovere to be in the confidence of Lord Derby, who said he had came to him (Mr. Estcourt) with a message from bite lordship, to ask him to accept the office of President of the Poor-law Board. The reply which he (Mr. Estcourt) made was, "My dear o'd friend—it is out of the ques tion ; it is out of nay line ; Ido not wish for it, and there are others who will do it quite as well, and who would be gratified and pleased by it." Some further conversation took place, but the result was his (Mr. Estcourt's) acceptance of the office. The right honourable gentleman then proceeded to ray that mast of them had, he supposed, read the eloquent and magnificent speech which was made in the House . of Lords on Monday last by L:rd Derby, in which his lord ship explained the course which he intended to pursue ; and without troubling them by going over the same ground, he (Mr. Estcourt) would only say that he felt proud and glad to have enlisted himself under such 4 leader. The change of government which had taken/. Place was not a change which had been brought aboutf by a hostile collision of parties ; the late Government had gone out by their own inherent weakness, because( they bad of late appeared to the country deficient ie. that energy and that straightforwardness which they had taken credit for twelve months ago. After a fee. , remarks upon the two bills which have peculiarly marked the last session of Parliament—namely, the Conspiracy, Bill and the India Bill—Mr. Estcourt made a few rel.' marks upon the subject of church rates. He said his only object in wishing to see any alteration in the pre. sent system was to get rid of the scandal which it caused 4 but his opinio n was, t h at i n par i shes where the majority'. were against a r a t e b e i ng grante d , those who wet s adverse to it should be compelled to fill up a return; stating to what religious denomination be wished to contribute the amount to which the propertyhe occupied was liable. By doing this ' no man could sa y th at l e i s conscience was violated . To the ballot Mr. Eitcourt expressed himself as decidedly opposed, as well at to any organic changes in the constitution, although he was desirous to improve the existing institutions of the country. Very few persons were present. 97 i
