There is only a moderate inquiry for money, and notwithstanding the reduced terms upon which accommodation can be obtained in the general market very little reference has been made to the probability of an alteration in the minimum rate of discount in the Bank of England. The supplies of money continue plentiful, and first class bills having only a short period to run can be negotiated as low as 3,-1 per cent., while loans on English stock are negotiable at 2 to 23- per cent. i ~.1 Closing B ns i neS4 100 Atlantic &St Lawrence all 85 67 „ Sharei Railways.

The Railway Share Market closed with more animation, and prices ex hibited a general improvement. A sum of £20,000, in gold, was withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday, for exportation. The Tasmanian has been announced from the West Indies, with a large supply of specie, viz., £1,132,400 ; and the Fulton has arrived from New York, with £88,400 for France. To-day a call of £2 per share, amounting to £310,000, is due on the Great Indian Peninsula New Railway Shares. There was a meeting yesterday of the creditors of Messrs. Smith, Sinclair, and Co., linen factors, when a balance-sheet was presented showing the liabilities to be £43,553, and the assets £15,736. After some explanations, it was resolved that the estate should be adjudicated in the Court of Bank ruptcy. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under :- 1860. 1859.

On the Great Western there is a decrease of £224 ; South-Eastern, £1,233 ; and Bristol and Exeter, £6BO The Market for Public Securities continues quiet but it presents a heavy appearance owing to sales on speculative account. An unfavourable effect has been produced by political advices from abroad, especially in reference to the communication made by Russia to France. Consols are 93 to 931 for money, and 938 1 for the 11th proximo. India New Loan has receded to 1031 ; ditto 51 per Cent.

The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 18 2/ prem. ; the Thames and Mersey, tl 1 prem. ; and the Universal, 1 1 prem. A very moderate business has been transacted in the Railway Share Market, and prices generally have been steady. Lancashire and Yorkshire, and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln advanced ss. ; Great Northern, 10s. ; and North Eastern (Berwick), £1 ; Caledonian have declined 55., and Midland and South Eastern 10s.

Accounts have reached town of a flagrant attempt made on Sunday, in the open day, to assassinate Mr. Richard Dy as, S.P. of lleathstown, county of Meath, while returning in his carriage from Athboy Church. A correspondent of one of the Dublin papers (the Express) gives the subjoined particu lars. The Government have offered a reward of £lOO for the discovery of the assassin—the perpe trator of the deed : Opera Dancer 1 The Wizard 2 THIRTEENTH TRIENNIAL STAKES. Folkestone Klarikoff 2 Knight of St. Patrick Nine ran. " Kells, Monday, Sept. 24. " I have just heard that a most diabolical at tempt was made yesterday to assassinate Mr. Richard Dyas, J.P., Heathstown, while returning from church. As far as I can learn up to the pre sent, the facts are these :—Mr. Dyas was sitting beside his coachman (whether driving or not I can not say), the inside of the vehicle being occupied by a portion of the family, and when within a short distance of his own house a shot was fired from behind the hedge, fortunately without seriously wounding either Mr. Dyas or the coachman. The slugs, or bullets, actually grazed the person of Mr. Dyas, touching the skin, so that the escape was in deed miraculous, many of them being found lodged in the coachman's coat, in the cushions, and also in the front of the carriage. Had the charge even caught the centre of the carriage, the deaths of several might have resulted. The assassins were dressed in the garb of women, a general mode, and had their faces blackened, so that identification may prove abortive. This is, I understand, either the third or fourth time that the life of Mr. Dyas has been attempted. On one occasion a horse was shot under him while he was proceeding to Carlana town fair, and on another occasion he was fired at near his own house. I have heard no particular reason assigned for these diabolical attempts upon his life. He is agent to Sir Benjamin Chapman, whom all say is tt first-rate landlord, and I believe Lady Chapman to be respected to the highest ex tent by all her tenantry, and also by all who know the family. Such an outrage as the above, I am happy to say, is of rare occurrence in this country, but, taking place as it did in the most celebrated part of the district for riband outrages, some de cided course should be taken by the Government to put down the system, if they are able to do so. The spot where the late Mr. Connell met his un timely end is not many miles from the scene of the above attempt. Heathetown is only a few miles from the town of Athboy, where Mr. Dyas and his family were at church. The would-be assassins made off the moment the shot was fired, so that pursuit was unavailing, especially as the coachman is rather elderly, and perhaps could not well leave his master in the fright and excitement of the mo ment. Should I hear any further particulars of the matter I will let you know." SWEEPSTAKES OF 10 SOVS. Leontes 1 Boutin& Four ran. £5O HANDICAP PLATE. Faultless Zaretan Rattlesnake Ten ran.

AN UNRULY PAUPER,—Mary Beattie was placed at the bar, charged with assaulting Elizabeth Hales, and obtain ing admission to St. Giles' Workhouse under false pre. tences. . Elizabeth Hales said she was an inmate of St. Giles's Workhouse, as was the prisoner. They slept in the same bed, and since Beattie's admission she had been continu ally quarrelling. An altercation took place this morning about remaking the bed, the prisoner refusing flatly to assist in doing so, and on being informed that the authori . _ ties would be acquainted with her conduct, she jumped on the bed, and getting hold of the complainant she began striking her with the hand broom. Shugars the officer, was called, but he was unable to restore quiet ness, so he took the prisoner into custody. The nurse of the ward, Mrs. Coombes, confirmed the statement of witness. Shugars, the officer to the Workhouse, said he was called to quell a disturbance in one of the female wards. He found the prisoner partly undressed, and, on telling her to put the whole of her clothes on, he observed she took par ticular care of her pocket. He demanded to know what she had in it, as she had obtained admission into the house as a totally destitute person. Sho refused to satisfy him, and after a little resistance he got:the pocket from her, and found in it a purse containing a sovereign, two shillings, and four foreign coins. Magistrate—Well, prisoner, what have you to say to the charge ? Prisoner—Nothing your worship. I refused to submit to the impudence of Hales, and I paid her out for it. I never did nothing else. Hales—That's true. You neyer did nothing else. You used to walk about the ward like a lady calling everybody else names. Prisoner—What did I call you; you'are not worth call ing anything. (Laughter.) _ Hales—You called me enough to aggravate any person. Prisoner—lf I called you names, you did me. I cer• tainly called you a thief. Why, your worship she was going to be married to my brother, but his lieutenant would not allow it, and she then ran away with all his money about a month ago. Shugars said Hales had been in the house more than two months, so it could not be her. Mr. llEnry—What have you to say to entering the work house as a destitute person ? Prisoner—So I was and am. I've nobody to look after me—(laughfer)—and went into the workhouse to look after the girl that ran away with my brother's money, and I thought I should be sure to find her there. Mr. Henry—But when you applied for admission you had seven-and-twenty shillings in your purse. Shugars informed the magistrate that the prisoner had never once left the house since she entered it a fortnight *ego, or received any letters or friends. Prisoner—Well, I did have the money when I went in, but as I did not intend to stop long I thought I might want it when I came out, so I did not say anything about it. Mr. Henry told the prisoner that she had clearly com mitted an assault on Hailes, and obtained admission to the workhouse by falsely representing herself as a destitute person. The officer informs me you have not the slightest claim on the parish, so I shall remand you for a week in order that some inquiries may be made about you. The prisoner was then locked up.

CHARGE OE FRAUD. James William Howell, who stood remanded on various charges of frauds and impositions practised by him in his self-assumed character of secretary to the Society for the Abolition of Imprisonment for Debt, was again placed at the bar of the Lambeth Police Court, before Mr. Elliott, for further exami nation. Mr. Pollard, from the office of the solicitor to the Treasury, attended to prosecute, and having stated to the magistrate the particulars of the charges he intended to bring against the prisoner, said that after calling two or three witnesses he should have to apply to his worship for a further remand, as it might be found necessary to call Mr. Edwin James as a witness, and it was well known that that learned gentleman was out of town. Sir Richard Bethel!, on whom, (as well as on Mr. James and Mr. Apsley Pellatt, the prisoner bad given written orders, was also out of town, and therefore he (Mr. Pollard) should require a further remand. Mr. G. P. Meaden, e proprietor of the Clapham Gazette, and residing in High-street, Clapham, said that on Monday, the 17th inst., the prisoner called on him, and, representing himself as the secretary to the Society for the Abolition of Imprisonment for Debt, produced a printed slip like that produced, and inquired what his charge would be for 14 in sertions as advertisement ? He (witness) asked him if he was aware that his publication was monthly and not weekly, and the prisoner replied that he was not ; that it had been given to him as a weekly ; but as Parliament would not sit for six months he wished to know what the charge for that time would be ? He told him 50s. and he gave a written order on Sir It. Bethell for that amount, and represented that Sir Richard was both chair man and treasurer to the society, and that Mr. Edwin James was deputy chairman. The prisoner said he had two objects in coming to his, witness's neighbourhood,—ttie one was to give him the ad vertisements, and the other was to procure a room for the purpose of holding the society's meetings, and commissioned him, Mr. Meaden, to procure him a room suitable for such occasions, and whero Sir Richard Bethell would attend as chairman. The prisoner next presented to him the list of sub scribers produced, and asked him to subscribe to the funds of the society, and he put his name down for 55., which he paid him. Mr. Andrew Tempany, the occupier of the houses Nos. 15 and 16, Portsmouth-street, Lincoln's-inn, said that on Aug. 27 the prisoner took an office on the ground floor of Portsmouth-chambers, for the use of the Society for the Abolition of Imprison ment for Debt, of which he said he was the secre tary. The prisoner came backwards and forwards for a week, when he disappeared and had not been seen there since. _ _ Mr. Frederick Gibbons, one of the clerks to Sir Richard Bethell, deposed that he had every reason to believe, both from his own knowledge and also from a communication which he had from Sir Richard, that he was not the chairman, the trea surer, or in any way whatever connected with the society, and knew nothing whatever of the pri soner. Mr. James Cox, landlord of the Oakley-rooms, Manor-street, Chelsea, said that on Saturday, the 15th of September, the prisoner called on him and said he had been sent to him by the editor of one of the local papers. He represented himself as the secretary to the Society for the Abolition of Impri sonment for Debt, and engaged his room for 13 nights for the meetings of the society, saying that Sir R. Bethell, Mr. E. James, and all the principal clergy of the district would meet. The prisoner gave him a written order on Mr. Heneford,-M.P., of No. 5, Sherborne-lane, King-William-street, city, for the payment of the 13 guineas, and he (witness) gave the prisoner half a guinea, and paid it at the time as his subscription to the society. The prisoner was remanded to a future day, Mr. Elliott refusing to accept bail. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING. LONDON, Sept. 27.—Wind this day at noon, S.E., moderate breeze, and cloudy.

This morning 1 saw the de fendant Walker jump off a cab, and the other from the in side. They then left the cab standing alone in Regent street, and walked up Warwick-street. I said to myself, alluding to Walker, " Oh, he's no driver," then spoke to a constable, and drove after the defendants and gave them into custody. Walker—l was about to ask a question, but it's imma terial. We admit the offence as far as he has described it. William Heney, badge 3,306, the driver of the cab, said —I just stepped into a coffee-shop to have a cup of coffee, and on coming out found my cab gone from the stand where I left it in Broad-street, St. Giles's. I gave infor mation at Bow-street, and my cab was brought home by a constable, being much damaged. Walker—lt's immaterial. The fact is, we wanted a cab, and having called for the driver, and, as he did lift come my friend said, " Get in, and I'll drive you." I did so, but after going a little way we didn't knew what to do with it. A constable said the defendants were both drunk. Mr. Beadou—lt is a most improper thing. You might have been charged with stealing the cab. They were liable to all sorts of fines. Walker—lt's immaterial—(laughter) ;—but I hope you willbe lenient. • Mr. Beadon—l shall fine Walker 40s. for driving the cab, and Brown ss. for being drunk. Walker—lCs immaterial—(laughter) ;—but I did not drive the cab; it was Brown. However it's immaterial, so I'll pay the fine. The fines were paid. THAMES. ROBBERY IN THE ST.

The details of the progress of the Prince of Wales present nothing of moment, and are essentially similar t 9 those received by previous arrivals, A telegram f rom L ondon, Canada Test, says :—" At such h point a n oouft outburst t P Prince's g e e e e 's l n progress ‘ t thisas he l Tee! Thewith ') town is alive with illuminated. Twenty t ro hu e o essL s n a s.

The result of the Orange difficulty at Toronto p ro . duced a good effect here, where at first there had been symptoms of the same kind. The torch -lieht procession included some fifteen hundred firemen and several hundred Indians, the latter of whom formed a circle in front of the Prince's hotel —the Tecumseh—and amused him by a war dance in vented for the occasion by one of their number, who is 104 years old. The Prince entertained 20 gentlemen at a state dinner at six o'clock. The demonstrations on the route were very gratifying to him and creditable to the participants. At Guelph and at Stratford he read and replied to ad dresses. A thousand Sunday-school children also greeted him, and sang the National Anthem very beautifully. The duke was much affected, and made a few kind remarks to the little ones, winding up with a kiss to the prettiest of the children. At Guelph the Prince was sung to by 20 young ladies, whom he rewarded by proxy-kissing the daughter of the Mayor for them all. Some wag called out " Largesse," and in fun the members of the suite scattered coins among the rustics, who graciously condueended to pick them up. The Prince left for Sarnia on Tuesday morning, where 500 persons had assembled, and also 200 Ojibbeway Indians from Manitoulin Islands in full costume, painted and feathered. The principal chief delivered an harangue to the Prince, to which the latter replied through the interpreter. The Prince then distributed medals, and the Indians presented his royal highness with a tomahawk, horn and arrows, wampan, &c. The Prince then lunched and viewed the neigh bourhood, and returned to London, where he held a levee, which was numerously attended, and went to a ball in the evening. On Friday the Prince left London for Niagara Falls, which he reached in the evening, having experienced a most gratifying reception in the villages through which he passed. At the Falls the Prince received an address from the magi strates of the county. The Fall was beautifully lighted up with blue lights and Bengal fires, pro. ducing a beautiful effect. On Saturday Blondin was to cross on the rope, the Prince was to inspect the suspension-bridge, and a boat was to be sent over the Falls. It was expected that the royal party would remain at the Falls two or three days. The weather during the week has been cold and wet, but on Saturday it was beautiful and warm. The Prince will go from New Y or k u p th e Hud son, stopping a while at West Point, reaching Albany on the 16th. He goes to Boston on the 17th, in a car fitting up expressly for him, to which will be attached a regal smoking car. Reaching Boston on the 17th, lie will remain until the 19th, getting to Portland on the 20th. The Chicago committee accidentally dropped the fact that there would be given a grand ball to the Prince, where upon the duke said in that case the Prince would not go to Chicago at all, or anywhere, unless they conformed strictly to his programme. He will, after visiting St. Louis, go back to Illinois, and spend four days in grouse shooting. Two horses, which are special favourites of the Prince, have been purchased by some Canadian gentlemen for three thousand dollars, and will be sent to England as a present for the Prince. The Toronto Trader, the government organ, con tradicts the report that Governor-General Head is to leave Canada. It says positively that he will, after a short absence, return and commence a new term of office. GALLANT LIFEBOAT SERVICES. The following is a copy of a report that has been forwarded to the Royal National Lifeboat Institu tion detailing the very important services rendered by the. Ramsgate lifeboat, in conjunction with the Commissioners' steam tug, in rescuing during a heavy gale of wind the crew of nine men of the barque Linda, of Whitby, stranded on the North Sand Head of the Goodwin Sands, on Monday night, and on Tuesday morning the crew of 13 men of the Swedish barque Ariel, of Gottenburg, which was found dismasted :—" Ramsgate-harbour, Tuesday, Noon.--Last night, at 11 o'clock, it then blowing a strong gale from the north-east with rain, several signal guns were fired from the Gull Lightship. The weather at the time being thick with rain, we were unable to observe the rockets. The Northumberland lifeboat was immediately manned, and at about 11.30 p.m. we proceeded in tow of the harbour steamer towards the Goodwin Sands. On our way out we observed the flashes of guns and rockets from the North Sand Head, to which direction we at once shaped our course. On nearing the sand we saw tar-barrels burning and other lights displayed from a vessel. We soon aftei• discovered her to be on shore on the North Sand Head. We then steered for her, and approached within nine fathoms of water; there being a terrific sea at the time, it was as near as we could ap proach with safety. We then slipped the lifeboat, and she proceeded through the heavy seas in grand . style, and when within hail of the vessel we let go our anchor just to windward of her. Lifeboatman Henry Venion, at this time, was unfortunately washed overboard by a very heavy sea ; he was, however, providentially saved by the lifelines sus pended round the lifeboat. We then sheered along side the vessel. She being in shallow water the lifeboat was obliged to beat over the sand to her. On arriving alongside she proved to be the barque Linda, of Whitby, Jarvis master, from Middles borough for Alexandria, with railway iron, about 300 tons burden. The crew, nine in number, immediately jumped on board the lifeboat. We then secured the cable to the starboard bow to give her a sheer, then set the foresail and gave her a spring off with the cable, which afterwards we were obliged to slip ; we then run to leeward and joined the Vulcan steamtug, it blowing at this time a very heavy gale S,S.E., the wind having shifted since we boarded her. We then returned for the harbour, where we arrived about 3 30 this morning and landed the crew in safety. The master of the stranded vessel on landing informed us that he thought that there would be a chance of her coming off. We accordingly proceeded out again to herhelp about half-past 4 this morning ; we arrived along side at daylight, and found her full of water. On looking round the sand we observed another vessel on shore en the off part North Sand Head, when. the Gull Light immediately fired. We then pro ceeded round the North Sand Head, and shaped our course along the edge of the sand. On nearing the vessel we saw the crew on her decks, her three masts having gone.

IMPROVEMENTS IN CLARE-MARKET. —A most useful undertaking is now in progress in the vicinity of Clare -market. A row of houses In the market abutting upon Clement's-lane are being converted to several philan thropic purposes, as a refuge for children and adults, for instruction and amusement. The whole expense is esti mated at £250, which the originator, the Rev. C. M. Robins, the minister of Clare-market Chapel, is endea vouring to coil; ct. Miss Burdett Coutta has forwarded a handsome subscription. ACCIDENT ON THE BIRKENHEAD STREET RAlL wAy.—Oct Sunday afternoon last, a serious accident oc curred to John Daniels, a boy 10 years of age, by one of the Birkenhead street railway cars running over him at the end of Victoria-street, near the entrance to Claughton park. The boy was in the act of jumping on the step in front of the car, when he unfortunately missed his foot ing, and, falling backwards, one of the wheels of the vehicle passed over his left leg, which sustained a severe compound fracture. The young sufferer was promptly removed to the a hospital in Hamilton-street, where it was found ne.ce n ss w to amputate the limb at the knee joint.

Wu i'" of the boy, 1.R0.2V-CAST,D SII2P- It is extremely undesirable that the publi c m i n d should be kept any longer in suspense on the sub ject of iron-cased ships. That question involves the preservation of our maritime power, and with it the safety of the nation. The French have solved ' it one way ; we, if not utterly apathetic in the matter, appear to have solved it in another. One: must be right, and one wrong.. i. the mistake is on our side, we may lose the com mand of the seas for such a time as would place our trade at the mercy of an enemy. The question, in . fact, in its broadest form, is nothing less than this' —whether a certain ship of war recently con-2 strutted by the French is not of such a build that no ship in the British navy can stand against it? We are certainly not quite prepared, even vet, to answer that question with an unqualified affirma tive, but the information we have received, coupled with the professional opinions put on record in onr columns, induces us to believe that the new invention is really a mos t i mpor t ant matter. e experiments •ur Adrn Admiralty y many authorities months have av paste been e n e i n u conducting. ct ing capa city of i ron for repelling cannon shot.

Acting apparently on this conclusion, which, thus stated, is probably sound, our naval authorities have continued to build wooden ships I y p a s p s r e o d : e a l s ai b m e f e o d re i h w a h t i l t e h e th d e ay F r o e f n c s h u c h h av f e abr e i x e u s 1 t h i n a fs s away, andthat of which h the command of taheseas will presentfollow a new invention posses s the only example. Can that assumption be recon ciled with the results of our own experiments ? We think it can, and that here lies the whole secret of the case. The French have not constructed an absolutely invulnerable ship, but they have built a frigate which is less vulnerable, and therefore propor tionately more powerful than any vessel in the British Navy. IVe do not believe that the sides of the Gloire would repel cannon shot much more ef fectually than the sides of our own target-ships. As these were pierced, so would those be ; but this admission leaves a great deal still to be said for the French frigate. Our experimental targets were battered by the very heaviest guns—such as few ships carry excepting here and there on a pivot. These guns were fired at the very shortest ranges —such as could not necessarily be commanded in a naval action. Their effects, again, were not pro duced immediately, nor until after the target had resisted for a certain length of time. Apply these facts to the case before us, and what do they prove ? They prove that an iron-cased frigate might engage an enemy, however powerful, with impunity to herself, for perhaps some 10 or 15 minutes, whereas that time might be sufficient with modern artillery for the decision of a battle. They prove that, except when opposed by such guns as are not always carried at sea, and are rarely found on. shore, such a vessel would be practically invul e ifawnmonereypreaae:abndniteeittle,aronaguaabongbl antagonist t thba h aele a fdt: her b h e yer sidess m i thoughge rmi choosingl mercy. ya e ys. she t nThoei advantage The range, bGel o Gloire, rbe o s,t f oo ti s uh p hte e oer e ll eya d_ might possibly be overpowered in open fight by a first class frigate, frigate, may be still conceived to possess advan tages of no trilling kind. To nine ships out of ten, in ninetem cases out of twenty, she might be perfectly unassailable ; she might lie alongside a shore battery and sweep the artillerymen from their guns ; in the worst of cases she would have the first five minutes of the battle to herself; and, above all, though not proof against the heaviest shot, she would be proof against shell. None of those terrible projectiles could find their way through her plated sides, and the value of this P' iroteCtion will have been seen from the communi cation of " A Captain, R.N.," which we published on Monday. This, it seems to us, is the true solution of the enigma before us. Our authorities appear to have proceeded on the assumption that marine armour was good for nothing unless it could be preyed ab solutely perfect, and as they found no iron plates through which, in the long run, and under condi tions of their own arrangement, they could not suc ceed in driving a hole, they jumped to the conclu sion that the invention was a fallacy, and that the French were building upon a false security. They forgot that there might be a good deal in the 117 W theory, even if there were not quite so much as our neighbours imagined, and that an iron-cased frigate, without being actually invulnerable, might nevertheless possess a formidable superiority over a vessel built of wood. Even imperfect armour may be better than no armour at all. If a species of tunic could be invented which would protect a soldier from a rifle:bullet unless he were struck once or twice in the same place, and from a very short distance, we should certainly think tho discovery important, and should hasten to provide our troops with the new garment of its not being altogether ball-proof. We must not, however, exclude from our survey certain points which still remained to be considered. Speed must be a vital element in the question, for superiority in speed means choice of range, and choice of range means command of the field. Give an iron-cased ship this choice, and it is agreed on all sides that she is mistress of the sea. Give it to t her antagonist, and she may find her armour of no avail. Are we to conclude that a vessel cumbered with all these tons of iron can be as swift, of course `ceteris paribus, as one carrying no such weight ? Supposing that of two ships one took out her ton nage in armour and the other in armament—that one had such heavy casing that she could carry no large guns, and the other such heavy guns that she coald carry no casing—which would have the ad vantage? Again, are we rightly informed that an iron-clad vessel, though more secure than a wooden one at the beginning of an engagement, is far less so as the engagement advances ? We are told that when the metal shell of these new ships has with e been cracked it is all over with them a t nd a : wve every soul on board, whereas heart smashing and riddling without being very well know, will take a prodigioeufs eam worse for it. too, must all be • ts These, and perhaps other poin matter is really taken into consideration; but the _ now arrived e e n xa la ct i l a ve ° m uch u n n i t t u l of s e t needsin-g e urgent, tt,h think k d t h t a i t m time our r s ye know not how to at some conclusion, and yet 1 _ down understand it.

Still, as there may be evidence of an - opposite character yet unrevealed, we might feel no great uneasiness were it not for the bad name wl • earned in matte rs of this kind. When we recollect that sailing ships were built in our dockyards for years after steam had become a palpable necessity, we cannot be sure that wooden ships will not be built long after the scale has preponderated in favour of iron. This is the • point at which we have got into such scrapes. W e short of the article wanted, but heavily stocked with that which has become obsolete. We go on the old paths too long, and are then driven to tremendous efforts before we can recover ourselves. If we had commenced even in January last to build iron-cased frigates, not as an extraordinary investment of our money, but simply with the available funds of the current year, we should already have been abreast of our neighbours; but if we allow them again to get two or three years' start of us, we shall find our yards once More encumbered with useless fabrics, and all our work requiring to be done anew in the alarm and extravagance of a panie.—Tinzes.
