REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS, For the Year ending 30th June, 1869, read at the Annual General Meeting of Proprietors, 13th August, 1869, WILLIAM FREDERICK DE LA RUE, Ese., Deputy- Chairman of the Company, in the Chair. The Report which the directors have now to submit to the proprietor differs in its tenor but little save in one or two particular from that laid before them in 1868. no income of the year, it will Le seen, amounts t £540,499 18s., and the total charge to £445,077 I.os. 9d The difference, £95,422 7s. 3d., added to the balance of the surplus fund at the commencement of the financial year, raised that item to £1,002,974135. 9d., its present amount.

The interest from investments is £120,959 12s. 101, or £4 2s. per cent. on the net amount of the company's realised assets existing in June, 1868 ; and in connection with this important feature of the company's affairs the directors have the satisfaction of reporting that the profit and loss account again exhibits a considerable profit, amounting this year within a trifle to the sum of £48,000. It may be remembered that a profit of nearly equal amount was announced in last year's report. - Turning to the items constituting the charge of the year, it will be noticed that the sum payable in satisfac tion of claims on decease of lives assured is larger than usual. This circumstance, however, is not very material; as was observed oa a previous occasion, the proper quin quennial average is generally pretty sure to obtain, and the fact that the average for the past two years barely ex ceeds £309,000 tends to confirm that statement. The expenses of management. are greeter by nearly £BOO than they were last year. They would have been materially less but for the unavoidable cost of transferring the company's securities into the names of additional trus tees. Taken as they are, however, these expenses must be regarded as very moderate. It will be observed that they are:only three per cent. of the total income. BALANCE-SHEET. JUNE 30, 1869. Dn.

Don't we all know the old proverb, which tells us in the first line, " Convince a fool against his will," and then adds defiantly—" He's of the same opinion still." But the proverb admits of modification. Applying thecouplet, not to a fool, but to a clever man actuated by feelings of cold-blooded malignity, you will find that the obstinate and implacable pertina city with which that clever man, on being .convinced against his will, clings, to the very last, to his first opinion, is just as astounding. We can only com pare this impertinence of judgment, as we may term it, to the dogged resolution with the man, seated astride on the sign, with his face to the inn -wall, in IloGAnnt's picture, holds on to it with a blind confidence, while the saw frets its way through the very beam upon which he is seated! Let the Malignant be one whose argu ment, to begin with, amounts to nothing less than a slander of the most infamous kind, wholly unsup ported by any evidence whatever, and a slander, moreover, which is directed against those who are dead, and who, therefore, cannot by any possibility defend themselves, and the impenitence of his judgment, where the case is proved dead against him, becomes we may be certain more than ever conspicuous. It has been, it continues to be, precisely thus with the Saturday Review, in its shameful persistence through thick and thin, in insisting in defiance of facts, and dates, and documents of unimpeachable authenticity, that Mrs. STOWE'S foul and monstrous libel is, for all that, to be maintained and justified. The most flagrant illustration of this really malignant imper tinence on the part of the ono otherwise emi nent newspaper, which has condescended to defend per fas et nefas the slanderous imputations directed by Mrs. BEECHER STOWE against Lord BYRON and the HOD. AUGUSTA LElGH—the most flagrant illustration of its impertinence, yet afforded by the Saturday Review in this matter, is presented to public view in its impression of to-day, in a brief, stubborn, and, from first to last, most illogical article, headed "Lord BYRON and the Academy." The Academy is no other, of course, than the new literary organ, started only a few days since by Mr. MURRAY, of Albemarle Street, and the very first contribution appearing in the first number of which, was a document, the authentication of which the Saturday Review itself admits, in so many words, to be complete ! What is that document ? It is a paper drawn up by Lord BYRON in 1817, when he was residing at Vienna or its immediate neighbourhood. It was given by him to MATTHEW GREGORY LEWIS, commonly called MONK LEWIS, who died in the year afterwards under rather suspicious circumstances [it was supposed that he was poisoned by a black slave to whom he had promised emancipation] the very year afterwards. In this document Lord BYRON protests again —we have it now under his authenticated hand-writing and sig nature—that he implored to the very last for an in vestigation a public and searching investiga tion as to the causes of the separation ! In it he declares that, to the moment of his writing the document, he was left in entire ignorance as to 1, whatever these causes might be. In it he besought Lady BYRON and her friends in the most moving terms to allow the deed of separation to be cancelled, so that the whole matter might be in quired into, and the trutb, whatever it was, dragged to the light of day in an open court of law. All this we have, in this completely authenticated document, written by the hand of Lord BYRON and signed with his undeniable autograph. The document itself is now in the safe keeping of ?Jr. MURRAY. It can be produced. Yet it goes for nothing in the estimation of the impenitent and implacable Saturday Review. The whole thing is swept asi de with the flippant inquiry —" Are we to believe Lord BYRON or Lady BYRON?" To• which we would reply at once by another inquiry—Where is there adducible any opposing document in Lady BYRON'S handwriting, and autheniticated by her signature ? Produce a document of that kind, and then ask, if you will, " Are we to believe Lord BYRON or Lady BYRON ?" Though even, then, the simple, unsupported accusation of Lad, Byßox would have to be supported by some fiimmering of ccr roborative evidence of some kill or another—for the whole force of the argument gainst her is that she was suffering under an aberrtion of judgment that she was fired by a craze, thatshe was labouring under a frightful and wholly unjutifiable hallucina tion. Besides, as the Edinburgh Zeview says, in the newly published number, only jus . out (No. 266, for this present October)—" Whatevr may be said or thought of Lord BYRON, it seems b us impossible to convict or even suspect a lady like Ars. LEIGH of a foul and unnatural offence on such eidence as that of Mrs. BEECHER STowE." So say re. The Saturday Review thinks otherwise. It seenmgly gloats over this atrocious attempt to blast thcreputation of a lady like Mrs. LEIGH," though that poor lady's dust is lying helplessly in her pave, though her honour is still very near and verydear to the hearts of her living and breathing grandchildret I TIIE new cry for Reciprocity n Free Trade has been taken up in earnest by the two leading Conser vative journals, and it seems not improbable that a serious stand may shortly be mate on that ground. The new school of economists iisclaim all idea of Protection proper; that corps:, has been too long buried to be exhumed now; but it is urged that if we in Enghnd adopt Free Trade, other nations ought to meet us in a similar spirit. If we lower our tariffs, our neighbours ought to lower theirs. England, it is argued, ought not to afford French manufacturers advantages which France only partially returns ; American commodities ought not to be admitted here on such easy terms, whilst English nro4ucls are uala “.• VA{ tau. ~ /11 4.110 LULL A.) WACO° Such is the reciprocity doctrine ; but • a glance is sufficient to shew that it presents no element of novelty, that it is, in fact, merely the old fallacy in a new dress. It is, indeed, suffi ciently obvious that reciprocal trading if it could be brought about would be highly advantageous ; for if Free Trade be a good thing, the wider the area over which it extends the greater must be its benefits. But though a nation can deal with its own duties at will, it has no power to bring about a reduction in the tariffs of other States. It may exhort, and its example may lead to imitation—as the example of England is gradually doing ; but if another Government persists in maintaining a high scale of duties, there is no help for it. All that could be done would be to pay the illiberal States in their own coin, and to exact high duties upon the commodities of those nations which demanded high duties upon ours. This is, in fact, the very course which the Recipro cityadvoacbateandsoandmviesnet of ; bu t t he it involves nothing less than the principles and a return to the obsolete practice of ofProtection. Free Trade High duties are still the rule in most countries. Free Trade is spreading rapidly; but it is yet a young doctrine, and its development is far from complete. Even those States which have begun to favour a liberal trade policy, such as France, are still far in the rear of this country. It is clear, then, that an attempt to enforce Reciprocity would involve a total remodelling of the trade system of Britain, un less foreign countries unanimously remodelled theirs, which is far from probable at present. Nor would such Reciprocity be real, for it would be impossible in practice to meet the commercial policy of many different countries by a similar policy on our part ; to grant a liberal tariff to one, a moderate scale to another, and to deal stingily with a third. And even if such a wretched course were practicable, it would not be advantageous. The advocates of Reciprocity seem to overlook altogether the truth which forms the funda mental principle of Free Trade—that a low tariff benefits most the country which adopts it. In other words, we derive more profit from lowering our own duties than from a reduction of imposts on the part of our neighbours. A liberal English tariff benefits the whole English people by attracting the cheapest and best products from all parts of the world. A liberal French tariff can benefit (directly) only those English manaactures which find a market in France. This latter is an important considera tion, certainly ; but is it of such importance as the former ? The essence of Protection is the sacrifice of the interests of the many to the interests of the few Reciprocity would have the same result. There can, therefore; be no doubt as to the character of the new doctrine, though it may appear harmless, and on paper even laudable. Protection has come back to us "like a thief from transportation," under the guise of Reci procity, and it must be dealt with accordingly. FAR more important and disquieting than the Republican rising in Spain are the constant disputes and collisions between the poorer orders and the authorities in France. Notwithstanding the material concessions made since last July, the working classes are EMPEROR'S Government, either still atwar rfrom industrial withh t or e political causes, or from the combination of both. Popular commotion prevails in every part of the country. There are strikes in half a dozen different places at once. The other day all the hands in a large coal pit at Aubin turned out in a body, other pits followed the example, and soon a raging mob of 600 men, with women and children, pro ceeded to assault their superior officers and destroy the works. A night's reflection did not calm the temper of the malcontents ; the next morning they assailed a detachment of soldiers, fought with iron bars and stones, and left thirty killed and wounded on the field. It will naturally be presumed that the grievance which led many hundred workmen to engage in this deadly strife was of the most serious character. Nothing of the kind : the first journal in France assures us that the men demanded nothing but the dismissal of an overseer, who had offended them in some way—they knew not how. Coming to Paris we find political agitation still rife. The workmen and the firebrands who practice upon their ignorance and credulity have lately held several public meetings, at all of which the most violent attacks upon the Imperial Government have been indulged in, and one of which degenerated into a riot. The name of • the police prefect had been taken in vain, and the agent present dissolved the meeting. The meeting, however, refused to be dissolved, and a scuffle between the police and .the "citizens," who formed the audience, was the result. Then the mob adopted one of those expedients which an English crowd would never think of, but which the wit of Frenchmen constantly turns to account. A. young man got upon a shutter, and pre tended to be dead or wounded. He was carried about the streets amid the excited cries of a large and rapidly-increasing multitude. The fun ceased only when a sagacious sergent de vile pricked the dead man with the point of his rapier and awakened him to life. Such is a single sp e ci me n of the riotous freaks to which the Paris p o p u l ace is esp now. They are la ug h a bl e i n some respects, but they ecially prone just show that a dangerous spirit is rising in France—the spirit which destroyed the Government in 1830 and in 1848, though it may have no such effect upon the firmly-knit second Empire. And mad as these riots are, they are not wholly without explanation. There is even something to be said on behalf of the workmen who indulge in mysterious strikes, for hand-labourers in France have smaller gains than in England, and they are, moreover, very rigidly treated by the law. Blood, too, is shed more freely across the channel; very little is required to induce a column of French soldiers to dis charge their chassepols. This severity seems partly to explain, though not to excuse, the irritation which every now and then breaks out amongst the artisans of the "fair land." In politics the Government un doubtedly lays itself open to tae charge of inconsis tency. It gives with one hand and takes away with the other. It allows public meetings to be held, but a police agent is present at each, watches every action and lakes in every word, dissolving the meeting—often on very frivolous pre texts—if anything obnoxious le said. The EMPEROR may, indeed, be pardoned fir hesitating to grant the Paris Republicans unbridled licence of public meeting. Much more than freedom of writing has freedom of speech contributed to the overthrow of French Governments. We all know how the sectional meetings in 1789 overawed the States-General, and virtually ruled France. But to grant the right of public meeting, and to post a police-officer in each assembly, with unlimited power of interference can only produce irritation. A. restric tion so galling utterly neutralises the value—to the French—of the boon. IJ HER MAJESTY. BALMORAL CASTLE, Oct. 14.

POLICE RAID ON A LIVERPOOL BETTING HOUSE.—OR Wednesday afternoon a body of the Liverpool police made . a descent upon a betting rendezvous known as the Alliance Club Room. In the provinces, settling on past big races usually takes place the day following, and the police know ing this had predetermined to make their raid on the day succeeding the Cesarewitch. About 150 persons were as sembled at the moment the police made their entrance, and all those against whom warrants had been previously issued were secured and marched off to Bridewell, and detained there until the following day, when they were brought up at the police court and remanded. MISHAP TO TILE SUEZ CANAL According to information received by the Austria from Alexandria the part of the canal between Suez and the Bitter Lakes was to have been so far completed by the 15th of August that the festival of Napoleon might be celebrated by letting in the waters of the Red Sea. The event did not realise the expectations that had been entertained. Indeed, the company were threatened witb a great danger, which might have cost them millions, and delayed even the rough completion of the undertaking now aimed at, for some months. The dry works, it is true ) were finished on the 14th August, and the water of the Red Sea was let into the canal at Suez. The dam, however, which was to regulate the flow of the water and prevent the current becoming rapid enough to injure the sides of the canal gave way. Fortunately the second dike held, and was sufficient to prevent any serious damage being done. Still a good deal of material has been lost. The Bitter Lakes are of course filling more rapidly than was intended, but there is reason to fear that the strength of the current may wash away the banks, and render a great deal of deepening necessary. BITING OFF A CAT'S TAIL. A German paper states that on the 29th ult. the police court at Barmen was much crowded, in consequence of two gentlemen in the neighbourhood being summoned—one of them charged with biting part of a cat's tail off, the other with assisting his companion by holding the cat during the process. The prosecution was instituted by the Society for the Protection of Animals at Wupperthal. It appeared that one of the defendants had laid a wager in a pothouse that he would bite off a portion of the tail of the landlord's cat, and accordingly carried out his intention. The accused protested in court that they had acted with the best inten tions—they were fully persuaded that a reduction in the length of her tail would not only not injure the animal, but would greatly conduce to her comfort and con venience.. This view was supported by a veterinary - --nduced in court as a witness in their favour. They were nevertheless lima twenty dollars, on the ground that the biting off of cats' tails is not recommended in any scientific institution where the treatment of animals is taught ; that the act in question was one of wanton brutality, and utterly repugnant to humanity. DEATH OF AN ACTOR F 100.31 CHLOROFORM. On Friday evening Mr. Langham, held an inquest at Charing-cross Hospital on the body of Mr. Charles Verner, aged 39, an actor, connected with the London theatres, who died on Monday last, in the hospital, while under the influence of chloroform, administered preparatory to his undergoing a surgical operation. Mrs. Elizabeth Verner said the deceased, her husband, had been an in-patient of the hospital for the last three months, labouring under a disease of the jaw. His sufferings were of the most acute character. It was at the joint request of herself and the deceased that the operation was to be performed. She was aware that chloroform was to be adminis tered previous to the operation, and neither herself nor her husband would have allowed the operation to have been performed without it. They were made fully aware of the danger attending the operation, but were prepared to have it done at all hazards, the sufferings of deceased were so great. Mr. Edwin Canton, M.R.C.S., and surgeon to the hospital, said the deceased had been under his care for several weeks past, suffering from a malignant disease of the upper jaw-bone. It was a disease likely to prove fatal, and from the progress made by it, the death of the deceased must have taken place in a few weeks. He suggested that an operation should bo per formed, with the very faint hope of a cure, at the same time informing the deceased and his wife of the great danger attending it; but they replied they should wish it to be performed at all risks. Every care had been taken to prepare the deceased for the operation. The chloroform was skilfully and pro perly administered in his presence, and that of several of his colleagues, by Mr. Peter Marshall, the regular chloro formist of the hospital. Within two minutes of the chlo roform being administered, the patient fell back and died. The galvanic apparatus, and all other appliances used in cases of this sort, were at once resorted to, but life was extinct. No attempt had been made to perform the operation. He considered the use of chloroform one of the risks incidental in cases of operations. Before the chloro form was administered it had been ascertained that the deceased was free from any heart disease. The jury returned the verdict, " That the deceased lost his life by the administration of chloroform, but that the chloroform had been skilfully and properly administered." The directors of the Evangelical Alliance have determined on holding their conference fur the present year at Derby. The business will commence on.the morn ing of Tuesday, November 23, and last for seven days. The authorities of Christ Church, Oxford, are constructing a reading room for the use of the college servants of the society. The example set by the Dean of Christ Church will doubtless be followed by other colleges at Oxford. THE BISHOP OF OXFORD'S RESIGNATION.—The Bishop of Oxford will deliver a charge to the clergy in various parts of his diocese, commencing on Thursday, the 11th of November. Shortly after his visitation he will be translated to the see of Winchester. Mr. Sheriff Barclay granted a warrant on Thursday on the application of Mr. Robertson, of Dundounachie, in terdicting the servants of the Duke of Athole from molesting or otherwise annoying Mr. Robertson, while passing the toll-house on Dunkeld Bridge. The Rev. Samuel Deny has been appointed to the rectory of Pensthorpe, near Pakenham, vacant by the death of the Rev. H. Dugmore. The living is described by the Clergy List as being worth only £5O a year, with twelve in habitants and no church. It is stated that the Home Secretary has directed the release from custody of Mr. Shipman, who was committed by the Court of Bankruptcy to a year's imprisonment in respect of certain speculations during his management of the Agra and Masterman's bank. Mr. Shipman had served only half of his term, of imprisonment. LEIGH MINT'S ESSAYS.—In connection with the Leigh Hunt Memorial,which is to be uncovered at Kensal green on Tuesday, it has been decided upon issuing a volume of charming papers written by this author. The book will be entitled " A Tale for a Chimney Corner, and other Essays," selected and edited by the author's personal friend, Mr. Edmund Oilier. MR. BRIGHT AND THE DoGS.—The President of the Board of Trade was lately staying with some friends who are not usually ranked as Liberals. In the course of conversation one evening, one of them said, "Mr. Bright, you ought to put a duty of 20s. on dogs." The right hon. gentleman paused for a foment, and then replied, " Yes, but it is the rich man's dog that barks at me !" The rich man said no more, and we presume the poor man's dog had a chance for its existence so far as Mr. Bright is concernes. A BROTHERLY INFORMANT.—OR Thursday the body of a woman was found in the canal, Blast-lane, Shef field. It appeared to have been in the water about a week, decomposition having just commenced. A great many per sons identified the body as being their respective relative, but all afterwards confessed their error. Amongst others, a man said it was his brother's wife. He appeared much affected, and went to his brother's house to inform him. On arriving there, however, he found the supposed deceased had not yet risen, and was in good health. A SEAL IN THE THAMES.—A few weeks ago a seal (Phoca vitulina) wandered as far as Putney, and was shot ; but, as is usual with seals shot in deep water, it sank, and was not seen again. A less fortunate adventurer, however, met with a different fate. About eight o'clock in the evening, a man belonging to a barge, lying between Woolwich and Purfleet, was startled by a peculiar noise in the water. At first he thought it was a man overboard, but from the peculiarity of the noise, and finding no response to his challenge, he armed himself with a gun and watched the spot from whence the sound emanated. He saw a figure moving about in shallaw water, and immediately fired. The result was the discovery of a fine seal, measuring 3ft. 51in. The seal is now in the pos session of_Mr. James Ward, of Harley-mews south, who is engaged in preserving it, and when ready it will bo exhibited in his father's establishment, 2, Vero-street, Oxford-street. TERRIFIC BOILER EXPLOSION IN NORTIIIIMBER LAND.—On Thursday afternoon there was a terrific boiler explosion at the saw-mills and workshops attached to the well-known collieries belonging to Messrs. Lamb and part ners, at Cramlington, Northumberland. The boiler had been out of use three days untlergoing repair, and exploded while the engine-man was getting up the steam. Large por tions of the boiler were hurled a distance of from three to four hundred yards, and the pipes much further. The saw mills were reduced to ruins, and the workshops were also greatly injured. Edward Shields, a mason, who had gone into the firehole to light his pipe, was killed on the spoirtnd Anthony Caddy and James Roberts, work men, who were struck by the flying material, are so much injured that they are not likely to recover. Some of the pitmen's cottages were greatly damaged by the explosion, but the families escaped. A horse, however, belonging to Mr. Storey, butcher, which was standing at a cottage door while its master was delivering meat, was struck by a piece f fiteAni pipe p 4 VISIT OP THE PRINCE DP TVALPS 5 10 CHESTER. The Prince of Wales' visit to Chester has put the inhab i l tants of the cathedral city in a ferment of loyal enthll--, siasm. He was received at the station by the Bishop, the y dean, and the clergy, in all the glory of their most " shovre robes ; and by the corporation, as representing a peo ple who seemed everyone to be present. Lord Grosvenor, was also present, and Mr. Gladstone received his Royal Highness. The reporters say that the Premier looke d . stronger and healthier than he has done for manY year, and seemed to have lost the careworn exPr ee sion which his friends noticed with regret during t he past session. A procession moving through streets mee t successfully illuminated took the Prince to his hotel on Thursday evening. On Friday morning, soon after break" fast a small and early party went to the Grosvenor ifotelri to present, as representatives of the county, a dut iful address to the Earl of Chester, by which title the Prin ce is to be chiefly known during his stay. The composit i° was more than usually commonplace, and was silently Pr' sented by the Lord-Lieutenant. Lord de Tabby ne xt handed the Prince an address from the Freemasons. It wail presented by "the worshipful provincial grand ma ster, provincial grand officers, worshipful masters, and bret hren of this province." This is the first time the Freemaso ns of England have publicly addressed the Prince. In the course of their address they said:—" We desire to exp rege to your Royal Highness the high gratification Ala. we have felt by the accession of your Royal Highness to e t t , ancient Order, and we pray that the sanction and suPr " given to Freemasonry by so many members of your El Highness's family, and more especially by our rov er brother, the father of our most gracious and beloved Queen, may be continued by your Royal Ilighoe y ' so that the pure principles of our order and it beneficent action may be more and more widely eY tended." At noon, with the first appearance of sunshi ne! the procession of the day started from the Grace- 11°r , Hotel. It consisted of a detachment of yeomanrY, the civic carriages, an escort of yeomanry, and'-two royal e ' er , rlnzeg. Th. route was planned to take in the eln e thoroughfares, and allow the P r i nce t o see! for himself th e trouble the inhabitants had taken to make the city th e t thing of beauty it is. Within the park a Sunday-01°a', demonstration was made. Seven thousand boys and girig'' representing all denominations, were ranged, as a border, sometimes three deep, on each aide of the round the entire park. As the Prince a n party drove slowly between these bodies, the schools, h / f ' turn sung the well-known piece, " God bless the Prince ° Wales." The Prince had a smile for the fluttering young entha. siasts as he passed, and they had wild hurrahs for hint° shrill and clear as bell notes. As a matter of fact, the contest arose between singing and hurrahing, the had decidedly the best of it, so far as sheer force was °-1 corned. The numerous seats around the space be f o re,eri the Town Hall were cemfortably filled. The soldi er! and volunteers formed three sides of a eq n ,,`"; and their band, played the National Anthem " ci ' l the royal party appeared. The Prince rode with 1 " 1 Constance Grosvenor by his side, and Lord Grosvenor the Lord Egerton opposite. Previous to their arrival at Town Hall Lord de Tabley, Lord Wenlock, Lord W. C f r bell, Lord R. Grosvenor, Lord Ebury, Sir Watkin S V Sir E. Cust, Mr. Mrs., and Miss Gladstone, and othe r tinguished guests, had driven up in private carriages, anjta were now waiting on the steps to receive the Prince' r address was read by the Recorder, on behalf of the I";°,. and Corporation. To it the Prince read the following rer l —" I thank you for your address, and for your heartY come, connected as I am with your city by a title h en o r so ancient a date. It has possessed a peculiar claim °a l/ interest, and I have long looked forward to an opPor tn°l o o, which would make me better acquainted with' 300 town and its inhabitants.

I beg you to believe that '00: not less proud than my predecessors were to hold th e , t he titles combined, and to regard with the same interesl t he anion of feeling and good will which exist be tweeo o io County Palatine and the Principality." There were, l t i l e cheers as the Prince, concluding, formally declared(' the Chester;Town Hall opened. The band play ed, an Prince and party were then conducted by the MaY'ooo.4 the Council Chamber, where several distinguish ed g _ ro a were assembled. Addresses were then handed, Paw, to the Prince from the Nonconformists , de tics, and Episcopalians of the city, They all their dared their attachment to the Throne, and expresso" " best wishes for the future of the Prince and his fo r ~ co Elie Nonconformists spoke of the virtues, of the Ist° 1 the 'lonsort, and hoped his children would inherit the n ' ; cl ing Catholics declared that loyalty to the Throne was a fc di g which religion had planted in their hearts, an d s „ase which they had learned to ground upon firm , bo de n° sacred motives. To these addresses the Piinee n f ir tip reply, and the documents were taken charge of by du ring Knollys.

In reply to t ' s " for 2f his health the Prince said :—" I had long I°° , , k° ; * rea ward to this visit, and am glad my wish has o° w. 1 ; 0 00 . t ig- Used. lam glad also to have this opportunity °,‘ CO ing you and all the inhabitants of Chester for th' of gr eat . reception I have met with.
