STEAM DISTILLATION. It always gives us pleasure to see the inge nuity and science of individuals rewarded by suc cess. When Sir Humphry Davy directed the resources of his great mind to the discovery of a means for protecting human life from the cala mities to which it was so frequently exposed by the explosion of fire-damp in the coal-mines of Newcastle, nothing could be more gratifying than the production of the safety-lamp, under the in fluence of which the poor collier could follow his avocation in perfect confidence of the protec tion it afforded him. In like manner, when the inventions of Watt were applied to navigation, and the mariner was at length conducted through storms which no sailing craft would willingly have faced, the triumph of science seemed to have attained a height which its most ardent admirers seemed scarcely ever to have anticipated. Ac counting ourselves among the humblest of these, it was nevertheless our fortune to be called upon lately to examine a new and very unexpected application of the same principle in the manu facture of spirits, which is now carried on to a considerable extent at the distillery of Mr. Stein, in the village of Kirkliston. The machinery re quired, though apparently complicated, is con structed on a very simple principle ; by means of which, the vapour rising from the distilled wash is brought into immediate contact with the va pour of water, and is thus purified of all the oily matter with which common whisky is in ge neral so loaded, and to free it of which so much labour and expense is incurred by the distiller, and very often incurred itt vain. The spirit pro duced is consequently so superior in quality that it may be compared to the best small still whisky produced in the Highlands. This fact we took the first opportunity of putting to the test. Mr. Stein had the goodness to present us with a bottle of this spirit which had been manufactured only ten days before, and having occasion to dine the same day where a party of thirty gen tlemen were assetnbled, we gave Mr. Barry our bottle and desired him to introduce it when asked for, which we did by telling the preses that we were anxious for the opinion of the company on a bottle of whisky of an extraordi nary age ; and the reader may be sure that it gratified us not a little to find, that every indi vidual present pronounced it excellent but some what strong, (it was 15° over proof) declaring that if it were not from Glenlivet it must cer- tainly have been brought from the West • High lands. A more satisfactory opinion of the merits of steam distillation we do not think could easily be obtained. But it is not alone in the goodness of the spirit that we rejoice at the success of this invention ; it is also because the very best spirit can now be brought into the market at a price which will completely put an end to illicit distil lation. If the small still whisky, which can only be obtained by a prolonged process, ill adapted to any thing like commercial pursuits, and which is encouraged alone by the superi o rity o f the article produce and the high price it consequently commands in the market, can be fully equalled in quality by the production of the legal distiller, there will be an end of its manufacture. This newly invented process we therefore regard as an object deeply interesting to Government, and as the means of removing one of the principal sources of demoralization and crimes in the North of Scotland.—Caledonian Mercury. In countries where camels are bred in great numbers land carriage is almost as cheap as that by water. The carriage, for instance, of a camel-load of goods, weighing from 600 to 700 pounds, from Bagdad to Aleppo, a distance of 600 miles, is 41. BALKAN MOUNTAINS.—As we advanced this day (Bth of April, 1827) we passed over and by se veral mountains, whose summits were covered with im mense masses of marble and granite, in such incongruous and fantastic forms, as quite to bewilder the imagination in trying to account fur their being so placed and thrown together. Sometimes a huge square block, flanked by taller and smaller pieces, resembling a feudal castle, perch ed upon a height, and frowning down with its battlements upon the passes. Sometimes a large rock, curiously ba lanced upon another, looked as if it could be thrust down by the efforts of a pigmy into the plains, and made to crush every thing in its fall. Here a block placed upon a kind of plateau, looked for all the world like some huge tortoise upon a dish ; and there were other masses which resembled men's heads and hands, and birds and beasts, in all imaginable postures and situations. In abort, it was a perfect chaos, ani looked liked the vast ruins of some an terior formation, or the wreck of a world destroyed by the Titans of fable. A great deal of the marble was of the most brilliant white.—Frankland's Travels. THE KILL-AND-CURE DOCTOR.—A trial came on during the last Lent Assizes, whilst the Judges were on Circuit, in which an ignorant country surgeon was the principal witness for the prosecution. Of course, in his cross-examination, the Council for the defendant at tempted to shake his testimony; and, as the case turned on a point of practice, for this purpose he principally relied on the fact that he was an interloper in the medical profession, and totally destitute of surgical skill. " Pray, Doctor," cried the Advocate in a voice of thunder, " did not (naming a former patient) die under your hands?" " Why —he did." " And —?" " Ye-yes." " And —?" " Why—l can't deny it !" " Well, Sir, and pray what was your occupation before you presumed to intrude into a liberal profession ?" " I was--a—a—bacon curer, Sir." " A bacon curer !" answered the Counsellor, his stern features relaxing into a smile, " then that accounts for it. You thought it was with your patients as with your hogs —you must kill them before you could cure them. don for Terceira, had been taken possession of by the Portuguese blockading squadron off that island, and sent to St. Michael's. This capture was made on the Ist of June, and the brig was not released till the 3d instant, being thus de tained upwards of two months. The outrage to which we have alluded was committed on the person of Mr. William Champion, the acting master of this vessel. We give below, in an ex tract from a private letter, the details of the wan ton brutality by which he suffered. There seems, however, to be no evidence that the out rage was exclusively aimed at a British subject : " St. Michael's, Aug. 3. " I have now to acquaint you of a circumstance which will cause you much distress. Mr. William Champion, the acting master of the brig Britton, has been shot through both his thighs, by a party of Don Miguel's soldiers stationed on board the Ame rican whale-ship Galatea, on the evening of last Sunday week, just after Don Miguel's squadron weighed from this anchorage to go against Terceira. The Galatea had also been detained by the blockad ing squadron, and was ordered to Lisbon ; and Mr. Champion, wishing to put a letter on board of her to England, to go via Lisbon, took a pa-sage off with the American Captain. On getting alongside the Galatea, the Portuguese soldiers ordered them away, and they instantly steered towards shore ; but the soldiers, notwithstanding this, fired into the boat, wounded Champion dangerously, and also the American mate, who steered the whale-boat. They were taken immediately on shore, and medical as sistance procured. The ball was extracted from Mr. Champion's right hip, and he is- now doing well, and likely to recover."—Times. DISSENTERS IN MANCHESTER. The following is the number of Dissenters as sociated with the various bodies in this town. The numbers are taken from the return made to the clerk of the peace for the county, in obedience to an order transmitted by the Secretary for the Home Department :---The Particular Baptists, 700 (Wm. Gadsby) ; Baptists, 400; Baptists, 156 (Wm. Jackson) : Particular Baptists, 50; Catholics, 22,240; Catholics, 5,490; Ditto, 21,000; Bible Christians, 600 (Rev. James Scholefield); Society of Friends, 640 (John Bradshaw); Independents, 1,200 (Rev. W. Roby) ; Independents, 800 ( Samuel Bradley) ; Independent Methodists, 279; Inde pendent Wesleyans, 70; Wesleyan Methodists, 1,300 ; Wesleyan Methodists, 300 ; Ditto, 500 (Robert Watson) ; Ditto, 900 (Wm. Lord); Methodist New Connection, 258; Calvinistic Inde pendents, 500 (John Pyer) ; Primitive Methodists, 400 (Thomas Aspinull) ; New Jerusalem Church, or Swedenborgians, 240 (Richard Jones) ; Presby terians, 760 (Rev. R. Jack); Wesleyan Metho dists, 400; " Israelites," 264 (Rev. Abra hams) ; Unitarians, 1,000 (J. G. Robberds) ; Ditto, 300 (John James Taylor); General Baptists of the New Connection, 100; Welsh Calvinistic Bap tists, 200 (George Williams); Welsh Independents, 250 (John Griffith); Welsh Calvinistic Methodists 303; Independent Methodists, 134; Independent Methodists, 350, (William Dakin); General Bap tists, 23 ; Independent Methodists, 74. Some con fusion will arise in reading the above statement, from the absence of some of the Ministers' names. The only return wanted to make this return complete, is that of Mr. M'All's church, in Mosley -street. Allowing his number to be 600, which we have reason to believe will be found near the truth, the total number of Dissenters in the township of Man chester will be 64,032. It should be recollected that, as it respects the Protestant Dissenters, these numbers merely include those who ate joined in church communion, and not the congregation who attend at the various chapels. Upon what principle, or in what mode, the number of Catholics is ascer tained, we are at a loss to conjecture.—Manchester Advertiser. EAST INDIA JUDGES.—The following is a copy of the decision of His Majesty in Council, on the subject of the important question lately argued before the Privy Council, between the Judges of the Supreme Court of Bombay and the Government of that Presidency : " That the writs of habeas corpus were improperly issued in the two cases referred to in the petition of Sir J. P. GRANT. That the Supreme Court has no power or au thority to issue a writ of habeas corpus, except when di rected either to a person resident within those local limits wherein such court has a general jurisdiction, or to a per son out of such local limits, who is personally subject to the civil and criminal jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. That the Supreme Court has no power or authority to issue a writ of habeas corpus to the gaoler or officer of a native court as such officer, the Supreme Court having no power to discharge persons imprisoned under the authority of a native court. That the Supreme Court is bound to notice the jurisdiction of the native court, without having the same specially set forth in the return to a writ of habeas corpus." HORNE TOOKE.—HORNE TOOKE used to tell a juvenile story to my husband (who in his boyhood occasionally partook of the " Diversions of Purley") very illustrative of the narrator. HORNE when at Eton, was one day asked by the Master why a certain verb governed a particular case? He answered, " I don't know."— " That's impossible, said the master ; " I know you are not ignorant, but obstinate."—Homix however persisted, and the master flogged. After punishment the pedagogue quoted the rule of grammar ; HORNE instantly replied, " I know that very well ; but you did not ask for the rule, you demanded the reason." Here we have the per spicuity of the mature dialectician, and the dogged ob stinacy which would not yield a step to authority, and could purchase a victory at any expense of suffering. Opinions may change; but the man in his leading cha racteristics, is at fifty what he is at thirteen.—Book of the Boudoir. - - THE ASSAULT ON MR. FFRENCH.--AS the late attack on this gentleman by the three sons of Mr. WlLuau COBBETT, has excited so much interest, and the details of the case, with a full account of the provocation, will be undoubtedly given at the next Quarter Sessions, we do not think that the following account will in any de gree be hurtful to either party :—" Mr. COBBETT, sen., has, it is well known, on account of domestic troubles, lo V lsince separated from hi s wife. Her three sons, NIIILIA2,I, RICHARD, and JOHN, are, however, very much attached to her, and they, having understood that Mr. FFRENCH had publicly uttered some offensive and un founded statements respecting her, called upon him to re tract, which he flatly refused. The consequence was, that all the three brothers, conceiving themselves equally injured, assaulted Mr. FFftEtictt. He, however, did not wish to avail himself of the protection and strong arm of the law, as he wrote a letter to Mr. Coastal., sen., containing an account of the assault, and his unwillingness to prosecute them. 11r. COBBETT wrote back that his sons fully de served to be punished for so violent an assault, and advised him to take out a warrant against them. Mr. Fritz/wit did so, and now avers his determination to indict them. — Morning PaPer• Wheat. Barley. i Oats. Beans. Per Quarter. s. to s. s. to s. Is.to s. P. s.

The weather has been exceedingly unsettled since our last. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, an immense quantity of rain fell, and up to the present the weather still continues very unfavourable, with frequent heavy showers : the hat vest operations have, consequently, been completely checked, which, otherwise, would have been general. The heavy crops of Wheat are all beat down, and the report from the farmers this morning states that considerable injury has been done, and should the weather not shortly take up, the result must be very serious. Not withstanding this, we have to-day had only a slender at tendance of buyers, and although considerably higher prices were demanded, yet on the trilling business done, an advance of 2s. to 3s. per quarter was reluctantly sub mitted to, on the best runs of both English and foreign ; secondary qualities may be noted Is. to 2s. dearer. There has been some few transactions in Wheats under lock, a parcel of white Silesian, made 565. per quarter; for Ham burg, 50s. to 545. per quarter ; Archangel, 345. to 355. per ,quarter ; Riga and Petersburgh, 3Ss. to 40s. per quar ter are demanded. We do not notice any alteration in the value of Oats, Beans, or Barley. Rapeseed is held at higher prices, but little offering. Linseed fully supports late prices.

The weather since last Tuesday has been decidedly un favourable for the operations of harvest, which would otherwise have been pretty general in this district; the consequence has been an increased demand from the town and country millers, for the best descriptions of both Wheat and Oats, but more particularly for the finer qualities of the former, which have become unusually scarce ; the millers, however, still purchase with extreme caution, and little improvement in prices was realised until Saturday, when an advance of 2d. to 3d. on Wheat, and id. to Id. per bushel on Oats, was obtained. English and Irish Flour commanded Is. pack, and American as much per barrel above previous quotations. The other articles of the trade were also a little more inquired for, but without producing any sensible effect on prices. Sunday and yes terday were fine, with strong winds, but last night and this morning we bad again some heavy rain. There was a free sale for fine fresh Wheats to-day, at fully the ad vance above noted, but no improvement in the inferior qualities, nor were such saleable unless at a reduction. Prime Oats fully sustained last Tuesday's quotations, but the demand was by no means extensive. EAST INDIA INTELLIGENCE. We have received Madras Papers to the 29th of March, bringing intelligence from Calcutta to the 15th of the same month. The principal sub ject of interest to which they refer relates to the tour of the Governor-General, and the future modifications in the Constitution of the local Government, which some recent circumstances, connected with his Lordship's journey, seem strongly to indicate. The following remarks on that subject occur in the Madras Gazette:— " The return of the Governor-General from the eastward is calculated upon in all April. He pro ceeds, in the first instance, to Penang, and from thence to Malacca and Singapore. We have already hinted at the probable object of this visit, but as we are not iu the secret of impending events, we can only draw inferences from them as they are developed or unfold themselves ; and assume as a consequence, such and such occurrences. That the present period is pregnant with the most important incidents as re gards the destiny of British India, must be evident to all who are in the habit of observing, even casually, the events of the day. In former times, the rulers of the land seldom moved from their seat of govern ment, whereas, in the present day, they are more abroad than at home, and feel that it is equally their duty to be personally acquainted with the administra tion of the interior, as with those provinces more immediately situated near the seat of Government." The Bengal Chronicle, referring to the same subject, says— " A contemporary paper states, that on the re turn of the Right Hon. the Governor-General, the Government will be removed from the Presidency to the Upper Provinces. We believe the fact to be this--that his Lordship considers that wherever he may be, there ought to be the Government; and that in his projected tour to the Upper Provinces, the Governor-General will require the members of council and secretaries to accompany him, in order to constitute the Government, and to conduct its business; and whoever may be left in immediate authority over us, will not have, we believe, any dis cretionary power in any matter of importance, but have to refer his proposed measures to head-quarters, unless in some very emergent case. All these changes sufficiently indicate that a very material alteration in the Constitution of the Government of this country is contemplated on the expiration of the charter." A recent instance has been given by the Go vernor-General of the liberal principles on which his administration is to be conducted, by the resolutions announced in the following letter, ad dressed to several firms of Calcutta, in answer to their representations on the subject : " Gentlemen,—l am directed by the Governor- General in Council to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 28th ult., and to inform you that his Lord ship in Council has resolved that the resolution of the 7 t h of May, 1824, shall no longer be confined to !ouncilConsiders it to be advisable to postpone any measure of that nature until the exigencies of the case shall be practically developed. In the mean time, the above resolution will sufficiently define the conditions on which the required permission is to be granted. " I am, gentlemen, your most obedient servant, (Signed) " HOLT MACKENZIE, " Sec. to the Government. " Council Chamber, Feb. 17, 1829." The Madras Gazette congratulates the East [udia residents on the removal of the restrictions announced in the Secretary's letter, in the fol lowing words : " It is with feelings of the most sincere pleasure, that we call the attention of our readers to a com munication of the Secretary to the Supreme Go vernment to the several mercantile houses in Cal cutta, conveying to them the gratifying intelligence that Europeans are no longer restricted in the occu pation of lands, to the cultivation of one article of merchandise, but that the indulgence is extended to the cultivation of indigo and other agricultural purposes;' hence our observations upon that system of liberal policy which we predicted would distin guish the Bentinck administration of the government of India, have been verified. This is, however, but the beginning of good things—it is but the intro duction to a more extensive field for the application of capital, talent, and industry. It has created an opening for the employment of many who were lack ing the means of subsistence, and it will lead to a more frequent, direct, and expeditious communica- tion with Great Britain than luts hitherto been ac complished; while at the same time it will establish such a connexion between the mercantile establish ments of the two countries, that their interests will become inseparable; and an injury to one will be an injury to both, and be dealt with accordingly." The ship Perseverance, Captain Brown, out ward bound, from Liverpool to Calcutta direct, struck on Narsapoor Point during the night of 28th of February. The timely arrival of the brig Coringa Seetarama, Captain Lester, which hove in sight the morning after the accident, and ob serving the distressed situation of the Posever ance, ran down, upon her, prevented the more melancholy catastrophe of such an accident : she succeeded in saving the crew and part of the cargo, which we understand was very valuable. e Perseverance, we are informed, is a com plete wreck. A Court for the relief of Insolvent Debtors was opened in Calcutta before the three Judges, on the 2d of March ; at which the act constitut ing the Court, as also the rules of court and table of fees fixed on, were read ; and Archibald Dobbs and John Franks, Esqrs., were appointed, the former examiner, and the latter sealer of the said court. Petitions were to be received on the Wednesday following, until when the court was adjourned. FRENCH MINISTRY. (From the Journal des Debats of Saturday.) PARIS, AUG. 16.—Extremum superest opus (Lucan).—Generally the Ministers are not dis placed or placed, except by the Chambers or an Election. Thus the Ministry of the Duke de . „... . Richelieu fell before a vote of the Chamber of Deputies, and this vote brought M. de Villele into power. Thus also, at a later period, M. de Villele felt the consequence of the votes at the election of 1827, and this elevated M. de Martignac into power. The new Mi nistry has, in this respect, a destiny of its own, it is neither a vote of the Chamber, nor the votes at an Election, which have displaced its predecessors and elevated it to power. From its origin it lies beyond the rules and usages of a Representative Government. 'I he manner of its birth indicates in what manner it will live.— Whence came it ? Where is its source of power ? Here I am in a critical situation ; for I wish not to insult, and I must speak the truth. France received the Restoration with enthu siasm. This is so true, that the orator who ! wished to say that France had received Royalty with repugnance, lost almost by these words his claim to public gratitude, and died believing that his countrymen were ungrateful, when they were only just. But it is also true that in securing the Resto ration, France did not cast aside all its dearest recollections, all the afflictions that had become sacred, and all the natural antipathies connected with those recollections and afflictions. Thus, there is not a single family in France of the middle classes without some recollections of 1789. Our fathers delighted in recounting the joy they felt when the Bastile was taken, and the still purer joy which was excited by the Fe deration. Whoever looked with an angry eye on the dawn of the Revolution—whoever cursed the hours which came on so rapidly and so beau tifully of its morning—whoever did not allow himself at first to be seduced, as the Duke de Montmorency said of himself, repented it after wards. France ought to esteem, but could not love him. If there are amongst our great Nobles some family of the kind—it it have returned to the country which it abandoned too soon—if it have recovered the estates which could be res tored without violating justice—if it has titles and honours—if it enjoy the remembrances of the goodness of a Queen, whose courage ren dered her holy and sacred in the eyes of France, and whom it was so much the less proper to for sake, as she ordered that out of excessive friend ship—to all these things we have nothing to say, but if the chief of this family is appointed to re present France in foreign countries, we have a right to complain. If on several occasions he crosses the Channel to seize the Ministry, and that even in the time of M. de Villele, as if M. de Villele was not zealous enough, our com plaints become alarming. If at length, after several such appearances, as if he would accus tom us, by the fear of it, to the evil itself, the chief of this family, mistrusted still more on ac count of the friendship of the Duke of Welling t o g t r o e a f t e ar, must w h be when our i , afflictionis called t o power, ?ir o st e h r e , rteh not en room how we see the destiny of France, as it was created in 1789, delivered into the hands of the counter it is in vain that M. de Polignac has made a public profession of attachment to the charter. This resembles the old Test Oath in England, which persons must take to fill a public employ ment, but which was of no force except for those who refused it. I do not doubt M. de Polig nac's sincerity ; but can he believe that a few words can compensate, in the eyes of the peo ple, for the actions of a whole life ? Has his name grown into popular favour since that time ? A year ago he made this profession ; have man persons since then adhered to his Ministry? No ; and now the country is agitated and un easy. Every person asks when will these blows of the counter-revolution be at an end—this is at length the last ? Be it so, though it be the most violent of ally. M. de Polignac in the Ministry represents the ideas of the first emigration, the ideas of Coblentz. Do his colleagues represent any thing of less antipathy to the sentiments of France We wish it ; but what must we think when the means have been found to disfigure in some sort even the recollections of La Vendee ? There is in the Ministry a person who recalls La Vendee ; but it is M. de Bourmont ; and even La Vendee did not first establish his repu tation, but the Chouannerie. His subsequent fame is indelible, for it belongs to our recollec tions of Waterloo. Who does not admit the misfortune of such a choice ? There is, in the history of the counter-revolution in France—a history made up almost of intrigues aml conspi racies—one brilliant and glorious scene, La Ven dee. There is not a man, particularly if he be young, who does not love La Vendee with its brave peasants ; its battles at the corner of every hedge ; its Generals elected on the field of bat tle; the generous death of its Bouchamps, and the splendour of its Larochejacquelin. Is there a man of La Vendee called to the Counter-Re volution Ministry ? Were it a mere soldier, the public would be astonished,. but would not com plain. Cathelineau was only a peasant. But we take a man from that Cliouannerie, from that war of highways, the victories of which are over mail-coaches ; that war which was never either popular or creditable. This is the first filly of this choice. There is another in the same man ; for in the new Ministry each member of it is big with unpopularity, and each name is a mark for public dislike. Waterloo ! I do not ask the Restoration to lament that day ; but it cannot ask France to rejoice for it—too much of our blood was then shed, and too much of our glory then perished. There is not a French officer who does not shed tears at recollecting that day ; but there is one man, they say, who ought on recollecting that day to blush►. You are deceived, gentlemen. M. de Bourmont was only faithless from fide lity ; he remembered beyond the oaths he had just taken to Bonaparte the oaths he had taken to Louis XVIII. On the eve of a battle a sol dier should only remember his oath to fight. Eight days ago history only could ask M. de Bourmont about his loyal treason ; now if he be exposed on the pillory, if the Ministry of France collect around him, whose is the fault ? If children ask what he has done, and parents an swer he lost the battle of Waterloo, whose is the fault ? If from every field of battle in Europe, where our grand army left some of its members —if from Belgium, where it left even its stumps —if from the place where Ney was shot there arise angry cries, which pierce our very hearts— if the column of the Grand Army seems to tremble with all its battalions of brass, as if it had received an affront, whose is the fault ? No ; the Ministry of the Counter Revolution wants nothing until Wateiloo is represented. Let M. de Bourmont not accuse our words of violence ;we do not judge his conscience. He assisted at the disasters of Waterloo. What be did, he, no doubt, thoug h t b right. But how is it that he does not feel that since that day he has been branded as it were with a species of fata lity ? Does he not feel that there is between him and France all the blood which he assisted in shedding at Waterloo ? If a man by justice, by virtue, even had assisted at the death of my family—if I could impute to him the loss of' my friends—no human power could oblige me to give my hand to such a man. People or soldiers, we are in France all brothers and sons of the glorious dead of Waterloo, and we cannot give our hand to M. de Bourmont. What shall I . say of M. de la Bourdonnaye ? Of all the Ministers his unpopularity is of the latest date. Against him there are only four teen years of public dislike ; but never was dis like mingled with greater terror. A few words were lutuctent to make his name famous, and in the .i lmeasy mind of' the public equally many actkons. The manner in which he speaks, al ways harsh and inflexible, has persuaded France that, as Minister, he would push every thing to extremes. M. de la Bourdonnaye is a partizan and a logician—a double reason for dread. He is, whatever honour he may possess for the Con vention, of the school of those terrible logicians who boldly developed the Revolution. If he does as Minister what he has said as Speaker, he will develope the counter-revolution. M. de la Bourdonnaye represents in the Ministry the faction of 1815, with its murderous amnesties, its laws of proscription, and its dependent mas sacres in the South. • C o blentz—Waterloo-1815—are the three principles, the three persona of the Ministry. Turn them whatever way you please, they terrify and affront us. There is not an aspect which is not evil—not a side which is not threatening. Our hatred of thirty years ago—our afflictions and our distresses fifteen years ago, are all there —all have assembled to insult and irritate France. Press and turn the Ministry as you will, it displeases us with humiliation, evil, and dangers. The Ministry, however, is astonished at the public affliction. It says the public is unjust, that it does not know what the Ministry will be. What it will be ? Why, what can it be but what it has been ?
