As regards the. vat iety of. plies to which your correspondent alludes, that h.avejteen sub tnt ted to the toed and Izeperiel Legieletures, to ;he-in jury of the St. Andrew and Quete c lice, I will not tot. tempt to waste your time, nor intrude upou your space fiat entering into - any detail or explanations -of them—the more so, as I am not the least inclined to dispute these points, • and am tittle ready to conc. de to that .company the merit of being the ti:tst in the field in active railway matters, and of having nobly dated to go to Work, whilst (ohm only talked. lam also quite willing to admit that the New Brunswick Company deserve every encouraaement as a oold local bot'y employed in cie litable lou loneesures— that it is in the power 4 , 1 of our Government, with jus tice to other colonies, to confer upon it—but having said so tnuch, I regr. t I cannot go further in any agreement with your correspondent; all other matters I must hold open to discussion. And first I will refer to his remarks concerning myself. Your correspondent says that I affect not to be aware of the existence of an under taking, &c., &e, now in actual progress." Now two of the paragraphs to which I allude was intended as an • advertisement in favour of the company, calling itself the St. Andrew tuff Qiebec Railway Com pany, in my opinion merely un nom de guerre. The joke might perhaps be excusable, but if a wilful misconcep• tion of my letter has been assumed to insert an adver tisement without payment, or for any other improper purpose, such conduct is surely unworthy of any re spectable party. I are quite unaware of any affectation oil my part either of knowledge or of ignorance, nor em I aware of any part of my letter from which your cote respondent can have drawn his inference. That a com pany existed calling itself the St. Andrew nod Quebec, Railway Company I was quite aware, and I lorppeued te return from North America with Captain Robinson, son-in-law to Admiral Owen, who your correspon dent is aware, I dare say, are both much interested in its suecess; but I was not aware, nor am I new aware. that beyond the province of New Bruns wick this company had any authority, any land, or arty Acts, either ot the local or Imperial Legiflature is their favour—arid. I rather guess, as our brother Jonathan would say, they have none ; on the centretty • I sl eel's understoot! that the chief object of the railway was to rap the rive r St, John, near Woodstock, and teue carry away from its rival, the tuwn of 'that name, the trade. which now flaws into it, to the town of their patron, St. Andrew. 1%7 , 4. wit , , I ever aware, nor hats your col - - re-flow:tent ct tiv;aced me, that this comoarly weuld coenect by a " trunk line" the .'• whole of British North America," seeing that Sr. Andrew's is quite out, ot the lines from Halifax to Quebec, and sever having heard that Halifax and St. Andrew's—or mere properly I should say Nova Scotia and _New Bruneeittk—had even ever cornmueicatt.d with each other on such a pro ject. A trunk line, indeed, from Haliai to the United States sea ports might pass tbrcugh St. Andrew's, :but no emperical trunk line to connect the British provinces ought ever to take that most rottliciabout route., The_ only advantage that I can see the St. eYndrew's and Quebec line could Ove,the provinces would be to connect them, if th e y wished, with the Bay of Fundey—carne would say a . very questionable good ; however, Sir, as the Honouraole, and what is better, the highly talented Mr. Chandler is here, as well as the other delegates, no doubt that justice will be dune to ell parties, and I hope also to the mottier country. The colonies till have my best wishes, not merely on their Dan account, but on our:, and I trust, wi h your cartes poedent, that WI local petty jealousies will be laid aside," even those of the " St. Andrew and Quebec Railway Cumaan3 ," and that they will not consider the compl , - tiou o' their uudertaktug " estieuttal to the interests of the colonie., and their permanent connexion with the British Crown," but allow that other lines may be of equal, it nut greater, celenial and Imperial importance.

This is a very valuanle con cession, and will be felt to be a great relief by all shipowners engaged in the trade with Brazil lc is pleasant to see the obstacles, which a mistaken policy bas opposed to the inter course of nations, thus disappearing one by one. England, which has taken the lead in freeing commerce and navigation from its fetters, having a greater commerce, by from fifty to sixty millions a year, than any other nation in the world, will, in the end, be the greatest gainer by the removal of ob stacles to the intercourse of notions.--Liverpool Times.

Mind Your Own Business, a comedy, by Mr. Mark Lemon, was produced on Saturday evening with brilliant success. Tne real hero of the play is not the meddling gentleman, Mr. Oddiman, who embroils himself in other people's affairs, but Mr. Verdun, a young country squire, who is nearly ruined by an unfortunate passion, and whose fortunes are gradually set forth in the progress of the drama. In the first act we find him full of health and spirits, glowing with love for Marian, daughter of the village school master, Morrison, and offering her his hand, with the full assurance of being accepted. The needy father is, of course, delighted with the offer, the elder daughter, Fanny, mildly approves, but there is a hitch on the part of the most important personage, M ar i an herself, who has secretly bestowed her affections on Arthur Mowbray, a young artist. Wren the fatal truth is revealed, and Verdon's dream of happiness is dispelled, be rushes in despair from Morrison's house, and the lovers are left to be as happy as they may. Something like a twelvemonth elapses before the cute: nienceinent of tha I.econd act, Mowbray has married Marian, and the drop scene rises amid the sound of villa g e rejoicing, consequent on the christening of their first child. Mowbray is tolerably happy, but as he is highly connected, and has been used to luxu ries, the humble mode of life which he leads with his wife and her father is not altogether to his taste. In the meanwhile, Verdon has betaken himself to London, where, on the strength of his disappoint ment, he devotes himself with such energy to the bottle as to acquire the name of "Drunken Verdon." Fenny Morrhun, to contribute to the comforts of her feroily at eome, has engaged herself as companion to Mrs. Smythe, a London lady, at whose house she perceives Verdon, and is greatly shocked at his changed condition. Resolved to save him, she visits him at his lodgings, and while he is drowsing thought with a bowl of punch, occasionafly calling up reminiscences of his rural amusements, she suddenly appears before him, and so far in fluences him by her mild persuasion that he resolves to return to the country and lead a better life. At the same time, poor Fanny has troubles of her own. Mrs. Smythe, who, being married to sci devant footman, is not received into ueexceptionable society, opens her house to rather doubtful company, and Fanny is exposed to the insulting addresses of Mr. Orgrave, a libertine Member of Parliament. Quitting Mrs. Soaythe's house,she resolves on returning to the country, but is pursued by Oigrave, and being over taken by him at a road side inn, is only saved from his clutches by the sudden appearance of Verdon, who happens to have taken up his lodgings there on his way home. When she reaches her father's house she is received with delight; Verdon discovers that he loves her as well as he thought he loved Marian, and takes her fur a wife, and Orgrave, the " bad man " of the piece, is knocked down by a thunderbolt in the shape of ate - old deed, which transfers all his property to his cou sin Mowbray, the husband of Marian. Not withstanding a degree of complexity in the plot, the piece rivet ed the attention of the audience throughout, and will take its place on the stage as a sterling and attractive comedy Mr. Webster's per sonation of Verdon is one of the most marked tri umphs of that artistic comedian —in fact, humorous the exalted he never as the aeted o b b e u tt s 7 . . bod M y ! , . B an uc d kst a o s ne s i tn s "Jearnes," Mr. Keeley is transcendently delicious. Mr.:Leigh Murray sustained the cool villain, Orgrave, 'to perfection, and Mr. Howe, as Mowbray, is manly and correct, whilst Mr. Rogers, in the minor part of Weezie, merits especial notice for his careful intelli- Renee. Fenny and Marian, the two sisters, are pour trayed with exquisite discrimination and effect by Mrs. Stirling and Miss Reynolds; and Mrs. Bucking ham is a most apt representative of the espoused of the ex plush. Altogether, a more satisfactory per formance it would be impossible to witness, and it will be very strange if Mind Your Own Business does not draw crowded houses. The applause at the con clusion was enthusiastic even to uproar. . - 31ADEMOISLIALE WAGNER. Mademoiselle Johanna Wagner, who arrived in Lon don with her father, Albert Wagner, in the cou rse of she p -st wi ek, is the niece of the Chapel Master of Drerden, Richard Wagner, whom Lisiz has recently made known to the world as being, in his opinion, the greatest composer of the present day. .In her early life , tee. pampa having a p ro l ees i oua l engagement at the JO-tore:at Wurzburg, in B a v ar i a , Jobanna's place of residence was in that town; Whilst - here she was at imps cast as the representative of- - the good spirit in fairy ' spectacles, in each of which, especially as she advanced in age, she is said to have displayed declamatory powers is no common order. and the result was that, at fifteen years - os age, .he was , elected to stisisen the character et Abigeil, in Le Verre el' Eau, which was produced est the Balieeelstadt Theatre. She then essayed, with undisputed success. in Esmeralda, as Preciosa, and as Cornelia in King Lear. .It -wise about this period the parents of ttie youthful . Johanna discovered that she possessed a beautiful - voice ; where upon they, being professors of the vocal art, " got her up" in the Page in Meyerbeer's Huguenots. From this mom nt a portion of each day was devotee to the study and practice of voealization and -music generally, the effect of which was, that after a few months there was an almost daily perceptible advancement in the art, until, at length, she made her debit in the part of. Cate ein,, in lialevy's Reine de Chypre. The success which this performance achieved led eldlle. Wagner to traniter her principal studies from the legitimate drama to opera. Upon this her uncle Richard expressed a wish that she should pay a visit to Dresden; but before she complied with that wish she accompanied her father to Paris, where she remained under the instruction of Manuel Garcia for six menthe. It will be.in the recollection of many of our readers that Manuel Garcia is the brother of the lamented Malibreneind of Viardot, and, further, that Jenny Liud was one of his pupils. From Paris Johanna, with her father, proceeded to Dresden, where she received an eegagement for Eve years, and succeed, d Mdme. Schroeder Develent. She first made an im pression on the miuds of her hearers in the charaet,r of Agatha of Weber, then in Beethoven's Fe:felt°, and afterwards in various other parts. From Dresden she went to Hamburgh, in consequence of the poll tical strife which the former place became the Beene. Here it was that shi? undertook the arduous character of Fides, in the Prophite, and it was her powerful delineation of this opera wtoch caused her Walton to spread from one - end of Germany to the ether. Subsequently to this Mdlle. Wagner held engage ments at Berlin and Vienne, and it was in the former country. Permission , city that she succeeded Viardot in Fides.

Carragh 22 I Monkstown JULY. Heath TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION. (CONTINUED ON MONDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS.) Sir,—On Wednesday the 21st, the House was oc cupied by a debate of three hours on salmon. It appeared to end is nothing, but an asseveration from both sides of the House, that salmon do not " with draw before civilization." I cannot help holding the contrary of this to be as certain, as that trout have withdrawn from the waters at Sun Bridge. It is understood to be, admitterL that within the memory of men now living, there_Were trout, in that troubled stream ; a fact - which it is possible the modern gene ration of Bradford may be inclined to view as an at -tempted imposition on their credulity. The self same kind.of reasons Which have removed trout from disporting in the - centre of your market•place, will operate to cut off the harvest of salmon to be expected in the Irish rivers. To sewage, gas-water, and the refuse of manufactories, which may be consieered us cotnnion to bO"qi localities, may be added in the case of Ire - lend the disturbance of steam-boats. There is ill) ~Eying how this may affect the Lerves of a salmon. He is elearly a ere stare in a high drgcee possessed of the organ of lOve of country ; for tnouiAli he lives in the water, he is not content, *ithout returning to the i . took where be was b orn. hi s f ee li ngs th ere f o re on finding his native nook disturbed by the splashiegs of steam-paddler, may be of the ecutest order. It affect:, even eels, who are scarcely fish at all, but bor der upon serpents; much more then saimou, who are the royalty of fish. But there is a more fearful cause than any of these.

It wou ld b 3 a cur i ous question to determine, upon knowledge of all the habits of the population of salmon, what is the maxi mum of fish of valuable size, it would be possible to cook annually and keep up the numbers, on the supposition that there was as perfect a control over all the processes of destruction as a hen-wife pos sesses in her poultry-yard. But as it is certain this perfect control cannot be had, it may be held to be certain that this maximum will not be maintained, and that salmon will diminish before the advance of civilization as kangaroos do, in spite of all that both sides of the House of Commons can do to prevent it. On Thursday the Taxes on Paper, Advertisements, And Newspaper Stamps, were brought forward in what might be called an exhaustive speech, by the Member for Manchester (Mr. Milner Gibson). The reply of the Chancellor of the Exchequer was based entirely on taking advantage of the false moves of those who appear as attornies for the people. His reply was virtually this, " You bring heavy com plaints against the effect of certain descriptions of indirect taxation. There are probably no others of which you would not as heavily complain, if the question was of removing them. But if indirect taxation is to be removed, the amount must be laid on direct taxation. Now do you of the popular party understand your own minds upon the subject of direct taxation ? Hav e you determined, for instance, whether direct taxation ought to stop at certain classes, or be imposed on all ? Aod have you settled whether the possessor of a temporary income is fairly taxed by taxing him temporarily or whether he is not,? Till you know your own minds on points like these, bow can you expect me to make alterations in taxation ? I will do nothing of the sort, but hold on pertinaciously to what I have." There is no d en yi ng th at t hi s i s a b ly and effect i ve l y taking advantage of the blunders of adverse e:oun senors. While these leaders cannot fi nd out that t h e fact of being outrageously o verc h arge d on the indirect taxes,is a reason why the p oorer port i on of the in-• dustrious classes should claim to be exempted from the direct, they must be in the position of an attor ney who could not discover that his client's having a bill against the guardians of the poor, should be a reason why be should have a set-off against the gene ral poor's rate. " 0 but," this attorney is expected to say, " how unjust it would be if all did not pay alike !" Not, it would be replied, if the fact is that the lower incomes have been paying at ten or eleven times the rate of the rest on another account. Now this is what your attorneys cannot see; so I recom mend your trying another firm. The mistake, too, of not discerning . thatt he tem porary incomes being taxed temporarilyis to the uttermost farthing i n exa ct proportion to their value, is equally fatal to the clients concerned. As long as these mistakes go on, an adverse Chancellor of the Exchequer must be denuded of genius, who cannot make them the grounds for blowing your cause out of the water as often as he likes. It is written above, that till men manage their affairs right, they shall go wrong ; the worse fortune for the users of print and paper, on whom the experiment is destined to be made.

Yesterday morning the claims which this association has upon the public for support were very ably advocated in a sermon preached at St. Thomas's Church, Bream's buildings, Chancery-lane, by the Rev. J. Red war, the in cumbent. The text was taken from Jeremiah, 15th chap., 16th verse, " Thy words were found and I did eat then), and thy word was unto me the joy and re joicing of mine heart." The reverend minister, in ex pounding the text, described the Holy Scriptures as the great messenger of love and mercy, and said that all skould labour to make their families, children, and ser vants acquainted with the Word of God. The congre gation present could doubtless all read as well as possess the sacred book. • Theirs was no class Bible—no locked book, but to many it was a locked—a sealed book. The Scripture reader, however, had gone forth with the Bible in his hand, reading the Word of God at their own fire-side, by which the most encouraging results had been produced. This good work had been going on in this and many other parishes for upwards of seven years. The readers were now 116 in number, derivin g their income solely from ;the funds of the Church o! England Scripture Readers' Association, and which funds had become so inadequate to meet the expendi ture that the association, though reluctant, contemplated withdrawing some of the readers. To prevent this he would urge the congregation as a Christian duty to con tribute liberally. From the circulars placed in the church, it appeared that the eighth annual meeting of the association will be held on Tuesday next (the 27th inst.),' at the Hanover square Rooms, under the presidency or the Lord Bishop or St. Asaph, when the chief recomtaendation will be that a strenuous exertion should be immediately made to raise 2,0001. The Reverend Gentleman's eloquent discourse pro duced a very liberal collection at the dco.% " WRITE SOON 1" (From Eliza Cook's Journal) Long parting from the hearts we love Will shadow o'er the brightest face; And happy they who part, and prove Affection changes not with place. A sad farewell is warmly dear, But something dearer may be found To dwell on lips that are sincere, And lurk in bosoms closely bound. The pressing band, the steadfast eye, Are both less earnest than the boon Which, fervently, the last fond sigh Begs in the hopeful words, " Write soon!" " Wiite soon!" oh, sweet request o f Truth! How tenderly its accents come! We heard it first in early youth, When mothers watche d us leaving home. And still amid the trumpet-joys, That weary us with pomp and show, We turn from all the brassy noise To hear this minore cadence flow.

Less than 3-10ths of an in i ou b os. within the districtAuring the last tw has fallen :wa ebrPcriscterns have AUSTRALIAN G OLD. By the Bank Return of April 10th, it appears that the stock of Bullion in both departments of the Bank was 19,245,2991., being a decrease of 351,2021. Tbis circumstance is thus referred to in the City article of I the Times : " The amount of coin taken for shipment to Australia during the past fortnight has been very large, consequent upon the iufeliigeo ca th a t the price of gold-dust bad fallen to 575. per ounce at Melbourne, and to 60s. per ounce at Sydney. This circumstance, coupled with the payment of the dividends, has led to a considerable de crease in the Bank bullion, which shows itself this week to the extent of 351,202 L, and which will also probably affect the next return." Our readers who have heard of the absurdity of "sending coals to Newcastle," may perhaps at the firil sight of this be surprised at hearing of gold being just now sent to Australia. But a little consideration will show why sovereigns coined at the ra'e of 3/. 17s. 10d. an ounce, are sent out to a country where gold is selling, we are told, at from 575. to 60s. an ounce. A sovereign in England, and in all our foreign dependencies, and in or.d throughout the commercial world, has an artifi vial value Riven► to it. Gold-dust is at its natural value et Ak•ibuurne and Sydney. In conseqtonce of the increase in the quantity discovered, and therefore in the supply, the price has declined. But a coi.led ounce of gold retains its artificial price : it is kgal tender for ad.btof 31 17s. 10id. The digger will, therefore, exchange his gold dust for a bit of gold of considerably less intrinsic value, because that whici, he obtains is nut only gold but money. He will be equiilly ready to part with the" precious metal" fur a bit of paper of no intrinsic value whatever, be cause be knows that such paper has an accredited value, and is convertible into food, raiment, lodging, and the necessaries and comforts of life, with the greatest facility. Thus we read of the b an k s i n Melbourne and Sydney sending notes up to the dig gers to purchase gold dust. It would have been well for mankind—well for this country of England —if that very intelligible idea which the acumen of Bishop Berkeley enunciated long ago, when he asked " whether the true idea of money, as such, be not altogether that of a ticket or counter ?" had taken possession of the national intellect. Gold mines, copper mines, or silver mines would, without doubt, on their di scovery , i ncrease the trading capital of Australia and promote its wealth. But can we fail to see that if the " ticket or counter " be formed of paper, or some valueless commodity, the whole of thi s new l y acqu i re d c apital may be applied as an article of commerce, in foreign trade, while the " ticket or counter" is discharging the function of money in the colony ? And again, as the wealth and population of Australia increase, it will of course require more "tickets and counters" to carry on their trade, and exchange commo di t i es. But if they retain gold counters, who c an i nsure the increase of gold in proportionate quan tities? But you may insure the increase of a paper circulation to the exact amount adequate to the requirements of the country. Now what (let us say it with due respect to the national intellect)—" what is sauce for the Aus tralian goose, is sauce for the British gander." Let us hope that these gold discoveries, which Providence in commiseration of man's ignorant and infatuated worship of the " precious metals " has brought about, will open our eyes to the true use and value of silver and of gold. Useful and pleasant they are as articles for man's service, and, as the Jews applied them, for "tinkling ornaments" for the young and fair. But as Locke said, " gold is not fit to be a nation's money." It is not the money of commerce, of progress, of civilised man. It has had its day. Let us turn to a monetary system adapted to the days in which we live. A representative money system, based on sound philosophy, approved by science, and carf.ying with it elements conducive to the prosperity of Millions of the working classes, and to the moral development of the nation's greatness.—Derbyshire Courier. THE CURRENCY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE " DERBYSHIRE COURIER." Chesterfi:ld, April 22, 1852. Sir,—As your valuable journal has so lorg taken the first rank, and with so much talent and assiduity, as an advocate fur a change in the curreney-laws of this kingdom, I beg to enclose an appeal made to both Houses of Parliament by the father of the late la mented Premier, Sir Robert Peel. The argument appears to be so plain and so convincing, it may, perhaps, induce your numerous readers to turn their attention more generally to the subject, which ap pears to be of such paramount importance to the pros perity of the country at large. I remain, Sir, yours truly, NE N°. SIR ROBERT PEEL. TO THE MEMBERS OF BOTH HOUSES OP PARLIAMENT. My Lords and Gentlemen,—Will you permit an old man to address you on the subject of our currency? I sat in Parliament thirty years, durkg which time I fre quently heard this important question discussed in the House by Mr. Pitt. Mr. Fox, and other distin guished characters. On the passing of the Bank Re striction Act, I was entrusted by the merchants aLd citizens of London, to present their petition against the measure. Though my opinions were embodied in that case, my best endeavours to serve them were not sac cesstul. Having been long and extensively engaged in commercial dealings, I often witnessed a national em barrassment arising from a defective and impure cur rency, which resembled the present stagnation in trade; and I lament to observe, that suffering end experience have failed, in this instance, of producing their usual good effects. In the enlarged scale of business, carried on by this country, embracing a great variety of pur suits, a reliance on a metallic circulation alone ever slid, and ever will, fail us. Gold, though in itself massy, often disappears in consequence of war, or speculation; nay, the breath of rumour itself is sufficient to disperse it. Our domestic concerns are interrupted and confi dence lost, for want of an ample and approved medium of traffic. I am no friend to an unrestrained issue of paper money, and saw with concern, in the absence of a due quantity of specie, b lls admitted into circulation issued by persons of respectability, possessing property, but evidently unable to meet a sudden and large demand upon thorn. More than two years ago I mentioned to a friend high in his Majesty'e councils my fears of the mischief likely to ensue if the practice were not discon tinued; accompanied with a suggestion to confine future issues of paper money, or tokens, to the Bank of England and other competent bodies of men, who would give se curity in land, the public funds, canals, buildings, other tangible property ; amounting, at least, to one half of the value of their bills or tokens in circulation. My proposition was not favoured with any notice , bad it been adopted lam of opinion that moat of the panic and distress now so severely vaealyfeillatbilne, gold would the would h av e been avoided. If such an improvement in the banking system cou ld be glade be come less requisit e, and the c ountry be suppliewith stationary medium of exchange originating with our oncewould cr oesl. enemies The State in war, Mr. our selves. Whilst directing the energies of the Pitt evinced equal abiliatrnyedsidiscoveri n g, improving, and he entertainedwar drained san guine the country f o our inte r nalsp e c i e, pecuniary means than usooner be effected by w e a rl q t r i o n y f hopes that our ruin the want of courage, dine cipline, and conduct in our armies. Mr. Pitt was more than a match for all contingencies. With the aid of the Bank of Engl an d an d of Great Brit a i n were other opulent h ouses , th e energies maintained fpeper money n the importanc e and utility o established. Ingenious ifull activity, were machines were introduced into our manufactures , and the encouragem en t and protec tion afford e d them g reatly increased the demand for our goods at hom e and abroa d . to Ou o r superiorit i l at sea g the wealth derived f rom trade andcirmmmearrceean d (though to some persons it may appear paradoxical) more than co vered the whole expenses of the war. When the Mi nister had recourse to loans they w e re speedily raised by British capitalists, and the increase of the public debt was due from ourselves to ourselves, and resolved itself into a family account without impairing the national property. Mr. Pitt having succeeded in securing peace and independence to the empire, whilst devoting his sole attention to the affairs of the public, suffered his own to be very much embarrassed. Many of his friends wished to extricate him from his difficulties, and requested me to learn from Mr. Rose in what way he could best re lieve him. His reply was, " Mr. Pitt is the most unac countable of human beings, and will prefer living in • garret to being indebted to the bounty of his friends." Though disappointed, the opinion I had long enter tained of this able Minister's high character was nc4 diminished. The present panic and distress in the country have been declared by high authority to proceed from " over trading," and will speeulation.' Infant nations and establishments are liable to miscarry from want of e perience and solidity. Trading and speculation being natives of this island and parents of our wealth and independence, are surely exemptirom such an imputation. The same aut has declared that " gold and paper money are r" patible with each other, and cannot exist together. The population and trade of the empire haveintegediout much increased, a proportionate increase in t -P found in of circulation is called for; and when gold which, xf sufficient, recourse must be made to paperteid, the two, improved on the principle already " gges ocket without substances would be found in the same P disunion. ameliorated, I trust the Anxious to see our situation . d without changing or MOW. , c . urre , nc y m a Y anwndc I c haracter; which Metiticire ° ihg ortt:onal eommetciabl o policy of diverging if resorted to. would resemble that had from its course a powerful river. long g i ven ter. b vpiuess to a large district, merely because alit)" and ' • had sometimes f rom execssiy,, nuns, it exceeded its LIII- produced partial injury.
