MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. In the Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday, the styles were 4,000 bales. The market was quiet, but firm, prices being without alteration. Railway Shares were &at and lower, with very little doing. A firm connected with the Mediterranean tzade is stated to be in difficulties. The journal of the Duchy of Limburg, under date of Maastricht, July 29, announces that the Dutch Govern ment will resist by force any attempt of the German Parliament to carry out its resolution of annexing the duchy. M. Lightenvelt was already adopting 'military precautions. The stock market at Amster& m was affected in consequence, and at Hamburgh, Be' lin and 'other places, business was very dull in public securities and shares, the state of affairs in Italy and Denmark occasioning some apprehension. The Prussian Government has issued an official notice to the effect, that as hostilities may now be con sidered as having recommenced with Denmark, and the late armistice as at an end, the cruisers of th a latter power may be expected immediately to resume captures, and consequently it will be adviseable for all Prussian ships to remain in port, or to protect themselves against what the official notice terms " this de plorable change in circumstances." The commerce of Germany must suffer incredibly by the resumption of the ever, but if the united strength of the Confederation is brought against Denmark, according to the recommen dation of the Dict, the latter power must succumb, unless actively supported, as no doubt it will be, by Russia and Sweden. The position of the French towards Italy is also exciting uneasiness, and further accounts from Verona are anxiously looked for. SEVERN VALLEY RAILWAY. — We find that this pro ject, although delayed, is not abando aed, the promoters having now put themselves in a position to proceed with it as soon as the proper time shall arrive; the connexion which the proposed line will give is an important one, and the districts to be accommodated by it much in want of a railway. We observe that the undertaking has the support of all the interests affected by it. The Funds have been flatter to-day, and Money Stock is lower than are Consols for account, the former having been 864 to I, and the latter 864 to The news of Charles Albert having defeated the Austrians has now made the market firmer at 86-ff 4, but there is evidently a mistrust as to the stability of prices in the absence of purchases by the public.

POUT OF LONDON IMPROVEMENTS.—Durinr- the past month extensive preparations have been mal 4ir 4 building another steam-packet wharf at St. K .4thai for ne , s, next the Tower, on the site of the Old Iro which, it may be remembered, were be ,gate- ivharfs, ,•nt down about e i g ht e en months since.

Capacious ware h ouses, lldi timesm dimensions t to h la ' offices, and waiting7vlioms are in progress of erection, to extend along thf: v‘:nole lino of the quay. THE LATE . E ran,—On Saturday an inquest was held at the AntAi . or and Hope, Shadwell, on the bodies of John Percy *and James Young Handcock, two fire men, w},o lost their lives at the late fire. Several wit nesses were examined, and the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death," adding that there was no evi de'ace to show how the fire originated. very shocking case of child murd er ?MURDER OF A CIIILD.—ASH er TO , N, S la A te T l u y ß b D e A.—A en r per. tunate victim was the illegitimate male s p a e t t i r o a n t . ed T i h n e t u h h is te t r own, and has created n as considerable sen child of Jane M'Laue, an abandoned creature, l,appa rently, who for s o m e tiros past had been cohabiting wit h a man of the Ramo of Johnson, in some low lodging house in the vicinity of the town. The coroner's inquiry closed l ast Friday night, and it appeared that the dead body of the child, which was about nine months old, was discovered in the soil of a closet attached to the Old Cross Inn, and it seemed from the evidence that it had been thrown there. The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Alurder" against the mother, and the magistrates sitting Petty sessions also committed Johnson for trial, for awing and abetting in the crime. EFFECTS OF FRIGHT IN PARIS.--It is well known that a large number of children born after the first French Ravolution, in 1798, became insane; and it seems probable that another illustration of visiting the sins of the parents upon the children will follow the late dis turbances. Many cases of mental derangement have al ready occurred in the Faubourg du Temple and Menil montant, where the fighting, during the late insurrection, was terrific. A s ear l y as the 27th of June, two women, residing in the Corbeau, became deranged; and one who inhabits the Rue Menilmontant, was on the 10th of July conveyed to an asylum. These poor creatures are con stantly heard to utter cries of tear.and dread, they call for assistance and beg they may not be killed. THIRD READINGS. The folloß ink Bills were read a third time And passed: Clerkenw•ell Improvement Bill. East Anglian Railways ( and Huntingdon Railway Extension of Time) Bill. Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, and Edinburgh and Bathgate Railway Amalgamation Bill. SECOND READINGS. The following Bills were read a second time and or &red to be committed:— Faweett's (or Alderson's) Estate Bill. London (City) Small Debts Bill. HIGHWAY RATES BILL. The Highway Raies Bill teas read a second time and ordered to be committed to-morrow at twelve o'clock, after a protest from Mr. Arkwright against the con tinual morning sittings of the House. FARMERS' ESTATE SOCIETY (IRELAND) BILL. The House went into Committee on this Bill. Mr• MUNDELL PALMER moved en amendment to the first clause, believing that if ever there was an Act introduced into the House to which the term of inconsistency ought to be applied, it was the present Bill. By the first clause the provisions of the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act was let into the mea sure ; and, he believed, that fact would have the effect of rendering imperative those powers which he thought the House intended to give by the pre sent Bill. He objected to the compulsory powers given by the Act, which would enable parties to purchase any lands in Ireland. _ _ Mr. MONSELL said that the Bill had been introduced after great consideration by the legal authorities in Ire land, and there was no intention in incorporating the Lands Clause Consolidation to give compulsory powers fur the purchase of land. Sir G. GREY suggested that the clause should be postponed. After some observations from Mr. HENLEY and Mr. R. PALMER, the clause was postponed. Clauses 2 to 13 were agreed to, with a few verbal amendments. Upon clause 14 a long discussion ensued relative to the minimum quantity of land to be sold by the society, and it was ultimately agreed that the initinnum should be fixed at thirty acres. The proviso to this clause, preventing the purchaser of thirty acres of land, except under penalties, to after wards subdivide it, also gave rise to a lengthened dis• mission. Mr. P. SCROPE objected to that principle on the ground that it would stimulate the clearance system among those :mall farmers who cc2upied less than thirty acres. The House divided upon the question, that the ori ginal proviso stand part of the Bill, when there ap peared— Ay es. 5l Noes Majority After another lengthened discussion, the clause was then agreed to. (LEFT SITTING.) SPEED ON RAILWAYS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The Sun of this day contains an extract from Messrs. Robert Stephenson and Locke's report, to the effect that the express trains on the South-Western Railway have been travelling for the last twave months at a higher rate of speed (by 1 mile per hour) than those of the Great Western from London to Exeter. By simply referring to Bradshaw's book of railway time tables you will at once sec that the fastest train on the South-Western takes lb. 50m. to accomplish the distance of 78 miles, from London to Southampton, stopping twice, or every 39 miles; the spee4 of the train, including the stoppages, is therefore 42.553 miles per hour: allowing 20 minutes for the two stoppages (that is, for pulling up, letting in and taking up pas sengers, luggage, &c., and g e t t i ng u p th e spee d aga i n ) , the running speed on the line would be 52 miles per hour. The fattest train on the broad gauge, from London to Exeter, is the 5.30, P.M.; that train runs the distance, 1934 miles, in 41 hours, stopping at eight stations, or every 24 miles—Reading, Didcot, Swindon, Chippen ham, Bath, Bristol, Bridgewater, and Taunton. The speed, including these frequent stoppages, is 43.555 miles per hour. Out of the 41 hours taken in running the 1934 miles we shall have to deduct SO minutes, or 10 minutes for each station, which increases the running speed to 61.222.mi1es per hour, and reduces tie time between Paddington and Exeter to three hours and ten minutes as the time actually taken up in running, without reference to any stoppages. It is therefore sufficiently evident that the speed on the broad gauge is greater than on the South-Western by 9.222 miles per hour. I believe the express trains on the South- Western run faster than those on the other narrow gauge lines. I remain, Sir, yours obediently, A READER OF 71/E SUN. Taunton, July 29, 1848. 11.7 SOUTH WALES RAILW AY BRIDGE ACROSS TELE USK.—The bridge is in _rapid course of re-erection, with improvements in the trusses; there were in the .first construction six to each arch, there will now be but five, which are being placed so as to make the bridge both lighter and stronger. The danger of the bridge being again set on fire is entirely removed. Mr. Bamel visited Newport on Saturday, and inspected the viorks. The centre arch will be of iron—lighter and more graceful than wood, and will also conduce to the safety of the whole structure. The whole work will now occupy no more than about six months to finish. The great tunnel, at the back of Newport, is completed throughout, with the exception of the masonry at the entrances. EDWARD BAINES, ESQ.—Last week Mr. Baines had a very severe attack of illness, and on Sunday last his friends were under great alarm for the result. We are happy to say that since that day he has experienced a gradual though slow revival, and that hopes are now with considerable confidence entertained of his re covery.

COST OF THE MIXED GUAGE.—We do not hesi tate to say that the mixed guage already sanctioned by the House of Commons cannot be efficiently laid dow n under the extra cost of one million, or worked for less (including the interest on the money) than an extra annual outlay of 100,0001.—From Robert &Ste phenson and Locke's Report. BIRMINGHAM, SATURDAY.—The Irish Confederates and Chartists in this town continue to hold their nightly assemblages; but hitherto they have evinced no dispo sition to commit a breach of the peace.

SlR,—There never was a week more admirably cal culated to baffle the wisest computations of the most "clear brain'd seers" than that which has just closed upon the meeting at Goodwood. The immense quantity of rain which fell during, and immediately previous to the races, having ren dered the course not merely ordinarily heavy; but really in a state of absolute mortar, so that for any thing in the form of a race -horse to , gal lop over it, was almost a matter of perfect impossi bility, and therefore the result of several of the contests cannot be taken as a fair and safe criterion of the rela tive merits of the contending animals. This remark applies more particularly to the juvenile competitors for two-year old honours ; many of whom, although de feated, will live to snatch the wreath from off their vic tor's btows at the forthcoming reunion at Doncaster. But although the weather has been greatly opposed to us gentlemen who deal in " mystical lore," ye: for my owe part I have nothing to complain of,—fortune, I be lieve, has dealt more kindly with me, than she has done with any of my brother prophets, towards some of whom she has acted really most cruelly, having given them of a truth " scarcely ought but frowns. For the benefit of those who may not have seen my prophecy, in your columns of Moaday last, or who hav ing seen it may not have retained it in their memory. I shall hero repeat it, placing the prediction and the result of each race in juxtaposition, so that they may have a fair opportunity of praising it or condemning it, as they may feel inclined.

Bunn recovered a verdict with 2,500/. damages against Mdlle. Jenny Lind for breach of an engagement, is still in litigation. The next proceeding will be a writ of error on the part of the defendant, which cannot b.. argued in the Exche quer Chamber before Michaelmas Term in November. Mr. Justice Erlo has lately been engaged in settling a bill of exceptions tendered on the trial, and by an order made, the damages, with 1,0001. for costs, have been paid into the Court of Queen's Bench. The costs in the cause have been taxed at nearly 7001., and the residue of the sum paid into Court is to meet the accruing ex• penses. The action was commenced in March, 1847 so that in all probability it will be about two years be' fore it will be finally decided.—Jekt Bull. BURNING A RAILWAY BRIDGE.—On Friday after noon the bridge which carries the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway over the Tyne, about four miles ou the Carlisle side of Hexham, was destroyed by fire. It was a wooden structure, and in consequence of the high wind which was blowing at the time the entire bridge was speedily in filmes. The engines from the districts were but of trifling avail in checking the conflagration. The passage of the trains will necessarily be much impeded by this unfortunate event. The bridge was known generally by the name of the Warden.

SUICIDE IN TIIE PENITENTIARY.--An inquest wa s held in the Milbank prison on Saturday, on the b o d y o f Lewis Cocks, a convict, who hanged himself in his cell. The prisoner had been low-spirited, and had asked to have Charley," another convict, to be allowed to work with him; he had also recet,ve, letter from his wife, which deeply affected him. The jury returned a verdict of " Temporary Insanity."

Now, this is not treating M'Gee, for instance, fairly; for, as a writer, speaker, and organiser, he is, to use a familiar description, the " daddy' of the whole lot of patriots recently outlawed. Subjoined are particulars of the latest arrests. It will be observed that at six o'clock last evening the town of Nenagh did not exhibit the least excitement or sympa thy for Mr. Lalor, who was expected there in custody every hour. (From the Nenagh Guardian of last night.) " ARREST OP MR. JAMES F. LALOR. " Just as we were going to press, a strong force of the 34th, numbering about eighty, and twenty-four of the police, under the command of the Sub-Inspector O'Dell, left town, for the purpose of escorting to our gaol Mr. James F. Lalor, who had been arrested by constable M'Cann and a party of police from Borrisoleigh, in the house of Mr. Kennedy of Ballahane. It appears Mr. Lalor had been sojourning in the vicinity of Temple derry, &c., for the last few days, and that he had been addressing the people in the most seditious and revolu tionary language. He has been arrested under the re cent Act of Parliament. " Six o'clock P.M. " The police and military have not yet arrived vi ith Mr. Lalor.

" Mr, Lalor is on his way to Nenagh gaol, escorted by a strong guard, but up to the above hour has not ar rived in town." It is clear that the Nenao Guardian—a paper pub lished in the least loyal portion of Tipperary—has no fears for the future. Hear what it says this morning . "The Queen's troops and a half brigade of artillery would puzzle all the tailors, drapers' boys, shoemakers, nailors, and labourers, which the lanes and alleys could disgorge, or who might he aided by a force of all the labourers from the surrounding country. We have no fears therefore as to the peace and quietness of our dis trict being disturbed—nor do we think that any out break in any other county or locality will be attempted. Not but we think that if there were no forces opposed to the whole movement, its leaders and members woulr show an immense amount of heroism and bravery. The greatest bullies are always the greatest cowards—and iii the case of the clubbists, they quietly and very judi ciously dissolved themselves, their threats, treasons, plots, and stratagems." TUE SEDITION CASES AT CORK. YesterdaytheeitJCOf the Crown announced that the county grand jury had found true bills against the fol lowing parties. The indictments were drawn upon long sheets of parchment, and seemed to be very volumi nous:—Ralph Varian, Isaac Stephen Varian, John Walter Bourke, Denis Philip Lyons, John O'Brien, and George Allman. The traversers having taken their places at the bar, Sir COLMAN OTOGHLEN said he had not seen the indictment, and was unprepared to go on with the case of the traversers. _ _ ... The COURT directed that copies of the indictments should be furnished to the traversers' counsel. . .

DUBLIN, SATURDAY EVENING.—We have a new ' batch of rumours iu the town to-day, some absurd and improbable enough. One of them represents Mr. Smith O'Brien at the head of 50,000 men in Tipperary, while Waterford, Limerick, and Cork, are preparing to march for the head-quarters of " the Army of Independence." As to Mr. Smith O'Brien himself, it is we believe, quite certain, that he has made up his mind to resist the war rant for his arrest. Whether ha will be supported in that determination or not remains to be seen. The Catholic clergy, to their credit be it said, are almost to a man opposed to violence and bloodshed, and unless stimulated, or at least countenanced, by the clergy, the people will be very reluctant to embroil themselves in a contest with the military. The following from a corre spondent of the Freeman, is the latest authentic intelli gence of Mr. O'Brien's proceedings:— On Tuesday, at one o'clock, P.m, W. S. O'Brien, Esq., M.P., accompanied by J. B. Dillon, Esq., barrister-at law, P. Donoughoe, and C. T. Cantwell, Esqs., with a few other Dublin gentlemen, arrived at Mulli nahone, whence they proceeded to the residence of Benjamin Wright, Esq. Immediately after their arrival a vast number of men flocked from . the surrounding parishes, amounting to at least five thousand persons, who assembled round the wall in front of Mr. Wright's residence. After the people had as sembled, Mr. O'Brien addressed them at great length; he was followed by J. B. Dillon, Esq., who was cheered several times. Loud calls were then made for Mr. Thomas Wright, who immediately got upon the wall and spoke for nearly an hour to the vast assembly, during which he advised the parties not to do any act that would not become men, and that he hoped things would pass oil' without violence, awl that the Government would see the necessity of doing what would better the condition of the people. It being now five o'clock, the crowd sepa rated until seven, when they again assembled and re mained quietly in the town until clear day in the morn ing. Mr. O'Brien advised them to return to their homes, and that he would be glad to address them on his depar ture the following day. After breakfast they began to assemble again and remained cheering until Mr. O'Brien left at one o'clock, when all the party escorted him to Ballingarry and Slievierdah collieries. Owing to the in fluence of Mr. Wright's family, good order was pre served all through without any person being in the least injured or insulted. It is now said that the warrant for the arrest of Mr. O'Brien was sent by mistake to Limerick, and returned on Wednesday. By the mail of Wednesday night a new warrant was dispatched to Tipperary in charge of an inspector of the metropolitan police. Mr. Eugene O'Reilly, a rather prominent leader of the Confederates, and against whom a warrant had been issued, surrendered himself to The magistrates, and has been committed to Kilmainham under the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act. Mr. O'Reilly took this step at the instance, or on the compulsion rather, of his father, a respectable solicitor, who accompanied his son to the police-office. The prisoner, who is an extremely prepossessing young man of education, with good expec tations, formed one of the Irish embassy to Paris, with the ultimate view of entering the French army. !laving, however, taken a few lessons in military tac tics, he changed his mind, and returned to Ireland, where he shortly afterwards became president of one of the clubs. MORE ARRESTS AND OUTLAWRIES. Several additional arrests of men charged with " trea sonable practices" were made to-day. A considerable number of the leading clubbists and writers of treason have absconded. The following is from the Hue and Cry ' of this morning. leder, Halpin, and two others have been arrested since this publication:— " Dublin Castle, July 28, 1848. batteries of artillery, the 74th 1114;1;:anders. from Ship street Barracks, a Company of the 60th Rifles, and a well stored commissariat, were put in motion, and at 6 o'clock the whole of this auxiliary force was on its route to the disturbed districts. Major-General Macdonald, second in command to Prince George of Cambridge, ha 73 proceeded to take charge of the southern diArict. The 85th Light Infantry, now in Richmond Barracks, and two more companies of tho Rifles, proceed to morrow as further reinforcements to the army in the south. A company of artillery, with fi'Ad battery, landed here from England this morning. From 80 to 100 young men connected with the Dub lir. clubs are prowling about town, seeking to make tinir escape to the disturbed districts with the desperate determination of taking their stand by their belea guered leader, whose fortunes, they say, they will follow to the death. DRILLING AND TRAINING. Jeremiah Hodnett, Edward Cronegan, Richard Far r(ll, Daniel Downing, James Barton, Daniel Doherty, William Terry, and John Hartigan, were placed at the bar, charged with having, on the 16th April, at Youghal, unlawfully attended, and being present at, a meeting and a,sembly of persons, for the purpose of drilling and train ing themselves, and of practising military evolutions, and that they did drill and train others in the use of fire arms, against the pace. There were two additional counts varying the charge, and a fourth count for being present at an unlawful assembly. The prisoners pleaded not guilty, and traversed to the spring assizes, 1849. DUBLIN, SUNDAY, 6 A.M. It is sstisfactory to learn that the accounts from the F outli of Ireland agree in reporting the country along the line of railway as perfectly quiet. After the arrival of the train, which arrived at 3 15 this morning, the report was spread that a party of the constabulary, about fifty in number, under the command of Mr. Trant, were surrounded on the common of Kil cooly, and had taken refuge in a slate housr. Mr. Trant had sent an express fur a reinforcement to relieve him. Another rumour stated that the chapel belle were ringing, and that crowds of people with scythes and every kind of weapon they could lay hold of wore com ing into Urlingford, where it was said Mr. William Smith O'Brien had arrived, accompanied by a clever engneer. THE PROVINCES. SuTh of the southern provincial journals as arrived by this mort . iing's mail contain little or no intelligence re;pecting the movements of the insurrectionary leaders. In Nenagh ample military preparations are being made to prevent any outbreak. — -The Guardian says:— " It is with feelings of pleasure we announce, that Government contemplate immediately erecting a large aN.I commodious barrack in the town of Nenagh, the site for which has been purchased from Mr. T. T. Abbott, of Nenagh. It will be capable of accommodating 1,000 men, and there will be a wing attached for the recep tion of at least a squadron of cavalry. On Friday, the 2Sth inetant, the tents for the formation of a camp were eccurted into Nenagh from Bird-hill by a party of the 34th. On Saturday, the 29th, 300 men of the 59th Regiment, from Templemore, under com loam! of Lieutenant-Colonel Trevor, will march in here. Soon after arriving in tcwa they will pitch their tents in the field taken for the purpose, and in less than an hour from commencing oper a ti on s the novel and impos ing sight of 300 troops beneath a military encampment will be witnessed for the first time, we believe, even in Nenagh. Lieutenant-Colonel Trevor will command the Nenagh garrison. On Sunday, the 30th, a troop of the Bth Royal Irish Hussars will mar c h i n t o this town from Fethard, and on M on d a y a t roo p o f t h e I s t D ragoon Guards will arrive from Cahir, and occupy quarters here for some time." In I".ilkenny the precautions are of a similar na ,ure:— " Oa Thursday evening a company of the 89th Regi ment arrived in Kilkenny, as a reinforcement to this garrison, and a company of the 83d came in yesterday morning. 500 soldiers are quartered in camps erected along the great square of the infantry barracks. A troop of Light Dragoons en route from Newbridge to Girlow halted here for a couple of days, but marched forward on Thursday. The police-force has also been augmented, and a large number of the constabulary are located in a spacious house taken for their accommoda tion in Patrick-street." By the following accounts from the Carlow Sentinel, it will be seen that matters are proceeding satisfactorily in that district: — MILITARY PREPARATIONS.—Four hundred rank and filo of the 3d Buffs arrived by the mail train in Carlow at eleven o'clock on Thursday night, accompanied by their Lieutenant-Colonel, Sir James Dennis, K.C.8., and, after halting for a few minutes, they continued their march during the night to join the other battalions of the same regiment, encamped near Carrick-on-Suir. The military were in fine spirits, and confidently, if not eagerly, anticipated a conflict. The Government are acting with spirit and promptitude. The "King of Munster" is so completely hemmed in he cannot escape, and he will soon be drawn from his hiding-place, if not shot at the bead of his deluded followers.

MOCK FUNERALS.—At an early hour on Tuesday morning last a hearse was seen driving rapidly through Clonmel, surrounded by about fourteen horsemen. The cortege was stopped outside the town by the police, and tile hearse searched, when it was ascertained that, in stead of a dead body, the hearse contained a large quan tity of arms, which were being conveyed to the rural districts. FLIGHT OF THE PIKE RETAILERS FROM CARLOW. — In our last publication we felt it to be our imperative duty, in the maintenance of public order, to call atten tion to the arrival of three adventurers from the metro polis, who, hunted out of Dublin by the " proclamation," fixed their head-quarters in Carlow, with the view of effecting the sale of an extensive stock of firearms and pikehoads, ready for active service. From the moment the depot opened, the constabulary kept up without in termission a strict surveillance over the premises, care fully recording the names of the purchasers. On the following day (Sunday) the venerable prelate, Dr. Maly, ascended the pulpit and denounced, not only the pike mart, but cautioned the people, as they valued the peace of the country and their own security, to dis countenance, in every possible manner, the adventu rers who dared to fist themselves iu Carlow for the sale of firearms. On Monday the grand jury assem bled, and after the disposal of the fiscal business, they drew up an address to his Excellency, calling on him to adopt immediate measures for the suppression of this nuisance in Carlow, as well as all revolutionary and political clubs. The cross fire from the venerable Bishop, the local authorities, and the press, was felt to he too hot for the pike commissaries, they took to their heels on Tuesday evening en route to Enniseorthy - apprehensive of being arrested, and gratified, we learn,' from their excited and terrified appearance, that they were not snore roughly handled in Carlow. As the police are en their track, we have no doubt the pike retailers will be compelled to quit the country. Since the foregoing was written, we learn that the adventurers were desirous of making a stand in Tullow. Here, to the credit of the• inhabitants, they manifested a determination to break the van, and throw the arms it contained into the river Slauey. The opposition was so vigorous, they fled from ` - fullow to Newtonharry, and on Wednesday evening they were compelled to decamp to some other town, or, what is more likely, they croz,s,'d the Channel to Bris tol. Thus terminated the crusade of the rebel commis saries. LORD HARDIN GE'S APPOINT- MENT TO IRELAND. Lieutenant-General Viscount Harding() arrived at his residence in Great Stanhope-street yesterday afternoon, from Ponhurst, Kent, where in the forenoon he took farewell of the Viscountess and family.
