' Yesterday afternoon a party of eleven Chartist dele gates were apprehended by the police in a public-house, called the Orange Tree, Orange -street, off Holborn. At the houses of several a quantity of powder, ball cart ridg.', tow and fire-balls to be used, it is supposed, for incendiary purposes, was also seized. Later in the even ing twelve, men armed with pikes, daggers, and old swords, were arrested at the Angel public-house, Black friars-road. From information received from an authentic source, as well as from personal observation, the reporter ob tamped the following particulars, which may be relied upon as being perfectly free from exaggeration: — It appears that on private information received by the Government, a strong body of the P division of police were ordered to assemble at the L division in Tower street. The men were armed with cutlasses, and were joined by about 150 constables and sergeants of the L division. The men belonging to the M section were also on duty at the Stones•endstation, under the direction of Mr. Superintendent Evans. About half-past nine o'clock, on a signal given, Super intendent Rutt and InspEctors Carter, Evans, Arnold, and Rogers, with nearly 300 men, marched off to the Angel Tavern, in Webber -street, kept by Mr. Smith. Mr. Butt, with a pair of loaded pistols and a cutlass at his side, entered the building, accompanied by a strong body of constables. At the same time upwards of a hundred officers were drawn up in front of the premises, all under arms. The moment the police entered the tap-room, or par lour, a general movement took place on the part of the persons there assembled, when Mr. Rutt cried out, "If any man offers the least resistance, I will run him through,'' at the same time showing his drawn cutlass. This had the desired efiect, and little or no resistance was offered. The police then in a body laid hold of fourteen men who were in the room, and con veyed them under a strong guard to Tower street, where upon being searched, pistbls loaded up to the muzzle, pikes, Ors e-edged daggers, spear-heads, and swords, were found, some upon the persons of the pri soners, and others secreted under the seats on which they had been sitting. Some were armed with iron breast-plates, and under one man no less than 75 rounds of ball-cartridge were found. These, of course, were taken possession of by Mr. Rutt, and safely lodged at Tower-street station, where also are deposited the pikes and other implements taken from the mob. Mr. Superintendent Butt and Inspector Russell, from private information which they received, proceeded to Blue Anchor-yard, York -street, Westminster, where it was stated a gang of armed Chartists were waiting to march out and join the other parties, in the event of a procession being formed. On entering the house, a well known leader and a large pike were taken. The seizure, it appears, was made before any other parties had time to reach the house. A strong body of men are, how ever, at this hour waiting in the neighbourhood, ready to pounce upon any suspicious persons who may be seen making their way to the place. The whole of the Me tropolitan and City police not on duty in the streets are in reserve at the several station-houses under arms, and ready to march off' to any part, in case their services should be required. Upon the police proceeding to the house of Samuel Morgan, one of the men taken by the L division, they found the leg of a chair loaded with lead and a number of nails driven in at the extremity. It was about the length of a policeman's truncheon, and so heavily laden that a violent blow on the head with it must have caused instantaneous death. Swords and weapons of various kinds have been found at the residences of other pri soners. Mr. Inspector Carter and several constables have just proceeded in a body to search the abodes of the other persons captured. The whole of the military quartered at Buckingham Palace, the Tower, Mint, Bank of England,:and the va rious barracks are under arms, and a continuous com munication is being kept up between the Metropolitan and City police, as well as with the military and other official bodies. From what has already transpired, it is supposed that the Chartists and Confederate clubs intended to march out well armed, as they did some weeks back, and at tack such buildings as might be pointed out to them. Shortly after the capture was made in Webber-street, a meeting was attempted to be held at the South London Chartist-hall, in the same street, when one of the leaders rushed into the building, and advised them for God's sake to disperse, as their lives were in danger. In an instant a general rush took place for the street, and one man in leaping from a side window severely injured himself', and it is rumoured broke one of his legs. she resumed her lead, and kept it until near the mile-post, when it was taken by Antagonist, followed by Cosachia and.Vampyre. This trio ran in advance to the half-mile post, where Tarcl:a took the running up, Antagonist second, and Cosachia third. The race terminated in this order, Tarella, winning by a length, and Antagonist beating Cosachia, by a head; Vampyre a bad fourth. llun in 4 min. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

There was a good demand for bowed at 4jgto 44 for export. Railway Shares had again declined. It is stated in accounts from Belgium that the Russian Government has protested against the incorporation of Lim burg with Germany, and considers it an infraction of the Treaty of 1839. The Cabinet of Berlin is said to take the same view. The accounts from Ireland, relative to the potato crops, are of a very unfavourable character, and there is much anxiety upon the subject, because, even at present, the weather is of a fluctuating character. The duty upon foreign Wheat is reduced to Ss. per quarter. The advices from the Continent notice some symptoms of improvement again in the monetary and commercial mar kets, but nothing of a decided character. It is affirmed in deed that the manufacturing interests of Silesia are suffering greatly, and many people have come to the conclusion that France will be restored to a fair condition of prosperity even before Germany and Italy. The distress that exists in Paris nod many of the departments no one can deny, but there are symptoms of improvement, which the cordial understanding with England, as fully ex plained last night in Parliament by Lord Palmerston, will serve to strengthen, provided General Cavaignac can main tain internal tranquillity. The delivery of the Liverpool letters this morning was delayed for some Vane, and the rumour became general that a serious accident had occurred. The particulars, however, will doubtless be found in another column of The Sun. The failure of the Canal Bank at Albany, United States, appears to have occasioned serious inconvenience to the mercantile operations of that city, from the extent of its en gagements, and the number of business-men whose funds were intrusted to its custody. Its condition is found to be worse than was at first supposed. The amount of its indebtedness is stated to be about 600,000 dollars, exclusive of its capital stock, amounting to 300,000 dollars, of which about 160,000 dollars consist of bills in circulation, and the large amount of the deposits of individuals, and of country banks. The receiver, on taking possession of its assets, found in money, exclusive of its own notes and notes of broken banks, only a three dollar bill of current money, and about 1,000 dollars in specie. The Albany Evening Journal, which a few days previously had expressed the opinion that the assets would be sufficient to remunerate, ultimately,: the bill holders and depositors, now retracts the opinion, and remarks that it is not justified by subsequent developments, the amount of circulation and deposits being greater than had been represented, and the assets less valuable. By a recent Act of the State the circulation, in case of insolvency of a bank, is made a preferable debt, and every bill must be paid before any creditor of any other description receives any thing.

(liornsity, jun.) /11 A 1 K 1 A G E. One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a 1 sense et right determine the former, and miscalculateA hopes em 'sitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un zonaprosing hurry ; but the trnth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set :lement. Honour and justice demand tkat health should form an item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or aeglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little MEMOIRS 'On Single and Married Life, " pub, in 2 vols., Is. each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let' no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or •ogether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other ittle publications claim your attention (same price is. each, by post le. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always tbs " sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of ,herwood, 23, Paternoster-row; Carvalho, 147, Fleet-street ; Mann, 39, Cornhill ; Nelson, 457, West Strand ; or direct (by post or other wise) from the author (who may be conferred with personally, m wninas and evenings), 10, Argyll-plaeo Regent-street; and all Booksellers. The probable effect upon the Money Market, of a defi cient harvest, begins to be discussed more generally, and has its effect upon the public securities.

DUBLIN, AuG. 15.—The Court sat this morning at ten o'clock, when, the names of the jury having been called over, Mr. Vernon was put on the table, and proved that Mr. Martin was the registered proprietor of the Felon newspaper. Martin Healy, police-constable, proved that he pur chased a copy of the Felon on the 24th of June. The office was so crowded on that day that he could not get a copy from any one engaged in the office, but he pur chased it from a nevvsvender. Martin Redmond, a detective, gave similar evidence as to the number on the Bth of July. It was proved by other policemen that they pur chased two copies of the Felon in the office. After some procedure, The Court ruled that nothing should be given in evidence under the Act unless what wae.an overt act, and, consequently, evidence of the compassings and imaginings. They could give nothing as an overt act in itself which was not specifically pointed out in the indictment, but might read other articles as bearing the character of the specified overt acts. The Court then ordered that nothing should be read unless what was set out in the indictment. Mr. BUTT then said that the Attorney-General read yesterday, in his address to the jury, a letter signed by Mr. Lalor, which was not in the indictment, and he would now call on him to read that letter again. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then proceeded to read the leading article in the Felon of June 24. Mr. BUTT rose to address the jury, and proceeded at great length to rebut the arguments of the Attorney- General, and concluded as follows :—lf, on a calm con sideration of the evidence, you could believe my client guilty of the charge laid in the indictment, of course it would be your duty to say so; but it should be a verdict not founded on speculation or an impulse, but on evi dence coercive to your minds. You are trying my client upon the evidence, and upon that alone, and for the sake of the Constitution I implore you to bear that in mind. If you do not observe that plain and necessary rule—if you do :not make the evidence, and the evidence only, your guide in forming your verdict, deeply as I care for the interest of my client, I would forget his case in the deeper feeling for the liberties of my country. If you decide this case upon the views or principles laid down by the Crown, or otherwise than upon a calm and ra tional view of the evidence submitted to you, and a due and careful consideration of the whole case, the liberties of the country may be looked upon as sacrificed, unless the verdict of another jury shall redeem them from the perils in which they would assuredly be placed. At the conclusion of the Learned Gentleman's speech, a murmur of applause ran through the court. The audience expressing, as far as the order of the Court would admit, their high sense of the great force and elo• quence of the address throughout. Mr. James Martin sworn—l am a brother of John Martin, the prisoner at the bar. I reside with him at Loughorne, near Newry. I attended a meeting held at Newry, on the 17th of March, at which my brother de livered a speech. I read a report of it a day or two after in the Newry Examiner, which I believe to be a correct one, as to the substance of what he said. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected to the admissibi lity of this evidence, but after a lengthened discussion by counsel, it was permitted to be received, and the case for the traverser closed. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL then replied on the part of the Crown. He said that the prosecution was insti tuted for the purpose of punishing a party whose con duct they felt it their duty to bring into a court of justice, and to call for the verdict of a jury, under circumstances such as they deemed what led to this prosecution fully justified. The Learned Gentleman then referred to the ancient law of trea son, to the circumstances under which the present Act had been passed, and to the alterations which were thereby effected in the law. The question, he said, which the jury had to try was, whether the prisoner did in tend to depose the Queen, or to levy way against her, in order to compel her to change her measures, and did ex press that intention by some publication. If they were of opinion that the published numbers of the Felon con tained articles exhibiting the felonious intent on the part of the writer to levy war against the Queen, it would be conclusive evidence that the prisoner entertained that in tent, There was no other mode of arriving at the pri soner's intentions, save by his own publications. If it were not so, the law would be wholly inoperative, as there would be no means for a jury to arrive at the inten tion of the party. The charge against Mr. Martin was, that he entertained certain felonious intentions, which were expressed in articles published in his own news paper. After some other remarks, the Solicitor-General concluded:—The unfortunate man, the prisoner at the bar, was charged with having made thole felonious at tempts, and it would be for the jury to say if his justifi cation was to be grounded on abuse of the Attorney- General of the country? Baron PENNEFATHER said—lt may be right to say, Mr. Solicitor, that we did not stop some things which were said, because of an assertion that they were rele vant to the issue, and because of our supposition that they would lead to an explanation of the case in which some stress was laid on giving in as evidence the title of this newspaper. The ease referred also to remarks on Mitchel's trial, and we could not say or anticipate all that was said, and we could not therefore say it was irrelevant. The CHIEF BARON—In the course of the Learned Counsel's address some matters were introduced which were irrelevant. But for the reasons stated by my Learned Colleague, the Court did not interpose, though both my brother Baron and myself were of the same opi nion, that those matters were irrelevant, and ought not to have been introduced; but there were matters which l d introduced not have s we expected would b e r e pli e d t o . Mr. BUTT—I beg to a ssu r e y ou r L or d s hip s t h at I would p th o e ke s n ub o j n e e cts wo l r d d id o , f if th th o e se A matters, ttorney-G no e r have ou . neral had not challenged me to do so. I feel obliged to your Lordships for what you have said. The SO LICITOR - G ENERAL then resumed, and said he trusted that nothing which had fallen from him with reference to the late topic, would have the least effect on the minds of the jury as b • earin g on the prisoner's case. The Learned Ge n tl eman then proceeded to explain his views of the law with reference to the charge alleged against the prisoner. H e w as proceeding when Baron PENNEFATHER said—Mr. Solicitor-General, now, having said so much, I would say it would be, per haps, better that you should postpone y our observations on the evidence till the morning. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL—I am entirely in your Lordships' hands. I agree it would be too much for the Chief Baron and the jury, that we should remain until I close my remarks, and his Lordship charged the jury, besides, it is not desirable that the case should be laid before the jury, who are doubtless fatigued. Baron PENNEFATIIER—Then, gentlemen, we adjourn till ten o'clock to-morrow—you will be accommodated as usual. The Foreman —My Lord, we are glad of it, as we all would prefer such comfortable quarters as we occupied last night, to being hlocked up for the night in thejury room.—(Laughter.) The Court then rose and adjourned to ten o'clock this day. POSTPONEMENT OF THE TRIAL OF CHARLES GAVAN DUFFY. In reply to a question from the Court, as to whether there was any other business for the city grand jury, or whether they might not be discharged? The ATTORNEY. GENERAL stated that he intended, on the part of the Crown, to put in an affidavit, on which would be grounded an application to postpone the trial of Charles Gavan Duffy, against whom bills had been already found for felony. The Court then directed the city grand jury to attend next day, at twelve o'clock. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNING.—The southern mail. which reached Dublin at three o'clock this morning, brings no intelligence of any interest from the south. The Fre eman o f t hi s morn i ng h as the following:— THE STATE PRISONERS—THE BISHOP AND THE CLERGY OF DERRY. We are in a position to state that the illustrious pre late of the north, Dr. Maginn, and his patriotic and learned clergy, have al rea dy a d o pted and fottnded a join in a more ext en d e d nat i ona l movemen t, having memorial for a n amnesty , an d w ill a l so b e p re pared to for its object the immediate amelioration of the condition of the people. THE POTATO CROP. The accounts from the provinces this morning, in refe rence to the potato crop, are just what might have been expected after the dreadful weather of the last five or six days. All the country papers and their corre spondents concur in representing the late crop as com pletely destroyed; and they also speak most despondingly of the corn crops. The only chance of the latter lies in the return of warm and dry weather, of which there is no appearance this morning. MEETING OF THE IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT IN DUBLIN. A numerous meeting of gentlemen favourable to the project of holding occasional sittings of the Imperial Parliament in Dublin, was held on Monday, at the house of Surgeon Carmichael, Rutland •square. Among those present were the Right Hon. Lord Cloncurry, the Earl of Miltown, Lord William Fitzgerald, Sir Montagu Chapman, Sir D. Roche, Ilercules Robinson, R.N.; Surgeon Carmichael, Dr. Maunsel, Dr. Grattan, Gus tavus Hamilton, T.C.; Godfrey Levinge, B. M. Tabu teau, Thomas J. Featherstone Hough, Hans Hamilton, C. King, R.N.; Sir Rowland Eustace, Bart.; J. L. Na pier, Loughcrew. A series of resolutions wire proposed and carried, and the meeting adjourned till Monday next. Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN.-It is said that Mr. Whiteside, Q.C., has been retained for the defence of Mr. Smith O'Brien. DismissAL or Da. CANE.—Dr. Cane, of Kilkenny, has been dismissed from the commission of the peace. FOREIGN CORN.--A Parliamentary paper pub lished yesterday shows that the gross quantity of foreign corn, &c., imported since the Ist day of March, on which the duties have been remitted, amounts to 165,557 quarters. ASIITON, WEDNESDAY. It has been ascertained since yesterday that the Char tists left their meeting-room about eleven o'clock, and separated at once. They met again in less than an hour in large numbers, all apparently armed with pikes, &c., and marched through the streets in military order, their heavy clogs ringing loudly on the pavement, and attracting the attention of the inhabitants. They came in the direction of Oldham •road, where Bright, the po liceman, was on duty. An old man, named Warren, was passing at this moment, and fearing that the policeman would be in danger, made up to him, at which time he heard lain a , king the mob it at any time he had injured them, and was begging th a t th ey wou ld no t hurt him. At this point another policeman was seen by the mob, when most of them left Bright and gave chase after him down Stamford -street. Several shots were fired, but none of them took effect, and he succeeded in making his escape. Several of the mob in a few minutes returned to Bright. One man levelled his pike and thrust at him. Warren, who was still with Bright, seized this pike by the blade, by which his hand was wounded. Somebody then thrust a second pike quite through Bright's thigh. At this Warr en, alarmed for his own safety, began to retire; he had not gone many yards, however, when he turned round and saw a pistol preswnted to Bright, which was instantly fired, and he fell. At this Warren ran off as fast as pos sible. A person named Slater, who lives close to the spot where the murder was committed, was aroused by the noise of the party marchi ng . Be and bis wife im mediately got up, and saw from the bedroom-window a great mob; in a ew minutes they heard the report of a gun, and Mrs. Slater going to another window which looked into another street sa w a man lying in the gutter. Just before the shot, M r . Slater distinctly the words "make ready," an d immediately after he heard the same voice loudly say, "Join, join, when the whole party formed into something like order, and quickly marched off. The magistrates examined a large number of persons yesterday, some were discharged and the rest were re manded, but up to the present time no clue has been obtained to the murder.

Two of the principal events having been reserved for the second, or, as it is usually termed, the ‘. grand" d'ay, and the weather having turned out favourable, the ire tropolitans, as well as the country people, gathered in sufficient numbers to give a successful wind-up to a meeting which in its commencement was not at all g en couragin ' to those chiefly interested in its success. Bet ting was rather more animated than on Tuesday, an d t h e sport ample, if not exciting. The list, notwithstanding two of the races were in heats, was got through before half-past live o'clock, and fortunately so, as a shower, immediately alter the horses passed the winning chair, rroved the forerunner of a very wet evening. The Surrey and Middlesex Stakes of 25 sovs. each, 15 ft, and only 5 if declared, with 50 added ; the second to save his stake. Two miles and a distance. (18 Subs., 9 of whom pay 5 sovs. each.)

Only ono match took place. The weather was calm, ti~ith baffling winds. For a Cup, value 501., for yachts of any Royal Club, above 15 tuns and not exceeding 25 tons, the following started:- Prima Donna... 25 tons ... J. Ives, Esq. Secret .. 25 tons ... John Wicks, Esq. . . Fleur de Marie, 25 tons ... T. Hodges. Won by the Secret; the Fleur de Marie gavo up the contest. There was a number of boat races and duck hunts, which caused considerable animation. SECOND DAY. There were two sailing matches, which, at dusk, were ❑ot decided. Her Majesty was present this day in the afternoon, and was saluted by the Commodore's yacht, the Gem, in fine style. Her Majesty returned to Os borne about seven r.m. The weather was nearly calm throughout the day, and the yachts in one match drifted outside the Needles, at nine r.sr., on their return, off ltyde, but as they are to go round the Nab, they cannot be expected at the goal before to•morrow morning. GEORGE STEPHENSON, THE AUTHOR OF THE RAl',way . SYSTEM .—The merchants and manufacturers of Liverpool and Manchester began to consider the possibility of availing themselves, for the transport of raw and manufactured goods between these two great towns, of those means of transport which had been found so useful in the coal tracts of Northumberland and Durham. They did not at first contemplate any thiag more than a solidly constructed tramway to be worked by horse power. Fortunately they placed the execution of their project under the direction of George Stephenson, at th a t t i me one of the most eminent of the colliery engineers — a man whose mechanical ge nius is of that order that it may, without exaggera tion, be asserted, that if Watt bad not previously in vented the steam-engin e , h e was capable of achieving it. Burn in the humblest rank of life, self-educated, endowed with an industry, energy, and indomitable perseverance which rendered his manifold and emi nently practical abilities fully available to his employers, he early obtained an independent position and a high re putation in his profession ; but he might have lived and died unknown beyo n d t h e district of his earlier labours, had it not been his well-deserved good fortune to com mence and complete a work which, in extent, grandeur, and utility, rivals even those roads which, after with standing for centuries the attacks of time and barbarism, still testify the power and wisdom of ancient Rome. Others before him prepared the way ; others since have contributed valuable improvements in detail ; but to George Stephenson unquestionably belongs the proud title of the Author of the Railway System. He gathered the many threads of ingenuity, and enterprise and weaved th em i nto t h e w i de-spreading net-work which promises, in its manifold extension, to envelope the whole world in bonds of commerce, civizilation, and peace. But with all his far-seeing genius, and all his talents, he does not possess those minor arts which contribute not a little to secure cotemporary, in addition to posthumous, applause: arts by which lesser men keep themselv a e n s d co s n e: &tautly before the eyes of an admirin g . au di enc e , cure constantly re-echoing applause for conqueri ng.dif ficulties by themselves created,—Sidney's Railway Sys tem Illustrated. [ADVERTISEMENT.].—Scorbutic humours Cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—Extract of a letter from Mr. George F. Williams, of Blackrock, near Cork, dated June 14, 1848.—T0 Professor Holloway, Sir —I beg to state for your satisfaction and for the information of the afflicted, the wonderful effects your Ointment and Pills have had upon me. I have suffered severely from Scorbutic humours, and for the last seven years my eyes have been dreadfully sore; during that period I tried almost every remedy without obtaining the least relief ; at last I was prevailed upon to use your invaluable me dicines, which I did, and I am delighted to say that I am perfectly cured by them.

The Earl of Chichester presided, and among the numerous and distinguished persons present were—the Bishop of Chichester, the Earl and Countess of Chichester and the Ladies Pelham, Earl and Countess 02 Sheffield, Lady Susan Holroyd and the Hon. Douglas Holroyd, the Earl and! Countess of Morton and the Ladies Douglas, Lord and Lady Headly, Lord Dufferin, Lord Abinger, Lord Pevensey, and Sir Henry and Lady Shiffner. With the exception of the members of the society paying visits to the Castle, the churches of St. Ann, St. Michael, and St. John, and the new De We renne Cemetery, the proceedings . of the day were chiefly confined to the reading of some interesting papers, and the exhibition of various antiquities. Upwards of two hundred persons partook of the collation, but the unfa vourable state of the weather doubtless prevented a much larger number from being present. Papers from Belize, Honduras, to the end of June state that the mahogany cutters, not considering the prospect of affairs encouraging, were discharging their men. Under these circumstances it was not anticipated that business would improve. The refugees from Baca,- lar remained at Belize,-but they are represented as being in a desperate plight, barely subsisting on the remnant of property they had saved, in the shape of trinkets, &c. The Government of Guatemala was not yet relieved from its difficulties, but no certain informa- tion of the progress of affairs could be ascertained, mail communication having been for some time suspended. The letters from Havre received yesterday afternoon continue to give a favourable report of the state of busi ness in the cotton market.

EXTItAORMNARY CASE —A few weeks ago, when the , Ith Royal Irish Dragoon Guards were stationed at Nottingham Barracks, two of the privates qaarrelled, and une bit the other in the finger. The wound festered, and at length the man's whole body became affected, the bones, denuded of flesh, protruding through the skin. The sufferer lingered until Monday, when he was- re lieved by death. A dispatch had been sent to Manches ter (where the regiment is now stationed) for witnesses, and with orders fur the man who so savagely attacked the daeased to be taken into custody, piepa rutory to an inquest being held on the body. The case has excited great interest ill a medical poiut of view.
