CONEY --MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market to-day is firm, but quiet ; the inquiries being limited, and the supplies ample for all legitimate commercial purposes. There was an influx of gold at the Bank yester day of 24,000 sovereigns, from Alexandria. Two o'CLocx. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the French Rentes were 68f. 25c. Very excited. The Stock Exchange Markets have closed heavily through sales to close successful " Bull" operations. The tone of business, however, continues good, but it will not be a settled state of affairs until full confidence is reposed in Continental politics and money becomes easier. Moreover, it should be borne in mind that the proverbially dull season is at hand. The quietude witnessed to day is therefore not surprising. Consols have closed at 871 for transfer, and at 87i for the account, but the transactions have been limited. The de cline is s per cent. The transactions in the Foreign Market have not been very extensive. Turkish 5 per Cents. have declined to 281 294 ; Italian 5 per Cents. (1861) to s ii 52 ; ditto (1865) to 63 64 ; while Mexican stock has improved to 15f 16, and Spanish Passive to 191 20. In the Railway Share Market a fair amount of business has been transacted, and prices generally exhibit little change of importance. Great Eastern close at 302 312 ; Great Western, at 51 4524 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire at 1222 123 ; Lon don, Chatham, and Dover, 20 22 ; and South- Eastern, 69 70. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain at about previous rates. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are quiet. Alli ance are marked 232 23/ ; Consolidated, 5k 4 ; Imperial Ottoman, 8/ a ; London and Westminster, 93 i ; Credit Foncier and Mobilier of England, 1+ 1 dis. ; General Credit 1 11 dis. ; and National Discount Company, at 72 82 prem.

BARBAROUS DEVIC E OF THE SPANIARDS. NARROW ESCAPE OP TIIE STEAME R " WATEREE " FROM lIEING BLOWN UP.—The United States steamer Wateree E E escaped total destruction in the harbour of Callao. They Picked upa launch loaded with coal shoray after the They and after having it in tow two days, Cap tain Paulding ordered the coal to be taken on board, direct it.,g that if any in should be made after the lost la:lnch, the owner, when found, should be paid. There Warn about sixteen tons of English compressed coal, a kind of fuel made from coal dust and tar into square blocks from eight to twelve inches in diameter. After the Wateree had taken this coal on board, and a quantity of it had been thrown into the furnaces, one of the firemen happened to break open a block, and found in it a loaded six -pounder shell. Other blocks were opened with a similar result, and the fires were immediately extinguished. In the coal which had been put in the furnace were found four loaded sh ell, all of which when taken out were so hot that they could not be handled except on a shovel. There were also found in the coal, in addition to a great number of shells, several soda water bottles, filled with fulminating itiereurY• But for the timely discovery made by one of the firemen the boilers of the Wateree would have been torn out, and her mtqsazine undoubtedly exploded, destroying eve ry one on board. Upon investigation it was found that the coal had been fixed up when the Spaniards were heat in the winter of 1804 and 1865, and that it had been set adrift, to be picked up by some of which by this time must be short of fuel the frigat es , a ll of • SHARE 'his Day, ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS.

LAW INT. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Bejore Sir J. P. Wilde and a Common Jury.) GERRARD T. GERRARD AND BLUNDREL. Mr. Browne and Mr. Searle appeared for the petitioner, Mr. Inderwick for the respondent, and Dr. Spinks for the co-respOndent. _ _ The petitioner is a schoolmaster in Staffordshire, and petitioned the court for a dissolution of marriage with his wife on the ground of her adultery with the co-respondent, who is a beerhouso keeper. The respondent denied the adultery, and the co-respondent, in additional to denial, further pleaded cruelty on the part of the petitioner. The petitioner and respondent were married in the middle of 1861, but separated in the beginning of 1865. The adultery charged was alleged on the 31st of May in the latter year, at the house of a butcher named Johnson, who lived some distance from Henley. _ Mary Roberts, a married woman and daughter of John son, deposed that she was staying at her father's on the 31st of May, 1865, and about 7 o'clock in the morning she saw Mrs. Gerrard and Mr. Blundrel sitting together on the sofa in the drawing-room, and later in the day she saw them in a bed room together. In the course of cross-examination by Dr. Spinks it was elicited that they had all been drinking freely together during the day. Rebecca Johnson gave some corroborative evidence, and said that the respondent told her several times that her husband was very kind to her, but sho had no opportuni ties of judging of the terms on which they lived, as she did not visit at their house. Mrs. Gerrard had complained that she was short of money at the end of May, 1865. When respondent and co-respondent came to her house on the morning in question they were both the worse for drink, and she had heard that they had been out all night drink ing together. _ Rebecca Johnson, a barmaid at the Roebuck public house at Fosbroke, where the co-respondent resided, proved that one day in May, 1865, ho came to the house accom panied by the respondent, and they remained in the bar parlour for about an hour. She served them with brandy and water, and now she recollected that it was the 31st of May, because it was two days after Maypole-day. Some other witnesses wore also called for the petitioner's case. The jury found a verdict for the defendants. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.---This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. RESISTING THE POLICE AT HER MAJESTYS THEATRE. Sergeant M'Huge, 4 A, said he was on duty at her Majesty's Theatre yesterday evening about six o'clock, there being a large attendance, and in consequence a large number of servants present. To prevent confusion a place was set apart at the theatre, by the Commissioner of Police, for servants to wait in, but the defendant refused to go there, and stood at the door. He told the defendant that if he did not obey the regulations he should have to remove him, but he still re fused, and on attempting to remove him he resisted a good deal, and caused all the servants to come out, and i n consequence created great disorder. Ho then took the defendant into custody. . _ _ In answer to Mr. Knox, the sergeant said the defendan had been drinking. . Police-constable, 559 A, corroborated the sergeant. The defendant said he was treated very roughly by the sergeant, thrown down, and his clothes were torn. The sergeant denied this, stating that the defendant's clothes were torn through his resisting being taken into custody. Mr. Knox said he did not believe the defendant, and he should fine him 10s. or 7 days. THA MES. A FEMALE SAVAGE.—Catherine Moylan, 22, a married woman, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with assaulting Ellen Kay. Tho parties live in an Irish colony in Well-street, Poplar, the scene of many a row. The complainant and the prisoner's mother were quarelling, and they confined themselves to mutual verbal abuse, but the prisoner interfered, and with a brick inflicted a severe wound on the head of the complainant, who had to be taken to the hospital. She appeared in court very pale, and with her head bandaged. Mr. Paget commented in severe terms on the brutality of the prisoner, and sr:ate:iced her to two months' imprison ment with hard labour. HALF SEAS OVER.—THE PUBLICAN AND THE SAILOR. —Jacob Burnham, a young sun-dried and weatherbeaten sailor, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with as saulting Mr. Edward Marklow, the landlord of the Lebeck's Head, at 20 minutes past 12 o'clock last night, while in a s ate of intoxication, and demanded some grog. Mr. Mark low refused to supply him with any, and requested him to leave, as the house was about to be closed. The prisoner objected, and said he would not leave without his grog. He made a great disturbance, and it was found necessary to eject him by force. Mr. Marklow had no sooner done so than the prisoner seized him by the throat, and said he would. choke him. He compressed his throat till he was black in tha face, and then tripped him up on the pave ment. Mr. Marklow fell heavily, and was suffering from the fall. The prisoner on being asked what ho had to say in d fence expressed his sorrow for what he had done, and said he was half seas over last night. Mr. Paget —You have hurt this man, who very properly refused to servo you. The prisoner —Yes, sir; I was three sheets in the wind. I have only just come home in the Bride from the East Indies. Mr. Paget fined the prisoner 405., and in default 14 days' imprisonment. He paid the fine. MARKETS.---This Day. COVENT GARDEN. With both fruit and vegetables the market is well sup plied.

A horse recently jumped over the rail at a race course and seriously hurt a young man. While he was lying on the grass, another young man uttered a piercing cry, and exclaimed, "My brother, my poor brother !" He flung himself ou the prostrate form, from which he was at length kindly and gently raised, while the injured man was taken away to receive medical care, It afterwards transpired that the affectionate creature who flung him self on the body of his brother had done so to steal his gold watch and chain, and portmonnaie. A Parisian has conceived the notion of opening an exhibition, at ten centimes a head, to show a million of money spread out in gold pieces. He thinks ho will have a rush of visitors, as the curiosity to know what a million is like is universal. Last year 365,000,000 eggs were imported from the Continent and from Ireland into Great Britain. During the current year the number imported has boen daily on the increase. In May last it exceeded 56,000,000. Esti mating the value of imported eggs at 6s. per 120, those im ported in 1865 must have sold for upwards of three millions sterling. _ The Home Journal states that there are, on the average, four or five thousand prosperous Americans, temporarily or permanently residing in England. 1501 f 'THE SUN, LO WON, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 7, 1866. ---This Day. the bill was opposed, and argued that he would have been unworthy of his position bad he not exhi bited that indignation. The groans and yells of the Opposition surpassed anything he had ever heard at out-door demonstrations, and an American gen tleman whom he introduced into the house on one occasion declared that he had never witnessed such a scene across the Atlantic. Members came in at about ten o'clock, having, he presumed, been dining —(laughter)—and the noise and interruptions which took place when anything was said by Mr. Gladstone or others in defence of the working classes were of so disgraceful a character that he hoped for the credit of the house they would never recur. The Marquis of Hartington was howled at as soon as he rose to reply to a violent speech from the other side, and he himself, though he seldom troubled the house on questions not connected with his own department, spoke under the greatest diffi cultiehe ever experienced, storms of howls and shouts being kept up throughout. Mr. Mill, though a man of world-wide reputation, would have been similarly treated, had not the leaders of the party, thinking that it would be too great a scandal, given the order that he was to be allowed to speak with out interruption, but being forbidden to use their voices, and being incapable of appreciating h;s arguments, they left the House during his address. After urging that Lord Dunkellin's amendment was fatal to the bill, Mr. Layard stated that though many men of high authority were in favour of a dissolution, the Government refrained from taking that course, believing that it would have caused the country great inconvenience, and might have re tarded the cause of Reform. Noticing the criticisms passed on popular demonstrations, the hon. gentle man remarked that a more orderly gathering than one which he recently beheld he never witnessed, it being composed mainly of working men. No doubt a few roughs and idle boys were present, but he was very sorry to say there was some of these in the House of. Commons. (Cheers.) He concluded by criticising the opinion on foreign affairs held by the. Conservative leaders, and by urging the working classes to show their earnest determination to obtain a measure of Reform. Both hon. members were much applauded, and resolutions were afterwards adopted, expressing ap proval of the late bill and gratitude to Earl Russell and Mr. Gladstone for their efforts to secure the franchise for the working classes. ENE TIA. THE CE , According to the announcement of the Moniteur, the Emperor of Austria cedes Venetia to France on the basis of " the idea expressed in the Emperor Napoleon's letter of the 11th June." Subjoined is the communication referred to : " Palace of the Tuileries, June 11. " M. le Ministre—At the moment when the hopes of peace which the meeting of the Conference made us conceive seem to be vanishing, it is essential to explain in a circular to the diplomatic agents abroad the ideas which my Government contemplated pre senting in the Councils of Europe, and the conduct it means to follow in the presence of the events which are preparing. This communication will place our policy in its true light. " Had the Conference taken place, your lan guage, as you are aware, would have been explicit. You were to deelare.in my name that I repudiated all idea of territorial aggrandisement, so long as the equilibrium of Europe was not disturbed. In effect, we could not think of an extension of our frontiers except in case of the map of Europe being remodelled for the exclusive benefit of a great Power, and of the conterminous provinces demanding by votes freely expressed their annexa tion to France. " Outside these circumstances, I think it more worthy of our country to prefer to the acquisition of territory the precious advantage of living on good terms with our neighbours by respecting their independence and their nationality. " Animated by these sentiments, and having only in view the preservation of peace, I appe4led to England and to Russia to address at the same time words of conciliation to the parties interested. " The accord established between the neutral Powers will of itself be a pledge of security for Europe. They showed their impartiality in re solving to limit the discusssion of the Conference to the pending questions. In order to resolve them, I think it was necessary to address ourselves to them frankly, to disengage them from the diplo matic veil which covered them, and to take into se rious consideration the legitimate wishes of sove reigns and of nations. " The conflict which has arisen has three causes : The geographical situation of Prussia imperfectly limited ; the wish of Germany demanding a politi cal reconstitution more conformable to its general wants; and the necessity of Italy to secure her National independence. " The neutral Powers could not interpose in the internal affairs of foreign countries. Nevertheless, the Courts that participated in the constitutional acts of the Germanic Confederation had the right to examine whether the changes demanded were not of a kind to endanger the order established in Europe. We should have desired, in what con cerns ourselves, for the seeondary States of the Confederation a closer union, a stronger organisa tion, a more important position ; for Prussia, more homogeneousness, in the north ; for Austria, the maintenance of her position in Germany. " We should have desired, morever, that, for an equitable compensation, Austria should cede Venetia to Italy, for if, in concert with Prussia, and with out regard to the treaty of 1852, she made war in Denmark on behalf of German nati ona li ty, i t seemed to me just that she should recognis e th e same prin cipleth e pfeonr Italy Peninsula. sua by completing th e i ndependence of " Such are the ideas which, for the repose of Europe, we should have tried to carry out. To-day there is reason to fear that they can be decided only by arms. In such an emergency what is the attitude it becomes France to assume? " Ought we to manifest our displeasure because Germany finds the treaties of 1815 insufficient to satisfy her national tendencies, and preserve her tranquillity ? In the war which is about to break out we have but two interests the maintenance of the European equilibrium, and the maintenance of that which we have contributed to constitute in Italy. " But to save these two interests does not the moral force of France suffice? In order that her voice shall be listened to, will she be obliged to draw the sword? Ido not think so. " If, in spite of our efforts, the hopes of peace are not realised, we are nevertheless reassured by the declarations of the Courts engaged in the conflict that, whatever be the results of the war, none of the questions which touch us shall be resolved without the assent of France. " Let us then continue in a vigilant neutrality ; and strong in our disinterestedness, animated by a sincere desire to see the nations of Europe forget their quarrels, and unite in the cause of civilisation, liberty, and progress, let us still remain confident in the right and calm in our force. Whereupon, M. lc Ministre, I pray God to keep you in His holy guard. " NAPOLEON." Reform Meeting in Southwark. A meeting was held last night at the Bridge house Hotel, for the purpose of hearing addresses from Mr. Locke, M.P., and Jr. Layard, M.P., on Reform. The room was crowded, and the hon. members were warmly cheered on making their ap pearance. Mr. A. Pocock presided, and first called upon— Mr. LOCKE, who expressed his disappointment at the fate of the late Reform Bill, and condemned as insidious and unmanly the vexatious and harass ing motions which at length necessitated the aban donment of the measure. He regretted also the re tirement of Lord Clarendon and of his excellent colleague Mr. Layard from the Foreign-office in the present critical state of Europe. He did not see how the Tories could be ousted from their places till next session, unless they signally committed themselves, for possession was nine points of the law ; but men who had arrived at their time of life were not likely to have improved since their former tenure of office, and he believed they would be turned out as soon as they were obliged to bring in measures of any importance. After eulogising th e late Government f or their Irish policy, and espe cially for their Land Tenure Bill, Mr. Locke con cluded by advising Reformers to insist henceforth on household suffrage, and thus to avoid all squab bling about rating and rental and niceties of that description. Mr. LAYARD, after premising , that during the lifetime of Lord Palmerston a Reform Bill could not, for various reasons into which it was mine cessary to enter, be brought forward with any pros pect of success, contended that Lord Russell would confidence of the Liberal g partyha vebeen d he unworthy net, en ofa assuming the headship of the Government, attempted a settlement of the ques tion. He commended the introduction by the late Premier of the Radical element i n t o th e Adminis m office as unfair wtarnhadtieiohnu,hne-aEhnnadgdlidsh. The attacks o n th a t dis tinguished been o unced the " p ersecu ti on " b y driven fro statesman had been mo s t p ers i s t en t an d veryday he t oo k o ff ice a great his whole career , an d leadingmendeavoured journal fo to r misrepresented the d to the contempt o f th e country, the only reason being th a t h e h a d intro duced friends of the working clas ses i n t o hi s Go vernment and was about to bring f orwar d a mea ol him up mea sure of Reform. After animadverting on th e Adul -1 ami tto figure pr om i nently in the annals of political adism, he remar k ed that many of a s likely ren e g them had recently sneaked out of the " cave," and had stated that they would not have voted as they had done had they thought the Government would have gone out. The Conservatives were treating Mr. Gladstone as they treated Canning, Sir R. against g nm classes, int h and the feeling Peel, and every other great man wh o h a d es p ouse d t t h h a e t le ca p u r s e e va o i ft d he w a gst e House of Com mons could hardly be conceived. A gentleman of some distinction on the Conservative side had re marked to him, 4i You don't know how we hate Gladstone. We feel ready to cross over the floor of the house and tear him to pieces." (A person in the meeting here cried, " Name," b u t was o bli ge d by shouts of disapprobation to desist.) While cau tioning his auditors not to believe the exaggerated statements of a hostile press as to Mr. Gladstone's want of temper and pettishness, Mr. Layard admit ted that the right hon. gentleman had shown anger and indignation at the uu-English manner in which The New Ministry. (From the Times) The appearance of the House of Commons last evening indicated that the long Ministerial inter regnum had at length been brought to a close. For the first time for seven years, the Liberal leaders took their seats on the Opposition bench, relieved at once from the honours and responsibilities of office. The Treasury bench was not yet occupied by the new Ministers, for, according to constitutional custom, those who were members of the House of Commons vacated their seats upon accepting yesterday the seals of office. New writs were consequently moved for the vacant seats, and 21 gentlemen will have opportunities of receiving the congratulations or the remonstrances of their constituents, and in turn of offering some explanation of their intentions and hopes. The new Government can as yet have had little time to mature their policy, but the public will not fail to look with interest to the declarations they may make. The whole administration of the coun try has suddenly passed to new hands, and, if no thing more, it is a convenient custom which gives us an opportunity of hearing some popular state ments from those to whom our interests, at such a critical moment, have been so unexpectedly intrusted. The business of the country has been so long inter rupted that we must hope there will be as little op position as possible to re-election of the new officers of State. The principal Ministers will, of course, be returned without opposition, and we may expect in the House of Lords on Monday a full Ministerial statement by Lord Derby in explanation of the new arrangements. As the number of new writs would of itself indicate, the appointments of the new Government are now all but complete. Lord Devon, who declined the responsible duties of the Lord Lieutenancy, has ac cepted a less onerous post in the Chancellorship of the D uchy of Lancaster. The post of Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs has been finally assigned to Mr. Edward Egerton, and Lord Belmore will be Under- Secretary for the Home Department. The other ap pointments which have been made since we last wrote are mostly to offices in the Household, and are of more interest and importance to the gentlemen who have accepted them than to the public in general. From the list of writs it will be seen that Lord Claud Hamilton will be Vice-Chamberlain, Lord Royston will be Comptroller, and Lord Burghley Treasurer. The commands of the Yeomen of the Guard and the Gentlemen Pensioners are respec tively accepted by Lord Tankerville and Lord Cadogan. The list of names in the new Adminis- _ .• tration, as enumerated in the writs, presents a very respectable appearance, and the various offices have, upon the whole, been appropriately distributed. Lord John Manners, it will be seen, finds a post more suited to his capacity as First Commissioner of Works. The office is not one which requires any great political qualities, but there is ample room for energy and good taste in the general superintend ence of the public works of the metropolis. Mr. Cowper's administration has been most successful, and the public owe him a large debt of gratitude for the immense improvements he has introduced into the Parks. There is one appointment among those finally announced last night which we cannot but regret.. Mr. Corry, who in former Conserva tive Administrations has been either Lord of the Admiralty or Secretary to the Admiralty, has now taken the post of Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education. He is thoroughly well acquainted with the work of the Admiralty, and his services there would be valuable. He may possibly be not less competent, as far as his personal quali fications go, for his new post, but neither he nor the Lord President, the Duke of Buckingham, has any experience whatever in matters of education. The office, in these days, is a somewhat delicate one, and it is to be regretted, not only that Mr. Corry's energies should be dissipated in becoming acquainted with a totally new subject, but that a post of growing importance should be inadequately. filled. Sir John Pakington, who returns to his old post at the Admiralty, will have the assistance of Sir John Hay and Admiral Seymour. In one respect, at least, the House of Commons will gain by the change of Ministry. It was an unfortunate defect in the late Government that so few of the heads of departiuentg had seats in the Lower House. The new Ministry, on the contrary, will be represented there with unusual complete _ ness. From the writs moved last night it will be seen that, besides the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the First Lord of the Admiralty, no less than four of the principal Secretaries of State will sit in the House of Commons. Mr. Walpole for the Home Department, Lord Stanley for Foreign Affairs, General Peel as Secretary for War, and Lord Cranborne for India, will bring four of the most important Departments of State into imme diate contact with the more popular branch of the Legislature. Such an arrangement is not only satisfactory in itself, but will afford sonic additional guarantee that the Liberal policy which commends itself to the nation will not be disregarded by the Government. Lord Carnarvon, in fact, as Secre tary for the Colonies, is the only leading Minister, with the exception of Lord Derby himself, who will sit in the House of Lords. On Monday next the new Administration will be fairly started. They deserve to receive, at least in the first instance, every • consideration. Few Governments have succeeded to a more arduous position, or have entered upon office at a more critical time. PLENTY.—Menhaden never were so plenty as now, and the fish-works are over-running with stock. The New Bedford Standard says : —" The fishermen are confi dent that 20,000 barrels could have been taken last week off Dartmouth and this harbour if the manufacturers of fish oil and guano at Woods' Hole had not checked them. Hundreds of barrels have been taken within a few days in our harbour, above Palmer's Island. A shoal of men haden was driven ashore last week near to Potomska farm, and GOO barrels of them were secured by Richard Lapham and others." IMPERIAL PARLIAIvrENT HOUSE OF LORDS.--LAST EVENING.

The SPEAKER took the chair at five o'clock. The house presented rather a singular appearance froi., the circumstance of the change of sides of the different parties. The Government side of the house was occupied by the Conservatives, and the Liberals sat on the left band sido of the chair. Sir R. Palmer, the late Attor ney-General entered the house before prayers, and took his seat on the front Opposition bench. The Speaker having taken the chair, Mr. Gladstone shortly afterwards entered the house, and on his taking Lis seat, until this evening occu pied by Mr. Disraeli, he was received with loud cheers. Mr. Brand next entered, and ho was received with cheers and laughter. The only persons representing the Govern ment were Mr. 'Whiteside and Mr. Adderley. THE NEW G OVERNMENT—ISSUING THE WRITS.

Potter in the chair, to receive the report of the deputations appointed to wait Guildhall -yard or in front of the Royal Exchange.in Re form.lua s po t n theeeTh e ti ncorporation chairman decided I n deference to the expressed objection t o sra ei call sdp the intention of holdingof the Lord M a yor, the meeting in the la tt e r place had been abandoned. The Secretary then reported the proceedings of the d epu t at i on. The L or d Mayor then de c li ne d to give a definite answer, being uncertain how far his pow of this doubt the deputationpowers extended. I n c o nsequence on Thursday waited u on the ha Court of Co mmon Council, and vn P g seen the chair man of th e Ci ty Lands C • c Committee, under whose con trol the arrangements connected with the Guildhall are placed, that gentleman • informed the deputation there was no doubt among the law officers of the Corpora tion as to the power of the Lot d Mayor to grant the use of the Guildhall for any purpose ho thought proper, but that on all debateable questions it was usual to support the re quest by a requisition signed by some 40 or 50 liverymen, thus relieving the Lord Mayor of much responsibility. This course had been adopted, a'requisition had been prepared and signed by some of the most influential men in the city, headeded by Mr. S. Morley, and would be presented on Saturday (this day) to the Lord Mayor, with, it was ex pected, a successful result. One thing was quite certain, a working men's meeting would take place in the city in a few days, either inside or outside the Guildhall. Mr. Glasier moved, and Mr. Troup seconded the adoption of the report, and the resolution was carried. A discussion ensued as to whether the open-air meeting should be called at once, but it was eventually decided by a large majority to wait the reply of the Lord Mayor before taking further action in that respect. After some further business the meeting ad journed. NOT A FLATTERING LIKENESS.-TWO friends meeting, one remarked, "I have just met a man who told me I looked exactly like you.' , " Tell me who it was, that I. may knock him down, '? replied his friend. -" Don't trouble yourself," said be, "I did that myself at once."
