1110NEY MARKET A N COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. A more favourable feeling has been noticed to-day in discount circles, and although the rates for ac commodation have not shown any material altera tion, the belief seems to be very general that money will soon become cheaper. The supplies of bankers and brokers exhibit a slight augmentation, and as the demand has not been very active, the quo tations asked for the negotiation of the best three months paper have ranged from 41 to 5 per cent. Notice has been given that a first dividend of 2s. in the pound under the estate of Messrs. Early and 'Snlith will be paid at the office of Messrs. Coleman, Turquand, Youngs, and Co., on the 23d and 30th inst. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days there has not been much animation. Sugars have been dealt in to a moderate extent at about previous rates. Superior descrip tithin of coffee 'have realised full prices, while in 4 ce, cocoa, fruit, and spices there has been to material alteration to report in values. The tallow Market has continued very dull, and quotations for bot hpresent and forward delivery have ruled in buyer's favour. p r ,The Stock E xc h ange C omm ittee have appoi n ted T hursday, M arc h 2, for a special settlement in the cert ificates of debenture of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway. The committee have also re !nlved " that the statements in the prospectus being In their opinion both ambiguous and unsatisfactory, a quotation be refused." It has been announced that Mr. Thos. Hattersley, e uairman of the Estates Bank, has been appointed Chairman of the General Provident Assurance Com -13411Y, in the room of Lord Henry Gordon, resigned. The share-list of Cleaver's Patent Portland Sat urday and Suffolk Brick Company will close on ' at urday next for London, and on the following T uesday for the country. The share-list of the Scottish Assam Tea Com pany is announced to be closed on Wednesday, March 1. Two O'CLOCK. At Pari s , thi s morn i ng, accor di n g to Reuter's tel the 3 per Cent.

ROBBING A COLUMBINE.—WiIIiam Harris, who said he was a carpenter, and Thomas Cooper, were charged with stealing from a cab in the 6treet a Paisley shawl and a silk dress, valued at £2O, the property of Miss Annie Collison, the actress and danseuse. 11 , 2 87, 6 7 104 3 i 6 1 1211 201 1 Police-Sergeant Ackrill, 15 F, said about nine o'clock on Saturday evening, the 4th Feb., I was on duty in Long acre, in company with another officer, when we saw the two prisoners and two other men going towards St. Mar tin's-lane. At the corner of Mercer-street the prisoner Harris went into the shop cf Mr. Burgess, a pawnbroker, and took a parcel from under his coat. It contained a valuable Paisley shawl. The pawnbroker's foreman asked him whose it was, and he said it belonged to his mother, Mrs. Harris—(a laugh)—and that she lived in New-street, Covent-garden, having lately taken lodgings there, her former place of residence being Lambeth. The foreman seeing me standing behind Harris handed me the parcel. I then asked Harris where he got it from, and he replied that a man gave it him to pawn. I took him to the station house, where I was informed by the Inspector on duty that a lady had just called to make known that she had just lost a parcel containing a valuable shawl and dress from a cab. I then left the prisoner in custody, and went in search of the other men. Knowing their haunts, I went to a public house in Princes-street, Leicester-square. I saw Cooper fumbling about his pockets. The men with whom he was drinking made . a bolt, but I captured Cooper and pushed him under a gateway, where I found in his pockets a pair of cuffs and a piece of lace (produced), and in another pocket the pawn broker's duplicate. 'The latter referred to a dress pledged in Princes-street, Leicester-square, for £1 10s. I asked him whose dress it was, and he said "it was his old woman's." I then took 'rim to the station-house. 61 I The dress was produced by the pawnbroker. 119} 19 18} 13S1 i i 7/ 1021 31 59 1 i 6); 6) 85f, 7, a 6 Miss Annie Collison identified the shawl and dress as her property. The cuffs and lace had been attached tothe dress. She missed the shawl and dress from a cab which she had left waiting for her at the corner of Southampton street and Maiden-lane, where she had called to make some purchases at a chemist's shop there. The shawl was worth £l5, and the dress more than £5. The prisoners were fully committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A DILAPIDATED HOUSE.—Joseph Nixon, the owner of the house, 5, lioldbrook-court, Tottenham-court-road, appeared before Mr. Tyrwhitt to answer the complaint of Mr. T. Curtis, sanitary inspector of St. Pancras, of having the house in such a state as to be unfit for human habita- Mr. D. Cooper, solicitor to the parish of St. Pancras, appeared in support of the summons. Mr. Curtis gave evidence to the effect that the drains in the house were all choked up with dirt, the rooms were in a filthy state, the flooring of the house broken away, seve ral of the rooms without windows, and the house altogether in such a dilapidated state as to be unfit for human habita- Dr. Hillier, the medical officer of the parish, corroborated Mr. Curtis, and said the house was unfit for human habita- The defendant said had not received any rent for months. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the defendant how he could expect ,o get any. The defendant said all he got when he went to the house was black eyes and ill-usage. In answer to Mr. Cooper, the defendant said he would rather the parish would carry out what was required titan do it himself. The magistrate granted an order for the necessary repairs ,o be done and the removal of the nuisance. • DISPUTED FIRE REWARD.—Mrs. Williams, of 5, Ryder street, was summoned by James Jervis, engine keeper of St, James's, for refusing to pay a fire reward. It appears that a chimney was on fire at Mrs. Williams's house, and the engine keepers went there with their engines, the fire on their arrival being seen coming from the chimney. Mrs. Williams refused to admit the firemen, and they were therefore obliged to go through the next house and climb over a roof to get at the chimney. On the firemen subsequently getting into Mrs. Williams's, she abused them in a shameful manner, calling them scoundrels, thieves, &c. Mr. Tyrwhitt, after hearing Mrs. Williams and her cook, said he never heard a clearer case, and it was too bad to refuse the firemen, who often risked their lives, admission, and then to abuse them in such a scandalous manner. Ile should order the reward with full costs. THAMES. HIGHWAY. ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE. Daniel Ryan, aged 20, was charged with committing a highway robbery. The prosecutor, Edward Ingram, a seaman, whose face was mutilattd, stated that last Saturday he had been drink ing a little, and several persons tried to get hold of his money. Between 12 and 2in the night time he was in the York-road, Ratcliff, and near the Stepney railway station, and he was attacked by two men first, and had the advan tage of them. Then he was beaten and robbed by two more men, who robbed him of all his money. They were not content with robbing him, but knocked him about. He lost £2 165., which was all the money he had about him. William Carter, a police constable, 78 K, stated that he heard cries of murder and police in Railway-place, along side the North London Railway, Rnd saw two men run ning away. The prisoner was oiO of them. Some one called out, "Stop that man," but he could not stop either of them. He afterwards saw the prosecutor, who was covered with blood and mud. He took the prisoner into custody yesterday, and ho said, " Who has 'rounded ' upon me ?" This being the whole of the evidence, and the prosecutor not being able to identify the prisoner, he was discharged. DREADFUL ACCIDENT IN A STATION-HOUSE. —Morris Abrahams, a Jew, aged 43, and described as a hawker, was charged with being drunk and disorderly in the King David-lane station-house, Shadwell. Police-sergeant Stimpson, 21 K, stated that a woman, named Mina Cohen, charged a man, named Levie Levy, with an assault yesterday evening, and the prisoner who was tipsy came into the station-house with the parties, and said he could give evidence, but finding he know nothing of the affair ho was ordered to withdraw. Tho prisoner was abusive, noisy, and violent, and wasejected from the station-house. He came in a second time, and made great confusion which prevented him carrying on the business. The prisoner was charged with being drunk and disorderly and put into the cell. As the reserve constable was about closing the door, which shut with a spring, the prisoner made a rush, and as the door closed the prisoner's fingers wore caught in it close to one of the hinges, and they were injured. The fore-finger of the left hand was nearly severed. He procured a cab and sent the prisoner to the London Hospital directly. James Noakes, police constable, was closing the cell door, the prisoner was trying to keep it open, and his fingers caught between the edge of the door and door-post. The door closed with a spring, and he had to obtain the key before he could open it. The prisoner said his fingers were in the door 20 minutes. He was a ruined man and has lost one finger. Stimpson—lt was not in the door two minutes. I am very sorry this has taken place. Mr. Partridge—l am satisfied the occurrence is purely accidental. The prisoner is discharged. MARKETS,—(This day).

TAT TERSALL'S-MONDAY. • The frost to-day was the means of keeping many racing men in town who would otherwise have been at Datchet or en route to Lincoln. The consequence was that the Subscription-room was well attended, although, however, the amount of actual business done was by no means im portant. There was a bit of a rush to back Emblematic at the Victoria Club in the early part of the day for the Liverpool Steeplechase, 9 to 1 having been taken kindly, and she was in continued request at Hyde Park-corner, where as little as 8 to 1 was noted among the early arrivals —but as the numbers increased she declined several points, and although 10 to 1 was offered until there was hardly one left to respond, 12 to 1 would have been the lowest taking price. This retrogression, added to the fact of her noble owner being present (the first time this year) did not inspire her early backers with any overweening confidence in their chance of success. Not so with Liddington for the T pro Thousand, the furore about whom at " the Club" in the morning had not only not abated, but had even in creased, inasmuch as that at 9 to 2 he was supported freely to money. The only feature of the Chester Cup betting was the advance of Ackworth to 100 to 7 (taken). Lidding ton was steady at his old quotation of 11 to 2 for the Derby.

THE SEQUEL OF A PRIZE FIGHT IN AMERICA. — The Philadelphia Press of the 3d has a long account of a prize fight which had just taken place there in the presence of some 1,200 people. Just as it was over, "an alarm was given that the military were at hand, and every one was on the scamper. Scattering shots were soon heard and the whistling of the deadly leaden missiles were soon distinctly audible. Numbers made their escape, but some 250 were kept within the enclosure by the bayonets of the United States regulars, who seemed to relish the idea of shooting a few of their prisoners. All were ordered to fall into line, and the prisoners were marched to the Claymont station. The prisoners took every opportunity of escaping, and by the time the train arrived at Wilmington there were not more than 60, and some of those afterwards escaped. The party were marched through the streets like a drove of sheep, and placed under guard in an empty building of the most filthy description. After two hours' detention the party was marched to the City Hall, where they were kept standing for nearly an hour to the delight of the gaping citizens. All were ultimately turned over to the mayor, who, on Friday, discharged the whole lot, with the excep tion of the unfortunate loser, Ward, who was bound over to answer." SUN OFFICE, 7 O'CLOCK.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. COUNTY COURTS AMENDMENT BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR brought in bill to confer equity jurisdiction upon the County Courts in England and Wales. Under the present circumstances a compara tively poor man might die possessed of £l2O, or even £l5O, and he might leave behind him a widow and children. Should disputes arise as to the disposition of property the parties will be unable to get a proper settlement because of the expensive nature of the procedure. Among other cases were those consequent upon small mortgages. During last session he had introduced a mea sure respecting small debts, especially referring to the tally system. It met with great opposition, and ho abandoned it. Returns had been made, showing that the number of persons actually imprisoned during the year 1863 on County Court process was 8,583 ; in 1862 they were the large number of 9,373 ; but, in 1864, in conse quence of new rules introduced, the number was only 6,428, being more than 2,100 less than the number impri soned in 1862. He would on a future day introduce a bill forbidding any citizen to be brought into the County Court to recover sums for ale or beer. The noble and learned lord then moved that the bifl be read a first time. The motion was agreed to. Their Lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—THIS EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Mr. WILLIAMS took the oaths and his seat on his election for the borough of Truro. - PRIVATE BUSINESS The Standing Orders were declared to have been com plied with in the case of several private bills. The following bills were read a second time :—Barn staple Roads, Glossop Water, North Eastern and Cleveland Railways ; North Eastern •Railway (Pelew and other Branches) ; Preston and Wyre Railway, Harbour, and Dock; St. Philip and Jacob's (Bristol) ; Southampton,tShir ley, and Woolston Gas ; Southport Improvement ; Weald of Kent Railway ; West Hartlepool Harbour and Railway and Cleveland and North Eastern Railways ; West London Docks and Warehouses ;and Wragby Roads. CHELTENHAM AND GLOUCESTERSHIRE RAIL- WAY BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Lord R. MONTAGU said that this was a very im portant bill, for it proposed to give powers to draw no less than a million gallons of water daily from the Thames. The inhabitants of Cheltenham no doubt • had to complain of the supply of water from the Severn, but at the same time he did not think any case had been made for the diversion of so large a body of water from the Thames, and therefore diminishing the scouring power of the river, which was so essential to the health and necessities of the metropolis. He moved that the bill should be read a se cond time that day six months. Mr. NEATE seconded the amendment. Mr. DODSON said there could be no doubt that this bill was very important. It proposed to take away a large amount of water from the Thames, but this was to be dis tributed over a large area of land, and meet the wants of a very large population. The facts upon which the opponents of this bill based objection were denied by the promoters, who asserted that the amount of water abstracted from the Thames would be infinitisemal. Under these circumstances he thought the proper course would be to allow the bill to go to a committee, whore its merits would be fully dis cussed. . . . . Mr. HUTT said that the subject involved in this motion had been overlooked by the Legislature, and the real ques tion at issue was, whether a commercial company should be allowed to abstract any quantity of water from the Thames. He considered it would be a great mistake if such powers were conceded. He thought, however, that the bill should be allowed to go to a committee. (A laugh.) Sir G. BOWYER, as one of the members of the defunct commission of the Thames, quite agreed with the hon• member the Vice-President of the Board of Trade. But, notwithstanding, the hon. member was persuaded by what had fallen from the hon. member (Mr. Dodson) to consent to its being referred to a committee ; but he thought if he had voted in conformity with the first part of his observa tion, instead of the latter, he would have been more con sistent. (Hear, hear.) Mr. POWELL supported the motion for the second reading of the bill, on the ground that the population of Cheltenham, which amounted to between forty and fifty thousand was left without an adequate supply of water ; and he denied that the Thames would be deprived of any amount of water that would be an inconvenience to the in habitants who derived their suppiy from that source. Mr. HENLEY opposed the bill. The house then divided, and the numbers were— •• For the motion •.• ••• •• Against ... ••• 414 Majority ... Tho motion was accordingly negatived. NEW CROSS ROADS BILL. 88 118 -30 Mr. ANGERSTEIN moved the second reading of this bill. An amendment was moved to the effect that the bill should be read alseeond time that day six months, by Mr. LOCKE, which was agreed to without a division. THE PARLIAMENTARY BAR. Mr. D. GRIFFITH asked the President of the Board of Trade, whether the members of the Parliamentary bar had come to any agreement, that the practice before Parlia mentary committees should be open to the bar in general on the same terms in regard to fees as prevailed in the ordinary courts of law and equity. M. M. GIBSON said that, from the inquiry which had been made, it appeared that members of the Parliamentary bar practising had a right to be governed by the same practice that prevailed in reference to other members of the bar, and were entitled to receive the remuneration to which they considered themselves entitled for their professional services. THE SPACE BETWEEN BRIDGE-STREET, WEST MINSTER, AND PALACE-YARD. Sir J. SHELLEY asked whether any decisien had been come to, and, if so, in what way it was proposed to deal with the vacant ground between Bridge-street and New Palace-yard ? Mr. COWPER said that he considered it would be a great injury to the public if the space in question were filled up, as it would interfere with the full view of Parlia ment and Westminster Abbey. (Hear.) He had a plan which would be submitted to the house for dealing with the space in question and other parts of Westminster with a view to making arrangements suitable to the public buildings in the neighbourhood. . CASUALTIES ON THE COAST. Mr. KEKEWICII asked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention had been called to the large number of wrecks which had lately occurred on the north west coast of Devon and Cornwall ; and whether it was the intention of the Government to establish a harbour of refuge on that coast for the protection of the shipping ? Mr. M. GIBSON said that there had been no doubt a great many casualties on the case in question, but he was not avow that the present was a very exceptional year in the amount of disasters. It was not intended by Govern ment to erect any harbours of refuge on that part of the coast. LIFE ANNUITY AND LIFE ASSURANCE BILL. Mr. HODGKINSON asked under what circumstances and why the order made on the 13th of February for print ing the tables which were on 10th February laid upon the table of the house, with reference to the Government Life Annuity and Life Assurance Bill of last session, was sub sequently discharged ; and whether, notwithstanding the discharge of such order, it was intended that such tables should be acted upon at the expiration of thirty days from 10th February, pursuant to the Gth section of the act, &c. ? The CHANCELLOR o f t h e EXCHEQUER sa id that the order was discharged because the tables were prepared and would be shortly laid on the table, but they would not take effect for 30 days after their introduction. DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE AND ART. Mr. POTTER asked whether the report of the Depart mont of Science and Art for the year 1864 would be issued previous to the stimates for the Schools of Art and tho South Kensington Museum being moved for ? Mr. DODSON said that the report in question included the general report on the subject, and could not be laid on the table before Easter. ROYAL SOVEREIGN, PRINCE CONSORT, AND ROYAL ALFRED. Sir J. ELPHINSTONE asked the Secretary to the Admiralty if ho would lay upon the table of the house a list of the alterations and repairs executed on the Royal Sovereign, Prince Consort, and Royal Alfred, from the Ist of September, 1864, till this time, and the cost of the same. Lord C. PAGET—A report as regarded the alterations made in the Prince Consort and Prince Alfred was ready, but the report relative to the Roysl Sovereign was not propared. OPEN SPACES (METROPOLIS). Mr. DOULTON moved for a select committee to inquire into the best means of preserving for the public use the forests, commons, and open spaces in and around the metropolis. Ho contended that the proposed enclosure of Wimbledon Common would be an infringement on the rights of the public, by depriving it of its picturesque and attractive character, without any public benefit resulting. Alderman ROSE seconded the motion. Viscount BURY defended the conduct .of Earl Spencer in regard to Wimbledon-common, who, he asrerted, had a legal right to make the alterations he proposed, but who preferred having the subject submitted to a committee of the house. Mr. LOCKE advocated the principle of the public at large contributing to the ornamentation of the metropolis and the establishment of parks, for those who resided in the country enjoyed tho advantages of them when they came to London. Colonel NORTH objected to the conduct of Lord Spencer. Mr. JACKSON supported the other side. Mr. COWPER considered that Lord Spencer was judi cious in allowing the subject to go to a committee, but he differed entirely from the views of the hon. member for Southwark (Mr. Locke).

We have received by the French mail steamer Guienne advices and files of Ayres to the 12th of January. paTlPelers from Buenos standard,atits fortnightly "Review for weinformed our Europe,"home says In our last review readers of the siege of Paysandu by the revolu tionary leader Flores, and the blockade of that port by the Brazilian squadron. Sincethenu,phaonwdever, the Brazilian army, 8,000 strong, came in vested the place. Defended by a valiant soldier and patriot, named Leandro Gomez, Paysandu re sisted every open attack, but the rebels and in vaders ultimately succeeded in taking the place by one of those questionable stratagems so unknown in European, , yet frequent in South American, war_ fare. Paysandu was formerly a very thriving to wn in the River Uruguay ; it is now, however, little better than a heap of ruins, and in the possession of the Brazilians. Flores and his allies are in full march on Montevideo, where a determined resist ance is talked of ; the blockade and siege will take place about the 15th of January ; how long it will I last it is difficult to say, but from the present appear ance of things there is strong reason to believe that the place will hold out for some months. It is with the greatest repugnance that we commence our re view for the new year with these sad revolutionary details, but we cannot deceive our readers abroad. The state of the River Plate is critical in the ex treme. drawing tTheto a r e e v l o n l s u e t , i ohnn but in Paraguay the Banda has Oriental taken th is e field, and before Montevideo surrenders it is more than probable that other South American States will follow the warlike example. The Argentine Republic is, however, in no way connected with these wars, and it is right to call the attention of our home readers to this fact, as they generally c 0..- found Montevideo with Buenos Ayres and Para guay with Brazil, when there is no' political con nexion whatever existing. The peace of this coun try is menaced, no doubt, by the disturbances which surround us, but we all have the greatest confidence in the non-intervention policy of President Mitre. The Brazilian Minister, Senor Parahos, who arrived here last month on a special mission to the Argen tine Government, has failed to induce President Mitre to form any entangling alliance, and is now, in company with the Brazilian Admiral, Baron riz a _ mandare, consulting as to the proposed assault on . Montevideo." More detailed accounts of the fall of Paysandu given in the same paper, supply the following par- ticulars : "It seems the combined forces, about 10,000 strong, attacked the place on Sunday, Jan. 1, and were repulsed by the garrison, which, however, sus tained a serious loss in Col. Piriz, who died sword in hand. On the morning of the 2d Leandro Gomez received a note from Baron Tamandare, the Brazi lian Admiral, whereupon a truce was ordered between the combatants, whose positions were only some 40 yards apart, the heroic little garrison be ing hemmed in almost to the Piaza. While the general was dictating a reply to an officer of his suite he was suddenly accosted by two officers of the enemy, who said very coolly, 'We have taken the place ; come with us.' It seems the besiegers had surprised or overpowered one of the barricades, and hurrying off the gallant chief to a garden two cuadras distant they shot him in the back and prac tised the most revolting mutilations on his corpse. Meantime the aides-de-camp attempted to escape, and two of them got through a hole in a wall, where they met with Captain Fernandez. The latter said, ' Come with me and we are safe ;' but in a moment he and one of the aides were shot down - by one of the rebels, while the other, meeting Captain Carreras, of the rebel army, was spared. There are confused accounts about the num ber killed and wounded on both sides. Some say they amount to 1,000, while others estimate the loss of the besiegers at only 300, and boast they have taken 500 prisoners of the garrison, which would only leave 100 killed of the latter. Any estimate, however, of the number killed after the place was taken cannot yet be formed ; but it is said not a man would have escaped had it not been for the exertions of Admirals Muratori and Tamandare. All the chief officers of the garrison, Azambuya. Braga, and Rana, shared the fate of Gomez, or were killed in the encounter. By one account Piriz was found dead in his bed ; others say he was wounded, and his throat cut, but the latter seems incorrect. It is said that the bodies of all the officers have been found excepting that of Leandro Gomez, which is supposed to have been cut up in pieces, after the mutilations and indignities above mentioned. We had hoped to be spared these horrible revelations, which not only affect the character of a faction, but tends to show the European world that war on the River Plate is still conducted in the barbarous manner which made the names of Quiroga and others infamous, and handed down Quinteros, Canada, Gomez, Las Playas, &c., as scenes of cruelty." A letter from Montevideo, in the Buenos Ayres Standard:— " The present state of Montevideo battles descrip tion.. Revenge is discernible in every countenance. The impotency of the Government, the defenceless state of the city, make the unfortunate natives writhe under the conviction that the fate of their cherished, murdered hero may possibly prove their own. The best streets, the greatest thorough fares, are deserted; the hotels are crowded with estancieros and their families, who have fled from the camp ; the foreign gunboats have anchored nearer to the shore ; the Custom-house is shut up ; decent, respectable young men, with muskets on their shoulders, are seen hurrying in the direction of the cantons. Montevideo is ruined—Montevideo is destroyed. Better far that the fated city was buried in the waves which beat around it ; better that the hand, the genius, the capital of the foreigner, which has built up this once magnificent city out of blood stained bricks, had been never known, than that all the progress, all the advancement, all the improve ments should be annihilated in au evil hour by the ruffian dagger of revolution, or the ruthless sword of the invader. No man in Buenos Ayres can form the remotest idea of the sad picture of desolation which Montevideo presents at this moment, awaiting as it were its doom. The Brazilians are hourly ex pected by water, and Flores by land. Friday being a holyday the churches were crowded with ladies, all dressed in the deepest mourning. There b e some who laugh at these feminine emblems of sor row; but there were prayers, earnest , ferven t ay om bleeding peals to Heaven offered up that day. f h r ty will mer hisusabtands fathers, and sons a rc hurrAlblgombardment hearts.

It remains to be seen whether the foreign • Powers will interfere and compel the combatants to select some other less valuable spot than Monte video to settle their differences. There is a fright ful animosity displayed against Buenos Ayres, which the Montevideans regard as the root and branch of all their misfortunes. House property within the last week has fallen 30, 40, 50, and even 60 per cent. Business is at a complete standstill, and as the tri bunals are closed the recovery of debts is, of course, out of the question. The barracas are full of wood belonging to foreign estancieros; not an arrobe of it can be sold, and the owners, becoming nervous aa to what uses it may possibly be applied to by t h e besieged, are baling and shipping it as fast as they can."
