It will therefore be necessary for you to sign the accom panying Form of Application (in substitution of the one pre viously sent in), which must be returned to me not later than Eleven o'clock on Thursday Morning next, the 23d instant, for London, and Eleven o'clock on Friday Morning next, the 24th instant, for Country Applications.

This powerful Company has been formed for I he pus rose of acquiring, consolidating, and developing the enterprises known as " The China and Japan Steam Navigation Com pany," and "The Labuan Coal Company.' The object of the former company was to supply the much felt need of steam navigation in the China waters, and the latter company was formed to work the coal mines hipLabuan and Borneo, and so supply the whole of the Government and mere intile marine in the East with steam fuel. It has been found, however, that from the fact of those companies having been formed with too small a capital, and on too limited a basis, the requirements both as to supply of vessels and a. so the further development of the coal mines cannot be ade q , ately met. It has therefore been cont.idered advisable to merge the two undertakings, and to make one large Com pany, with sufficient means and influence to develop the valuable business of both the old companies, and in accord ance therewith arrangements have been made for tee imme diate transfer by them of their respective fleet and collieries, together with the goodwill and valuable plant. This Company will therefore immediately acquire the powerful trading steamers Elein, Mona, and Sterling, and steamtugs Titan, Vulcan, and Tienchang, already well known and profitably employed in China; and the sailing-ship Andromeda, a frigate of 2,000 tons burden, admirably adapted for a coaling hulk. In nevelopino ' the shipping operati ons of the Company, in addition to the building of tracing and collier steamer, spe cial attention will be paid to the construction of tug steamers adapted to the ever-increasi g inland traffic of the great China rivers, where the demand for such shipping is constant. It also pro. , osed to establisa a line of steamers between Bombay, Singapore, and Hong Kong. This company will also at once enter on all the rights of the Labuan Coal Company, in Labuan and Borneo, and all their pits, plant, buildings, and stook of coal in the former island, and take over their valuable contracts with her Ma jesty's Government._ _ _ The Labuan coal has been contracted for extensively by the Admiralty, and will actually be the Standard steam Coal for the Navy in the ('hina waters, and elsewhere in the East, as well as extensively used by the leading Steam Shipping Companies, when the arrangements contemplated tor storage, rapid loading at Labuan, and delivery at the different Go v- roment stations in the East shall have b.en completed, the present means of production and delivery being totally inadequate to meet the constantly increasing demand. The Resident Manager of the Labuan Coal Company, in a late report states that the work now completed upon a field of coal to the extent of above a million of tons, and tnat anew pit—the preparations for the sinking of which has been com menced, and the machinery for which is on the spot—will quadruple the quantity available for working. or four millions of tons, the further quantity to be obtainad being practically inexhaustible. Immediate steps, therefore, will be taken to open this pot and others, and to connect the mines with the harbour or Victoria, by a mineral tram railroad of about seven miles in length, In Port Victoria, ships drawing 20 feet of water can lie close along shore, and every facility is offered for their being economically and rapidly loaded by the erection of coal shoots. Coal hulks will also be established in the leading ports of India and China. By these means the Company will be able to meet the demand for steam fuel at highly remune rative rates, in addition to supplying their own fleet with the necessary coal. resent Price of Coal in China : The present price at Hong Kong for coal, equal in quality to that of Labuan, is 455. per ton, and that price is exceptionally low. rofit : —The probable profit of the undertaking will be seen by reference to the following figures. Experience has proved the cost of ra sing toe coal and placing it on board the snip at Labuan to be ss. to 7e. per ton. Taking the price at Ss. 9d. per ton, and adding 3s. 3d. for agency, management, &a, the cost of the coal on bo.rd ship at Labuan would stand the Company Its. per ton. Allowing for the Company's steamers a freight of say 15s. a ton, the cost of the Labuan Coal, when delivered, would be 255. per ton, against 455., the present price of English ccal equal in qu lity ; and it is estimated that when the Company is fairly at work, it could easily raise and dispose of 100,000 tons of coal annually. Supposing coal and freight to coat 255. per ton and sold at 455. per ton, there will be a profit of 20s. rer ton, which on the produce of ICO,OOJ tons only per annum is equal to 00,0 41 Net profit of steamers, say ,000 but calculating that o n ly 50 ,000 tons are for the fir , t £l3o year raised, and that there is only 15s. per ton profit realised Thereon, there is still, with the profit on the steamers, £67,0 i per annum, or <8 per cent. on a paid-op capital of £250,0 0, or, allowing for interest on debentures, above 20 per cent.net for dividend. The allotment of the Shares will be made on the follow ng basis, viz. : _ 7,509 Shares partly fully paid-up, and partly with £1) paid up, will be reserved for allotment to the applicants who a re Shareholders in the existing Companies, of these 6,000 have already been applied for, and the deposits paid to the ()cm ; any's Rankers.... 000 Shares, with £1 paid, will be allotted to Shareholders in the Credit Foncier and MObilier of England (Limited). 6,000 Shares, with £4 paid, will be allotted to the general public, as also such shares (if any) as may not be applied for in the paid-up form, or by the ibove. Applications will also be received for 5,060 fully paid-up Shares, on which dividends for the whole amount paid-up will be declared. 1,540 Shares will be reserved for allotment in Bombay, ap plications for which will be received by Messrs. D. Sassoon and Co., i'orabay. The concession, plans, reports, and articles of association can be inspect-a at the Offices of the Solicitors. London, 21st February, 1865.

THE WAR IN AMERICA. THE PEACE MISSION. The following was enclosed in the message sent to Le Senate .. " MR. SEWARD'S MEMORANDA. " Department of State, Washington, Feb. 10. " The Secretary of State, to whom was referred a resolu tion of the Senate of the Bth inst., requesting the President of the United States, if in his'opinion it is:notincompatible with the public interests, to furnish to , the Senate any in formation in his possession concerning recent conversation or communications with certain rebels, said to have oc curred under Executive sanction, including communica tions with the rebel Jefferson Davis, and any correspon dence relating thereto, has the honour to report that the Senate may properly be referred to a special message of the President, bearing upon the subject of the resolution, and transmitted to the house this day. Appended to this report is a copy of the instructions which have been addressed to Charles Francis Adams, Esq., Envoy Extraor dinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States at London, and which is the only correspondence found in this department touching the subject referred to in the re solution.—Respectfully submitted, "To the President." 44 Wm. H. SEWARD. I MR. SEWARD TO MR. ADAMS. "Department of State, Washington, Feb. 9. " Sir,—lt is a truism that in times of peace there are always instigations of war; so soon as a war begins, there are citizens who emphatically demand negotiations of peace. The advocates of war, after an agitation longer or shorter, generally gain their fearful end, though the war declared is not unfrequently unnecessary and unwise. So peace agitations in time of war ultimately bring about an aban donment of the conflict, sometimes without securing the advantages which were originally expected from the con flict. The agitators for war in time of peace, and for peace in time of war, are not unnecessarily, or, perhaps, ordi narily, unpatriotic in their purposes or motives. Results alone determine whether they are wise or unwise. The treaty of peace concluded at Guadaloupe Hidalgo was secured by an irregular negotiation under the sanction of the Government. " Some of the efforts which have been made to bring about negotiations with a view to end our civil war aro known to the whole world, because they have employed foreign as well as domestic agents. Others with whom you have had to deal confidentially are known to yourself, although they have not publicly transpired. Other efforts have occurred here, which are known only to the persons actually moving in them and to this Government. I am now to give, for your information, an account of an affair of the:same general character which recently received much attention here, and which, doubtless, will excite inquiry abroad. "A few days ago Francis P. Blair, Esq., of Maryland, ob tained from the President a simple leave to pass through our lines without definite views known to the Government. Mr. Blair visited Richmond, and on his return he showed to the President a letter which Jefferson Davis had written to Mr. Blair, in which Davis wrote that Mr. Blair was at liberty to say to President Lincoln that Davis was now, as he always had been, willing to send commissioners, if assured they would be received, or to receive any that should be sent ; that he was not disposed to find obstacles in forms ; that he would send commissioners to confer with the Pre sident with a view to a restoration of peace between the two sections, if he could be assured they would be received. The President, therefore, on the 18th day of January, ad dressed a note to Mr. Blair, in which the President, after acknowledging that he had read the note of Mr. Davis, said that he was, is, and always should be willing to receive any agents that Mr. Davis, or any other influential man now actually resisting the authority of the Government, might send to confer informally with the President with a view to the restoration of peace to the people of our common country. " Mr. Blair visited Richmond with this letter, and then again came back to Washington, " On the 29th ult. we were advised from the camp of Lieut.-Gen. Grant that Alex. H. Stephens, R. M. T. Hunter, and J. A. Campbell were applying for leave to pass through the lines to Washington as peace commissioners to confer with the President. They were permitted by the lieute nant-general to come to his head-quarters to await there the decision of the President. Major Eckert was sent down to meet the party from Richmond at General Grant's head quarters. The major was directed to deliver to them a copy of the President's letter to Mr. Blair, with a note to be addressed to them and signed by the major, in which they were directly informed that they would be allowed to pass our lines if understood as coming for an informal conference upon the basis of the aforenamed letter of the 18th January to Mr. Blair. If they should express their as sent to this condition in writing, then Major Eckert was directed to give them safe conduct to Fortress Monroe, where a person coming from the President would meet them. It being thought probable, from a report of their conversation with Lieut.-Gen. Grant that the Richmond party would, in the manner prescribed, accept the condi tion mentioned, the Secretary of State was charged by the President with the duty of representing this Government in the expected informal conference. The Secretary arrived at Fortress Monroe on the night of the Ist of February. Major Eckert met him on the morning of the 2d February, with the information that the persons who had come from Richmond had not accepted in writing the condition upon which he was allowed to give them conduct to Fortress Monroe. The Major had given the same information by telegraph to the President at Washington. On receiving this information the President prepared a telegram direct ing the Secretary to return to Washington. The Secretary was preparing at the same moment to so return, without waiting for information from the President, but at this juncture Lieutenant-General Grant telegraphed to the Secretary of War, as well as to the Secretary of State, that the party from Richmond had reconsidered and accepted the condition tendered them through Major Ekert, and General Grant urgently advised the President to confer in . in tr_ person with the Richmond party. Under thes e stances the Secretary, by the President's cbrection, re mained at Fortress Monroe, and the Pres i dent joined him " The Richmond party were then informed that Congress had, on the 31st ult , adopted by a constitutional majority, a joint resolution submitting to the several State the pro position to abolish slavery throughout the Union, and that there is every reason to expect that it will be accepted by three-fourths of the States, so as to become a part of the national organic law. " The conference came to an end by mutual acquiesence, without producing an agreement of views upon the several matters discussed or any of them. Nevertheless, it is per haps of some importance that we have been able to submit our opinions and views directly to prominent insurgents, and to hear them in answer in a courteous and not un friendly manner.—. 4 am, &c., "WILLIAM H. SEWARD." THE CONFEDERATE ACCOUNT. The Richmond Sentinel of the Bth inst. thus re ports the speech of President Davis at the mass meeting at Richmond on the 6th inst. : " His Excellency the President of the Confederate States being on the stand, was loudly called for and went to the front. His appearance was the signal for prolonged and enthusiastic cheering. Round after round of cheers went up from all parts of the building, and every vocal energy of the vast assembly seemed taxed to its utmost in swelling the tremendous acclamations. The President meantime gracefully bowed his thanks to the different parts of the audience, and after the inspiring outburst of sympathy and enthusiasm had at length subsided he proceeded to address the assembly. We pretend to no more than to give the substance of some of his remarks. " The PRESIDENT said that if he were there to assist, in celebrating some great and decisive victory to our arms, or in hailing the establishment of peace, he should have been most happy. But in times like these which are now upon us, when dangers confront us and our path is beside the lee shore and the breakers, to witness the manifestation of such a spirit on the part of his countrymen as was there displayed was Mtn e than nappmess—it wirsi - c - joy:lie had alTvays looked with pride upon his countrymen. He had rejoiced in their patriotism and their courage. But he was prouderstill when he contemplated the fortitude which plucks flowers from reverses, and beats high with hope in the presence of fresh calls upon its courage and endurance. The President said that it was meet that the spirit which inspired this meeting should find its first utterance in Richmond. Here every day were heard the cannons of the enemy. In numerable hillocks in the neighbouring cemeteries tell of the brave men from every State in the Confederacy who have given their lives for their country. On one of the hills of this city stands that sacred building in which Patrick Henry and his compatriots pledged life for liberty. Here, too, was the capital of the Confederacy and of that proud old State which had been truly termed the 'mother of statesmen.' If the spirit which had been here indi cated shall meet with a general response, and prove to be the universal sentiment of the land, of which he did not doubt, then, indeed, would he feel that we are on the • very verge of success. (Loud cheers.) We should not again belinsulted by such terms of peace as the arrogance of the enemy has lately proposed ; but ere many months had elapsed our successes would cause them to feel that when talking to us they were talking to their masters. (Great applause.) Does any one, he inquired, who has seen the Confederate soldiers, believe they are willing to fail ? If so, the suspicion is most unjust. Go to our camps, go to our guarded lines, go where our pickets hold their dangerous watch, and to the posts where our sentinels tread their weary rounds, and you will find in none of those the place for grumblings and complaints. The resolutions of our soldiers exclaim, with Patrick Henry, Victory or death !' It is in the crowded mart where those are found whose pockets are stuffed with illgotten gains, that you find the persons who grumble and complain. (Applause.) The progress of events had, however, brought a pressure even upon these which would urge them to their duty. Their treasure is in danger, and their only security for it is in performing their duty to their country. The time for argument, said the President, is past. The duty that remains is to stand to our arms. He had just made an effort to secure peace, as he had done several times before. ' He had made it in the cause of humanity and the country. At the very organisation of our Government, in 31.ontgo mery, his first care was to send commissioners to Washmgton. They were rejected. At a later period he had requested the second officer under the Government (Vice-President Ste phens), to seek a conference, the avowed object being to make arrangements for the proper treatment and exchange of prisoners, but in addition to, and behind that, it was the object to institute, if possible, negotiations for peace. But our Vice-President was refused an audience, not even allowed to approach the throne. Since that time he had in various ways, and on every proper occasion, proclaimed the desire of this country for peace, and his own anxiety to secure it, but, until lately, no opening had presented for an ad vance toward negotiation. This recent opportunity he had embraced. He did it in the hope that some plan of accom modation might be agreed upon. He would be less than man if he had not felt an earnest desire, a yearning anxiety to relieve the country from the sufferings of the war, and to send our soldiers to their homes. Anything honourable, and recognising our independence as a basis, would have been gladly acceded to. The person did not know him who might suppose that, under any circumstances, he would con sent to reconstruct the late Union. We had now learnt the terms on which the enemy are willing to accord peace. We are required to make an unconditional surrender. We are not even allowed to go back to them as we came out, but are required to take just what a conqueror may choose to give the conquered. Man proposes, but God disposes. Re lying on the courage and devotion of his countrymen and reverently appealing to Heaven for its aid to our cause, the President said his confidence was firm that God would abase the arrogance of our enemies and crown our exertions with triumph. President Lincoln had, indeed, promised that in he enforcement of his laws for the confiscation of ourpro- ‘,...,/ Laaa.LL.L.L LaseaaLLA...a.• %Fa aaLL , La atm Tr La *WS ....,/ WV .......auni. I, .•..... ... - _ perty and the hanging of our officers his policy would be ' liberal.' (Laughter.) Beecher, in a late sermon at 'Wash ington, had pictured a long line of rebels on their way to the gallows; and President Lincoln's heart had, perhaps, softened at the length of the procession. The leaders whom they propose to hang are your servants, and they are not worthy to be your servants, the President said, unless they aro willing to bo sacrificed in your cause, eve n d n uto eath. (Applause.) If the power of the enemy were ten times greater and ours ten times less than it is, there are still some rights of which they could not dispossess us—the right beat citizens united iu to maintain our personal honour, and the right to fill a n ed country's so closely be honourable grave. (Loud applause.) If faithful to this end we shall stand proud among the proudest of earth. Never so lbeonfgorae war. Never N ith e y y. e p r Ve p fo le re r h e a m v a e in a com posed its armies. Our revolutionary forefathers were not un ited in a concord so perfect asours— thoug h 1 is h a d less pressure upon them, the British rulers true they human e than those of our present enemies , bein g more i gene rals belonging to a school that recognisedes, and their the amenities of war. History affords no parallel, the to the struggle which our countr y President con ti nue d, cheer fulness with which our people rha ve isnlaking— to the the courage With w hi c h our borne Sacrifices, and armies have marched to the there on the night of the 2d of February. The Richmond party was brought down the James river in a United States steamer transport during the day, and the transport was anchored in Hampton Roads. On the morning of the 3d the President, attended by the Secretary, received Messrs. Stephens, Hunter, and Campbell, on board the United States steam transport River Queen, in Hampton Roads. The Conference wes altogether informal. There was no attendance of secretaries, clerks, or other witnesses. Nothing was written or read. The conversation, although earnest and free, was calm and courteous and kind on both sides. The Richmond party approached the discussion rather indirectly, and at one time did they make categorical demands or tender formal stipulations or absolute refusals. Nevertheless, during the Conference, which_ lasted four hours, the several points at issue between the Government and the insurgents were distinctly raised and discussed fully, intelligently, and in an amicable spirit 'What the insurgent party seemed chiefly to favour was a postpone ment of the question of separation, upon which the war is waged, and a mutual direction of the efforts of the Government' as well as those of the insurgents to some extrinsic policy or scheme for a season, during which pas sions might be - expected to subside, and the armies be re duced, and trade and intercourse between the people of both sections be resumed. It was suggested by them that through such postponement we might now have immediate peace, with some not very certain prospect of an ultimate satis factory adjustment of political relations between the Go vernment and the States, section or people, now engaged in conflict with it. The suggestion, though deliberately considered, was, nevertheless, regarded by the President as one of armistice or truce, and he announced that we can agree to no cessation or suspensionof hostilities except on the basis of the disbandment of the insurgent forces and the restoration of the national authority throughout all the States in the Union. Collaterally, and in subordination to the proposition which was thus announced, the anti-slavery policy of the United States was reviewed in all its bearings, and the President announced that he must not be expected to depart from the positions he has heretofore assumed in his proclamation of emancipation and other documents, as these positions were reiterated in his annual message. It was further declared by the President, that the complete restoration of the national authority everywhere was an indispensable condition of any assent on our part to what ever form of peace might be proposed. The President assured the other party, that while he must adhere to these positions he would be prepared, so far as power is lodged with the Executive, to exercise liberality. Its power, how ever, is limited by the constitution, and, when peace should be made, Congress must necessarily act in regard to appro priations of money and to the admission of representatives from the insurrectionary States. University College. -.--- The annual general meeting of the members of ;his college took place yesterday, in the theatre of he institution ; Sir F. Goldsmid in the chair. A: lengthy report was read, from which the follow ng facts were gathered :—The number of pupils in the college during the session 1863-64 was 773 ; viz., 387 students, including 13 attending the even ing classes of Latin, Greek, mathematics, and natural philosophy, and 386 boys in the junior school. The students of the faculty of medicine were 161, of whom 48 were new students. The students of the faculty of arts and laws were 213, including the 13 attending the evening classes. The new students in the general classes were 136. The stu dents of analytical chemistry in the Birkbeck labo ratory were 15. The highest number of boys in the junior school in any term was 333. The receipts for the session 1863-4 from students and pupils for fees, omitting fees for hospital practice was £10,896 10s. 4d. and £2O received in the previous session ; 12,542 10s. for attendance on medical classes ; £2,797 for attendance on the classes of the faculty of arts and laws ; and £5,577 on account of the junior school. The share of professors and masters, exclusive of the annual augmentations to the professors of natu ral philosophy and comparative anatomy, and of the interest of the Patriot Fund paid to the professors of the evening classes for attendance at reduced fees by schoolmasters and ushers, was £8,625 10s. 10d. The college portion was £2,278 19s. 6d. The sum of £966 19s. received for clinical in struction at the hospital was paid to the hospital committee towards the support of the charity. The entries for the current session up to this period were :—Medical students, 150, of whom 47 were new students ; new entries to the hospital, 38 ; students of the faculty of arts and laws, 202, of whom 119 were new students ; analytical chemistry, 20. The number of boys in the junior school this term was 337, whereas at the corresponding period of last year the number was only 318. Since the last general meeting a racquet-court and two covered fives-courts had been erected on the college ground —the racquet-court and one of the fives- court for the use of students paying a moderate subscription, and the other fives-court for the use of the pupils of the school. This addition to the property of the Col lege had been obtained without any encroachment on its capital. As regarded the hospital the council found cause for congratulation in its improved con dition, both present and prospective. The amount of invested property was now more than £12,000, yielding an income of nearly £6OO a year. The debt had been reduced from £7,900 to £4,500 to the end of October last. Legacies of £2,000 free of duty for investment and of £6OO for general purposes were payable in the course of the year. The rever sionary property in which the charity was interested might be estimated at upwards of £70,000. The great event of thepast year had been the bequest of the residuary and purely personal estate of the late Mr. Edward Yates. This was estimated at upwards of £40,000, subject, however, in part at least, to an annuity of £1,500 provided for the testator's mother by the will of his father, and a moiety of the income was to be applied for the benefit of convalescent patients. Amongst the donations during the past year was £lOOO received from Mr. Crawford, M.P., being a sum of money placed at his disposal by the Hon. Rustomjee Jamsetjee Jeejebhoy for distribu tion amongst the charities of London. Mr. B. MOCATTA, in moving the adoption of the report, expressed his regret that the college was not progressing so satisfactorily as could be wished in an institution for educating the youth of this country ; but at the same time it was most gratifying to know that the council were using every effort to lead to a more flourishing state of things. Mr. GREGORY seconded the motion, which was adopted, and a president, vice-president, treasurer, members of council, and auditor were elected. Mr. H. M. BoMPAS, M.A ~ then proposed a reso lution to the effect that it i s desirable that a com plete scheme of evening classes should be established in connection :with the college, and that th e counc il be requested to consider what means can be adopted for that purpose. A brief discussion took place upon this subject, and on the motion that it be adjourned, the CHAIR MAN said he did not think such a course desirable, as the council would take the matter into their earnest consideration. The businessthen --- ciosed with a cordial vote of thanks to the chairman. EAST INDIA REVENUES.—By a return publishhd yesterday it appears that the total amount of stocks, loans, debts, and liabilities chargeable on the East India revenues was, in India on April 30, 1863, 487,017,929; and in Eng land on Dec. 31, 1864, 428,509,776. m STARVED TO DEATH AND £l2B Is Ti BANK.— Yesterday, an inquiry took place Liver pool borough Coroner touching the e d w ea hat suddenly on named Ellen M‘Grath, who died som e who was between the previous Saturday.

It WLt this magnaninionii-sgrn-s¢hicit at,siained him in the confidence that V;13:-should trinnaphlw the end. We have been chastened and maybe :in. kit us profit by the lesson reverses are designed to teach, that we aro not to serve a friend merely because he is such, or strike an enemy when we might serve the country. The President here said that his failing strength admonished him to close his remarks, but he yielded to loud requests to 'go on.' We must, he said, lock shields together and go forward to save onr country, or sink together to honour- • able graves. (Loud applause.) He was not of those who had expected no discord and no parties, but if our disagreement result from passion we must exercise it, and make the good of our country our sole aim. If we will all do our duty we shall reap a brilliant reward. If the ab sentees from our armies will return, and if the local assist ance be rendered which may be readily afforded, the noble army of Northern Virginia will read General Grant a yet severer lesson than it taught him from the. Rapidan to the, JameS ; while the gallant Beauregard will cause Sher man's march across Georgia to be his last. We had, said the President, in the conduct of the enemy wherever they had gained temporary rule over our people, the signs of what they would do in our :subjugation. Thus warned, we were forewarned. Happy in such a case would be those, who had fallen in the, fight; the miserable would be the survivors. In conclusion, the President said he had gratifying proofs of the spirit which animated the people whom he addressed. He had even seen tha old men upon duty, careless alike of the_ piercing blast and whistling bullet, and your women have declared that they will fight the battle if you should recoil. God bless your proud Spirit and manly fortitude. History will de light to dwell upon your praise. The law and the officers of the law could not accomplish everything. There was much that could be effected only by a sound public opinion. Public opinion must make it a shame and disgrace for a 'man to skulk from his duty or to inquire not what he is able to do, but the law will make him do. Our women must take broomsticks and drive absentees and stragglers to their duty. (Loud cheers.) We have one cause to sus tain, one country to defend. He who falls on the soil of Louisiana or sheds blood on the soil of North Carolina or Virginia is alike an honoured martyr. The inquiry among that, a genenus amona, • ail"a" States hick us must be not what servi cz.Nye pscal imt. instead of shall do most andgive most to the cause. (Loud applause.) "The President resumed his seat amid loud and enthu siastic cheering." _~~ ~'
