FROM VIE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTF.RDAY. lIE AI.D.--The Bank broker was again MI the market to day, but timpla. h. enough his sales were limited to the usual amount of 311,030/. stock, as before for account of the Savings Banks. The continuance of these sales would seem to betoken a " tightuesss" of money somewhere about the Treasury equal to what has prevailed in fine City, whilSt the smollncss of the dail venture would seem to indicate a suspicion that the mar ket is in too unsettle-I a s'atc to bear any large pressure of stock upon it. The closing prices of the funds to-day show less firmness, which to some extent may be aseribab'e to the aprre hensions entertained of the news which may be brought by the • Columbia steamer of the Halifax and Boston line now due, ar.d her arrival fully expected this morning. It may be ob served, howeve t, the, as she haves Boston on the Ist of this month, her dates Nen New York can hardly be later than the 2t•tth ult., or from Wasleington than the 27th, consequently, as it was not anticipated that the present. Cmg , ess, who- e func tions with those of President Van Buten, expire en the 3d in s t , would take gay further action than what it had com mitted itself to in me printing of the firebrand report of Mr. Pickens, the chief point of interest attaching to the ar rival of the Columbia lies in' the chance 'of some overt ae monstration:on the part of the State of Maine for the purpose . of carrying out the resolutions so vigorously adopted, if it can, for di iving the British from the oecupation of the terri tory in 'dispute. It may be hoped however that the Columbia will be enabled to bring intelligence of the arrival out of the Pres:dent steamer to New York which left here time 10th of last month, and was the bearer, as understood, of impertent despatches fiet the British Minister at Washington m re'crence to the case of Mr. M'Leod, the event of which would be decisive of. his further stay in that capital and in fast perhaps of the question of peace er war. As the Presi,ient temild be the first steam-vessel subsequently from the ether side, and would leave New York on the 10. h instant, the intl - of the installation of President - Harrison and the new CotmereSs on-the Tth - inst.M., wittetWeßull message indicative perhaps of the future policy to be followed, cannot in fact be expected before her arrival here, about the. 25th inst. In con sequence the prevalent anxiety about the news from the United Statestthe funds were heavy and Consols depressed. HAYMARKET THE riTitE. Age. s, Q. d. I Age. I S. d 25 118 6 I 35 1210 11 45.

TABLE of PREMIUMS for Assuring 1001. for the Whole Term of Life. A most successful season closed at this theatre on Monday. After the perfbrniances of the even ing Mr. Webster, the lessee, came fbrward and delivered the following address which was rc ceived with warm applause:— " Ladies and Gentlemen—Each succeeding season seems to wi h an lucre , se of your patronage, and I have so often had to gratefully thank you, that I ate !cally at a loss to find words sufficiently varied and forcible to express my feelings on the present occasion - indeed, words can never sufficiently ex pre-s the deep debt of gratitude I owe you ; but I will endea vour, by unwearied exertion, and a free use of the means you have placed within my power, to deserve the liberality you have hitherto extended to my efforts in catering for your amuiement. Ladies and Gentlemen, with to-night, this theatre will have teen open, continually and prosperously with the legitimate drama only, a twelvemonth and - a day, and in that time up wards of three hundred nights' salary have been paid to every individual regularly engazed on this establishment—a circum stance unprecedented in theatrical. history, and proving that those who rail at the want of support to the highest older of dramatic writing abuse the public taste most unjustly ; for, to judge of the future by the pas', I cmid, I verily believe, be open from year's end to year's end during the remainder of my term with considerable profit to myself, and, I am presuming etiough to hope, with some gratification to you. The extension kindly granted to this theatre by the Lord Chamberttin has been a boon to both the actors- and manager, fn. they have lost no time, and I hare been enableil to run Sir E. L. Bulwer's comedy of Money for eighty conseeutiv a nights. The close of this theatre is compulsory to re-decorate, repair, and thoroughly cleanse it, which shall be done with a studious regard to the comfort and accommodaion of the numerous visitors :who honour us with their presence. The re-opening wi.l be on Easter Monday, with Mr. -Power, who, I am happy to inform you, has entirely recovered his health, Mr. Buckstone, and Madame Ceeste, in addition to the many eminent artists form ing the company of this season now terminated. Mr. Charles Kean will also appear for a limited number of nights in May next; arid the whole talent engaged will, I trust, be worthily brought into play by the first dramati , ts of the clay ; among whom I may mention, as a'ready actively at work, Mr. Poole, Mr. Jcrrsl-1, Mr. Bernard, and Mr. Sheridan Knowles. Again heartily and sincerely thanking you, Ladies and Gentle men, I most respectfully, in the name of performers and myself, until the 12th of April next, bid you farewell." Age. I Premium. Age.

SMITH, Actuary. ANNUAL DIVISION OF PROFITS. UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE SO CIETY, 1, King William-street, Loudon. Established 1834. Empowered by Act of Parliament. One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the fire preceding years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders; three- fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen contingencies. The first division of Profits took place on the 13th of May, 1840, when a reduction of 60 per cent. was deplored on the annual premiums of all those policies entitled to partici ation. Policies effected before the Second Wednesday in May will entitle the holAers to participate in the profits twelve months earlier than those effected at a sub3equent period. The following table w'll show the operation of the reduction made by the Society : Age when Dace of Policy Policy. was issued. Annual Sum •Origlna 1 Premium linlucti on I Assured.

Nor was this all. A f !Iv mouths afterwards the WI ig patron, the .Earl of Yarborot l / 4 .zh, deleve.rel nn elaborate and argumentative address to a crowded hail of working men, on the mischievous effects of trade,' unions upon • their orcn members. Not only was this a(l , !rrsr, upon vrhi:h :he audieace might be naturally cxrceted to be both sac and semi ice, heard with patience, but with re reatjd plaudit;; and many a working man went assay with the eQr,v'e•ion that to - attempt to f•ttter or control voluntarily 'invested capita', wax ti rein the Lcst n a - ket f.)r his owa..lab,ur; inejudicial is might be to the mater, suicidal it must be i.i the long run to the man.

They are shrew;! . c-iough to kuow that those who ietend to oppress at al!! never t egin by en!iglteuing these—inasmuch as such ealig'it,Aiment must ever be the best protection ag.inst Lush oppressior. Shortly i ftei wards ba'f a dozen similar institutions sprung tip in rani sus towrs f the county, affiliating with Ulric parent; and hundreds,- I may say; thousands, a • .working men have beei iadueed to exchargt the tar rooat for the beet . r '-room—delorsuc'eery and ribaldry, for reading and reflection.. That reasoning must be very in. gcnious which would represent resul's like these us lulus:- cal to religion and the good order of society.

To tho:e who argue that the enectuageme it cf c ence among the work i •g da ses makes them impatient of labour, and lcal3 them to y. I adduce ii whole nation as a proof to the cont ary. What people is there on the fa •:.• of the esith nu re genera ly or het ec educate(' than the S.:o•ch ; arid what nation is There that surp:sleti, c); eve i equal , tie Scout', i.i patient endurance, in it , sidu'ty, in industry, in prudes co, in cc momy ? Let the Lrm •r 1!, hut now , well cultivated, fi•lds of Upp• r Canada ansvcr this q • - tion ; and, as to the h.fidelity to which perular 1 ar. ii ig is said to lead, I again ask, what people is truce mere re lizious than the Secteh ?

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tio.s, which fer some unaccountable reason have keen either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the ci dinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation et a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR. or a CLERGYMAN.

FROM TILE DAILY PAPERS OF lESTRIMAY• (From the Times.) Rumours which reached us during the course of last week had prepared us for the probable result of the Bishop of Exe ter's motion. Lord . Bathurst's incurs oration of the trustees of the Seminary of Nicolet in tt'2l appeared to the Duke of Wel lington to constitute a precedent for Lord Sydenham's incor poration of the ecclesiastics of the Seminary of St. eulpice in 1841 ; the discovery of a preeee'ent had the effect of setting all questioes of principle at rest; and. the Bishop, deserted hi-these whe-c encouragement had urged him on to call upon the Peers of Great Britain to interfere in the ens?. was compelled, by w:thdrawing his motion, to save I iniself from the mortifica tion of seeing it rejected. We must say, that upon this occa sion the C,,nservator leaders in the House of Lords do not seem to us to have made a very creditable figure. We refer not so much to the failu e of the Duke of Wellington's memory as to transac t ions in which he was officially engaged at. so late a period as 1833. What strikes us as the painful feature in the case is, tl-at a queStion which on Thursday, the 4th ink., was warmly taker[ up on grounds of principle, should have been aband ,ned on Monday, the 15th for the sake of mere party considerations. The Right Rev. Mover proceeded fromn - he first cautiously in this matter, and save no notice et any motion upon the sub j. et till he had tounleci the House, and received from the most influential quarter the strongest assurances of sueport. What was the tone of the Duke of Wellington on the 4th inst. ? He expressed his er ditude to the Bishop for bringing the matter forward ; lie spoke cf Lord Sydenham'snrdinance with indig na i en, as an attempt to break in Open " the Protestant Con stitution of this country," as aneanzecedented departure from the " principles of the Reforrnatien. ' The Bishop of Exeter was emhol. cited (as who would not hive been ?) by these and other strong cxpression3Of the iLtistrious Duke, to submit a de finite proposition on the subject, and we now Sc e the result. The Duke has been convinced in the interval, not. that the ordinance which moved' his inch gnation on Fe iday week is recencileable with "the Protestant constitution - of she country," but only that it it is net unprecedented; that the example of a similar "departure from the principles of the Reformation" was ori ginally set 'by a Tory GoVernment, and thereupon all his indig nstion vanishes. Conduct, which would have been uneonsti tutioeal and illegal, if the Whigs had been the first to adopt it, appears in a different, light when sanctified-by the associa tions of Toryism. Nei. is this the only weak point in the speeeFof yesterday. We should have expected from a s:atesman of his experience and sagacity a greater knowledge of constitutional law than was determination in his determinain - to regard the charter of the trustees of Nicelet as a precedent for Lord Syd nham's incorporation cf the seminary of St. " The ordinance," he said, "established the corpo ration of St. Sulpice almost in the S3lllO words as the patent establishing- St. leicelet, which was as much an ecclesiastical corporation as the other, being composed entirely of Roman Catholic ecclesiastics and none other." Now this i; purely a legal question, and Lord Lyndhurst,' or any other lawyer in the Clouse, could have tell his Grace, that a corporation coins posed entirely of Church of England ecclesiastics, for Church of England objects, is not therefore an ecclesiastical corpora tion. The trustees of Nicola, in short, are as much a lay corporation as the Lori Mayor, Aldermen, and Commonalty of the City of Loadon. But the ecclesiastics of St. Sulpiee, are by Lord Sydenham's orAnance, expres , ly an 1 in terms .erected into " an ecclesiastical or spiritual corporation, com nzunaute ceelesiastique.•' The Duke of Wellington has evi dentiy no idea of the importance of this distinction, which, nevertheless, is a inn st real ore, and involves the whole ques tion wheth r the Roman Catholic is henceforth to be recog nized in Ca.nada as the State religion or not; we shall rather soy, a; one of the State religion;; fur among other peculiari ties of this unhappy ordinance, it is the first overt act. by which the British Government has sanctioned the establishment of two State religions in one colony and at the same time. The Duke cf Well:ngton seems to be alive to the very serious detects of the ordinance upon the sere of legality, arising from its conflict with the recent acts of Parliament. relating to the government of Canada; but strangely enough, he treated these defects as ad ditional reasons for urging the Bishop of Exeter to withdraw his metion. We cannot sufficiently express our regret that a question involving so many important points of law should have come on for eiscuasion during the absence of the Learned Judges on the Circuit. If ever there was an instance in which the House of Lords had occasion for solemn consultation with those grave authorities, it was assuredly this. (From the Morning Chronicle.) The Times continues its attacks upon Lord Ponsonby, upon the assumption that all the harshness to be found in the hatti scheriff was suggested by the personal enmity of our Am bassador. Nothing can be more groundless either than the assumption or the inference drawn from it. In the first place, that which is denounced as extreme rigour in the firman is so denounced upon a misapprehension of its real object. We yesterday quoted the argument of a French paper, an organ of the Thiers party, which contends for the un conditional hereditary tenure, upon the ground that such a tenure 'Mall.; sovereignty, and that conditions are inconsinent with sevcreiglity. The argument is perfectly ju't. Now, what has been from the begin ning the object of the policy of the Allies? Was it not to prevent the establishment of a "sovereignty ?" If, then, the Pachalie he unconditionally ceded en heredite, is not the object defeated which the Times itself has been supporting for the last twelve months? We repeat what we stated befere, that it is to this article alone that Mehemet Ali decidedly objects; and the chief ground of his objection ire understand to be, that he fears it is directed against the succession of Ibrahim Pacha. So far, however, from this apprehension being well-grounded, we have it in our power to state, that woh the hatti scheriff there came an amicable -communication, assuring the Pacha that, from considerations which can be easily appreciated, the Sultan would dispense with the personal attendance either of Mehemet or of Ibra him, should he outlive him, at Constantinoie, in order to be invested., o ith the Patehal:c. So that the succession of Ibrahimlsnatitash . indireetly gueranteed. Nor do we enter tain the slightest doubt that the intention of the Sultan—which is only to reserve to himself the appointment in case of the in fancy or incapacity of the leg:timate successor—will be ten dered sufficiently aistinet to appease all the apprehensions of the Pacha. lie has, in fact, already accepted the hatti scheriff, a , .d only prays a modification of some articles, which it is net at all likely will be refused. It is a mere chimera of the Times to supeo.e that any misunderstanding is likely to result upon this affair amongst the European Powers. To this objection a very little thou will give the most satisfactory reply that can be offered. (From the Globe.) That the Bishop of Exeter and the Times have been most cavalierly thrown overboard by " the Conservative leaders in the House of Lords" in the matter of the St. Sulpice Seminary, is a fact justly prosocaCve of the ire of Bishop, Reporter, and Editor. The Right Rev. Prelate must henceforth rank as a Gentleman of the Press. To the great horror of the dignified assembly in which he sits, he communicatss documents to the Times reporter, and reads the reporter's notes in reply. Perhaps the Right Reir. Prelate thinks that, in' these times of advancing Popery, it is well for him to have two strings to his bow, and, in ca c of expulsion from his diocese by papal persecution, to tike - refuge from Smithfield in Prineng House-square. We do not say it as a me-e compliment ; but we really know no services which would be more valuable to the v O perative part of the press than the Bishop of Exeter's. If a period of persecution should come, such as tries men's souls, the Right Rev. Prelate's soul would prove, upon trial, in far better harmony with the duties of a certain sort of journalism than with those of episcopacy. Odimus accipitrent, quiz maier tiivit is arinis—and such appears to be, pro tty generally, the sort of anti pathy excited by Vie Bishop of Ex, t-r's constant itch of religious discord. It is drlghtful to see him left in the lurch, as he was last night. " We most say,' quoth the Times, " that upon this occasion. the Con servative leaders in the House of Lords do not seem t us to have made a very credit able figure." Of course not; they were blasphemously arrayed against the Bishop of Exeter, the Tunes reporter, nay the 'Pi/ries itself. A discreditahle figore must have been made by somebody ; aid it is obvious that it was much less likely to be made by the Times, and its Bishop, than by Lord Ripon, the Duke of Wellington, the " Conser vative leaders," in short, and the Lords generaly. To speak seriously, we are greatly pleased with the frank ness and good sense of tl:e speeches of Lord Ripon aid . the Duke of Wellington. (From the Standard.) The House of Lords has virtually decided upon revoking the Protestant Reformation, as far as the united provinces of Canada are concerned. The House of Lords will before long have abundant reason to reflect upon this step. Let their Lordships call to mind the position which they •occup'e 1 in public opinion in 1830, and then count back the months be tween that year and th&r first defection from Protea tent principles. This short ea'culation may help them to an estimate of their place in pablle respect and con fidence about the year 1843. Whoever has rm.; our ren.arks upon the expected debate of list night in the Standard, of yesterday, and in shine preceding numbers of this paper, must acknowledge that we anticipated fully what has occurred. We were not deceived. The past has not been lost upon us. We have too often seen the fires lighted, the pickets put into ac tivity, all the preparations for a decisive onward movement (to borrow a military illustration), as the prelude to a retreat—we have too often seen these things not perfectly to understand their mean ing. But enough of this ; " the blow at the " Protes tant Reformation " has been struck ; and it matters little whether it is the first blow that the Fret's tent Reformation has received, since it is the first blow struck by the House of Lords. That is the matter for their Lordships' consideration, anal for the consideretion of the country—for we suppose neither their Lordships nor any of us are responsible for the small strokes ir.flictsel in private by Lord Bathurst or his successor's—strokes so small and so obscure that they seem to have been unnwiced at the time, or forgotten as soon as administered. We have the fact acknowledged, that this ordinance of St. Sulpice is " a blow at the Protestant Reforma tion." These words stand unretracted, and the ques tion remains for the public, whether the_ House of Lords ought to sanction tl e striking of this blow ? (From the Courier.) The Select Committee on Rsilways met yesterday, and Sir F. Sm th was examined on the part of the Board of Trade in fa\ our of the unlimited powers of the Bill now in the llouse.

Their elements are as different as the names and families of the members, and the interest of the several provinces as opposite as anything can be. It will, therefore, be rather difficult to reconcile them, and much -will depend on the ability of the " Marsh:lls" of The " Itndtage," es the incetin,2s of the Sates of the provinces are styled. The transactions of the meetings of the States are regularly published in the paper=, and the State .Gazettc, a very dry and uninteresting paper, seems to indulge partieul :Ay in these home news.

In case (as the rumour goes) Count Pontois should succeed Count 11: esson, the dif ference between these two people wi l be sensibly felt, as the former is but a courtier, and full of the pretensions of the haute voice. The death of the Electress i f Hesse, a sister of the late King, and an txcellent woman, has caused a tempo rary interrupti'•n in the Court festivals. - There are now but two brothers of the late King alive—Prince Henry, who lives at Rome, and has, it seems, given up the idea of t eturning to his native country, and Prince Wiliam. the younger brother, who married a Princess of Hesse Homburg, sister to the p e sent Landgrave of Hesse, and sister-in-law to the late Princess Elizabeth of Engh.nd.

CORPORAL. — Some days since, when the Vincennes r4lemcn passed through Douay, on their road from Algiers to St. Omer, every one was eager to see the crosses conferred on them for the courage of which they bed given such remarkable proofs in Africa, and a certain degree of surp , ise was felt on seeing how scattily these rewards had been bestowed on she gallant band; but thole who have deeerved the glorious recompense arc to rec• ire it, we are informed, on their arrival at, St. Omer, from the hands of the Prince Royal in person. A corporal of the re giment, a fine athletic man, wearing the red ribbon on a coat worn threadb re by hard service, attracted every eye, and his order of knighthood was acquired in the following valiant manner:—Corporal N. (we regret our inability to give the gallant fell,w's name) was firing, with some dozen comrades, against a band of Arabs, when suddenly the latter retr. a'ed, and were followed by the Frenchmen. The corporal did not perceive the movement ti I it was eff, cued, and was about to rush forward to rejoin his men, when he beheld lying on the ground his lieutenant bathed in his blood. At the same moment seven Arabs rushed from a thicket to massacre the French officer, whose fall they had witnessed. The nature of the ground afforded the corporal full means to avoid the murderous band, but his honour forbade him to desert his offi cer, and he resolved to protect him or die. He consequently advanced to meet the foe, and, taking a cool ;dal, had the good fortune to disable two, wiih h.s bayonet he soon killed three more ; another, frightened at the sight of his dead and wounded comrades, made off ; one foe alone remaineil, and he resolutely caught the Frenchman round the body, and a terri7 ble struggle ensued near the brink of a precipice, to the bottom of which the two antagonists rolled locked in each other's armt. The combat continued thrre, and victory long remained undecided ; when, fortunately for the corporal, an argular stone was in his reach, and with that offensive weapon he struck the Arab a tremendous blow on the head and koocked out his brains. The cor poral then succeeded with difficulty in getting out of the goree into which he had fallen, and found that some corm - axles had returned to the assistance of the wounded officer, who, as soun as he beheld the corporal come forward, his face streaming with blood and his body covered with wounds, exclaimed, ." There is he who saved ire," and immediately embraced his delivt rer with fra•ernal affection. The officer and corporal were carried in triumph amid the applause of the battalion, and the cress of the Legion of Honour was given to the non-commis sioned officer as a reward for the gallantry of his conduct.

Ci , PHILHARMONIC CONCERT. Monday night the second concert of the season took place, and presented features of attraction, which give promise cf brilliant success. Considering the great power of this orchestra, loud complaints have been reiterated that the concerts presented nothing worthy of its high bearing in the musical world—that the programmes of the evening were a continued routine, and although we. readily admit that many of the majestic sym. phonies of Beethoven arc ever fresh, and ever new, sti I a de pendence on these and Haydn's, and Mozart's, betokens a lazy way of performing, the di::,tinguishcd duties which devolve upon the diractors of this c-lebrated concert. It. has often beep rs arkml how very inferior the vocal music at the PhiMM , IL . it most not-be .forgotten that the sublime dints which the Orclie.tra produces in the highest order of symphonies usually performed there, riaces the singer under a most disattvantageous comparison. rhere are not many vocal compositions that can stand the test, and there are st•il fewer vocalist; who dare to risk their fame rod reputation by venturing on the highest order of vocal eompa i tion. These are circumstances operating to the disad-ant age of the Philharmonic, but seldom or ever noticed in extenuation of any failure ; in the whole concerns, however uttexception ab!e, many portions of each may have been. The concert of last night was an exception to the old rou tine, and we hail it as the precursor of a great revival of this Society. The orcheitra consisted of about 150 performers, including a well trained choral band, collected together at an expense of nearly three hundred guineas. Great efforts must have been put forth to secure the magni ficent result of the evening, for which the Directors deserve not only the thanks of the subscribers but of the musical world in general ; and we trust that the public—who seldom overlook exertions made to deserve their patronage—will so encourage the Philharmonic as to enable the Society to continue the whole series of concerts upon the magnificent scale of last night. Mr. Loder led, and Mr. Lucas conducted. The following is the programme : ACT I. Sinfonia in F- . --Ries. Second Fin (Oberon) —C. 111; Von Weber. Concerto, Violin, Mr. Bla.grove—Kreutzer. Srena, Miss Rainforth, " Ocean, thou mighty monsto:," :Oberon) —C. M. Von Weber. Overture. Benvenuto Cedilla (first timo of performance in London )—Berlioz. ACT It " Lobgesan i g," a Hymn 131Yrai;e (first time of performance in London)—F. Mendelssohn Bartholdy. The noveThes of the evening were Mendelsshon's Hymn of PrAse, Berlioz, overture, and Ries' Symphony. , The Symphony was executed in a manner which - set at de fiance all comparison in this country. The veteran Lindley enchanted the audience with the fine compositions allotted to him. The finale to Oberon followed, and left a melancholy impression on our mind, of the cold and withering neglect which its great author experienced in his latter days. The Concerto of Kreuzer was most beautifully played by Mr. lilagrove. If a little more soul, and energy eould be in fused into this most talented young artist, he would be the most dhtinguished violinist of the present time. The performance concluded with the scena from Oberon in which !Hiss Rainforth who had been unable to, attend in time displayed great skill and power. The overture of Berlioz will excite a great variety of criti cism ; but nevertheless the Directors deserve great credit for introducing his writings to an English public. The " Lobgesank" though a little lengthy in the symphony potions, is a superb composition. There are gems in it which must soon make it familiar in every musical family, among which we would particularize the solo, Miss Rainforth and chorus, " Praise the Lord , 0 m y soul ; all that is in me p d the raise his •ly name. Do nor forget all his benefits." An charming duet, Miss Rainforth and Miss Williams, and chorus, " I waited for the Lord; he inclined unto me; he heard my complaint. Blest are they that put their hope and trust in the Lord." Upon the whole, we think this Concert one of the,very finest we have ever heard, and it afforded us much pleasure to see the roam crowded. The experiment of last night must be con tinued, and the crowning reward of sucwsk _is sure to follow. The Concert altogether was well • performed, the room was crowded to witness the experiment, and we cordially hope that the attempt to do justice to these great compositions will ulti mately be crowned with complete success. 10 JO o) JO 0 t°64 i 1 6 to~~ i fi~ g 4 , a t- L.llO too
