" Mr. Allen is entitled . to great praise for the very satis factory manner in which' Le has compiled it, and the judg ment with which he has embellished it.

ACRITICAL INQUIRY into ANCIENT ARMOUR, as it existed in Europe, but particularly in England, from the Norman Conquest to the Reign of King CLarles 11., with a Glossary of Military Terms of the Middle Ages. By SAMUEL RUSH AIEYRICK, LL.D. and F.S.A. Advocate in the Ecclesiastical and Admiralty Courts. 3 vols., folio, 121., (published at 211.,) neatly half-bound in calf, lettered, and uncut. J. DOWDING, Bookseller, 82, Newgate-street, having become the sole Propri:itor of this magnificent and popular Work, most respectfully informs the Public that, in conse quence of the heavy outlay in the purchase of a Property so valuable, and to insure as speedy a return as possible, he has determined to offer a limited number of copies, at little more than half the publication price; a most important opportunity for the tasteful collector of rare and beautiful books, as the immense expence of a publication of this pe culiar nature must render a re-print impossible. This superb Work will, doubtless, shortly restarts its original standard price, from which it can never again be reduced; and, as it is perfectly unique, it may reasonably be expected that its value will rapidly rise in proportion to its scarcity. J. D., therefore, submits to his friends the advantage of an early purchase. This work is the produce of the most extensive research in the field of antiquity. Every statement contained within its pages is founded upon original documents and authentic records, and thus it is admirably adapted to ex plain the origin, progress, and decline, of the various sys tems of warfare "in by-gone days." Its invariable adhe rence to historical facts is the basis of its intrinsic value; and the correctness of its delineations renders it highly inte resting, not only to the learned and the curious, but to every one desirous of becoming advantageously acquainted with the history of nati ons an d o f men. History, both ancient and modern, abounds with descriptions of renowned martial heroes and their deeds, and with allusions to the prominent local customs of every age. The beautiful work of Dr. Meyrick is, therefore, expressly calculated to throw a new and a brilliant light upon the attractive pages of Hume, Robertson, Gibbon, Mitford, Roscoe, and Hallam, and even of Shakspeare himself. After a brief account of the rise and progress of warfare, and the use of arms among the ancient nations, the armour and the weapons, not only of the warrior, but of the plumed Knight engaged in the courtly tournament, are minutely described as they existed in England from the Norman Conquest to the reign of Charles the Second ; and the Descriptions are accompanied by a numerous and splendid assemblage of exquisite En gravings, inlaid with gold amid silver, and coloured in a style of great delicacy and beauty. The Initial Letters of the chapters are richly illuminated, in the manner of the ancient missals, and embellished with curious antique Representations of the Customs and Characters of the Times. The Edinburgh Review justly observes, that " the ground of dead silver upon which the Initial Letters are raised, has an effect that is extremely beautiful." Many of the illustrations display the figu res o f ce l e b rated Heroes on horseback in full armour, with the weapons they used, and with the horses superbly caparisoned, as they appeared in the field of battle. What can be more appropriate for the elucidation of the History describing the gloriouS scenes in which they were engaged ? Such an Illustration of the most interesting branch of general knowledge has long been a desideratum in British Literature, and it has been ably supplied by the talents and the labours of Dr. Meyrick, who has thus become entitled to the thanks of his country for an important National Work, in which accuracy, mag nificence, and utility, are equally combined.

FROM the very high esteem in which the above Remedy is held in the East, and its tried good effects in numberless instances in this Country, it is likely to be of the most essential service in removing that pain ful affliction Rheumatism, which from the changeableness of our atmosphere is so prevalent in this Country. The utility of the Arthritic Liniment is not confined to Rheumatic Complaints only, but will be found useful in all internal Inflammations of Joints, and possesses an in fluence peculiar to itself, in addition to its effects as a counter-irritant.

DREADFUL AND DESTRUCTIVE FIRE, SUPPOSED THE WORK OF AN INCENDIARY.—OR Sunday morning last, about two o'clock, the extensive premises of Messrs. JOSHUA Loc}moon and Co. manufacturers of cotton and wot'lie❑ cords, &c. in Manchester-street, Hud dersfield, were discovered to he •n fire, and such was the rapidity with which the devouring element pursued its de vastating course, that in about twenty minutes the roof of the principal mill fell in, and shortly afterwards all the floors in succession. Two fire-engines arrived on the spot as soon as possible, and by dint of unremitting exertions, the remai•.ing parts of the premises were nearly all pre served, without material injury. Fortunately, the morn. ing was calm, but had there been a moderately strong west wind, the whole of the premises, and probably a great part of Manchester-street must have fallen a sacrifice to the flames. This is the most dreadful conflagration that has happened iu the town or neighbourhood of Huddersfield, for a number of years. The loss, it is said, will be about 10,0001., and we are sorry to add, that there is very little doubt, but that this dreadful calamity is the diabolical act of some incendiary, as the fire broke out in a new unfinish ed building, adjoining the mill, in which there had never been any light or fire, for the floor was not finished, and no door was put in ; and Mr. Locxwoon states that no light had been in the mill, (to his knowledge) since Thurs day last, and that all was sate at half-past ten o'clock on Saturday night.—Leeds CATHOLIC QUESTION. (From an interesting Pamphlet on the subject which we lately noticed.) CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN TIIE T,ATE POPE PIUS VII. AND FERDINAND KING OF NAPLES, ON THE SUBJECT OF AN ACT OF HOMAGE IMPLYING A SENSE (ON THE PART OF FERDINAND) OF 111, HOLINESS'S SUPREMACY. (TRANSLATION.) SlRE,—Notwitbstanding that the silence of your Ma jesty, who never replied to our letter of the 18th of October last, and the open declaration of your ministers had au nounced to us, that, on the anniversary of the Festivity of St. Peter, the presentation of the census and hackney, due to this Holy See, would be withheld, yet we confess to your Majesty, that such a proceeding appeared to us im possible. We cannot forget how warmly we were urged by your Majesty himself, from Palermo, in the letter you caused to be presented to us from yourself, by the Duke of Gravina, to effectuate in that year the said presentation of the sub ,idy and steed. May your Majesty recollect what you wrote to us from that city, and what is more, may you re member the vows you there made to God ! Not because the times of tribulation are changed, can our duties change; rather should we find in the change of the times reasons to be grateful for the mercies of the Lord, and to redouble our zeal in the discharge of our obligations. In the letter alluded to,•we tell your Majesty, with apostolic frankness, that if you should intend to fail in the perform ance of your oaths, we shall not fail in ours. The recollec tion of the pending treaty of ecclesiastical affairs, and the desire of not interrupting its conclusion, which is so im portant to religion, and which so strongly excites our a?ostolie solicitude, furnish us with a notice to tranquil lize our. conscience, and to withhold us this once snore from the execution of what we had already declared to your Majesty. But if, from the above-mentioned con siderations, we abstain from taking any steps, we will not, however, incur the reproach of not having spoken openly to your Majesty. Sire, we are now upon the edge of the tomb ; we tremble at the idea that we must soon appear at the tribunal of that God, before whom also your Ma jesty must one day appear. The non-execution of duties incurred, the violation of oaths, will not be excusable before him for worldly considerations. Upon the bed of death, and by the light of that fatal candle, your Majesty will see with different eyes, that which human interests and the enemies of your real welfare now show you under false colours. Your Majesty cannot think that our in terest makes us speak thus. We shall be neither greater nor less, if the hackney is or is not offered to us. But may your Majesty reflect whether it will one day be equally in different to you, the not having presented it to us. Should our voice, whirls, although unworthy, is still the voice of the Vicar of Jesus Christ, have the misfortune not to find its way now to the heart of your Majesty, you will hear it resound one day at the tribunal of God. May your Ma jesty be convinced that these sentiments, which may per haps displease you, come from the heart of a father who loves you, and who desires your eternal salvation, anti with all the affection of the soul, we remain, giving you the pa ternal apostolic benediction, PIUS P. P. VII. From the Vatican, 28th June, 1816. Naples, 26th July, 1816. To THE Horx FATHER—The letter which your Holi ness vouchsafed to write to me on the 28th of last month, has deeply grieved me, both by the reproach you therein make to me, for not having answered your letter of the 18 th October last year, and by the subject on which you write. First, I will excuse myself from the reproach, and then with the most profound respect, which I shall profess as long as I live, towards the Vicar of Jesus Christ, I will openly discuss with the immortal Pius VII. the subject of the steed ; a right purely political and temporal, which the Church of Rome believes to he founded, and which the King of the Two Sicilies (even putting aside critical and diplomatical disputes,) cannot and ought not to make good, without injuring bis independence, the first and essential right of every sovereignty. With regard to the excuse: your Holiness's letter, re specting the steed, of the 19th October, was delivered to me by the Cardinal Caracciolo; and after having considered it with the most scrupulous-attention, I replied to it on the 21st of November, and I ordered my Minister accredited to your Holiness to deliver my reply into yoar own hands ; and, as your Holiness in that letter had informed me that you had commissioned Cardinal Caracciolo to speak also -upon the presentation of the steed, I ordered my Ple nipotentiaries not to refuse to discuss this subject in the ne gotiations of the Concordat ; and they afterwards informed we that they had debated upon it with your Plenipoten tiaries, uniting this pretension with the inconvenience for the two bordering States, of the possession of Benevento and Pontecorvo ; thus to make it an object of pecuniary indemnification, as treating of a doubtful and disputable right : the only means by which contests have ever been decided between neighbouring, Sovereigns or individuals; on one side to avoid litigation, and on the other the annoyance of bad neighbourhood. My plenipotenti aries even informed me moreover, that your plenipoten tiaries made a metnoramlum in writing of this dis cussion, which was read at the ensuing sitting, and then sent to your Secretary of State, without and• further answer having been made . to it. Your Holiness will perceive, therefore, that I neglected not to answer your' letter, and if amongst your papers, my answer was lost, it is not my fault: In the mean time, that your Holiness may be aware of the terms in which -I wrote my reply, I send you a copy thereof, and also as a justification of an in conceivable neglect towards your Holiness, equally sacred from his character, and venerable froth the' virtues that adorn him. I now come to your Holiness's letter of the 28th ult.-- Your Holiness therein speaks of the•subsidy and steed; of my letters written to you from Palerma,•and delivered by the Duke of Gravina; of the vows I made to God ; of the Oaths taken ; of the non-performance of nay promises.— Your Holiness summons me to the tribunal of God; re !nimbi me of the sacred light which burns by the couch of the dying, to whom God grants the boon of having lived, and of dying in the bosom of the church ; and at last you address to me these holy and memorable words :—" Should our voice which, although unworthy, is still the voice of the Vicar of Jesus Christ, have the misfortune not to find its way now to the heart of your Majesty, you will hear it resonod one day at the Tribunal of God." • - Oa reading these words I was filled with holy awe, and humbling my self before 6.1, I besought him, with the greatest fervour, to enlighten me with a knowledge of my citifies, and above all I desired to recall to my remembrance, if I had made any vow during my residence in Sicily ; and after the most scrupulous examination, I could not find that I had made any, excepting that (which was not a solemn vow) of erect• ing a clmrch to St. Francesco di Paola, as soon as I should have recovered my kingdom of Naples. I never vowed to offer a subsidy and steed, nor could such a vow ever enter into my mind; because, if justice had obliged me to this homage, it could not be matter of a vow ; if, on the other hand, it was not owing, or even, I go further, if there existed any doubt of right as to the offering, I should have failed in my duty had I paid it, as I should thereby have subjected my State and my subjects to the feudal bond; and from thence would have arisen the absurdity, to the detriment of religion, of a person vowing to God to neglect his duty to his own country. If, from momentary hesitation in a well-poised judgment, I had Allen into such an error, I say that not only your Holiness, who is all-powerful in spiritual affairs, but any confessor would have absolved me from it. The tremendous menace of rendering account to God has led me to examine and in vestigate ,the nature and character of the question, aril with the understanding which it has pleased God to give me, I have firmly convinced myself of the soundness. of the following statement, independently of the investigation of ancient writings, which have at all times demonstrated this pretension of the Church of Rome to be void of all legal foundation. There was a time when every thiog in Europe as sumed the feudal forms. The chain of nobles and of vassals had so manv links, that the Kings of France, the Emperor of Germany, the Church itself, on one side rose to the highest link of lords, arid on the other de scended to that of vassals. In fact, feudality was the constitutive principle of political economy ; every coun try, every Stat e , every person, either considered himself as lord or vassal; and sometimes from different possessions, the same state, or the tame person, represented and endured in greater or .less degrees, thetwo:qualities:of lordship and feudal, subjection. This same principle of feudality gave rise to the feuds oblate, a species of voluntary servitude, PRICE 7D. which gnla n a n t d h o Ti s ni e i et times h eChurch, u disciplinee eiamplyrnh tie inherent nnt a tnodtcompensatedhine invariable daorg h i am y bal great eign ad vantages. 0 all'they wise in temporal affairs, constantly conformed to the times and systems of political economy with regard t o h er posses sions and t em p o r a l rights ; hence, while the Roman Empire governed the world, she was in temporal matters a sub ject ; when the Roman Empire was dissolved, she became by just title a political Power. She adopted th e f eu d al system i n h er s t a t es , b e cause every thing was then feudal; her temporal power increased and diminished by treaties and conventions; in short, by taose different means, by which sovereignties rise and fall. It is in consequence of those political and diplomatical conventions that she has ob tained the possession of her states, always subject to those necessary vicissitudes which the general system of the age brings upon governments. In fact, was not the glorious predecessor of your Holi ness obliged, by a solemn treaty, to cede the Legations ? and has not your Holiness regained, with a slight diminu tion, their possession by a political convention which the powers assembled in Congress at Vienna sanctioned, is order to give peace to the world? There is, therefore, no thing invariable, save the dogma, because revealed by God. In temporal affairs the church conforms to the times and to circumstosices. Feudality, Holy Father is over in Europe. Germany, which retained it the nearest to its ancient form ; France, Poland, Italy, the , Low-countries, are no longer fiefs, have no longer vassals. The Emperor of Germany, the King of France, have solemnly abdicated every feudal right ; Italy, full of imperial fiefs, already remembers not their name. Is the kingdom of the Two Sicilies, then, alone to remain a vassal ? Is it, after the treaty of Vienna. the foundation and principle of every existing sovereign possession, to hear speak of homage and a steed; whilst in that treaty no mention is made amongst those possessions in which the Holy See has been reinstated, of the right of lordship over the kingdom of Naples ? Would it not be equally absurd if the King of France were now to pretend to be lord of the country of Flanders, or if the Emperor of Austria should attempt to assume his feudal rights in Ger many and Italy? Holy Father, permit me, with profound and filial re spect, to say that neither the offering of homage, nor of a steed, are subjects for which I can be called to the tribunal of God; a tribunal which I greatly fear on account of ms sins, nor can I hope for pardon excepting in the precious blood of Jesus Christ. Homage and the presentation of a steed are political rights which are acquired and lost by treaties, by conventions, by prescription ; in short, by those means by which dominions are acquired and lost, always under the general law of nations, of whose rights sovereigns are, in the name of God, the sacred depositaries. I shall, therefore, ever be the most obedient son of the Holy See ; I shall listen to its voice with profound submission, whensoever it calls me to my spiritual duties : but in temporal affairs, I shall weigh the rights of the Sovereign of Rome with those principles of independence which are adapted to my king dom. I will add another reflestion. This distinction be tween the Sovereign of Rome and the High Pontiff is so sacred and holy, that I took no umbrage at the Pontiff, when the Secretary of State of the Sovereign of Rome wrote to I3uonaparte, that, if the Papal States were gua ranteed, there would be no difficulty in recognising Joseph Buonaparte King of the Two Sieilies. I repeat it ; the Pontiff was Sovereign of a State, and it was his duty to make every species of sacrifice to save her subjects from the aggression of the enemy, and to maintain them in a state of peace ; and perhaps it may be even granted, that, in a political sense, your Secretary of State acted wisely ; hence if Buonaparte had given the guaranty, your Holinesg, in your character of Vicar of Jesus Christ, would have wept over the political vicissitudes causing my perdition ; but, as Sovereign of Rome, would have sanctioned it, impelled by the irresistible law of force, and the no less sacred ob ligation of preventing bloodshed, and the changing of the government of your subjects. I entreat your Holiness, in the plenitude of Your judg ment, to agree with me in considering whether I can, in conscience, allow the existence, to the injury of my suc cessors, of this touchstone of census, and the offering of Vie hackney, which, supposing that in the course of time, Vte .policy of the Papal States should find itself in critical circumstances, might engender the fatal risk of the loss of their sovereignty. Your Holiness, who, amongst the various qualities that adorn you, so eminently possesses that of justice, will see if I can waver in my firm determitiation, never to consent to the offering of homage and a steed ; whilst I declare my self ready, for the sake of peace, whenever this question shall be amalgamated with that of Benevento and Ponte corvo, to agree to a pecuniary compensation according to the memorandum delivered to you by your Plenipoten tiariee ; the only means of terminating our temporal dis agreement; and allow me to say, means which are in conformity to the principles of the Ecclesiastical laws. I will remind your Holiness, that, according to the canonical principles, not only arc doubtful rights to be dis cussed, but, if useful to the Church, the foundation of them may be set aside. The Holy See has pecuniary obligations, both on the Mont Napoleon and for the in demnisation of Prince Beauharnais ; a certain sum would relieve the Papal Government from the affliction of op pressing its subjects. Benevento and Pontecorvo are of no advantage to your temporal possessions; they are, en the contrary, of the greatest injury to my kingdom : the benefit, therefore, would be mutual. An excellent neigh bourhood would be formed ; both sovereigns would be come, for their reciprocal interests, the most faithful allies, to resist every inimical aggression. Peace would reign amongst our subjects, and the Church would be relieved from a possession useless to her, and extremely injurious to a neighbour, who would look up to your Holiness as the giver of tranquillity to his country. Have 1 deserved, Holy Father, with these holy and pious intentions of submitting the census and the hack ney (since they would be accompanied with the eradica tion of all discord between neighbours) even to a calcula tion of pecuniary compensation ; notwithstanding the last public right fixed by the congress of Vienna ? Have I de served, I repeat it with satisfaction, to be menaced iu the venerated letter of your holiness, with the judgment of God ? Although I am perfectly calm, and have a pure conscience, yet as it must ever cause me heartfelt grief to oppose, in the slightest degree, whatever your Holiness suggests to me, I entreat you, with the most profound and filial respect, to give due consideration to this answer of mine, and to add to the many favours which you daily heap upon me, that of remembering me in your holy prayers, to implore for me, from God, the grace to govern my subjects according to the spirit of his divine word ; and I remain, beseeching the holy apostolic benediction, (Signed) FERDINAND. POOLE.—We are assured that it is under the serious consideration of many of the leading individuals of this town, to erect a new Theatre during the ensuii , g sum mer : this desirable object is to be accomplished by shares. —Dorset Chronicle. A few days since were dug up in an orchard at Kingston Deverill, Wilts, (about two feet from the sur face,) the bones of an adult human body; and as from various circumstances it is thought that they were placed there by murderous hands, considerable interest has been excited by the discovery. The medical gentlemen who have visited the spot, give it as their opinion that, judging from the nature of the soil as well as from the state of the remains, they cannot have been in the earth less than 40 years, which opinion is also considerably strengthened by the circumstance of a brass buckle having been found with the bones, such as old men used at that period to wear affixed to their girdles. It is remarkable that the person who made the discovery was induced to do so by the fre quent repetition of a dream, which had warned his uncle that money was buried in the spot where the bones were found, which spot was particularly marked by a thorn bush growing thereof., —Dorset Chronicle.

" Once more unto de breach—" _ _ SlR—Public feeling being at length roused to a sense of the inconvenienc e and detriment which the proposed establishment of a branch .of the Bank of. England in Newcastle must. inevitably inflict on the commerce and manufactures of this town and neighbourhood, I may Yenture,_ with out being thought tedious or intrusive, :to offer to yourself and your reader, a few . additional reasons why-it becomes us to oppose, by every means is our power, the threatened innovation of the Bank of England on a system of monied operations • which experience has proved-to have been eminently conducive to the advantages of this part of the country. Under the existing system of banking, we have seen that the indus try and enterprise of the people have received the most effectual support and encouragement. Let any man but look at the important concerns in mining, in ship-building, and in manufactures of various descriptions—let any m an b u t. l oo k to the a c ti v i ty of commerce, of navigation, and of the general business of retail, as carried on, or to be observed, within a circuit of 15 miles of Newcastle, and the most complete proof must be afforded to him of the efficacy and advantage and o f o of merely a roe n vl k eyr i ngtgroo. wn establish ment, a s e under the o tpi f loeNsv our eerc al p rne r e du s in e; sa i t tt s on y ne s ea t sg e , m e we must be subjected to an experiment Of banking which may put to hazard the most important interests of the district. Well might the Chamber of Commerce be unani mous in the adoption of a memorial to the direc tors of the Bank of England, setting forth the inexpediency of any interference on the part of the bank, with a system of credit and currency from which so many, and such important ad vantages have been derived. The memorial might have gone further, and shown the posi tive loss to which manufacturers and others, who have large sums to pay for duties or excise, must be necessarily exposed. It is well known that for the remittance of the public money, the bankers are now required to give bills at so very short a date as to make the transation :~;''her losing than profitable. They submit however to draw at such dates. But let a branch bank be established, and we shall see the private bankers one and all declining to draw for the public money. They can no longer have a motive in submitting to any sacrifice of their interests. The branch bank must then draw for the public money, and demanding, as it will, of the other banks either gold or Bank of England paper in. payment of their respective notes, it necessarily tbllows that in effect all payments to the customs and excise will be in gold or in Bank of Eng land notes. I ask, will the private banks not be obliged to charge a small commission on sums advanced for such purpoSes ? How otherwise are they to be compensated for large advances in gold or Bank of England notes—a description of currency which they can only procure from London, subject to both expellee and risk ? Let our merchants and manufacturers who are in the habit of paying large sums to the public boards look to this ; let them consider what even a very small commission on the amount of monies ad vanced them for such payments its the course of a year may amount to ; and then say whether the introduction of a branch of the Bank of England here is likely to be attended with an augmentation of their profits But here may some friend of the branch bank intimate, that gold or Bank of England note will be obtainable at the branch bank without any charge in the shape of commission. I ad mit the fact. But what must be the securities on which the tied up and timorous agrnts of the bank will consider themselves justified in giving out gold or Bank of' England netes Bills which, however good they may he, must be sent in by persons previously approved of by the Bank Directors, and which in no case will be taken with less than two responsible games to them. Now I, who am a manufactaer, and subject to the excise—who have my customers in London or some other distant part of the kingdom, and can only receive p4ment in bills which I must draw upon them—am reduced, as often as I have money to pay to the excise, to a strait of this kind. I must either beforehand send my bills for acceptance, and thus subject myself both to expense and inconvenience, or• I' must submit to the payment of that commission which the Newcastle bankers, in discounting for payments to the excise, find it necessary to im pose. Whether, therefore, in flame, I apply to a Newcastle banker or to the branch bank for discounts to meet such part of try payments, it is quite clear that, from the conflicting interests of the rival establishments, I must be a sutferer. Manufacturers, ye who have large sums to pay to the crown, look to yourselves ! The projected branch will not however be more injurious to a large class of our manufac turers, than to the great body of the coal-owners, and therefore I should say it equally behoves the coal-owners to take into consideration the best means of averting a measure so generally ob noxious. Let the Bank of England but once obtain a footing here, and the coal-owners need trouble themselves no further about any regula tion of their vends. Coals must be raised, or the concerns must be laid in. There is no such thing as going " on tick" with the Bank of Eng land ; and the resources of the private bankers will be found to have their limits. My firm of the Bank of England in Newcastle will be a conviction is, that the establishment of bran c h death-blow to the coal trade of this district. It requires no conjuror to point o ut " the why and wherefore." But I leave the c oal - owners them these hints. Apathy must be their ruin. selves tofollo w out The Directors tt t heir . a i b e iory above object usslgn i l i ' s g either profit any m . for the proposed establ ishment.

If profit to the bank--I think it must be evident to all that the experim en t w ill en d i n disappoint ment ; the expe llees of the establishment must e at up every s hilli ng of profit. If public ac commodation is the object—then I say that the .ear of the Directors has been on abused. They mu s t h ave h a d impressed upcin their minds an idea that the established banks are insufficient for the support and extension of our commerce ; exists. Who the worthy parties are who (have idea f or w hi c h ROt the slightest foundation had so much influence with the hank, we may by and by know ; but in the meanwhile no per son I think can doubt that the measure in ques tion savours strongly of a job. Job, do I say ? Why even the fitting up of the hank premises must be a job, or why send workmen from Lon don for the purpose ? Have we not in New castle, bricklayers, joiners, and other handicrafts, capable of converting a few rooms and cellars of a house to the purposes of a bank ? But the yen- pens and ink, I understand,.. will :be sent
