Nov.4.—Yesterday,at half-past 7,Espartero arrived here from Tolosa, accompanied by Linage, his Secretary, and the Ministers of War and the Interior. At the outer gate he was received by some of the authorities and a detachment of the National Guard, each man of which. bore a lighted taper. The effect may be imagined ; masses of light and shade fell on the group, and formed a tableau vivant which Rembrant might have sketched ; s t k behind rose the citadel, lofty, dark, and massive, against the starry anon n oann started a rted below,il ightnto white a s saluting guns gleamed fitfully on their walls ; the very booming of the sea beneath harmonis e d with the wihl the tiash o o t t . . the the town ever aid y . picturesqueness of the scene; At the outer barrier the old-fashioned carriage of the Regent, drawn by five lanky, backshaven mules, stopped, while the deputation spoke a moment with him ; a crowd of eager, gazing, peasants, citizens, women, and fishermen, pressed round, and the dark Castilian countenance of Espartero, looking anxiously from the window, gave a finishing historic touch to the picture. This advent of the Regent, with out any of the pomp and circumstance of war, was duly appreciated by the inhabitants of San Sebastian, and this morning the house in which he passed the night was surrounded by hundreds of people, anxiously watching for him. At noon I had the pleasure of being presented to this fortunate general. My reception was not only polite, it was unaffectedly kind. ; and in a few pithy Cas tillian sentences he expressed his regard for the English. I think he spoke sincerely, though I could not help thinking . of Talleyrand's. definition of " words given to man to conceal his thoughts." But, to say the truth, during the interview, my eyes were more employed than my ears. The expression of his face pleased me ; -it is good looking, though somewhat worn by care and physical suffering. His forehead is rather high, and slightly protrudes over a pair of black eyes, which, whilst he spoke, beamed with vivacity and intel ligence ; round their corners serpentined to the very temples a maize of deep wrinkles ; his nose is straight and handsome, mouth well formed, but restless, and his general bearing and voice extremely gentlemanly. I should think his height to be about the same as our own great Duke of Victory. In a balcony of the ante. room I saw Linage ; lie has the reputation of being remark ably clever ; in person and features he is, heavy, almost fat ; by the bye, on one occasion he sold Espartero a sad bargain : during the war the General ordered him, as military secretary, to draw up a proclamation ; this Linage did by translating, verbatum, one of Napoleon's most thundering speeches. In a day or two this belli cose plagiarism was discovered, and Espartero got quizzed most unmercifully. The French authorities of the present day never seem happy unless they are making themselves ridiculous, or different from other people ; for instance, this morning the consular flag was not displayed, though those of every other Government with which Spain has political in tercourse waved in the breeze : this apparently trifling incident has been bitterly commented on by the Spaniards. How imprudent, almost disgusting, parti cularly at the present state of affairs, thus to wound the b feelincrs of a people proverbial for pride and sensitiveness. At three the Regent, attended by a numerous suite, pro ceeded to the Town Hall in the Plaza de la Constitucion the streets through . which he passed were hung with in• numerable draperies ; damasks and silks flaunted their vanities in the bright sun by the side of substantial coun terpanes, snowy sheets, and modest table cloths, and when Espartero appeared at the balcony lie was received by a good wholesome shout from the multitude. He waived his hand to the different balconies, the ladies replied with fans and kerchiefs, the peasants threw in the air their red anagorras, and the National Guard again viva'd. Never before did I see Spaniards give way to such an abandon of feeling. After this display of mutual regard the grand business of the day commenced. In the centre of the Plaza was erected a stage, about three feet from the ground, and destined for the exhibition of a pageant, peculiar, I believe, to this province ; it is called a corn pat sa, and is really one of the most elegant things I ever saw. At a quarter-past three a troop of about forty lads and Classes entered the square, preceded by an ancient shepherd and a capital band. The girls wore red boddices, white petticoats, and Swiss hats, and each couple or trio bore between them large shallow boxes, so ingeniously constructed, that they exactly resembled the parterres of a flourishing flower garden, for on their arti ficial surfaces bloomed every description of flower. De positing these on the ground, they ascended the platform and commenced a national dance, whose mazy figure was well suited to the wildly oriental music and the charming refrains sung by the figurantes ; anon as they sang and danced a fairy temple began to appear about the stage, and then a number of gaily bedizened pigeons suddenly flew from it ; the keys of San Sebastian, carried on a silver salver, were carried up to the Regent by two young girls ; after having the complimentary address, Espartero turned towards the Plaza, waived his hand, and the Colonel of the National Guard, stepping before his men, cried out, " Viva Ysabela 11., y la Constitu tion ;" then rose from all sides a great shout, and Es partero soon afterwards retired. At four o'clock, r.ai., he left San Sebastian for Tolosa. To-morrow he goes to Pampeluna, after that to Sarragosa, and then, I am told to Madrid. What a pity it is that our Government have not had a small ship of war at Passages during the late events. Ido not mean to protect British interests or subjects, thank Heaven ! that is unnecessary here, but the French Government always have a ship of war here, and we ought to act upon this general principle, that where the French hare a naval force, however small, we ought to confront it in all ways with another. one rai onc IIUTCH MAIL. THE HAGUE. Nov. 10.—The St. Petersbugh - papers, of the 29th of October, contain a report which, in the absence of all direct accounts of the state of affairs in Circassia, show, however, that the war in that country has been carried on this year with great vigour. His Majesty the Emperor, in consequence of a report of the Commander-in-Chief on the coast of the Black Sea, has given a golden cross to be worn with the ribbon of the Order of St. George, to the Rev. M. Augustyn, Minister of the Fort of Jenginsk, who, while the fort was block aded, and violently attacked from the 9th to the 18th of April by the Circassians, remained, and, standing with a crucifix in his band, encouraged the soldiers by tins example. An account from Berlin of the 30th of October, com municated by the Swabian Mercury, says that the second part of the poems of the well-known llellinann Feller main had been prohibited on account of the dangerous tendency of some of the poems. At the same time legal proceedings had been commenced against the poet, and it was not lmlikely that he would be deprived of the office of Professor, as was the case of M. Raver, Pro fessor at Prann. The latter was suspended from his office on account of his work on the Gospel, and the question was submitted to all the faculties of theology in Prussia, where clergymen of such principles as Baur should be tolerated in a Prussian University.—Dutch I Paper, Nov. 10. _ _ _ _ liitutiswicK, Nov. 2.—The Assembly of the Stxt, a met yesterday ; but the preparatory measures for our accession to the Customs Union were not advanced far enough to be communicated in their whole extent, so the Assembly broke up without doing anything, and fixed the 15th for another meeting : An unexpected hindrance seems, however, likely to our accession. Hanover has declared itself willing to join the Gemlan Customs on the Ist of January, 1843. It wishes that part of the territory of Brunswick may remain in the Hanoverian Union, and, on the other hand, the Halm verian Haiz immediately to join the German Customs Union. Many Members of the Estates arc of opinion that, under these circumstances, it will be better to wait another year.—Humburgh Borsenhalle, Nov. 6. THE ARMENIANS. A private letter from Constantinople, of tl:e 6th, gives the following account of a serious difference be tween the Porte and its Armenian, subjects :—lt ap pears that the temporal and spiritual interests of the people, who amount, it is said, in the Turkish tiortii nions, to 100,000, have been, until hitherto, und-r tit, government of chiefs called &refs. Tbesc Santis Itzti,e generally, on account of the influence of money as to election, been bankers, and most of them have bcca in collision with the Turkish Ministers to rob tha Armenians, and divide the spoil. The corrup tion and exactions of these chiefs having at length reached such a height as to threaten a genera! tumult on the part of the Armenians, smile _ of the notables petitioned the Government for relief, and Reschid Pacha, who was then Prime Minister, listened to their prayer and granted them a firman or charter, under which they deposed their Sarafs, and ap pointed twenty four Commissioners in their stead. These Commissioners having discovered that the Patri arch was not worthy of the high post held by him, op pointed another, and for a time tranquillity was restored ; but the Sarafs, having intrigued with the Government to get restored to office, and made common cause with the deposed Patriarch, and Reschid Paella being no longer at the head of affairs, the charter was withdraw,., and the Sarafs and the former Patriarch were restored. In this state of things the Armenians sent petition upon petition to the Sultan without obtaining redress, and at length, watching their oppottunity when he went into public, placed -a petition in his own hands. The Sultan promised that justice should be done to them ; but his benevolent views were thwarted by Rifat Bey, and all the Commissioners were arrested. A rich and influential Armenian named Iskender now took up the cause of his co-religionists, and forcing his way to the Council of Ministers, called upon them to do justice to the Armenians. His earnestraez,s so much offended Rifat Bay, that, notwithstanding the high degree of respect inspired by the character of Iskender, not only amongst the Armenians, but also amongst the Turks, he gave orders for his im mediate arrest. The Armenian people, now ren dered at orce desperate and furious, were on the point of breaking into open rebellion, when the Ministers attempted a compromise, promising to re lease Iskender and the Commissioners, if the Arme nians would acknowledge the authority of the Sand's. This they indignantly refused to do ; and an explosion being imminent, the Ministers released the persons whom they had arrested, and restored the charter. On however,i,tolliceovtoerhyandexbteeduaym, 0 such f th e s T r . r u lt k i i ! , e i - i Ministers would prevent rebellion, they • exiled . eight of the Commissioners. The Armenians immediately hell is made as h a e n o d pi w ni l o 'e n n an d appointed a deputation o f 120 coura g eous an e d et for justice. The Sultan _gave them an audience, and ap minilmen to proceed to the palace and raise a c r y able ap peared disposed to do justice, but Rifat Bey, who was prese nt, persuaded him that the deputation was composed of rebellious and turbulent men, and obtained his cons( at to ta king the affair into his own hands. The deputa tion were then dismissed from the p r esence of the Sul tan, nod were desired to proceed to the residence of Rifat Bey, where he and o th er Mi n i s t ers abused tlrern with great violence, and g a v e or d ers f o r placing about forty of them in irons ; a decree of banishment was pronounced against eleve n o th ers , an d threats were held out that ail persons who should dare in future to become the organs of the complaints of the Armenians should be treated with even greater rigour.

It obviously becomes easy for a person of very moderate income to secure, by this arrangement, a provision for his family ; and should he at any time after effecting the insurance succeed to, or acquire, a fortune, he may relinquish his policy, having only paid one half the premiums for the first five years, instead of the whole, as in all other Companies. Thus a man of 25 years old may, by an annual payment of 28/. 16s. 3d. for the first five years, and afterwards the full premium, 571. 12s. 6d. yearly, secure to his widow and children at his death payment of no less than 3,000/., sub ject only . to the deduction of 144/.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many disease 3, which arise from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tapes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits - practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the ds astrous consequences which are sure *to follow from them if not relinquished.

THE PARISH CLERK, EDITED BY THEO DORE HOOK, EsQ.—This merry production of the hu niorous " Peter Priggins" opens with a description of an interview with the late eccentric Mr. Abernethy, which, though irresistibly comic, bears upon the face of it the impress of truth. The tales in these volumes are the result of the aut'lor's acquaintance with a very funny individual—Davy Diggs, the " Parish Clerk" of an obscure village on the coast of Sussex—a species of the genus Caleb Quotem. In the first tale, " The T w in Squires," the reader will find Peter Priggins at home in Oxford, and, if he be an Oxford man, will not fail, we think, to recognise more than one character most ludicrously depicted therein. " The Lieutenant's Tale" is possessed of so much dramatic interest, that it is impossible to lay down the book till it is finished, The scenes in the stores of the .111.11 at Tide-end, re minded us of many passages in " Guy Mannering." The • third tale, " The Treasure-finder," is a strange mixture o f t h e a n,ve and gay, quite after the fashion of tho mented editor, THE CORN-LAWS. In accordance with the intention expressed in our last, we now proceed to point out some instances w hore trades and classe s h ave been grievously injured by the Oh ect operation of the Corn-law. It would be difficult, if not impossible, to select any trade, or any class of men, whose means bare not been curtailed by the operation of this law ; but we hare in our eye at this moment two cases in which the facts are so well withenticatA, that we prefer confining ourselves to them for the present. It is well known to most of our readers that the parish of Rochdale is noted for its extent in mar:eh:a ttire of flannels, and the farmers in the neighbourhood have, we doubt net, sent a large portion of their wools to that quarter. Up to the year 1823 the manufactu rers of Rochdale found a market, and a constantly in creasing demand for their goods in the United Staters of America ; and it is supposed that at least one-third of their whole manufacture was exported to that country. At this time there was regular and full employment for workmen, and the weavers had their looms and other machinery in their own houses, and carried on their occupation surrounded and asssisted by the various members of their families. It is probable that no part of the country possessed a population more industrious and more comfortable, and want was rarely known in the dwellings of the sober and the provident. The Anadthan Government, urged on by American manufacturers, and by the farmers of the north, who were irritated at the tefusal of Great Britain to receive their produce in exchange for the vast amount of goods they purchased from us, passed the Act which is known by the name of the American Tariff; they laid very heavy duties on English goods, particularly on flannels, avowedly to retaliate upon us for our own restrictive policy. The Eoglish Minister, then at Washington, wrote home to his Government, to say, that the Tariff could not pass if our Corn-laws did not exist, and that the English Corn-law was the origin of the Ame rican high duties, What was the effect of this Tariff upon English manufacturts, andeupon the town and parish we have mentioned above ? The duties on the common qualities of flannels were so high as to be almost prohibitory, and the demand immediately fell off, and the large and regular and profitable commerce which the people of Rochdale carried on with tl:e pee• pie of the United States, was destroyed at a blow. Up to this time the flannel weaver bad been able to earn, with moderate labour, from 18s. to 255. per week, working in his own house, and comparatively inde pendent, and more as an employer than one of the employed. %I hen the American Tariff passed, instead of one-third of the goods made in Rochdale being sent to the States, probably not more than one-twentieth were transmitted, and the whole trade felt the shock. A diminished demand for goods caused the demand for labour to fall off, and when the labourers became too many for the work to be done, as a natural and irre sistible consequence, wages began to fall, and in a very short time the man who had earned from 18s. to 255. per week with moderate labour, was only able to ob. tein 165., then 145., then 12c. ; anti at this moment his wages vary from Bs. to 12s. per week, with much longer hours of labour, and with a far less certain and regular employment. Another bad effect was produced :—the competition amongst so many manufacturers with a decaying trade, brought profits down almost, and often quite, to nothing ; and the manufacturers were compelled to seek new means of producing more cheaply ; they erected mils and filled them with machinery, and the weavers who had hitherto worked at their own homes were compelled, by the pressure of stern necessity, acting upon employers and employed, to go into the mills, and their tvives and daughters also were obliged to go for a livelihood to the less agreeable, and in many respects less favourable, description of employment offered to them in mills. There is a class amongst our aristocracy and legisla tors, of whom Lord Ashley may be taken as a type, whose sympathies are keenly alive to the moral and physical evils which arise from numbers of operatives being assembled in large wnrkships and mills, and who are ever disposed to vilify the employers, and to spend their superfluous and spurious humanity on the em ployed. We can tell these men that the Corn-law, the Bread-tax, which they support, is the engine by which women and children are driven to the mills, and by which they are made to work long hours to purchase a supply of daily bread. The American Tariff is the direct and legitimate off spring of the inhuman and suicidal Corn-law, and the destruction of the flannel trade by the operation of that Tariff has made it needful to rear mills and to invent machinery, and it has torn hundreds of men, and their wives, and their sons and daughters too, from the homes in which they worked, and has forced them into the vast buildings which those who employ them were obliged to build, and in which they labour for a longer period each week, and for a smaller amount of wages, than they ever knew before the evil genius of monopoly hail ground them to the earth I But we have not told all the sad history of this single instance of Corn-law oppression. When wages were reduced as the demand for goods fell off, the workmen vainly thought their employers might, if they chose, arrest their fall ; they formed a Trades' Union, subscribed funds, and when any attempt was made to reduce wages, they turned out and struck work ; they did more—they became a furious mob, furious at the prospect of lower wages and diminished comforts ; they marched through the town, forced all their felow workmen to cease from work, they took the shuttles from the looms to prevent their working ; they broke into mills, and threw the machinery out of the win dows, and destroyed it. Some of the leaders wore arrested and sent to gaol ; an attempt to rescue them was threatened, the crowd attacked the military who guarded the prison, with :tones and brick-bats, the soldiers fired, and same seven or eight human beings were hurried into eternity, and others by the slower process of offended law, were exiled for ever from the land which refused to feed them. But, notwithstanding all this train of evils, and this sad catastrophe, work was not more plentiful, and wages did not rise ; the Corn-law still disgraced our code, and the American Tariff still refused to admit the flannels made by English industry ; manufacturers continued embarrassed for want of markets, labourers were far too numerous for the work to be done, wages drooped and drooped, the busy shuttle was more rarely heard in hundreds of cottages, whilst in many others it did not cease its ill requited labour till near mid night ; men, women, and children who, as happy families, had worked together at home, were found assembled in crowds at the mills, and uncertain em ployment, and lessened income, were working a fearful and lamentable change in the moral and physical condi tion of the inhabitants of a large and populous district. All this is but a type of what may be written of many other towns and parishes. The Lords of Dear Bread may thrive for a time on the ill-gotten gain of the Corn-law ; but as a poisoned garment will it cleave to them, and the curse of He even must rest upon the wealth and the rental whose increase is born of wrong, and nourished by the stvsat and fanned by the sighs of the oppressed children of toil ! We may say with the People's Poet, •' Bread-tax'd Weaver, all may see What that tax bath done for thee, And thy children, vilely led, Singing hymns for shatne'ul bread, Till the stones of every sheet Know their I:ttle naked feet." —Leamington Chronicle.

ITERALD.—A meeting is reported in recent Dublin papers as having been held in that city for the purpose of establishing a new Joint-stock Bank, to be styled the " London and Dublin Bank," with a capital of one mil lion, and power of increase. From the prospectus laid before the meeting, it appears that this is not to be a bank of issue, a provision calculated to diminish the chance of runs on occasions of sudden panic. The only other notable feature about this banking project is the curiou, , iconcit of turning tectotalling societies to ac count as a leading element of banking SUCCObS ; for, it is gravely observed in the prospectus, " the beneficial in fluence of the temperance societies in promot:ug order and industry, render this a peculiarly Np•dient time for the establishment of such a bani." Ii it were deemed politic to set a trap to catch di, disciples of Father Ale thew, it would surely haee been as well to bait it with the sign of the temperance bank. Lord Mountcashel, who presided, made 60;11(.. iudkicus observations on the deficiency of banking capital in Ire land, as compared with population, territorial extent, and business facilities. By banking capital, solid money capital is of course to be understood ; for if capital were to be represented by bank issues of a credit circulation, it is quite clear from past experience that there need be, would be, no more stint or want of that sort of capital in Ireland than there is now and has been in the United States. There can be no question that Ireland is now, in despite of the furious agitation of Mr. O'Connell, in that state of industrial and agricultural proeression, which, as it calls for the extensive employment of more capital, so does it afford the best security for its invest ment. From the number and respectability of the par ties attending and taking an active part in this meeting it may be hoped, and would seem tolerably certain in deed, that the project will be carried into effect without much delay. CIIRONICLE.—We regret to find in the columns of a paper so well informed and respectable as the Cour rier Francais, very illiberal views regarding the financial embarrassments of this country. After alluding to the loan which the Bank of England received from the . Bank of France in 1839, and observing that some people, even then, from a species of intuitive distrust, were of opinion that the accommodation should- have been re fused, the Courrier Francais states that its conductors • did not then participate in that opinion, because they saw that the failure of the Bank of England would bring about a great European disaster, and they deemed it the duty of France to be generous. The Courrier Francais thinks, however, that the Bank of England must soon be compelled to apply to the Bank of France fur aid a second time. They mention truly ' that it has been found necessary to import two mil- lions of quarters of foreign corn, in consequence a the bad harvest ; and that it may be necessary to im• -tort two or three millions of quarters more, to make up the deficiency before the next harvest is reaped. The price of this corn from Poland and the Crimea the Courrier Francais says must be paid for with specie from the Bank, and that the drain which will thus at tack the gold in her coffers will render it necessary for the Directors to apply to France for support. The Courrier Francais conjures the French Minister and Go vernment now to refuse their aid if asked for, because of the " violent pride" of Englishmen and the quad ruple treaty for the settlement of Syria. This is really very pettish and very paltry. The Courrier Francais mistakes the feeling of Englishmen most thoroughly. We are quite sure that if the specie in the Bank of France were taken off to pay for food to the inhabitants of that country, the friendly aid of the Bank of England would be cheerfully given, and that every newspaper in Great Britain would ap plaud the action. It is true that we have cautioned our countrymen against embarking their capital in foreign loans at present, but that caution we have given chiefly on account of the low state of the gold in the coffers of the Bank, and the anticipation that further supplies of foreign corn will be required in the spring. That is the only reason which has induced us to recommend our readers "to button their pockets, to shut their purses, and to keep their specie from France and M. Humann." We should be glad to see the 150,000,000 loan of that Minister, or part of it, applied to the execution of rail roads, and other w orks of internal improvement alluded to by the Courrier Francais. When that is done, much of the present distrust which English capitalists enter tain towards the scrip of the French loan may probably disappear. SUN.—There is no perceptible alteration in the Funds, but prices would not require any great impulse to urge them upwards. The brokers, however, complain sadly of the dulness of speculation, but in this the public at large cannot have much sympathy. Consols for imme diate transfer realised 89k to 891, and for Account t49i to 894, closing, however, at 89 to 89k, and for Money 89-k to for the 25th inst. Money is easy still with the jobbers. Exchequer Bills were 10s. to 13s. prem., being a slight advance on yesterday's rates. East India Bonds were at par to 3s. prem. Bank Stock was not quite so firm, being 164 to 165, hut India Stock remained at 246 to 247. The New Three-and-tt-half per Cents. were at 991 to The Foreign Market still remains without any feature worthy of particular comment. Spanish Active Bonds were done at 211; Portuguese New Five per Cents. at 293, and the Three per Cents. at 18k. Belgian Stock was rather dull at 100, 4 to 100:1; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were at 51,1-, ; Brazilian Stock improved a little, being at 57k ; and Chili= continued at 71. The Railway Shares were not brisk. Great Western were 15; the New, 71; the London and Birmingham, 67; the New, 23 ; the York and North Midland, 331; and the South Western, 14k premium. Brighton were 131 to 13 ; South Eastern and Dover, 23; and Birming ham and Derby, 52 discount. London Joint-stock Bank Shares were 2k premium. MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS.
