FIRST-RATE CLOTHING.—By first-rate is understood that high gentlemanly character of CLOTH ING, to ob!ain which it has hitherto been found necessary to pay extravagantly high prices, but is now well known can be obtained from the Panteehnetheca Tailoring and Outfitting Establishment, 36, GRACECHURCH-STREET, CITY, L.

The largest and most splendid in the world at the under-mentioned charges, warranted equal in every respect, as regards quality, style, and fashion, to any emanating from the most fashionable houses at the West-end, where those who pay prompt are obliged to suffer for persons who take unlimited credit. The Proprietor having six very extensive establishments, advantageously situated in the principal manufacturing towns in the kingdom, and having capital at corn- mand, he is enabled to take every advantage of the fluctuations of the markets, independently of which he is a manufacturer of a great part of his stock. His enormous consumption enables him to buy immense quantities of goods of very first-rate quality for cash, considerably below their real value; and as he pursues but one system in selling, charging a uniform per centage, the lowest ever offered to the public : the result is that those who honour him with their confidence and commands will receive the full benefit of his capital and experience. An immense quantity of goods always on hand, suitable for immediate use, made in first rate style and fashion, and at really astonishing prices. The Proprietor particularly invites attention to his immense stock of waistcoats, the newest, and richest designs are always kept on band, ready made, splendidly cut, and manufactured in the best possible manner : and he can say, without exception, that he it the largest maker in the kingdom, 1,000 Waistcoats being manufactured daily for his various Establishments.

LONGMAN, OF PATERNOSTER.RoW: It is With much grief we have to announce the de cease, 'at an early hour yesterday, at his residence at Hampstead, of Thomas Norton Longman, Esq., the eminent bibliopolist, of Paternoster-row. This melancholy event arose from his horse having fallen with him on Wednesday last, by which accident the unfortunate gentleman was precipitated to the ground with such severity, as to occasion considerable injury to the spine, from which he never recovered. Mr. Longman was as much distinguished by his amiable and unassuming qualities in private life, as by the extent and integrity of his commercial dealings. He was in his 72d year. HOURS' RIDE.

Yesterday morning, about eleven o'clock, an infu riated ox broke away from its drovers in Smithfield, and ran at full speed down Holborn, tossing several persons in its way, until it ca me t o th e top of Drury lane, down which it turned and ran into Little Rus sell-street, where all efforts to get it to move one way or the other failed. It cleared the streets in a twink ling, and all the shopkeepers tried to put up their shut ters as speedily as possible, in doing which they in curred some danger, the animal having run at them se veral times. A drayman, with a team of three horses, being more foolhardy than others, mounted the leading horse, and proceeded down the street, when the ox ran at him, dismounted him, and severely gored the horse. The next who suffered was a drover, who thought to throw a rope over the animal's head, when he caught him upon his horns and pitched him several feet into the air, caught him coming down, and again pitched him heels over head upon the pavement. By a miracle the man escaped without any fatal injury, and was removed to the King's College Hospital. After running through Clare Market—were it not for the loss suffered by the poor women having stand. ings there, the sight might be called ludicrous. He proceeded into Fleet-street, through Bell-yard, where he knocked down several persons, one of whom, a girl six years of age, was said to have been seriously in jured, and owing to the narrowness of the passage de stroyed several windows on each side. He was at length secured opposite St. Dunstan's Church, after the thoroughfare had been blocked up for half an hour with omnibuses and cabs, none of which dared to come within several hundred yards of where the furious animal stood. No person was seriously in jured, save the child in Bell-yard, but a valuable horse was so dreadfully gored that it Was found neces sary to kill it. QUEEN'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND.—Great preparations are making for the reception of her Majesty in the North. We understand instructions have been received by Mr. Benjamin Edgington, 2, Duke-street, Southwark, to dispatch _Royal Standards to Granton Pier and Dal keith Palace ; to Scone Palace, where the Kings of Scotland were formerly crowned, and. to Drummond Castle he has sent some elegant awnings.

H e a li vays enjoyed good health, and worked in the field until just before his death. GERMAN RAILWAYS.—The following are thelengths of some of the German lines :--Magd,burg to Berlin, 123 miles ; Magdeburg, Halle, and Leipsic, 72 3, has a branc:l to Coethen ; Berlin and Potsdam, 19 ; Berlin and Stettin, open 274, total length 80 Iride s ; Hamburgh and Bergedorf, 9 ; Dusseldorf and Elber‘'eld, 20 ; Aix la-Chapelle and Cologne, 50 ; Breslau and Oppeln ; Mannheim and Heidelberg, 15 ; Brunswick and Halber stadt, 311, The fete at 13erny, which is only one stage from Paris, was saddened on Monday by a lamentable acci dent. A . diligence drove up to the post house, and, having changed horses, the driver mounted his box, and, in his ea&ern,,ss to start again, set his horses off at full gallop before he fastened the apron in front. By a sullen jerk he was thrown down, the wheels passed over his head, and crushed it so severely that he died instan taneously. An account from Korb, in Wurtemberg, in the Swabian Mercury, states that, on account of want of food for their cattle, the farmers of that country are obliged to sell them at a great reduction, accepting 30 and even 25 florins for a beast which three months ago they had purchaSed at 70 or 80 florins. The oldest man of the country cannot recollect a time when there was so com plete atlearth of oats, barley, potatoes, and forage of all kinds. AMERICAN NEWS. ARRIVAL OF THE COiIUMBIA. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY. We have received to-day, by the fine British and North American mail-steamer Columbia, commanded by Captain Judkins, Boston papers to the 16th inst., her day of sailing, and New York and Philadelphia to the 15th inclusive. The Columbia has made an excellent voyage of 9 daysl6 hours only from Boston, and 11 days 14 hours from Halifax. She has brought 26 passengers, a smaller number than usual. The ratification of the Treaty on the Boundary Line has not been brought by this steamer as was expected; it was under deliberation, and no doubt existed that it would be completeu in two or three days. Lord Ashburton was expected in New York on the 17th, where a fete was in preparation for him by the British residents, conjointly with the Ameri can citizens and corporate authorities. He will after wards, it is said, go to Niagara Falls, visit Sir C. and Lady Bagot, and return to New York to embark in the Warspite. The following extracts from the papers will give you all the news of interest by this arrival : FA SHIONABE MOVEMENTS. Lord Morpeth is away out on Lake Superior, fish , ing, shooting, sleeping with the Ind►ans in their wig wams, writing poetry to the pretty rquaws, and pass ing his time very pleasantly. Mr. Clay, when last heard from, was walking stately and piously up the broad aisle of one of the beautiffil churches in Lexington, to hear Dr. Campbell preach. Mr. Van Buren is as busy as a bee in a tar barrel cutting his cabbages, and cutting o•it plans for dis tricting the State, so that the locofocos will have nearly all the members of Congress. President Tyler will shortly coin, North to recruit his health, by enjoying the sea breeres of Newport. Mr. Webster, Secretary of State, has gone to Piny Point, to enjoy the luxury of salt eater bathing, and feasting on soft crabs and oysters, and the charms of the beautiful girls there. He returns to Washington to-day, to resume his duties at the State Department., receive the treaty ratified from the Senate, communi cate the same to Lord Ashburton, and then take leave of him till he sees him at the fete in New York. The Secretary of the Treasury is at Bedford Springs, for the recovery of his health. Lord John flay is enjoying himself on shore here and delighting all who have the pleasure of his ac quaintance. Horsley Palmer is still at New Brighton. M. de Bodisco, the Russian Minister, we believe has gone, or i s go i ng t o Rockaway-, with his lady. At Saratoga there are 3,000 visitors • among them, many British officers ; beauties fro m all parts of the Union, and many of our most distinvnished men. ELoQuENcE.--The following sublime peroration was recently delivered before a court of justice in the interior of Pennsylvania :—" Your honors sets high upon the adornable seat of justice, like the American eagle perched upon the Asiatic rack of Gibraltar, while the eternal streams of justice, like the cadaverous clods of the valley, flow meandering :It your feet." FROM NEW ORLEANS.—We ha .e New Orleans papers of the 6th. The Picayune announces the ar rival, on the ,sth, of the new British Consul to Texas, Capt. Elliot, of Chinese notoriety.

As yet the receipts of produce are light, but are on the increase, and will, doubtless, swell to an enormous extent when the harvests are over. ASIIES.—Fair sales pots at 5,50 ; pearl 5,75 a 5,871.

The condition of the cotton market has varied but very little since our last notice. Thew southern mar kets are very heavy, and prices generally tend down ward. In this market, during the early part of the week, a fine business was done for export; but the business fell off towards the close, summing up as follows :-2,050 bales Upland and Florida, at 6 a 81 cents ; 1,050 bales Mobile, 61 a 91 ; 350 bales New Orleans, 6 a 91; 350 bales Texas, 7 aB. Total, 3,800 bales. The state of the currency at the south will, of course, influence prices of the new crop. The New Orleans Banks will probably cease doing business, with the exception of the Bank of Louisiana. They are now mostly in the hands of the Attorney-Gene ral. The Alabama Banks are making efforts to sus tain the credit of their paper, but it has become too low to be made available for the cott m crop, in the face of thei?lcie prices of New Orleans. The anti cipations of al arge crop continue unchanged. WEST INDIA MAILS. FALMOUTH, AUG. 27.—We have to announce the arrival of the Royal mail steamer Trent, at nine o'clock this morning, having left Havannah the Ist, Nassau the 3d, Bermuda the 10th, and Fayal the 20th inst., bringing nine passengers and two servants, and 96,000 dollars, 91 serons of cochineal, and 14 serons of indigo, on freight. We cannot learn that she brings thi least interest ing news. The Royal mail steamer Forth brought up the Mexican mails to the Havannah, dated from Vera Cruz July 12, and Belize July 17. The Royal mail steamer Tay brought the Jamaica • mails (up to the 23d of July) to Turk's Island, and they were transhipped to the Dee, which vessel took them on to Nassau. The Royal mail steamer Clyde went on sh ore on Pelican Po - int, Nevis, the 19th of Juiy, and after re maining there several hours was got off, but with loss of the fore-foot and other damage. The Trent, after coaling, proceeded at four P.M. to Southampton. She brings intelligence that sickness was prevailing to a very considerable extent at Havannah among the shipping, and many vessels were in consequence quite destitute of crews. The fever had not been so rife for many years. DUBLIN POLICE. Some of the usual results of "Donnybrook Fair" disclosed themselves at College-street POlice-office, no less than eighty-eight prisoners having been brought before the sitting Magistrate, Mr. Hitchcock. The following case, amongst a host of others, arising from the like source, was brought forward : Police-constable Kennedy, of the B division, charged a man named Thomas Smith, with having been drunk and disorderly at the fair on the night previous._ The prisoner was a man of monstrous dimensions, whose gigantic person filled the whole dock. Mr. Ihrcucocx. What have you to say for yourself? Prisoner (drawing a huge fist over his brow) — Little, very little. I have a confused recollection of having been at some fair or other, of having kissed some girl or other, of having drunk some liquor or other, and of having been trailed through the mud to the station-house by some policeman or other.-- (Laughter.) There is all I know about it, and don't care twopence if you fine me. Mr. HlTCucocK—lt must have taken a good deal of liquor to have made you drunk. Prisoner—Well, I don't doubt but it did. I have a glimmering recollection of having drunk the better part of a quarter cask of XX.—Fined 2s. 6d. EASTERN NEWS. FRENCH POLITICAL AGENTS. The following extracts from a letter, written by an intelligent English gentleman, travelling in the pachalicks of Bagdad and Mossoul, will throw some light upon the proceedings of the French political agents in those quarters. They will he found the more worthy of attention as the public, indeed the Government itself, appears to be little aware of the efforts recently made by these agents to convert and to establish political supremacy over the various classes of Christians inhabiting those distant and secluded districts, where British agents, either from inferiority of rank, mediocrity of talents, or from their being occupied with commercial speculations, appear to leave the field open to their rivals. " Bagdad, June, 1842. " By an exaggerated construction of the conven tions existing between the Porte and France, the protection of all Christians, not absolutely British subjects, is claimed by French political agents. At this place, for instance, wher e th ere i s a B r iti s h Consul and a:French Consul-General, all Christians, whether native or foreign, are regarded by the latter as subjects of France. This protection, it must be observed, is not accorded as a f avour wheni demanded, but is imposed as an obligation. Until the appointment of M. de L. Weimar as French Consul (aeneral, this system was not carried to extremes but since the nomination )t that gentleman, the French Consulate has assumed the right of disposing both of the liberty and property of Europeans. M. de L. Weimar has also connected himself with the Persian political agent, and managed to enrol the people of that nation amongst his proteges. By this means lie has imposed upon the Paella, and obtained great accession of influence. Having succeeded in establishing this pretended claim to the right of gene ral protection, spiritual and temporal, M. de la Wei mar has endeavoured to exhibit his authority in various ways, all more or less arbitrary and inconsistent with ordinary practices. I will furnish you with some three or four examples— " Upon the last birth-day of the King of the French, the French Consul-General issued an order summoning all Catholics, including Syrians, Jacobites. and Chaldeans, to att en d him in procession to church, menacing them, in the event of refusal with his severe displeasure, and with the withdrawal of French pro tection. The result was that foreigners as well as na tive Christians of all denominations, except English, ignorant of the extent of Al. de L. Weimar's powers, and fearing the vexations that might ensue, were in duced to att en d, an d a d m it t h emse l ves to be French subjects. Among these persons were many indivi• duals who now sought for French protection. But they were told that not being Protestants, they must be Catholics, and thence de se French subjects." " A German Catholic merchant, named Swoboda, acting as agent for another, held the bond of a bank rupt. The latter offered to pay a certain per tentage on his debt, to which several creditors assented, but the German finding that the bankrupt was in flourish ing circumstances, refused. Upon this the latter, .who was a Persian, or under Persian protection, applied to the French Consul-General, who, being desirous to gain favour with the Persians by pro tecting one of their nation, sent a peremptory order to M. Swoboda, directing him to accept the composition and give up the bond, declaring, at the same time, unless these injunctions should be complied with in forty-eight hours, that seals should be placed upon the merchant's khan, and that he should be sent a prisoner to Damascus and Europe. DI. Swoboda, acting under the advice of friends, set this order at defiance, and the French Consul-General, finding he had carried his menaces too far, contented himself with withdrawing the French protection, which had never been solicited, and with pronouncing a kind of outlawry against the recalci trant merchant, whom-since that period he has sought to annoy by every means in his power." " The third case is that of an Italian priest, a man of great respectability, accused of liberal opinions, but whose principal crime was insufficient respect for the French Qousul,Genexal, and too great intimacy with the British and German residents. This man was ordered by M. de L. Weimar to quit Bagdad within two days, and a Consular Kavass was sent to execute the order, but' the priest having taken refuge in the house of a merchant, and M. de L. Weimar finding he could not secure him by force, the Con sulate had recourse to stratagem. The priest was in vited under promise of security and conciliation to the Consul-General's house, where after two or three days his papers were seized, and he was forcibly placed upon a dromedary and sent across the desert a prisoner to Damascus." "Another instance of the French Consul-General's inconsistent conduct must be mentioned. Having negotiated some bills of exchange to an English merchant named Hector, and finding in due season that the exchanges at Smyrna had been higher than at Bagdad, M. de L. Weimar insisted upon the mer chant refunding the difference. This being declined, on the just grounds that the exchange at Smyrna could not be taken as a criterion for that at Bagdad, M. de L. Weimar broke into violent menaces and in vectives against the character of the merchant and his countrymen ; which being reported to Mr. Hector, he desired a friend to call for explanation and satisfac tion ; but M. de L. Weimar replied that a French Consul-General could not condescend to measure himself with a shopkeeper. In thus declining to ac cept a challenge, the French Consul-General might have been justified, although the transaction was pri vate ; but in lieu of contenting himself with a refusal, warranted by his official position, he informed the ap plicant, that if Mr. Hector thought proper to meet him in the desert without witnesses, he, M. de L. Weimar, was ready to fight him with any weapons he chose to select. This mode of combat was of course declined, and Mr. Hector contented himself with publishing the correspondence, and making the affair as public as possible in the city. By the appointment of a French Consul-General, and by the English resident having only the rank of Consul, British interests, formerly all paramount, have essentially suffered. The distinction may ap pear trifling and unimportant, but in eastern coun tries such trifles produce serious effects, both upon the minds of native Christians and Mahomedans. The difference of rank throws the precedence and weight into the hands of the French agent, and the British Consul is regarded as a secondary personage, both by the Pacha and people, especially by the numerous tribes of Christians. Colonel Taylor, our Consul, has, I believe, repeatedly called the attention of Government to this point, and asked for equality of rank, but without success. As he does not demand any augmentation of salary, it is difficult to under stand why his request has been refused. Until he is raised to the same Consular level as his colleague, he cannot exercise the same influence, or act upon equal terms. " The same thing is observable at Mossoul. There the French have recently appointed a Consul, whilst the English Government is served by a Vice• Consul. Here again British interests suffer materially by the difference, and above all through the quality of the agents employed." SKETCHES OF SOCIETY. (From the Literary Gazette.) The American journals are always full of drolleries like the following. The editors, in remote and almost uninhabited regions, have often little of general news and none of local interest, and are therefore obliged to fill up with such wit as they can remember from old Joe, or invent such specimens as these : PRECOCIUd GENIUS.-" Bible-dictionary class, come up," said our schoolmaster. " Who was Lot's wife ?" " The pillow of salt what Moses laid his head on when he went up to Mount Sinai to offer his son Isaac up, coz he had on sheep but himself to do other wise." " What is said about Jonah ?" " Jonah swal lowed a big fish, and was found the third day asleep with a passel of James river leaf in his mouth, which he gave to the Queen of Sheba for mending his trou sers, which he bursted in strainin' to get out of the lion's den, where Daniel had been eatin' mince-pie and Brandreth's pills." "Goup to head." A LONG CANE.—A traveller, among narrations of wonders of foreign parts, declared he knew a cane a mile long. The company looked incredulous, and it was quite evident they were not prepared to swallow it, even if it should have been a sugar-cane. " Pray, what kind of a cane was it ?" asked a gentleman sneeringly. "It was a hurri-cane," replied the traveller. BRINGING say," said a wa g t o a ta l l youth, wh ose appearance will be readily understood —" I say, didn't there an almighty great tree stand in front of your father's house ? " Why ?

AMSTERDAM, AUG. 25.—The Minister of Finance issued a notice on the 23d, stating that the tveragepices ,of corn, during the period from the 20th of July to 19th 'August, 1842, both Inclusive, were as follow :—Whest, 9f. 69c. per muddle (a muddle • is about four bushels) 1 - r3e, 6f 37c. ditto ; buck wheat, 6f. 51c. ditto ; barley, 4f. 85c. ditto ; oats 3f. No. ditto. - SIR,—I happened to he thi s d ay.n t Oldh a . m about my own busi ness , w h en it struc k me that, at, there lrad been so much said about the Birmingham pa ogle having ceased to work, I would see what The b.Yra newspaper said on the affair. I, accordingly, went into Mr. Burrell's public-bouse for that purpose. At my entrance a man was reading the pr oceedingt in question, and when he came to that part of it which related to Mr. Sturge's address, I happened to say that it was fortunate enough that the said address was in my possession, and that, if the gentlemen j: n the room were willing that it should be read, I woula l do it after the man then reading had finished ; that being done, it was at once consented to, without any further remarks being made (though it was afcerwards said by one of, the policemen that I had commented on the contents of the said newspaper, which was certainly not true). However, not many minutes had elapsed after my having read the address, and the men then in the room had left it , before two policemen came into the room, and began to examine the papers in my hat, which Was then upon a form, I having pulled •it elf to read a little in your paper. While they were doing this I only question e d them as to their authority for looking. so. minutely in my hat, when one of them ordered me to stand up and pull everything out of my pockets which I might have in ; •this I did, thinking it would be the best, for I then discovered them to be official. .After I had pulled all out, one of the said officials not being satisfied, even put his hand into all my pockets, to. feel whether anything of a seditious nature, I suppose, was left in some corner thereof ; that being done, I was then asked - if I would be willing.tQ go to the Town-hall, to explain the papers that Were found - in my hat. One of them said It would be as well, and I thought it perhaps would be better to go quietly than to be knocked on the head, and go roughly; so %consented to acco:npany them to the .Town-ball, whe re I was taken into o ne of the reonis, - and ordered to remain a short time, until called on. After a few minutes had passed away, Wild, the chief man, -came in, and looked - at my papers; that being doiw, I must then k, - o before the Magistrates, to be examined, and explain the papers ; this I did readily and frankly. - - I told them that I was a member of the Complete Suffrage Union, of the Council of which Joseph Sturge was President, and, because I was an advocate for complete suffrage, that the . Secretary of the Council (William Morgan) thought proper to send me an account of this pro ceeding. One of the Magistrates was very curious in asking me questions : lie asked me about my going to France, and who supplied me with fund s d ur i ng th e time; whether I went to Paris, or anywhere else, and a good deal of irrelevant stuff, which I knew I had no right to answer; but I thought it best to speak to the officious gentleman, knowin4 that he might be peevish. After all this, they said now you are at liberty to take your papers and go ; but I took cafe not to thank them. Now, Sir, to conclude these remarks, I will just say, that it is of the utmost consequence to the real Re formers of this country to be on their guard, for it strikes me that there are a great many spies abroad. If you think the above remarks worthy orinsertion in your excellent paper, you will oblige, Yours respectfully, MOSES CHAPMAN. Upper-mill, Aug. 25, 1842. PROFESSOR LIEBIG, of GIESSEN. We learn from authority upon which we can rely, that the celebrated chemist, Professor Liebig, will ar rive in London in the course of next week ; and that he will visit this town in the first week of next month. Liebig may justly be considered the father of organic chemistry. He entered into the study of this diffi cult science at a time when it consisted of a mere assemblage of: .empirical facts. His first great endeavours were to improve the facilities for the analysis of organic bodies, and to introduce into it the precision which is necessary in all chemical inquiries. With the aid of the admirable apparatus invented by himself, he laboured for many years in creating the new science, and it is well known how productive has been the field of his labours. His fame as an analyst became so extended, that inhabitants of all nations flocked to his laboratory, and the most dis tinguished professors of foreign countries did not think it beneath them to be enrolled amongst his students. Our informant mentioned to , us, that on visiting his laboratory some years since, he found distinguished professors from Austria, Russia, Fraacr, England, America, and Switzerland. He also saw nat, yes of Mex ico, Spain, Hindostan, and various other countries. With so many students ready to follow out his suggNtions, he traversed with wondrous rapidity the field of dis covery, and has now raised organic chemistry to A proud position in the rank of the exact sciences. A few years only have elapsed since this great philoso pher cartetived that he might leave, without injury44s.:.: the progress of science, the details to be worked out by his followers ; and he himself set out to seek " pas tures new" in the practical applications of the prin ciples which he had discovered. His first work, on the Application of Chemistry to Agriculture, has indeed been an era in the advancement of that noble science, and has wrought and is still work ing a revolution in its practice. It is well known to the English public, through the translation of Dr. Playfair. His second work, a co pious abstract •of which we lately inserted in this Journal, is equally wonderful; and will no doubt, cause an equal improvement in physiology and in medicine. The Professor has opened a new path of inquiry, alike important to the welfare of the human race, and to the best interests of society. Long may ie live to pursue it, despite the sneers of the ignorant, and the taunts of the invidious. When we consider that these works were written at the desire of the British Association, and have been pro ductive of so much benefit to English agriculture and English capital; -and when we consider further, that almost all our rising chemists are pupils of the dis tinguished Liebig, we earnestly hope that our towns men, as well as the public generally, will hail his arrival with the respect due to his great talents, and render him every facility in the attainment of the object of his visit, which, we understand, is to ac quire information regarding the state of the agricul ture and manufactures of our country.—Manchester Guardian.

The Journal du Havre, which is opposed to the qnarantine regulations, relates the following anecdote : —" The Christophe Colombe, from Pointe-a Pitre, en tered our port on Saturday, and Was immediately pieced apart as unhealthy and pestilential: She was placed at the end of one of the docks, where probably she still re mains, isolated and watched narmwly, so that the passer by, perceiving this hot-bed of contagion from a distance, retires with hurried steps, shuddering at liming breathed the same air, even from afar, for an instant. Now, be it known that, amongst the passengers whom the Christoph• Colombe took on board at Guadaloupe, and who are all in the same condition as to suspicion of infection, there were tire who, in passing Serlinguer, not put on shore by a fisherman's boat. Thanks to the facility of communi cations, one of the diseMbarked passengers, after having traversed the whole of England, which is not anything the worse for his having done so, has just arrived at Havre, where, at full liberty and mingling with the po pulation, which has no suspicion of the enormous danger of his presence, he quietly attends to his business. As may be well ituagined, °us of his. first cares was to pay a visit to his captain ,and travelling companions, whom he found gravely gotikg• ihrough - their quarantine, and of whom he did not fail', tho Ugh of - cCetirse with all the pre; cautions insisted upon, to inquirt how their health was our% on."
