Sic Joshua Wall:ris ky, M.P., Presidint of the League'rocctliied the chair, and about 800 persons, many of whom were ladies, were present. i here were also present dele gates from Nottingham, Northampton, Edinburgk the Potteries, and Eastbourne: The CHAIRMAN,' in opening the proceedings, stated that numerous misrepresentations had been • made from time to time with regard to the objects and intentions of the society. To sustain the right of private judgment and perfect religious equality was, however, the only end and aim of the Sunday League. So far from wishing to weaken the cause of religion and morality they were most anxious to strengthen and preserve it, and they were also desirous that all their actions should be tested by that Word to which all denominations of Christians referred. They maintained that inno cent recreation on the Sunday was not only corE• patible but was in accordance with Scripture, and they courted any discuseion which , was calculated to elicit' he truth. At the same time they eschewed all interference with the religious cpinions of others. For his own part, he believed that inno-, cent recreation on the Sunday afternoon was not only calculated to sustain and strengthen, but also to foster and advance those social efforts without which there would be very little true piety. ' Of all men the working than was most interested in maintaining the integrity of the Sabbath,.for it was to him a day of joy, consolation, and comfor r t, He regarded it as the great .bulwark against incessant . toil, and all that he claimed was that it should be as free to the poor as to the rich. He simply sought juStiee and charity, and while desiring to do his own work in his own way ho refused to be coerced into the opinions of others. In tis (Sir J. Wahrv.- Icy's) opinion, the only effectual mode of improv ing and advancing the interests of the. working claSses was by sympathy, by kindness,'and by the forbe of good example ; but coercion had, and ever would fail in attaining those objects. They might close the Parks and shut'up the public institutions, but by so doing they would open the public-houses and keep the people in ignorance. They might surround the working man with pains and penal tie's, but such a course, instead of making him wiser, better, and happier, would only introduce .and sanction an organised hypocrisy. The Sunday League held that it was the duty of the wealthier classes, in the plenitude of their enjoyments and comforts, not to forget that innocent recreation on the Sunday was absolutely essential to the man who for six days out of the seven was confined in a factory or workshop. They also believed that th‘ best method of providing this recreation was to obtain the opening of the various museums, gar dens, and public institutions throughout the king dom on the Sunday. Mr. W. LOADER, proposed the first resolution:— " That in the opinion of this meeting the opening of the public museums, galleries, and libraries on Sundays -would improve the social habits and morale, and increase the happiness of the working classes." lib referred, to the doctrine of the Sabbatarians, that Sunday ought to be set apart as a day of Divine worship, but. called attention to - the fact that there was a numerous class who could not be in uced to enter a place of worship at all. The m mbers of the Sunday League were of opinion that this large class ought to be properly cared for a prevented from freq uen ti ng p u bli c -h ouses . T o best means of accompli s hi ng that o bj ec t was t o o n the British Museum, N a t iona l G a ll er y, an d 1 . o er places of innocent amusemen t on th e S un d ay, a upon that ground th e S un day L eague c l a i me d the support of the public. - Mr. Cox (of Edinburgh) seconded the resolution. Mr. SINDON then proposed an amendment to the effect that, the meeting thankfully accepting the late decision of the House of Commons on the sub je t of opening plac e s o f p u bli c amusement on Sun d , pledged itself to pr omo t e th e more f tequent o fling of those places at ti mes on wee k d ays ', w h en fir se who had to work for th e i r b rea d cou ld f u ll y a- I it themselves of the b e n e fit th ose p l aces a ff or d . T e speaker, amid consid era bl e u p roar a n d confu si n, briefly stated the reasons which induced him to`olpose the views of th e S un d ay L eague, an d to , advocate, instead of the present movement, an agi tation for a half-holiday on Saturday. Mr. GIRDLESTONE having seconded the amend ment ) • IVILIELNsoN, M.P., addresried the meeting ilisupport of the original motion. He said he be lieved that the Sabbatarians had. never put forward the slightest shadow of an argument against the opening of the B r iti s h M useum a nd o th er sources 0" rational amusement on Sunday. The members 1 f the Sunday League professed to be Christians n Protestants, and they claimed the right of pri e judgment in all religious and political matters. 'l e Sabbatarians, on the other hand, were desirous )f )reventing the working-man from using the Sab a 11 as lie liked, by closing against him certain )1 ces which ho thought it tight to visit. All that h Sunday League claimed was the right of hav:ng thtse public institutions left open to all who chose to tvisit them, and they were ready to take all the coe'quenceS upon' themselves if they went wro ng . lie - Curintmalt then put the original motion and tilt: amendment, when the former was carried by a vqy large majority, only 20 h an d s b e i ng h e ld u p Ign d• in avour of the amendment. Ir. R.

Oi''ENING OP THE CEYLON LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. rto Legislative Council of Ceylon was opened by his Exc elle ncy Sir Henry Ward, K.G.O , on the 30th of July. Tho Governor congratulated the colony upon the satis fact or y state of the revenue, the healthy condition of the proilv.cing interests, the steady increase of trade, and the actiw, prosecution of works intended to develope this grow ing prosperity. The financial statement of the Acting Au .ditor-General showed that the rebonue of 1855 exceeded tl i at of 1854, by 68,231/. ; that the excess of revenue over '.xpcnditure in the• year, notwithstanding a large supple mentary estimate, amounted to 70,6031.; the expenditure having been 405,6091., while the revenue was 476,2731.; and that this surplus, added to the balances of several preceding yeays, left,-at the , begiruainz of the• present year, a balance of 218,477/. 19s. in favour of the Govern ment. Deducting from the 93,5211. 7s. 3d., which may be considered as unavailable, if not absolutely irrecoverable, out of a sirn of 104,7461.; which appears, in the auditor's balance sheet, as the amount of "outstanding revenue debts," it appears that, aftei paying off the whole of the Treasury notes in' the Cutcherries, or in the hands of the public, there was, on the lst of January, 185'6, a net surplus of 124,9561. 12s. Bd., available for the service of the colony, in addition to the ordinary revenue of the year, the prospects of which are highly encouraging. For, by a second statement by the Auditor-General, up to the 30th of June, it appears that notwithstanding an increased expenditure of nearly 16,0001 during the first six months of the present year, 5,7301. of which have been laid out on public works and buildings, the revenue of the half year exceeds the expenditure by 33,6901., and the estimated revenue by 3 2,3411. As com pared with the first half of 1855 there is a decrease of 5,318/. ; but for this the receipts from the pearl fishery in that year fully account, since they amounted to 13,8771., or more than double the present decrease. In the customs there has been an increase of 4,4221.; in land sales of 6,459 1 .; a proof (as his Excellency remarkeAthat in fostering with a liberal hand whatever tends to increase its trade, to faci litate the acquisition of land by all classes of the popula tion, and to throw open the communications between the different provinces the colony is, in fact, consulting its own beet interests. On the subject of the railway the Governor said : Gentlemen of the Legislative Council,—l shall lay upon your table, to-day, copies of a despatch from her Majesty's Secretary of State, and of an agreement entered into by him with the Ceylon Railway Company, for the formation of a railway between Colombo and Kandy. This agree ment is a provisional one, but it becomes a contract, legally binding upon both parties, if confirmed by ordi nance within six months front the date of its signature. Based upon the resolutions passed by the Legislative Coun cil on the 9th of August last, the proposals originally made to the company were suspended, for many months, by the state of the money market in England. They were renewed in March, upon the first dawn of peace; and after a protracted discussion, in which I fed confident that .every man in the colony will gratefully acknowledge the time, labour, and thought bestoped by Mr. Labouchere upon the interests of a distant dependency, the negotiation was closed oh the Bth of June, by the assent of the railway company to terms which appear to the Secretary of State,' to achieve the first and principal object of securing the completion -ot the railway within a reasonable time, and which he is dis posed to recommend for your concurrence.' Mr. La.bou chore, in another paragraph, expresses his belief, that the stipulations entered into will be found to have been con sidered with a due regard to the interests of Ceylon, and to secure to the island important advantages.' Both in this despatch, and in a confidential despatch that pre ceded it, to parts of which I thought it expedient to give the same wholesome publicity that I have sought, in every stage of this transaction, as the best security for arriving of a sound conclusion, Mr. Labouchere has expressed his opinion, ' that it would be more advisable to commit the construction and working of the railway to a company, which could give substantial guarantees or solvency, than to undertake to complete the work by the direct agency of the island government, acting through contractors.' In this opinion I entirely concur; for though I will shrink fiom no duty that the interests of the colony require me to undertake, I confess that I view with much apprehen sion the complicated series of transactions in which the local government would be engaged, by the necessity of raising the capital required for so large an undertaking, upon bonds, subject to all the fluctuations of the money market, and by the influence which the chances of peace or war must exercise upon the operations of the most opu lent contractor. I prefer, therefore, the intermediate agency, if it present sufficient proof of competency to fulfil its engagements, and be subjected to such conditions as will control its action upon those points with regard to which all companies are disposed to consult the interests of their shareholders rather than those of the public. In all these respects I affirm, without hesitation, that the agreement which I shall place in your hands is almost un exampled in the stringency of its precautions. It is use less to analyse a document which will receive from you that full and careful consideration which it merits, whe ther we look to the high authority from which it pro ceeds, or to the importance of the objects contemplated. That its scope and tenonr should not have been thoroughly understood until the agreement itself was before the public is perfectly natural. No precis could do it justice, or guard against some honest misapprehensions. But the more you examine it, the more you will be con vinced that, for attaining a givenend, within a given time, it is nearly a perfect instrument—that the advantages are reciprocal, and by no means unfairly divided—for if the rate of interest be high, the control vested in the govern ment over the tariff, as well as over the choice and con struction of the line, the making the payment of the gua ranteed interest dependent on the actual completion of the work within the time stipulated, the maintenance of the railway in perfect working order at the cost of the company during the whole period of the contract, and the interven ttion of the Secretary of State in calling up the capital as required, and placing it to the credit of the colony, without risk or responsibility or possible loss, are privileges of no ordinary importance. The only fault that I have to find With the arrangement is the amount of responsibility which it imposes upon the local government. But I must warn you that you cannot lessen this without changing the cha racter of the agreement altogether. It may be matter of fair consideration whether it would be expedient to trust the Government loss and the company more—whether it Would be desirable to bind the company down, directly and peremptorily, to execute the whole work for a given sum, as has been proposed at Kandy; but in that case you must have another and a different agreement. You must create other and different machinery. You cannot call upon a body of men, who bind themselves simply to con struct a line of railway in the selection of which they have neither voice nor authority, to complete the work for a given sum, when the extent of it may vary from 70 miles to 100. There must be another limit to their responsie bility; and that limit is, the provision made by the 20th clause of the agreement, namely, that if the line, as selected by the Ceylon Government, under the 4th article, or as subsequently altered, under the sth article, shall exceed 90 statute miles in length," the company shall not, for the purpose of completing the railway, be bound to raise, and provide, a capital exceeding in amount 1,200,0001.' In the preceding part of the same article it is stipulated,* that if the sum of 800,0001., to be provided in pursuance of the 19th article of the agreement, shall be insufficient to defray the entire cost of constructing the railway, with the necessary works thereto belonging, the company shall be bound to raise, and expond sueh further °Taal ' (not 400,0001., or any other specific sum), but such further capital as may be required for the above purpose,' subject to the condition already specified, viz., that the length of the line Allan not exceed 90 statute miles, ' by making which, and by the expenditure of 1,200,0001., the company shall be held to have performed every covenant, stipulation, and obligation.' There may bo some obscurity in the wording of this article, but I state to you, upon the highest authority, that its object, as as sented to on both sides, is to reserve to the Ceylon govern ment a double right, and to impose upon the Company a double obligation. If the govern ment keep within th limit of ninety miles, it is entitled call for any amount (,f capital at 5 per cent. which may bo necessary to complete the line. If it exceed the ninety miles —(that is, the limit of length)— it cannot overpays the limit of capital, 1,200,0001. ; but within that limit, as regards amount, the government may make as large a detour as it may deem expedient or necessary. It has been signed, that under this provi . sion the company may waste money upon unnecessary works, in order to swell the amount of capital invested. But with the government rest the responsibility and the check, for the company can do nothing of which the engineer of the government disapproves, and ite works must be executed to his satisfaction. Subject to e these limitations, it is the interest both of the colony and of the company that a power of this nature should be reserved in dealing with a country not yet sufficiently known and full of natural difficulties; for it may be cheaper to construct 100 miles of railway upon impi °yea levels than 70 miles upon the levels of the existing survey. But the right of exceeding the 00 miles is ono that no pru dent Government would exercise, except upon the highest professional authority. And now, gentlemen, let us look at the precise shape in which the question comes before you. It is admitted on all sides--if the resolutions of public meetings be any criterion of public opinion—that the construction of a railway is desirable for the develop• went and se curity of the prolucing interests of the colony. It is admitted that a fresh survey must be made before the precise direction of the line can be fixed. It is admitted that the charge upon the revenues of the island ought not, in prudence, to exceed the interest upon 1,200,0031 of capi• tal. It is admitted that this charge must be defrayed out of fresh taxation, since tho attempt to provide for it out of the ordinary revenue would paralyse, for five years, those improvements in roads and bridges which are now rapidly advancing, and upon which will mainly depend the utility of the railway when completed. The nature and amount of this taxation it will be for you to consider. Upon all these points the opinions of her Majesty's Govern ment are in accordancowith those expressed in the colony during the last six weeks, and entertained I believe by the great majority of its inhabitants. It remains for you to determine whether you can devise a quicker, cheaper, or surer mode of attaining the common end than the adoption of the agreement concluded on your behalf by the Secretary of State, and recommended by him for your concurrence. Mr. Labouchere has not, however, imposed upon me the duty of urging this measure upon you as one in which her Majesty's Government is interested. Your decision will be the result of your own deliberate convictions ; and if I have dwelt so largely upon my own views respecting it, it is be cause I regard it as my duty not to conceal them, when I see on the one side practical and positive results to be at tained within a certain time, and by a certain amount of expenditure, and on the other, vague suggestions, which it will take years to invest with a substantive character. I therefore most respectfully recommend you to consider, in the first place, whether the circumstances of the colony are such as to warrant you in embarking in "so considerable an undertaking?" The Secretary of State has himself sug gested the doubt, and invited your opinion respecting it. If you adhere to your former resolutions, and think that a railway ought to be made in Ceylon, then I recommend you to make it, now that you have the means and the oppor tunity ; for if you reject the one and let slip the other, my belief is that much time will elapse before you stand again in the same position. I am not conscious that, in tendering to you this advice, I am biassed by any'other motive than the deepest interest in your welfare, and a natural desire when I go to leave some useful recollections of my stay amongst you. I now commit the question to your hands, with the certainty that it will be fully and impartially con sidered, and with the earnest hope that, whether you agree with me or not, it may be brought to a right decision."

The following correspondence (says the Newcastle Courant), originating from statements in the report of the manager, has passed between the directors in con nection with this establishment : (No. 1.) TO THE EDITORS OP THE NEWCASTLE COURANT. Tipperary, Bth September, 1350. Sir,—The recent report of Mr. Wm. Walker, as managing director of the Newcastle Commercial Bank, which appeared first in your journal, and was after wards copied by other newspapers, introduced my name in these terms On the 10th March last, Mr. Walker was informed by Mr. Alderman Kennedy that Messrs. James Sadleir, Law, and Keating, three of the London board, had al lowed the funds of the Newcastle Bank to be used in discounting orders of the Tipperary Joint-Stock Bank, Indorsed by Messrs. Wilkinson, Gurney; and Stevens, rby Mr. Gurney only. This, Mr. Kennedy stated, had been done without his knowledge, or that of his co iirector and relative, Mr. Valient. This was the first intimation of the fraud received by Mr. Walker.; and the shareholders may readily conceive Mr. Walker's chagrin, when he found that his friend at the board in London, Mr. Alderman Kennedy,' on whose judgment and integrity he chiefly relied, had allowed himself to be imposed upon by other persons at the same board. On the 17th of March Mr. Walker discovered that the sum refiresented by these Tipperary orders amounted to 51,0001." Having read those paragraphs, I applied at once to Mr. Alderman Kennedy for his explanation of them, and re ceived from that gentleman the straightforward letter which is endorsed. I then applied, through a friend at Newcastle, to Mr. Walker himself, requesting him that he would either acknowledge his mistake, or send me a copy of any letter from his friend Alderman Kennedy on which he might have relied as the basis of his repOrts. With this application Mr. Walker has not thought fit to comply, but states that be has examined the original document, and finds it in accordance with his published report. Under those circumstances, I trust that Alder man Kennedy's explicit letter to me, and my own distinct denial that I ever allowed the Newcastle Bank funds to be applied in discounting Tipperary Bank orders, will be regarded as a sufficient answer to the statements con cerning me in Mr. Walker's report. Mr. Law, ghoul I slso addressed, writes me the enclosed note. Bilsy I eg of you to publish it along with Alderman Kennedy's letter and this explanation, which I have mado'hs briet as possible l—l am, sirs, your faithful servant; R. KEATING. (No. 2.) Resington Lodge, Notting-hill, Aug. 21, 1853. Dear Sir,--Mr. Walker is not justified in the use of your name by anything he has heard from me, unless through inadvertence I expressed myself so carelessly as to convey some meaning I never intended. You were present on the sth of March, when Mr. Law made me acquainted, for the first time, with Mr. J. Sadleir's misappropriation of the Newcastle Bank funds, and you must remember that he distinctly charged Mr. James Sadleir alone with the responsibility, and never referred to you, taking to himself the blame of being deceived as to the concluding part of the transaction and being an in nocent participator in it. This is all that I could have communicated to Mr. Walker; but you may readily believe that I was not very composed when wr:ting, and I have no memorandum of the letter I addressed to him. —I am,dear sir, very truly yours, Robert Keating, Esq., M.P. R. 11. KENNEDY. (No. 3.) Reform Club, Sept. 6, 1856. . . , Dear Sir,—ln answer to your note I cannot hesitate to express my firm belief that you were no party to any application of the Newcastle Bank funds in discounting orders of the Tipperary Bank, and I ant certain I was never consulted as to those discounts. When you and I discovered them we did our best to repair the mischief. —Yours faithfully, F. JOHN LAW. Robert Keating, Esq , M.P. The following letter, remarking on this correspon dence, appears in the Gateshead Observer : - - - " TO THE EDITOR OF THVGATESHEID OBSERVER. • - " Sir,—The Courant of to-day publishes three letters relating to the affairs of this bank, and to the report which I presented to the annual meeting of the share holders. One of these letters—namely, that from Mr, Kennedy—requires special notice at my hands. The alderman appears to have forgotten that he used the name of Mr. Robert Keating, M.P., in connection with the orders of the Tipperary Bank. The following is the passage from the alderman's letter to me on which the statement in my report to the shareholders was based : 'Unhappily, Messrs. James Sadleir, Mr. Keating, and Mr. Law, without reference to me, and without any authority to act without my knowledge, discounted the bills of the Tipperary Bank, endorsed by Messrs. Wilkin son, Gurney, Stevens, and Co., concealing it from rue until last Wednesday.' Mr. Ald. Kennedy must set is the point as he pleases with Messrs. Keating and Law ; but these are his own words as I have quoted them. Mr. Alderman Kennedy should keep copies of his letters, and be careful as to the documents he writes or signs. The 'friend at Newcastle who applied to me on be half of Mr. Keating, and to whom I returned a courteous reply, was Mr. G. W. Cram. The latter gentleman was formerly a director of and solicitor to the Newcastle Commercial Bank. Mr. Cram is not very friendly in his feeling, I fear, towards myself; and I am inclined to believe that the singularly hostile and injurious paragraphs and statements which have ap peared from time to time in the Courant newspaper in connection with the Commercial Bank were not very warmly checked or censured by Mr. G. W. Craw-- who is the private solicitor, I understand, of Mr. John Blackwell, the leading spirit in the Courant establish• ment.--I am, &e., " WILLIAM WALKER.

ROYAL LONDON YACHT CLUB. The closing cruise for the season of this highly popular club took place on Saturday, and was a very happy affair, It had been arranged that the yachts should rendezvous at North Woolwich at half-past three, and there, at four o'clock, a number was found ready to sail. The Corn modore's flag was hoisted on board the Mars, which Mr. Haines, the owner, with his usual kind feeling, had placed at the disposal of the club, and the signal having been given to get under weigh, the little fleet pro- ceeded on its course with a gentle breeze to Erith. Having debarked there, the members of the club and their friends betook themselves to the Crown Inn, where at six o'clock a large party, presided over by Mr. James Goodson, the respected commodore, sat down to a most excellent dinner. This having been done justice to, and the cloth removed, the commodore proposed " the Queen, Prince Albert, Albert Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family," "the Army and Navy," and other appropriate toasts, which were drank with loud and prolonged cheering. These were succeeded by "Prosperity to the Royal London Yacht Club," " the Health of the worthy Commodore." The party then resolved itself into a committee of harmony, and a most agreeable evening was finished. On the following morn• ing some of the yachtsmen continued their cruise, and returned yesterday to town. NAUTILUS CLUB FOUR OARED RACE. This club wound up its season yesterday with a well contested four oared race, for tankards, from Putney to the Old Swan, at Chelsea. The day was beautifully fine, but the water rough, consequently not many beats were attracted out. The assemblage of spectators. however, was otherwise pretty good. The following was the re• suit of the race : White 1 Messrs. F. Witcher I Messrs. Atkinson Ronan I li. Winson R. Terrell; c)xswain. Blue.. Messrs. Cannon it roid C. Voley, coxswain. I Messrs. Gibb 3 G. Elsbford • • Green Messrs. Stevens I Messrs. Russell Cooper I B. Eatley W. Smith, coxswain. - Red Messrs. J. Florkett Messrs. Walker Wells G. Elsicy G. Witcher, coxswain. They started at six o'clock, Red taking the lead, closely followed by White ; Red had a lead of a length at the t Feathers, when White cams up and went into the first position at Wandsworth Distillery ; Green rowed up level with Red, and an exciting race followed, Blue half overlapping them. Between this and Battersea Church Blue gradually got level with the others, and coming I through the bridge, went into the second place, Red and t Green keeping level all the way. White won by three li or four lengths ; Blue two, one length ahead . of Red t: and Green, who were nearly abreast, Green having a slight advantage. ROTHERIIITHE ANNUAL REGATTA. An enormous assemblage congregated yesterday to witness the regatta at the above pls,ce, among six free watermen's apprentices belonging to Rotherbithe and vicinity, whose rowing was most capital. It was as usual a five heat wager, and was managed excellently by R. Moore and B. Spencer ; the awards of victory being a coat and badge for the first man, and money prizes far the others. The following were the results:— First Heat. Charles Turner (Red) 1 Charles Craddock (Pink) 0 Charles Crawford , (Yellow) 0 The distance in this and the next was from the Surrey C tnal buoy to the Commercial Dock buoy, twice round. Red took the lead and kept it all the way, winning by a considerable distance ; the other two made it a good race all the way. Second Heat. Henry Marriott (Blue) 1 Wrlliarn Simms John Wood (Green) 0 Blue touk the lead, closely pressed by Stripes, green close up. In this manner the first and second continued all the way, green dropping a long astern. Blue won by three or four lengths. Third Heat. Yellow. Green Stripes Pink The distance in this and the following heats was from the Commercial Dock to the Surrey Canal buoys, twice round. Yellow took the lead and kept it all the way, closely followed by stripes, green overlapping the latter. In this way they kept once round, when yellow went gradually away, and green passed stripes, leaving him a long way behind. Won by a dozen lengths. Four t.h Heat. Blue . ltud Green Yellow Red took the lead at a good pace, followed by Blue ; Red keeping the lead once round, Blue then passed him, and won by half a clear boat's length only. Red second. Gland Heat. Red Blue It was a beautiful start, both being level for 100 yards. Red then took the lead and kept it, winning easily. SCULLEItS RACE BETWEEN CHILDS, 01' LIMEIIOUSE AND JOSHUA ALLEN, OF B LACKWALL, FOR 25/. A SIDE. —A very splendid race, and such a ono as has not been seen for a long while below bridge, took place yesterday, over the usual below bridge course, from Woolwich to Limeheuse. Betting was level. The o:iprey steamer was engaged fur the occasion, and was crammed full of people, the number of spectators being very great. At half past our, all being in readiness, both went off capitally together, and continued so to Charlton Pier, where Allen was slightly in advance. A barge then put Childs out of his course, and Allen got a lead of eight boats' lengths. Childs, directly he was free, plied his sculls to good purpo , s, and, gaining at every stroke, wag within two boats' lengths at Greenwich. The row ing from hero was splendid. Cliilds presently cane level, and they were so all the way, when at the finish Childs got a little in &dvance, and proving the more direct than his opponent, led by a length. This occa sioned some slight dispute, but it was ultimately l iven in that Childs had fairly wun. The rrwing throughout was of a first-rate description, and did them both much credit.
