The Act of Parliament of the last Session affords an oppor tunity of applying the principle of Limited Liability to a purpose most proper for joint action—the entertainment and amusement of the people of this great Metropolis, and of the strangers and visitors constantly resorting thereto. London is singularly deficient in places of amusement, to which the public can resort at all times, and in all weathers, with a certainty of finding entertainment worthy of the search. This deficiency, it is sought, by this Company, to supply. The Royal Surrey Zoological Gardens afford the only grouud, Within a reasonable and easily accessible distance of the heart of Loudon, that can be obtained for the purposes of such a Company. They are situate within one mile and a quarter front any of the Bridges—they aro easy of access, both from the East and West End of London--their extent, of more than ten acres, is sufficient : a lake of considerable size, and well-grown ornamental trees, add variety, and afford opportunity for ornamental gardening ; and, even in their present condition, they are unrivalled for their open air entertainments. But the public require accommodation beyond that which any single proprietor would venture to give. The application of capital, with a liberal but judicious outlay, is imperatively called for—and now, by the Limited Liability Act, no danger can accrue to the parties supply ing it. It is proposed to erect buildings of character and magni tude to command the attention of the public—comprising a Music Hall for the performance of Vocal and Instrumental Music, capable of accommodating 10,000 people, and avail able for Public Meetings, Fancy Fairs, Floricultural and Horicultural Exhibitions, Winter and Summer Fetes of every kind. To this Music Hall will be added Saloons for Refreshment, and all needful appurtenances ; Galleries to view the Exhi bition of Fire works ; Conservatories for choice Plants, Aviaries for the display of beautiful and r tre birds, and Aquaria for the exhibition of marine plants and fishes, ar ranged so as to be at all times accessible, in buildings shel tered from the weather; whilst Exhibitions of various kinds will be introduced in the Gardens, affording amusement and variety. The eminent' services of Mons. JULLIEN have been se cured, on advantageous terms, for a period of five years. His acknowledged skill and popularity as a Conductor assure the success of this department. The Orchestra will be on a grand scale, and will include all the most eminent performers of the clay. Vocal talent, of the very highest order, will be engaged. The Artistic departments of Painting and Fireworks will be confided to the most celebrated men, and the Refresh. ments will be of a quality hitherto unequalled, at moderate prices. Calculations, made with every attention, have led the pro moters to believe that the sum of 40,0001. will bo ample to complete all that is requisite. The Plans and Estimates have been carefully prepared, and the intentions of the Promoters will be carried out by eminent Contractors. No commercial enterprise of the present day affords such certainty of success, with so large a prospect of profit. The estimated revenue to be derived has been calculated upon practical experience of what the Gardens have produced, and upon the increased receipts which increased amount of at traction must bring. Application for Shares may be made to the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company, 25, Golden-square ; to the Com mittee of Management, at their residences ; or at the Royal Surrey Gardens ; and a large portion of the capital being already subscribed for, early application is desirable. Immediately upon the allotment of Shares, and payment of Deposit, a General Meeting of the Shareholders will be called, to appoint the Directors, Solicitor, and Officers of tho Com pany ; thus avoiding favouritism, and insuring a Direction possessing the confidence of the Shareholders.

STAMPED SD• " Tlae Imperial Government, wishing to correspond to the co. nfidence shown by the two Allied Powers in gearanitee ing its loan, aecepted the principle of control given to ti ie board. it 16 the duty of the board to see that all the money of th e loan is employed in the pursuit of the war, and that this control shall not impede the service. „ The s u ltan's Government, to facilitate this double labour of the I;oard, submits to it the general budget, since the commencement of the war, of the Ministers of War and Marine, and a statement of all the extraordi nary expenses of the war. "'The statement of accounts of the Minister of Fi nances submitted to the board comprises the budgetfrent the 27th of May, 1853, to the 27th of September, 1855 —2B months. "' In those 28 months the Treasury disbursed for ex. trt:ordinary expenses of war, marine, and ar till ery, 3,015,588 purses, or 11,200,0001. " ' Those accounts are divided into three periods : " 4 1. From the 27th of May, 1853, to the 12th of March, .1854, the period of the Turkish financial year. "' 2. From the 13th of March, 1854, to the 13th of March, 1055, a whole year. " ' 3. Prom the 13th of March, 1855, to the 27th of September, 1855. " ' Each period is divided into three categories—de partments of war, marine, and artillery. " ' The first category consists of the expenses covered by the ordinary budget ; and of the amount of 3,015,588 purses, or 11,200,0001., we find the sum of 1,462,139 purses, or 5,400,0001., covered by the budget allotted to the throe departments. " The second category consists of the expenses for which the Treasury has been able to procure resources and this figure amounts to 1,029,694 purses, 0r3,860,0004 "'The third category consists of the expenses covered by the funds of the first loan,land the amount is 523,74 purses, or 1,940,0001. " By the documents annexed the board will see that the resources found by the Government, exclusive of th e budget, consists in— " 1. 617,297 purses (2,286,2851.), the produce of the complete were the plans, and so carefully had all th contingencies been provided against, that in no point was there a failure in carrying out his arrangements. " The officers selected to lead the party were Mr. Anderson, a chief factor of the company, and Mr. J. G. Stewart, a chief trader—both well qualified by experi ence, courage, physical strength, &c., for the arduous duty. The party consisted of these two officers and 14 men, and left Port Resolution, a port in the Hudson's bay Company on Great Slave Lake, on the 22d of June last, in two bark canoes, in which they performed the peri lous voyage down Great Fish River — a river known to the world for its dangers and horrors. From Mr. Stewart we learn that he doubts that the party ever could have got safely down that stream to the coast bad it not been for the wonderful dexterity of the three Iroquois voyageurs whom Sir George Simpson had pru dently forwarded from Lachine to join the expedition —the three best men of his own canoe. " The party reached the outlet or estuary of the river on the 30th of July, and skirted along its eastern shore as far as Point Beaufort, but found no traces to reward their search. Thence they crossed over to Montreal Island, 12 miles distant, lying near the western shore of the estuary ; probably, in that crossing, incurring as great peril as any in the gloomy record of Arctic travels, pushing their bark canoes boldly out into the Arctic Ocean, and forcing their way through drifting masses of Arctic ice seven or eight feet thick. But they were pre pared to make any effort to reach the island, which, as well as Point Aigle, near it, had been the place Dr. Rae understood the Esquimaux to mean when describ ing where the white party perished in 1850 ; and they had the melancholy satisfaction of procuring on that very spot the fullest possible confirmation of Dr. Rae's report. They also met Esqnimaux I n that vicinity, who had seen the whites, and gave much vale able information. Suffice it to say that on the island were discovered the remains of a boat, which had been partially destroyed by the natives for the sake of the wood and the metal fastenings. " Although there was sufficient left to identify 't as belonging to the Franklin Expedition—one fragment of wood (now, as well as some other small relic s, in p osses. sion of the Hudson Bay Company at Lachine) having the name `Terror' branded on it, while another piece had the name of Mr. Stanley (surgeon of the Erebus) cut upon it, this latter being part of a snow-shoe, evi dently of English manufacture, being made of oak, a species of wood no man accustomed to use snow-shoes would ever select for the purpose—no papers or books, and no human remains were found ; nor was it likely, as four years had elapsed since this tragedy was enacted upon a low sandy beach, exposed to the storms of four Arctic winters, and there is little doubt that either the sea has washed off, or the sand has buried deep, the un fortunates who perished on this spot. The Esquimaux were very friendly, and freely displayed all their trea sures obtained from the boat, or found near it, and these consisted principally of the oars, used by them as tent poles, the boatlettles, the empty preserved meat-cases, &c., but no papers ; and the natives stated, with every evidence of sincerity, that none had ever been seen or found. " Everything portable was secured by Messrs. Ander son and Stewart and brought back, and the articles are now on their way to Canada ; it would be useless to re count them all, but we may mention bar iron, rope with the Government mark on it, oats branded with the broad arrow, pieces of buntin (remains of a flag), a letter holder, a step of a mast, &c.—all clearly European, and all Government supplies. Is anything more wanted " The weather is described as having been ' execrable' —constant storms, with ice, snow, rain, sleet, bail, thun der, and whatever else can be conceived thatis disagreeable. It is a part of the coast the natives even consider unin habitable—merely visiting it for a short time in summer, when the deer pass that way. " On the 14th of August, when the expedition com menced its retreat from the coast, the ground was co vered with fresh fallen snow, and the ice was forming ; in fact, winter had set in. Few further details of the last moments of the lost party have been collected. We may mention one mournful incident reported by an Esquimaux woman, who saw the last man die. He was large and strong, she said, and sat on the sandy beach, his head resting on his hands, and thus the last survivor of Franklin's expedition, yielded up his brave spirit. Messrs. Anderson and Stewart retraced their steps to Great Slave Lake whence the latter continued his jour ney onward to Red River settlement, and thence via the Minnesota Territory to Montreal, where he arrived on Friday evening last, direct from the Arctic Sea, after upwards of 5,000 miles travel in open craft and through uninhabited regions without a halt. A few facts taken at random may serve to bring home to our appreciation what this North-West expedition accomplished and went through. In 13 months, to a day, the Iroquois who were sent from Lachine to form part of the expedition, returned thither, thus performing in one year the same service that Sir G. Back got through in three. For 60 days and nights the party saw no fire, there being no timber on the Great Fish River or Arctic coast ; and during those 60 days they travelled incessantly in open craft in a wretched climate, never had dry clothes or slept on dry blankets, and never ate cooked victuale except on rare occasions, when they made a little tea by means of a lamp. This party of 16 in all travelled in bark canoes down one of the most turbulent rivers known even to North-West voyagers ; ventured among the ice on the Arctic Sea ; and returned to their start ing point without meeting a single accident to person or property—and, withal, performed all that was required of them ; and, had they gone out four or five years earlier would no doubt have been instrumental in sav ing the lives of a portion of Franklin's party. We think the foregoing narrative is ample corrobcra tion of the wisdom of the recent outcry, to put " the right men in the right places." " One word in conclusion as to the Franklin Expedi tion. The two vessels, Erebus and Terror, left England in 1843—were last heard of in 1845. They probably tried several passages, but were baffled by the ice, and finally in 1848 were crushed, probably in Victoria Straits. Many of the crows perished, but one or more boats got off with the survivors, who took all the stores they could collect and travelled southward towards the Arctic coast in the hope of reaching some of the Hudson's Bay Com pany ports. The season of 1849 was probably spent on this dreary journey, and renewed in 1850, when they reached the coast at the mouth of Fish River, but in so exhausted a state that they could merely run their boat on the beach and crawl ashore to die. Thin seems all that, is certain, and all that we can ever know, of the fate of the Franklin Expedition." Her Majesty's Arctic discovery ship Resolute, which was abandoned, has been towed into the port of New London by the American whaling ship George Henry. When found she had drifted 1,000 miles from the place where she was aban doned. Her sails, rigging, and all her appoint ments were in good order. The following correspondence has been made public at Washington : " Washington, Dec. 8, 1855. "Sir,—Her Majesty's Government have lately been apprised of the safe return of the expedition under your command to the Arctic regions in search of Sir John Franklin. They have also been informed of the safe return of the searching squadron under Capt. Hartetein. This intelligence has afforded sincere pleasure to her Majesty's Government, and I have now the honour, in their name, to offer their cordial congratulations to you, sir, and to convey to you, and to request you to com municate to the officers and crew who, under your com mand, so nobly attempted to afford Sir John Franklin and the officers and crews of her Majesty's ships em ployed on the Arctic Expedition, the assurance of the sincere regard of the British Government and people for their generous exertions.

" The total amount of the war expenses during the 28 months being 1,553,449 purses (5,800,0001.), and the amount of resources disposed of by the Treasury being 1,223,574 purses (4,573,0001.), the Treasury may there- fore clsim 329,874 purses (1,227,0001.)

" To resume, then, in the period of 23 months the extraordinary expenses of the war amounted to about 2,000,000 purses (7,400,0001.) In this sum figure— "' 100,000 purses (370,0001.) advanced to the allied armies iu war materiel, ammunition, &c. .

The troops of Egypt, paid by these provinces, have always been maintained (entrctenus) by the Imperial Govern ment. The Imperial Government, without levying any new tax, maintained this war for two years and a half without any other resources from Europe than 2,500,0001. sterling of the first loan, and 600,0001. advanced on the second ; it may be proud to show such a statement to its allies, justifying their confidence. " It must render testimony of all the populations of the empire, which, by an admirable devotion, alleviated the burdens of war. " 'ln submitting this statement to the board the Government has two objects in view—that of making the board thoroughly acquainted with the actual state of affairs, and that of asking from the board on the funds of the loan the " 169,574 purses (628,0001.) advanced by the Trea sury, and indispensable at the present moment, as well on account of the interest of the public debt to be paid as owing to the delay occasioned by the state of war in collecting the revenues. " ' Let us pass to the budget of the departments of War, Marine, and Artillery, to provide for the present budget, one half of which is already gone. " The War Department, the most considerable one, has already presented its budget from the 13th of March, 1855, to the 13th of March, 1856. The Ministry of Marine is preparing its budget. The artillery, not being able to fix beforehand the amount of nta,Mriel and am munition required, will call upon the board for money according as it may require it. " 'ln 1845, for an effective force of 122,000 men the budget was fixed at 518,654 purses (2,357,5181.), owing to the course of exchange 1,920,0001. On this budget a sum of 81,331 purses (300,000/.) was destined for gene ral expenses, council outlays, the different military schools, school of engineers, &c.

DROWNED mimic TRIEVING.—On Friday an inquest was held at Manchester on the body of James Pauley, aged 26. Mrs. Sarah Wilkes said that she resided at No. 79, Dale-street. Her husband was storekeeper to the Rochdale Canal Co. About half-past 1 on Wednes day morning she was in the kitchen, and heard a noise on the slates of the house, followed lsy a plunge into the water of the canal, which runs underneath the window. She opened the door and found a quantity of lead hang ing down in front of the house ; and she drew the infe rence that a man bad fallen into the water, but could' not see anything. On the following day the deceased was found about the middle of the stream. It is sup posed that deceased was engaged in taking the lead off the roof of the house, missed his footing, fell into the canal, and was consequently drowned. Verdict, "Found drowned."—Manchester Examiner. BLIND ABTLIIM.—We understand that Jenny Lind (11Irs.

Accordingly, last evening, after the service, she pro ceeded to the school and there sang several anthems.

The poor g irl had been reading a book on the n i g ht of Monday , but, sitting on the stool before the fire, bad fallen asleep, when by some means her clothes caught fire, and she ran up to her brother's bed-room a mass of flames. He tried to put it out with his clothes and those of his brothers who were in bed with him, but not succeeding, and the flames beginning to communicate with the bed-clothes, he begged her to run down stairs, which she did, into the street, and there ran up and down, one body of fire flaming considerably above her head. Almost instantly her father and mother came up, and she was thrown down on the wet road, and rolled over, and the flames were extinguished, and she was wrapt in a blanket and carried home, where she died at half-past 4 the next morning. The view of the body was awful in the extreme. Verdict, " Accidentally burned." —Camirielge Independent. Tim& NEw SOUTR Wit TARIM—The adoption of the new tariff in New South Wales is an event which is calculated to create surprise in this country, where a free trade policy has becom e so firmly established, and where re duction of taxation is the rule, and an increase is only permitted in the exceptional case of the urgent require ments of the present war. New South Wales has no heavy war expenses to provide for, and yet we find that the taxation of the necessaries of life had been most enormously increased. The duties on tea and sugar have been increased 100 per cent. ; upon some other articles the additional imposts are very considerable. The passing of the new tariff bill has given great dissatisfaction to the colony, and an analysis of the votes of the mem bers gives a very unpleasant and unsatisfactory re sult that the minority opposed the bill are all elec. tivo members, and represent the most numerous and influential constituencies in the country ; while the majority is almost entirely made up of official and no minee members. We question much whether the build ing of the new Council Chamber, at a cost of 10,0001., or even the assimilation of the tariff with that of the neighbouring eolony of "Victoria, will be sufficient to reconcile the tax-paying portion of the inhabitants of New South Wales to the operation of a financial mea sure carried by the nominee element in opposition to the wishes and feelings of tho great bulk of the people of the colony,—Australian and New Zealand Gazette. SIR JOHN FRANKLIN'S EXPEDITION. LIVERPOOL, Tuesday.—By the Baltic we have advises announcing the return of the Hudson's-bay Company's Arctic expedition, and the confirmation of Dr. Rae's melancholy report as to the fate of Franklin's party. It will be recollected that Dr. Rae has been em ployed by the Hudson's-bay Company for the last four or five years in an effort to discover any traces of the remains or the fate of Sir John Franklin and his party ; that he has made two expeditions into the Arctic regions for the purpose, and that he was so successful in the last expedition as to discover evidences of the fact that a party of white men, with ships and boats, had perished in that far-off hyperborean region several years ago, which Dr. Rae concluded to have been the ill fated expedition he was in search of. Beyond finding some spoons and other trifles among the Esquimaux bearing the name of "Franklin,'' and the above tidings which he gathered from the in habitants, his expedition amounted to nothing. It will also be recollected that soon after the conclu sion of his last tour the Hudson's Bay Company sent out another party to elicit still more facts on this point, and that, in pursuance of this design, a messenger was sent from their head-quarters in Montreal to Governor Simpson at the Selkirk set tlement to make the necessary arrangements for that purpose. Mr. J. D. Stewart and Mr. Ander son were selected for this duty. The (St. Paul) Minnesotian, of December 12, gives the following account of Mr. Stewart's expe dition and its sad result : " Mr. Stewart, with a party of 14 men, therefore started from his post, the Carlton-house, in 54 N. lati• tude, on the 7th day of February, 1855, and proceeded to Fort Chipewyan, at the head of Lake Athabasca, in lat. 58 N., at which point they arrived on the sth day of March. llt had been determined to make the trip to the Arctic Sea by water so far as was practicable, and the party therefore remained at this post until the 26th of May, busily engaged in constructing boats, and making other preparations for their dreary journey. At that date the party left Fort Chipewyan, and journeyed by canoe on the Peace River, which connects Lake Athabasca with Slave Lake, some 350 miles in a north westerly direction, till, on the 30th day of May, they arrived at Fort Resolution, which is situated on an island in Slave Lake, about latitude 61. "At Fort Resolution the party was joined by Mr. Anderson, who, with Mr. Stewart, had been appointed to the command of the expedition. Here another delay was made, for the purpose of reorganisation, and making the last preparations before attempting to penetrate the interminable frozen north. These arrangements com pleted, the party started out on the 22,1 of June for the head of Great Fish River, in lat. about 63N. Thence they followed the course of the stream to the Arctic Ocean. Mr. Stewart represents the navigation of this river as exceedingly dangerous, being obstructed by over 100 difficult rapids. Over all these, however, with nothing more substantial than birch-bark canoes, they passed in safety, and arrived at its mouth on the 30th of July. "Here they met with Esquimaux, who corroborated the reports of Dr. Rae, and directed them to Montreal Island, a short distance from the mouth of Great Fish River, as the spot where, according to their instructions, they were to commence minute exploration. From this time until the 9th of August the party were industriously engaged in searches on the island and on the main land between 67 and 69 north latitude. We cannot recapi tulate the perils escaped and privations endured by the brave band while seeking to find traces of their country men who had perished on those desolate shores. Three times they providentially escaped being ' nipped,' as Mr. Stewart expressed it, or crushed between moving mountains of ice. At last on Montreal Island, where their explorations commenced, they found snow-shoes, known to be English make, with the name of Dr. Stan ley, who was surgeon of Sir Jon Franklin's ship, the Erebes, cut in them by a knife. "Afterwards they found on the same island a boat belonging to the Franklin Expedition, with the name ' Terror' still distinctly visible. A piece of this boat, containing this name, was brought along with him by Mr. Stewart. Among the Esquimaux were found iron kettles corresponding in shape and size with those furnished to the Franklin Expedition, and bearing the mark of the British Government. Other articles, known to have be longed to the expedition, were obtained from the Esqui maux, and brought by the party for deposit with the British Government. No bodies, however, were found, or traces of any. The report of the Esquimaux was, that one man died on Montreal Island, and that the balance of the party wandered on the beach of the main land opposite, until, worn out by fatigue and starvation, they, one by one, laid laid themselves down and died too. " Tne Esquimaux reported, further, that Indians far to the north of them, who had seen the ships of Frank lin's party, and visited them, stated that they had both been crushed between the icebergs. Mr. Stewart took especial pains to ascertain whether the party had come to their death by fair means or foul ; but to every in quiry the Esquimaux protested that they had died of starvation. " Gathering together the relics found, the party set out on their return on the 9th of August last. The re turn route did not vary materially from that taken on their way north. Mr. Stewart has occupied the whole time since in reaching our city, having come by way of the Red River country, and having been absent in all about 10 months. Mr. Stewart left St. Paul yesterday en route to the Hudson's-bay head-quarters at Lachine, I Canada, to submit an account of his adventures." The St. Pant's Times, in its account, says : "The expedition reached what is called Montreal Island, where they fell in with some Esquimaux, who informed them where the crew of the Terror (one of Franklin's ships) met their untimely fate. They gathered up the remains of a boat having the name of Sir John Franklin on it, a hammer, kettles, part of a blue flag, and other articles belonging to the unfortunate vessel. We are informed by the Esquimaux that they reached the spot just in tune to see the last man die of hunger, who was leaning against some object when discovered. He was too far gone to be saved. The wolves were very thick there, and no traces of the bones of the men could be seen, supposed to have been eaten by the wolves. The Esquimaux state that it is four years ago since the crew perished. It was on the coast opposite Montreal Island. Their bones lie buried in the sand within an extent of 12 miles. This is the fifth winter since they perished, and the drifting sands of that barren region, being in lat. 68 deg. north, have piled in successive layers on the bones of those noble and ill-fated men. Mr. Stewart describes the region as dreary in the ex treme—not a blade of grass or a stick of timber met the eye. No game of any kind could be found. The Esquimau', from whom their information was obtained by signs, pressed their fingers into their cheeks, and, placing their hands on their stomachs, endeavoured to indicate the manner of their horrible death. They were charged with killing them, but merely answered with their signs." The Montreal Herald, of Dec. 24, has a more detailed account of the expedition : ~ We have been favoured by E. M. Hopkins, Esq. (in the absence of Sir George Simpson), with the following outline of the proceedings of the Arctic expedition, which, by instructions from her Majesty's Government, was employed by the Hudson Bay Company to follow up the clue discovered by Dr. Rae while engaged on another exploring expedition, also fitted out by the Hud son Bay Company, of the fate of Sir J. Franklin's party. " It will be in the recollection of our readers that it is scarcely a year ago that we published to the world the first authentic information that had been received of the lamentable fate of the gallant Franklin and his brave comrades. The intelligence which was conveyed to Dr. Rae in the winter of 1853.4 by the Esquimaux, and in the accuracy of which that distinguished Arctie traveller placed perfect reliance was received by the public in England with great hesitation, arising, probably, from an unwillingness to believe the mournful facts. That in telligence was in substance that, in the winter of 1850 the Esquimaux saw a party of whites travelling from the northward towards the A retie coast, dragging a boat over the ice, intending to use it as soon as they reached open water ; that the party, about 40 in all, made the land near the mouth of the large river (the Great Fish River), and there perished of starvation, to which were added a number of frightful details of their suffer -1 ings, which we will not again inflict on our readers. In proof of the truth of these reports, the Esquimaux ex hibited and sold to Dr. Rae a great variety of relics, principally silver forks and spoons, marked with the crests and initials of various officers of the ships Ere bus and Terror (Franklin's), and, amongst other articles, a small order, or star, with Sir John Franklin's name engraved on it. "These were the tangible proofs conveyed to England by Dr. Rae, in confirmation of the tale he collected from the Esquimaux ; but his proceedings and conclusions have been frequently called in question ; and therefore it will be the more gratifying to him now that they are fully corroborated, even to minute details of locality, &c., in which he might possibly have been mistaken. As soon as Dr. Rae had laid his report before her Majesty's Government it was decided that an attempt should made to follow up the trace he, had obtained, commencing at the point indicated by the Esquimau" as the scene of the last sufferings of the party of whites seen by them in 1850. The organisation and management of this new expedi tion were wisely entrusted to the Hudson Bay Company. On the 27th of October, 1854, the instructions of her Majesty's Government and the Company were forwarded from London to Sir George Simp son at Lachine, where he received them in the middle of November. His great experience and well-known ability in affairs of that nature enabled him to decide with promptitude on th e mode of carrying out t he expedition ; the men to be employed as leaders and in subordinate capacities ; the amount of supplies, craft, and all other requisites for the undertaking ; and on the 29th November last year his instructions were despatched by special messenger to the Hudson Bay territories, all parts of which were put under requisition to furnish material, the whole to be collected at the rendezvous, Fort Resolution, in Great Slave Lake, by the let of June following, and eo NUMBER ONE, LONDON.
