, I _ lll s-..~-~.~.1 L MONEY MARKET COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCI. CITY, Two o'CLooK The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed heavily, and prices of American were 1-16 d. per lb. lower than last week, but all other sorts were unchanged. The sales were 6,000 bales, 1,500 for export, and 500 on speculation—comprising 200 Pernam and Maranham, at 6id. to 71d. ; 100 Egyptian, 6&d. to 81d. ; and• 300 Surat, 4id. to skd. per lb. The Railway Share Market was rather active, and many of the leading stocks were extensively dealt in at improved prices. Accounts from Lyons state that the tallow mar- ' ket was active and prices well maintained on ac count of the advices from London reporting a rise. Beef tallow was sold at 126 f. to 128 f., and mutton ditto at 146 f. to 148 f. At the close of the market holders of stock were not inclined to sell lowest • qualities under 128 f. The advices received from Russia also mention that the exports are limited on account of the advance in freights, and the small quantity of tallow for sale in the prin cipal markets. This has been chiefly caused by the exports of 1854, having comprised the whole of the stocks accumulated from previous years, so that the produce of the present year will, no doubt, have been all exported at the close of the navigable season, without, as formerly, leaving a portion to add to the next year's exports. At Marseilles there is a considerable quantity of tal low imported from Italy, and sales have been effected at 138 f. for delivery at the entrepot. In other continental markets there is everyappearance of tallow advancing in prices as the winter season approaches ; and it would appear from the trade reports generally that the demand is greatly on the increase, especially in the finer class of tallow. The Colonial Produce Markets during the past week have been rather dull, but no general decline in prices has taken place. For sugar there has been very little inquiry, and a reduction of 6d. per cwt. has had to be submitted to where sales have been pressed. Coffee has generally rule d firm at full rates, but some of the lowe qualities have been rather cheaper. Tea has bec zn quiet, rice 3d. to 6d. cheaper, and cocoa fin n. Saltpetre, cochineal, and tallow have been firm, I rut not active. In spices the transactions have b' ?en limited. Wool at public sale has realised previ .ous quotations, and there is a good attendance of I ioth home and foreign buyers. The suspension of another small country b: i n k, viz., the Hemel-Hpmpstead and Watford, has I be :en announced, the London agents having refused to pay its notes. It had authority to issue not( is to the extent of 23,8421. The liabilities, it is repo - ct ed, amount to about 70,0001. It is stated that a large portion of the gold brought by the Royal Charter from Australi a. has been purchased for transmission to the Conti Dent. The English Funds are exceedingly firm at , pre vious quotations, but there is very little by isiness to report. Consols for Money have been 95k k, and 95f1 for Account. The New 3 per Cent: I. were 96 to 96k, and the Reduced 95i 1. Bank , Stock was 21k. Exchequer Bills are firm at 9s. to 13s. prem., and the Bonds 1004. Consols Scri ip i s 3/ premium. Foreign Securities are dull, but without an y material change in prices. Turkish Smal' I Bonds are 103 f, and the 4 per Cent. Guaranteed 1031 to 104. Peruvian Dollar Bonds have been dealt in at 6 . 18. Grenada Deferred 7f, and Brazil; an 5 per Cents. At 1011.

The half-yearly general meetirg of the proprietors of this railway was held this afternoon at the Euston square station. Mr. Benson, deputy-chairman, pre• sided, in the absence of the Marquis of Chandos, pre vented by illness from attending. The report and statement of accounts, which have already been published in The Sun, were taken as read. The CHAIRMAN said that at the last half-yearly m eet ing the chairman informed the shareholders that the dis pute with the Great Northern Railway was in process of settlement, and he (Mr. Benson) was happy to be en abled to inform the meeting that an agreement had been signed by the two companies for submitting the dispute between them to arbitration, and Mr. Gladstone would shortly be called upon to make an award. He congra tulated the shareholders on their general relations with other companies. Everything was working satisfactorily, and the directors were convinced that the best policy fcr them and other companies to pursue was that of a friendly character instead of ad verse competition, and in conformity with that principle the directors had seen the propriety of making such arrangements with other companies. The hon. gentleman then referred to several of the de m tails i❑ the report with reference to the votes of money required from the shareholders, &c., and said that the arbitration under the West London Act of 1854 had resulted in an award, by Mr. Hawkshaw, that the lessees should pay to the proprietors of the 'West London Rail way, for the use of their line, a sum of 1,8001. per annum, from the Ist July, 1856, in lieu of the undefined and fluctuating payments provided for in the original lease, and which have led to so much litigation. The arrears and damages amount to 4,1271., of which 2,0001. were charged in the accounts of the past half-year. - The accounts were of the most encouraging character. Notwithstanding the large amount of 8,0001. extra they had had to pay during the past half•year for coke, and an increase in the rate of interest, the actual gross ex penses had not increased, whilst the receipts bad been largely augmented, and he had for the first time for some time past to point to an increase of the passen ger traffic, which, he hoped, would progress, because it was to that they must look for as increase of re ceipts. The traffic was also increasing, and when the whole of the branches, &c., of the line had been fully developed he had no doubt they would find growing returns. The company had been subjected to great competition on the east and on the west, which, happily, were now at an end. He moved the reception and adop tion of the report. The resolution having been seconded, Mr. HADFIELD, M.P., complained that the receipts were not sufficiently remunerative for the amount of capital invested, and contrasted the receipts of former years with the present in confirmation of his opinion, and said that he believed they were working for the benefit of the public and not for themselves, which in the end would result unsatisfactorily to all parties. He found no allusion in the report to the conference that was to take place between'the committee of shareholders and the directors, and that had taken place ; and he asked for an explanation why no allusion had been made to it in the report. He thought the conclusion at which the committee had corns to ought not to be treated as a dead letter. (Hear, hear.) If something be not done in accordance with the committee's recommendation next half-year, he would press their re-appointment with a view to an improvement in the management. Mr. MITCHELL regretted that the congratulation of the directors did not increase the credit side of the bankers' account. He could not consider directors' congratulations as an equivalent for a reduction of divi dend, and said that with an increased receipt of 69,625/. they ought to have a larger dividend than 5 per cent. He considered there was something wrong in the present system of management, and compared the various rates of dividends that had been paid by the line on reduced returns with that to be paid now with increased traffic and returns. Mr. DEANE expressed his surprise at the sums that had been spent on renewals of the permanent way being placed to capital account. Such additions to capital must inevitably swallow up all dividends. Mr. PIINCHARD called attention to the working 'ex penses having increased from 33 to 40 per cent:, and said that the accounts, as presented to the shareholders, did not represent the actual sums paid for law and Par- liamentary business. He found the enormous sum of 17,0001. down in the accounts for compensations and losseg, and asked how much of that was paid for acci dents over which there was no control, and how much for accidents from neglect? He wished to know if the frauds that had lately been committed. at Liverpool were included in this half-year's losses ? He asked for details of the accidents to be furnished in the reports. He also complained of the expenses of the stations being too great. Mr. DICKENSON said the arrangements of the line for travelling were admirable, and he dissented from the opinion that too many servants were employed, or that they were overpaid. He considered there were too many directors. After some further discussion, The CHAIRAIAN said that the number of directors was fixed by Act of Parliament, and with regard to the law and Parliamentary expenses they were driven into them to protect their property. He did not think the compen sation paid great when they considered that they had carried during the half year a million worth, of property over the line ; and as to the defalcations alluded to, there were none. He believed the directors had carried out the recommendations of the committee of reference in most instances. It was impossible to make such great changes as the committee recommended in a short space of time. The only recommendation that had not been carried out was "locomotive consolidation," which was under the consideration of the board. The report was ultimately agreed to. A dividend of 5 per cent. was declared, and the divi dend warrants to be made payable on Tuesday, the 19th inst. After the transaction of some unimportant businev, The meeting separated. BUCKINGHAMSHIRE RAILWAY. (This Day.) The half-yearly meeting of this railway was held this morning, at the Easton-square Stati'm ; the Hon. P. S. Pkrrepoint in the chair. The report stated that the sun of 24,900/. had been received from the London and North •Western Com pany for the half-year's rent up to 31st December, 1855. The balance in hand at that period was 1,1421. ls. making a total of 26,042/. is. 21. The dividends paid during the six months amount to 25,487/. Ss. 6d., leaving a balance of 5541. 12s. Bd. The next dividend will be paid on 21st August at the company's 1-ankers. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said he had no remarks to make to them on the present state of the company's affair,;, other than to state that mending, and that ho hoped that wouldn()tbe such a d rag on th e i r parent , their henceforth he y were the London and North-Western, as they had hitherto been. The retiring directors having been re-elected, the meeting separated. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. —(This Day.)

Last night the prosecutor missed the clothes abo , e named from his chest. Suspicion fell upon the prisoner, who was actually wearing all the stolen articles under his own clothes. The prisoner insisted that the property taken from him was his own, and that he bought all the articles of a Jew in Rate iff-highway, on Monday. The prosecutor said he bought the trousers produced in Calcutta, and brought them to England, and the drawers and braces were purchased by him on Satur day last. The prisoner—They are all mine. Mr. Collins, the prisoner's landlord, said that Mrs. Collins lengthened the braces for the man Corner on Monday, and he could swear to them. Mr. Selfe asked the prisoner why he wore two suits of clothing yesterday, The prisoner—To keep me warm. (A. laugh.) Mr. Selfe—This is curious weather to wear extra clothing. Have you a ship ? The prisoner—Yes, sir. My ship goes away this afternoon's tide. Mr. Selfe—l fine you 155., and you had better pay it directly, or you will not be able to go away with your ship. SOUTHWARK. ROBBERY OF A VALUABLE GOLD WATCH AND CHAIN, —Two well-known females, named Collins and Cooper, were brought up for further examination, charged with stealing a valuable gold watch, chain, and locket, the property of Mr. J. Friedlander, a Prussian merchant, residing at No. 38, Finsbury-square. _ _ _ Mr. Louis Buenfield attended as interpreter, the pro secutor not being acquainted with the English lan guage. It appeared from the evidence that on Tuesday even ing the prosecutor met Cooper near the railway station, London bridge, and after treating her to some spirits in a public-house, close by St. George's Church, he accom• panied ber to Collins's house, in Reed's-row, a very low locality, at the rear of the Police-court, and then he sent the latter out for some spirits. While she was gone he partially undressed himself, placing his watch and appendages on the table, and his trowsers on a chair. Collins then returned with the spirits, and as soon as she entered the room Cooper snatched up the watch and ran off with it. He at tempted to get hold of her and stop her, but Collins kept him back. Prosecutor immediately dressed him self, and went for a constable, who returned with him, and took the prisoners into custody, but his watch was not found. Prosecutor added that he had fifty sove reigns in his trowsers pocket, which he was fortunate enough to secure. The prisoners at first protested their innocence, and the magistrate decided on committing them for trial, but after being locked up two days in gaol they altered their minds, and when brought before the magistrate to• day they pleaded guilty, leaving to the magistrate the power of dealing with them, They were accordingly c3iutuit'ed for three mo n th s each with hard labour. SRO? LIPTING.—Mary Ann Moore was charged with stealing a piece of printed cotton from the shop of Mr. Powell, linen draper, 67, Lower Marsh, Lambeth. The prosecutor said he saw the prisoner enter his shop about nine o'clock on the previous eve,ing, and snatch up a piece of printed cotton, worth eleven shil lings, which she ran out with. He pursued her and caught her near the Victoria theatre, where he gave her into custo:iy. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and it being her first ap pearance at this court for felony, Mr. Seeker committed htr for three months, under the Criminal Justice Act. THE NEW PARLIAIf ENT OF NEW SOUTH WALL'S. About 90 gentlemen will meet together on the 23d of May, in the novel corporate capacity of the first Perlia meet of New South Wales. Tney have been chosen out of the rest of the community, partly by popular suffrage, partly by Royal nomination. The special purpose of their union is to make laws. The guiding pri❑ciple which they are to follow in making these laws—the polar star which they are always to keep in view--is "the good of the country." Turn to the reports of the speeches of candidates, and in all of them, under different guise and. in varying phrase, this same senti ment will be avowed: They have scught legislative position, not from vanity or amb.tion, not from inte rested motives—certainly net from a desire to do mis chief—but with the avowed object of rendering the State some service. The nominated senators, though they may not have publicly avowed the same purity and singleness of purpose, have virtually brought them selves under the same obligation. Legislative influence was offered to them on the implied condition that it vas to be used as a sacred public trust, and their ac ceptance of it was a virtual recognition of the agree ment. Each one of the 90, before giving his vote or voice for or against any particuler measure, will consider, there fore, how it stands related to the public good, and will throw the weight of his influence on the one side or the other accordingly ; net to secure personal advautage, not to put or keep his friends in power, not to obtain distinc'ion, not to curry favour with the great, not to win a passing popularity with the mob, not to keep well with his constituency, not from spite, net even wit❑ indifference —no, but because in his honest judgment he believes it to be beat for the country. Such are the principles on which they are all going to legislate—at least such is the theory, and far be it from us to assert that it will not be realised in practice. What may net 90 such men achieve, all possessing honesty and identity of purpose, and combining in the aggregate all the re quisites of clearheadedness, good sense, acquaintance with philosophy, and knowledge of affairs ? What question is there likely to turn up that they could not satisfactorily deal with What is to prevent such ex pectations from being realised I The capabilities of the men being known, and their guiding principle being clearly avowed, what is there to stand in the way of the obvious results ? There is one danger visible in the horizon, all the more fatal becausa by many it is more likely to be courted than shunned, and that is the danger of party spirit. Have our new Parliamentary legislators, who are coming to their work with clean bands and unsophisticated purpose, considered whither the machine of responsible Government which they are going to work will lead them ? Have they at all calculated on the allowance that must. be made for the power of that party spiris which will be its certain ad junct—for the deflectiona which this new force will create in the lino of their original purpose ? Have they sett►ed with themselves how much is to be justifiably conceded in this direction, and determined what are the limits at which they will stop ; or are they leaving this delicate question of political morality to be settled here after as occasion may require, and when a severe calm• ness of judgment may be biassed by the heat of debate or the urgent solicitations of :'riends ? A strong, even a bitter party spirit, has accompanied the development of responsible Government in the mother country. The same phenomenon may reappear in New South Wales, probably will.—Sydney Ho; ing Herald. By the Royal Charter, vn Wrednes,lay, the annual re port was received of the Burra Burra Mines of South Australia, submitted at a meeting on the 16th Aril. These mines-bave now been 11 years in work, and toe yield. of ore for the past six months had been greater than in any similar • period since 1852, the amount being 5,450 tons, estimated to contain 27 per cent, of copper., l'Oe estimated surplus profit to accrue was 8 5, 65 11., ban the largest sum ever held by th e associatien,foi di v ision among the shareholders. It was therefore contemplated to declare further dividends in June and September. The various operations at the miuea were proceeding satisfactorily, and the number of persona was 688.

The gallant General entered the army in 1794, in, we believe, the 95th Foot. He served in Rolland in 1799, at Walclieren in 1809, and in the following year proceeded tc the Peninsula with his regiment, where he served until the end of that war in 181'4. He - was present at the battle of Fuentes d'Onor, the action ht Aroya de Molino, the battles of Vittoria arid the Nive, besides various minor affairs.

SUDDEN DEATH.—This morning a tnelancholy intitarce of sudden death occurred at the Euston-square station. A French gentleman, with his wife and family, arrived at the station in the course of the morning, to proceed by one of the trains. Whilst waiting on the platform he suddenly fell down and expired. Death is attributed to disease of the heart. The opening of the Brussels. exhibition of articles employed kir houtehold plirposei itideialtWalY . fixed fn. the 25th. *t4' TEST rfiv,S I'p, B 9E. At the Lambeth Vestry, last everuirg, Mr. C. It Teague in the chair, Bar. F. DOULToN called attention to the recent report of Mars. Bendel and Simpsr.n. He considered that the proposal of thee° gentlemen to strip entirely the thoroughfare over Westminster-bridge during a period of about five years, while the new bridge was construct• jug, and to provide for the traffic by diverting it over a new bridge, to be erected bsterean the Horseferry-road and Church street, Lambeth, was ono calculated to hi filet enormous injury upon the inhabitants of Lambeth, and to cause very great inconvenience to the public ge nerally. The rentarof the .property that would be di rectly affected by the arrangement was estimated at 30,000/. ; hut there was a large amount of property which would be ind;reet'y interfered with, and wbio would be seriously injured, if not destroyed. The con tract, which bad been suspended by the bankruptcy of Messrs. Mare, was for a bridge double the width of the old one, and it was stip u l a t e d that half of it should be finished and opened for traffic before the other half was commenced. -The principle was thus recognised that there should be no interference with the existing thoreuglifare ; but the.plan now proposed would leave Westiniester-read for four or five years without au out. ht. He need rot point out the inevitable result, for the vestry would see that the traffic, if diverted for ea long a period, would never return to the old route. The present condition of the bridge was dangerous in the ex treme, several of the principal supports having been cut away in the construction of the new bridge ; and there was great risk that the bridge would give way. If that were to happen, a total stoppage of the thoroughfare would occur, without any provision whatever for tempo rary accommodation to the truffle ; and the occurrence might possibly be accompanied with a great loss of life. The navigation of the river was almost prejudicially affected by the present state of the bridge, the greater number of the arches of which were entirely or partially stopped-up, and rendered nearly,or altogether impassa ble. The trading interests of Lambeth (especially of the district adjoining the existing thoroughfare over the bridge) had suffered grievously for many years. owing to the sate in which the bridge had been suffered to remain, and the apprehensions entertained for its safety ; but the injury they bad sueained would be greatly increased if the proposal now made were adopted. The result of various committees, and of a commission s pecially appointed, had b een t o decide that the existing site was the best for the new bridge ; that decision had been affirmed by Parliament, the works bad actually been commenced, and persons had therefore bought the Westmitester-bridge property, relying upon the good faith of the Government. •He (Mr. Doulton) considered that those persons bad serious grounds for complaint. Of cohere he did not o pp ose t h e erect i on of the Horse, , ferry -bridge ; on the contrary, he was convinced boeja that such a bridge was necessary, and that it could r zot be erected too soon. What he protested against was tb.e diversion of the traffic from its present line, and. be begged therefore to move the appointment of a co/unlit. tee to consider and report on the best course to be adopted under the circumstances. (Hear.) Mr. PLEWS said this was a subject on which he was not altogether without experience, for he had been con cerned in the erection of four bridges over the Thames, and he considered that the proposal of Sir B. Hall would cause a monstrous waste of public money. The plan of Mr. Page was an admirable one. His proposal, by which. cofferdams would be dispensed with, was one that would .. ere long be universally adopted, for it gave a perfectly safe foundation, and effected a large saving. Yet this able engineer was to be sacrificed to Messrs. Rendel and Simpson! He (Mr. Plews) should second the motion with a great dealef pleasure. Mr. lira TAYLOR protested-against the interests of the public being sacrificed to a fancy of Sir B. Hall. Sir Ben jamin had lately indulged in many strange whims ; and be was afraid that they would have to animadvert upon, many more. kir. Pow= regretted the opposition which had been offered to the excellent plan of Mr. Page, but they all knew with what difficulties every improvement had to contend. Tne plan of forming foundations of concrete was at first the subject of a great outcry ; people would not believe that any extensive building could be erected upon a foundation of that kind. The prejudice had, bow-. ever, long since passed away. With regard to Mr. Page' a proposed foundation for Westminster-bridge, not one y did be (Mr. Fowler) believe that it would be perfect ly sound, but ho thought that it would require a very al - de engineer indeed to destroy it when once made. The committee was then appointed nem. con. NORTH OF EUROPE STEAM COMPANY. At the half-yearly meeting of this company, held yes terday, Sir S. M. Peto in the chair, the dividend de clared was at the rate of 8 per cent, per annum. It was announced that the Earl of Yarborough has been corn-, pelled to retire from the direction in consequence of ill, health. The progress of operations was stated to be of the most satisfactory character, the opening of the Baltic trade having been attended with very adv tageous' results. An increase of dividend, it is inti mated, cannot, however, be expected this year, itince the . outlay to secure the traffic has been on a large nate. The company have now five vessels on charter to main tain their trade, and it is considered that it will be essen tial to augment the fleet to that extent at least, to pre vent other parties from entering the field. The routes now occupied, with the exception of that from Grimsby to Hamburg, have all been profitable, and :the directors, following out a policy which they have adoi 'tea from the first, have discontinued the vessels between those ports. During the last six months there has bee a a total ex emption from loss, or any casualty which it I's necessary to detail, and the steady development of freig ht and pa-- senger traffic shows the solid and remunerattv e nature of the relations es•ablished. In ar ewer to questLsns it was mentioned that the vessels engaged in the Illack Eea had been insured in the ordinary manner, but that those employed in the service of the company had been placed at average rates upon the general insurance fund, which amounted last Christmas to 4,7001., but is now upwards of 10,2001. As it is contemplated im mediately tr) take the necessary measures for placing the affairs of the company under the operation of the Limited Liability Act, the directors intend calling up the remainder of the capital to provide additional 'Ves sels of a class which shall ho able fully to carry out the requirements of the Baltic tradr, Reference was made to the employment of two of the boats of the company in the competitive route of Ramsgate and Margiste ; but it was explained that the directors are guaran ieed against loss, the charters being based on au arra age merit which insures a remunerative return. At the close of the proceedings a special resolution was passed authorising the directors to place the company under limited liability, and it was announced that two calls of 21. 10s. each will be shortly made. Capt. Andrews, the managing director, in acknowledging a vote of thanks, stated a belief that the trade with St. Petersburg may he rapidly extended. With a class of steam ars built on the principle already adopted in the service, the cotnpany will be able to reach the quays of that city and take freight without the intervention of lighters or the other means adopted in the channel passe •• ge front Cronstadt. Through the arrangements in progress the trtde between Flensburg and St. Petersburg will be greatly accelerated, and relatiOns with the Danish Initmay enabling the establishment of an expeditiens communication. With vessels of the character proposed the company will eventually compete with ordinary sailing craft, the difference in time allow ing them to work fir as low a rate of freight. Between London and St. Petersburg the _interval may be reduced to five days ; and, as France is expected to open a route (ruin Dunkirk in the same direction at no distant date, the wittee:tra-le of the Baltic and the Meci:terranean will, accordine to the views of Captain Andrews, be hereafter ConduCted by steamers, instead of sailing yes eels. As practically i lustrating the possibility of taking steamer up to St.. Pettraburg, Captain Andrews men tioned that curing his recent visit to the Baltic he pro ceeded with a vessel of the company t:, that destination. AN ACT .OF GRATITUD.r. A lettor from Berlin relates the following in teresting anecdote -- "A few days ago a hale old man, in a peasant's cos tume, but decorated with several erders and crosses, was seen to ascend the flight of steps leading to the ter race of the palace of Sans-Souci. A sentinel po s t e d there stopped him, informing him that he could not be allowed to go further, as the palace \\ l as inhabited by the Empress of Russia. Why, that's the very reason I must go on,' replied the veteran sturdily. An alteren tionensued, which was interrupted by the arrival of Colonel Count Von Alventleben, first equerry to the Empresz, who asked what was the matter. Thu old man replied. that he had walked nine Gerinan miles to •Bee the Empress before his death, he having saved her in her youth from a watery grave. On learning this, the Count bid him wait, and having informed the Em press of ate occurrence was ordered to introduce him. The veteran approached the Empress with a firm step, and then exclaimed : I recegnise her well, though she is much changed.' He then reminded her Majesty o f nf an occurrence which took place in 1806, in the private Charlottenburg, where the late King used f t a o passpark the summer, living there in the style wee one day Charlotte, and only 7 years l o . gentleman. The Empress of R f ussm e then Princess piece o'f water, called the Carp-basin, with her ri li., playing near the ornamen d ta l Fist% Princess Alexan drina, and her brother ba Prince chair, n in which exercise she drawing along not far off called to her, warn aotanhedruttyoo near the .water's edge.

The Princess, in a fright, stepped back, slipped, s ad fell into the water. The sentinel instantly plunged in after her, got her safely out, and dragging the go-cart aloe g with him, Princess Alexandrina running by his side and o crying all t h e w hi le, carried her dripping Wet as She was to Queen Louisa, who was sitting before the palace, reading. ' The Queen, on learning what had happened,,bent over her child, took from her neck a Small medallion containing a lock of her (the Queen's) hair, and gave ii to the gti:,r+lsmlm. This. same medal lion the •veteran now showed to the Empress, whe, im ruecliately recollecting the occurrence, with deep emotion 'requested 'him 'to restore to her 9 the medallion with her mother's hair, nod turning to Prin cess Gagarine, her lady of honour, detacheelherown portrait set in diamonds (an ornament which t h e ladies of the Russian court generally wear as a mar k of s p e cial I dy, and gave it to affection) from the bosom of that delighted and proud, the old guardsman, who went away ehogstopped had mi, o tee that, yen and in passing by the sentinel ,wp showed him the trinket, saying , stupid fellow C a nt, um all we le ip- eg, Ild 'al fi t ; 71i - x d St 1( St It Li I A] i 15 100 99 10 - 1361 112 i 4; 4 52 1 114 i pm pro
