The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed with an improving tendency, and compared with lii riday'a rates prices of low American were Id. dearer ; other sorts commanded extreme rates. The sales were estimated at 12,000 bales, and con sisted of 500 for export and 2,000 on speculation (American), 400 Pernambuco and Maranham at qd. to 7d., 350 Bahia at 6/d. to 61d., 600 Egyp tian at 60. to 1.1 d., 800 Surat at 41d. to 4/d., and Sea Islands at 10-hd. to 2s. 4d. per lb. The Railway Share Market was brisk, with an apparent trance. a Commercial advices from the principal manufac turing towns and ports in France during the past week show that trade continued in a very uncer tain state. On all sides preparations were being made for the expected revival of business this week 'Pon the announcement of the re-establishment of P e ace. A. further impetus to trade was expected to result from the anticipated reduction of the rate of discount by the B a nk of France. On the other haul there has been a check given to the extent of () feign orders by the extraordinary rise in the value e t raw materials for manufactures, at present, in first hands. This advance in prices, which ranges f r om 20 to 25 per cent. on previous quotations, 1 8 Submitted to by purchasers for the. home trade of France, as it occurs frequently at Periods of commercial activity, but foreigners who can hold on prefer waiting or reducing their orders until prices become lower. This increase exists in "e material for fabrics of all kinds, more especially silk, Wool, and cotton. At Lyons and the chief nas aufacturing towns sales are not very active, but sto cks o n h an d are b e i ng re d uce d, w hi c h w i l l o p en the trade for summer novelties. At Paris the manu facturers in fancy articles have received additional orders, but these are limited on account of the dull ness of the season. This, however, is comparing the Bale of luxuries, bijonteries, bronzes, d;:c., with last L ea r) when the influx of foreigners visiting the universal Exposition increased the sale in those articles beyond any year previously. D Tne arrivals o f specie by the Africa from the n ited States, and the La Plata, West India and Mexican ma il- pa cket, amounts to about 729,6231. The official returns relating to the trade and na l'igation of the United Kingdom for the month ring February 29, 1856, have been published. om these it appears that the total declared value of exhorts e xPerte for the month was 7,725,7471., being an increase of 2,693,3311., compared with the like month of 1855.

AN IRISH Row.—A costermonger, named John Col lins, his wife, mother-in-law, and sister, were placed at the bar this morning, charged with stabbing a woman named Johanna Carrs. From the evidence of the injured woman it appeared that sbe and a female companion were drinking some beer in a public-house in Wild-street last evening, when the man Collins entered and took up the pint pot out of which the women had been drinking, and threw the con tents into the face of the woman Carry, and struck her a violent blow with the pewter pot. A row ensued, which ended in the tran being given into custody. A crowd of Irish women and boys followed the parties to the station-house, amongst which were the wife of Collins and the other prisoners. After the charge had been preferred against Collins it was found necessary, in order to protect Cares from the threats of the women, for her to leave the station-house by the side door. Carrs and her companion had proceeded but a short distance from the court when she was overtaken by the wife of Collins and the other women, who commenced violently to assault her. A crowd soon Assembled, and the five women commenced fighting. During the broil some of the bystanders called out that the woman Collins had a knife, and on Caere getting up from the pavement it was discovered she had received a number of cuts al wet the head and face of so serious a character that it was deemed advisable to take her to the hospital, and . m the arrival of the police Collins was conveyed to the s'lstion-house. As she was being taken there, Cair3 and her daughter atternp'ed to rescue her from the police. Assistance was procured, and the three women were- eventually locked up. A witness depot ed to seeing a knife in the hand of the woman Collins. Oa the prisoners being called upon for their defence, Carry said that (leers commenced the assault first by striking her with a, hammer. The woman Collins denied that she used a k Rife, and the other prisoners said they had been drinking. Mr. Henry fins Kit Collins, his wife, and mother, five pounds each, or six weeks' imprisonment, and the younger girl he fined twenty shillings, or fourteen days' imprisonraeat.

The national ball of sport is once more sat going in earnest, and the most gratifying proofs are afforded that it acquires strength in going. Doncaster, with its spring attractions, is again about to have a turn, and Thirsk will follow closely. Professionally turfites are continually in a state of transition—flitting from meet ing to meeting all over the country. lii the course of the afternoon the room was nume rously attended, but " paying and receiving" chiefly oc cupied the attention. Shortly after four o'clock many of the members left for Doncaster. Th• betting, although limited, was marked by two or three movements of importance. Cannobie was backed for the Metropolitan at 4 and 5 to 1, and at 1000 to 25 and 1000 to 30 for the Derby; at first 7 to x was taken to nearly 1001. about Van Galen, but at the close 10 to 1 was laid. The current price did net, however, exceed 100 to 12. Pyrrha was backed with some spirit at 20 to 1. For the Two Thousand 2 to 1 was taken about Fly by-Night, who was so closely pressed by Yellow Jack that 100 CUD was betted on Jack against him. A few investments were made on Bird-in-Hand at 7 and 8 to 1. The principal bets on The Derby were 500 even on Fly-by-Night against Wentworti, and the same against Elliagten.

Spirit of the Public Journals. (From the Morning Herald.) " Why laughest thou, 0 Charon?" Every admirer of Lucien will remember the ad dress of Mercury to the grim ferryman of the Styx, whom he had encountered when out on a " day rule," and taking a stroll through the streets of Athens. As soon as Charon could speak for laughter he replied that he had just heard a man accept an in vitation to dinner, and that instantly a tile fell from the roof and killed him—" so I laughed." If there be any beings now walking the earth with feelings akin to those of the grisly boatman— of combined contempt and loathing for the human race and for their ghastly wars, or still more ghastly pacifications, what a glorious laugh must they have had in contemplating the proceedings of the " Peace Conferences" at Paris, where a conclave of statesmen—"sly slow things, with circutnTective eyes"—gravely performed an operation akin to that of the sluttish housewife, who sweeps the dirt under a corner of the carpet, and thinks, or feigns to think, because it is hidden it is removed. "Oh, cfeca wens hominum." If this is the re sult, are not the rulers of England guilty before Heaven of all the useless bloodshed, and worse, which has made desolate so many households in the east and west of Europe ? Well may the satirist say of those administrators— " Not one looks backward—onward still he goes; Nor e'er looks forward farther than his nose." Not one of them perceives that the sore is only cicatrised, and that the "foul corruption mining all within" must sooner or later break out, when perhaps the patient may be too exhausted to en dure the drain. One hundred and one guns broke the silence of Sunday night with the announcement of a peace of such a nature that a second like unto it would be more ruinous to the nation than the most destruc tive war in which these realms have ever been en gaged. - As the Conferences were conducted in secrecy the announcement was appropriately conveyed in the darkness of the night. Well might it be so ; they who conducted them love the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds are evil. Let us now consider what we have gained and what we have lost ; whom we have aided ; whom we have be trayed ; and for what purpose we have sacrificed lives innumerable, and millions yet uncounted and yet unpaid, during the sanguinary burlesque of the last two years. We went to war nominally because Russia had laid her grasp upon the territories of her neigh bour. We were determined—so at least we said— to uphold the independence of the Sultan and the integrity of the Turkish empire. The confiding Turk whose word has always been his bond, be lieved and trusted in our professions. he allowed our fleets to enter his harbours ; he put his for tresses in possession of our armies ' • he placed the greatest general in E uro p e an d a fine army at our disposal ; and fearfully have we betrayed this con fidence. Take first the original cause of the war —the Principalities. We are ready to make any change, any alteration in their constitution except that which plain common sense and plain common honesty would point out as the true one. We would divide them, if such a division would weaken them, for Russia or Austria; we would bind them together if it would strengthen them against the Porte. We were ready to have deprived the Sultan of them alogether, although we knew that their cession would be a breach of hospitality upon his part which his religion forbids him to commit ; we would, in fact, have done everything and anything except place them in the position which Servia has occu pied to her own advantage for so many years, lying under the suzerainty of the Porte, with her fron tier fortresses occupied by Turkish troops for their defence against foreign aggres , ion. Obstacles, moral or physical, were as nothing to us ; ancient allegiance we broke down ; but we have since raised a range of mountains in Bessarabia which have vanished to make way for a commission of in quiry. Will not the example of the treaty of Gulistan, in which we pledged the honour of Eng land for the faith of Russia, who, in the natural course of events, laughed in the face of England, and kept the lands which she was pledged to see restored to Persia—will not this, we say, open their eyes to what the faith of Russia is worth T Alas, it will not. Eyes have they, and. see not ; ears have they, and hear not. Scientific diplomatists ! they can discern the face of the sky, but cannot understand the signs of the times. Thus have we contrived to sacrifice, in one point, both the independence and integrity of that ally in support of whom we called God to witness we took up arms in good faith. We shall return again to other instances of our bad faith to Turkey, and to that future punish ment which that bad faith must brini , upon our heads, merely premi s i ng th a t w h a t we have' alluded to above is neither the last nor the worst. That such is the case will be shown by the unanswerable proof which it is in our power to give, that the treaty of the Bth of May, 1854—now to be abro- gated by a most scandalous breach of faith—was absolutely entered into at a moment when mea- sures had been taken and despatches written which would render the forfeiture of our pledged faith an absolute and inevitable necessity. Naval and Military Intelligence. Our Malta correspondent, in his letter of th• 26th ult., gives the following account of arrivals and depar tures of ves-els "The Malcolm Brown and Arabella schooners, with Government stores and merchandise, arrived from Lon don on the 24th, and during the past three dap a whole fleet of colliers have come in. " The City of London steam-transport arrived from Leghorn on the 22d. "The Africa schooner arrived on the 24th. " The Great Britain steam-transport arrived on the 24tla from Genoa, bringing Cols.

The Great Britain returned on the 25th for the 3d Rifle Regiment, which is incomplete, further enlist ment in Italy having been suspended, and so has like wise the purchase of mules in Spain, according to a pub lic notice posted up at Gibraltar. "The Hydaspes, the Sarah Sands, and the Norman screw steam-transports, with the troops and horses they brought from England, left for Constantinople on the 23d ; and likewise the Marley Hill steam-transport, with clothing. The Sarah Sands also embarked, at Malta, Capt. Guise, Lieuts. Barrell anti Knight, of the 50th ; Mr. CAreux, and 42 privates of the 92,1.

"The schooner yachts Mariquita and the Dream ar rived on the 25th from Algiers. "Her Majesty's steam-packet Caradoc arrived from Marseilles on the 23d, and leaves shortly for Alexan dria, to be at the disposal of the Eirl of Dalhousie, the Governor-General returning from India. By the Cara doo accounts were received of the birth of the anxiously looked-for heir to the Throne of France, and accordingly on the following morning a Te Deum was chanted at the Carmelite church, at which, on the invitation of the French Consul, the British and naval authorities, the officers of the British and French ships of war in port, and the foreign consuls attended. The ships of war in port dressed in colours, those of England displaying conspicuously the tricolor, and those of France the St. George's ensign of England. At noon the Prince Jerome fired a grand imperial salute of 101, and all the British ships of war a Royal Salute of 21 guns. The Royal standard of England was hoisted at the palace flagstaff and on several other public establi-shments, and the Union Jack on every fort throughout the island. All the foreign Consuls hoisted their national colours, and every merchant ship in port was dressed out with tele graph flags innumerable. "The French postal steam-packet Mersey arrived from Marseilles on the 24th, and left for Syra, Slur") and Constantinople on the same day. "The French postal steamer Hellespont arrived at Malta from Marseilles on the 26th. "The Sinai French postal steamer arrived on the 26th from Constantinople, Smyrna, and Syra.

"The Gulliver steamtug left for Constantinople on the 24th, and at the same time the EglintetisteamerfOr the same destination. " The Prince of Wales screw steamer, from London, left for Constantinople on the 25th. !! The Ottoman Elm litter a! liCekboi arrived from Lives-pool on the 26th, wit a general cargo for Constan tinople." The screw despatch gunboat Intrepid, Commander Wood, having sailed! rom Woolwich on Saturday last for Portsmouth, was swung at Greenhithe to undergo the 'customary regulations before proceeding to sea, when it was discovered that a considerable quantity of water had entered from a leak, supposed to be in some part of her bull. Information to that effect was conveyed the same evening to the dockyard at Woolwich, and an inspection of the vessel speedily took place. She was towed up to Woolwich by the steamer Monkey, Master- Commander Syndecombe, and subjected to the requisite overhaul on Sunday, but it appears that no satisfactory conclusion sufficient to account for the defect has as yet been obtained. She was again ordered down the river on trial, for the purpose of watching the working of her screw, as it was imagined the fault lay in that direction. The gun-boat Mastiff, No. 22, took up her moorings yesterday off the Arsenal at Woolwich from Deptford, to be stored with ammunition and to join the flotilla at Portsmouth. The gun-boat Procrie, launched at Northffeet, arrived on Saturday at Woolwich, and was admitted into the fitting basin yesterday morning. The gun-boat Grappler, which arrived at Woolwich likewise on Saturday from Blackwell, was received into the fitting basin at Wool wich at the same time. A new mortar float has likewise been received at Woolwich, of the same kind as the for mer six, which are now ready for service. Two others of the same class are to arrive there to mozrow. 156 non-commissioned officers and privates of the 10th battalion Royal Artillery have been paraded at head quarters, Woolwich, and passed examination for foreign service, 80 of whom, commanded by Capt. Morris, R.A.,. are to embark in a day or two on board the transport Estcourt for Quebec, and the remainder, 76, under the command of Lieut. Watts, R A., will leave Woolwich, by the Lady Amherst, for Halifax, to make up casual. ties which have occurred in the ranks of the Royal Artillery corps stationed in the above-named places. In consequence of the instructions issued from the Horse Guards great exertions are being made by the military authorities at Chatham to have the whale of the infantry stationed at that garrison instructed in the theory and practice of the Enfield rifle. The whole of the non-commissioned officers and men belonging to the depot of the sth Northumberland Fusiliers, under the command of Captain W. Lyons, have completed their course of instruction in the rile practice, and are ready to be draughted to various stations for the purpose of instructing the troops. Yesterday Colonel Jervis, com mandant of the Provisional Battalion, selected 84 non commissioned officers and men from the various depots at the Provisional Battalion to be instructed in the use of Vie Enfield ride. The following were the depots whis'i furnished men for this duty—viz., the 35th, 40th, and 52d Light Infantry ; 75th, 83d, and 87th Royal Irish Fusiliers. The whole of the above are relieved from the ordinary garrison ditty and placed under the super intendence of Captain W. Nott, fi3d Regiment, the in structor of musketry at Chatham ; and, as soon as they have obtained a competent knowledge of the rise of that important weapon, they will be prepared to be Bent to the several British stations for the purpose of instructing the troops on the home service. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty : W. J. Mainprise, to be Master Attendant of the Malta dockyard ; John F. Mitchell, to bo Acting As sistant-Surgeon to the Hastings. It is understood that the British German Legion, which has been raised by Baron Stutterheim to meet the exigencies of the war, will be sent, now that peace has been concluded, to the Cape of Good Hope. At the Cape they will garrison the colony, and officers and men will receive grants of land for their military ser vices. Colonel Worldridge's brigade will return from Scutari, and form part of the force at Aldershot camp before embarkation for the Cape. The strength of the force will muster by about the 10th of April, when all the recruits en route will be delivered, about 9,000 men. The justice and liberality of thus disposing of the Ger mans is unquestionable. Most of the officers have thrown up their commissions and pro.pects of advance. ment i❑ the Austrian, Prussian, Hanoverian, and Bava- rian armies for the purpose of serving England, and, having got away with great difficulty, they would never be received back again into their former service. And as for the men, irthey were disbanded, thousands of them would not be allowed to return to their homes ; and if they attempted to go bask they would be pent). cuted, if not imprisoned. It is a matter of goad policy also to provide for and keep the German Legion in 'our service, for on any future emergency, east or west, they would be available ; and the fact of their having been so liberhlly dealt with will have the yery best effect throughout Germany, from which, should another war arise, treble the number of men might be easily recruited.

WRIGHT, THE ComsDrarr.--The greatest excitement prevailed in the Strand last evening, in consequence of the sudden and unexpected closing of the Adelphi Theatre. From inquiries made at the theatre by the reporter it was learned that Mr. Wright had entered the house but a few minutes, and while in company with his dresser that he was suddenly perceived to be attacked by the most alarming symptoms, which rendered him all but insensible. Two medical gentlemen were promptly in attendance, who deemed it advisable that he should be at ohce taken home. In company with the two medical gentlemen, he was conveyed to the stage door, and taken with all possible speed to his residence at Chelsea. It was thought by the employes of the theatre that the illness was attributable to a violent attack of determi. nation of blood to the heed. The theatre, in cones- , gum*, was At ones closed. ! 4,~ ~ ~~~:% - LITERATURE. Contemporary Memoirs of Russia, from the Year 1727 to 1744. By General Christopher Her mann V. Maustein. Longman, Brown, Green, and Longinans. A contribution towards the history of Russia, and of the nations with which she had dealings in the above eventful period, by a Russian officer of distinction ; deemed of suffi c i en t i m p or t ance to b e edited in Eglish by David Hume, iu his time, and after being re-edited collated with the ori g i na l French, and illustrated with brief notes, to be again presented to the English public by a Hert fordshire Incumbent. In short, a valuable aid to the historical student ; and far from ill-timed, even at the present hoar, when a check having been administered to Russian aggression, peaoe is all but proclaimed with that country. The next thing to be looked for is an attempt by Rus sian partisans at home to show that nothing was ever to be seriously apprehended from Muscovite ambition, and that th e war was a cos tl y combat with a chimera of our own imagination. The reader has but to peruse these pages to be tho roughly armed against any such insidious and traitorous attempt. He will then discover in the revelation made by the writer of the hideous self fishness and reckless immorality of the Russian Court and the policy which it pursued towards Turkey, Persia, Poland, and Sweden a century ago, a reason for regret that peace was concluded so early and on such easy terms, rather than occa sion for surprise that hostilities were ever entered on. That so far from combating a Conservative power the Allies—in waging war with Russia con fronted the aggressive march of the most frightful barbarism that ever menaced the liberties and civili sation of Europe. The Mormons at Home. By Mrs. B. G. Ferris. New York : Dix and Edwards. London: Samp son Low, Son, and Co. Just the sort of work we have been anxious to see—a brief, clear, and unexaggerated revelation of the domestic workings of the Mormon. system, of whic`i polygamy is now avowedly, though long de nied, an important item. The writer accompanied her husband, newly appointed to the United States Secretaryship for Utah, to the Mormon capital, where they resided during the winter, and she had abundant opportunity of lifting up the veil which conceals the inevitable consequences of the spiritual wife system from the gaze of passing observers ; and most painful are her revelations. All honest womanhood is described as crushed beneath a load of wretchedness and misery, and such of the male population as are not mere dupes, only fit for tko meridian of Norfolk Island. A society of fanatics controlled by a gang of licentious villains." "The effect of the Mormon creed is evidently to gather together a low class of villains, and a still lower class of dupes, an I it follows that the latter are easily governed. The only disturbing element is that the villains may quarrel among themselves, and so far as I can learn this has hap pened on more than one occasion." " One scarcely knows whether to be amazed most at the profane 1 profligacy of the leaders or the superstitious credu lity of the dupes." Such are the comments of the author, an American lady, on the exhibition of Mormonism "at home." Besides penetrating the mysteries of the harems of Utah, Mrs. Ferris availed herself of the opportunity afforded by the position of her husband to give us life-like portraits of some of the principal Mormon leaders, including the arch -rascal Brigham Young, with whom they were brought in contact in the transaction of business. The chief characteristic of the book is the evident truthfulness and honesty of purpose of the writer ; and her revelations, being transmitted in letters to her friends at home, have all the vividness of first i'.npressions. In addition to the details of her ex periences in Utah, the reader is presented with a graphic narrative of some incidents of travel in her journey from Missouri to Utah, and from thence to California. Altogether the book is one which will well repay perusal, and cannot be too, extensively circulated among those classes more especially open to the arts of the rascally Mornion missionaries in this country. The Mercantile and Maritime Guide. By Graham Willa:lore, Esq., M.A., and Edwin Bedell, Esq. W. Mackenzie. A clear and compendious treatise, or series treatises, setting forth the rights and obligations of the mercantile and maritime communities in a popular and reliable form. A work which, it is not too much to say, it will be to the interest of the members of both to have by them for consultation in order to the satisfactory prosecution of business. In it will be found a lucid exposition of the law affecting them arising from the custom of merchants, the decisions of Courts, and the enactments of the Legislature ; together with the orders and regula tions bearing upon shipping, upon foreign and home trade, issued by Government boards, and other competent authorities ; and a fund of practi cal information upon miscsllaneous matters of fact. Nothing, in short, appears to be wanting which it is essentially necessary to the welfare of merchants, shipowners, masters, mates, seamen, agents, and brokers, in their respective business capacities and relations to know. When, therefore, it is remem bered how multifarious, and otherwise difficult of access such knarledge is, and what will arise from the want of it, the value of a manual so compen dious and so carefully elaborated, and easily to be comprehended as this is, becomes obvious, amd enough has been done to secure aready and general acceptance of the "Mercantile and Maritime Guide." Wine Duties. 13y W. Bosville James. Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans. An able reply to Sir James Emerson Tennant en " Wine : Its Taxation and Uses." The author discusses the question both on financial and social grounds, and succeeds in showing, among other things, that Government, by the perpetuation of the prohibitory duties on French wines, shuts out from our manufacturers a most promising field of commerce, numbers of our operatives from remu nerative employment, insures bad wino for home consumption, and confines the population to bever ages the use of which is more or less injurious to health and morals, and, consequently, to the wel fare of society. The wine duties are coining daily into more prominence ; and those, pion) particu larly, who are desirous of acquiring a competent knowledge of the subject to enable them to form an opinion and take a course of action thereon, will do well to purchase this work and master its contents. --- Hints to Horsemen. By Harry Hiecver. T. C. Newby. A valuable handbook, which ought to be in the possession of all parties engaged or interested in the breeding, training, or selection of horses for sale, or having horses to buy or sell, showing as it does how money may be made of horses, besides giving useful general information respecting these animals, and on equestrian matters generally. What sorts to buy, what sorts to breed from, what to look for, what to avoid, when to sell, and how to sell to ad vantage—on these and other heads the reader will find a good deal of trustworthy information. It is scarcely necessary to remark that " Harry Hie over" is considered as authority in such matters, having already supplied a n um b er of valuable and, popular contributions to our sporting literature. ROYAL INSTITUTE OF BEITISE A.MITEITI. —Las night, at a general meeting of the members of this society, held at their house in Grosvenor-street, Earl de Grey presiding, the Royal gold medal of the institute for 1855 was presented by the chairman in a complimea. tary speech to Mr. Tite, the member for B a th, an d a Fellow of the Institute. Mr. Donaldean afterwards read an interesting paper on the triumphal arches of Rome. Silver medals were also presented to Messrs. T. A. Brit ton L. R. Roberts, and T. C. S or b y , an d a pr i ze i n books to Mr. C. N. Beazley. Mr. F. Marrable was elected a Fellow, and Messrs J.K. Coiling, J. C. Scoles, and T. R. Smith, Associate of the Institutes. THE LATE SEVERE GALE IN THE BLACK SEA.—eom- STANTINOPLE, March 20.—The British barques Altai& of Gloucester, Captain Wetheran, and General Chasse, of Bristol, both laden with hay for the British Govern ment., at Bristol for this port, were driven on shore on the point of Kournbournou, coast of Troy, opposite Tenedos, on the morning of the 7th March, during a heavy gale at south, and soon after bilged, and filled ; they have both been surveyed, and condemned as wrecks. The loss of a British vessel at Eupatoria, but not her name, is reported here. several disasters are said to have occurred on the coasts of the Black Sea, from Sulina downwards. Assistance is being sent off as far as Iniada. The weather has been very boisterous and bad for more than a week. DEATH OF A M1131111.---On Saturday, Thomas Harri son, who was reputed to be in the most abject poverty, expired in an obscure lodging on Great Saffron-bill. During an occupation extending over a quarter of a century, he never associated with any of the neighbours —he went out every morning at 8 o'clock, and returned in the evening, and it was considered that he touted for employment as a porter. About ten days since he was taken alarmingly ill, when he called for the assistance of a neighbour, who advised that a medical gentle man should be sent for, and also that his friends should be made acquainted with his case ; both of which were attended to, and some relatives—who are in cagy circumstances—in St. George's-in -the East, at tended, and had the old man, who is nearly 70 years of age, made comfortable, and supplied his wants. Shortly before his death, he added a codicil to his will, which he had deposited in a-secure place. It was ascertained that he bequeathed upwards of 7,0001. in Coasols to his rola. tions, not one of whom he had seen for 89 years, and to the kind neighbour who attended him he left 200/, ~_ I 5 5 20 10 20 5 2f) 18 20 25 Lou .00 20 26 A() 20 100 100 100 20 20 20 104 25 10 all 14 4, al! 22t 9j 14 14 FOR 53i 161 i 10) 981 P 6t 14i i 9a 76 all all 10:) 100 1341 ~..~.
