MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is an abundant supply of money in the general discount market, and the rates are a little • easier. The bullion operations at the Bank yesterday comprised an influx of £39,000 in bar gold, and the withdrawal of 40,000 sovereigns. There was no material alteration in the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon. Since Monday last the imports of specie have amounted to £1,043,000, and the exports to £493,600, allowing a balance of £549,500 in favour of this country. The silver market during the week has been very active, and large sales have been effected for Bom bay, at prices ranging from 611 d. to 61 7-16 d. per oz. standard. The amount now on hand is very limited. The Bombay steamer leaving Southamp ton on 27th inst., will have a large amount of specie on board. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris, this day, according t o Mr. Rmter's telegram, the French 3 per Cant. Rentes were 67f. sc. Heavy. There is very little alteration to notice to-day in the Market for the English Funds, which, however, continue firm, notwithstanding the paucity of business. The tendency is favourable, owing to the improving aspect of monetary affairs both here and in Paris. Consols are 93 for trans fer, and 93,1- / for the account. Transac tions have taken place in the New Threes and Reduced Annuities at 91/ the 5 per Cents. 108/ ; India 5 per Cents., 1094 ; Enfaced 4 per Cents., 98 * ; do. 5 per Cents., 1071 ; do. 54 per Cents., ; and Exchequer Bills, Is. dis. to 28. prem. In the Foreign Market there has been less activity and the variations in prices, except for Portuguese, Which are better, have been unimportant. Portu guese 3 per Cents., 1853, have advanced to 491 is,-; ditto, 1862, to 494 -a, and the New Loan to 1/ 2 premium. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1854, are 92 93; do., 1858, 70.1 ; I; do., 1862, 71/ ; do., Consolides, 53/ ; Greek, 30/ 31; Spanish Passive, 35a y ; do., Certificates, 13f 4 ; Mexican, 42* d ; and the Confederate Loan, 64 66.

The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been of the most limited description, but in several instances prices have exhibited increased heaviness.

LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCFOI3ER 24, 1861 POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day Prophecies for the Cambridgeshire. Illustrated Sporting News. We have no other alternative but to adhere to our last week's selection—Catch'em Alive, Limosina, and Roman Bee, to furnish the victor, and to back for places. If we have any preference it is for the Irish horse. OBSERVER --The Giving every consideration to the respective chances of all the starters, I cannot help thinking that the result of the Cambridgeshire will be in favour of Limosina or Slimmer aide, and next to them I expect to find Port Royal, Despair, and Carnival. VATICINATOR—Sunday Times. We build our hopes on Carnival, Gemma, Exchequer, Port Royal, and Summerside, setting aside Limusina and Catch 'am Alive, the first and second favourites. Our final award must be—Exchequer 1, Port Royal 2, and Summerside 3, expecting Carnival to be close behind. FLY BY-NIGHT— Weekly Times. At this writing no one candidate presents such a formi• dable appearance as Limosina, and for her alone shall I 4 6 plump," and her commendable performance yesterday week back in the Cesarewitch Stakes sully justifies such confidence. TOUCHSTONE—Era. As the money is now-a-day s the great criterion to follow in picking out the probable winners of big races, we shall place the first three as f o ll ows :—Limosina Grimshaw), 1; Catch' em-Alive (S. Adams), 2 ; Port Royal (Crouch), 3. BEACON—Sporting Gazette. I believe Carisbrook, Exchequer, B athilde, Limosina, Catch 'em Alive, Despair, and Port Royal, will form the front divi• sion in this great contest, and in selecting two to stand upon outright, they must be Catch'ern-Alive and Despair. RHYMING RlCHARD—Sporting Gazette. Many have claims which I name not at all, On two alone shall my fiat fall— Limosina, peerless, and Carnival I Bell's Life. We can come to no other conclusion than that public running points most distinctly to Limosina as the winner; but at the same time we cannot help noticing that one of the s trongest and cleverest parties on the Turf are backing Catch 'era Alive for a great deal of money, and there is just the chance that Lord Stamford's mare will on Tuesday next meet a second Lioness, for Catch'em is backed as freely as the latter was, and the performances of the two were equally bad till these weights appeared. VANGUARD —Sporting Pilot. we shall, indeed, be much mistaken if either Catch 'em Alive, Roman Bee, or The Comet do not turn out the suc cessful hero of the 25th Cambridgeshire Stakes tussle ; and we are quite prepared to see Exchequer run a good horse, too. AUGUR—Sporting Life. I shall range on my side Carisbrook, Summerside, Limo sina, Jack of Hearts, Catch 'em Alive, Roman Bee, Tolurno, and Comet. Setting this lot down, let me record a final vote in favour of Limosina and Summerside—next to whom we m ay see Carisbrook and Comet. BOW. STREET. ROBBING TILE MESSRS. ROUTLEDGE,--The two men Lacy and Banks were placed at the bar on remand charged, the former with stealing and the latter receiving, eight books, the property of Messrs. Routledge and Co., value £2 2s. 6d. Mr. Gammon appeared for the prosecution. Mr. Wake. ling defended Banks, and Mr. Lewis the prisoner Lacy. The books in question, it will be recollected, were stolen from the warehouse, and sold to a person named Holder, a bookseller in the Strand, and were seen by Mr. Routledge exposed for sale in the window so soonafter their publica tion that it was impossible they could have been honestly come by. He made some inquiries as to how be became possessed of the property, when he said he had purchased them of a man named Banks, and that they had been brought to his shop by a porter named Lacy. The former evidence having been read over, Mr.Wakelin said he should like to put a question to Holder. The witness said, in reply, Banks had been in the book trade for years, and was always considered an honest man. For the last three or four months he had often brought books for sale. 'Would swear that it was either Thursday, the Bth of October, or the following Friday that Banks called. His house had not been searched by the police. By Mr. Lewis—Since the last examination, Mr. Bell, of the firm of Bell and Daldy, Fleet-street, had called and pointed out some books in his shop window as their property. Ile told him he had purchased them of Banks. Ackrill, the police-constable, said he had frequently seen both prisoners together. He did not state that on the last occasion, because he was not asked. He had been watching the prisoners for some time. Mr. Lewis applied on the part of Lacy to be admitted to bail. Mr. Wakeling said, as bail had been refused for Lacy, he did not suppose it was of any avail his asking for bail for Banks. He could call two or three witnesses. Mr. Corrie—To show where he purchased the books ? Mr. Wakeling—Not so much as that. (Laughter.) Mr. Corrie—l think the case a very clear one, and I shal not accept bail. Committed for trial accordingly. EMBEZZLEMENT BY A CLERK —Charles Newton, a collector lately in the employ of Messrs. Firmin, wholesale button makers in the Strand, was again placed at the bar charged with embezzlement. Two or three cases wero proved on the former occasion, and this morning a young man from Mr. Gody, tailor, Pall-mall, proved the purchasing a sword of the Messrs. Firmin, payment for which had been made to the prisoner, who gave his receipt accordingly. No entry of the trans action appeared in the books of the firm. The prisoner pleaded guilty to the whole of the charges, and said he did not take the money with any intention of stealing, He had unfortunately used some money belong ing to his employers, and on the day he wag taken into cus tody he had been trying to borrow of his friends to make up a certain sum, but he had failed. MARLBOROTJGII-STREET. NIGHT CAB HORSES AND CABS.—Maurice White, of 1, Chapel-place. Russell-square, horsekeeper, was charged before Knox, by Mr. Wm. Love, chief officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with cruelly illtreating a horse by using it, attached to cab 3,042, in an unfit state, and the prisoner was further charged by Hum, 344 A, with being drunk and incapable. Hum, 344 A, deposed to seeing the prisoner sitting on the box of hie cab, in Coventry-street, and on speaking to him he found that he was drunk, and totally incapable of taking care of the horse and cab. While he was speaking to the prisoner one of the officers of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals came up and examined the horse. He (Hum) then tsok the prisoner,to the station, and the officer of the society took the horse to the Green yard. Simeon Sell deposed that while in Coventry-street with Rutherford, another officer of the society, he saw the last witness speaking to the prisoner, and on his (Sell) examin ing the horse, he found a large deep wound on its shoulder and both hocks cut and bleeding. The horse was an old worn-out animal, and not fit tor public use, and every step it took it stopped as if in great pain. The prisoner was so drunk that he could not say where he came from, and there was no name or address on the cab. Mr. Arthur Berry, veterinary surgeon, said he had examined the horse and found several sores on it. The horse was old, lama, and entirely worn out and past work altogether. The earriage was also in a filthy state and not fit for use. Mr. Knox said he could not deal with the carriage under the present charge. The prisoner said he was not drunk, but Hum said he was so drunk that he had to hold him to keep him on the footpath. Mr. Knox fined the prisoner 20s. or 14 days, and recom. mended steps to be taken against the proprietor of the horse and cab. THAMES. ROBBING A WIDOW LADY OF HER JEWELLERY.— Josiah Rixon, a strange little man, about 30 years of age, and described as a porter, of No. 9, Hague-street, Bethnal green, was brought before Mr. Partridge on a charge of stealing plate and jewellery, the property of a widow lady named Major, of No. 5, Coburn-terrace, Bow-road. The value of the property was statei to be £BO. It appeared that the brother-in-law of the prisoner had been in the service of the prosecutor for 22 years, took care of her house, and lived there. He had occasion to leave town for a few days, and for the protection of Mrs. Major and her property ho recommended that the prisoner should have charge of the house in his absence. A bedroom which contained a chest in which Mre. Major's valuables were deposited was set aside for him. On Sunday night the prisoner introduced a conversation about jewellery, and the gold and silver watches and other articles of value he had in his possession. He also said he was once possessed of massive gold chains and bracelets to a considerable amount. Mrs. Major was taken off her guard by this conversation, and unlocked her drawers, from which she took her plate, jewellery, and silver coins, which she exhibited to the pri soner, who said they were very nice. Mrs. Major replaced the property in the drawer in prisoner's bedroom, and did not suspect at that time she had a thief in the house. On Monday morning the prisoner left the house and said he was going after a situation. He returned in the evening, and retired to his room. Next morning he was not forthcoming, and a servant girl called him. No answer was returned, and it was ascertained that the door was locked, and it was broken open by Mrs. Major and her servant. The room was in a terrible state of confusion, every box and drawer in the room had been broken open, and everything turned out. There were 160 keys left in the room. These had been used in opening locks and drawers. Mr. Joseph Wohlstenholme, pawnbroker, of No. 16 and 17, Liquorpond-street, Gray's-inn-lane, produced a parcel containing 17 silver table and tea spoons, and other articles, which the prisoner brought to his shop on Tuesday morn ing at 11 o'clock, and asked for a loan. He asked the pri soner to whom the property belonged, to which he replied that his sister, Mrs. Fennel, of Charles-street, Hatton Garden, was the owner of the property, and that she kept a baber's shop. Mr. Wohlnstenholme said he should like to see the sister, and rightly suspecting the prisoner was a thief, went to the door to look for a police-constable. The prisoner, suspecting his intentions, bolted by a side door way and made his escape, leaving the goods behind him. Mrs. Major identified the plate. Mr. Partridge—l have no hesitation in saying that the conduct of Mr. Wohlatenholtue is highly creditable to him. I thank him in the interests of justice and public morality for what he has done. I wish every pawnbroker would act in the same manner. Mr. Bodger, carpenter, of Hatton-garden, who had also behaved very well in the matter, produced a snake bracelet, a brooch, a silver thimble, and other articles, which Mrs. Major also identified. They were left with a relative of his by a relative of the prisoner, and directly he heard of the robbery he communicated with the police. John Jackson, a City police-constable, No. 615, stated that yesterday afternoon the prisoner accosted him in Bishopsgate-street, and said, " Have you heard of the rob bery in Osborn-terrace," to which he replied in the affirma tive. The prisoner said, "I am the man who committed the robbery," Re took him into custody. Inspector Griffin and Inspector Kerrissey, of the K divi sion, who had charge of the case, said the prisoner had been twice convicted of felony. The first conviction was 6 1 years ago , and the second 5 years ago, Mr. Partridge said he w ou ld comm i t the prisoner for trial Thed ins pectors asked for a reman d , and said they ea te to recove r th e remainder of the property. Mr. Part r id ge —Very well. I will remand the prisoner until Wednesday next. SCOTCH LIFEBOATS.--Lady Maxwell, of Mon reith House, near Newton Stewart, N. 8., has for warded to the National Lifeboat Institution a kind contri bution of two guineas, being the amount of the contents of a contribution box which her ladyship and Sir Wm. Max well placed in the entrance hall of their Mansion a short time since, marked, "Royal National Lifeboat Fund." The institution has now 13 lifeboats on the Scotch coast, which require between £6OO and £7OO annually to keep them is a state of perfect efficiency. " JUDICIAL SEPARATION." —It is rumoured that a measure will be proposed in the next session of parlia ment, to separate•the Probate Court from the Divorce Court. Accustomed as the latter Court is to "judicial separation," there is not likely to be any objection to the divorce. ESCAPE OF A PRISONER FROM A TRAIN. —Early on Thursday morning a prisoner, named Frederick Robertson, made his escape from a railway train, whil e being conveyed from Wakefield to Leeds for trial. The prisoner, who had previously managed to free his hands, got out of the window of the carriage while the train was in full motion, held on till the train was almost out of a tunnel, and then jumped cff. His hat was afterwards found in the tunnel, but the prisoner himself got away, He was charged with stealing a gold watch at the recent Halifax cattle show. And, as compared with the month ending the 20th Sept., 1862, the above returns show a decrease of £191,474 in the circulation of notes in England, and a decrease of £112,040 in the circulation of the United Kingdom : On comparing the above with the fixed issues of the seve ral banks the following is the state of the circulation : MARKETS—This Day.

T H E GREEK CHURCH IN ADIERICA.—" Man hattan" says the Greek Church is to be started here on a scale of magnificence never attempted by the Catholics. It is to run opposition to the Catholic Church. Trinity Church, in this city, obtained a grant of a several hundred acres of land in the heart of the city, in the time of Queen Anne. Trinity is the Church of England. Trinity Church could buy the Rothschild family with her manual income. She spends it in supporting 1,000 churches every year in different states, and in starting 500 new churches every year in the territories. Trinity is of account in religion in this land. When the chief Greek priest arrived here she adopted him, and permitted him to preach in Trinity Church, and in her chapels of St. John's, St. Paul's, and Trinity chapel. This was a grand and sublime endorse ment of the Greek religion, and more safe than Lincoln's endorsement of Greek fire. Every one of the Russian war ships has a Greek chaplain on board ; they were all invited to the Episcopal Convention that recently met in this city, and were given front pews. It is well known that we have on the Pacific side 10,000 Greek Church members. These we wish to ring into the Episcopal Church. Alexander has expressed himself willing to have the Greek Church adopt the Church of England, and vice versa in America. Every night the Russian padres are received at th e h ouses of the leading Episcopal clergymen in this city. They all speak French. If an arrangement can be made between these pioneers of the Greek Church and the bishops of the Episcopal Church, it will add powerfully to the strength of the Episcop • al Church in America. The Emperor will send over 1,000 more Greek priests to instruct the greenhorn Episcopals in the grand ceremonials of the Greek Church, and they will be adopted in all the Episcopal churches. It will make a mighty change in the Christian world, and the Catholic dignitaries may as well hang up their fiddles, for they will be overrun by the new excitement. GREEK FlRE.—'fhe Charleston Harbor corre spondent of the New York Times says :—"A num ber of experiments with Greek fire have recently made by Mr. Short, the inventor, in presence of several officers of rank, with a view of cou'tradicting the impression that the shells containing the fire exploded prematurely. The gun was placed in position on Ihe boa oh and pointed seaward. Ten tin tubes, each of which is 3in. in lenghth and Sin. in diame ter, and filled with the material composing the Greek fire, were then dropped in a conker shell and filled round with powder. The first shell throlcu exploded prematurely, in consequence, it is said, of a defer tin the fuss. The sells subsequently fired had white lead placed round the fuse cap, and, with perhaps one or two exceptjoti a, fully accomplished all that had been claimed for them. A dozen shells were fired, nine of which exploded at a distance of 1,200 yards, To show the powerful effect of the Greek fire a number of tubes were lighted and submerged in wa. 4 er, where they were allowed to remain till nearly burnt, twid then taken out, but the bright blue flame was not extinguished. Other tubes were lighted and completely buried in ,most sand, which was closely packed, and this also failed to Vouch the fire. The tubes burn for a about a minute and a halt. In en .. first ignited the fire issues from one end of the tube with fierce, rushing sound, not unlike that which accorapo-nw: the flight of a rocket, and extends the distance o f a aboutyard but it soon sinks down to a dazzling blue flame of 2in. in length, losing its pecularity of sound, an d thus of basin con tinues to burn to the end. An ignited tube a water gives the later the appearance of boilieg, It emi ts a heavy sulphurous smoke in large quantities:' PUGILISTS AT WATFORD.—Th is town was on collection of as great Wednesday the focus of a d f the lowest and scoundrels as possibly ever congregartee a fight was to have the vilest London thieves. It aPP" en, their backers, and come off at Tring, whither the In n early train, but after patrons, started from London by L a ht was stopped fighting a considerable time theby the police; the party then returne d by train, alighted at t h e f w fieds fi Watford Station, and within a ethe ropes, and reco mme nced the fig ht, a nd after fighting an h our an d a half the affair vras brought to an end by one of the men being cons i d ere d dead to all " time." Th e men frightfully punished, bleeding from every wound, swoollen, and disfigured to a fearful extent, were led from the field to the public house. But for a plentiful supply of water from the river Colne, one of the two would have left the field a corpse. Men dressed as gentlemen, evideitly supporters of the " wore there in force, but their fearful disgust ing l ang uage was horrible beyond description. The fight over, the men, their backers, and the select company went t o th e public-house in the vicinity of the station. One of the champions was conveyed in a blanket, more dead than alive, but after being washed was sufficiently restored to be sent to London. But for hours such blasphemy, such curs ing and swearing, were never before heard; it would beggar all description. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER—FRIDAY.

(From the British Journal of ('holography.) I began operations on a good-looking young pick pocket, familiarly known as "Perth Bess," whom I was anxious to make No. 1 in our album. Now Bess, when brought into the yard and seated on a chair in front of the camera, had at once an idea of the purpose for which she had bee❑ brought there ; and, familiar as I am in "reading faces," I saw she was determined on thwarting our pictorial inten tions, although she wisely kept her own counsel. The plate being prepared, and everything ready, I enjoined on her the necessity of sitting quite still when I told her to do so. She faithfully promised attendance. " Steady, then," says I, pulling off the cap, and Bessie's head simultaneously underwent a series of slow steady oscillations from side to side which totally destroyed plate No. 1. Oa developing it, I fuund a sharp body with an intensely blurred head. I made fifteen trials on Perth Bess that day, but they were all total failures. When I pulled off the cap from the lens she was so nervous, she said, that the sight of the round glass looking at her that way made her feel so queer that she shook and trembled all over. Intimating my intention of giving up operations for that day, Bessie's eye twinkled and plainly told me that she thought herself the vic tor. So she was led back to her cell for a time. In this experiment no head rest had been used, and finding the necessity of such an adjunct, no time was lost in procuring one with a heavy iron foot. Next day Bess was marched out, and again placed in the operating chair. During the focussing she behaved well—not the least motion was perceptible ; but when the ground glass had been removed and the dark slide inserted i❑ its place, Bess, who had acquired a knowledge of the routine of the business, on observing the cap re moved from the lens, suddenly threw around her head with an exclamation concerning " Thir flees that wur kittlin' her nose." During Bor 9 trials the same game was played. It was either " thir flees" that tickled her at the critical moment, or it was the head-rest that troubled her back neck, or it was an observation by her that she thought a side view of her face would look better (accom panying the observation with a corresponding movement), or, when a side view was attempted, a corresponding movement to the front, with a remark that, after all, the front view would be the best. I could stand it no longer ; so, after preparing a plate, I called a couple of constables to come to my assistance, in order that her head might be kept steady by force. Having strapped her arms firmly down by her sides, my assistants stood behind and held her head and shoulders as firmly as possible. The plate was exposed; but, during these five seconds, her face had undergone a series of contortions so hideous that I retreated to my dark room considerably cres fallen, and, when the result was developed, it showed a picture so truly extraordinary that lan guage would utterly fail to describe it. Bess was conqueror once more. It now became evident to me that prisoners were not at all ambitious of having their portraits taken, and that, seeing so far as I had gone, both coaxing and force had been resorted to without success, it now only remained for me to try what cunning would effect; for, not only was the governor extremely anxious to have some prints of the girl for distribution among some of the other offices, but, " worse to feelings proud," my failures i❑ pourtraying a black. eyed demure young lassie, were the subject of very free comment by my brother officers, and bets as to my ultimate success were being extensively made. After some hours' cogitation, followed by a day's work of a mechanic, I was again in the field, with my black-eyed enemy sitting before the camera as innocent looking as possible. The camera was un- capped and standing in its place ; on the top of it rested my hand carelessly, one finger, unseen by her, being in contact with a little brass knob, which very slightly projected from the top. " Now Bess," says I, " I intend once more to try and take your portrait ; but, before we begin, I want to see if you can hold your head steadier to-day than you did formerly:' Bess, little think- ing that the focussing had been all adjusted before she was brought out, and that at that moment there was a sensitive plate in the camera waiting only the touch of the finger on the brass knob aforesaid—which, in ruality was a trigger throw- ing open a secret shutter inside the ca mera not dreaming of this arrangement, Bess sat as steady as a rock. The knob was pressed, the secret shutter did its duty; and when the picture was developed it dis played a magnificent negative, sharp and clear. Various mechanical and even electrical contrivances were subsequently brought to bear on the principle of a secret exposure. Several of these contrivances answered their purpose most admirably, especially the electric one, which, by means of a wire passing up the stand and in contact with an electric tnag. net inside the camera, enabled me to expose the plate from inside of my dark room. It is now six weeks since I began operations as just detailed, and I have modified my original opinion about prisoners object ing to the taking of their portraits. Although there are one or two who—like Bess —strongly object, I find the generality are rather proud of the distinction. For instance, "Slushy Bob," a fello w with a most uncompromising face, was particularly desirous of being "taken off," and actually re quested that his own clothes might be removed from the store-room in order that he might be taken iii propria persona. This suggested .to . me a preg nant hint, that for purposes of identification there war little use of taking gaol birds in gaol costume ; and acting on this, and by holding out as au in ducement for good behavi our, the taking their por traits in their own clothes, we have succeeded in interesting the prisoners to such an extent that at present there is actually a competition who should be taken. One most troublesome desperado, in for a burglary, has most humbly petitioned that a copy of his portrait might be sent to his mother, promising—in the event of complying with his re quest—that for the future term of his stay with us we will not b e troubled with any acts of insubordi nation on his part. Statues of Allan Ramsay and Professor Wilson. For several weeks past workmen have been n gaged in e xcavating for the foundati on of the statue e of Allan Ramsay which is to be erected in the north east corner of West Princes' -street Gardens at Edin. burgh- As it is intended that t he statue, together w i t h that of Professor 'Wilson, w hich is to occupy the n orth-west corner of th e East Gardens, should form a group, with the Royal Institution 38 a centre, the site has been fixed in a line with that building ; but, in consequence of the line falling some distance south of the upper terrace walk of the garden, the statue will have its foundation in the centre of the slope between the first and second walks—an ar rangement whi c h necessitates excavation to a consi derable depth and masonry of the most substantial kind. Th e foundation will be laid 44ft. under the level of Princes -street, and from this depth four walls of great strength will be carried up to the .street level, wh ere t h ey w ill t erm i na t e i n a platform surround e d by a massive balustrade of a quaint Scotch character, with corbelled turrets at the an gles. On the centre of this platform the pedestal will be placed, leaving a space of about 3ft. wide all round. On the north side the platform will be con nected with the garden walk by a light round arched stone bridge. he pedestal will have light shafts at the angles, and three of its sides will be occupied by bas-relief portraits of General Ramsay, grandson of the poet ; Mrs. Ramsay, wife of Allan Ramsay, the painter ; Mrs. Malcolm, sister of General Ramsay, and wife of Colonel Malcolm ; and Lady Campbell, another sister of the General. The two latter will occupy the same panel, and the front panel, in ac cordance with a wish expressed by Lady Murray after her husband's death, W ill he appropriated to a medallion portrait of Lord Murray. By t he jutro_ duction of these bits reliefs, the historical inte rc .„. the statue will be much enhanced ; e p t e , fromdst their(l the subordinate position, they will not detract from th individuality of the memorial.
