MONEY MARKET •Nn COM MERC/AL INTELL IGENC CITY, TViTO O'CLOCK. The cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was firm, with a good demand. The sales comprised 8,000 hales, of which 2,000 were taken for export and en speculation at previous quotations. Rail way Shares were generally steady. In the Colonial and Foreign Markets this .week there has been an average business. Sugar has been steady, with a fair home demand. Coffee has been held for full rates, and also tea, but neither have been very active. Rice has been dearer. Cotton has been quiet. Cochineal is held for the ormer quotations, and also saltpetre. Jute has been dearer, and hemp dull. The following letter respecting the lamentable shipwreck of the Arctic has been received by Mr. George Peabody from a passenger on board : " St. John's, Newfoundland, Oct. 3, 1854. "My dear Mr. Peabody,—l avail myself of a steamer that has touched here on her way to England, to send you a paper, giving an account, which I have prepared , of the wreck of the Arctic, and the probable loss of all passengers and crew, except those mentioned as saved. My own safety was little short of miraculous. I jumped into the boat at the request of Captain Luce, having brought the ladies of the Brown family to the side for the purpose of putting them in, and expected to have them passed into me but ; judge of my feelings when I saw them rudely thrust aside by a number of men, ren dered desperate by the struggle for life, and the boat filled without them. I was thus kept in the boat in spite of myself, as I had resolved to save them at any risk even of my own life. We landed on this bleak coast, after being forty-eight hours on the deep ; many of us with no over coats, and wet, and with nothing to eat or drink.. We then walked five miles to the nearest place, which was a collection of fishermen's houses, and obtained some refreshments. The hole in the Arctic was so large, that she took in thirteen feet of water in an hoer, n spite of the efforts of all her pumps. She must have tone down in an hour after we left, taking some of Mr. Brown's family, Mr. Sandford, and at least 300 more souls. Captain Luce aoted heroically, and perished with his vessel. - "We shall not be able to reach New York for ten days, and this news will probably reach England as soon as it reaches New York. " I have no time to say more, as the steamer sails immediately.—l am, &c., (Signed) "To George Peabody, Esq." " NV. W. GILBERT. The business done in United States' Securities during the week has been at rather lower rates for the Government Sixes, but at fuller terms for some of the City and Railroad Bonds. The quotations furnished by Messrs. Bell, Son, and Co., are as under : Redeemlble. Per Cent. United States 6 per Cent. Bonds 1862...101 102 United States 6 per Cent.

Although she brings a large mail, her dates will not be quite so late as those per overland mail. She left Sydney, July 15, with 4,000 ounces and 60,0001., and Melbourne, July 22, with 60,000 ounces and 100,0001. in gold. The steamer Severn, with the Brazilian and Ar gentine letters, is reported also off Southampton. The accounts from Liverpool are still of a com paratively unsatisfactory chlracter. One of the main difficulties in the way of arranging Mr. Ed ward Oliver's affairs appears to be that, if the ships are returned to the parties from whom he purchased them, the remaining creditors may find theyhave the least valuable portion of the assets, part consisting of bills receivable. Supposing, however, that there exists anything like the surplus stated, the safest plan undoubtedly will be to come to an arrangement as soon as possible, since every business man knows how the property of a stopped house be comes depreciated. It is stated that towards those having smaller claims upon the firm great liberality has been exercised, as they have been paid promptly in full. The liabilities of Messrs. James M'Henry and Co. prove heavy, and it is reported will give rise to legal proceedings involving some family 172 The rate of exchange having fallen 3d. per dollar at Canton and Id. at Shanghai, it is hoped the de- 20 wand for silver to be exported to Chi na will alto- ,T()) gether cease for the present. With gold we are 20 amply supplied, and further amounts have this week 20 been paid into the Bank of England ; nevertheless, 100 it is reported there will be a decrease in the bullion shown by the return made up to last Saturday. 192 g The amounts remitted to the Continent for railway 25 calls and the Turkish loan will account for this. 25 In noticing yesterday the loss of the Arctic, she was inadvertently mentioned as belonging to the 100 Cunard, instead of the Collins, Company. I+'o The payment of the dividends at the Bank of 20 England having commenced to-day, there is more g activity in the funds, with. some little buoyancy) 20?, although the speculative dealing is wholly in abey -100 ance, and the transactions are exclusively for money. Consols have been 95 to 95i for transfer, and 954 k 100 for Account. At one time they were nearl y buy- ru?) ers at 95k, but have since been again 951 I. Ex chequer Bills have been 4 s. to 7 5. , and East India 12000, Bonds 7s. to 10s. premium. The New 3k per Cents. 20 have been quoted 94 to 94k, and the 3 per Cents. 5 937 g to 944, both ex dividend. Bank Stock is -- worth 208 to 2091, ex dividend. The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks :—Grenada Deferred. Bonds, 51 to 6/ ; Mexi can, 241 to 25 ; Peruvian, 71 to 73 ; ditto, 3 per Cents., 51 to 53 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents., 40 to 42 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 96 to 98 ; ditto, 41 per Cents., 84 to 86 ; Spanish New Deferred, 18ato 18i ; ditto, 3 per Cents., 371 to 38± ; ditto, Certi ficates, 5 to 51 ; ditto, Passive, 4 to 4a. In Foreign Securities business is rather livelier. The Turkish Scrip has been at 31 to 3t premium. - Mexican Bonds have been done at at 24i to 25, and Peruvian at 711 for tlie Four-and-a - Half per Cents., and 53 for the Deferred. Dutch Four per Cents. have been 921 to 92 ex dividend. The Railway Share Market is decidedly heavier to-day, most of the quotations being lower, and the transactions very limited. Great Northern, however, are an exception, being rather firmer. The foreign lines are without particular alteration, but dull. The miscellaneous undertakings, comprising Mining, Banking, and Land Companies' Shares, are at previous values. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY.—CLOSING PRICES. (Prom the OfAcid List.) mpiness done.

The following letter appears in a contemporary : I " Sir, —lt appears from all aceouots that the sick and wounded of our army in the East are not adequately pro vided for, and, although the military authorities have doubtless made every exertion to alleviate the sufferings and supply the wants of our brave men, that much re mains to he done. "I would suggest, therefore, the immediate exercise of private benevolence. 10,0001. might be raised iu week. "I enclose a cheque for 2001., and a like subscription from forty or fifty others would at once provide the ne• cessary funds. A committee of five might be appointed to superintend the purchive of a few comforts, and, as delay would, of course, much lessen the value of the e i t, in ten days, with success, a favourable opportunity might present itself for despatching these to the hospitals .f Constantinople or Sebastopol ; and each individual con tributing might thus have the satisfaction of testifying to some extent his gratitude and admiratio ,, for the bril liant courage and discipline with which our soldiers have not only sustained but almost eclipsed the ancient repu , tation and character of the British army. " I have no doubt Messrs. Drummond would kindly consent to receive subscriptions for the purpose, and I earnestly appeal to the liberality of others. " I remain, Sir, yours faithfully, " ROBERT FEEL. " Prince's-gate, Oct. 12." A DELPHI THEATRE. The revival of Luun's version of Les Vieux Pec known to the Londoners as Capers and Coronets, took place last night at this theatre, and afforded Mr. Morr i s Barnett an opportunity of again appearing in his favourite part, the Marquis de Grandville, who, fo r m erl y a French opera dancer, is enobled by accident, a nd is on the eve of marrying a rich widow. The visit of a danseuse from the Academie fires his late professional enthusiasm. The widow accidentally arrives, the danseuse is concealed beneath the table, and then comes the denouement. Mr. Barnett's personation of the French nobleman, anxious to impart th e d a ngerous secret of his former position, and his alarm at the probabl e fatal 'consequences, was extremely humorous, and his efforts were highly applauded by the audience. Mr. Barnett gives to the character of the Marquis a richnere of colouring equal to that w hi c h makes such a s tron g individuality of Monsieur Jacques. The formal move ments of the dancer contrasted with the attempts at aristocratic ease, and the perpetual disposition to make the foot the chief orga n o f express i on was irresistibly ludicrous without caricature, and the outburst of the man's real disposition, wh en th e van ity of the ar tiste proves too much for the noble, comes in strong r elief to the previous act of the pie ce . In the daecing scene Mr. Barnett was admirably supported by Mrs. Keeley, who played the intrusive danseuse. Her incitation of the Spanish dancers was capit a l ; it was g iven in her pec uliar style of burlesque, which has lorg since been pronounced to be unequalled. The house was fully and fashionably attended. —The engagement at the (BT ELECTRIC) TELEGRAPH.) justly distin •h d ' LIVERPOOL, Friday, 10.30 a.m. THEATRE-ROYAL Mn.

CORN EXCHANGE. Very moderate supplies of English wheat have arrived up to our market this week, coastwise and by land car riage. To day the show of samples was small. The at tendance of buyers was not large ; yet the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled steady at fully Monday's prices. Scarcely any fozeign wheat has come fresh to hand. Pickled samples were firm, and, in some instances, rather dearer than on Monday. The value of other qualities was well supported. The barley trade was steady at very full prices. We had a fair demand for malt at full quotations. Good sound oats moved off steadily at extreme rates. In other kinds very little was doing. Beans, peas, and flour sold at full currencies. The top price of the best town-made flour was 58s per 2801bs. AZLEIVALS THIS WEBS. - Wheat. ( Barley. Malt. 1 Oats. 2,250 ' 990 3,930 i 2,010 1 ( 1,653 573 3,60,0 i 3,919 Flour.

The first of these is from a picture by P. F. Poole, which ap peared in the exhibition of the Royal Academy in 1850. It is justly observed in the accompanying remarks, that there is an originality of subject and treatment in Mr. Poole's later works which must strike all, and that he is one of the few painters who break up untrodden ground. All who remem ber his beautiful picture of the "Troubadour Sing ing by Moonlight," in the exhibition of this year, will not dispute these praises. The second plate is from one of Lance's exquisite fruit-pieces in the Vernon Gallery; and the third, also from the Ver non Gallery, is a portrait of the author of " Speed the Plough," &c. Much entertainment may be derived from the prose contents. Many of the articles possess the attraction of illustrative wood cuts. The Journal of Psychological Medicine and Mental Pathology.—There are several articles of interest in this number, referring principally to the subject of mental diseases. It is most probable that the " Recent Trials in Lunacy" will engage the at tention of the reader, as the case of Mrs. Brough is discussed in detail, and the reasons are fully given for her being supposed insane. The trial of the Duchess of Manchester is also reported, which ex cited attention at the time it took place. There is an article on " Non-Mechanical Restraint in the Treatment of the Insane," in which the various opinions of several coriapetent persons are given, which are divided into classes—" Those who are for a Qualified Use," and " Those who are for a Total Abolition, &c." The majority appears in favour of a qualified use of restraint. A very favourable opinion is expressed upon Dr. Noble's "Lectures on the co-Relation of Psychology and Physiology." " Artistic Anatomy" contains some interesting re marks made on the subject of a work of Dr. Knox's for the use of sculptors, painters, and amateurs. It is observed that this work in question will be of great service to the young artist, if he attend to the practical details in the Manual ; but that there are exaggerations and delusive ideas to be found in it which will only hinder his progress instead of accelerating it. In commenting upon the necessity of exertion and study, it is said—" If the marble, from its shapeless block, is to be chiselled into a symmetrical, graceful, almost breathing statue, such as might, like the fabled Pygmalion, descend from her enchanted pedestal—if the blank and naked canvass is to be made to glow with a living picture, the visible impression of all that can be imagined, beautiful in earth or sublime in Heaven—the master hand that brings into palpable existence such wondrous conceptions must know even mechanically how to deal with the details. There is no Promethean spark lying hidden in the unmodelled clay, waiting to leap into life at the sculptor's touch ; there is no magic power concealed, charm-like, in the pa lette upon which the poor artist must make up and blend his colours, which are, of themselves, of the earth, earthy; he must toil, toil, toil. No men ever laboured harder in their vocation than the great artists of antiquity." The Journal of Agriculture, and the Transac tions of the Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland.—" Peasant Life at Home and Abroad" sets forward the grievances and defects of the social condition of the rural population. It is observed that, although the population of these islands has doubled, the rural portion of it has been stationary, and of late years has even declined. It is a fact worthy of notice, that a far greater proportion of emigrants has proceeded from the rural districts than from any other. It is observed here, that in all countries and times the best soldiers were to be found among the peasants. Some years ago, when thousands of operatives were out of work, hardly one could be induced to enlist. It has been ascer tained, also, that, although more sharp-witted, the town recruits do not turn out such good sol diers as those from the country. After some re marks on the advisability of the cottar system being more generally established, an account is given of the modes adopted abroad. This is very interesting, as thereby the reader obtains a great deal of knowledge of the subject in a small compass, and can thus form an idea of the merits and demerits of each peculiar style in the different nations brought under notice. " Parlia mentary Reports on Road and Land Drainage" conveys the result of the minutes relating to agri culture which have been forwarded to the Blue Books. In the " Rural Economy of Scotland," Mr. Lavergne's work on the subject is spoken of ; a favourable opinion of it is recorded. Mr. Lavergne wisely remarks, in conclusion, that it would be very undesirable to give up the preservation of hunting grounds in Scotland. He argues that it is not the same as when landlords have rich expanses of soil un cultivated in England. In the Highlands of Scotland it could not make much difference in the loss. " A few thousand sheep more or less would not add much to the nation's good ; and thereby one would lose the last refuge of savage nature in Great Britain." " Tonjours de Mouton " is very monotonous ; it would be a pity if the mania spread. To strip rural life of all poetry, is not this going too far in behalf even of cultivation ; and ought not people to dread destroying the principal charm which draws the rich from the cities ? " The Steam Engine : its Application to Agriculture," is treated of at some .ength, and it is illustrated by several diagrams. Ths British Quarterly.—The readers of this quarterly will be at once attracted by the chief article in this number. It is on " Tasso: his Life and Writings." It is written in a vigorous and brilliant style, and traces the history of the poet, that ro mance of real life, through the vicissitudes of his career. From his early passion for study, constantly discouraged by the misfortunes produced by his father's rashness—his forced pursuit of the law— his sojourn 'at the court of Este, his devotion to Leonora, that hapless affection which occasioned all the miseries of his life; the terrible accusation of madness, his hasty flight; his imprudent return, the deprivation of his papers, his second flight, his second return, his indignant remonstrances, the terrible imprisonment as a madman, the imprison ment that lasted seven years, the tardy release, the delays, deceits, and disappointments that attended the publication of his works, the neglect and po verty of the poet whose poems filled the laud with admiration to the change of fortune that came too late, the pension, the honours, and the crown of laurel that wreathed the brow of a corpse, where shall we find a story so full of mournful and thril ling interest, a story which has occupied the pens of poets and romancists, but remains to have jus tice rendered it ? It is remarked, in speaking of Tasso's writings in his cell—" If John Bunyan managed to write his immortal work in a parish prison, it was not without the consolation of being a martyr. If Raleigh, in a small chamber in the Tower, reviewed all the great actions of the world and wrote its history, he was not treated by his royal mistress without the respect due to an illus trious prisoner. If Boothius contrived to write his Consolations of Philosophy' in the dungeons of Pavia, at least he was not unsupported by the sym pathies of an enthusiastic people. It is, however, the peculiar merit of Tasso, that, without any adventitious alleviation, in a cell in which he could hardly stand upright, with the shouts of maniacs ringing in his ears, lie succeeded in writing lyrics equal to the best of Petrarch's, and composing dialogues which might challenge comparison with those of Plato." Although the memoir is the longest article in the present number, there are many subjects of interest considered. One of these is " The Fine Arts in the Crystal Palace," which commences with a brief comparison and summary of the different styles of ancient art — the Egyptian, the Assyrian, the Greek, the Roman, and the Byzantine. It is to be regretted that, At the conclusion of this able and eloquent article, the writer promises to give us an article on the Sabbath next number. He is violently in opposition to the opening of the Crystal Palace on Sunday. It is strange that the opponents of the measure cannot see that, by shutting out the people from places of recreation on the Sunday, they drive them not to church, but to the tea-gardens and the ale-houses. If the Crystal Palace were open free on Sunday, none of those who go to church and keep the day religiously at present would go. It would be con sidered vulgar, no doubt; for the classes that would frequent it would be the workmen and labourersil, who now, when released from thei r week's to If have no resource but drinking an d q uarrelling._ S u nday', there the sale of drink was prohibite d on would be every advantage by the removal of e interest of temp tation which everywhere el se it is e tli A paper on some one to oiler and encoura ignteresting.

The second article suggests an astonishingquestion. It reviews a work by a Rev. Mr. Hannay, entitled " The Lost Prince, Facts tending to prove the identity of Louis XVII. of France and the Rev. Eleazar Williams, missionary among the Indians of North America." It is remarked that some years ago an article in the Edinburgh Review asserted that there were six historical problems which had never been satisfac torily solved. “ Where was Homer born? Who was Perkin Warbeck? Who was the man in the iron mask ? Who wrote Eicon Basilike' ? Who wrote the Letters of Junius' ? Who wrote the `Whole Duty of Man' ?” - " Some of these have since been answered, while otherS aro still enveloped in obscurity and mystery. The authorship of the' Letters 'Of Junius," de- eidedly the most popular :of these u bje cts at the - • present time, has been ascribed to at feast half a dozen persons, and numerous volumes have been written to establish the respective claims of each of tho assumed authors . ; yet, in the opinion of the public, the question is still undecided. One thing, however, is to be learned from the unsatisfactory result of the investigations on this subject, namely, that a political secret can be kept for eighty years where it is the interest of the parties concerned to keep it." Ono (,f the lip , st perplexing and exciting of the queries alluded to is the third, and it would seem to be the one least likely to be solved. The work of Mr. Hannay is a partial reprint, with cor rections and additions , of some articles which ap peared in Putnam's Magazine. The critic com pares his statements with those of M. de Beau chesne, in which the Dail phin is strenuously asserted. For those who interest themselves in such researches the consideration of " The Last Historical Prob lem," as it is called, will prove attractive. In an article, entitled " Phases of Unbelief," a very correct observation is quoted, which says that that he who should supply popular replies to the popular arguments against the truths of Christi anity would be the world's benefactor. It is justly , added that the educated and thoughtful can fol low the learned controversialist in his exhi bition of the fallacies and ignorance which is paraded as wisdom and truth, " but who is to clear up in the minds of the unlearned a fallacy which is founded on so-called learning ?" Thou sands will read the vaunting assertion in the penny newspaper, it is said, but not one will read, or perhaps meet with, the pages demanded for its refu tation. The lowest intellect can use the weapon of ridicule against the highest intelligence, the greatest science, the sublimest truth. All can laugh, but few can comprehend. It is this that is the barrier in the way of moral and religious improvement in the lower classes. Those who feel themselves in ferior in education or capacity feel a kind of ele7 vation or superiority in despising and contemning what the rest of the world reverence and believe. Certainly the holders of these atheistical doc trines may have the satisfaction of differing from Milton and Shakspere, and of feeling that their reasoning and logical powers surpass those of the discoverer of the laws of gravitation. There are also articles on the " Ecclesiastical Courts," and the " Wonders of the Deep." The latter is founded on Goose's Aquarium, and similar works by the recent investigators of the inhabi tants of the sea. The " Journal of Facts and Pro gress," and the "Literature of the Quarter," is.con• tinned, as usual. Whittlings from the West. By Able Log. I. Hogg, Edinburgh. The motto of this work is— " Laugh at all things, Great and small things, Sick and well, on sea, and shore." which sufficiently explains that it is of a comic and amusing description, and chooses the plan of the laughing philosopher in preference to that of his opponent. It consists of a series .of sketches of travel in America, originally published in Hogg's Instructor, and now dedicated to its readers. It forms a lively, entertaining series of adventures, opinions, and experiences of every description, though occasionally some narratives are introduced with something of romantic interest. Many others, besides the readers of the " Instructor," will de• rive pleasure from its perusal. THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.—We have received filei • of papers from the Cape to the 9th August inclusive. Everything at the colony was progressing favourably. PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—The Christiana, American liner, under the command of Mr. E. Hammond, arrived at Spithead to-day, from London, and having embarked passengers and stores from Lloyd's agents, the Messrs. Garratt and Gibbon, sailed for New York this evening, with a favourable breeze off the land. PRESENTATION TO A CLERGTBIAN.—The congregation of the parish church at Blackburn have presented the Rev. E. A. Lang, curate of the late vicar, with a purse containing 200 guiaeas. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH AT THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.—An official document has just been published from his Grace the Duke of Newcastle, together with a proposition from Mr. J. W. Pilkins, stating "the terms on which he is prepared to establish a line of electric telegraph communication between Sitnoom's Bay and Cape Town." The tenderer undertakes to complete the work within four months of signing the contract, and to superintend its efficient working for the period of six months, for the sum of 5001. Ilis grace requests the opinion of the governor upon this subject.— Graham's Town Journal, July 29. FROME ELECTION.—The coming election for this bo rough will be hotly contested. Both candidates pro fess liberal opinions, but the contest is between a ballot man and an anti•ballot man. Mr. Nicoll" is one of the council of the Ballot Society, and both in time and money a warm supporter of the ballot, while the only marked feature in his opponent's (Lord Dungarvan's) political creed, is his opposition to the ballot. Every effort will be made by both parties to gain the election. The contest involves also to the people of Frome their political independence, and to Lord Dun• garvan the loss or retention of what he called at the commencement of, the canvass "my borough." The Ballot Society sent by post to every elector on the regis ter a selection of pithy tracts on their question. FATAL EXPLOSION.—An explosion of a fatal character took place yesterday moruing at about 11 o'clock at the caoutchouc factory at Tottenham belonging to Messrs. Warne and Co. It is impossible at present to give any particulars respecting the cause, as the chief engineer is so dangerously hurt as to prevent his being spoken to. The second engineer was killed, and the stocker was re moved to one of the London hospitals seriously, if not mortally injured. The shock was felt by many of the surrounding inhabitants, and very soon the vicar, Mr. Churchwarden Ful:ager, Drs. Hall and Brickwell, and the Rev. J. S. Winter, were upon the spot, with other parish authorities. A meeting of the Liverpool Steamship Association was held on Tuesday, when the first annual report was read and adopted. It referred principally to the efforts made by the association to procure a medication of the various clauses of the Merchant Shipping Act of last session deemed objectionable by the steam-vessel interest, and which on several points proved successful. It also stated that a correspondence had been held with the Dock Committee on the inconvenient distance of the steam docks from the centre of the town, as well as on the best means fur a general increase of dock facili ties. The association have likewise given attention to questions connected with pilotage and lighthouses, and various other subjects. At the conclusion of the pro ceedings a committee was appointed for the ensuing year, Mr. Lamont being re-elected chairman. Exaggerated reports are prevalent with regard to the losses that will fall on London from insurance claims in connexion with the fire at Memel. Some random esti mates have put them at 700,0001. It is believed, how ever, that about 80,0001. is the limit of the policies open at our fire-offices, and, even as regards that amount, it is not certain that the goods so covered are among those which have been destroyed. Lloyds and the Marine Insurance offices have something at stake, as they have granted policies on goods, taking all e w ris i ks, n.e fr t o_ a m tif t S th t he . e P ba e b te ie rs t b h u e rg wh to ule England amuu tbuubtermecektonliienrg th . e l s l e, it is pro. utmost exceed 150,0001. ree N ei e ve f g e eet l n do e cgae ther o af, frpi eathscommercial ciovn definite rd emrehaccounts erituoen c nl ynriheat:aalesrdrdafndcr sufficient otvi t e f :me thuclahttshii China beepdifficulties at t d u rt i h n er re i l e a t t e io ll n i be ea d oubte d a L r i r v a e n r g p e o rn ol e , nt bu la t te i l t y at with regard to the affairs of Mr. Edward Oliver can be carried out.

D APBAOU, a PAUPER DRlNYlNG.—Yesterday . an inquest was h e ld b y Mr. Carter on the body of Hes ter Wilson, ageci paup er inmate of the workhouse of St. Mary, Newington. Front the evidence of several witnesses, it appeared that on Friday last the deceased suddenly disappeared from the workhouse, and was not heard of by the authorities until she was brought to the house in a cab on Tuesday evening last, about eight o'clock, when, upon lifting her out for the purpose of conveying her to the relieving ward, it was discovered that she was dead, her eyes being dreadfully bruised and blackened. During the time of her absence she admitted to a woman of the name of Tyrrell that she had not left with the permission of the authorities, but had "fenced it," or got over the wall. She pawned her shawl and part of her clothing, and expended the whole of the money she obtained in drink, being intoxicated day after day.
