'before an examiner appointed by the Company, be was of opinion that it would be found inefficient, as very few 'men would he found with sufficient confidence in their •own individual opinions of a candidate's qualification to -saywhetber he was competent or not, and thus, perhaps, decide . upon his pr os p ec t s f or lif e . The principle of com pention as opposed to patronage was that on which the clause depended, and on that principle he took, and 'would continue to take, his stand.—(Hear.) Mr. C. W. WYNN again urged the propriety of refer• ring the subject to a Select Committee; but suggested, if the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. C. Grant) still differed from him in opinion, that, instead of vesting all the patro triage of cadetships in the Board of Control, two resen tations should he assigned to the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, and Dublin, and four to the Scotch Univer. skits in rotation, according as vacancies should occur. Lord ALTHORP contended that the system of educa tion pursued at Hayleybury College afforded the best 'means of ascertaining the fitness of candidates for ap pointments, and would therefore give his support to the clause as it stood. Mr. WARBURTON was fully of opinion that that Nystem which best kept up the principles of competition ought to he adopted in preference to any other ; and a , the system at Hayleybury College appeared to attain that object, he was willing to give the clause his litst , uppart. Mr. C. GRANT saw no prospect of any system of education offering greater prospects of instruction in those branches which a civil appointment in India rendered perfectly desirable than that pursued at Hayleybury being attainable, and therefore felt instified in pressing it to a division. Sir R. INGLIS approved of the plan, because he did not think it would deprive the Beard of Dirt ctors of the control they ought to have. Mr. HUME contended that continuing the College would limit ins'tead of extending the competition, which it ought to be the object to encourage. However well informed The young men brought up at this College might b'e, they were ignorant of all worldly knowledge, and, ttierefore, wholly unfit for the discharge of important public duties. Mr. TODD fully agreed that the door of competition -ought to be opened as widely as possible. Mr. C. FERGUSSON did not care where the party was educated; what he wanted was that they shoold be ptoaerly qnalified. Mr. MACAULAY said that unless young men were certain of a writes ship at the end of their stodi-s, they never would undergo the labour of acquiring the informa tion that was indispensable. NIARJORIBANKS fully concurred in this opinion. He should vote for the clause. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY was satisfied that the Bard of Control wookl take good c ,re to guard against the ap pointment of unqualified persons. - Mr. R. GRANT did not see bow it would be pos sih!e to make any better arrangement than that proposed by the clause. Mr. LYALL said that they ought not for a moment to forget the importance of the principle of competition. It was perfectly necessary that none but qualified persons should be appointed writers. Parties who failed in their examinations might be sent into the military or other service of the Government, and this he thought would get rid of the objection. The clause was then agreed tn. The 105th and to the 109th clauses were agreed to without observation. On the 110th clause being pot, Mr. WARBURTON complained that there was nn pro vision contained in the Bill for enforcing the Company to lay annually their financial accounts before Pat liarnent. Mt.. C. GRANT replied that the Company were, by existing Acts, required to render annual accounts. Those Acts were not intended to be repealed. - Mr. WARBURTON thought the better way would he to repeal those Acts, and insert in this Bill a provision for the purpose. Mr. linmE and Sir H. WILLOUOIIBY fully concurred in this opinion. The clause was then agreed to, as was also the 111th dame. On the 112th clause being put, Mr. HUME expressed it as his opinion that the ex penses of maintaining the island of Sr. Helena should be defrayed out of the Indian revenues, and not borne by this country. Mr. C. GRANT said the island of St. Helena was of so much importance to the commerce of this country with the East generally, and China in particular, that be did not see how it would have been possible to charge the re venues of India with its maintenance. The clause was then agreed to, as was also the 113th (the last) clause. _ . The 26th clause, which bad been postponed, was struck out of the Bill. The 75th, postponed clause, fixing the salaries of the Governor- General and other members of the Government of India having been put, Mr. C. GRANT said it was inteneed to give the Go vernor-General a salary of 240,000 sicca rupees, each member of the Council 96,000 sicca rupees, the (lover nors of subordinate provinces 120,000 sicca rupees. and the members of subordinate Councils 60,000 sicca rupees. • Mr. HUME thought that as they were reducing the expenses of the minor departments they ought to carry their reductions into the major. Mr. R. GRANT replied that by the Act a power of further reductions, if deemed right, was given to the Go vernroent at home. Mr. HUNIE then propo s ed, as an amendment, that the salary of the Governor-General should be 20,000/. a-year, instetal of 25,0001. After a few w•irds from Lord SANDON and Sir R. INGLis, the amendment was negatived without a div'sion, and the clause agreed to, as were three declaratory clauses proposed by Mr. C. GRANT. Colonel L. HAY then proposed a clause giving a legis lative sanction to the branch of the Church of Scotland at present established in British India. The Hon. Gen• tieman said that his object was to have dis.enting chap lains appointed in each of the Presidencies, subject, how ever, to the control of the synod of Lothian and Twee dale, and to be paid as military chaplains. Aftersome conversation from Mr. HUME, Mr. Wv and Colonel HAY, the Committee divided. The numbers were— A.Yet; 63 Noes 35 Majority for the clause - 28 SMALL DEBTS (SCOTLAND) BILL. The Small Debts (Scotland) Bill was, on the motion of 3lr. KENNEDY, read a third time. On the question that the Bill do pass, Mr. WALLACE moved that those clauses of the Bill for paying the Judges and other officers of the Sheriffs' Courts by fees as well as by salaries he expunged. Mr, KENNEDY defended those provisions of the Bill, and denied that the Sheriffs and their clerks were overpaid. Captain GORDON, though li, could not support the amendment, wished the Bill to he deferred until the Com missioners for inquiring into thy Local Jurisdictions in Scotland had made their report. Mr. HUME did not think the additionll duties justified additional emolument. If, however, any reduction took place, the public surely ought to have the benefit of it. An HoN. AIEMBEa considered that it would be unjust to tax the sheritTs' clerks to obtain a result that was to benefit the public. Mr. KENNEDY said that the object of the Bill was to remunerate the sheriff for any expense he might incur in travelling. . . . Mr. 'MACKENZIE said that any reduction in the emo luments of sheriffs' c'erks would affect their respectability. He approved of the Bill, but objected to its details. In particular it would press most hardly on the sheriffs of Inverne,s and Ross shire. `Mr. C. FERGUSSON would prefer seeing the duties performed by the sheriffs themselves than by their clerks, but still he thought the Bid would be an advantage. Mr. MURRAY also approved of the Bill. Sir J. HAY thought that under all the eireutmtances the bill should he withdrawn, at all events until the corn noi,sioners had made their report. . . Mr. KENNEDY really did not see how the inquiries of the commissioners could affect this Bill unless indeed it should work badly. . . . . . Mr. AGLIOgBY said that if additional duties were to be imposed upon sheriffs and their clerks, upon the ground that the labourer was worthy of his hire, they were ervi tied to !urther remuneration. After a few words from Mr. KENNEDY, Mr. WAL LACE withdrew his amendment; and the motion that the Bill do pass was then agreed to. The Imprisonment for Debt Bill passed through a Co:nniitree pro forma. —Report on Wednesday. DRAMATIC PERFORMANCES BILL. O❑ the motion for the further consideration of the report on the Dramatic Performances Bill, Mr. Alderman WOOD proposed a clause for inserti! n in the Bill, exempting the city of London from its ope ration. After some conversation, the clause was agreed to, on the understanding that its provisions should be d on a future stage. The report was then agreed to, and the Bill ordere , l to be read a third time on Monday. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a quarter-past two until Monday. BRITISH OFFICERS IN FOREIGN SERVICE. TO THE ED1T01? OF THE SUN. Snt,—Upon my return home from an excursion, I this day found your paper of Tuesday, the 16th (which I regularly take in), in which is the follow*lg, on the gallant achievement of our noble countryman and ht 3 valiant band of heroes off Cape St. Vincent, in support '6f constitutional right and liberty : " Among lens interesting matter discussed in the House of Lords last 'night, the Marquis of Londonderry asked tarl Grey , a question respecting Captain Napier's 'being still in the English service, which his Lordship 'Professed his inability to answer. We are enabled to that at the time Earl Grey was speaking, Captain Napier was ' scratched off the tst.' We do not know Whit authority, beyond conwoon rumour, the Admiralty can have for assuming that Captain Napier has en tered The service of Don Pedro; lint as we take it for granted that they have precisely the same kind of information, with respect to Captain ElTiot's having entered the service of Min Miguel, we tres't the same justice will be meted 'Olt to the Conservati'ves as there has been to the Liberal, ,'adventurer." It tins NOT been usual, when Great i3ritain has been at peace with all the world, for the 'Government to object to its officers entering into the pe.r._•ite of foreign belligerent powers ; and, among many other instances, I beg to call you particsslat attention to the circumstance of Captains Sir Sydney Smith and Sir Frederick Thesiger, the former entaing the ser vice of Sweden, and the latter that sf Russia, upon the strong recommendation of the Tale gallant Admiral Lord Rodney, to whom he had acted as aide-de-camp and rep peater of signals , Yti the glorious 12th of April, and from whose vutogy he was in London arpointed to a 74 gun-ship, end had his expenses paid him et Cronstadt, where, upon arriving, the Russian fleet instegfer put to sea, in search of the adverse Swedish one when, upon meeting, a dreadful conflict ensued, and it ended by a great victory on the part of the Russians, and the Swedish Admiral, in the Gustaftt, was captured by Sir r. T., and which ship he was given the com mand of ; and would, most probably, have captured his Swedish Majesty also, but for the able manceuvte Of his gallant country man opponent, Sir S. Smith, who, by embarking his Majesty on board a galley, escaped into shallow water, and so ended the engagement. It is a curious coincidence, that both cur gallant countrymen received the Orders of Knighthood on the same day—Sir S. Smith by the Sovereign of Sweden, for his able retreat ; and Sir F. T., from the great Catherine of Russia, of the Order of St. George, with a highly complimentary letter with her autograph signature. Upon hostilities being upon the point of breaking out be tween the Northern Powers and Great Britain, Lord Spencer —then the very active First Lord of the Admiralty, sent for Sir F. T., who had acquired furth'er fame, and had obtained the Order of Merit conferred upon him in a gold sword, now in his family's possession, and which negotiation was carried on through the intervention of his old friend and companion in arms, the late Admiral William Bentinck. Upon Sir F. T.'s arrival in this country, he was introduced to Admiral Lord Nelson, and was appointed to act as his Majesty's aide-de-camp on the memorable attack at Copenhagen, and was the officer who landed through the fire of the fleet and batteries, with the flag of truce, which was not respected, and thereby magnani mously effected the cessation of hostilities, and preserved the British Fleet, Sir Thomas Hardy, now so actively employed at the Board of Admiralty, is well aware of all the facts, and I hog to refer you for further particulars to the Universal Re gister Magazine for November, 1805, and the Naval Chronicle, vol. 14, for December, 1805.—1 am, Sir, Yours, respectfully, AN ADMIRER OF BRITISH HEROISM.

The Bill now before Parliament for the purpose of amending the present Stage Coach Act, we fear, if allowed to pass into a law, will prove a greater public nuisance than ever, and the lives of his Majesty's subjects will be placed in more imminent danger than heretofore; for by the intended Bill it would ap pear that the proprietors of stage-coaches may, by paying to the revenue extra duty, carry as many passengers as they please, which will be seen by the following scale : By paying 2d. a mile duty, a stage coach may carry five out side passengers; 2 1 /2d. eight; 3d. eleven; 3 y 2 d. twelve; 4d. fourteen ; 4 1 / 2 d. sixteen ; M. eighteen ; 5Y 2 d. twenty ; and so on, by paying a halfpenny a mile extra duty, a coach pro. prietor may carry two extra outside passengers. It is, there fore, quite evident that in the framing of this Bill the safety of the public has been a secondary consideration. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE. ST. JAMES'S PALACE, JULY IS.

The second reading of the Irish Church Tempo ralities Bill was carried this morning in the House of Lords by a majority of 59—the numbers being 157 to 98. This triumph, however, was not achieved without considerable difficulty. Like children compelled to swallow physic, their Lord ships made many wry faces, put forth many doleful remonstrances, endured many grievous qualms, before they could be persuaded to gulp down the nauseous Bill. But gulp it at last they did, though we fear it will not agree with their constitution, which i 3 delicate to a degree, and obnoxious to all vigorous restoratives. In other words, we entertain strong suspicions that the Lords will Burke the Bill in Committee. This suicidal act will be brought about by the junction of the moderate with the violent Tories,-- of the WELLINGTON and HARROWBY with the NEWCASTLE and ELDON party—both of whom have boldly declared their determination to oppose the reduction of the bishoprics. Now, this is the main principle of the Bill—its very life, its essence, without which it has no more spirit or vitality than a mummy. Of course Lord GREY will not hear of such an altera tion. Indeed he said as much last night. He " trusted that no such alterations would be ma d e i n the Bill, as would insure its rejection by the other House of Parliament. If so, he would very much prefer its I ejection at once on the second reading." Such being the proposition of the faction, and such the reply of Government, who can fail to foresee the result ? Who can fail to see that the Lords are resolved to accomplish that by treachery which they fear to accomplish by a bold, op e n, straightforward opposition ? They think, no doubt, that by allowing the Bill to pass the second read ing, and only crippling it in Committee, they will shitt the onus of its rejection from themselves to the House of Commons. But their manoeuvre is a clumsy one, and will work its own ruin. Not a man in the country but can see throught it. Not a man in the country but will visit it with the con tempt it deserves. The people are not now for the first time to learn that the House of Lords is their I nost dangerous, because their most insidious enemy. 'They are by no means deaf to the " Sayings," er blind to the " Doings" of the Episcopal Bench. If the Bill be rejected, when returned to the Com mons, they will know on whose shoulders to lay the blame. The House of Lords, we say so with regret, is incorrigible. Warning after warning, each more solemn, each more significant than the last, passes by them unheard, or at any rate unheeded. In a period of transition, when not to advance is to be trodden l i down-=--trampled on—crushed to death by the mighty pressure in the rear, they are the only body that imsist on remaining stationary. What is to be done with such a set of incorrigibles 2 This is an alarming question to put, but it is one, nevertheless, which people are constantly putting to each other, and the reply of one and all is—but we will not shock their Lordships by repeating it. The Duke of WELLINGTON'S speech was one of the most inconsistent—which is saying much—and one of the most ungenerous—which is saying more—ever delivered even in the House of Lords. His Grace condemned Lord GREY for yielding to that very spirit of agitation which he declared was his sole motive for carrying the Catholic question. He holds himself absolved of all guilt for sacri ficing principle to expediency (for he always avowed that he carried emancipation against his own internal conviction), yet condemns Lord GREY as guilty, be cause he surrenders to the same expediency, without the sacrifice of the slightest principle. His Grace's arguments against the reduction of the Irish bishoprics were edifying. He thought that they were too numerous; but still there they were— consequently, there they ought ever to remain. What is this but saying that a blunder, like good wine, improves by keeping; indeed ceases wholly to be a blunder the instant it has attained a venera ble growth. Admirable logic ! Still more admirable logician ! If, according to POPE, " a fool at forty is a fool indeed," what a fine, full grown sample of fatuity must be a " fool at sixty !" Lord BROUGIIAM, as usual, was unanswerable in his advocacy of the Bill. Equally ready to attack as to defend—to retreat as co advance—to handle the heavier as well as the lighter weapons of oratory —to fence with the rapier as well as to cut down with the broadsword;—this all-accomplished master of his art—the wit—the satirist—the rheto rician—the philosopher—proved himself singly a match—and more than a match—for the whole array of Temporal and Spiritual Peers united. Not a Peer in the House attempted the slightest reply to his arguments—a proof that some little discretion still lingers there. Of the Duke of NEWCASTLE'S speech we say no thing, for like the Riot Act, it had the effect or dis persing the crowd, and of course, in the hurry and confusion occasioned by the rush of Noble Lords to the doors, was ittauJible. The whole of the morning and some part of the evening sitting of the House of Commons was yes terday occupied with a discussion upon the question of making an alteration in the Church Establish ment in India. Of the soundness of the principle that every communion ought to support its own Ministers, and not call upon others to defray a part of their expenses, or that all should be pro portionally paid from a public fund, there cannot be a doubt. But we cannot help thinking that his Majesty's Ministers were not fairly dealt by, in the opposition they received from a part of the House of Commons to a proposition which did not at all touch that great question. Under the provisions of former Acts of Parliament, a certain sum is now appropriated to the Bishop of Cal cutta and two Archdeacons at Madras and Bombay. Owing to the laborious nature of the duties at pre sent devolving upon the Bishop, the deaths among the divines appointed to that office have followed each other so rapidly as to make the acceptance of the appointment considered an act of martyrdom. Long intervals have, in consequence, frequently elapsed, during which India has been without epis copal superintendence of any kind. With a view to remedy these defects in the system, his Majesty's Ministers did not propose any increase of expenditure, but simply to make such a division of the sum at present appropriated to the Bishop and Archdeacons as will maintain an Arch bishop, two Bishops, and the Archdeacons. If this proposition had been defeated instead of carried, the money would not the less have been paid, but it would have been for inefficient instead of efficient service. We could have understood the meaning of a proposition to cease the pay ment altogether, but we are at a loss to understand what advantage Mr. HusrE and his friends proposed to them selves by opposing an obvious improvement. As we have adopted the principle in India of paying ministers of religion out of the Exchequer, we certainly think it would be fair to extend it to the ministers of all persuasions which are in sufficient numbers to warrant a public grant. The President of the Board of Control said that " he knew there was a very large Roman Catholic community in India, and they deserved the particular regard and consideration of the Go vernment, but in what mode, to what extent, and under what form their claims could be satisfied, he was not prepared to state; it would not be difficult, however, to adjust the matter between parties who applied them selves fairly and sincerely to the task." Mr. O'CoNNELL afterwards expressed himself satisfied with this promise, and we doubt not that the result will be the making of some public provision for the ministers of all Christian persuasions. If so, we would suggest that, in order to pre vent abuses, some plan should be adopted, similar to that practisedin the distribution of the funds granted by Par liament towards the erection and support of schools in Ireland ; that is to say, that all congregations desir ing the appointment of a pastor, should undertake to p a y a fixed proportion of his salary. Colonel HAT, in order that there might be no doubt as to the recognition of the Scotch Church in India, moved lase in the evening that two of the Chaplains at each Presidency should be Presbyterians, and succeeded in his motion by a majority of 63 to 35. We have received a letter from Oporto, dated late in the evening of the 6th inst., which states that in the afternoon of that day intelligence had reached the city from the Miguelite lines at Villa Nova, of the arrival of a telegraphic despatch there from Lisbon, bringing accounts of the capture of the Miguelite fleet by Admiral NAPIER. This account being well authenticated , great rejoicings took place immediately in Oporto. The great tower Torres Clericos, was brilliantly lighted up, and the whole city was illuminated. Groups were in the streets singing the Constitutional hymn, and shouting, " Viva Donna MARIA," and guns were firing in every direction. It was also added that the people of Lisbon had risen, but this required confirmation. It was, how ever, extremely probable, for it appears that the news of the capture of the Miguelite fleet was re ceived in Lisbon on the evening of the sth, a very few hours after the engagement, and, as the whole country round Lisbon was in a state of excitement, the friends of Donna MARIA would naturally take advantage of so important a piece of news to excite a general rising against the Miguelite troops in the city, who did not, with the exception of the police, exceed 6,000 in number. Chancery suitors are about to have a crumb of comfort put within their reach ; the Bill for regulating the proceedings and practice of certain offices of the Court of Chancery having passed the House of Lords and been read last night a first time in the House of Commons. Unless some unforeseen cir cumstance should suddenly dissolve Parliament, we doubt not that this will be one of the Bills which will this session be passed for the relief of the people. We say for the relief of the people, because the entire community is interested in having justice as accessible and cheap as possible. Another mea sure of beneficial law reform also progressed a stage. kVe allude to the Imprisonment for Debt Bill, which was c onsidered in Committee arid reported. The report is to be further considered on Wednesday next. The opposition to this Bill in the House of Commons has been greater than we could have anticipated to such a measure of rational legislation in the year 1833. We should not doubt of its suc cess in the Upper House were Noble Lords subject to the same inconveniences as meaner men on non payment of their debts. As the matter stands, the result is doubtful. The great, but steady, progress of e►+lightened opinion on commercial matters in France, seems ►o have alarmed the Iron and Coal monopolists there, who have been for so many years levying their con ►ributions on the French public, to the detriment of all the truly important and popular interests. The quick sagacity which distinguishes our neighbours wheaever their attention is awakened, has been much directed to the causes of commercial stagna tion of late, and the ruinous results of misdirected capital,—the bankruptcy of several of their great protected manufacturers,—the menaced fall of others, are teaching lessons of truth and wisdom, which will be permanently useful. We are sorry to see a Ministerial Newspaper, the Journal de Paris, en deavouring to bolster up the prohibitory system by articles so crude and childish as to be unworthy of the times in which we live. Nor will English readers easily believe that England is quotedsas the autho rity and encouragement for the exaction of enormous duties as the best means of increasing the revenues — England, the first teacher of the invaluable and sa tisfactory truth, that in custom-house arithmetic two and two do not make four—England, every page of whose fiscal history shows that judiciously to diminish duties on the great articles of consumption is the true strategy of finance—England, that now laughs to scorn those narrow-minded managers of her treasury of other days—who (poor dreamers !) fancied they had only to double taxes in order to double receipts—and who stared in helpless asto nishment when they found themselves minus aftet their Crcesian experiment ! If France will honour us by imitation, let her adopt our wisdom—but re pudiate our folly. We have this day received a file of the Oporto Chronicle to the 6th instant. They contain nothing of interest, however, except the official account of the engagement of the sth, which we were able to give exclusively yesterday. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY).

The Allgemeine Zeitung, of the Ilth instant, confirms the account previously received, of the meeting of the Sovereigns of Russia, Prussia, and Austria in Bohemia in the early part of the ensuing month, and the principal object of their delibera tions is to be Poland. Accounts from Milan state, that an Ordinance was published there lately, by which important changes have been made in the Tariff of spun cottons, the prohibition to import certain numbers of fine cotton has been taken oft; and the heavy duties on ordinary cottons, which were allowed to be imported, con siderably diminished. We have received accounts from Oporto that Mosambique, one of the Portuguese settlements on the coast of Africa, has declared in favour .of Donna Maria. Also, that part of the troops in the island of Madeira, together with some of its in habitants, have declared for Donna Maria, but the Governor having taken measures to impede the attempt of those troops, they retired to the Interior, according to the last accounts. THE FUNDS. We have no further arrivals as yet from Portugal, nor indeed from any other quarter, of conse9uence. The length of the debate in the House of Lords last night, and the majority for Ministers, sufficiently occupy the attention of the public. Consols opened at the same price they left off yesterday, 90% for the Account, with little doing as yet. HALF-PAST TWELVE. There have been some fluctuations in Consols, which had reached 91, since which they have receded to 90i j for the ac count, owing to an opinion that the Irish Church Bill will meet with some difficulties in the Committee. HALF-PAST ONE. By private letters from Rio Janeiro, it appears that a project had passed the House of Deputies, and gone to the Senate, concerning the copper currency, and from what could be learned, the eighty reals are to be twenty paper, and issued from 1,000 upwards, the copper to be taken in at 1,280 per lb., with five per cent. deduction for the expenses, and a proposition that two per cent. should be levied on imports for its liquidation, and a 20th part of the paper issued to be destroyed every year. This plan appears very easy, from the resources of the country; and the two per cents. is the best duty that can be levied, and is likely to do away with false coinage ; and the paper currency will give an impulse to trade, particularly at Bahia, which has suffered so long from false copper. Consols are at present 90% % for the account. No news as yet from PortugaL In the Foreign Market Portuguese Scripmay be quoted at 10 prem. ; New Greek Loan at from 7 to 8 prem. THREE O'CLOCK.

Mr. S. was not hurt, but had the chaise gone 50 yards further, he would most probably have been killed, as Vie chaise had to traverse a narrow bank fifteen feet high. SIIIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS D.

""ta' , o'clock. A rope-dancer, named Parrisos, after exhibi v ol various feats of his art, at last attempted the somewhat l ei CAM] one of suspending himself by the head from a cord Waco/ p,,!''2131 to the main rope. For this purpose he placed the noose of I , ~;;PLtts cord at the back of his neck, and immediately over his Op s t ps by grasping it also with both his hands for further safety. X l 5 p i `," l this situation he swung and gyrated for some time, but li t e T eragi l e vi e CX mately let go his hold. The spectators, however, still s , 1 ,1 ov e a , posed, that lie was only making a display of dexterity, ti ll or ed,.
