ONE Y MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Although there is no increase in the general de mand for discount accommodation, the market this morning has exhibited a firmer aspect. a feeling of greater reserve beinginduced among the joint-stock 4 nd private establishments, owing:to the continuous °aux of sovereigns from the Bank of England, and the consequent reduction in the stock of bullion. The Royal Mail steamer Oneida, which left to day With the Brazilian mails, conveyed £212,660 In specie. The Bavaria, from New York, has brought X l O,lOO in specie. The Bank return for the week ending -Wednes day last, shows some important features, as will be seen by the following analysis : Active Circulation .. £20,228,410 Increase • • • • • • .. 357,160 Bullion .. .. 14,63 Decrease .. 320,866 Rest • • • • • • • .. 3,149,679 , Increase . 29 64t Public Deposits • • • • .. 8,782 808 Increase 444,091 Other Deposits., • • • •• •• 14,393,303 Decrease • • • • .. 1,075, 946 Seven Day and other Bills . 645,185 Increase .. • • 56,39 S G overnment Securities • •.: 11,635,848 Increase 390,975 Other Securities • * • • . 20,887,385 Decrease .. • • 258,762 Notes 'Unemployed ••. •• • • • • 8,207,770 Decrease .. .. 690,175 A call of £1 6s 4d becomes due to morrow on the original shares of the North Staffordshire Railway Notice has been given by the Spanish Financial Commission that the auction of the Foreign Re deemable Debt will take place at Madrid on the 30th instant, and 8,511,472 reales have been set aside by the Government for that purpose, Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days has continued Moderately active, and there has been little change of importance in the rates realised for most of the Principal staples. Sugar has been in moderate request, while good and fine descriptions of coffee have brought full prices. Cocoa, rice, fruit, and apices are a shade cheaper, while tallow continued dull for both present and forward delivery. Two O'CLOCK. The Liverpool cotton market to-day was dull, and fair American reduced id. per lb.; sales about 3 ,000 bales. At Paris this morning Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 70f. 55c., being sc. lower than yesterday. The Bank of France return for the past month has appeared this morning, and it shows an increase of £3,360,000 in the bills discounted, an angmenta bon of £826,666 on the advances on Stock, and a tedoction of £2,040,000 in the bullion. Tho notes are £1,752,000 above the figure at which they stood In the previous month. The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the East and West India Dock Company is now being held. kr, Samuel Hyde in the chair. The directors re commended a dividend of 3 per cent. for the half- Year, and likewise a bonus of 1 per cent., both free of income-tax. The past year shows some very sa tisfactory res u l s t over the corresponding period of 1862, The English Stock market to-day Is a little flat ter, s ome sales having been negotiated in conse quence of the shipment of sovereigns and the reduc tion in the bullion at the Bank of England.

This trial was resumed this morning, and one or two witnesses having been called in explanation of previous evi dence, Sir F. Kelly said that was the case for the prosecu tion. Mr. Pater submitted that there was no case to go to the ury, so far as Buncher was concerned, on the ground that the evidence failed to connect the note mentioned as affect- ing him in the indictment as being a portion of the paper taken to Griffiths or received from the approver, especially when many others had been dealing with paper also. Mr. Justice Blackburn said there was evidence that Buncher took some paper to Griffiths in order that notes might be forged and uttered. He could not withdraw the case from the jury. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine proceeded to address the jury on behalf of Brewer. He admitted that as soon as the authorities of the Bank became aware of the forgeries they took every step to protect the public against loss, and to discover the offenders. With regard to Brewer, he had the pleasing duty of asking the jury to acquit an inno cent man, who had been involved by the manoeuvres and tricks of others. In reference to the statement of Brown, that ho slept at Brewer's house on one occasion when the robberies were going on, he was instructed to say that, like many other matters in this case, it was a fabrication and a falsehood. Had it not been for the ingenuity of detectives and the falsehood of rogues, no imputation would have rested on Brewer. He commented upon the fact that no body had been called who had ever seen Brewer and Brown in company, and argued that Brown's statement in refe rence to their interviews was not to be relied on. The learned sergeant examined the evidence with great care, and called upon the jury to declare by their verdict that Brewer wits innocent. Mr. Pater, addressing his lordship, said that on the pre vious day the prisoner Griffiths had intimated his desire to make a "statement," and his lordship had promised to give him an opportunity of so doing. What he (tke learned counsel) wanted to know was, at what period of the inves tigation it was to be taken, since it must acquit his client Buncher, although the testimony of such a person, whether favourable or unfavourable, Could have but little influence with the jury. Mr. Justice Blackburn said that nothing that Griffiths might say would be evidence against the other prisoners. He would give Griffiths an opportunity of making a state ment after Mr. Pater had addressed the jury. Mr. Pater then proceeded to urge upon the jury that no facts had been elicited tending to criminate Buncher, Several witnesses were called, who gave him an excel lent character. Griffiths said it was not correct that he had printed all the forged notes during the last 17 years. There was a man named Chayton who had printed a great many. The learned Judge proceeded to sum up. At 25 minutes to four the jury returned into Court with a verdict of guilty against Buncher, not guilty against Brewer, guilty against Griffiths. Burnett had already pleaded guilty. Cummings was then tried, but the evidence was such as in the opinion of the judge did not warrrant a conviction, and he therefore directed an acquittal. The Court was then adjourned until to-morrow at eleven o'clock, when it will be decided whether Cummings shall be again placed upon his trial on other indictments. Sentences on the other prisoners were deferred. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) THE GREAT BANK ROBBERY. Williams alias Jackson, the engraver, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with engraving a certain copper plate for the production of forged Bank of England notes. It will be recollected that the prisoner ba 1 been em ployed by Griffiths to engrave a plate with the date and signature of a £5 bank note, and it was on the discovery of the plate at his employers' residence at Birmingham that led to his apprehension. Mr. Lewis, who appeared for the prisoner, said his client was anxious to give the authorities engaged in the prose cution of the persons charged with being implicated in the great robbery of bank paper every information he possessed. Mr. Giffard said the prisoner was not charged with being connected with the robbery from Laverstoke, and therefore he did not think he could know anything that would be of importance to the prosecution. A number of witnesses were called who gave the prisoner a good character for honesty. The Recorder said the prisoner would receive his sentence when the others were called up for judgment. A rough-looking fellow named Hurley was indicted for a rubbery with violence, on the person of Michael Murray. The prosecutor was proceeding along Sloane-street, Chelsea, from attending a teetotaller's ball, when he was atttacked by five men. At the last session four of the men were sentenced to long terms of penal servitude, and the prisoner, who had been apprehended since, was found in possession of the watch the prosecutor had been robbed of on the night in question. The jury found the prisoner guilty. The Recorder said he was determined to put the law in full force against all persons convicted of robbery with vio lence, and he therefore sentenced the prisoner to ten years penal servitude. MARKETS--This Day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE--This Day. The Pope and the French Army. The following is a full translation of the speech addressed by the Pope to the staff officers of the army of occupation at Rome when they were pre sented to his Holiness on New Year's:day : I fully appreciate the wishes expressed to me by the general in the name of the army he so ably commands. I receive them with pleasure, and with thoroughly paternal affection, and I gladly avail myself of this occasion to ex hibit to you my gratitude for the mission you fulfil here by command of your Emperor. The French army is a splendid and glorious army—glo rious upon the battle-field, glorious also by its discipline during peace. But permit me to say that its highest glory is, that it defends the Vicar of Jesus Christ against his enemies ; that it protects his independence and the posses sion of the territories that remain to him. You are here to sustain the rights of the Church and to guarantee the Eter nal City, the residence of the Vicars of Christ ; this city, sanctified by the death of so many martyrs ; this holy city. where the Vicar of Jesus Christ has always been assisted by God—as I myself am assisted now, unworthy as I am— in the midst of the attacks of His enemies. What those enemies wish is to destroy the authority of the Pope, to overthrow his throne, to make Rome the capital of I know not what kingdom ; and, after having annihilated tho tem poral power, to attack even the spiritual authority. But you are here, my children, to prevent these impious attempts, and to keep away the enemies of the Holy See. When God had created the oceans he said to the waves, " Though you be tossed by the tempests you shall go no further ; you shall reach unto the rocks, but you shall not go beyond them." And you are like unto those rocks; you are here to say to those violent enemies of Italy, "You shall go no further ; God has placed us as a rampart of the holy Church ; we will defend the Sovereign Pontiff." How happy I am therefore to give you my paternal bless ing to-day. I bless France, your country, your Emperor, and also the imperial family, and especially the young child who is attached to me by spiritual ties. I bless the French army hers and elsewhere. I bless you ; you, your families, all the episcopate, all the French clergy, so admirable by its devotion, and all those millions of Catholics who display so much love towards me, and make such generous efforts for the defence of my cause. Should I not also bless my enemies ? Let those who oppose me think of the history of the pa triarch Jacob, who, after having struggled during an eatire night against an unknown adversary, saw at dawn that that adversary was an angel, and falling on his knees said : " You are my angel, I will not quit you until you have given me the blessing of God." The revolutionists do not see that they likewise are fighting with an angel. May their eyes be opened some day to the truth. Let us pray to God to bring them back into the right path. I bless you in the name of God ; in the name of the Eternal Father, whose strength will shatter the efforts of empires ; in the name of Jesus Christ, whose birth we have just celebrated ; in the name of the Holy Ghost; may it keep you in the spirit of the church, in faith, and in charity. I uplift my hands and I bless you all, my children, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen. The above discourse deeply affected, we are told, everyone by whom it was heard. City of London Hospital for Diseases of the Chest. The annual meeting of the governors of this admirable institution was held yesterday afternoon at the London Tavern, under the presidency of the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, M.P. The report stated that the number of in- patients admitted during the year had been 442, making, with the cases under treatment at the beginning of the year, a total of 501. Of these 411 had been more or less materially relieved, and 29 had died. The entire number received since the occupation of the wards in 1855 amounted to 2,456. The number of out-patients treated during the year had been 9,C74, being an increase of 63 as compared with those of the previous year. The average weekly attendance had been 1,041, or 41 more than the previous year. The increase in the in-pa tients had been 34 as compared with the numbers of the previous year• The total number of out-patients admitted since the founding of the institution in 1848 had been 80,203. These results, the committee believed, showed the great and increasing utility and value of the charity. It afforded the committee much satisfaction to be able to report favour ably of the funds of the hospital. The total income of the year had been £6,759 Is. 7d. The expenditure had been £5,428 16s. Bd., leaving a balance in favour of the charity of £1,330 4s. lld. It would, however, be seen, the com mittee remarked, that if the legacies (necessarily a very un certain source of income) had not been of a much larger amount than usual, the receipts would have fallen very considerably short of the actual expenses, and to provide against such a contingency more liberal aid in donations 1 and subscriptions was especially needed. The very large number of out-patients attending the hospital rendered ne cessary the enlargement of the consulting and waiting rooms. The committee had thought it; more advantageous to build a wing to obtrin this accommodation rather than have recour,e, at considerable expense, to any temporary expedient. To build this wing £l,OOO had been set apart. The sum required for this desirable object, and to meet the current expenses of the institution would not be less than £6,000, and the committee earne-tly appealed to the friends of the charity to make a special effort in order that the re quired amount might be secured. The LORD MAYOR then moved the adoption of the re port. It was, he said, very encouraging to those who took an iLterest in the noble institution to know that the report was to so great an extent satisfactory. It was not, he thought, incumbent on him to del ain them by going through the paragraphs of the report in their order, but there was one to which he would for a moment call their attention. He alluded to the paragraph which referred to the out patients attending the hospital. This paragraph was cer tainly one of the most important which the report contained. They all knew that it was of the highest moment that an hospital for diseases of the chest should have most conveni ent arrangements for out-patients. Many hospitals ex cluded altogether diseases of the chest from their treatment. Mir ordinary arrangements would not allow them to un dertake the cure of these diseases ; therefore it was the more necessary that an hospital which had been established for diseases of the chest should have the most ample accommo dation for out-patients. He hoped that such accommoda- tion would soon be secured. The accounts were audited by gentlemen in whom the committee had perfect confidence. In conclusion, ho would again say that it was satisfactory to know that the income had been so good. Of course, the hospital would always need support, and ho cordially hoped that such support would always be forthcoming. (Ap plause.) The motion for the adoption of the report was seconded by Mr. BARRETT, and carried unanimously. Henry Edmund Gurney, Esq., was then unanimously re-elected treasurer to the institution. The committee and auditors were also appointed. His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury was then una nimously elected a vice-president of the hospital. Vctes of thanks were next given to Mr. Gurney, the medical officers, and to various other gentlemen, for the great services they had rendered to the institution. Before the meeting broke up it was stated that the Lord Mayor had, from funds at his disposal, given 10 guineas to the hospital, along with five guineas from his private purse. The ordinary compliment to the right hon. chairman closed the proceedings. LIFEBOAT SERVICES DURING THE PAST QUARTER. —During the past quarter the lifeboats of the Na tional Lifeboat Institution have rescued 136 shipwrecked persons from the following wrecked vessels :—Ship Annie E. Hooper, of Baltimore, U.S., 18; barque Henry Everest, of Rochester, 4; schooner Ceres, of Arbroath, saved vessel and crew of 5 ; sloop Loftus, of Padstow, 4 ; smack John, of Teignmouth, 2 ; schooner Ellen, of Liverpool, saved ves sel and crew of 3 , smack Mary Elizabeth, of Padstow. 3 ; schooner Osprey, of Fraserburgh, 6 ; schooner Jas.

Total, 136. In addition to these, 50 persons were saved by shore boats, and other means during the same period, making a total of 186 persons rescued from shipwreck on the coast of the United Kingdom during the past three months. For these several services the institution has granted seven silver medals, and £192 13s. as rewards. During the whole year the lifeboats of the society have rescued 358 shipwrecked persons, in addition to 234 persons rescued by shore boats and other means. It is a gratifying fact that 1,471 lives were saved by the lifeboats of the society and by those of shore boats during the past three years, thus showing clearly the great importance to the cause of humanity of the operations of this truly national and philanthropic institution.

Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of Eng lish wheat were small, the condition, however, was bad. The few dry samples on offer changed hands at the extreme rates of Monday last : damp qualities moved off slowly, but at full prices. With foreign wheat the market was well supplied. For most descriptions there was a fair consumptive inquiry, and the quotations were well supported ; indeed, in some in stances, the tendency was against buyers. Floating cargoes of grain were in steady request, at fully previous rates. Malting barley ruled firm, at extreme currencies. Grind ing and distilling sorts were steady as to price, although in slow demand. A fair average business was transacted in malt, at late quotations. Oats—with which the market was very moderately sup plied—ruled firm, at an advance, compared with Friday last, of 6d per quarter. Beans and peas moved off slowly, and in some instances prices were rather drooping. Barrel flour was in fair demand, at late rates. Other kinds ruled steady, on former terms. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK.

ARMY BREAD.—A correspondent of the Spring y spec ie s rio u s o s f toinriseesetai of . Federal troops on th e R a pp a h a nnock was packed in May, field R e p u bli can sa ys that the bread dealt out to the 1862, but mus t b e muc h older. During its " Peninsul a t a o l b d r o of w n t h c e o s l eam Paigu" the bread had become inhabited by a very lively which, possibly, are malicious f a b r i ca ti o ns. One was that the insects were e o u e r r a tt c n k d e r a s m i i n a b c l a e m d p i s , p in o s a i n t i y o n o f . Purposely put in the bread to save mule transportation, and that when the commissary wished to transport the bread he simply whistled and it came itself. Another was that four of these crackers were seen on batta lion drill one evening, going through the evolutions with great precision. One of the boys had a lot of loaves so thickly settled as to be uneatable, and brought them to the commissary to be exchanged. He was told to lay them down and take others, when he very honestly asked, "hadn't I better hatch 'em ?" MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BEWARE OF " COOPER."—Mr. Reuben Lewis, a gentlo. man residing at Twickenham, was charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk and behaving in a disorderly manner. Macintosh, 158 C, said that at an early hour this morn ing he was in Macclesfield street and heard the defendant and a female talking very loudly and making use of foul language. told the defendant to go away, and, as he refused to go a way, he took him into custody. On the way to the station the defendant struggled violently. Defendant—l bought a bottle of brandy and gave it away, and I had some " cooper," and then a little brandy on the top of it, and afterwards some more cooper, and I was slightly affected, but, as fir struggling 1 am too amiable for that. I never fight, sir. I was taken to the station and don't know what I am here for. Mr. Knox—l suppose you took a little brandy and then a little cooper; a little more brandy and a little more cooper, and here you are. You are fined 10s. or seven days. ROBBING A FELLOW •LODGER.—Wm. Low and Mary Law, husband and wife, were charged with stealing a quantity of clothing and other articles of the value of Z 7, the property of Mrs. Kate Berkeley, a fellow-lodger at 17, Saville-street, Marylebone. The prosecutrix had left a trunk with the prisoners to mind, and on going for it found that it had been emptied of its contents. On the application of Sergeant Franklin, the prisoners were remanded. WESTMINSTER. PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION.—John Day, a boy, was charged with stealing a basket of nuts from a shop, in com pany with another boy, not in custody. Louisa Cockleft stated that she was taking care of her master's shop, at 23, Manor. street, Chelsea, where fruit and sweet stuff is retailed, last e%ening, when a boyentered the shop, and seizing a basket of nuts, ran out with it, ac companied by the prisoner. She followed, and gave the prisoner into custody—the other escaped. Mr. Arnold inquired whether she kept the prisoner in sight from the time he left her shop until he was taken into custody. Witness said she knew him well by sight ; he had been with the other boy at the shop door before it was entered, and they afterwards endeavoured to conceal themselves together. Prisoner affected the greatest astonishment, and said ii was all a mistake about him. Mr. Arnold asked if there was anything known of the prisoner. The police replied that he was well-known. He was ai the head of an association of young thieves. Mr. Arnold—Association of young thieves ? Policeman—Yes, your worship. Mr. Arnold—What does he do as the head of this aim. ciation ? Policeman—He is the trainer of boys and girls in thieving. Some of those he teaches are little bits of things. Mr. Arnold—He seems a very young hand to be a trainer of thieves. Prisoner—No, I am not. Mr. Arnold—Does he say he is not a young hand to be a trainer? Policeman—Yes, your worship. Mr. Arnold--He surely cannot mean that. Prisoner—l aint a trainer ; it's all false. Mr. Arnold—Has he ever been convicted ? Policeman—Repeatedly for various things, and the last two children that he has been teaching how to thieve are a little girl and boy. He practises generally in robbing trades men's shops, and gets one party to go in and occupy. the attention of the person in the place while the other robs it. Prisoner was romanded. THAMES. DARING BURGLARY—HOUSEKEEPERS BEWARE OF FALSE KEYS.—John Kapling, alias Corrigan, alias Cal laghan, a dirty morose looking fellow, about 29 years of age, who described himself as a cabinetmaker, of the Amazon coffeehouse, Worship-street, Finsbury, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with feloniously and burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Hollands, No. 2, Queen-street, Stepney, and stealing therefrom a cedar box, 11 half sovereigns, 2 silver watches, a gold Albert chain, a silver dollar, a purse, and other property. The prosecutor went out yesterday morning, and secured her house, and fastened up the doors and windows in the usual manner. The street door was locked with a common key, which she took with her. She returned at 6 o'clock in the evening, and on attempting to open the street door found it bolted inside. She raised an immediate alarm, spoke to her next door neighbour, and sent for a police constable. While this was going on in Queen-street in front of the house the burglars (for no doubt there was more than one) were retreating at the back. The wall at the end of the garden in the rear of Mrs. Hol land's dwelling divides a small plot of ground at the back of the Presbyterian place of worship, called John Knox Church, in Gunn-street. At the side of the church is a school house, and there was a tea party there. Yesterday evening, while Mrs. Holland was alarming her neighbours, the prisoner climbed over the wall, and was heard to jump on to the ground close to the school-room. A lady asked him his business, and he said he was waiting for a young woman. The minister of the Scotch Church put some questions to the prisoner, whose answers were anything but satisfactory, and he was given into custody. Mrs. Holland said the prosecutor could not have been in waiting to join the tea patty, " for he was too filthy dirty" for that. A policeman got over the wall from an adjoining garden into her garden, entered the house in the rear, opened the front door, and admitted her. Some of the rooms were in confusion. A small cedar box, containing eleven half sovereigns in a netted puree, were missing from a drawer in the front parlour. A desk had also been opened, and a silver dollar and some smaller coins stolen. She also missed two watches and a gold Albert chain. She had since found them behind a chest of drawers. They had been hastily thrown there by the thieves. Mr. Woolrych—How did the burglars enter the house ? Mrs. Holland—l imagine they got in at the front door. They opened it with a false key, no doubt. Mr. Woolrych— That is how a great many burglaries and robberies have been committed, Police-constable Charles Moyrick, 296 K, said he had made inquiries at the Amazon coffee-house. The prisoner waslunknown there. %Voolrych remanded the prisoner until Tuesday next. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATIERSALL'S-THURSDAT. A very fair attendance for an " off" day was met with some show of business. The three reigning favourites re tained their positions intact, the layers refusing to advance half a point upon their last quoted odds. Carnival would have met with support at a more liberal price, but at last 22 to 1 was taken to a little money about him, and at which odds Automaton was backed.

THE GRATITUDE OF A NEW M.P.—The Wes• tern Daily Mercury says it " has much pleasure in announcing that Mr. John Pender, the representative of Totnes, has placed at the disposal of a committee the magnificent sum of £l,OOO, to be applied as they may see fit for the general welfare of the inhabitants of the borough. The town is in want of a new British school, owing to the dilapidated state of the present building, and we think the hon. gentleman's feelings will be well consulted if a portion of his gift is appropriated to the erection of such a useful building. Apart from any sordid feeling, the inhabitants of the town may well be gratified at finding they have a re presentative who so generously and so considerately shows his pleasure at the honour whi, h has been conferred upon him by his recent election. The fact of this gift having been made is not known to the people of Totnes. On account of the present election it has not been promul gated, but we see no reason why it should, any longer be 'kept a secret." 8718 1151 451 6 i 1298,,E 1343 4; 67i I 1101 10 1 1 81 384 98b 8 8 i 104 I I 42} 2 4 12 1 9f I 53} 21 100 f i 89 6 61 6 LONDON GAZETTE---This Evening.

Gray, Es q ., un der-sheriff, the jury we re em Pail ?.ell in the case of "Townhend Smith." d defendant was a farmer at a place called Goole Grange ar! .til Janu ary, 1862, in the capacity of Farm, near Howdes, a nd the plai n tiff , Harriett Townhend, lived with him housekeeper. D urin g the time that she was there th e de fend gatiant m ade overture s t o h er, an d prom i sed her marriage, and niate!y the usual arrangements were proceeded with, and cards of Invitation for a dinner party consequent on the proposed Wedding were issued. Two or three days, however, before the latter event was fixed to take place, the defendant was taken suddenly ill, and the ceremony was postponed, and, up to the present time, he had neglected to perform his promise. It was shown that the defendant- was worth about £7,000 or £B,OOO, and lived on a farm of some £7OO a year. The damages were laid at £5OO. For the defence it was shown and attempted to be proved that nine years ago the plaintiff had had a child by a fellow-servant named Smith, to whom it was believed she was married, and a number of letters were put in and read, which were signed " Harriet Smith." This man was now in America, and it was difficult to prove the marriage. The defendant had latterly taken to drinking hard, and at the last assizes he was tried for the murder of his man-servant. He w as now penniless, and the smallest amount of damages would be sufficient, for if the promise had not been broken the woman must have committed bigamy, in consequence of her former marriage. —The jury found a v er di c t for the plaintiff for 4 100. DIGGING HIS OWN GRAVE. —A curious i nc id tnt took place a few days since at St. Meng es (Ar dennes). A body was about to be buried in the cemetery, when the grave digger, who had prepared the grave over night, and who attended the religious ceremony at the church, hastened on in advance of the cortege to see that all was right. On looking into the grave he perceived that some of the earth had fallen in, and descended to clear it out, when he was suddenly struck with apoplexy, and fell lifeless into the grave. When the funeral arrived surprise was expressed at the absence of the necessary official, when a person looking into the grave saw him lying at the bot tom. He was got out, but all attempts to restore animation were vain, and some of the attendants were compelled to complete tha tall for him. to E. )ss, bo the en- ,ee, ip st. er ; rik ro- B), the ey, ;he to it.- an, DTI- Int of in ;rB, 'he ,he Ith tie h he of of k- x ry 21. nt ' L 9.18.4 12.10 I all 100 10;) all all all all 95 4
