:RONE Y XARKET AND comuzitciAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Discount Market remains in the same un altered condition as for the past fortnight. The demand continues active, and 3Z- 4 per cent. are the quotations for the best descriptions of mercantile three months' paper. The rates in the open market t hus approaching the level of the official minimum are ea() consequence of a good inquiry prevailing at the Rank of England. A further sum of £57,000, in gold, was taken into the Bank yesterday. The bar silver by the West India packet has been sod at 53.1 d. per oz. standard. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have ap- Pqitit Q d the 11th inst. to be a special settling day in the shares of the London and African Trading ' - utepany, after which the transactions are to be recorded in the official lists. „ During the last few days there has been very little business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce markets. Tea has remained dull at previous rates, While sugars have given way about 6d, per cwt. Rice, coffee, fruit, and spices have been in steady request, but a further decline has taken place ii. , t allow for both present and forward delivery, the quotations being, spot 425., and last three months 4 4. Gd, per cwt. Two o'CLocK, At Paris this day, according to Mr. Reuter's teleg ra m, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were 691. 10c. Very flat. At the half-yearly meeting to•day of the London General Omnibus Company, the report, which re commended the payment of a dividend at the rate of five per cent. per annum, free of income tax, was unanimously adopted. The profit made during the half year amounted to £25,349, and the balance at the disposal of the directors was L 20,153. Very little business has been transacted today in the murket for the English Funds, which, however, notwithetanding the prevailing inactivity continue extremely firm. The quotations for Consols are 93 1 a for money, and 93,3 94 for the Bth proximo. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 924 the Thirty Years' ditto, 141 ; Bank Stock is mark ed 240 , and Exchequer Bills are par. The India 5 Per Cent. Loan is 1081-1, and the 51 per Cent.

MA.II,LBOROUGH-STREET. • THE UESANCES REMOVAL ACT,—Tho owner of the house, No. 3, Steel's Court, St. George's, was summoned before Mr Tyrwhitt, under the following circumstances. It appears that on the Bth of July, the owner of the house was summoned before Mr. Mansfield, who was then sitting at this court, for having several rooms in his house in such a filthy state as to be a nuisance and injurious to health, the yard of the house, owing to the overflowing of the water closet and the bad supply of water, being in an exceedingly loathsome state, and endangering the health of the persons residing in the house. After evidence had been given by Mr. James Grant, the Inspector of Nuisan ces, and the medical officer of St. George's, Mr Mansfield made an order that the premises should be cleansed within ten days. From that time to the present no notice has been taken of the order, and Mr. Grant stated that the premises, when he examined them on Saturday last, were in the same filthy state. Mr. Capson, the solicitor for St. George's, said that the present proceedings were taken under the 14th section of the Nuisances Removal Act, under which the owner of the house, by his neglect to obey the order made, had rendered himself liable to a penalty of Hs. a day for every day of his default. After some conversation and evidence that the original order had not been obeyed, _ _ Mr. Tyrwhitt made an order against the owner of the house who, as on the former occasion, did not appear, and was said only to be at the house once a week, when he calls for his rent, for the payment of a penalty of 2s. 6d. a day for 26 days, and costs, Mr Tyrwhitt observing that perhaps that would have the desired effect in putting an end to the nuisance. THE EXILE OF ST. HELENA.. Under the quaint heading of "The man with the Tortoise-shell Spectacles," Mr. GEORGE AUGUSTUS SALA, one of the most brilliant and ready-witted men of letters now upon the English press, has contributed a remarkable paper to the new num ber of the Temple-Bar Magazine for ib p. tember. Enumerating in this bold and honest, this thoroughly outspoken and perfectly truthful paper, some of the many infamous and des picable cruelties inflicted upon Napoleon the Great in the days of his misfortune by the British Govern ment of that time, a Government that was at the very least anything but magnanimous —Mr. Sala has the following remarks in one part of this con tribution, in reference to— THE EMPEROR AND HIS PERSECUTORS. "There was something about this man on the Atlantic rock that was awful, imposing, grandiose, wen in his last and darkest days of desolation and decay; even when he was squabbling with the hyena Hudson Lowe and the jackal Gorrequer over disputed rations of coffee and cheese. The sordid shame of such miserable transactions rests with them, not him. The High Tory English ene mies of Napoleon strove, after Wellington had annihi lated his power in the field, to complete his demolition of his memory by contumely and derision. Their hack writers and led-captains were ordered to say that he was no soldier,lthat he was profligate, that he was ignorant, that he beat his own servants, that he was false to his wife. What has become of his High-Tory slanderers now ? Liver pool, who wanted to give him up to Louis XVIII. as a 'rebel,' and 'to be dealt with accordingly'—that is to say, to be shot in the same spot of the ditch of Vincennes where d'Enghien was slain—Liverpool went mad, and died drivell ing. Castlereagh cut his own throat! The superb Prince Regent, who was too high and mighty to answer the letter addressed to him by the kidnapped captive of the Bellerophon, became 'A king, and died in corporeal rottenness and mental execration, leaving a memory so abhorred even in his own family, that the Queen of England would not suffer the bodies of her mother and her husband to lie in the dis honoured sepulchre of George IV. Of the crowd of hack writers whom High Toryism incited to spurn the dying lion, John Wilson Croker, the chief libeller of the Quar terly Review, is quite forgotten as Secretary of the Admi ralty, but is remembered and contemned as the pander to an infamous nobleman; and Theodore Hook expired a pauper with a nutmeg liver, and the bailiffs hammering at his outward gates. And were poor Sir Walter Scott (who, although he had the misfortune to be a High Tory, was also a Christian gentleman) alive at this moment, I am in clined to think that he would spend his last penny in buy ing up the remainder of his calumnious Lite of Napoleon,' and burn every copy for shame." In another part of the same contribution the editor of the Temple-Bar Magazine goes on to describe some of England's many PALTRY INSULTS TO THE GItLAT CAPTIVE. "Arrived at St. Helena, he was not permitted to occupy the only decent residence in the island, Plantation House —that was set apart for the high and mighty governor, selected by the Tories at home, and now on his way out— but after living for some weeks in a hovel at the end of a garden, in which there was scarcely room to swing a cat, and which belonged to Mr. Balcombe, the gentleman appointed to supply his future establishment with chandlery and butchers' meat, he was thrust into a barn patched up with boards and pitched paper, nailed toge• ther by ships' carpenters, and called Longwood. There, encamping a regiment of infantry at his gates, and posting sentinels at every corner and on every goat-path leading to the sea, and focussing hundreds of cannon upon him, and spying upon him if ever he chose to ride on horseback or walk in his arid garden, they left him to the heat, and the dust, and the mosquitoes, and his own miserable thoughts. They sent him to read only such Engli s h news papers as were filled with abuse of his policy, his family, and himself : and even then the Tories took care never to let him have a complete file, but ingeniously broke the succession, so that his views of co ntemporary history should be muddled and obscure. The high and mighty governor, whose name was Lowe, and who had been an orderly clerk to Marshal Blucher, and the commandant of a horde of Sicilian bandits hired to cut throats by the British Government, came cut in due course; installed himself at Plantation House; insulted the prisoner by asking him to a ball as General' Bonaparte; confiscated the present sent out by good Lady Holland, merely because they bore the inscription To Napoleon the Great;' discovered that the party at Longwood ate too much bread and drank too much salad oil, and insisted upon the expenses being cut down accordingly; and stated to Barry O'Meara that he considered Ali Pasha to be 'a much more respectable scoun drel than Bonaparte.' I forgot to say that he gobbled up all the sound partridges and pheasants which could be procured from the Cape for the exile's wretched table, and only sent to Longwood such game as was utterly putrescent and uneatable. These delicate attentions, combined with some thousand more outrages and insults which I have not space to enumerate here, but which I mean to put some day in a big book (dedicating it to the infamous memories of Liverpool and Castlereagh, not forgetting the master of t hese wretches, the Regent), produced, in a surprisingly brief space of time. the desired effect.

THE WORST TRIM" IN THE DlSTRlCT.—Catherine Har rington, a masculine, bloated, and dissipated woman, ap. parently about 60 years of age, who owned to being 40 only, was charged with stealing a pair of boots and a waistcoat from a sailor named Stephens. Henry Wells, police-constable 49.5 A, said the prisoner had been in custody a great many times—he could not say how often—and had been summarily convicted eight or nine times and sentenced to short periods of imprisonment. She was once convicted at the Cierkenwell Sessions for robbing a sailor of his watch and mcney and stripping him of his clothes at the same time, and was sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment and hard labour. She had very recently been released from prison. In February last she was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with a serious highway robbery. She knocked down and ill-used a seaman in Ratcliff-highway, and robbed him of his watch, and Mr. Selfe would have committed her to the Central Criminal Court for trial, but was prevented from doing so owing to the prosecutor leaving England in his ship for India on the very day she was brought before the magistrate. Mr. Selfe then said no one deserved penal ser vitude for life more than the prisoner, and that he was com pelled to decide the case summarily, under the Criminal Justice Act, because the prosecutor was going to sea, and he sentenced her to sfx months' imprisonment and hard labour. The prisoner had been in the practice of stopping drunken sailors, and she was not over scrupulous about ill using or knocking down any man who made any resistance. The prosecutor in this case said that he was intoxicated yesterday, and that ho was robbed of his waistcoat and boots. A police-constable named Pye, 87 K, stated that ho saw the prisoner and a man come out of a publichouse in Shad well. She was carrying a pair of men's boots. Ho fol lowed the prisoner and took her into custody, on which her companion struck him a violent blow on the side of the head. He secured the prisoner, and her bully ran away. The witness then produced the boots, which were identified by Stephens, who was without any on his feet. The constable said that he found a duplicate relating to a waistcoat on the prisoner. Louisa Brown stated that she saw the sailor asleep on a bench in a publichouse. The prisoner and a man with her were " muddling " the sailor. Catherine Harrington felt in his pockets and could not find any money in them. The prisoner then "muddled" the sailor, and took off his boots. The prisoner was remanded to ascertain whether the ticket of the waistcoat found on her related to the ono stolen from the sailor, and also to bring a proper record and proof of her former conviction at the sessions. WESTMINSTER. THE TOURNAMENT TRUMPETER AT CREMOIVNE. EXTRAORDINARY STORY.— James Naggs and George Easton, two rough-looking fellows, were placed at the bar charged with stealing some money and a watch upon the highway, assisted by a number of others, and with great personal violence. The prosecut , 4., who gave his name James Robert Vokey, and described himself as a professor of gymnastics, said-- Last night, at a quarter past ten, I met these men and five others near Cremorne Gardens, and they robbed me. lam the trumpeter of the tournament at Cremorne, and these men took me to be intoxicated. Mr. Arnold—Why should they take you to be intoxi cated ? Prosecutor—l mean they imagined I was. Mr. Arnold—You imagine that they imagined something. Prosecutor—My usual business is a commercial traveller as well as being a professor of gymnastics and trumpeter of the tournament, but when I am going to my latter employ ment I accustom myself to shake my whip, and that is no reason why I should be robbed ; do you think it is ? Mr. Arnold—Dear me, no; there is nobody suggesting such a thing. Prosecutor—When I ride my mare in the tournament I flourish my whip. Mr. Arnold—Never mind that; tell me what these men did. Prosecutor—They lifted me up by the legs and robbed me. But I believe the nearest (Naggs) to be a very honest young man led away. Mr. Arnold—What next ? Prosecutor—l said to them, " Gentlemen, what do you require?" and they quietly replied, " We want your watch and chain: , I said, "Do you intend to rob me f'' When this ono nearest said, "Throw the old -- into the river;" and I said, " Oh, no ; give sue a chance for my life. I will take either of you singly." See how they have cut me and bruised my head with their violence. They seized by my throat. I had a steel collar on, and now look at my neck. I said I will tackle three of you, although lam 53 years of age, Mr. Arnold—What did you lose? Prosecutor—They robbed me of £1 19s , and when they put me down I let them all go away, and shortly after I again saw Naggs, who asked me if I had lost my watch, and I then found that I had. Mr. Arnold—Now, tell me what Naggs did. Prosecutor—He caught me by the throat. They gar rotted me and used a great deal of violence, Mr. Arnold—What did Easton do? Prosecutor—He held me by the legs. They left my chain, it is worth 10 guineas. You may have it tested, if you like. Easton kicked me, and they intended to murder me. I have no right to be murdered, although I am trumpeter at the tournament at Cremorne. Mr. Arnold—Nobody suggested such a thing. Prosecutor here rambled into so much incoherent matter that he was desired to stand down, every endeavour to obtain a succinct account of the transaction being un availing. Inspector Tarlton said that the prosecutor gave a totally different version of the matter last night. Maenzie, 287 A, proved that he never said a word against the second prisoner until he followed hint to the station. Prosecutor here interrupted the proceedings, and was turned out of court. Evidence was then given to show that he was intoxicated, and had charged other parties with the robbery. Mr. Arnold said it would be an injustice to detain the prisoners upon the prosecutor's unsupported evidence. Prisoners were discharged. MARKETS—This Day. HAY MARKETS.

The writer of this' strange eventful history" of his own inquiries into the problematic truth or falsehood of the pseudo-science of Astrology, has chosen for his title-page, as it appears to us, the most discouraging motto, surely, that was ever pre sented to the eyes of an intending reader at the opening of any volume, whether large or small, good, bad, or indifferent. Quoting from Lord Eldon, he says to his reader, upon this unlucky titlepage—" The mind sickens when it contemplates the voluminous appendages of this suit." The book— as the reader will at once say to himself, musingly, (whatever the suit hinted at may prove to be) the book itself, being the last and the most voluminous of those same appendages, or a resume, or a re chauFee, or a most painstaking enumeration or record of them all ! Having ourselves, in spite of of the repellant motto referred to, run our glance through these pages of undoubted " Curiosities," we may state at once that it answers in its contents to the latest of the above definitions. It is, in plain terms, a narrative by the writer of several years devotee' by him to the examination of a study once popular amongst philosophers, and, what is more, amongst the svorld's greatest philosophers-- men like Bacon and Milton, like Socrates and Aris totle—but nevertheless a study that has long since dropped away from the ken of the professional fre quenters both of the laboratory and the observatory, what we have,here already spoken of, as the pseeedo. science of Astrology. Bitten with a belies; or, let us say, a notion, that there might be yet something after all worthy of examination, even of cre dence, in this old, abandoned, obsolete, exploded science of Astrology, Mr. C. Cooke, a little more than fifteen yearte ago, then a young solicitor just beginning practice, a man (as every word in this book shows quite distinctly) of the strictest honour, of perfect good faith, and of considerable ability— in 1847 began his investigations into this recondite matter, began to collect some of the " Curiosities" he has here, in rather melancholy mood, brought together, and poured out in some twenty chapters and ten sections of an eccentric appendix before the public! The appendix we have called eccentric advisedly ; for it certainly appears to us to be the greatest mistake in the volume, consisting as it does in parts, to all appear ance, of the mere sweepings of the author's study, scraps of hurriedly pencilled notes, many of them, we doubt not, by the writer, supposed long since to have been dropped into the waste paper basket, and carted away from the area-bin by the parish dustman. Not such, however, having been their fate—here, with horrible exactitude, they make their apparation in carefully corrected typography ! In spite of its motto, the book, we can confidently premise to any one who may meditate looking into it, is replete with entertainment. It consists of more than a collection of the " Curiosities of Occult Literature." It is itself a great curiosity as a whole—a psychological curiosity ! It is, so far as we can in any way understand it, a perfeetly honest series of revelations, or, as we may call them in old fashioned phrase, unbosomings, by an avowed Dis ciple of Zadkiel ! It lets the reader into all sorts of secrets, in regard to Mr. Cook's personal experi ences. The author frankly takes the whole world, or at least all those in it who may care tee :listen to him, into his personal confidence. In these astonishingly candid pages, he recounts in rapid succession, among other singular things, his intro duction to Lieut, Morrison, R.N., author of Zad kiel's.Almanac, and other astrological works ; his early'Esperiences ; and his own nativity calculated by Zadkiel in 1849, Besides this, the work relates the Cases of Bell and of Copestick, at Bath, Impri soned for Astrological Practice. It quotes at full length a Leading Article written by us eleven years ago in this newspaper. It reproduces the Author's Anonymous Letter thereupon,also in this newspaper. It describes the attempts made to establish the Wellington Telescope Company, Capital £lO,OO0 — Promoted by Lieut. Morrison, and " Approved" by Lord Brougham. It relates the whole history of the Cardiff and Glamorgan Coal Company, Capital £50,000; the Early History of the Emperor Life Assurance Society ; and the Publication of the Author's first Work, the " Plea for Urania." Not the least interesting part of the volume, how ever, has reference to a subject quite apart from its immediate purpose—being descriptive, this inci dental chapter (a very readable one, by the way)— carefully and (as ever with Mr. Cook) very honestly descriptive of a trip made by him across the Atlantic and through the then still nominally United States of America j us t b e f ore th e d ate o f t h e i r actual dis ruption. " Ast ro l og y i n a Nutshell," a minor pro duction of the writer's, was published after his return from America. To this little brochure he also here makes reference; as likewise to the foundation of the Astro-Meteorological Society, of which, during its existence, he acted, as his much-avowing title page tells us, as its solicitor. The Book under notice we certainly regard as having its moral. And the moral it teaches, appears to be in every way so impressive that we commend it to the thoughtful scrutiny of all who may have a hanker.. ing after these same researches into occult litera ture. Whatever money Mr. Cooke may have ex pended while making his researches in that direc tion, he has certainly for one thing greatly enlarged his experience of men and things, and, while doing so, we must add, has lost nothing whatever of what appears to us his chief and most attractive charac teristic, a great natural ingenuousness o. character !

CARDINAL ItIARIO SFORZA, ARCHBISTIOP OF NAPLES.—Sir George Bowyer, in a letter dated Radley-park, Sept. 4, to our chief contemporary, writes : In a leading article to-day yOu describe Cardinal Riario Sforza as "an ornamental prelate," enjoying all the ameni ties of a luxurious courtly existence. This is a mistake. Cardinal Riario Sforza is a man of saintly and mortified life. Though of princely birth, he has always lived in severe self-denial, devoted to the poor, the sick, and the afflicted. I will only mention one trait of his character. When the cholera broke out at Naples he was absent on account of bad health, He immediately hastened to his people. lie passed night and day in the hospitals among the sick, at the risk of his life—dispensing with the most unbounded charity the consolations of religious and temporal relief. He expended all ha had. He then sold everything of value that he possessed, When all was gone he borrowed money on his personal credit, that he might relieve the poor, the termination of the pestilence he was left quite in penury. His heroic charity earned for him the title of " the St. Charles Borromeo" of Naples. But this is only one instance of the benevolence of a man whose whole life has been con stant devotion, charity, and self-denial. CHARGE OF INDECENT ASSAULT AGAINST A MANUFACTURER.—At the police-court, Notting ham, on Friday, four young Women, respectably dressed, applied to the magistrates for a summons against a factory owner in whose employment they were. One of the young women stated that whilst she was engaged at her usual work, her employer came behind her and perpetrated the assault. The three other young women present hadhaltsoo been assaulted in a similar manner. They did not w t is prosecute if they could get the wages due to them, but agaia,til were determined not to return to the establishment of The magistrates said they could not order the payment ont the wages, but if the applicants wished sum monses for the indecent assaults they would women stated In reply to Mr. Clayton, one of the youngwaa aged 50 years, tot be granted. that the gentleman she complained ,h o e t and was married, with a family. d l ian. summons was then granted.—Nof.tingham Daily 6 .l uar A letter dated Stock- DENMARK AND SWEDE- - :—" The visit of the holm, Ist September, with some result.

Royal Mario Lialrt Infantry—Second Lieutenant SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. --LASTEvENING. TATTERSALL'S The near approach of the St. Leger, or any int a o o t f hergrea event, necessarily draws to ge th er the majority subscri bers to the Subscription R oom ; and taking n considera tiong periodt h various year, counter-attractions th e attendance e d B o p r o n r r this afternoon was quite up to th e average. ward tendency of Lord Clifden durin g th e two previous days served as another inducement, and on their assembling in the room Lord St. Vincent's horse was put up at the long odds of 20 to 1, at which figure ho remained for some considerable time, no one feeling inclined to come to the rescue ; but just at the finish 100 to 6 was accepted about him twice to a "pony." An impression, however, pre vailed that it was only an attempt to stay his downward tendency ; and although he left off at the price quoted below, his lordship was pronounced almost on all sides " gone." The Ranger, who had been supported in the City on Saturday and this morning,was again in immense force, anything over 7 to 2 having been accepted, but at the close layers would not increase those odds by a fractional part. 15 to 2 was booked several times about Avenger, one wall known speculator having backed him to win £2,000 ; but before the lawn was cleared 7 to 1 was the highest offer. Golden Pledge met with some support at 9 to 1, but at half a point more even the winner of the Ebor Handicap would have had a host of friends. Borealis was frequently in quired after, and at 100 to 6 was supported to money : while Blue Mantle, who " touched" those odds once or twice, had some strong opposition from a well known bookmaker, who laid 20 to 1 several times, from which Captain Lane's horse scarcely rallied during the afternoon. Mogador, who was said to be such a wonder fully improved horse, had an equally wonderful demon stration made against him, 1,000 to 15 being offered. The subjoined list of prices at the close will sufficiently indicate the tone of the market. GREAT 'YORKSHIRE EANDICAP.

For the St. Leger, Queen Bertha is in almost as great favour as ever, 11 to 2 being the highest offer against her at the close. 10 to 1 was taken freely about Golden Pledge, and Blue Mantle advanced to 10 to 1 (taken). Lord Clifclen has still a downward tendency; 100 to 4 was laid against him, and 20 to 1 freely cffered at the close. Early in the day 2 to 1, and in some instances longer odds were laid that he would run for the St. Leger, but later on 2 to lwas laid that he did not see the starter.

POLISH INDEPENDENCE. A public meeting of the inhabitants of Chelsea to express their sympathy with the present struggle for Polish independence, was held last evening at the Vestry-hall, King's-road, Chelsea —Mr. Hall, vestryman, in the chair. A deputation was in at tendance from the National League for the Inde pendence of Poland, consisting of Messrs. Beales, Facey, Odger, Stainsby, and J. R. Ta y lor. The CHAIRMAN having a p o logised for the ab sence of the rector, the Rev, Mr. Blunt, who Was pre _ his hearty sympathy With the vented by a pressing e ngagement from t a ki ng the chair, and exp ressed object of the meeting, Mr. RABBrTTS, a vestryman, moved the following resolution : ~ That the devoted and 1 feelf-sacrifi • p o l e s in all the ir previous struggl es in defence either of t h e i r own rights or of the liberties of oth er na ti ons, as we ll a s in their present struggl e f or the recovery of the freedom a nd independence of their country, entitles them to the cor dial affection and support of every free people; whilst the atrocious conduct o f th e Russians in their past misrule and and oppression of P o l an d , in the war they are now so savagely waging f or i ts renewed subjugation, is a scandal to and an Christend om Dr. insult to humanity.' , FARNESS seconded the resolution, which was supported by Mr. E. BEALES, in a lengthened speech, and carried by acclamation. Dr. T .L , EVISON moved a resolution ' approving of the objects of the newly-formed National League for Polish independence, which was seconded by Mr. G. ODGER, and carried unanimously. Mr. FACEY moved the adoption of the following address to the Polish people:— "Poles I— We admire the devoted heroism displayed by all ranks and both sexes in your afflicted country in your present righteous and terrible struggle for national indepen dence. We abhor the brutal ferocity and sanguinary atro cities of your enemies and oppressors in the warfare they are waging for your renewed subjugation. We earnestly pray for, and :•liall heartily rejoice in, your success and triumph. Your appeal to the peoples and Governments of Europe, as brethren, to recognise your national and belligerent eighth to sever all alliance with the Czar of Russia as King of Po land, and to declare that Russia has no right to rule over you, claims our warmest sympathy and is entitled to our best support. We thus cordially respond to that appeal in the conviction—a conviction forced upon us by all the his tory of the past, as well as by the facts of the present age— that the re- establishment of your country as a powerful and independent nation, while it is the only atonement that can satisfy justice and humanity for the crimes of its original dismemberment and the subsequent cruelties to which it has been subjected, is imperatively demanded by the soundest policy as essential to the permanent peace and welfare of Europe, and as a protection and safeguard against incessant disorder and frightful convulsions, and all the lawless ex cesses and aggressive rapacity of armistic arbitrary Power'" Mr. STAIN SBY seconded the address, which was agreed to. Mr. J. R. TAYLOR, the secretary of the lea g ue, having Qaaressed the meeting, a vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings.
