Quartern Loaf, 41b. 21b. 20z..,w4Nd The affairs of the Assembly of the Estates of the Duchy of Brunswick, which there was reason to hope would soon be brought to a conclusion, are likely in consequence of several circumstances to become daily more and more embarrassed; for his Highness the Duke, as we hear, not only positively refused a short time before his departure for Paris, to receive communications from the two Com mittees of the Estates, which have hitherto been incessantly engaged in business, but even forbid all persons in Lis service who are members of those Committees, or of the Estates themselves, to have any communication with them. By these two de cisive measures the Estates may be considered as in a manner disorganised, so that especially when we consider the manner in which the Chamberlain, Von Cram, has been treated, it must be very diffi cult for them to defend their cause. As matters now stand, it almost seems as if the Constitution defended by the Estates were near its end. _ We hear that in future games of chance will be permitted during the fair at Brunswick, which have hitherto been prohibited by a penalty of 100 ducats. It seems that a large sum has been offered for the farm of them, and the contract is said to be already concluded. 911 HE COMMISSIONERS of the NORTHERN LIGHTHOUSES hereby give Notice, that a LIGHTHOUSE has been ERECTED upon TARBETNESS, in the MORAY FRITH, the Light of which will be exhibited on the night of FRIDAY, the 29th day of January current, and every night there after, from the going away of daylight in the evening till the return of daylight in the - morning. The following is a specification of the position of the Lighthouse, and the appearance of the Light, by Mr. Stevenson, Engineer to the Commissioners : Tarbetness forms the north-eastern extremity of Cro martyshire, situate in lat. 57 deg. 54 min. north, and in long. 3 deg. 47 min. west, distant about 12 miles from the entrance to Cromarty Frith. By Compass, the Light house bears from the sunken rocks called the Three Kings and the King's Sons, N.E. a E. distant nine miles; from Halliman's Scares, lying off Covesea or Cowsey Point, N.N. W. A W. distant 18 miles ; from Clythness S.W. by W. 1- W, distant 31 miles; and from Culloden Rock, W. by S, distant one mile. Tarbetness Light will be known to Mariners as an In termittent Light, suddenly appearing like a star of the first magnitude, and continuing in view 2 minutes, when it is suddenly eclipsed for half a minute; thus producing its characteristic effect once in every three minutes. It must, however, be observed, that within the Moray Frith, in a south-westerly direction from Tarbetness, where the Light cannot be mistaken for any other on the Coast, it will be permanently visible, until the Mariner pass within a Line drawn from Tarbetness through a point half a mile sea ward of the King's Sons, when it will be intercepted from his view by the high land of the coast. The interception of the light by the land will thus form a direction to avoid these dangerous Rocks. The Lantern is open or glazed seaward from S.W. W. to W. N. and is elevated Ilb fret above the medium level of the sea. The Light, in clear weather, will be seen at the distance of five or six leagues, and at lesser distances, according to the state of the atmosphere. By order of the Commissioners of the Northern Light houses, C. CUNING HAM, Sec. Edinburgh, 14th January, 1830. THE MARKETS. SOUTIIALL MARKET.—Feb. 10.

" iIII LORD,—I beg to call your Lordship's at tention to the various discussions which have taken place between his Majesty's Government and the Legislature of Jamaica, on the subject of the collec tion and appropriation of the duties levied under the 6th Geo. IV. cap. 114. Your Lordship will not fail to per ceive that his Majesty's Government have been throughout these discussions most solicitous to reconcile the due administration of the public inte rests which are confided to them with the views and wishes of the Colonial Assembly. In deference to the wishes of the Assembly, they have been willing to take upon themselves the responsibility of sanc tioning the collection of the duties in a different mariner from that which is prescribed by the Act of Parliament. They have only required that the salaries of the Customs' officers should be paid from the period when the fees ceased, and should be so secured as to place them upon the footing of inde pendence, without which it cannot be expected that their offices would be duly executed. The Assembly was invited to take the rate of the salaries into their consideration, and to furnish his Majesty's Govern ment with an opinion as to their fairness. The Committee which was appointed in consequence, arid whose report was adopted by the Assembly, did not find that the salaries (with some very trifling exceptions) were more than sufficient, and this ap pears, indeed, to have been the previous opinion of the Assembly when they passed an annual Act making provision for the salaries. His Majesty's Government could not therefore be prepared to ex pect that the Assembly would refuse the same sala ries for the year 1826 which were approved for 1827 and 1828, and they left the mode of making the provision to the discretion of the :Assembly, although the mode which they had adopted of rais ing the money for the years 1827 and 1828 =not by any internal tax, but by a tonnage duty, was cer tainly not the one which his Majesty's Government would have preferred. The money, which had been levied by the Collector of the Customs pre viously to the provision being made for the salaries of those years, was directed to be retained in his hands only until similar provision should be made retrospectively for 1826, and should be permanently secured. His Majesty's Government could not suppose that the Assembly would reject a proposal which went no further than to apply to the period which had been passed over, and to fix for the future the same principle of arranging the matter in dis pute which the Assembly bad themselves approved and adopted. That this proposal should have re sulted in the subversion of the existing arrangement, and the renewal of the double collection was, there fore, unexpected; and still less could his Majesty's Government anticipate that the Assembly would resent the proposal, and adopt, apparently upon no other ground, a measure of so extreme a character, and so questionable in its prudence, as that of stop ping the supplies for the troops. " These proceedings were of a nature to occasion more inconvenience to the public service. His Ma jesty's Government were unwilling to consider them in a more serious light, as evincing a disposition on the one side which must lead to extreme measures on both. It had not escaped his Majesty's Govern ment, that their successive attempts to get rid of the several matters in dispute between the mother country and the colony had not been met in the spirit of conciliation in which they had been con. ceived,and had led to no useful results. They have, nevertheless, been desirous to persevere in the same , course, so long as they shall be enabled to indulge a hope that the Assembly have not attached them selves inflexibly to a line of policy by which all en deavour at compromise and conciliation must be rendered ineffectual. " His Majesty's Government have found it diffi cult to persuade themselves that the Assembly of Jamaica will persist in opposing an insurmountable obstacle to the desire which is entertained to afford them adequate military protection. They have therefore caused the necessary funds to be advanced for continuing the troops in Jamaica during the pre sent year, when they have been deprived of their supplies by the Assembly; and I enclose to your Lordship herewith a a copy of a letter addressed to this department by direction of the Lords Com missioners of the Treasury, in which you will find set forth the terms on which their Lordships will consent that the affair of the Customs' duties should be adjusted for a period of seven years. " Your Lordship will perceive that, on the con sent of the Assembly being given that the salaries of the Customs' officers shall be secured for that period, and that provision shall be made for the sala ries which were unprovided for in 1825, you are authorised to instruct the collector to pay over to the Colonial Treasury the sum which was levied by him before the double collection ceased, and you will consider the same principle of arrangement to be ap plicable to the sums which shall have been levied by him since the double collection was resumed, the condition being always that the salaries for the period shall be provided for by the Assembly. If the col lector shall lie unable to make these payments from monies in his hands, he must consider himself au thorized to draw bills upon the Receiver-General of the Customs in London. " But your Lordship must regard it as an essen tial condition of this arrangement,that the Assembly should undertake to pay the arrears of the supplies, as well as to renew the former provision for the troops: " If the Assembly, persevering in this proposal the real desire which is felt to terminate the diffe rence with the colony in a friendly manner, shall show a corresponding disposition on their part, his Majesty's Government will have satisfaction in hear ing that the arrangement is concluded ; for, though material concessions will have been made, they will be considered as more than counterbalanced by the re-establishment of an amicable intercourse between the Assembly of Jamaica and the Government of THE NEGOCIATION WITH ENGLAND. (From the New York Evening Post, Jan. 14.) Two or three days since we copied from the Port land Argus a letter on the subject of the recovery of the West India trade, written by some person at Washington. The writer, it will be recollected, spoke with the utmost confidence of the prospect of regaining that trade, mentioning as his author►ty let ters, received at the seat of Government from per sons in E,ngland, who were in a situation to form a correct judgment of the matter. We have, however, the best reasons for believing that the language of the letter in the Argus is much stronger than is warranted by thereal state of the case. That there exists a pros pect of recovering the West India trade for this country we believe to be true; but it is true also, that the difficulties in its way are very great, and it ought not to be matter of disappointment should they eventually prevent the success of the negociation. The feeling which at the present moment prevails in England towards the United States, is not such as to favour a frank discussion, or an amicable settle ment of difference between the two countries. The feeling of cordiality towards our nation, which were springing up among the British people and States men, has not only been checked, but turned into a principle of and bitterness. Whether justly or not, the policy pursued by our late Administrat►on has, as we learn from a source on which we place implicit reliance, been regarded as decidedly and purposely hostile to Great Britain, and as having its cause in a deep-seated enmity on the part of our nation. The circumstance that we had elected for our President a man who had, while Secretary of State, publicly denounced England in a 4th of July oration,--the tone of his messages, and of the other papers of his Cabinet,—the cautious, distrust ful, and temporizing policy (for so they term it) of his negociations,—and finally, the adoption of the late tariff, by the Legislature of the nation, have created a settled prejudice against us, and an entire conviction of our animosity towards them. On the subject of the tariff, in particular, a great irritation is manifested. It is looked upon, in Great Britain, as a measure which, whatever may be its ultimate effect, was taken with a direct view of injuring their interests, and which put the seal of the national approbation upon the hostile policy of the late Cabinet. Thus, the old feeling of antipathy, to which our revolution gave rise, has, in some measure, revived, and there is a general disposition to question the sincerity of any friendly professions on our part. The nation is disposed, by this state of public opinion, to ac quiesce in any ungracious reception with which the Ministry may meet our overtures for negociation, without inquiring whether they were likely to prove for the advantage of Britain or otherwise. The obstacles which such a state of things op poses to a sincere and successful negociation are evident. It is exceedingly fortunate, under these circumstances, that Mr. M'Lane has been ap pointed a Minister at the Court of St. James. The noble frankness and sincerity of his character, the evidence of which is borne i❑ his whole deportment, his clear good sense, and his utter disdain of low cunning, inspire respect and attract confidence wherever he appears. Only such a man could do any thing to remove the suspicion and distrust which stand in the way of a successful negociation with England. We learn that he has already made a highly favourable impression in that country, and that he has done much to remove the prejudices against us. We want no better representative of our national character, whether considered in a moral or intellectual point of view, at any Court in the world than Mr. M‘Lane. In the hands of al most any body else, the negociation would most certainly have failed. In his, if the prospect of success be not so certain as we could wish, it is not at least hopeless. The water in the river Catn, in consequence of the sudden breaking up of the frost, has risen to a greater height than remembered for some years. On Monday and Tuesday last nearly all the meadows and gardens, as well as several of the College walks, in the immediate vicinity of the river, were inundated.—Cam bridge Chronicle. AUTHENTIC ANECDOTE OF THE LATE RICHARD BRINSLEY SHERIDAN.-Many anecdotes have been related of this distinguished character, and some not the most advantageous to his principles or economy in pri vate life. The following, however, places his parental feelings in the most amiable point of view, and may be de pended on as a fact, having been witnessed by the gentle man from whom it was obtained. It is well known that Mr. SHERIDAN was never overburdened with money, and at the period we are now alluding to suffered much from pecuniary inconvenience about the year 1806 and 1807. It was at this period the relator chanced to enter a china warehouse, to make sols 2 purchases, at the cor ner of Pall-mall, when ?Yin SHERIDAN entered, and desired the master of the shop to hand him his account and he would settle it. After turning over his books the shopkeeper stated the amount of the debt to be 191. odd, and requested to know if he should include his son's ac count with it. Mr. SHERIDAN appeared taken by sur prise, and asked if his son had incurred any bill there. He then, after a little pause, said be wished to be informed of the amount, and was told that Mr. T. SHERIDAN had been on the books for a considerable time, and that the bill amounted to between 30/. and 40/. After a short silence, Mr. SHERIDAN desired his son's account to be given to him, and immediately paid it ; but saying th it it not being convenient at the moment to settle both, lie would for the present leave his own, and take an early opportunity of settling it. CRUEL SUPERSTITIONS OF A PHYSICAL NATURE.—China i s t o l era bly free from direct cruelty in her religious superstitions; at least, she allows nothing at all that can compare with llindoo Suttees, except her horrible infanticid e —whi c h, by the way, is not induced by religious superstiti on , but by hard-hearted scepticism, and the visionary dreams of political economy, which says the young stranger has no right to the board of privileged fathers, and therefore must begone. But China has her Authoronophagi-medici ; those who, for medical purposes, feed on various parts of the human body. The murder of a young lad at Macao, three years ago, was occasioned by the misbelief that a portion of human flesh would restore a dying man ; and the executioner of ten thousand, mentioned in the Canton Register, exhibited for sale, the other day, the gall-bladder of a man he had cut to pieces, in which grains of rice were steeped, to be eaten daily, in specified numbers. On turning to the Penal Code, it appears that a man of the Hoong-shan district, named LAW, was on a former occa sion brought to justice for procuring a portion of human gall, at the price of 120 taals of silver. And about the year 1811, a man in Che Kaang, named CHANG, was con victed, who had, in the course of 16 years, caused the death of 11 young girls, that he might drink certain fluids to add vigour to his constitution. The twelfth victim to his cannibalism escaped to be a witness against him; and the " man in form, but brute in nature," as the official document characterises the atrocious criminal, was put to death by a slow and ignominious punishment. The wretch, when he died, was about 70 years of age. Sixteen fami lies who had suffered by his horrible propensity were sum ' mo oned to attend his exe cuti on , th a t o f being cut to pieces. We have done what we thought right upon the subject of Lord Graves's destruction : we have pro fessed what we believed. We have some know ledge of the public sentiment, and we think it neces sary to inform the family, that the public does not go with us. They will do what they think proper! A correspondent suggests a remedy.—Times. The recently arrived Papers from the United States contain matter of some importance to the commerce and shipping interests of this country. All expeetation that the tariff would be modified into a shape less unfavourable to the introduction of British manufactured goods, appears to be dis couraged by the report of the committee of Con gress on that subject, which maintains the absolute inexpediency at present of meddling in any way with the regulations of the tariff. The chief 1 grounds alleged in defence of this opinion are-Ist. That the tariff being now the law of the land, " the faith and honour of the Government are pledged to its rigid execution." But according to such an argument, a measure, bad in itself and iiijurious to society, ought to be upheld for no. other reason than that the Goverment has pledged its honour to commit a certain portion of public wrong. 2d. That some interests having derived but little benefit from the tariff, and others more, and the great fears entertained respecting the effi ciency of some of its provisions having been re alized in practice, while the causes of their failure are still to be ascertained, it would be premature to undertake an alteration of it. 3d. That the tariff being approved by a great majority of the nation, any effort to alter it would be fruitless. The acknowledged impossibility of a thing is no doubt a good reason for not attempting it.-4th. The fears entertained by manufacturers that the tariff would be altered, have, it seems, deterred some persons from embarking in, and others from carrying to the full extent, various walks of in dustry, which depended for their success on the stability of the existing regulations. Any measure which served to justify such fears, would there fore but aggravate the above mentioned evils.- sth. So long as any hope is encouraged of alter ing the regulations of the tariff, foreign manufac turers will continue to throw in their articles upon the United States, " be the losses and sacrifices ever so great ;"—that is to say, that the Ameri can consumer will profit by the competition be tween foreign fabrics and those of the United States : therefore, by all means, argues the re port, let us crush every chance of such competi tion, and secure the home monopoly unmolested. With the addition of one or two remarks about smuggling, which it appears that the tariff has by no means effectually obviated, we have now given the substance of this interesting report. It does not, undoubtedly, belong to England to declaim with much violence against any "protection," as it is called, of native industry in the United States. Nor, if it be true, as insisted on by the editor of the American Evening Post, in an article on the " negotiations with England," that the tariff has occasioned a great national animosity here against America, because of the notion entertained that the measure originated in feelings of hatred to Great Britain, can such animosity be too soon got rid of, as a most silly, groundless, and unworthy sentiment. We do not believe one word of the assertion that the tariff arose out of any dislike to England, but merely and simply out of that dispo sition which actuates most nations, and none more than England herself, to prefer what they conceive to be their own interest to those of foreigners. Nay, were not the several classes of merchants, manufac turers, and land-owners, in the United States, themselves as much possessed by that rival selfish ness, and upon the very subject of the tariff too, as were the advocates of American, in opposition to British manufacture ? And what right have we to quarrel with Americans for establishing a mono poly in their own favour to the exclusion of English goods ? Do we attribute the furious spirit of mo nopoly evinced by our own silk manufacturers, our glovers, our iron-masters, our wool-growers, our ship-owners, our agriculturists, to hatred of all classes of us their countrymen, whom they would tax,—nay, whom some among them would starve, — to serve themselves and their own individual pro fits ? No, it is all all self-love in America, as in England ; there is, we believe, notwithstanding a little occasinal growl between John Bull and Jona than, an infinitely stronger disposition towards solid friendship and fraternity between them than between any two other nations under Heaven. So far from this moment being, according to the American edi tor, (who wishes to enhance the merit of General Jackson's Government as compared with that of his predecessor), unfavourable to the success of a ne gotiation with England on behalf of the United States, we think we can affirm, from a pretty ex tensive observation of the feeling of this country towards our trans-Atlantic brethren, that old annoy ances are hourly wearing out, and that there never did exist a time when impartial justice might be arrived at between the two Governments with less risk of interruption from national prejudices here. At the same time let us add, that neither now, nor at any period, do we consider it likely that America will obtain from this country, unless its negotiations be conducted in absolute secrecy, and by incapable or dishonest agents, the concession of advantage, which can only be yielded to the injury of some im portant British interest or object. Mr. Machines doubtless, is as likely as any other individual to ob tain for America whatever she can rightfully solicit : he is a courteous gentleman, shrewd, dexterous, and persevering; but we doubt whether he will suc ceed, because we are inclined to think he ought not, in wresting the exclusive supply of our West India colonies from the North American provinces of Eng land, and in transferring it to the United State. A vast portion of the prosperity of the Canadas de pends on their enjoying this traffic, and we hope that it will not, by any act of the Duke of Welling ton's Administration, be taken away from them, af ter the confident prospects of its stability held out to the empire by Mr. Canning.—lbid. We are curious to see under what heads, and to what amount, Ministers intend to propose to dimi nish the public expenditure. A considerable reduc tion of the army is said to be one—and that the principal. One of the advantages which the country was taught to believe would flow from Catholic Emancipation, would be the setting frPe. and ren dering useless, a great part of the enormous military force with which it has so long been found neces sary to garrison Ireland; and the time is now come when either the consequences should follow, or the falsehood of the augury be acknowledged. But on this head of military reduction it is right that the public should bear in mind that there is much fallacy in the apparent saving, after all ; for, though 10,000 men be reduced, the whole of their pay is not saved to the country, great part of them falling immedi ately upon the Dead Weight, besides the whole, or nearly the whole, being returned to the parishes from whence they originally came, to swell, unhap pily in the present state of things, the ranks of pau perism, and increase that heavy rate which, in ano ther shape of taxation, bears down the productive classes. On this head, however, great deductions in the public expenditure doubtless will be made, and might have been already made, had Parliament been called together, as it ought to have been, three months ago. What the proposed reductions in the The East Retford discussion commenced last night. There can be no question that it would be much better to have Birmingham or Manchester re presented than either East Retford or the Hundred of Bassetlaw. Lord Howick asked, " Did any man suppose that corruption would be stopped by an occasional disfranchisement ?—(Hear, hear.) — If four Sessions were supposed to be usefully em ployed in the consideration of a.e propriety of dis franchising East Retford, surely they could not be better employed than in devoting a portion of their time to a consideration of the whole state of the Representation. He feared, however, that the motives of the supporters of even the partial reform were very different, and that they were disposes to punish the clumsiness of the criminals, not to put an end to the system which made them guilty.— (Hear.)—He feared that it was little more than a device to distract the attention, and to guard and keep from the light of day all the vices of the system, which they were afraid to see exposed.— (Hear.)"—There is, we think, much force in this. East Retford differs from the rest of the places possessing the franchise (with a few exceptions), not in being more corrupt, but more clumsily cor rupt ; and there is this difference between the openly venal places and the places which belong to patrons, that the latter rivet the chains of the people, where as the former may be bought by independent and upright men. But the great objection to these petty attempts is the waste of that time which is due to matters of more consequence. Mr. O'Connell, indeed, opposed to the Noble Lord a supposition. " Suppose," said he," during the late heavy snows a number of wolves (say a hundred and fifty) had rushed from the Pyrennees into the south of France, and that one of them had been so clumsy and inactive as to allaw himself to be wound ed, driven up into a corner, and taken, what would have been thought of the man who should have start ed forward and exclaimed, ' 0 don't kill this wolf, for there are a hundred arid forty-nine wolves who have escaped ?'—(Hear, bear, and a laugh.) Si milar to this, however, was the recommendation of the Noble Lord." Not, precisely similar, Mr. O'Connell. We think we could improve the supposition. Suppose the cattle of a village to be unprotected ; that 150 wolves made an at tack on them ; that the villagers succeeded in driv ing them off, and observing one more clumsy than the rest, that in the hope of destroying. it, they spent that time in the pursuit of it which ought to have been employed in an endeavour to secure their cattle, and that the 149 wolves, impelled by hun ger, returned in the night to the attack, when the villagers, wearied with the pursuit of the clumsy wolf, were buried in slumber. The danger from 119 Iwelves was not less than from 150, and the pursuit and destruction of one was without result, while the time employed in the pursuit might have been beneficially employed in securing the cattle. Mr. Peel's speech was exceedingly amusing. " Now, Sir (said the Right Honourable Gentleman), with respect to the alleged preponderance of a Landed Aristocracy in this House, I beg Honourable Ge tlemen to examine it the landed interest really be preponderant. For observe, my Right Honourable Friend objects to the introduction of even one Re presentative of a particular branch of the landed in terest; and he wished me to remove one Honour able Member for Yorkshire (Mr. Stuart Wortley), who is a landed proprietor, and to place upon it the other Member (Mr. Marshall), who is a commer cial man—(Hear, hear) —instead of the almost single Representative of the landed interest.— (Hear, hear.)" Why there is no question here between landed and commercial interests; and how an inference can be drawn one way or another as to preponderance, puzzles us extremely. The reason for naming commercial men, was not to thwart the country gentlemen, who have as strong an interest in the extension of the commerce of the country as :he rest of the community, but to communicate to the Committee the skill in commercial subjects necessary to the conducting the inquiry in a satis factory way. If we were to hear that from a Select Committee to inquire into the policy of our Corn Legislation the Country Gentlemen were de signedly excluded, we should then begin to think that the Landholders did not predominate in Par liament. Without wishing to question the purity of Mr. Peel's constituents of Westbury, and having every disposition to believe that it was only after satisfying themselves by a painful and most conscien tious inquiry into the conduct of the Right Hon. Gentleman that his constituents arrived at the con clusion that their interests might be safely confided to him, who would be so much alive to the great stake they possessed in the country, still it is asking ton much from us to infer from the purity of West bury the purity of other cities and boroughs, even though he was " quite sure that the Members for Cities and Boroughs would never consent to having so great a stigma cast upon their constiu ents without proof." They till, no doubt, re present honestly enough the interests which place them in the Honourable House. It may be a calumny that Boroughs are bought and sold. Mr, Peel may believe that, with the exception of the two or three places, which, like Mr. O'Connell's clumsy wolves have been caught, no Boroughs have ever been sold. Mrs. Simony, in the play, says the dear Doctor, her husband, was no schoolmaster—he not only believed the 39 articles, but would readily believe nine times as many. We quarrel not with Mr. Peel's faith. But the people of England have begun to think that they ought to have some share in return ing those who vote away their money. The people of Westbury may be very worthy and incorrupt ; but it would be curious what proportion the property of the inhabitants of Westbury bears to the share of the taxes of this country, corresponding to their share of the representation. But the question is perfectly understood ; and when the time comes, the merits of Westbury and the other cities and boroughs bearing a resemblance to it, will be adjusted without much difficulty.—.llfornirig Chronicle. THE MANNERS Or THE DAY.—" It was a bold attempt in the author of this new novel of Fashion able Life" says a contemporary critic, "to construct an eventually happy marriage out of a union between a man of forty, placed at the summit of worldly wealth and am bition, and a gay, giddy, and ill-educated girl of eighteen, of surpassing personal beauty and bred in the country; yet the success of the attempt is complete. Altogether this work farms a moving panorama of the manners of the day, which it is impossible to contemplate without an accession to our stores of knowledge acquired through the medium of unfailing amusement, and which will doubtless obtain for the author a place among the first no velists of the day." We are informed that the rents of house property in this city and its vicinity are rather higher than at the same period last year, which, i■ some degree, shows an improvement of the times --Edinburgh Advertiser. ~ T - ~Z ~,':::I ~: si, the • to 6 6 6 i 6 7 i F.
