They appear, however, to •. . • be inten . , as temples, rather than posts of observation. " The great facility of breaching, by means of mines, a fort thus • constructed, renders it, in the hands of most native states, a mere bugbear in the face of an enterprising enemy. TheJats, however, ' A --• --•':' 4 • would make a g a ll an t d e f ence in the breach of such a lofty emi nence; and, in the hands of the English, famine alone, or failure in military supplies, could render it untenable ; for the extent is NW M. .... too great to afford much fear from shells, and any imaginable breach in that cliff, with a crowd of armed Britons at the summit, PRICE would be an awful ladder to renown. These are considerations too much neglected by us in the present day. We find these forts yield to our arms almost without a struggle, and we attribute to defect of construction what is really due to the YOON TIL cowardice of the besieged. It is true that the plunging fire from their walls is not much to be dreaded, and that, without trenches, the operation of mining may at once be commenced be neath the cliff; but, on the other hand, the garrison are exempt from all molestation by the fire of the besiegers, excepting in the instances of their shells, and would thus be enabled to preserve their strength unbroken for the breach. Upon that breach not a .............. gun could be brought to bear from below ; and the neighbouring '.D ot heights; all considerably depressed beneath the level of the works, ' MEN and at no inconsiderable distance from them, would afford no p 0..• ers ft 'al sition from which an effectual fire could be maintained, or . from which a shot could be ventured during the assault; while the breach itself would in all probability be a stee p hill side, _ encum bered with massive fragments, sufficiently difficult to surmount - in the absence of danger, and almost hopeless - in the face' of a :de. termined enemy, who could not be molested in intrenching it. • A sap carrieti, up such a height would be amost arduous and desperate undertaking, and, unless some means of nightly escalade could be devised, the efforts of the besiegers would be sufficiently hope les., We have seen and felt what it is to surmount a lofty wall of soft sand in the case of Bhurtrore, which is a mere molehill in comparison. So that if the Government is desirous of preserving a few strongholds in the country, which were no unwise policy, it could scarcely do better than retain such hill forts as Owalior, when they chance to fall hit° its hands. Of the city of Gwalior little need be said. With every facility for building at hand, it possesses few edifices that can attract the attention, and, for the capital of a large state, is very far below mediocrity in every respect, whether we regard the narrowness of its limits, the poverty of its streets and buildings, or the almost. entire want of that appearance of busy traffic which characterises all important towns under. the .Britisb _ Government. Indeed, theie is little ,temptation to the import of merchandise in a country so infested with open robbers, and with every species of extortion,under the plea of customs. ~ - , " The residency of Owalior is a mean building, and scarcely any sort of state has been kept up by the British representative. It has only been on the occasion of a visit of ceremony from the Go. vernor.General to the Maharaja that the place .has presented any scenes of pomp. Sindia kept up an army of aemi.disciplined troops -30,000 strong, officered by Portuguese. and Eurasian gentlemen; but hew this will stand after the present ethos has been reduced to , , order it is difficult to say." tct. cirr • , u k . • I; • • t , a , 43 , r 111111 \ It ' -.•• _ 4104,. .

DISASTROUS GALES.—The BOARD of , MANAGEMENT of the SHIPWRECKED FISHERMEN and MARINERS' BENEVOLENT SOCIETY have received letters from var;ous of their auxiliary branches, containing the most painful accounts of- the wrecks occasioned by the late unexpected gales. In many instances fishermen and mariners have perished, leaving their widows, orphans, and aged parents in complete destitution ; and in other eases where the lives of the crews of vessels and boats have been preserved, the men have lost all that they possessed, and been landed at a distance from their own homes. The demands upon the funds of the Society have, there fore, been both heavy and numerous to administer to the neces sities of the surviving relatives of the deceased, and to clothe, shelter, and forward to their families the castaway mariners. The Board of Management entreat that the public will continue to render them that assistance which tkey have hitherto so generously a fforded. It may be mentioned, as one amongst the benefits which this In stitution must confer upon the inhabitants of this kingdom, inland as well as upon the coast, that it must put au end to the practice of Imposters travelling the country, representing themselves as ship wrecked seamen, Inasmuch as the public, feeling assured that all true cases of distress Itom storms at sea will obtain prompt and efficient relief from this Charity,• by the means of its extensive .agencies (633 in number); may suspend affording alms to all such applicants, ana by contributing to this Institution (the annual subscription to which is only 2s.

The traffic which exists bertween Dublin and the south and south western districts of Ireland, fully justifies the construction of a main trunk line of railway from Dublin to Cashel, with a branch to Athy and Carlow. From this main trunk the country is most favourable for branches to Clonmel, Limerick, and Galway, and of being exten ded to Cork, as pointed out in the Report of Mr. Macneill. -The country to be traversed is singularly favourable for the con struction of a railway, and, with a slight variation, is the line recom mended by the Government Commissioners in their Report, present ing no difficulties or obstacles of any k ind, and requiring but little cutting or embanking, which enables the Engineer to pledge himself that the cost will not exceed 1,300,0001. for the entire work, including stations, carrying establishment, &c.. complete, being at the rate of 11,0001. per mile. From Mr. Macneill's great professional experience, and from the successful and economical manner in which he has just brought the Dublin and Drogheda Railway works to a completion within his es timate, the Committee has every confidence that the calculations tnr nished by him for the present work will be found sufficient. It is fortunate that the nature of the country through which the line is to be made is such, that, in the event of the atmospheric principle of transit being found from experience to be preferable to that of loco motive engines, it may be applied to this Railway without any in convenience or disadvantage, as no deeper cuttings or embankments would be required for the locomotive, than would be prudent or desir able for the atmospheric principle. The traffic is probably not exceeded on any line of equal extent in the United Kingdom at present unoccupied by a railway, and holds out very great inducements for the investment of capital. The re turns on which the calculation of traffic is founded, are taken from those published by the Railway Commissioners, and which, by a subsequent inquiry, are found to be considerably underrated.

At a General and Special General Meeting of the Share holders of the West London Railway Company, held at the Com pany's offices, 11, Abchurch-lane, in the City of London, on Wed nesday, the 6th day of March, 1844, it was unanimously resolved :- 1. That this General and Special General Meeting of the Share holders of the West London Railway Company, called and sum moned in pursuance of the provisions of the Company's Act of In corporation, do resolve that the Directors of the' aid Comaany shall proceed in the next session of Parliament to apply for an Act or Acts of Parliament, authorising the said West London Railway Company to extend the West London Railway from its present Terminus, at or near to the Kensington Canal-basin, to, at, or near to Knightsbridge, in the county of Middlesex, by such line and such direction and with such Terminus as the said Directors shall determine upon and think most expedient, and that the said Directors shall take all the neces sary steps for the purpose. 2. That the Directors shall in the meantime, until such Act or Acts of Parliament be obtained, make such purchases of land and other property, and enter into such contracts for works and other purposes, and cause such works, excavations, embankments, and other things to be carried on and completed, as they shall think proper for the purpose of making and completing such extension railway. 3. That a capital or sum of 129,2001. shall be raised for such ex tension, divided into 6,460 shares, of 20/. each, to be called " West London Railway Knightsbridge Extension Shares." 4. That the Directors be authorised, when they shall have ob tained Parliamentary power for the purpose, to issue such shares, and in the meantime to issue such certificates or scrip receipts in lieu thereof, as they shall think fit. 5. That the said sum of 20/. per share shall be paid as follows,viz. : a deposit of 21. per share at such time and place as the Directors shall appoint, and the remaining 18/. per share in calls of such amount and at such times as the Directors shall from time to time require. Each call, however, not to exceed 3/. per share, and to be payable at intervals of not less than three calendar months from each other, and not less than twenty-one days' notice of every such call to be given by advertisement in, at the least, two London newspapers. 6. That interest, after the rate of 5/. per cent. per annum, be paid on such deposits and calls from the respective times of the same being paid to the time of the said extension line being opened for public traffic, such interest to be payable on the sth July and the sth January in each year. 7, The preference dividends to be payable to the first-class pre ference and Thames extension Shareholders shall not be postponed or prejudicially affected, but shall continue to have the priority assured to them by the former resolutions of the Proprietary. 8. The Knightsbridge extension Shareholders shall, from the time of the completion of their extension line, have (subject to the pre ference given to the Shareholders referred to in clause 7) a preference rental dividend of 1/. per share, to be payable out of the profits of the whole line of railway belonging to the Company, as well original as extended, with priority over the second class pre ference and original shares of the Company; and that, subject to such dividends, and to:such preference as aforesaid, any surplus profit there may be in the current year shall be divided equally amongst all the Shareholders, whether holders of original, first or second class preference, or Thames or Knightsbridge extension shares, in propor tion to the number of their respective shares, the holder of each ex tension share being in the division of such surplus profit entitled to the same dividend as the holder of an original share. _ THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who are bound by their deed of constitution mot to dispute any policy, unless they can prove that it was obtained by fraudulent misrepresentation ; the great aim and object having been to render Life Policies COMPLETE SECURI TIES and NEGOTIABLE DOCUMENTS, which shall owe their value to the certainty of the contracts upon which they are founded, and be independent of the liberality or caprice of those who shall be in the management of the affairs of the Company when the claims arise ; and for this purpose the Corapany have, by a clause in their deed of constitution, unhesitatingly deprived themselves of the power of-objecting to any policy, unless they undertake to prove that it was obtained from them by fraudulent - misrepresentation. The regulations common to all other Life Companies, which make the validity of assurance contracts dependent upon the perfect correct ness of the many statements required from a proposer for a Life Policy, and which have given rise to almost all the questions which have been argued in the Courts, and to many extra-judicial com promises, are thus entirely abrogated; and nothing but fraud, proved to have been committed against them, can vitiate a policy granted by this CoMpany. THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY from 'horn the assured on the mutual. principle, receive the whole of the mutual accumulations, and also a guarantee from the Shareholders for the sums assured.. THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who bind themselves to pay the sums in the policies, although the debts for which they were effected shall have been liquidated before the claims arise. The Company considering it only just towards the assured that where premiums. have been paid for assuring a given amount, that amount should be paid; and they undertake to do so without reference to the state of the accounting between the assured and his debtor. THIS IS - ALMOST THE ONLY COMPANY who grant in favour of creditors whole world policies, whereby the debt is secured, although the debtor should go beyond the limits of Europe. The premiums calculated according to the Carlisle Tables, are lower than usual upon young lives, where participation in the profits is not required ; and for short assurances, which, at the option of the assured, may be continued for life, the rates are as low as a due re gard to cgmplete security will , permit.

London : Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans. Muhcliangah and others have submitted various proposals imade by Keying, which bear upon the subject of collectingduties. And the Privy Council, as well as the Board of Revenue, having taken them into consideration, and submitted them with their 'opinions thereon to the Emperor, they are approved of and con. firmed. Our correspondents at Chusan writes us, under date Nov. 24, !as follows :—There is not much business doing here at present, !and prices for all descriptions of goods are low, the market l having been latterly well supplied. The folloWing ships are in our harbour :—Elisa Stewart, Ellen Stewart, Ardasecr, Amason, I Ternate, Louisa, Zoe, Vixen, Snipe, Soundrapovy, Anna Maria, !Swallow. Frankland, Fortescue, and Poppy; also H. M. ships !Cambrian, Pelican, and Medusa steamer. The Wolf is stationed ''at Shanghai, and the Pelican is to be stationed at Ningpo, when 'the port is opened. The Plover and Young Hebe are surveying between this and the Yang-tze.Kiang river. The weather is still mild for the season of the year, with occasionally a showery day, but fires are still necessary. The natives, however, predict a severe winter. The troops and inhabitants generally are very healthy. We had races last month, which afforded a good deal of amuse ment for a few days, and which, with an occasional Performance by our amateur corps dromatique„ serves to break the monotony of our life and to give ussomething to talk about; till smothered by the all absorbing event of the arrival of a ship, and the probability of her having an English mail on board. • Along with this I send you a copy of Captain Balfour's•noti&. cation upon) the opening of the port of Shanghai on the 17th inst. The only ships which have as yet entered are the Island Queen, Litherland, Maseppa, Louisa Campbell, and the Valparaiso (America). The barque William the Fourth was seen entering , the river upon the 20th inst., direct from Manilla. Business is reported as likely to go on favourably, but little yet is known, as the port had only opened two or thrge days at the date of our last accounts from there. anu r t ili p, , 4 ,a 4 ,,,k r ,,,„--XT DISTRIBUTION OF MONEY `, 'eyIZ. 47 ..`ZDS AUTHORISED and GUARANTEED by HIS t ,,,T.

BY THE HALF PREMIUM PLAN only ono-half of the first seven years' premium is required, the other half being payable at at the convenience of the assured; thus allowing a Policy to be continted for seven years at one-half of the usual rate, or to be dropped at one-half of the usual sacrifice, and entitling the assured, seven years hence, when loss of health may prevent him from effecting a new Assurance, to continue a Policy at a rate of premium applicable to an age seven years younger. The Half-premium plan of Assurance, as practised by this Company, thus enables persons to retain to their own use the one-half of the premiums for tke first seven years, at 51. per cent. interest. Thus, suppose the or dinary premium for an assurance of 5001. to be 101., the first pay ment by the half-premium plan will be five guineas, being the oue half of the 101., and interest for the retained half;. and, if deatk should occur in the first year, the sum of 5001. would be paid less tke 51. retained. The assured - may thus have the use for the first year of 5/. ; for the second, of 10/. ; and so on till the end of the seventh year, when the retained sums, amounting to 351., may either be repaid, or retained at 51. i)er cent. interest until death, when the 351. 'would be subtracted from the 500/. then payable by the Company. MR. WALKER'S NEW WORK ON CHESS. Published this day, medium Bvo., 10s. 6d.

The following description of Gwalior, which we extract from the " Hand-book of India," will render the description of the attack more intelligible, and explain also the almost insuperable difficul. ties our troops had to surmount : " On the south of Agra, distant 74 miles, stands Gwalior, the seat of the ancient sovereignty of Sindia. The recent death of Maharaja, and the serious disruption which has resulted there from, has rendered it necessary for the Governor-General of India to march a large force to the frontier of the state; and while we pen these pages it is quite impossible to say whether the self-ap pointed Regent, who has seized the reins of power, has been con firmed in his authority, or whe.her the British Government has intervened, and placed the country on the footing of other states enjoying our protection. By the latest accounts all was anarchy and confusion. We must, therefore, in this place content our selves with a brief description of the town and fortress. The city is approached by a footpath over some trifling clay and sandstone heights, from which it is seen to advantage, lying under the wing of the giant stronghold, which rises in a complete precipice from its very bosom, and interspersed with trees and minarets, after the usual fashion of native cities. The suburbs are somewhat scanty, and there is no wall ;of defence to the town, which, however, by moans of strong portals connecting the parallel streets, and open. ing or closing the communication at the pleasure of the inhabi. tants, as well as by the aid of the external gates, is 'capable of making a brief defence against any irregular attack. These gate. ways are singularly elegant, although a jumble of modern and Hindoo architecture. They are built of sandstone. The gateway itself is an architrave of stone, supported upon ornamented co. lumns of the same. Above this rises the pointed Saracenic arch, and above that are elegant arabesque bas-reliefs, the roof of the structure being flat. "'The Jumraa Musjid is a handsome building, in the style of those at Lucknow. On turning the flank of the defences we come upon the grandest and most imposing exhibition of mili tary architecture ever beheld. We doubt if the world contains anything so magnificent as this long line of Gothic towers, scarped by an overhanging precipice ; poised in mid-air, dignified by the impress of the ages that have passed over their heads, yet unim. paired in strength and beauty, and presenting, not the blind aspect of mere holds of power, in which a garrison is pent up and excluded from the outer world, but that of the fittest possible residence for a mighty Sovereign, the object of all regards, raised above the world by his grandeur, and gazing down, from its unapproachable eminence, upon the kingdom submitted to his rule. It is impossible to imagine this noble mass of architecture designed for the vile purposes for which its isolated position afterwards rendered it convenient. But in exact proportion to our admiration of the structure is our indignation at the tyranny, the cruelty, the barbarous and murderous policy, for which no language has epithets sufficiently severe, of which Gwalior was the theatre, and continues the memorial; and as we gaze upon its lofty battle ments, and recal to memory the hundreds of unhappy captives con demned to waste away in perpetual imprisonment, or to escape this prolongation of misery only by the slow operation of a poison, that destroys by sapping all the fountains of life, and poisoning all the springs of enjoyment and breaking down the firmness of a heart that would have defied, in its health, the extremity of torture; thus reducing the noblest to the quality of the vilest, and making him, previous to his end, the scorn even of himself—when, we say, we reflect how many victims to royal jealousy have here rotted away into oblivion, there only crime that of having hung at the same breast with their murderer, or, perchance, of having a better claim than his to the throne, or of having excelled him in virtue, or being beloved by their fellow-men, we turn shuddering from the grandeur which had so greatly excited our admiration, and mourn that infamy should have been permitted so unsuitable a shrine. Had those towers been clad in some of the gloomy hor rors which their interior has witnessed, they would have been a beacon of terror to the world. To the thoughtful they yet hold out an humbling lesson of the vanity of outward appearance, and the madness of any ambition that has not virtue for its aim. It is not possible to give anything like an adequate idea of this surpassing fortress without the aid of the pencil and colours. The clifrupon which it stands is perfectly perpendicular, formed appa. rently, of sandstone, and it extends round the entire circuit of the fortified height. The defences, which, on the other sides, though adequate to their object, are dwindled into comparative insignifi cance by immediate contrast with the massive hill on which t hey stand, are here of the noblest dim ensions and the most graceful form, being a long series of circular towers, closely connected by curtains of nearly similar height, and roofed in with small domes of masonry ; the whole having, in addition to shot-holes, embra. sures, & c., an abundance of glazed windows, betokening the dwel ling of rational creatures; while the masonry itself is adorned with glazed tiles, which, whatever their effect when recent, retain at present only those tints which become a venerable fabric, and that fabric of the Gothic style. The entire circuit of these defences appeared tome about three miles; their form an oblong rectangle. The summit of the height, as is usual in the sand formation, is nearly flat. The height of the precipice is about 200 feet, and theheight from the foot of the precipice to the level of the town about 200 feet more, making a total height of about 400 feet. " In the steepest face of the cliff, at the north aspect and north east angle, are several caves, probably communicating by subter ranean galleries with the interior. One, in particular, contains a gigantic image of Pars Nath, distinctly visible from beneath. These caves may be convenient to the garrison during siege, but are extremely dangerous to the safety of the place, as a single 10. inch shell would, by exploding within the cavity, in all probe- NOTIFICATION. CITY OF SHANGHAI, Nov. 14, 1843.—1 hereby notify to all her Majesty's subjects that I have temporarily established the British consulate within the city of Shanghai, in a street situated close to ;tie wails, between the east and west gates. I solicit the co.operatiou of all partietCl4;eiding me to egudegt• the duties entrusted to my charge. In coninitinidisagp with the Intendant of circuit and superintendent of customs, the porfbf Shanghai Is de clared open for trade an the 17th inst., and from which date all the regulations relating thereto will be in force. For the present the limits of the port of Shanghai are declared to be within the lines formed by the point bearing west and the bat - " ' tery on the right bank at the mouth of the river below Woosung bearing south-west, _ _ The place of anchorage for loading and unloading within the port is as close over as possible to the left bank at the head of the river, adjacent to a creek named the Woosung Row, which, at about the distance of three-quarters of a mile below the walls of Shanghai, discharges its waters into the Shanghai river; and when the number of vessels may render it requisite, ships must anchor head and stern, leaving the navigation of the river clear, and the mouth of the Woosung Row well open. The tariff, general regulations, and various proclamations pro. I mulgated by his Excellency Sir Henry Pottinger, Bart., and G.C.E., ' her Majesty's Plenipotentiary for conducting the commercial inter. course with China, must be strictly adhered to by myself, as well as by those resorting to this port. The intendent of circuit and superintendent of customs has lestablished a Government banking establishment, or shroff shop, for the receipt of tonnage dues, and import and export duties, and 1 has fixed the office in the street leading from the little east gate lof the city to the bank of the river ; the firm being held by six partners, named Yaoo Hang Yuen, Choo Hoshing, Maou Hangho, Kwo Wanfung, Choo Huenjee, King Yuenke ; any one of whom is I empowered to grant receipts for moneys paid on account of the above purposes. Standard weights and measures are lodged in the office of the consulate, and as all duties will be fixed and levied 1 according to these standards, British merchants are recommended to provide themselves with sets, which can easily be obtained at I Shanghai, and the propriety of endeavouring to bring the same into I general use is submitted for consideration. i As the different trades and professions at this place have different ! weights and measures, and as done agree with the Government j standard fixed for the five ports, particular caution is essential in j all commercial transactions, to have the catty and covid, by which j the transaction is to be settled, well defined, and it will prevent difficulties and loss, to be cautious in reposing confidence until the j characters and conduct of parties are better known. j Arrangements are in progress for selecting a suitable site for I dwelling and store-houses, for settling by assay the per centage to Ibe paid on silver coins, and to raise the silver thereof to the standard of fineness fixed for the payment of the duties ; for estab lishing a place for the Custom-house, examinations of goods landed and shipped off, and for appointing pilots, and adopting other arrangements to facilitate the navigation in and out of the port. Due intimation will be given on the completion of the measures connected with any of the above named points, which must for the present be considered as still unsettled. ' Although it is desirable to adhere to the usual hours for the transaction of business, yet it will be clearly understood that, when necessary, the consulate will be open to all persons, at all hours, and any aid and information which can be afforded by the consular establishment will, as a matter of duty, be willingly given on appli cation either by writing or personal communication. (Signed) G. BALFOUR, I H. M.'s Consul, Shanghai. Lord and Lady Fitzroy Somerset received the '(s tressing intelligence by the overland mail that their eldest son, Captain Arthur Fitzroy Somerset, of the Grenadier Guards, Military Secretary to the Governor-GerAral, Lord Ellenborough, had been severely wounded in the battle of Maharaj poor. Many inquiries were made ..., , esterday and the day preceding at Lord Fitzroy's mansion, in Great Stan hope-street, and the answer was understood to be that Cap tain Somerset, at the date of the latent official dispatches was considered to be guing on as favourably as could be ex pected. THE WEATHER IN RHSSIA.-A St. Petersburgh correspondent writes on the 23d ult. :—" The winter has been very severe in this country, particularly in the South and Transcaucasia. As early as the middle of December, the snow in the town of Gori reached almost to the roofs of the houses, so that there could be no communi cation between them ; and at a little later period, all inter course between Geri, Tiflis, and other surrounding places, be came impossible. In the circle of Alexandropol, two men. and 350 sheep were frozen to death in the fields; three Cos sacks are missing, and many persons have their hands and feet frozen. In the mountains of Eriwan, the cold was at 20 degrees below zero of Reautnur, 43 below the same point of Fahrenheit, and cattle were killed by it in every part. Thirty drivers and all the beasts of burthen belonging to a caravan travelling from Tiflis to Nakbilewan were caught in a whirlwind, and are still buried under the snow. Eight have. been found and carried to Eriwan. Sixty camels, horses, and asses, have perished. Of five horsemen who set out for a neigh bouring village, two have been found frozen to death, but the others could not be discovered. In a barn of the village a. shepherd's boy and 300 sheep have been killed by the frost.. The quarantine houses at Redout-Kale and St. Nicholas have been destroyed by a hurricane; at Baktchiserai it produce all the effects of an earthquake ; at Odessa it raised the water to the skies like a water-spout ; at Kitchenew it unroofed. all the houses, and at Belzv tore off the iron roof of the Cathedral.. Here at St. Petersburgh the cold increases. On the 19th. 'it was~ at 23 4-10 Reaumur (21 of Fahrenheit) ;) on the 20t'a at 25 1-10 R. (244 F.), but on 21st it got up to 21 6-10 It. (17 F.). SACRED HARMONIC SOClETY.—Handers Oratorio of Saul was given on Wednesday night at Exete - t Han. It is strictly a dramatic work; and, abounding as does in re citatives, it is somewhat heavy, and nothing lr.it action could I relieve the long scenes of declamatiou. course, in last night's performance, there were maw . ; omiss , ,ons, some of them by no means judicious, such as th beautify) song of "Oh, god like youth," and the tenor so , :,g of "By Jordan's stream I swear." We missed, too, t;ne great oratorio school of Miss Hawes in David. There . 'is no singer who can approach this 1 vocalist in this style. Miss Dolby sang with ability, but many of the songs viere out of her natural register. Misa ilainforth and Mist, Cubitt sang with great purity of tone, and Phillips, in Tiartleman's celebrated song of " A serpent in my bosom," appeared out of his natural compass. The choruses were executed with general vigour and precision, particularly " Welcome David, mighty King . ." The sinfonia, in Part 2, whic 7 a, in fact, is an organ concerto, was omitted. 4 4;4 1enr Y R. Silvester, attorney, 19, Great Dover-street. on, Sur rey.
