The motto he has adopted will be SPLENDOUR, COMFORT, AND ONLY AN ADEQUATE RE3IUNERATION, observing that the grand Chef, with the first and best troop of artiste decuisine that could be found in England and France, are now en gaged to render that department of the Royal Hotel unique, and above any other public or private establishment; and the Wines have always hen panegy - rised as being recherche as money and good Judgment could achieve, besides a variety of small and large cheerful apartments, commanding beautiful views of Windsor Castle and the country round, suitable to accommodate all parties and companies ; there are three noble Coffee-rooms with :every comfort, where a cup of Wee, a mutton chop, or a moderate repast will be given of the very best quality, in the best style, and on terms note ppoecel to its neighbouring:contemporaries.

GEORGE ROBINS is instructed to. SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart, opposite the Bank, on TurrllhDAY, August 21, at Twelve, A most attractive FREEHOLD PROPERTY, comprising SIXTY-ONE ACRES of the best GRAZING LAND in THE COUNTY OF lIERKS ; it is known as THE LOWER NEWTON FARM, in the parish of Buckland, lying altogether, with comfortable Farm. house, large Barn, Stable, Cowhouse, Cattle-shed, &c. The Estate is adorned by thriving Timber, surrounded by the lands of Sir Robert Throckmorton, Bart., John Loder Symonds, Esq., and Wm.

The ELEGANT FREEHOLD VILLA of UNUSUAL PRETENSIONS, which ADORNS the HILL and the GROUNDS are PARALLEL with the ROAD and PASSING SCENE, ALTOGETHER 14 ACRES, ENCIR. CLING the ABODE. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is much gratified in being selected to OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY. the 21st of August, at Twelve, A FREEHOLD VILLA, which, it may be bafely affirmed, for its size, will not yield to any contemporaneous. It is, in fact, one of THE MOST DELIGHFUL BIJOUX THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE KINGDOM, and the great difficulty that presents itself to the composer is to do it Justice without encountering the idea of having too highly coloured the landscape. However this arduous task shall be under taken. BEIIKLEY LODGE IS HALF WAY ON THE DECLIVITY AT BOUGHTON HILL, and its splendid grounds run parallel to the passing scene of this interesting road. In days of yore Boughton Hill presented a fearful obstacle to enjoy, without alloy, all the accessories this lovely spot had in store. In our boyish days it was accounted an herculean task to reach the summit, but Mr. bliAdam, with his powerful mind and road.making powers, soon removed the imaginary difficulty, and that which previously was a fearful ob stacle to encounter, is now a gentle and almost unperceived ascent. Upon this hill now dwells THE INCOMPARABLE VILLA, the property of, and completed in his usual good taste by Henry Wool'right, Esq., of which a moderated account is to follow : THE GARDEN OF ENGLAND and the garden of Kent have been held as synonymous terms ; and it has long since been conceded to this spot, that throughout Kent, it stands unrivalled. It is first seen nestling amid the ambrosial grounds, with clumps of trees to vary the scene, stretch ing their wide and shadowy arms far across the green sward that encompasses it. The natural beauty of this position it will not be attempted to describe, because it is fearlessly asserted that it must be seen or it cannot be appreciated; the beauties that press on the enraptured sight, strewed by the hands of Art and Nature, combined over this surface, will hold a place in the memory which never can be effaced, and ere the visit is half completed, with common assent it will be responded to by all, THAT FAIRY LAND is in view. Of the residence little has yet been said (although an outlay of 6,0001. has just been expended on its completion), and it may be well to observe that, without being encumbered with the nuisance of too large a domicile, there is all and everything that a family (not too large) can desire. It has been erected within the last seven years, and v hatever can be understood by the comprehensive term " comfort" will be found to hold a prominent place here ; but WITHIN THIS LITTLE ELYSIUM, is placed a GAZEEBO of NOVEL FORM, and so ingeniously contrived that the beauteous scenery by which it is so entirely surrounded is seen with immensely increased effect. It is really quite impossible to do justice to the tact that has pre sided over this great feature of the abode. Its form Is duodecagon, there are five windows, each diversifying the scene. The ingenuity that has conceived this happy effort to give ad. ditional abet to the magnificent scene is unquestionable. IP EXHIBITS A PANORAMIC VIEW, THAT YIELDS TO NOTHING THROUGHOUT ENGLAND, softened by the intermixture of features the most romantic and picturesque-- " Till breathless, as we grow when feeling mos ; And silent, we stand in thoughts too deep For utterance," it produces an ensemble such as the writer of this imperfect sketch has never before enjoyed. To give an adequate representation is quite out of the question—its beauty and its loveliness altogether forbid it, but it may be permitted to observe that THE RIVER MEDWAY AND THE SORE, which is in the distance, is, at high water, on visiting terns with Berkeley Lodge. AN ENGLISH FLEET OF 100 VESSELS has not unfrcquently aided this splendid picture. To return for a moment to the demesne—the grounds are very extensive and luxuriant beyond imagination. There is not a landscape gardener that will not be proud to take a lesson here, and the Proprietor has added so much of ingenuity, and of variety, that the wens never tires—at every turn something new and beautiful is pre sented. In the centre is " AN OBSERVATORY 50 FEET IN HEIGHT," WHICH STANDS 350 FEET HIGHER THAN CANTERBURY. From this spot Dover and Gravesend are both brousht within view, and the coast of France seen without difficulty. THE TERRACE WALK, THAT RUNS PARALLEL WITH THE LONDON-ROAD, is adorned by American shrubs and flowering plants without number; and to perfect this scene there are rising in majestic grandeur in the rear THE SPLENDID WOODS OF BLEAN (of which this property includes four acres), to protect the villa from the wintry winds—the Kitchen Gardens are well planned, and the supply of fruit and vegetables most abundant. Dispersedly placed, and in excellent taste, are to be seen about the grounds everything that ingenuity and art combined could effect. In one spot is a grotto. Contiguous to it THE ORNAMENTAL WATERS, WITH THREE VESSELS IN FULL SAIL, of solid copper, and wire rigging, and a jet d'eau which Mr. Robins will not dishonour by a comparison with the "NONENTITIES AT TRAFALGAR-SQUARE." On another spot is a second grotto, which, by means of no ordi. nary Ingenuity, represents a perpetual telegraph and windmill, which never cease their pleasing vocation.. It has consumed 700 THE EDDYSTONE LIGHT HOUSE a dorns thecentre of the water s, in w h i ch exist myriads of gold and silver fish. be short, neither words nor painting can do it a d equate feet of iron justice: we know of nothin g com p ara ble with the scene, so as to give it that vivid co lourin g by which those who have not h a d pipe to accomplish this. ocular demonstration, may recognise its wild phenomena. And now the composer feels that he must compassionate with his readers, and arrive at a conclusion. THE DEMESNE AROUND IT IS 14 ACRES, including the rich paddocks. The offices within and without are corresponding, and the whole in complete apple-pie order. It is four miles from Canterbury ; and the society everywhere is pro. verbial for its being prone to good fellowship, with lots of shooting, hunting, and fishing without much trouble.

The Provisional Directors of the Essex and Suffolk Railway have the pleasure of communicating to the Shareholders that the Parlia mentary Committee have rejected the Preambles of all the Bills whichcould be considered as coming into competition with the Essex and Suffolk project, and have given an opinion strongly favourable to the views of this Company. The Provisional Directors wishing to avoid the annoyances, delays, and expenses of a vexations Parliamentary contest, and hoping that the common Interests of the localities through wit ch this projected railway would pass, might be conciliated and advanced by a friendly understanding with the Provisional Committee of the Bury and Chelmsford Railway, were most desirous of bringing about an amal gamation with the promoters of that line, and eagerly availed them selves of the opportunity that was afforded them of amicable discus sion, for the purpose of uniting the objects of the two Companies on mutually satisfactory - terms. Five Members of the Provisional Direction of the Essex and Suf folk Company, namely:—Dr. Bowring, M.P., Messrs. Allen, Fitz william, Sykes, and Tatham were nominated on behalf of this Com pany. Mr. Halifax (Chairman), Sir Hyde Parker, Bart., and Mr. Courtold, were appointed by the Bury and Chelmsford Committee, to confer with the Essex and Suffolk Deputation on the question of amalgamation. They met the Deputation from the Essex and Suffolk, and the principle and general basis of such amalgamation were agreed on. The respective Deputations referred the matter back to their several Committees, and both Committees concurred in sanctioniN, the general understanding. The Chelmsford and Bury Committee then added Sir John Tyrrel, Bart., and Mr. Greenwood to the former Deputation, and the five were appointed to settle the de tails necessary to give effect to the general arrangement. Resolu tions were passed unanimously, as regarded the Deputation from the Essex and Suffolk Company, and by a majority of the Deputation from the Bury and Chelmsford; making, in the united Committee, a majority of eight to two in favour of the amalgamation, and of the resolutions dependent thereon. In the progress of these discussions, and greatly to the surprise of the Essex and Suffolk Deputation, a resolution was communicated to them (not signed by the Chairman of the Bury and Chelmsford Com pany), stating that the Deputation appointed to conduct the ne gotiation with the Essex and Suffolk Deputation, were "discharged, and 12 resolutions, many of which were wholly incompatible with the arrangement agreed upon, were sent by " the Provisional Com mittee of the Chelmsford and Bury Railway," to the Provisional Directors of the Essex and Suffolk. On these resolutions the Essex and Suffolk Directors desire to make no further observation than this, that as men of honour, the Chairman of the Bury and Chelmsford (Mr. Hallifitx), Sir John Tyrell, Bart., 31. P., and Sir Hyde Parker, Bart., and several others, felt it their duty to withdraw, and they have withdrawn themselves, from the Bery and Chelmsford direction. These gentlemen continue in friendly co-operation with the:Essex and Suffolk direction, while, in additi , n to the loss of their valuable services, the Bury awd Chelmsford Committee are deprived of their distinguished engineer, Mr. Robert Stephenson, and it is understood Messrs. Wkite and Borrett have retired from the joint solicitorship of that line. To the equitable and honourable spirit in which the negotiations were conducted by the retiring majority of the Chelmsford and Bury deputation, the Essex and Suffolk desire to bear unequivocal testi mony, while on the part of their own deputation, they wish to state, that with every disposition to meet the Bury and Chelmsford Direc tors in the most conciliatory spirit, there existed among themselves, a cordial unanimity of purpose, and they can only express their regret, that a small minority should have thwarted the friendly and judicieus intentions of a large majority. The objects of the Essex and Suffolk Provisional Directors having been thus disappointed, by a repudiation of the acts of a majority of the Bury and Chelmsford deputation, a certain number of Shares re main to be disposed of, which it was intended to place in the hands of the united Committee., These Shares are now offered to the public, but a preference will be given to the original subserib,rs to the Essex and Suffolk line. Shareholders in the Norwich and Brandon and Eastern Counties are requested to mention the fact in their application. There can he no doubt that a railway providing for the important districts between Chelmsford and Thetford, will obtain the sanction of Parliament, in the coming session ; and the Provisional Directors cannot but anticipate the favourable decision of the Legislature. Negotiations are in progress with the Norwich and Brandon and Eastern Counties Railway Companies, and there is every reason to hope, that arrangements will be entered into, satisfactory to the Shareholders, and accommodating the populous localities through which this line is intended to pass. Careful surveys are making of . . the whole line, and the confidence of the Provisional Directors of success of the undertaking is unabated. Applications for Shares may be made to the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company, 24, Moorgate-street ; or to the Solicitors and Local Agents; and to Messrs. Hichens and Harrison, IR, Threadneedle street, London • J. Jameson, Leeds ; J. Greaves, Liverpool ; and Messrs.

This railway is proposed to commence at Cambridge, to proceed in a direct liue to Northampton, and take its course, vii Fenny Compton, Stratford-upon-Avon, and Alcester to Worcester. By its junction with the Northern and Eastern Railway at Cam bridge, the London and York Railway near St. Neots, the Leices ter and Bedford or South Midland and Birmingham Railways, near Northampton, the Oxford and Rugby and the proposed Oxford and Birmingham, or Warwickshire and London Railways, at Fenny Compton, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway at Stratford-upon- Avon, and the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton near Wor cester, and the proposed lines into Wales from that city, this raii way will connect Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, and the impor tant towns of Yarmouth, Harwich, Norwich, Ipswich, Bury St. Ed mund's, Lynn, and Cambridge, with the towns and counties of Bed ford, Northampton, Rugby, Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, Banbury, Oxford, Southampton, Coventry, Leamington, Warwick, Birming ham, Worcester, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Tewkesbury, Kiddermin ster, Wolverhampton, Liverpool, Manchester, Bristol, Hereford, Somerset, South Wales, and the South of Ireland. In short this railway will complete the chain of communication from the cast to all parts of England. It will also be the most direct route from London to Warwick, Leamington, Worcester, Hereford, Kiddermin ster, Stourbridge, Bromsgrove, Droitwich, and Wales. Connecting a very populous district entirely destitute of railway accommodation, opening, too, a direct communication between extensive manufactur ing, mineral, and agricultural districts, and the best and largest coal Yields in the kingdom, thereby considerably reducing the present high price of coals, particularly in the eastern counties This line must not only be of great public and local advantage, but also insure traffic and passengers, and goods amply remunerative as an investment. The survey made proves the line to be easy of construction, and free from engineering difficulties. The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at 4/. per cent. per annum on the deposits, as well as on all future calls, II•om the date of the passing of the Act till the opening of the railway.

T HE COVENTRY AND L E (GESTE It JUNC TION RAILWAY. _ The Provisional Directors have great satisfaction: in announcing to the Sharehulders that they have concluded an arrangement with the Coventry, Bedworth, and Nuneaton Company, for incorporating that company with the Coventry and Leicester Company, by which thy united company will obtain all the valuable local and general support and influence secured by each separately, with the increased advantages.of a more extensive project. The united company will becalled " The Coventry, Nuneaton, Birmingham, and Leicester Railway Company." The line will commence at Coventry, and proceed by Bedworth and Chilvers Coton to Nuneaton, thence to Hinckley and Leicester, with a branch from Nuneaton to Birmingham. Care will be taken to provide the most complete accommodation for all the intermediate places. The superior advantages of the projected line are already exten sively known, as was shown by the great demand for the original shares of this Company, and has been further proved by the circum stance that a rival scheme, with nearly the same project, has been since started. This Company, however, is in possession of such exclusive advan tages, by the local support of influential landowners and other parties, added to priority of project and a favourable report of the Board of Trade for a very important portion of the line (being the only part Which has yet been submitted to that department), that it is obvious that this Company will go to Parliament with every prospact of success. In order to comprise the two schemes In one Act, and to invest the Provisional Directors with the requisite powers, they have de termined, under the advice of counsel, to have a new Parliamentary contract and Ssubscriber's agreement executed, and to issue new scrip of the Coventry, Nuneaton, Birmingham, and Leicester Com ph y," in exchange for the scrip of the Coventry- and Leicester Junction Railway Company, the Coleshill Extension, and the Coventry, Bedworth, and Nuneaton Company. By the terms of the arrangement with the Coventry, Bedworth, and Nuneaton Company, the Shareholders in that Company will receive one share in the Coventry, Nuneaton, Birmingham, and Leicester Company, in ex change for each share held by them in the Coventry, Bedworth, and Nuneaton Company, on payment of a deposit of 11. ss. per share, and signing the Parliamentary contract and Suescribers' agreement.

This line is the natural result of opening out, by an important main trunk like the South Wales Railway, a country rich in minerals, with a large and rapidly increasing population, both of which have hitherto been but imperfectly supplied with the means of transit. The numerous mines, collieries, iron, copper, tin plate, fire brick, chemical, and other works, already in operation and in course of being opened, in the interior of South Wales, especially in the country through which this line will pass, and which are now being exten sively multiplied there, seek a more speedy and ready access to the main line than existing modes supply, and hence the necessity for affording to the important valley between Neath and Merthyr Tydvil the most perfect means of communication, not only with the South Wales Railway, but with the ports of Neath and Swansea, the natural and legitimate outlets for the produce of the valley ; whence the supply of flour and other provisions from Ireland can be cheaply and expeditiously conveyed into the heart of the country. The proposed line will commence at Neath by a junction with the South Wales Railway, will continue up the Valley to near Pont Walby, thence to .Merthyr Tydvil, passing within a short distance of the extensive iron works lying in that district. The advantage of the natural fall of country, being from Merthyr to Neath, calls forth a strong opinion in the following extract from the report of the Board of Trade on Railways in South Wales : "By the proposed line (the South Wales) the principal towns and commercial emporiums, which are situated along the coast at the bottom of the valleys, are placed upon the main line, to which the traffic from the interior will descend—a consideration which is very important when we recollect that a great part of this traffic will consist of heavy minerals." The Vale of Neath intersects the great coal and iron fields of South Wales, and possesses anthracite, as well as bituminous coal, in great abundance. In addition to the collieries and iron works, there are also tin works adjoining the . proposed line, and valuable timber, to the extent of 4,000 acres. _ . _ It is unnecessary to give a detailed estimate of the probable re venue that will arise from the Vale of Neath Railway; it is sufficient to say, that, in the districts between and through which it will pass, the population numbers above 80,000, depending chiefly on the sup plies now transmitted to the interior through Swansea and Neath ; that the intercourse between the above towns is such as to bear out a most favourable estimate of passenger traffic; and that 200,000 tons of coal, exclusive of other minerals, are exported annually from the Vale of Neath, finding a ready market in France, Ireland, Somerset shire, Devonshire, Cornwall, London, and other places. From these mere outlines it ',evident that the increased facility of transit which this Railway will afford over the present modes of conveyance, con nected as it will be with Swansea and Briton Ferry (the port of Neath) by means of the South Wales Railway, will produce a cor responding increase of Production and traffic. Under the latter head, as regards passengers, may be taken into consideration the large numbers that resort to Swansea from the interior for sea bathing, and the 'Ark:ugly picturesque and richly varied beauty of the Vale of Neath, with its famed waterfalls, will be a source of never-failing attraction to tourists and parties of pleasure. The most favourable opinion is entertained of the Vale of Neath Railway by almost all the landed proprietors along the line, the majority of whom are members of the Provisional Committee, the lessees of collieries, and parties engaged in shipping; and its im portance as a profitable investment may be judged from the fact that the Neath Canal, which now traverses only half the distance of the proposed line, and affords, even to that limited extent, but imperfect accommodation, has for many years paid a large dividend to the proprietary, and the original 100/. shares are now marketable at 3401. Prospectuses may be had, and applications for shares may be ad dressed, in the fora; annexed, to the Secretary, at the offices of the Company, 440, West Strand, London, and to the Solicitors in Lon don, or N( sit In the allotment of the shares of the Company, ix preference will be given to parties locally interested, and to the Proprietors of Shares in the South Wales Railway Company. The usual power will be taken by the Act, to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum on the amount of subscriptions paid up ; and no subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his de posit of 11. 10s. per share, until the Act is obtained, and then not be yond the amount of his subscription.

In renewing the application to Parliament for a North Kent Line, it has been determined to bring forward the entire of the scheme ori ginally contemplated. The undertaking now proposed is for the for mation of a direct Line of Railway from London to Dovor, commenc ing near the Waterloo and Ilungerford Bridges, and proceeding by Rlackhcath, Woolwich, Gravesend, Rochester, Chatham, Sitting bonnie, and Canterbury, terminating at Dovor, and by a branch also at Deal, with other branches to Maidstone, Sheerness, Faversham Quays, and Chilham, and also uniting, by its communications at Can terbury, with the Line already authorised to Ramsgate and Margate. Dover will thus be brought within the shortest practicable Railway distance from the metropolis, and all the above-named intermediate Towns and Districts will obtain those Railway facilities of communi cation with the metropolis and with each other which they are at pre sent so mach in want of; and valuable and most important connexions will also be completed between the great arsenals and depots of the , country. The importance of this Line to the principal places having, at present, some circuitous and incomplete Railway communication, will be manifest, by the following table of comparative distances from the metropolis at Hungerford-bridge, viz.:— By the cxistb'g By the proposed Routes. North Kent Line. Miles. Miles. Dover • • • - • • .. 90 .. .. 72 Deal .. Ramsgate • • .. 99 73 Margate • • • • Ib3 77 Canterbury., .. 83 • • • • 57 Maidstone • • • • 58 41 The recent Parliamentary investigation into the schemes for this district has tended to establish that the North Kent traffic is such as to insure more than the usual rate of profit to the Company who may be fortunate enough to succeed in obtaining power to undertake the Line through that, as yet, unoccupied district ; and that among the projects submitted to Parliament, the line of the London, Chatham, sad North Kent Company was the best, as it was the first in the field. It was also manifest that the reasons assigned by the Railway Board preferring the scheme of the South Eastern Company not only were without weight with the Parliamentary Committee, but were in all important respects entirely unsustained in proof. The Provisional Committee of Management have obtained a valu able advantage in their present scheme by securing the co-operation of Mr. Locke, acting in consultation with Mr. Vignol s, their en gineer, in fixing the capital of the Company, and settling the line and the engineering features. The project, of which the outline is now put forth, will, of course, be subject to such modifications as may hereafter be deemed desirable. For the purpose of carrying out this complete and comprehensive scheme, it is proposed to raise a capital of 3,300,0001., to he divided into 66,000 shares of 501. each, and that these shares shall be allotted on a present deposit of 21. 10s. per share. It is proposed that the owners of Scrip Certificates in the original scheme are to have the option of receiving an equal number of shares in the new project, upon surrendering their present Scrip, and upon payment of 10s. 6d. per share, which, with the amount remaining to be returned on the original Scrip, will make up the required deposit of 21. 10s. per share; and they are thereupon to be entitled to a preference in the allot ment of the remaining shares to the extent of three new shares for every two original shares so exchanged. In default of payment of the deposits at the time to be appointed, or of the subsequent in stalments to be called for after the Act shall have been obtained, the shares will be forfeited. All persons desirous of availing themselves of this option and pre ference, are required to give notice thereof by letter addressed to the Provisional Committee, on or before the Bth of August next, and stating their proper names, residences, and descriptions, according to the subjoined forms, Nos. 1 and 2, and are to deliver in their existing Scrip Certificates for examination when required, or in default they will forfeit the privilege of such option and preference. Any Scripholder in the original scheme desirous of retiring, will be entitled, on surrendering his Scrip, to have the deposit thereon re turned to him, less 15s. 6d. per Share as the proportion of the ex penses incurred since the 29th of January last. Applications for Shares by other parties must be addressed to the Committee of Management according to the subjoined Form No. 3. Prospectuses and Forms of Letters of Application may he had at the Company's Office, at 112, Bishopsgate-strcet, where all commu cations are to be addressed. 112, Bishopsgate-street, London, July 25, 1845.

It approximates upon Mr. Adair's Park and Demesne, and the neighbourhood for miles around is aristocratic and respectable. Historical record traces the erection of this fine property from the year 1530. It has always been the subject of unvarying admiration, arising out of its form being strictly too. delled in TIIE TASTE AND STYLE OF OUR QUEEN ELIZABETH. Untoward circumstances have intervened to prevent its outward and visible form fully retaining a character suited to its ancient style of architecture. This difficulty is now being remedied at a railway pace by a considerable outlay which is in progress, with the intention to have it RESTORED TO ALL ITS PRISTINE VIGOUR. Indeed the intention is, that it is to rank, and within one month, amongst the most favoured habitations throughout the County of Suffl,lk.

The kitchen gardens arc extensive and loaded with fruit, but the wiseacre who unluickily presided over them the last two years hes preferred six quarters of splendid wheat per acre, to the natural claim it has to vegetate everything required for a gentleman's table ; this, however, will be instantly set right. The park is beautifully timbered and the soil unsurpassable ; it grows near three loads of fine hay and clover per acre. The Mansion is seen nestling under the fostering wings of the ancient church, which is a very close ally, with pews for the family mid domestics.

A complete remedy for all this is to be found by visiting the esta blishment of Ross and Sons, and choosing head-dresses that sur pass nature herself, fronts, bands, or rit , glets that assist her, or splendid plaits that, encircling the thin hair, give it all the appearance of a luxuriant growth. The partings are so admirably contrived that the nearest inspection is confounded ; the transparency of the web, admitting the skin of the head to be seen through, they may be described as being as light as a feather. —Address Ross and Sons, 119 and 120, 13ishopsgate street, London, who have lately invented the Depinquitory for cleansing the skin, parting of fronts, &c. ~~ ( ~u~ ~~~~ Price. 130 tt 44 0 230 3r,0 Y • )
