Saturday, the 2011 of July, 1850, will be parti cularised as a date especially worthy of his celebra tion by the future biographer of Lord PALMERSTON. For then it was that the popularity of that illustrious Minister of the Crown may be truly said to have reached its period of culmination. A more signal evidence that its political sentiments are consonant with those of the English multitude, could not have been afforded by the members of the Reform Club, than the circumstance of their having invited her MAJEsTit's principal Foreign Secretary to a grand banquet, on Saturday evening, fur the purpose of expressing their admiration for his policy, and their - respect fur his public and private character. The detailed report, given elsewhere, of the speeches deli- vered upon this interesting occasion will be perused no doulst with avidity by thousands of our intelligent population ; and the hearts of those thousands will respond eagerly to the opinions therein articulated, opinions crowning the career of a great statesman with popular approval and panegyric. It was by no infelicitous selection, moreover, that the Hon. and Gallant Gentleman the representative of the county of Middlesex presided as chairman over this assm blage ; for among all the Members of the British House of Commons he has long, by his votes, by his speeches, anti by his whole bearing in the Legislature, diitinguished himself peculiarly for his political in dependence. So conspicuous, indeed, has been the isolation of Mr. RALPH BERNAL OSBORNE from all party feeling whatever, both within and without the walls of the Parliament, so thoroughly careless has he been of propitiating the favour of the Government or of arousing the antagonistic passions of the Opposi tion, that he very appropriately excused himself for any inadequacy that might he evinced by him in proposipg the toast of the evening on Saturday, by reminding his auditors that he had been more ac customed to pass strictures on the collective acts of the Cabinet than to pay compli ments to any individual Minister. What is here mentioned as characteristic of the Chairman may he emphatically predicated also of the influential body of politicians there assembled together to do honour t o Vi scoun t P ALMERSTON . A s m i g ht b e seen from the list o f names accompan yi ng th e beautiful testimonial recently presented to his Viscountess, as might be 'recognized also from the catalogue of his supporters who cordially yielded their votes the other morning to the motion of Mr. Roanucx, the large majority of the Parliamentary sympathisers with the TrIE SUN, Foreign Secretary were ranked amongst the really in dependent representatives of the people of England. At a moment when his fortunes as an administrator, and his fair fame as a statesman, were threatened by a malignant conspiracy of intriguers, Lord PALMERS TON had the gratification of finding his policy sus tained, and his reputation vindicated not by place hunters or partizans, but by men thoroughly indif ferent to the smiles of those in office. Such was the pervading characteristic of his most earnest panegy rists in the Legislature. Such likewise was the prominent characteristic of those who, on Saturday evening, celebrated by their presence in the Reform Club the late triumphant discomfiture of his anta- gonists. Of ail political movements those of intrigue are the most abhorrent to the feelings of the English population. Duplicity in Parliamentary tactics, complicity on the part of sworn foes for the purpose of securing their own mutual aggrandisement, drawing room plots, and backstair interviews in re ference to the conduct of a Legislature, find no accord whatever in the mind of our insular multitude. They regard with emotions only of unmitigated dis gust and indignation the covert schemes of those wilier aspirants for power who endeavour by nefarious tricks and mendacious treacheries to oust from his Ministerial position a dauntless and patriotic states man like Viscount PALMERSTON. That such efforts as these should have been attempted in this country " by politicians with characters and without characters, by ministers in place and out of place, by kings with crowns and without crowns" (to employ the felicitous description of them given in the House of Commons by the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Middlesex), is, of course, a matter of profound regret, viewing it simply in reference to the question of political mo rality. Nevertheless, we cannot but acknowledge to a certain coincidence of sentiment with Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE, when he almost exulted in the circumstance of this conspiracy, beholding the decisive and triumphant manner of its discomfiture. Another reason for sa tisfaction, moreover, was indicated by the Gallant Cluireaan, when he exclaimed, "But I also rejoice that the Noble Lord has been exposed to personal attack and vituperation, because it has given to the world and to future ages that great intellectual effort, that enunciation of great truths, that lucid array of facts, and, above all, that calm and Christianlike for bearance from recrimination, which will be handed down to after ages as a monument of eloquence, to be studied by the philosopher, and taken as a model by the statesman." No wonder that impassioned tribute of eulogium upon the masterly speech in which Lord PALMERSTON vindicated his foreign policy from the charges of its assailants was received with a rapture of applause befitting those who had to express in some faint manner at least the ardour of the popular enthusiasm. No wonder that the ap plause was yet heightened in intensity when the Chairman, by one of those master strokes of pane gyric which in periods of strong emotion sometimes seem to give voice, as it were, to the throbbings of the national heart, repeated those noble lines from Sir BuLwiat LYTTON'S Ring Arthur, where " one of the greatest and most varied of modern writers describes the greatest and most accomplished of modern states men" : " Warmed with the instincts of a knightly heart, That roused at or:ea, if insult touched the rehlm, He spurned each state craft—each deceiving art, Arid met his foes, no visor to his helm. This proved his worth ! Hereafter be our boast, Who hated Britain, hated him the most." Among those whose oratorical participation in the banquet of Saturday evening more peculiarly ac corded with the feelings in which the entire de monstration had originated, we must particularly refer to Lord CA3IOYS, who remarked, when returning thanks for the House of Lords, that whereas it had been said on previous occasions, " Thank GOD, we have a House of Lords !" the more appropriate exclamation on this occasion would be, " Thank GOD, we have a House of Commons !" In a kindred spirit of earnestness, the speech wherein Lord DUDLEY STUART proposed " The People—the only source of Legitimate Power," was entitled to the cheers which it elicited, abounding as it did with tokens that the patrician blood of England is not alien to that of the toiling multitudes, scattered though they might be over the remotest regions of the globe—the Noble Orator asserting that the recent triumph of the noble subject of his commendations "had gladdened with consolation and hope every patriot, in whatever country, who had struggled or who sighed for liberty." In reference to the scornful comment pronounced by the Solicitor- General upon those renegades from liberality, who had pitifully connived at the conspiracy of the ene mies of freedom by opposing the Honourable and Learned Gentleman the Member for Sheffield, we might be inclined to expatiate at some length, taking into account the heinous conduct of such turpitude and tergiversation. As it is, how ever, we can content ourselves with echoing the allusion of Mr. COCIEBIMN^ "Among the faithful, faithless only they ! '"— satisfied in so doing, because as participators in the re cent victory we can " afford to be generous," and because also the completeness of the triumph accorded to Lord PALMERSTON admits of no room for acerbity or recrimination. Besides, we have no leisure to de signate the insignificance of mere political intriguers —our attention being more worthily engrossed by the contemplation o► a great statesman and an il lustrious administrator. Equally felicitous with the remarks already quoted from the speeches of Mr. O.3BORNE on Saturday was the incidental encomium previously passed upon the illustrious guest of the evening by the Chairman, when, in proposing the toast of the Army and Navy, he observed that its 01 jectf, the maritime and military officers present, had some right to complain of and find fault with the Noble Lord on his right, as it was through his policy that the army and navy had not found that employment which they anticipated ! Nor was that beau tiful compliment which Mr. OSBORNE paid to his Royal Highness the Prince ALBERT less eloquently emphatic, when, in coupling his name with that of the heir to the Crown and the other members of the Royal Family, he observed, " I shall content myself with saying, and I am sure I express the feelings of this meeting, that we hope the Prince of WALL'S will imitate the private virtues and the public worth of his Sire !" Indeed throughout the whole of the festal proceedings of Saturday even- ing, Mr. BEaNAL OSBORNE evinced, in his ca pacity as chairman, qualities as felicitous of their kind, as he had already long displayed in his character as a popular representative. In allusion to the gallantry of his political conduct upon all occasions, we might say of hint too that " He meets his foes, no vizor to his helm ;" and, appreciating to the full the vigorous consistency of his independence, we are satisfied that the men of Middlesex have reason to be proud of him, just as the men of all England have reason to be proud of the illustrious subject of his eulogiums. Of that great statesman the people of these Wanda not only have reason to be proud, but are proud— they are proud of his courage never quailing for an instant before the intimidating intrigues of Despotism, of his genius ever vigilant in presiding over the in tricate mechanism of diplomacy, of his patriotism ever alive to the minutest particular affecting the honour, the interests, or the. dignity of Great Britain. They behold in the long and glorious record of his Ministerial achievements cause for felicitating the empire upon the possession of a statesman so bold and yet circumspect—one who, while adorning with his name the list of our Parliamentary orators, is still ever keeping a watchful eye upon our relations with all foreign countries, and who, while maintaining lith a strong hand the grandeur of the name of England, has yet acquired for himself ae glory of being one of the noblest and truest conser vators of the tranquillity of Christendom. While England was lamenting the premature death of her greatest statesman, America was mourn ing the sudden loss of her most popular PRESIDENT. Exactly one week after the death of Sir ROBERT PEEL occurred the death of General ZACHARY TAYLOR, the President of the United States of America. As opposed to each other in position, in disposition, in manner, in education, almost, it might be said, in thought and in feeling, as it is well, pos sible to suppose any two men to be, yet each occupied virtually a nearly similar position in their respec tive countries, and the premature death of each will necessarily occasion important political changes, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING-, JULY 22, 1850. the effects of which on England, on Arn s erica, and on the who7e civilized- world, it is impossible to calcu late. At first sight it would seem to be a mere hunting after the parlaloxical to - attempt to discover any similarity between Sir ROBERT PEEL and General ZACHARY TAYLOR. The American PRESI DENT, "old rough and ready," was a blunt, straight forward soldier, born and bred in camps, ignorant of and despising the scholarly lore, the love of art, the persuasive elcquence, the diplomatic tact, the menagemens, the suavitur in inodo, in which Sir ROBERT PEEL delighted ; and while Sir ROBERT PEEL was a mere individual Member of Parliament, holding no office whatever under Govern ment, General ZACHARY TAYLOR was the chief of the Executive of the mightiest republic that the world has ever seen. In what, then, consisted the simi larity between them—it consisted in this, that while their respective countries were divided into parties at fierce enmity with each other, they were by the con fidence reposed in them by their respective fellow countrymen enabled respectively to act the part of mo derators and to prevent those collisions which, now that they are removed, seem sooner or later inevitable. The slave question at present divides the United States, and threatens at no distant day to break up the union, unless both slave-holders and abolitionists moderate respectively their exaggerated pretensions. General ZACHARY TAYLOR was the man to have brought about a compromise on the question, if any man could have brought it about. Bred in the Southern States, he had a practical knowledge of slavery and its social dangers and difficulties, and could therefore make allowances for the fears, not altogether unfounded, of the slave-holders ; ardently attached to liberty, he was, in theory, heart and soul an abolitionist ; known and respected as a straightforward, honest man, without guile, and possessed of the prestige which is attached to every successful military comman der, General ZACHARY TAYLOR could and would have settled this difficult and dangerous question; he dies, and there is not to be found throughout the length and breadth of America any individul capable of occupying exactly his position. The loss of General TAYLOR is as irreparable for America as is that of Sir ROBERT PEEL for England. His successor, Mr. FILLMORE 13 a clever man, a statesman, and a man disposed to peace, but he is a thorough partisan—he is, in fact, the nominee of Mr. CLAY, and will, as far as in him lies, carry out the whole of Mr. CLAY'S views. Mr. CLAY'S compromise Bill on the slave question, which has met with such almost universal disapproval, will no doubt be adopted by Mr. FILLMORE as a Cabinet measure. Mr. FILL3IORE is, or rather was, an ultra-Protec tionist ; he drew - up the ultra-Protection tariff of 1842, which was called familiarly " Fillmore's Bill." The experiment cf free trade has been now tried in America for four years, and suc ceeded beyond the expectations and hopes of even its most sanguine supporters ; we think, therefore, that whatever may be Mr. FILLMORE'S opinion on the subject of protection, the Congress and the Senate will not permit the repeal of the Revenue Bill of 1846. Mr. FmnsionE, moreover, is, it is said, a shrewd and clever man, and has, therefore, probably altered his opinions on this subject. 'We cannot forget, that in our own country the same man, who as FREDERIC% JOHN RonstisoN, proposed in the House of Cemmons, the enactment of the Corn-laws, carried, as the Earl of RIPON, in the House of Peers, the 13111 for their total repeal. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were esti mated at from 8,000 to 10,000 bales, of which about one-half were taken on speculation. The market closed firmly at full prices.—Railway Shares were heavy. The wheat trade was dull in Mark-lane this morning, and prices declined Is. per quarter, At the Union Bank of Australia this morning a dividend was declared of 3 per cent. for the half-year, with a bonus of 7s. 6d. per share. The accounts from America arc favourable, and the steamer brings a fair amount of specie. The transfers at New York of United States stock to foreigners, from the Ist to the sth inst., amounted to 201,600 dollars, of which 15,800 dollars was of the loan of 1842 ; 4,000 dollars of 1843 ; 12,500 dollars of 1845 ; 154,050 dollars of 1847; and 15,250 dollars of 1848. The value of dry goods entered at the port for consumption during the past week, was 777,222 dollars, against 546,592 dollars for the corresponding week last year. Large remittances were still arriving from California. From December 1848 to June 29, 1850, the gold dust received at the Philadelphia mint, direct from California, amounted to 15,850,00 v dollars. This does not include the receipts at the New Orleans branch. The receipts at that port, with the amount reported to have been received by the steam-ships Philadelphia and Georgia, at :New York from Chagres, will swell the *aggregate to nearly twenty millions of dollars. This is at the rate of thirteen millions of dollars per annum, including the last arrival. The steam-ship Oregon, at Panama, from San Francisco, brings very favourable accounts relative to the productiveness of the mines, and more satisfactory advices regarding the posi tion of mercantile matters generally. Notwithstand ing all the difficulties the people of San Francisco have had to contend with in the shape of fires, a very important change has taken place in the system of doing business, and peas have not fluctuated so much as we anticipated. Spe culation has in a great degree subsided, and business evi dently is conducted upon a better basis. Real estate has largely depreciated in value, without having created the dis asters anticipated, and we may with safety look for better and more speedy returns for shipments than have yet been realised. The Hamburgh mail, with Friday's accounts, informs us that there had been an active demand for Bills of Exchange. Funds and Shares were more dealt in, and firmer. The weather was very fine for the crops. By direct arrivals we have intelligence of March 30 from Van Dieman's -Land and Sidney, and via Madras to the middle of April. The market for imports at the latter place was good; but the supply of drapery articles was quite ade quate. All was expected to advance considerably. There was still dissatisfaction about the convict question. Wheat a., Hobart Town was 4s. to I.s. 3d. per bushel, and expected to advance. Her Majesty's ship Amphitrite has arrived from Valparaiso with accounts of May 1. There are 1,500,000 dollars on board in specie. She brings likewise Rio de Janeiro dates of Juna 9. The fever bad abated, no ca.es having occurred for three weeks previously. Jamaica advises of July 1 have been received via New York. The Assembly had passed a Bill to raise the interest on the loan to be obtained in England. The weather was favourable, but the rains came rather late in the year. Mexican letters of June 20 state that Congresswas to meet that day upon the subject of the foreign debt. The amounts pending for account of the Mexican bond holders were. in Vera Cruz, on the 15th ult., 136,641 dolls. 28c., and in Tampico, on the 10th ult., 5,545 dolls. 55c. The Committee of Spanish American Bondholders have received this morning a letter from Mr. Lord, dated " La Guayra, 22d June," apprizing them of Senor Olavarria having left the Ministry, and been again succeeded by Senor Lecuna. In consequence of this change, the final settlement of a plan for discharging the arrears of interest has suffered a fresh delay. The day before Senor Olavarria left the Ministry the Executive issued a decree annulling that of the Ist of ✓Octo ber last, to make an alteration for the relief of the Treasury, but in nowise altering the quota of duties set apart for the foreign creditors—on the contrary, enforcing in strong terms its most rigorous observance. No remittance has arrived, but expectations are held out that a remittance may be fftwarded by the next mail. The English Funds continue heavy, chiefly from paucity of business. Most of the speculators are leaving town. Consols have been 96% s for transfer, and 96 1 % for account.

The quantity of Wheat on sale in the country markets held on Saturday was small; nevertheless the demand for all kinds ruled heavy, and in some instances the quotations had :a downward tendency. Malting Barley and the best Flour were held at full prices; but all other articles met a dull inquiry. We have letters from New York to the 11th inst. The Flour market was steady at full prices. Large quantities of Indian Corn changed hands on English account. In the Baltic ports, the Wheat trade has ruled firm. Throughout France, Holland, and Belgium, a steady business has been doing in Wheat land Flour. Up to our market last week the arrivals of En g li s h G ra i n wore small. From abroad we received 21,379 quarters of Wheat; 13,005 ditto of Barley; 46,942 . ditto of O a t s; 89 ditto of Beans; 1,949 ditto of Yeas; 1,671 ditto of Linseed; 251 ditto of Itape Seed; 28 ditto of Mustard Seed; 1,404 ditto of sundry seeds; 4,222 sacks and 25 barrels of Flour. The quantity of English Wheat received fresh up to this morning's market was very limited, but of excellent quality. Notwithstanding that the number of both town and country buyers in atte n d ance was o n the increase, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home pr oduce, owing to the very favour able change in the weather for the crops, and the last arrivals from abroad last week, ruled heavy. In some in stances the finest parcels were held at prices equal to those obtained on Monday last; but the few transact'.ons reported in the middling and inferior kinds were at a decline of is per qneold.uarter. At the c l ose o f business several parcels remained u n ti t ih i to t A few offers to ship Wheat from the east coast came to The hand, but the business doing was small. Reports of the existence of blight in the Wheats were extensively spread to-day. e oi y n p ng o a o f r t‘ t f vi o ca o e r s ; t:l h i n t e ehr \ i ee ll in f go h p rt e l o c a o l t t t sa e i tn o r isnaohave v r ee g e: e t 'thanuern were for . many yowl,- no in e -- - 8 Past, y;t there was not much inclination o l s s;. h realise. o b sv uF ti w nwe a e s w scarce. ac tualop f t fc s t changee c I GI on businessna Scarcely any English Barley was off er i ng , b u t th e supp l y l of foreign was good. Alaltiog parcels sold to a fair extent, at fully previous rates, but grinding and distilling sorts were neglected. Although the quantity of Malt ready for delivery was comparatively trifling, that article met a very s'ow inquiry at about stationary prices. The demand for Oats was in a very depressed state, and prices were fully 6d per quarter lower. The market was largely supplied with foreign samples. Beans moved off slowly, but we have no change to notice in their value. Five quarters of new white Suffolk Peas were disposed of at 28e. per quarter. Old qualities had a downward tcnihncv. Indian Corn and Meal were neglected, though offered on lower terms. Several large parcels of foreign Flour were cleared off, but the demand for English qualities ruled inactive.

From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts were somewhat on the increase, and in good condition. Al though the attendance of country buyers was not large, the Beef trade ruled steady, at prices fully equal to those obtained on Monday last; the prime,t Scots selling at from 3s 6d to 3s 8d per Blbs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire, we received 1,500 Scots and Short-horns; from the northern districts, 9)0 Short-horns; from other parts of England, 300 Herefords, Bunts, Devons. &c.; and from Scot land, Scots. The numbers of Sheep were considerably less than those exhibited on this day se'unight. Downs and Lincolns moved off steadily at an advance in the quotations of 20 per 8lbs; the former selling at from 33 10d to 4s per Blbs, and the value of most other breeds was well supported. Notwithstanding that the Lamb trade was tolerably firm, we have no improvement to notice in the currencies. The pr invest Down qualities realized 4s 8d per Blbs.

MERCANTILE MARINE (No. 2) BILL. On the motion that the House should go into Com mittee on this Bill, Mr. LABOUCHERE, in answer to a question from Mr. Stafford, said that he had never intended that the officers of yachts should be included under the opera tions of the Bill, and would have no objection to consi der any suggestions that might be made by the owners of yachts on the bringing up of the report. The HOll4O then resolved itself into a Committee on the Bill, Mr. BERNAL in the chair, On clause 100 being put, some discussion ensued upon the principle of this and the following clauses, and it was ultimately agreed that the clauses from 100 to 106 should be struck out. Clauses 107, 108, 109, and 110 were also agreed to. Clauses 111 and 112 were next agreed to. On clause 113 being moved, Mr. BAINES proposed to introduce certain words giving power to the Court to award costs to prosecuting parties, and also to inflict the punishment of hard lab)ur on persons who aught be convicted under the Act. Mr. HENLEY approved of the mode of punishment prescribed, but objected to giving costs to prosecutors, on the ground that it would offer st premium to common informers. After a short discussion the amendment was agedd to, and the clause passed. Clauses 114, 115, sad 116, were agreed to without discussion. Clauses 117 and 118 were struck out. In clause 119, Admiral BOWLEg " moved the addi tion of the following words:—" And all penalties and forfeitures which, by the General Merchant Seamen's Act, or the Seamen's Protection Act, arc made payable to the Seamen's Hospital Society, shall be paid to the Board of Trade, or as it rosy direct."

Clatif;e 123 was struck out. Clauses 124 and 125 were •agreed to. Clause 126 was agreed to aft:r a short conversation. On clause 127 Le;ng read, which prescribed the mole of keeping the various accounts and funds under the Bill, Mr. HENLEY suggested that, with respect to the moneys which the Commissioners would hold as trustees in the nature of wages, the interest of those moneys should be paid to the parties to whom the wages be longed, less the expenses of management. Mr. LABOUCHERE promised to consider the sug guestion., The chime, with that understanding, was then agreed :o as it stood. Clause 128 was agreed to without opposition. Clause 129 wes aLo agreed to with a slight amendment The remaining, clauses, 130, 131, and 132, and sche. dules A, 13, and C, were thou agreed to without dis. cussion.

After partaking of refreshments, the company ad journed to the large school-room attached to the college, where a concert of sacred music, selected from the works of Handel and Haydn, was performed by an orchestra of 50 performers, vocal and instrumental. who liberally rendered their services gratuitously on the occasion. The concert ter minated at half-past ten o'clock, and after an afternoon and evening spent most pleasingly the company retired, appa rently much delighted with so rational and enlivening a festival. LUCIFER MATCIIES.—A lady, who was a regular vixen, and lost no opportunity of tormenting her husband with cold mutton and curtain lectures, in a temporary fit of good-humour once coolly asked how they made Inciter matches. "Oh !" said he, "itis a very simple process, but a very silly one —I made one myself once." "Indeed, how did you do it?"—" Why, by marrying you, my dear." THE COLDSTREAM GuARDS.—It is generally under -steed that the colonelcy of this distinguished regiment will be conferred on his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, in compliment to the memory of his late lamented father.

DESTINY.—The scapegoat which we make respon sible for all our crimes and follies; a necessity which we set down for invincible, when we have no wish to strive against it. —Eliza Cook's Journal. A land agent travelling by rail from Tipperary to Cork, a few days ago, left a parcel of bank-notes, amounting to 1001., behind hint in the carriage, which, however, was fortunately observed by the guard soon after, who took charge of it, and safely returned it to the owner. ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.— An immense number of persons left the Waterloo station yesterday morning in the excursion trains to Southampton. One of the trains left a quarter of an hour before another, and overtaken by the latter some distance down the line. As there appeared scarcely sufficient power in the en gine of the first train to keep it ahead of the second, the lat ter assisted in propelling the former along. When near Basingstoke the first train shot ahead a little of the second, bat was again overtaken by the latter, and although the concussion of their coming in contact was very slight it was sufficient to throw a man out who was improperly sitting on the outer rail of an open third class carriage, without any roof, which was the fourth from the last carriage of the first train. The man fell across the' rail, and the whole of the four last carriages of the first train went over his head and arm. His head was cut to pieces, and his brains scattered over the line. He was, of course, killed by the first wheel which went over hi m . He moaned after he fell out of the carriage. He was respectably dressed, and it was stated that he resided somewhere in the neighbourhood of Ludgate. hill. It is said that no blame was attributable to the driver of the engine of the second train, because the concussion of coming in contact with the first tr whoainw rn oul e d t n w o i t th ha tl e e done l any damage if the unfoitipate man Accident had not been sitting where he had no business to sit.

Bd. in the year 7,6231b5. of British manu factured snuff were exported from the United Kingdom. The Building for the Exhibitors of 1851 is to be made in Birmingham and the neighbourhood. Messrs. Fox, Henderson and Co., of the London Works, at Smethwick, 'have the contract for the iron framework; 'Messrs. Clance, of Spon-lane, will supply the enormous quantity' of glAs'i re quired; and the tubes are also entrusted to a firm in the dis trict.
