The number of claims from death during the year has been flvo, and Mr. SADLEIR, the House adjourned to Friday, and the amount paid upon these, and upon the claims which arose .. In December, 1849, is 2,250/. In all cases, when requested by the re presentatives, immediate payment has been made, subject to the usual discount. There are not, at the present time, any claims upon the Society. ' the real state of feeling of the educated Roman Ca tholic inhabitants of this country. Many, like the Duke of NORFOLK and Lords BEAUMONT and CA MOYS, have come forward most creditably to declare their firm adherence to the Constitution and laws of the country of which they are natives, and to protest against the Ultramontane doctrines that would render everything subservient to the absolute authority claimed by the Roman See. Others, how ever, proclaim themselves the willing serfs of a spiritual despotism, and would have the nation submit itself to sacerdotal tyranny, not daring to resist in anything. This state of affairs is well expressed in the fol lowing "EXTRACT OF LETTER, DATED 15TH FEBRUARY, 1851, FROM AN E NGLISH ROMAN CATHOLIC PEER. "Mr. Henry Knight, Lord Clifford's ag.-nt, is a fair specimen of the Ultra Party amongst the English Ro man Catholics • their numb e r i s greater than, I imagine, is generally believed. With such people it is useless to argue, and impossible to deal: they are prepared to stand by the See and Court of Rome under all circum stances; their principles are consequently totally incom patible with those on which the Constitution and laws of this country rest; they religiously bow in all things to the absolutism of Rome, and condemn as heretics, deists, and traitors, all who do not pay the same blind obedience to the will of the Vatican. " Dr. Ullathorne is another example: his teaching in- culcates disobedience to the State, and violation of the I laws. After a brief interregnum, the RUSSELL Ministry have resumed office, without change or alteration of any kind. As they cannot have received any great accession of strength during the interval that has passed since Lord JOHN RUSSELL applied to the House of Commons for an adjournment of the debate on the PRECIOUS BUDGET, having just before tendered the resignation of himself and colleagues to her MAJESTY, the continuance in office of the same parties must be regarded as a mere temporary makeshift, until the difficulties epasioned by the conflicting opi nions on the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill can be removed, and a combined Government be formed from the various sections of Free-traders—the followers of PEEL as well as of RUSSELL. It is, therefore, to all intents and purposes, a "Ministry of transition," such as we have for several days past predicted ; and no question of any magnitude, or on which any for midable opposition is likely to be offered, will be in troduced until the Papal Aggression Bill, in its modified form, receives the legislative sanction and becomes the law of the land, and till a new Cabinet be formed with some pretensions to be termed "a Govern ment." The annual income derivable from premiums alone upon the 1,174 policies completed to the 31st Dec., 1850, is 10,076/. Is. 4d. The Directors feel great pleasure in being enabled to submit this very satisfactory statement, which cannot but enlist from the public increased favour for the Society, and with the continued aid of the members must advance its prosperity.

"Mr. Bowyer says, that the Letters Apostolic are spiritual in their nature, and therefore binding in con science. No true Ronian Catholic can in his view refuse to abide by their consequences, or refrain from carrying out their injunctions; their consequences are the com mon law of Rome superseding the common and statute law of this country, and their injunctions are to consider null and void ordinances of the Crown of England, though ratified by Parliament; Le Pape s'avisera has more force with these slaves of Rome than La Leine le veut. "Hence it follows, that when the expressed will of the See of Rome and the expressed will of the State of Eng land clash, as they now do, the Roman Catholic finds that be cannot remain faithful to both powers, but must choose one or other of the antagonists for his master." We have, in common with the great body of the people of all classes and parties, viewed with regret and disgust the resumption of office by Sir CHARLES WOOD. At first sight it appears like a deliberate insult to the community to restore that most unfortunate and incompetent financier to a situation of such importance. It seems as if the voice of public opinion were slighted and despised, and that Lord JOHN RUSSELL had obstinately determined to force that bitter dose, "THE PRECIOUS BUDGET," on the afflicted and indignant nation. But the point happily admits of another and more satisfactory so lution, and until we hear the explanations on the subject of the "financial scheme," on which the Premier maintained an unbroken silence, disregarding all the fishing interrogatories that were addressed to him from all sides of the House, we shall be disposed to give him "the benefit of the doubt." The appointment of a new and more popular Chancellor of the Exchequer, who might merit the public confidence by bringing forward fiscal and financial measures calculated to relieve industry and to promote the welfare and prosperity of the nation, although it would be received with the greatest de light at the present moment, might possibly retard, or even prevent, the formation of that combined Go vernment to which we are all looking forward with the most intense anxiety. It is perfectly clear that several seats in the Cabinet must be retained for the expected recruits. Four or five offices at least, and those of no trivial importance, must be reserved for the Peelites ; and theaddition of any new members to the Govern ment who could not be readily got rid of at the proper period, would only occasion increased embar rassment when the moment for action had arrived— more especially if the new Ministers were persons of any degree of talent or popularity. We must also consider that if the nature of the arrangements that may be entered into, when the sole obstacle to a coalition is removed, be properly under stood, it cannot be supposed that any measures of fiscal, financial, or monetary reform will be carried into operation until all the members of that, which we hope and believe will prove a power ful and long-lived Government, are in office to share the honours and responsibilities of the alterations. Under these circumstances, then, nothing should he done in these departments for the present, and Sir CHARLES WOOD has already afforded the most powerful evidence of his aptitude for administering the system which is appropriately termed the laissez faire, or "do-nothing" policy. The new-old Premier has demanded time until Friday before he shall be required to state the course which the Government intend to pursue with respect to the other business before the House. He will particularly refer to the Budget, the time at which it is to be brought forward, and the line to be adopted in reference thereto. Considering the diffi culties in which he has been involved, and the urgent claims upon his attention, having to completely re model the only measures that have yet been brought forward, we shall gladly accord the neces sary respite. This, however, we feel it an imperative duty to declare—the country will not submit to equal taxation of every description of income, or to the classification for fiscal purposes of the precarious profits of industry with the divi dends, interest, or annual produce of first-class in vestments, or of well circumstanced estates. We do not however desire, under the peculiar circumstances of the case, to insist upon an immediate solution of the fiscal problem. As we long since pointed out, the termination of the law imposing an income-tax affords the most fitting opportunity for a full revision and modification of the entire system of taxation, a course that has been so urgently demanded by all classes of the community. If we are assured, then, that a stringent and search ing inquiry, such as we yesterday suggested, will be instituted not only into fiscal matters, but also into the financial and monetary subjects, that are so closely and intimately connected therewith, that one cannot properly be disposed of without the others being disposed . of also, we shall yield our assent, although a reluctant one, to the renewal of that ini quitous impost for a brief period. It should not, however, be renewed for more than a single year, and even half that period ought to be amply sufficient. It must, however, be distinctly understood that the concession will only be made on the distinct and po sitive understanding that a real and not a mock in vestigation is to take place, and that the delay is not to be resorted to as a mode of shelving a dis agreeable subject for another year. And as there will be a large surplus of at least two millions and a half, we would also suggest that one-half of the tax to be levied under Schedules D and E should be remitted in the interval pending the report of the Committee. This would require about 900,0001. in round terms; and a similar sum might be applied to the reduction of the window -tax to one moiety of its present amount. These boons might be conceded without any danger of occasioning a deficiency, and they would afford the best evidence of the bond fides of the Government in demanding the delay.

In giving to the public this extract, which contains so clear a view of the desires and objects of the plrties who insist on the patient submission of the country to the Papal behests, Mr. PurizoN COOPER has added to the many obliga tions under which we lie to him for his various pub lications, more especially those °Tithe "Common Law and the Pope's; Apostolic Letters," and "The Act of Settlement and the Pope's Apostolic Let ters." The little brochure* from which the above quoted epistolary frag,neat is ex tracted, will be found eminently interesting at the present crisis, and,a fitting, indeed a necessary, com panion to the pamphlet first alluded to. We earnestly commend it to public attention—it will repay perusal. " * The Ultra Partyamongst the English Roman Catholics.

Mr. James Wallack made his re - appearance here last evening, in the character of Don Cesar do Baz.n. It was his first appearance since his late long and severe illness, and his reception was the enthusiastic greeting accorded only to an old friend. He seemed in the highest spirits, and his physical energies do not appear to have been in the least impaired by his recent indisposition. Don Cesar de Bnan is one of Wallack's very best parts, and cates WallPek is the best Don Cesar de Bass❑ that has ever appeared, and this we say with a perfect recollection of Frederic Lemaitre's personation of the ' same part. Great as Frederic Lemaitre is, he is not the high-born and high-bred Castilian noble, while `Val lack, notwithstanding his recklessness and his degrada tion, imparts to the cbaracter of Don Cesar that indefin able air of refinement, which is inseparable from the true gentleman, however depraved or degraded; therefore we prefix. the Don Cesar of Mr. Wallack - to that of his French rival; it is more true to human nature, and more especially is. it more true to Castilian nature. He acted the part with great spirit, great buoyancy, and exquisite humour last evening, and at the conclusion was called before the curtain and cheered enthusiastically. A ROItANTIC IDEA.

Last night another highly interesting drama was produced at this unique little house before a crowded auditory. It is entitled The Camp Follower, or the Mystery of Twenty Years; and with regard to scenery at:d acting excells many modern productions which have obtained considerable success. The principal characters were very creditably sustained by Messrs. Willis, Dean, Burford, Fitzwilliam . and E. Green, whose exertions to carry out the idea of the author cannot be too much com mended. Mr. E. Green especially distinguished himself as an actor of more than ordinary merit. The principal female characters were undertaken by Mrs. C. Boyce and Miss Hamilton, both of whom materially aided to render the drama successt'ul. At the conclusion all the principal artists were called before the curtain, and the piece was announced for repetition every evening until further notice. . THE FUTURE. (From the Lady's Newspaper.) The mighty minister of joy I—. The sovereign cure for ill, From doubt, distress, despair, alloy, The sanctuary still; The bow of promise raised on high, Unquenchable to blaze-- When clouds have gathered o'er life's sky, Its lustre bursts the haze. It is whirling us on to the wished-for goal, Be it glory, or love, or pleasure; For oh ! where breathed there ever a human sou: But the future contained its treasure? Oh ! the past is with mystical sanctity rife, The present may pleasantness see; But the stone of tha sage, the elixir of life, Must be found in the wondrous—To BE. For there the poet's Bay is twining, The warrior's wreath put on, The bridal crown of light is shining, The cherished post is won. 'Tis there the weary is to rest, The mourner to rejoice, And every spirit to be blest For ever in its choice. Then can we wonder that each owns Its magic more and more_ That sceptred monarchs leave their thrones To fall down and adore; That golden youth's bright drealins illume; That silver age reveres; That Beauty throws her smiling bloom O'er the sunlight of its years. No; where the worshipped idols are, The heart must ever be; O'er oceans wide—through deserts far, It tracks the land and sea. But only does it love aright, Or can it gain the prize, When it seeks its treasures of delight In the future of the skies ! The first question to be brought forward by the new Ministry, indeed, we may reasonably conclude the only one on which serious differences of opinion are likely to arise, is the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill. On Friday next Sir GEORGE GREY, on moving the second reading of that measure, will state the amend ments and alterations which it is intended to make in it when it shall go into Committee. As it is the only existing obstacle to the formation of a Ministry adequate to the exigencies of the period, capable of really governing the country, and carrying out those measures of reform which are so urgently required, we must feel a natural anxiety respecting its progress. The general opinion appears to be, that Ireland will be excluded from the operation of the Bill, and that it will merely be directed against the assumption or use of the titles recently conferred by the POPE, and the creation of which cons ti tutes the aggression so loudly and so justl y complained of. We f ear th a t this compromise will not satisfy any party, while it will virtually acknowledge the authority o f th e V a ti ca n i n an integral por tion of the United Kingdom. It will, in fact, be an admission th a t h e i s j ust i f i ed, ex mero motu, in set ting aside the prerogative of the Crown, and invading the independence of the British nation at the other side of St. George's Channel when and so often as he may thi n k i t advisable or desirable to snub orinsult the British Government. His first ag gression —the contemptuous disregard of the elec tion 'of the Roman Catholic Bishops and clergy of the diocese of Armagh, and his nomination of the R e v. PAUL CULLER, who had for thirty years breathed the atmosphere of the Papal Court, and been innoculated with all its views and anti-English feel ings—must be forgotten, or such a course would nev er be contemplated. The danger in Irela n d i s i s arias perhaps greater than i t is Cher© anytbat cthoautldiengoisslyns o in t m this country, a required. At this period g is exceedingly desirable to know CATHARINE. THE FUNERAL OF THE LATE DOWAGER COUN TESS OF CHARLEVILLE.—Yesterday morning the mortal re mains of this lady were conveyed from No. 14, Cavendish square, for interment at the catacombs, Highgate Cemetery, by the side of her son, who was intered a few years since at the same place. In accordance with the desire of the late Countess previous to her death, the funeral was as unosten tatious as possible, all applications to attend having been re spectfully declined. The mourners were Hon. Charles W. Charleville, Lord Tullamore. Hon. John James Bury, Hon. Alfred Bury, Hon. Mr. Moore, &c. METROPOLITAN COMMISSION OF SEWERS.--It ap pears from a report of the secretary of the Metropolitan Commission of Sewers, printed and issued yesterday by order of the House of Commons, that in the past year the receipts amounted to 91,0701. 6s. Ild., of which 77,7841. 6s. 9d. arose from rates, and 13,322/. 55. from contributions. The pay ments in the year were 94,554/. 10s. 11d. The total charge for the year was 125,918/. 3s. 10d. The amount of assets on the 31st of December last was 82,636/. 98. 4d., and the lia bilities 161,262/. 19s. Bd., of which 61,142/. is. 10d. was the residue of the old debt of the Surrey and Kent Commission. It seems that the Commission, in little more than twelve months, have matured a comprehensive plan for the drainage of the metropolitan districts, a part of which has been ear.- ried out, and upwards of thirty-four miles of brick and pipe sewers have been executed during the year. The Commission has jurisdiction in and near the metropolis comprising an area of upwards of 112 square miles. In the year the public works of construction actually executed by the Commission amounted to 69,511/. 45. 2d. For " cleansing" alone 17,523/. 14s. 7d. was paid. Extensive works of stelinage have al ready been executed, and others are to be carried out, ac cording to the report, by the Commission. T LIE PAPAL AGGRESSION.—Mr. Andtrton has just given notice of his intention to move, at the next Court of Common Council, " that petitions be presented to both Houses of Parliament against the late aggression of the Pope, for preserving the supremacy of the Queen and subjects."proeting inviolate the civil and religi ous lib erty of her THREE DAYS' SIGHT.—A Frenchman rece i v ed a draft payable at three days sight at a certain bank.

Th e nex t morn i ng h e appeared again, and going through the same form, said, " You see that twice." The third day he appeared once more, and " YOU ice that three time. Na', by gar, Y 9 14 pay him." THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Orleanists are greatly disappointed at the post ponement of M. CRETOIS'S motion for the repeal of the law exiling the Bourbons ; of that repeal it was well known that the Comte DE CHAMBORD could not, con sistently with his principles, have taken advantage, while the princes of the Orleans branch, who are not restrained by the same considerations, would at once have returned, and would have become, even in spite of themselves, the focus of intrigues for a monarchical restoration. M. TRIERS, M. PISCATORY, and General CHANGARNIER were particularly vehement in their opposition to the proposed adjournment, and M. TRIERS went so far as to justify the defence, by M. MARC DUFRAISSP, of the execution of Louis XVI. "M. DUFRAISSE," said 111. TRIERS, " has an incon -1 testable right to state in the tribune his personal ap preciation of an historical ;act." We should scarcely have expected such a sentiment from the quon dem co-conspirator with BERRYER and DE MONTALEMBERT in giving to the Jesuits the monopoly of the education of the people, and in de stroying universal suffrage ; but eccentricities and inconsistencies such as these are permitted to the members of " the great party of order." M. DE MONTALEMBER T has written a letter to the Journal des Debats to contradict the report that he had in the Chamber of Peers, during a discussion on the affairs of Poland, on one occasion characterised the Emperor NICHOLAS as a crowned monster. Seeing that this report has been in circulation for the last ten or twelve years, and must have been known to M. DE MONTALAMBERT to have been so during the whole of that period—seeing, moreover, that the circumstance has been frequently alluded to in his presence, both in the National Assembly under the Republic, and in the Chamber of Peers under the Monarchy, this contradiction is somewhat of the latest, and would seem as though intended to conceal some arriere-pense:e. In all the country districts of France " the owners and Occupiers of land" are complaining bitterly of agricultural distress. D.Z. DUFIN, the President of the Legislative As sembly, has been confined to his bed for the last three days by an attack of acute rheumatism. Government Securities, which opened firm at the Bourse, declined towards the close. There was very little business transacted.

Martial law had been proclaimed in the province. At Drontheim the people attempted to liberate a Socialist propagandist of the name of MIKRELSEN. The infantry were twice driven hack by the mob. A vigorous charge of cavalry cleared the open space in front of the prison ; the people rallied in the narrow streets, and finally drove the troops out of the square. The paving stones were taken up and barricades erected. Some private houses were pillaged. Reinforcements of troops were ad vancing on Drontheim. SWITZERLAND. The Federal Convention of Switzerland, in conse quence of the threats of the French and German Go vernments, on the subject of the political refugees resident in that country, has abolished the obligation imposed in July, 1849, on the cantons, to receive refugees, and has besides maintained in force the orders relative to the internment and banishment of refugees. This determination has been announced in a proclamation addressed to all cantons. ITALY. The Austrians have concentrated an army of 20,000 men on the frontiers of Piedmont. THE LEVANT MAIL. We have received Constantinople journals of the Bth ult., and those of Smyrna of the 14th ult., and from Athens to the 18th ult. The intelligence from Constantinople is not important. Ahmet Weffyk Effendi, Imperial Commissioner in the Principalities of the Danube, has been named Ambassador at Lon don. The announcement of the termination of the troubles at Samos is confirmed. The Smyrna and Athens news is quite insignificant. Nothing more has transpired respecting the demands said to have been made by the Ottoman Porte on the Viceroy of Egypt. • DEATH OF THE HON. AND REV.

MEMOIRS OF HORACE WALPOLE, EDITED BY ELIOT WARBURTON, D.Q.--A new historical work, which promises to be one of great general interest, entitled " Me moirs of Horace Walpole and his Distinguished Contempo raries," including num erous or i g i na l letters chiefly f rom Strawberry Hill, edit e d b y Eli ot Warburton Esq., is an nounced for immediate publication by Mr. Colburn. In the prospectus of the work it is observed with much truth that " perhaps no name of modern times is prcductive of so many pleasant associations as that of Horace Walpole, and cer tainly no name was ever more intimately connected with so many different subjects of importance in connexion with li terature, art, fashion, and politics. The materials which it offers to the biogr a ph er may indeed be regarded as affording a series of the most entertaining illustrations of society in the last century that have ever been brought before the public. The position of various members of his family connecting Horace Walpole with the Cabinet, the Court, and the Legis lature, his own intercourse with those characters who be came remarkable for brilliant social and intellectual qualities, and his reputation as a wit, a scholar, and a virtuoso, can not fail to render his memoirs eqully amusing and in structiv " ARREST OF AN AMERICAN PACKET.—ACCOIIOtS from Holyhead state, that the New York packet-ship York shire has been placed under arrest by authority of a warrant issued by the High Court of Admiralty, at the instance of the City of Dublin Packet and the Chester and Holyhead Railway Companies ; the former claiming 10,000/. for ser vices rerdered by the Prince of Wales in towing the said vessel into the harbour, and the latter claiming 3,0001. for similar services rendered by the Anglia.— Liverpool Abion.

The disturbances at Stockholm appear to have been of a much more serious character than we were at first led to imagine ; and they have been accom panied by the outbreak of an insurrection in Nor way, which has assumed' a somewhat formidable character. The disturbances at Stockholm broke out on the 15th ult. during the absence of the KIAG, at Christiania. A letter from liamburgh of the 27th ult., gives the following details : " During the winter season, owing to the difficulties of navigation, there is much delay in the arrivals of steamers from Norway and Sweden. We have just re ceived letters bearing date the 18th of February. Some disturbance, which threatened to assume a serious as pect, had tak,n place at Stockholm. Owing to the ener• getic conduct of the police and military, they were hap pily suppressed. "On the 14th the students of the University of Upsal assembled, to the number of four or five hundred, and paraded the streets of Stockholm. They were dispersed by the police with some difficulty, the people taking part with the students. "On the 15th, assemblages took place on a larger scale. The police used their staves in dispersing a mob of some 1,400 persons, and were pelted with stones. It was found necessary to call out a detachment of cavalry, which cleared the streets, and arrested some of the ring. leaders. The regency of the kingdom, established during the King's temporary abs:-.nee to open the Storthing in Norway, issu•A a proclamation prohibiting all assemblages, under penalty of severe punishment, for au attempt to disturb the public peace. " Whilst this was taking place at Stockholm scenes of a similar nature occurred in the town of Levanger, in the district of Stordal, north of Drentheim, in Norway. They originated in the arrest of a notorious promul gator of Socialist doctrines, by order of the mayor of Levaner. The people attacked the prison in which he was incarcerated. The police were driven back, and it was found necessary to send for a strong detachment of military to the neighbouring towns. The governor of the province immediately proceeded to the scene of dis turbance."

In the House of Lord 4, last night, The Marquis of LANSDOWNE stated that the QUEEN, acting by the advice of the Duke of WELLINGTON, had recalled the late Ministers, who felt they had no alter native, after the failure of other parties to form an Ad ministration, but to attempt to carry on the Government. A desultory conversation took place on the presenta tion of petitions on the subject of the Papal aggression, in the course of which Lord BROUGHAX expressed a hope that the pr esent Bill would be withdrawn, and that Parliament would proceed by way of a resolution of both Houses. Their Lordships then adjourned. In the Commons, Lord JOHN RUSSELL gave the lame explanations with regard to the Ministerial crisis which hail been given by the Marquis of LANSDOWNE in the other House. He asked that no public &summon should tako place until Friday, when he proposed proceeding with the Eccle siastical Titles Bill, and when Sir G. Gur, would state the alterations which it was proposed to introd uce into the measure. his Lordship further stated, in reply to Mr. KEOGH, that time would be given to the country to consider the prop used alterations before going into Co rn , mitttec..

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 8,000 bales, of which 600 American and 120 Egyptian were taken on speculation. The sales com prised 4,400 American; 600 Pernam and Maranhane, at 'Sid. to 81-d.; 400 Bahia, at 71c1. to Bid.; 1,700 Egyptian, at 7id. to 84d.; 600 Surat, at 34d. to 5d.; and 20 Sea Island, at Is. 2d. to ls. 6id. per lb. The market was firm, but inactive.—Railway Shares were buoyant, and prices had an upward tendency. Messrs. Baumann and Wunsch, of Glasgow, write, concerning the trade of that city, as under:— " We have scarcely any change to report in the state of our market during the last month. The prices of all our staple articles have been steadily maintained at pre- vious rates, and although we hear many complaints of x.d dull trade, we are convinced, nevertheless, that a steady and satisfactory business is doing, and is only less ap parent becaut e distributed into different channels. " The various tables of import and consumption of Cotton Wool during the past year, as published by the Liverpool houses, show that even such extravagant prices of the raw material as have been submitted. to ' have not materially checked the consumption of Cotton Wool, while our exports, including the first month of the present year, show a large and regular increase, as compared with former years. " With the example of the past year before us, and with the p ospect of a more plentiful supply of the raw material, if not from the United States, at least from all other quarters, we fear not but that, even in the or dinary course of trade, we may look forward to steady and remunerative employment for our artizans. But the visit of so many foreign buyers as will be attracted by the Great Exhibition must unavoidably have an influence in increasing our exports beyond the usual proportion, for it is within the experience of every one engaged in business, that personal communications tend tar more than any correspondence could do to increase transac tions, and more particularly so when the selection of goods depends so much upon tho intimate knowledge of the tase and wants of the various markets, which we may expect our foreign visitors to possess. x.d " Much time and attention has been given by our x.d manufacturers, during the last month, to the comple tion of their arrangements for the forthcoming Exhi bition. Various novelties, from the lowest priced cot ton handkerchief up to the most costly shawls, have 59 % made their appearance, or are still in progress, and so far as we have been able to judge, most of the productions are of the most practical character, and such as could be repeated at any time, and in large quantities." The Bombay letters to the Ist ult., per Overland Mail, advise continued tightness in the Money Market , % and dulness of t ra d e i n consequence. The Commercial Bank was a loser by the failure of Messrs. D. and M. x.d Peatonjee, but not to a serious extent. At Amsterdam on the 2d inst.
