From a regard to the wishes of her Majesty, the preparations made by the authorities here for the re ception of the Sovereign, were limited to the neces sary arrangements for the preservation of order among the multitudes expected to assemble in the Queen's park. Last year was the first occasion on which her Majesty had visited Holyrood Palace ; and the public entry had in consequence something of the character of a state pageant. This year, how ever, the royal visit was understood to be strictly private; and a general desire was entertained to re spect, as far as possible, the privacy which it was the wish of her Majesty to enjoy. a The royal landing-place, at last year, wa s a t S t. Margaret's-station, Oleeslowbank. Amidst many dis advantages, it is in prese:nt circumstances perhaps the best. Within a short distance of the Palace, it is easily re ached without the fatigue attending a public progress through the crowded streets of the city. Still, in many respects, it is capable of improvement. For instance, it is within a few yards of a grim and smoky tunnel, and is overlooked by the contiguous buildings. The line at this point is curved and narrow, and the gradient heavy; while the difficulties of the landing, arising from the siepiog bank (which - light, at least, to be planted with ornamental shrubbery), have to le overcome by successive flights of steps. The grandeur of the eeighbouring hills, however, renders the embel lisle:newts of art 01 leas consequence ; hod as an exten sive addition is shortly to be made to the royal demense ill that quarter, we may indulge the hope to have one entrance to the Queen's Park worthy of the Sovereign and of the natural magnificence of the grounds. Toe ornamental arcade erected last year at St. Marg area's station for the royal landing having been allowed to remain after the occasion had passed away, it war restored to its former elegance without much difficulty or expense. The style of the internal decoration is arabesque; and the masses of drapery having been arranged with fine artistic effect, a striking and graceful coup d'ceil is produced. The design is very tasteful, the different colours of the drapery blending with good effect. The pil lars supporting the roof are fluted, pink, and white ; and in the intervals between each were some splendid exotic plants embedded in moss (from the garden of Mr. Eagle Henderson, Vice-Chairman of the Company), which added much to the beauty of the interior. The transparent sides—formed of linen—admitted a sub dued light that was extremely effective, investing the whole with the charms of a fairy scene. Tae deco rations of the exterior of the arcade towards the rail way were chiefly floral, a magnificent floral crown being exhibited over the entrance. The gateway opening upon the public road, opposite Parsoosgreen, displayed a graceful arch adorned with dahlias an d bay leaves, surmounted with a splendid fl ora l crown. The steps and platform were laid with crimson cloth, having in the centre the Royal Stuart hunting tartan. The extensive works of the company at St. Margaret's were decorated with fleets end shrubbery, and nearly all the engines upon the line displayed some floral emblems in honour of the day. The workmen, num berng several hundreds, had an entire holiday, and, with ther wives and families, were ranged in front of the works. There were no erections of any kind in the Queen's Park, and no hustings were a pertnitted in St. Ann's Yard, as last year. Her Majesty was expected to arrive here about half-past three or four o'clock. The directors of the :North British Railway—including Mr. Eagle Hen derson, ihe Vice-Chairman, Sir Jet. Forrest, Bart., of Gen:Liston, Mr. Charles Trotter, &e.—and the resi dent engineers of the company, left Edinburgh at ten o clock in a special twain for Berwisk, to meet her Majesty. The military, the city police, and the con stttbalary arrived at their respective positions shortly after two o'clock. The guard of honour at the railway station consisted of one captain, two subal terns, and 60 men of the 331 Regiment, with the band of the 6,:n Inniskilling Dragoons, and the Qieen'e colour. Toe escort was coinposa-d of me officer and 25 men of the (Hi Dragoons. Both sides of the road in the QueeidsPo.rk, from the R iilway Station to the Palace, were lined by the btu Dragoons and 33.1 Regiment, one sgeadron of the firmer ex tending from the terminus towards the Palace, end the other squedron from the Palace towards the drill ground—tee 331 occupying the space between the two squadrons. Toe city police were also stationed at i!' :e r vaia along the route. The weather—according to the characteristic good fortune of her Majesty—was tHightful ; and, fresh as the circumstauce3 of her last visit to Holyrood are in the recollection of the inhabitants, the general anxiety to welcome the Sovereign on the present occasion appeared to have sustained little diminution. Early in the afternoon the city poured forth vast masses of its population, overflowing all the avenues to the Queen's Park. Several excursion trains from different parts of the country helped, in no small degree, to swell the throng. Many parts of the town had quite a holiday aspect. The line of the royal progress attracted an immense number of spec tators, as the elevated ground overlooking the road in the Duke's-walk commanded the nearest and perhaps the best view of the royal cortege. The crowds ota the opposite hills had a striking and romantic appear ance. Most of the rugged outlines of these pid turesque heights were occupied as a "coigne of vantage" by eager parties, who viewed with philn. sophic composure the restless mass below. Some were even enthusiastic enough to climb to the lofty site of the grey ruins of the chapel and hermitage of St. Anthony, which presented a singular contrast to the usually retired character of the spot. The windows of the few houses at Meadowbank were filled by brilliant parties of ladies; and not a few of the opposite sex, with characteristic daring, bad " climbed up to walls and battlements, To towers and windows, yea to chimney tops," to command a better view ; while a number of ladies and gentlemen, from the grounds of Parsonsgr een, witnessed both the arrival and the departure of her Majesty. The vast assemblage—which, however, from the extent of the ground, seemed less numerous and imposing than might have been anticipated—awaited without impatience the arrival of the Queen. About two o'clock, the Duke of Buccleuch, Lord Lieutenant of the county, arrived on the ground. His Grace was not in uniform, but wore the blue ribbon of the Order of the Garter, Mr. Sheriff Gordon, and Mr. J. A. Campbell, sheriff-clerk of the county of Edinburgh, were also in attendance about the same time; and Major-General Riddell and staff arrived shortly afterwards. The royal carriages were drawn up in front of the station at half -past two o'clock. The approach of her Majesty towards Edinburgh was intimated by telegraph as the royal train passed each station. The special train with the directors of the North British Railway Company arrived at St. Margaret's station at half-past three o'clock precisely, with tidings that the royal train was at hand. The cheering of the workmen at St. Margaret's station announced the near approach of her Majesty, and immediately afterwards the royal train arrived at the platform. The engine (belonging to the North British Railway Company) was decorated in a su perb style. It had in front a splendid gilt crown ; and displayed from an arch, in conspicuou s charac ters, the popular aspiration—" God save the Q ua ,„ r Longitudinal arches decorated the aides of the en gine, bearing the mottoes—" Long live the Royal Family !aid ts Success to the British Empire." Th e tender was covered with a handsome green velv e t cloth, with gold tassels; and it also displayed a pro fusion of floral ornaments. The engine was driven by Mr. Thornton, the superintendent of that department of the company's establishment. The royal train consisted of eight carriages. Three of them were elegant saloons, for the use of her Ma jesty, the Royal Family, and the members of the suite. They are constructed of teak wood, and have been finished with exquisite taste and elegance. The Queen' s . saloon carriage, made for the occasion, is eighteen feet in length, and seven and a half broad. The truck upon which it is fixed i 3 strongly made of the best British oak, firmly bolted together, fitted with improved axles, Patent buffers, very deep flanges to the wheels, and the very best manufactured springs. The linging of the interior is of the descriptio n richest of India brocade silk, pure white with a ground, superbly flowered. Th e windows are of the most costly plate glass, and the whole of th e furni ture, as well as the retiring room attached to the saloon, i s of walnut-tree wood, the chairs and ottom ans bein g covered with the same The carriage , material as the lining of t h e carriage, is lighted from a lantern , with a powerful re fl ector over the retiring-room, an d on the o ppoaite side of th e saloon is a magnificent mirror reflecting the light back again, giving the apartment a most brilliant and e l egant appearance. The only exterior distinction is a broad gold moulding round the carriage, with a gilt crow n and coat-of-arna,: over each doorway, and the panels exquisitely painted with the orders of the Bath, the Garter, and the other orders of knighthood. The Ap lomb ' of Wales' saloon and retiring room is of equal dime ' nets And equally elegant, with the exception tfiaithe fioi4Zia pure white brocaded silk, instead of _F.:- having aniaitotired amen ; and the saloon for the 111.4 royal suits similar—the curtains are of green f. silk, affixed to gilt rods, and the saloons are fitted with , 1 / 4 wine coolers, chiffonniers, couches, &c., and all the y.. v`'~-! ~ ~ ~~~ THE luxuries of an elegantly furnished apartment. In ad dition to the saloon carriages, three ordinary, but en tirely new first-class carriages formed part of the royal train, with break and luggage vans. Her Ma jesty's carriages and horses arrived here last night. The royal train having arrived at the platform, her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the other members of the royal party alighted. They were received on the platform by the Duke - of Buccleuch, Major-General Riddell, Mr. Sheriff Gordon, Mr. Eagle Henderson, and Mr. J. A. Campbell. Her Majesty and Prince Albert:cordially recognised the Duke of Buccleuch ; and immediately took their seats in the royal carriages with their Royal Highnesses the Prince of 'Wales and the Princess Royal. Prince Alfred and the Princess Alice occupied the second carriage with the Countess of Desert, the Hon. Miss Byng, and Miss Hildyard. Lord John Russell, who was in attendance upon her Majesty, occupied the third carriage, with the Hon. Colonel Gordon and the Hon. Colonel Phippa. Sir James Clark and the other members of the Royal suite followed in the other carriages. Her Majesty and Prince Albert looked extremely well. Her Majesty was plainly attired in a light dress and Paisley shawl, with a straw bonnet and white feather. The Prince wore a grey frock coat. The Royal cort e ge then moved towards Holyrood Palace at a smart pace, surrounded by the high constables of Edinburgh, with the Moderator (Mr. G. Beattie) at their bead. It was preceded by an escort of cavalry and outriders. The moment it was seen to enter the Park, a shout of welcome was raised by the vast crowd, gradually swelling into one general and prolonged burst of acclamation till her , jesty had passed. Her M,-j,sty and her illustrious Consort seemed to enjoy the grandeur tot the scene, and bowed with charac - eristic grace in acknowledg ment of the cordial greetings of her loyal subjects. The deportment of the spectators was marked by pro found respect ; and the cheering, though always loud arid hearty, was never boisterous. The aspect of the Well Crag—theslopinghill below St. Anthony's Chapel —crowded with a dense mass of spectators —was very striking. Gradually rising like the seats of an ampht theatre, its verdant sides enabled the vast multitude to visor the moving scene below with comfort. The waving of hats and handkerchiefs on the arrival of the Queen evinced a desire to join in the general welcome ; but from the exuberant enthusiasm of the surging mass below, the acclamations of the others were scarcely beard. Still, her Majesty must have been gratified by the abundant testimony of loyalty and affection dis played on every side. The Premier, when recognised by the crowd, was loudly cheered, and seemed much impressed with the cordiality of her Majesty's reception. HOLYROOD PALACE. The alterations in the royal apartments at Holyrood —principally in the way of embellishment—which have been in progress during the last few weeks, were completed in ample time for the reception of the Sovereign. Most of the domestics of the royal household having preceded her Majesty by several days, everything was in readiness for the royal family. Part of the royal carriages arrived from London by special train on Monday evening, and were dispatched to the railway station early in the afternoon for Stonehaven, where they will be in readiness to convey her Majesty and the royal suite to Balmoral. At eleven o'clock this forenoon a guard of honour, consisting of one captain, two subalterns, and fifty men of the 331 Regiment, came on duty at the Pal ace. The band of the 33d was also stationed in the quadrangle, end played at intervals. The inclosure around the statue of her Majesty by Mr. Handyside Ritchie was at an early hour removed, and the figure and ornamental pedestal displayed to the best advantage. Until the barriers were closed, the statue was the object of much interest and attention. The quadrangle was lined with the Inniskilling Dragoons, while the infantry were drawn up in front of the Palace, and the entrance on either side was kept by the High Constables of Holyrood, Canongate, and Cal ;on. Tee Lord Provost reached the Palace at three o'clock At a quarter to four the advanced guard of the cavalry and the Qieen's outriders reached the Palace, Mr. Sheriff G.,rdon's carriage preceding the royal cortege. The carriage of her Mejefty, the approach of wnich was heralded by loud cheering, then drew up a‘ the gate ; Prince Albert first alighted, and after as sisting the Queen, he gave her his arm, and proceeded to the royal apartments. They were accompanied by the Prince of \Vales, Princess Royal, Prince Alfred, and the Princess Alice ; the Countess of Desart and the Hon. Miss Byng followed. Lord John Russell, Sir James Clark, the lion. Colonel Gordon, and the Hon. Colonel Phipps, alighted at some distance from the gate, and fullowed the Royal partyi into the Palace. The Royll party was receivwd at the Palace by the Duke of Buccleuch, who had accompanied the royal car , riage on horseback from the station; Mr. Rutherford, the deputy -I“eper of the Palace, Major Biddulph of the Royal itaisehold, who bad arrived previously to the Royal parry ; the Lord Provost, Mr. Sheriff G irdon, &c. The royal standard was hoisted on the Palace immediately on the Queen's arrival, and the signal was answered by a royal salute from the Castle. The band of the 33d played the national anthem, and the regiment presented arms, whi/e amitht the sounds of general rejoicing were heard the chimes of the church bells. Shortly before her Majesty approached the Palace, the sun, which had hitherto been clouded, broke out with great splendour, and rendered the scene truly animated and beautiful. On the Calton-hill, the north part of Salisbury Crags, and other eminences, were congregated a great number of gaily dressed people—the groups being distinctly seen as the landscape was thus beau tifully lit up. At half-past four the carriages were ordered for the royal party to take a drive before dinner. It is understood that this evening the Lord Provost will receive the honour of knighthood from her Ma jesty. The military were under the command of Major- General Riddell. Mr. Sheriff Gordon took the superintendence of the arrangements at the Palace and the railway-station. The city police force was headed by our able superintendent, Mr. Linton, and the different lieutenants ; Mr. List, the efficient head of the county police, had the charge of the landing platform. LEVANT MAIL. By the Levant mail we have received Constanti nople journals to the 14th, and . Athens journals to the 18:h, both inclusively. There is no political news of interest from the Turkish capital. The Journal de Constantinople publishes a long account of the launch of the Mahmoudie ship of the line, in presence of the Sultan, who previous to the launch went on board and examined the ship in detail. The Courrier d'Athaes is also destitute of poli tical news of importance. It announces that the Queen was about to leave for Oldenburg, to at tend a marriage in her family. The same journal gives several accounts of further acts of piracy and brigandage. The celebrated pirate George Negros landed at Cea on the 7th, at the head of six men armed to the teeth. They ill-treated the quaran tine officer, robbed him of all he had, and even of his seal of office; they then compelled him to procure them provisions, and broke into a store, from which they took more. They next robbed several boats, and went away. The au th or i t i es sent 30 men i n pursuit of them, b u t w i t h out success . T he French Minister consented, at the request of the Government, to allow the Chaptal steamer to go in search of the pirates. The pirate Negros sub s. quently landed at Nhxas, robbed the offices of the quarantine, and took away the seal, together with 40 drachmas in money. Amongst the acts of brigandage recorded is the pillaging of a monastery in Euboea; large sums of money and the sacred ve-sels were taken away, and four gendarmes were captured; also the invading of the town of Callidroma, and the complete sacking of Marathia ; in the latter place a stud en t was horribly tortured. An engagem en t t oo k place on the 13th, at a short distance from the chief town of the province of Boeotia, between a band of brigands under the chief Tasso3 and a detachment of gendarmes; two brigands and two gendarmes were killed.

Why, could such be done all of that diverting frater nity who travelled the country for the diversion of her Majesty's lieges might be indicted for conspiracy. A little boy goes to a show, and the exhibitor bawls out, "Be in time I be in time Within you will see the drowning of the Egyptians in the Red Sea, and the escape of the Israelites therefrom. Be in time ! be in time !" The curiosity of a juvenile standing near is aroused, and an assistant of the showiaren's seeing this tells him that really what has been asserted is a fact—one of the grandest sights ever witnessed is to be seen within. Thus incited, the youth pays his halfpenny and goes in, when being disappointed in not really seeing the wonders announced, he ewers his pr oast against the fraud in not really seeing the Egyp tians drowned ; upon this the bland showman compla cently says, " They were drowned, my little dear, just before you came in."—(Laughter.) Fetal in stance of the evil of procrastination.—(Laughter.) Was the exhibitor and hi, friend in such a c -Ise to he charged with conspiracy ? He (Alr. Pollock) would relate to them an anecdote told him by a friend re• sidinar in Ireland. In Killarney, at a hurling match, one Tim O'Laughlin received a fracture of one of his legs by reason of the hurl coming in contact with it. Tim's friends immediately procured a stretcher, and carried their wounded companion to have his leg set. On the way they met a carriage, containing an English gentleman, approaching, and, on coming up, being desirous to make something by the job, ac costed him, telling him that the man on the stretcher, was poor Tim O'Laughlin, one of the finest boys in all the countbry round, who had just bee❑ kilt by a burl, and lead left a wile and five young children, with not so much as would procure a candle to put at the foot of the bed for the wake. Tim all this time lies perfectly dead on the stretcher. The Englishman, being touched, puts his band in his pocket, draws out a sovereign, and says, " There, that's towards the funeral." " Long life to your honour !" and a score of hands are stretched out to seize the sovereign. Tim, finding that in the scramble, he may be left minus, raises himself up, and says, " Don't you think, your honour, you'd better let the deceased have a thrifts for himselt ?"—(Loud laughter.) Now here, on the principle of the present pro,ecution, was a fine case for a❑ indictment for a conspiracy. Lir. Pollock went on to contend that none of the counts charged could be maintained. His LORDSHIP, in summing up, instructed the jury that if they thought the prisoners conspired, by false pretences and representations, to cheat persons who attended the sale by giving them rubbish instead of goods, which they sold as such, then the conspiracy was made out; but if they thought it was possible that the prisoners might have opened the establish ment to sell goods at a fair price, and had no inten tion to cheat, they ought to find them not guilty ; ond, if they had any reasonable doubt on these points, they must give them in favour of the prisoners. The jury, after a retirement fron. court of twenty minutes, returned a verdict uf Guilty against both prisoners of conspiring to defraud the three per- , ons named in the indictment, and all who frequented the sale-room. Mr. Pord.ocx then moved in arrest of judgment upon the Ist, 4 h, 7th, and 11th counts of the indict ment upon which tue prisoners had been found guilty, the objection being that those counts stated th,..t the prisoners had conspired to defraud with other evil disposed p-rsons, but did not state the names of those persons, er allege that they were to the jurors unknown. t~is LORDSUIP overruled the objection, and sen tenced the prisoners to six months' imprisonment, and to pay a fine of 201., to be paid before their release from prison.

Daniel ArDermott, a man dressed like a sailor, but described as a hawker, was charged with a robber) upon a young woman named Sarah Jacobs, housemaid in the service of Dr. Power, a physician in Finsbury square. The complainant stated, that while engaged in the kitchen of her master's house about three o'clock in the afternoon, she was beckoned up the area steps by the prisoner, who told her that he had just come off a long voyage, and having purchased a handsome shawl for his sister, whom he had not been able to meet with, was anxious to sell it, if he could, as he was very short of money. He then displayed before her a shawl of a showy pattern and colours, and agreed to sell it to her for five shillings, upon condi - tion that she would let him have it back again if be should be fortunate enough to discover where his sister resided. She assented to this arrangement, handed him the five shillings, received the shawl, and the prisoner went away; about two days afterwards, however, in the evening, he beckoned her up again, and, telling her that he had had an offer of 21. 10s. for the shawl, expressed his hope that she would let him have it, and he would return her the five shil lings she had paid him. She expressed her readiness to do so, and fetching the article from her boxes, asked for her money. Toe prisoner requested that she would just throw the shawl open, that he might see it was tne same, but the instant she had done so he snatched it out of her hand, thrust it into his pocket, and walked of with it. She, however, pursued him, demanding her money or the shawl, but the prisoner told her he could not pay her, as he had not got the 55., and with regard to her purchasing the shawl for so small a sum, it was entirely false, as the ss. was only an instalment of its value, and that she had agreed to give him 16s. more. This was a pure fabrication, and, on finding he could not get away from her, he offered her two or three worthless white handkerchiefs in exchange, but she refused to receive them, and as, after following him a long dis tance, she could neither get the shawl nor the money, she gave him into the custody of the first policeman she met. Allen, a constable of the G division, stated that, seeing a large crowd collected in Union -street, he went up to ascertain the cause of it, and found the prisoner endeavouring to escape from the young woman, who was holdieg him by the arm and charg ing him with robbing her. Upon taking him into custody and searching him the shawl he bad sold to Dr. Power's servant was found in one pocket, while in another was a quantity of petty articles of haber dashery, together with a regular hawker's licence. On the road to the station he begged the witness to allow him to sell the shawl, which he said he could dispose of for 255., and he would then return the pro secutrix's money, but the witness refused to accede to any such course, and lodged him in the station. Mr. Vann, who now appeared for the defence, con tended that the evidence was wholly insufficient to warrant his client's committal upon such a charge, and pointed put the apparent improbability of his selling the shawl for such a sum as that described; but the magistrate did not view it in the same light, and the depositions having been in great part taken by Mr. Vine, the chiet-clerk, the prisoner was or dered to be finally committed for their completion. Henry Gregory, a printer's joiner, who stood re manded upon the charge of feloniously causing the death of a young man named Dutton, potman in the service of a publican in Hoxton-square, was then brought up for final examination. Tne deceased, it may be recollected, met his death in the course of a pugilistic encounter with the pri soner, to whom he had offered great provocation, and who at the end of the fifth or sixth round s tr uc k him so violent a blow under the ear that he instantly dropped into the arms of one of the bystanders, and never moved again. Mr. Sydenhana Watson, a surgeon in the New North-road, now deposed to having made a post mortem examinstion of the body of the deceased on the 20th instant, and that his opinion clearly was that the death had resulted from an effusion of blood upon the brain, which had caused the rupture of a blood vessel, consequent upon the infliction of some violent blow or blows. He also found, upon further exami nation, that the third rib on the left side had been broken, and on various parts of the body he dis covered numerous contusions, some of which were very severe. The prisoner, who ;bad all through expressed ex trf me regr e t for the occurrence, now intimated his intention to reserve his defence, and was fully com mitted to Newgate for trial. CLERKENWELL. Patrick Scott, a rough looking fellow, well k nown to the police, was charged by Mr. William Hodg sa y, surveyor, of Southend, with a most daring robbery and outrage, under the following circumstances : On Monday evening last, about 5 o'clock, the pro secutor was in Peutonville, when he felt a tug. at his pocket, and on turning round he saw the prisoner and another ruffian, the former having his lisnolcerebiel. He immediately collared the accused, who resisted him, striking, and kicking, and biting him severely, whilst his companion insdzt a signal, which attracted several other desperate characters, who also attacked him and endeavoured to rescue Scott, of whom, how ever, witness retained his hold until the arrival of some police constables, one of whom (Cooper, 61 N) was immediately knocked down by the prisoner, and he then made his escape, the officer remaining on the ground for a considerable time, in an almost lifel ess state.

Mr. Mould coocurred in this from his own pe rsona observation. The prosecutor hoped the worthy magistrate w on deal with the case in a summary manner. Mr. TYnwairr remarked, that in such a case he' could not possibly yield to such a request. He fully committed the prisoner fur trial, and said be w ould grant warrants for the apprehension of any o f the a party who could be identified as having been e' cerned in the outrage. LAMBETH. c h a rg ed Susan Harvey, a woman of the town, was d before Mr. Elliott with fel on iously cutting' a nd wounding the person of Alfred Jackson. From the evidence of the complainant, it 9 ppelir, ea , that on the night before, af•er l eav ing the Ira i uxhaw gardens, he went into the George and Dragon public; house, near the water-gate entrance, and, whe n abo t _ ll , to seat himself on a char, the prisoner object ed to n 1 doing so, saying that it had been occupied by a frier of hers, whom she expected b a ck. The complain t said he should occupy it until th e r etu r n of her trie r d d l but this the prisoner objected t o , a nd words -ensu ed ' when the pri.oner flung a quantity of beer in t beam; plaivaut's face. See also flu ng a t um bler at 17 is lien ' t and the complainant, throwing up his arm to protect himself, caught the blow on his wrist, and, so , gr ey was the force, that it divid e d th e t en d ons , and colt d a serious wound and a con s id era bl e l oss o f blo "'; fore the haemorrhage could be stopped. The wit t ' es „ added that a part of the br o k en glass struck bira his nose, between his eyes, and caused a woun d the" also. The prisoner, who seemed to treat the ci‘larg e rather lightly, said she had been insulted by the' l: plainant, who told her she u se d t o wa lk in the tie ig bourhood of the Old Bailey. 06 Mr. ELLIOTT, who c ons id ere d t h e assau lt to be on of a serious nature, re man d e d t h e pr i soner t o a f 4 tut s day.
