commend all its wants to your favourable consideration, with a full confidence that you will meet them not only with justice but with liberality. It should b e borne in mind that in this city, laid out by Washington, and consecrated by his name, is located the capitel of our nation, the emblem of our Union, and the symbol of our greatness. Here also are situated all the public buildings necessary for the use of the Government, and all these are exempt fro m taxation. It should be the pride of Americans to render this place attractive to the people of the whole Republic, and convenient and safe for the transaction of the public business and the pre servation of the public records. The Government should, therefore, bear a liberal proportion of the bur dens of all necessary and useful improvements. And as nothing could contribute: more to the health, comfort, and safety cf the city, and the security of the public buildings and records than an abundant supply of pare water, I sespectfully recommend that you make such provisions for obtaining the same as in your wisdom you may deem proper. BOUNDARY BETWEEN TEXAS AND MEXICO The Act passed at your last session, making certain propositions to Texas for settling the disputed boundary between teat state and the territory of New Mexico, was, immediately on its passage, transmitted by express to the Governor of Texas, to be laid by him before the General Assembly for its agreement thereto. Its receipt was duly acknowledged, but no official information bas yet been received of the action of the General Assembly thereon; it may, however, be very soon expected, as, by the terms of the propositions submitted, they were to have been acted upon, on or before the first day of the present month. SLAVERY QUESTION. It was hardly to have been expected that the series of measures passed at your last session, with the view of healing the sectional differences which had sprung up from the slavery and territorial questions should at once have realized their beneficent purpose. All mutual concession, in the nature of a compromise must necessarily be unwelcome to men of extreme opinions. And though without such cobeessions our Constitution could not have been formed, and cannot be permanently sustained, yet we have seen them made the subject of bitter controversy in both sections of the Republic. It required many months of discussion and deliberation to secure the concurrence of a majority of Congress in their favour. It would be strange if they bad been received with immediate approbation by people and states prejudiced and heated by the exciting con troversies of their representatives. I believe those mea sures to have been required by the circumstances and condition of the country. I believe they were necessary to allay asperities and animosities that were rapidly alienating one section of the country from another, and destroying those fraternal sentiments which are the strongest supports of the constitution. They were adopted in the spirit of conciliation, and for the purpose of conciliation. I believe that a great majority of our fellow-citizens sympathise in that spirit, and that pur pose, and in the main approve, and are prepared in all respects to sustain these enactments. I cannot doubt that the American people, bound together by kindred blood and common traditions, still cherish a paramount regard for the union of their fathers; and that they are ready to rebuke any attempt to violate its integrity, to disturb the compromises on which it is based, or to resist the laws which have been enacted under its authority. The series of measures to which I have alluded are regarded by me as a settlement in principle and snb stance—a final settlement—of the dangerous and exciting subjects which they embraced. Most of these subjects, indeed, are beyond your reach, as the legislation which disposed of them was, in its character, final and irrevo cable. It may be presumed from the opposition which they all encountered, that none of those measures was free from imperfections, hut in their mutual dependence and connexion they formed a system of compromise, the most conciliatory, and best for the entire country, that could be obtained from conflicting sectional interests and opinions. For this reason I recommend your adherence to the adjustment established by those measures, until time and experience shall demonstrate the necessity of further le gislation to guard against evasion or abuse. By that adjustment we have been rescued from the wide and boundless agitation that surrounded us, and have a firm, distinct, and legal ground to rest upon. And the occasion, I trust, will justify me in exhorting my countrymen to rally upon and maintain that ground as the best, it not the only means, of restoring peace and quiet to the country, and maintaining inviolate the in tegrity of the country. CONCLUSION. And now, fellow•citrzsns, I cannot bring this commu nication to a close without invoking you to join me in bumble and devout thanks to the Great Ruler of nations, for the multiplied blessings which He has graciously be stowed upon us. His hand, so often visible in our pre servation, has stayed the pestilence, saved us from foreign wars and domestic disturbances, and scattered plenty throughout the land. Our liberties, relizious and civil, have been maintained, the fountains of knowledge have all been kept open, and means of happiness widely spread and generally enjoyed, greater than have fallen to the lot of any other nation. And, while deeply penetrated with gratitude for the past, let us hope that His all-wise Providence will so guide our councils, as that they shall result in giving satisfac tion to our constituents, securing the peace of the country, and adding new strength to the united govern ment under which we live.

The President's Message had given general satis faction. There are news from Jamaica to the 14th ult. by this arrival, but they merely state in general terms that the ravages of cholera continued to be appalling. In the Senate Mr. Benton had given notice of several Bills granting lands to construct a railroad from St. Louis to San Francisco. Relative to the prospects of the session the Herald remarks— " We are happy to learn from the capital that the best feelings prevail among the Members of both Houses, and that according to present appearances there is no danger of a renewal of the exciting scenes which characterised the last session. This can be accounted for by the fact that during the recess the members of both Houses have had an opportunity of consulting with their constituents, and informing themselves of the sen timents of the mass of the people throughout the whole country. They have discovered that they are pleased with the adjustment made at the last session, and opposed to further agitation. We reminded them frequently during the last session that in not coming to a conclu sion on the exciting subjects which engaged their at tention they were acting counter to the wishes of those who elevated them to office. They may have discovered that such was the case, and that while a storm raged in Washington the rest of the country was comparatively calm." We learn from South Carolina that the Legislature had resolutions under discussion, declaring their determination not to elect United States' Senators to fill vacancies, and instructing Senator Butler, and the representatives of the State, not to take their seats in Congress ; also, a resolution instructing a committee to report a Bill of non-intercourse with all States that throw obstacles in the way of the enforcement of the Fugitive Slave-law ; and another, with a long preamble of grievances, declaring that, in the judgment of the Legislature, secession was the proper remedy, and that South Carolina, sooner than submit to the aggressions of the Federal Con gress, will interpose her own sovereignty to shield her citizens from future outrages and wrongs at every hazard. The Governor of Virginia, in his message to the Legislature, says— " Virginia, and I think, all the slave-holding States, can end ought calmly, but explicitly, declare that the repeal of the Fugitive Slave-law, or any essential modi fication of it, is a mutual repeal of the Union. The faith ful execution of this law is, in my judgment, the only means now left by which the Union can be preserved with honour to ourselves and peace to the country." He also says— " That a declaration on the part of the South will give strength and great moral weight to the Conserva tive patriots of the North, now struggling for the con stitution and for the supremacy of the law; who are, in truth, fighting the battle of the Union. There were never more important trusts committed to the hands of any man. Their triumph is the victory of order over anarchy, of peace over bloodshed and fire. Their defeat is the knell of the Union, for if the fanatics of the North come into the halls of Congress with power to control the action of it, a few years only will elapse before they throw away every appearance of restraint, and abolish slavery in the States—with the alternative presented to us of submitting to the action or to a dissolution of the Union. There could not be one voice of the many thou sands who would not shed their blood, surely, after the sacrifices the South has made, but would say that it is but asking little when she demands of Congress to be faithful to the pledges it has given. and of the non-slave holding; States to abide by the constitution of the country and the laws made declaratory of its obligations." Advices from St. Domingo City to Novmher 2d, state that through the intervention of the English and Americans a treaty of peace has been concluded be tween the Dominicans and Haytiens. There had been some bribk fighting between the contending parties previous to the arrangements, but no serious losses on either side. Au English man-of-war was in the port during the negotiation of the treaty. The remaining prisoners connected with the Cuban expedition have been released. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, DEc. 4. EXCHANGE.—We have to report a large business in sterling, French and Bremen bills, but little on the other places for want of drawers; prices ranged low in the beginning, but closed firm at our highest quotations. The principal sales which ha►e taken place were—on Londan, at 9i to 9k per cent. premium; Paris, sf. Bic. to sf. 20c ; Antwerp, sf. 184 c. to sf. 20c.; Amsterdam, 41 to 41i; Ilamburgh, 36k to 36i; and Bremen, 79ic. to 791 c. Cotton—Since the departure of the last steamer the market has declined about one quarter of a cent, conse quent upon the unexpectedly unfavourable advices from abroad, per Europa. Since our last, there has been but little spirit exhibited in the buying, but we have no further change to note in prices. The receipts of cotton at all the shipping ports are 454,481 bales, against 501,460 to the same dates last year—a decrease this sea son of 46,979 bales. The total foreign export this year is 89,243 bales more than last, say 69,953 bales increase to Great Britain, 14,063 increase to France, 3,896 increase to the North of Europe, and 1,331 in crease to other foreign ports. The shipment from south ern to northern ports are 31,827 bales less this season than last; and there is a decrease in stock of 79,422 bales.

Old is nominal at 70c. for round yellow, and 66c. to 68c. for Western mixed. Tobacco—The market for Kentucky, owing to the ad vanced state of the season, the accounts from abroad, and the ruling high prices, though firm, has become inactive, with more disposition to sell than buy. The sales include 100 hogsheads Kentucky, at 94c. to lOic.; 50 bales Ha vannah, 45c.; 44 cases Florida, 20c. to 40c., four months; 335 bales Segue, 80 Mayaree, 31 Havanna!), 275 Ba racoa, and 72 St. Jago on terms we did not learn.

Higher prices are of course now asked, but the market is for the time being unsettled. Manufactured remains quiet but firm. The importations fur the month of November were-1,596 bales Havannsh, 1,510 ditto Cuba, 516 ditto St. Domingo, 200 ditto Yara, 172 ditto Costa Rica, 1,048 cases Florida, and about 500 ditto seed leaf.

Sir,—A correspondent of the Examiner, noticing the appointment of the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Westminster and Bishop of Southwark, suggests that the Established Church should appoint Bishops to the same sees, and regrets that such a step to ex tend the efficiency of the Establishment bad not been sooner taken. This would certainly be one way of raising the question of the legality of the titles, and the same act, if additional episcopal supervision is re quired in the metropolis, would supply it. The same might be said of the Bishopric of Hex ham, which, after a lapse of a thousand years, has re-appeared in the person of a Roman Catholic prelate. With the exception I shall notice afterwards, there are fewer Bishops in the north of England than there were in the time of the Heptarchy. The province of York represents the ancient Saxon kingdom of North-humbria, and in the seventh and eighth centuries, besides the Arch bishop of York, there were two other bishops there, namely the Bishops of Hexham and Lindisfarne. The first see was merged in that of York in the beginning of the ninth century, and the second was transferred to Durham at the end of the tenth cen tury. In 1113 a bishop's see was erected at Carlisle, and in 1541 a second see at Chester, but they are so far out of this district that they do not affect the main ques tion. From Darlington to Berwick-on-Tweed, both in the diocese of Durham, is about 117 miles ; and the population of Northumberland and Durham in 1841. was 575,000. So little elasticity has the Church shown, as far as episcopal supervision is concerned, that the Bishop of Durham has the same, or nearly the same, territory in the reign of Queen Victoria that he had in the reign of Edward the Confessor. The Church seems not to heed that the Roman fort or the Norman castle has become a populous town, that the barren moors and desolate glens have been by the march of science and the increase of wealth converted into hives of miners, colliers, and craftsmen, that the rugged coast and sheltered creeks are now alike the havens which shelter a navy and the warehouses which store the products of all parts of the world. I recol • lect, in my younger days, when the arrival of the Bishop of Durham in Newcastle excited almost as much sensatio❑ as the late visit of her Majesty. Bishop Barrington, from age, and Bishop Van Mil dert, from ill health, seldom visited the northern half of their diocese ; and though the present venerable prelate has made us more familiar with the presence of our diocesan, there are ample room and ample funds for the erection of another see out of the still princely diocese of Durham. Nowhere could it be seated more appropriately than at Hexham, and the advisers of the Pope have been quite aware of this when they have endeavoured to seize for the Romish bishop the prestige conferred by the learning and piety of the early Bishops of Hexham, who were among the first founders of Christianity in Britain. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, HALGUTSTAD. Newcastle-on-Tyne, Dec. 13. WRECK of the FRENCH SHIP LA MEUSE On Wednesday night, the 4th instant, a little be fore seven o'clock, the French full-rigged ship La Meuse, of and for Havre from Calcutta, was wrecked at Genver, a rocky coast between the Land's-end and Cape Cornwall. In March, 1849, she left Havre, under the com mand of Captain Hauvet, for San Francisco, with pazsengers, touching at Lima on their route. Ar riving in the Californian region of gold, thoy disem barked their passengers, but their merchandise found a glutted market, whilst there was no freight obtain able at any rate. From San Francisco La Meuse wended her way "a seeking" to Valparaiso, the Sandwich Islands, Manilla, through the Chinese Seas, Singapore, and then to Calcutta, where at length she procured a full cargo of general mer chandise, such as sugar, saltpetre, coffee, indigo, lac dye, shellac, cotton, hides, safflower, &c., for Havre. Soon after quitting Calcutta, in a severe gale of wind, the crew were forced to throw overboard a portion of the cargo to ease the ship. On Tuesday, the 3d instant, they made Scilly, which they found them selves unable to pass to the southward of. On the following day from a fresh gale it fell to almost a calm, and being to the northward of the islands, they nearly drifted foul of the Seven Stones light-ship. They then, on the breeze springing up, shaped their course up Channel, but it being the period of spring tides, the strength and peculiar sets of the cur rents were not sufficiently allowed for, and when the crew thought themselves to the eastward of, and consequently round, the Longships, the ship was already to the northward and westward, and from the thick state of the weather she was actually in the breakers before the land was seen. About six o'clock at night she struck a sunken rock off the Land's end, and in about another half-hour was fast on the shore in Genver beach, happily with an ebbing tide. They showed lights, which are said to have been seen by some fishermen, but at all events no notice appears to have been taken of their signals. At ten o'clock the crew got over the side, and finding that the hull had been bilged, and was not likely to stand the violence of the next floud, they got out most of their own personal effects, and carried them above highwater-mark, and so they were fully occupied until about seven o'clock the next morning (Thurs day), when some of the neighbouring peasantry in formed the crew of the Coast Guard station at Sennen cove. Help was then availed of, an express dis patched for Mr. Pearce, the French Consul for the district, and for Captain Davies, the inspecting com mander of the Coast Guard. They were both on the spot as quickly as possible, and the measures taken, as well in the salvage of the property as in guarding effectively the coast, have been admirable. We believe that plunder has been pre vented, and a large amount of property salved, and this is entirely owing to the harmony existing be tween the consular and Coast Guard chiefs. We hail this as a harbinger of a change for the better. We understand that the captain has been uncommonly surprised and gratified at seeing himself and property cared for by the personal superintendence of his consul and her Majesty's commander of the district. At one time we counted more than 300 men, and 70 carts, waggons, and horses, occupied in the salvage, all without the least confusion, all protected by the Coast Guard from being interfered with. The goods salved consist of portions of all the articles we have already enumerated, except sugar and saltpetre. The officers of her Majesty's Customs, :who were present on duty, assisted not only in the protection of the revenue but also in the preservation of order. One life was unhappily lost, a seaman of Roscoff, called Charles Abalait, who had been sent home ill from the hospital by the French consul at Calcutta. He re fused to quit the ship with the others on the night of the wreck, and before daybreak of the following morn ing the hull was scattered in fragments on the rocks. —Cornwall Gazette. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. ATROCIOUS MURDER OF A PRIZE CREW ON THE COAST OF AFRICA.—We have received the following from a private correspondent:—" A letter has been re ceived from the Phamix screw sloop, Commander Wode house, on the coast, acquainting an old man in Hamp shire with the death of his son, under the following cir cumstances:—About six weeks previous to the 3d of October (the date of the letter) a boat, belonging to the Phoenix, captured a small craft, with forty slaves on hoard, in the river Congo. The gunner and three meu (one of whom was the old man's son) were put on board to take the slaver to the Placeaix. then lying of the mouth of the river. On the same night the slaver's crew rose on them, killed them all and threw them into the river, the vessel then making her escape. The account does not say how many of the slaver's crew were left on board, or whether their arms bad been taken away, or whether the four men were properly armed. THE COMPTROLLERSHIP OF THE VICTUALLING DB PARTMENT.—We believe that the appointment of Mr. Grant to succeed Mr. Meek as comptroller of the vic tualling and transport departments at Somerset Holl4e has been formally made. Mr. Meek, who now retires from this post, has been 53 years in active service, at home and abroad, and on quitting the onerous duties of his responsible situation we are quite sure he will enjoy, with a liberal superanuation, the high personal esteem of those (superior and subordinate) with whom he has been for so many years associated in the public service. In repeating our hope that with a new comptroller, a gentleman who has distinguished himself in numerous ways by various inventions and improvements in the victualling department, this branch of the service will undergo revision and reform, we by no means desired to cast the slightest personal reflection on the late comp troller. It is reported that Mr. Laws, chief clerk at Devon port, will succeed Mr. Pinhorn at Woolwich. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AT DEVONPORT.—During the last few days this port has been visited by s succes sion of violent gales, accompanied by thunder and lightning, and we regret to state that on Monday after noon, while a shore boat belonging to a man of the name of Bartlett, with seven passengers, chiefly women, was attempting to leave Mutton Cove, for the purpose of proceeding to her Majesty's ship Albion in the Sound, she—owing to some bad management, and the confusion that naturally prevailed during the act of making sail— capsized, and althouth within a few yards of the shore, the steersman, a sailor belonging to the ship, was unfor tunately drowned. The females (among whom was this man's wife) were fortunately saved. The weather has been so tempestuous that any communication with the men-of-war in the Sound and Barnpool, consisting of her Majesty's ships Albion, Indefatigable, and Bellerophon, has been attended with considerable danger. DESTINATION OF THE LOCUST STEAM-VESSEL.—WC are enabled to confirm our previous announcement that the Locust steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Curtis, fitted out at Woolwich, is ordered to proceed to the south-east coast of America station, to be under the command-in-chief of Rear-Admiral Reynolds, C.B. PORTSMOUTH, TUEBDAY.—The Phaeton, 50, Captain G. Elliot, remains at Spithead weather-bound, together with the Hogue, 60, Captain Macdougall. This morning as a boat was going off to one of these ships a squall capsized her when off the Platform bat tery and immersed those on board for some time. Their dangerous condition was fortunately descried in time by the crew cf a cutter working out, which towed a num ber of boats to her assistance, whereby the drowning men were succoured. An official trial was made yesterday in the presence of the Commander-in-Chief and a party of other officers of the efficacy of Lieutenant Seccombe's plan for laying out cables from boats. Captain Sir Henry Blackwood, of the Vengeance, 84, was the umpire. The trial was a very successful one, and exhibited the capabilities of the invention most amply; indeed, it was declared so imple that one man could with ease check or veer link by link. Her Majesty's steam-yachts Fairy end Elfin and the steam-vessels Urgent and Echo hare been removed from the steam-basin to-day. The Amphitrite, 24, will be removed from the dock, and taken into the ship-basin to-morrow. THE SQUADRON OF EYOLUTION. Lisbon, Dec. 9. Most of the ships arc refitting and setting up their rigging. The ships' companies have had leave granted them The Encounter arrived on Sundsy last with bread and other stores from Gibraltar. She was ordered to supply the Leander with as much bread as she could stow, and the result is that the carries in its proper place three weeks' consumption more than the Arethusa; this ship stows more than the Phaeton. The Retribu tion is daily expected. It is intended the marines of the squadron and field-pieces shall land for exercise ;this week should the weather parmit.

The Princess Alice Dover mail steam-packet was taken out of the basin to-day, and as soon as the ship wrights have done with her she will return to Dover to resume her duties on that station. The Garland Dover mail-packet, Lieutenant-Com mander Wylde, was taken out of the dock to-day, hav ing had her defects made good. She was expected to kayo tomorrow again for Dover, but that is now doubt ful, as they are making a new wrought-iron frame-head for her engines at the factory, and she may be detained to have it put on board. CONVICTS FOR WESTERN AUSTRALIA. The Mermaid, Mr. Alexander Kilroy, surgeon-super intendent, and Mr. J. P. Anderson, master, has arrived at the moorings opposite the Royal Arsenal, to take on board male convicts for Western Australia, and will call at Cowes on her passage out—it is supposed, to take juvenil.s from Parkhurst Prison for the same destina tion, where they will have free tickets granted to them.

DEPARTURE OF FEMALE EMIGRANTS.--Yesterday 46 young females, whose ages varied from 16 to 26, left the Emigrants' Home, in Hatton-garden, where they had been domiciled for some weeks past, since their selection from a great number of females who had presented themselves as candidates for emigration to the committee of the " Female Emigration Fund," for which object, it will be in the recol lection of our readers, public subscliptions were a few months since (on the plan suggested by the lion. Sidney Herbert, M.P.) raised to a considerable amount. The number above alluded to were embarked on board the Gentoo, lying in the basin of the London Docks, which will immediately sail for the Cape of Good Hope, where the committee have made every arrangement for their favourable reception on their arrival. MIDLAND UNION RAILWAY.--Creditors have been called in to prove debts under this estate, the liabilities of which ars alleged to anlotint to 80,0094 MYSTERIES OF PEDESTRIANISM. Last week, at the County Court, Liverpool, Searles, the Leeds pedestrian, who walked the thousand miles in a thousand hours, in the grounds of Mrs. Fernyhough, at Tranmere, in the months of September and October last, brought an action to re cover a sum of about 281., being, as he alleged, the balance due to him out of a sum of 501., which he had been promised, provided he really did walk the thou sand miles within the time limited. Mr. Atkinson was for the plaintiff, and Mr. Bretherton for the defendants, Mr. Wm. Fernyhough and his mother. From the evidenoe of Searles it appeared that, in the month of August last, he was introduced by a person named Atkinson to Mr. Wm. Fernyhough, At that time he was in training to walk a thousand miles in a thousand hours; and he was desirous to take 150/. to 1001. that he performed the task, when Mr. Fernyhough said, " I don't know ; but I think I can get the money on." The next question was, the amount that he was to receive for performing the task, and at last it was agreed that he was to have 501. if he won, and nothing if he lost. There was also the promise of a public-house for him in case he won. The sum of 2d. was charged for ad mittance to the ground, the whole of which, after payment of the expenses, went to the Fer n y h oug h s. During the progress of walking he drew upon Mrs. Fernyhough to the extent of 21/. 55.; and at the termination of his undertaking he was offered 2/. 103., and then 51. Mr. S. Willoughby, how ever, made up the latter amount to 10/. The money received at the gate was stated to have amounted to 211/. 1 9 3. 7d. After other witnesses had been ex amined in corroboration of the plaintiff's evidence, Mr. Bretherton called Mr. W. Fernyhough, who stated that Searles certainly did ask 50/., but agreed to take 201. On cross-examination he admitted that the advertised match was all humbug, there not being a wager of one farthing upon the event. Altogether the plaintiff had received 21Z. 10s., and 10/. from Mr. Willoughby. The latter gentle man was next called, and he stated that the agreement was for the sum of 201.—Mr. Atkinson handed in Mr. Fernyhough's account of 27/. 10s. against Searles, and asked how it was that he should have been advanced 27/. 10s. before he completed his task if he was only to receive 20/. in case he had really finished it?—Mr. Harden took this view of the case, and gave a verdict for the plaintiff for the sum claimed. CO-OPERATION OF THE WIFE.—No man ever prospered in the world without the co-operation of his wife. If she unites in mutual endeavours, or rewards his labours with an endearing smile, with what confidence will he resort to his merchandise or his farm, fly over lands, sail upon seas, meet difficulty and encounter danger, if he knows that he is not spending his strength in vain, but that his labour will be rewarded by the sweets of home! Solicitude and disappointment enter the history of every man's life, and he is hut half provided for his voyage who finds but an as sociate for happy hours, while for his months of darkness and distress no sympathising partner is prepared.—American Paper. IRELAND. THE LIMERICK COUNTY ELECTION. DUBLIN, MONDAY EVENING —Oa Saturday night the High Sheriff declared J. Wyndham Gould, Esq., duly elected as a representative of the county of Limerick. The numbers at the close of the poll were : —Goold, 239; Dickson, 199 ; Ryan, 128. A fracas occurred bat ween Mr. O'Donnell, agent to Captain Dickson, and Mr. Lenehan, proprietor of the Reporter newspaper. The former demanded an apology for some severe strictures against him, which had appeared in the Examiner. " I cannot do this," replied the journalist, "as I have no connexion with that paper." " Then take this," responded the man of law, giving Lenehan a blow with his clenched fist in the right eye, which sent him headloiag amongst the poll books. The High Sheriff arrested O'Donnell, against whom Lenehan swore information, and a trial will ensue. The Limerick Chronicle says :—" Mr. Christopher D. Carleton, of Delgany, Wicklow, has been watch ing in person the progress of the county election, to see what chance he has himself as candidate in the event of another vacancy. Mr. Carleton is a tenant right man, and had a notion of contesing the city also, but has withdrawn in favour of his friend Cul. Sir Charles O'Donnell."
