ADDRESSES TO THE LATE GOVERNOR. On Thursday the Members of his Majesty's Council waited on his Excellency Colonel Ready, with the following Address, on his retiring from the Administration of the Government. TO HIS EXCELLENCY COLONEL JOHN READY, LATE LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR OF PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND. THE ADDRESS OF THE MEMBERS OF HIS MAJESTY'S COUNCIL. SlR,—His Majesty having been pleased to relieve your Excellency i❑ the Administration of the Government of this island, we the Members of his Majesty's Council avail ourselves of the occasion to give expression to those senti ments of high respect and esteem which we entertain for your Excellency's public and private character. In our intimate connection with your Excellency, we have had many and frequent opportunities of witnessing your unceasing anxiety to promote the best interests of a people whose welfare had been committed to your charge, and the success of your exertions is fully attested, by the present happy, prosperous, and tranquil state of the colony. Among the various objects which will bear lasting tes timony to the benefits which have resulted from your Ex cellency's Administration, we may name the rapid ad vancement of our agriculture, the highly improved state of our roads, for both which we are mainly indebted to your Excellency's unwearied personal exertion., and the salutary measures adopted for the diffusion of education. The kindness and urbanity which we have invariably experienced in our personal intercourse with your Excel lency will be long and gratefully remembered ; and whether it be the will of his Majesty to require the aid of your valuable services in some higher department, or that you may seek a relaxation from public labours in the retirement of private life, we beg to assure you, that the most affectionate attachment and rtgard of his Majesty's Council of Prince Edward Island will ever at'end you. In thus bidding you farewell, we must request that your Excellency will be pleased to signify to Miss Ready, whose amiable qualities have so deservedly endeared her to us all, and in whom this society has to regret the loss of one of its brightest ornaments, our best and heartfelt wishes for her health and happiness, and to express to her, on our behalf, the high interest we shall ever take in her future welfare. Wishing you a safe and prosperous voyage on your re turn to the soother country. We have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient and very humble servants, E. J. JARVIS, President. a WRIGHT. A. LANE. T. H. HAVILAND. R. HODGSON. Members of his Majesty's Council. Charlotte Town, Oct. 6, On Thursday a deputation of the inhabitants of Charlotte Town, consisting of John Breclien, Daniel Hodgson, Paul Mabey, William Cullen, and George Dalrymple, Esqrs, waited upon his Excellency Co lonel Ready with the following Address, agreed upon at the town meeting on the 30th ult.— TO HIS EXCEMENCY COLONEL JOHN READY, &c. &c. May it please your Excellency, We, the Magistrates, Merchants, and Inhabitant House holders of Charlotte Town and its vicinity, in a town meet ing assembled, deeply impressed with a sense of the happiness we have enjoyed under your Excellency's administration, and of your unwearied diligence and zeal in the discharge of the important public duties confided to your care, beg leave to tender our grateful and heartfelt acknowledgments on your retiring from the situation which you have so honourably and usefully filled. It is due to your Excellency to state, that a very re markable improvement has taken place in the circum stances and condition of the country since your first arrival amongst us. Order and regularity have been introduced into our financial system. Large sums have been ex pended in the erection of wharfs, bridges, and other works of public utility, and in facilitating internal com munication by means of excellent highways. District schools have been established even in the most remote settlements, which have done infinite good in disseminat ing the elements of useful learning among the rural po pulation, and an advance has been made towards securing for our children the benefits of the higher branches of knowledge, by making provision for the establishment of a seminary of classical learning, upon a liberal and stable foundation. Societies Lave been instituted, and public bounty extended for the encouragement of agriculture— and in every branch of rural economy the most marked improvement has been manifested. We do willing homage to the wisdom of that policy under which so much practical good has been accomplished. But we rest not here. Under the protecting influence of your Excellency's Government every loan could look forward with confi dence to enjoy the fruits of his industry in security and peace. In the fullest enjoyment of our civil rights we have learnt from your Excellency's example to regard with undiminished reverence the laws and institutions of our country, and to prize as the first of earthly blessings our high privileges as freemen and British subjects. We are aware it will prove to you, Sir, a gratifying task, to convey to his Majesty the sentiments of loyalty and affection which we entertain for his Royal person and Government. And now, when the bands which have so long unit'd us are about to be severed for ever, deign, Sir, to aco pt tbil free will offering of our unalterable regard. May the .; . . • Lc..

(Signed) WM. MACLEAN, Secretary. The Paris express mentions that the SULTAN has declared war against the Paella of EGYPT, and that it was currently reported in Paris on Wednesday that the formal refusal of Austria to ratify the 24 articles, had reached the Prussian Embassy the preceding day. The following were the prices of the Funds on Wednesday :--- FRENCH FUNDS.—PARI9, JAN. 11.—Five per Cents. opened at 94f. 50c., closed at 93f. 20c. ; Three per Cents., opened at (41, 35c., closed at 63f. ; Bank Actions, 1,595 f.; ente de Naples, opened at 751. 50c., closed at 75f. ; Royal Spanish Loan, 72 ; Rente Perpetuelle d'Espagne, opened at 52;.i, closed at 51K: ; Haytian Loan, 240 f —Exchange on London, one month, paper, 25f. 40c. ; money, 25f. 35c. ; three months, money, 25f. 20e. ; paper, 25f. 2.5 c. The following are extracts from Hamburg and German Papers received this day. According to these it seems that the Sublime Porte, as well as the Pacha of EGYPT, are making the most active preparations for war : STOCKHOLM, DEc. 27.—Between the 6th and 7th instant there were again six persons attacked by the cholera, one of whom died. The exportation of iron from Gottenburgh last year was 167,000 ship lbs., the greatest that we ever remem ber. But the fall of our course of exchange excites great apprehensions of future disadvantages. PETERSBURGET, Dxc. 247—As the Mahometans in Tauris consider a false oath to be allowable in law-suits with Christians, the Mufti of Tauris has drawn up an exhortation respecting this error, which, by order of the Senate, is to be read in the tribunals of the Mahometans, whenever persons of that religion are to appear, and be sworn as witnesses in law-suits either between Mahometans and Christians, or between Christians only. BERLIN, JAN. 4.—The Journal of Odessa, gives the following article from Constantinople, dated Nov. 29 : " Five or six Austrian ships, which were hired by the Turkish Government and sailed to Alexandria, to take in cargoes of corn and bring them to Constantinople, have returned to this port, some of them quite empty, others with half or a third part of their cargo. The Captains of these vessels say, that the Pacha of Egypt refused to let them have cargoes, as soon as he had positive informatio❑ that the Capitan Pasha's fleet had left Rhodes to re turn to Constantinople. Since the breach between the Ottoman Porte and the Pacha of Egypt, the Tartars from Alexandria have ceased to arrive here. Great exertions are making in the arsenal of Constantinople ; all the men of war are being repaired with the greatest expe dition. All the caulkers and carpenters are employed in the arsenal, and when merchant-ships want them scarcely one is to be had. Several ships, laden with lemons, oranges, and other fruit, are at anchor in the port, and have been waiting this fortnight for a south wind to pro ceed to the Black Sea." VIENNA, DEC. 28.—The great disasters which, dur ing the last year, afflicted the eastern provinces of the empire in particular, now begin to be very painfully felt. The great landowners in those provinces especially are sufferers, and as most of them are more or less in debt, they are now unable to pay the interest due. Among them Prince Esterhazy, the greatest landowner in the whole kingdom, perhaps in all Europe, is spoken of. So much is certain, that on the mere report that the interest due at the expi ration of the quarter will not be paid, the bonds in ques tion have fallen 10 per cent. Though not noted in the Exchange list, a great deal of business is done in them in our stock market, and they are generally only about 10 per cent. below the Five per Cent. Metalliquee. They are now to be had at 60 per cent. The bond. of Prince Strhremberg have in like manner fallen to 30 per cent. THORN, Dac. 28.—Letters from Warsaw positively affirm that the University will be transferred to Grodno ; only the medical school is not to be included in this mea sure, and will be opened soon after the new year. HAMBURG—CHOLERA. New cases. Recoveries. Deaths. From Jan. 4 to 6 Remain 9 patients. HAMBURG, JAN. 6. —.I3ORSEN HALLE, HALF-PAST Two.—During the past week the corn market has been very inanimate.

The Porte believes, at least it endeavours to make the people believe, that the expedition of the Pacha is founded merely on a private quarrel between him and Abdallah Pacha, of Syria. On the 2d a firman was published, strictly enjoining the two Pachas to submit to the commands of the Porte. But the latest accounts from Egypt afford little prospect of success to the endeavours of the Porte to reduce the Vice roy to obedience. The military preparations are more active than ever, and the Vi cero y h as madeim mense sales of cotton at a loss of 25 per cent. to fill his treasury, and every thing indicates that he ex pects a long contest. But here, ton, the armaments are very active, and it is thought the fleet will be ready for sea by the Ist of March. The coast of Egypt will pro bably he declared in a state of blockade. Whether the maritime Powers will recognise it is a question. The Grand Vizier, since the taking of Scutari, is gone to Mo natter. Probably military operations have ceased for this year in that part of the Ottoman empire. In spring the campaign against Bosnia will begin ; that is, if the Porte should then be able to divide its forces. Mustapha Pacha of Scutari has not yet arrived here. Until the sittings of the Bristol Court-martial shall have terminated, it would be highly im proper to comment on the evidence which has been hitherto adduced against Colonel BRERETON. The members of the Court martial will be the judges of the weight of that evidence, when completed ; but whilst we admit it to be no part of the duty of a Journal to en croach upon the office of Judge Advocate- General, we take leave, with Mr. ROBERT GRANT'S permission, to hazard a few words on the relative duties of Magistrates and Military Officers. It is the business of the Magistracy, to whom the King's peace, for a particular district, is con fided, to provide and maintain an adequate civil force for the suppression of popular tumults. The Magistrates ought to have their eyes about them, and to vary the amount of their consta bulary forces according to the degree of agi tation prevalent generally, or in their im mediate neighbourhood. The Magistrates ought to beware of showing any political bias, which may weaken the public confi dence in their integrity, and should shew no countenance to the political violence of those whom they may happen to have selected as their legal advisers. They should not sanction the introduction of firebrands into their Courts of Justice, under the names of Recorder or other wise ; and when the presence of any such fire brand may have stirred up the elements of con fusion, the Justices ought to act with that firmness, that energy, and that coolness, which are alone able to secure the effectiveness of the civil force at their disposal. Finally, the Justices should remember that it is wholly un constitutional for them to rely upon military aid unless in case of the last and most urgent ne cessity. The Bristol Magistrates are naturally anxious to turn the public reproach away from themselves, and to fasten it upon the Commander of the troops. Possibly the Court-martial may think fit to pass censure upon that Officer ; but people at least ought to have waited before they con demned, without investigation, an Officer of the highest military character, and whose repugnance to shedding the blood of his fellow-citizens, whose conciliatory demeanour, whose considera tion for his troops, and whose humane conduct in general, must always be to himself a matter of satisfactory reflection. It is very easy for Aldermen, who can do no good themselves, to order an Officer to disperse a mob with troops in a state of exhaustion, and whose numbers are so small as to render their action at all events not adequate to the entire restoration of peace ; but a military commandant, without incurring the charge of insubordination to the civil power, may assuredly pause be fore he sends his men upon a forlorn hope for the gratification of an inactive Mayor and Aldermen. It is very easy for those who are not conversant with military discipline and habits, to blame the King's troops, because part of Bristol has been burnt by the mob. But if it can be shown that the troops were insufficient to have accomplished the orders of the Magis strates, and that by attempting to execute them their destruction would have been risked, Co lonel BRERETON'S reluctance may in the end appear less culpable than many have imagined. Without presuming at present to judge this Officer's conduct, we may still say that whatever may be the decision of his Judges, there are circumstances in the transaction which will do his character for personal worth very considerable credit, even if he should not wholly succeed in clearing himself from the accusations. Some further Protocols: have been published respecting the eternal question of Holland and Belgium, for which we have not room to-day. Their bearing will be found fully explained in the Times article, under the head of Public Journals. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

It appeared that it had been always customary and legal for the clerks in the Privy Seal-office to appoint deputies to fill their duties in their absence, until the passing of a late Act of Parliament, which withheld that privilege from persons appointed to that office after the passing of that Act, but reserving the rights of the then existing patentees. The Learned Counsel then read a long correspondence between Lord Durham, Mrs. Fane (the wife of Lieutenant-Colonel Fane), and Mr. Johnstone, relative to the appointment of the latter as deputy to the Lieutenant-Colonel, from which it was evident that Lord Durham objected to Mr. Johnstone's appointment. Last December being the month for Colonel Fane's attendance, Mr. Johnstone attended as his deputy until the sth of that month, when he was ordered to discontinue his attendance, and, upon his in. sisting upon his right, he was turned out by a police constable. Sir J. Scarlett submitted to the Court that the clerks had a perfect right to appoint their own deputies, and that the Lord Privy Seal, in admitting such deputies to exercise the duty of the office of their principals, had no discretion, but was hound to admit them unless there was good cause for the rejection. It was the same as in cases of ordination of clergymen by Bishops, where the Bishops were bound to ordain, unless there was good cause to the contrary. In such cases a mandamus had several times been directed to the Bishops, and the Learned Counsel cited several other cases, and submitted that he had laid a sufficient ground for his motion. The Couwr granted a rule to show cause. All-seeing eye of Heaven watch over your safety, and wherever fate may conduct your steps, whether in the walks of public life or in the bosom of domestic retire ment, permit us to assure you that our best wishes will ever accompany you.

This Court, which is called, to distinguish it from the other parts of the Bankruptcy Court the " Court of Review," sat about an hour this morning to swear in attornies. A notice was posted in the Court for the information of suitors and practitioners, as follows : All petitions in this Court to be entitled thus :—" In the Court of Review—in the matter of —, a bank rupt—to the Right Hon. the Chief Judge, and the other Judges of the Court of Review, the humble petition of," &c. &c. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. This week's arrivals of all descriptions of Grain are small, and of Flour the quantity is mush less than of late. The Wheat trade is rather higher for fine parcels, and other qualities are more firm than of late. Good Malting Barley is rather dearer. Beans, Pease, and Oats maintain their late quotations. There is a little more doing in the Plour trade this week. ARRIVALS. Wheat. Barley. Oats. I Fleur. English Irish 623 1,920 Fareign - brls.

Charleston Papers to the 16th December, Cape of Good Hope to the 6th of October, and Bombay to the 29th of September, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. (From the Charleston Papers.) Letters from Philadelphia of the 6th state that the river was covered with ice, and that it was doubtful if any vessel would get to sea. The Georgetown Gazette of the Bth states that the Potimar was frozen entirely across, and the navigation suspended. The Cape of Good Hope Papers complain of the high price of every description of vegetables. In Cape Town, on the arrival of three vessels in the bay, requiring sup plies, an immediate rise took place of 50 to 100 per cent. These Papers are of little interest. CALCUTTA )MARKETS. THE IMPORTS .-The transactions of the past week pre sent more of detail than that of the preceding, but do not exhibit any improvement in the state of the market. INDlGo.—Prices rather low. It is rumoured that Go vernment will nut purchase. The Opium market is without action, stock-holders being disinclined to sell at loss, and exporters unwilling to hazard purchasing at the prices asked for drugs, namely, 1,750 to 1760 per chest. Malwa produce for the ensuing season estimated at about 14,000 chests, or about the quantity of the season 1829-30. During the last week a report has been prevalent that orders are about to be issued by the Government for a reduction of from twenty to twenty-five per cent. on the sularies of all assistants in the public offices. THE FUNDS. The estafette from Paris this morning brings the French d ee renter lara n , i e o a n r o o f n , e ,a a r n f d ,y a h thezapf o p i e te r cent against lower, a the pae s as Egy t p he t, this trifling war, as some politicians may think it, may turn out otherwise, and entangle some of the European Powers. Russia will glory to see the Porte weakened, and France must have a watchful eye on the operations of the Turks and the Pacha, for the security of their new colony in Africa. As yet we cannot g iv e a correct account of the cause of the fall of the French renter, but we hear that a change of Ministers his taken place in Spain. Consols, which left off yesterday at 83i 84. for the ac count, opened at 83ii, since which they have been done at 834 ; at present they are 83 44 . In the Foreign Market little doing as yet. HALF-PAST ONE. A letter is positively in town of a change in the Spanish Ministry, from which favourable results are anticipated. We hear that the fall in the French Rentes again, of per cent., is owing to the late immense failure of the Cashier of the French Treasury. What be owed to the French Government was a mere trifle ; it is stated that his private debts in speculations amount to several mil lions of francs, which must affect largely several of the Paris speculators. At present we have no further accounts of the political situation of the Continent, but we are creditably informed that the Emperor of Russia's answer was, that what his Ambassador had signed in London might be depended upon, as if he had signed it himself. He has also written in his own hand a letter to the King of Holland on the subject. Consols continue steady at 83,1 buyers, for the account; Belgian 1 discount. We hear that a Mr. Brown dropped down dead at the Bank on receiving his dividend about twelve o'clock. THREE 0 CL OCK Consols for Account, 83i 4.

GERA LD, of Ardenode...—Dublin Freeman'; Journal. CHOLERA AT NEWCASTLE, GATES. HEAD, AND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD. (PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) NEWCAS'T'LE-UPON-TYNE , 11. The account I have to give of the cholera at Newcastle is not quite so favourable to-day. There are 20 new !sties and seven deaths, but there are 16 recoveries ; and there are only 87 cases remaining under treatment. The number becomes daily less. This day week there were 120 left under treatment, in another week I hope there , vlll not be 20. Of the new cases and the deaths reported to-day nearly one-half belong to the township of Byker, tnd a considerable part of the remaining 67 is in that listrict. There have been more cases in the villages up the river tbove Newcastle, particularly in the village and township of Newborn. The interments there have been eo un usually numerous, that I understand the Vicar's gardener, who was employed in preparing the graves, has become abormed and resigned his office ! A meeting of the inhabitants of the parish of Newborn was held yesterday, January 10, pursuant to public notice, at Walbottle, JOSEPH LAMB, Esq., in the Chair, when it was resolved : " Ist. That though the precautionary measures pur sued in this parish have not prevented the approach of cholera, yet the meeting reviews with satisfaction its sana tory proceedings, and trusts, under Divine Providence, they may still tend to lessen the fatality and shorten the duration of the disease in this parish. " 2d. That the meeting repeats its recommendation to the overseers of the respective townships, to continue their particular attention to the cleanliness and comforts of their paupers. a 3d. That the Vicar, churchwardens, and overseers, together with the gentlemen whose names are hereafter mentioned, constitute a Committee, to inquire into and relieve the wants of the industrious poor during the pre sent calamitous visitation. " 4th. That the mode of administering relief be left to the discretion of the Committee; but the meeting strongly recommend that measures be taken for insuring prompt medical assistance, and that in the situations distant from medical aid suitable medicines and apparatus be deposited for cases of urgency. " sth. That for carrying the foregoing resolutions into effect, a subscription be forthwith entered into, and that copies of these resolutions be forwarded to his Grace the Duke of Northumberland and the other landed proprietors of the parish." Upwards of 501. were subscribed at once ; in the list are the names of Lord Rokeby for 101., Joseph Lamb, Esq., 5/., &c. Dr. Macaun, the Medical Commissioner, sent down by Government to succeed Dr. Gibson, has, I am informed, seen the propriety of having all these ♦illages where the cholera at present prevails put down in a separate district report. I presume the earns course will be taken with the villages on the south aide of the Tyne, as Durston, Swell well, lleworth, &c. This will enable the public to see die true state of the country, and let every place bear the pestilential character it deserves, and no more. A Dr. Cobb has just arrived here from London, I think from one of the hospitals, in the hope of seeing some dissections of the bodies of persons who have died of cholera. In this expectation he will be disappointed, for the poor people were so unwilling to allow post mortent examinations of their friends that the idea of it was necessarily abandoned out of respect to their feelings. The report for Gateshead to-day is extremely favourable. There is only one new case and one death, while there are eight recoveries and only twenty-eight cases remaining. Another week, T hope, will almost enable the Board of Health to discontinue their reports. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. The businestryesterday was confined to offers, which averaged as follows : TATTERSALL'S. THE DERBY, 1834 Pi to 1 agst Mr. Dilly's Margrave 10 to 1 agst Lord Exeter's Beiram 11 to 1 agst Lord Chesterfield's Non Compos 11 to 1 agst Lord Exeter's Spencer 15 to 1 agst Lord Exeter's Byzantium 18 to 1 agst Lord Mountcharles's Minster No others mentioned. Nothing done in the Oaks or St. Leger. On the sth inst. the Rev. Wm. ROBERT TAYLOR, B.A. was instituted to the rectory of Town Bar n ngharn, Norfolk, on the presentation of Jonx THURSTON More, Esq., of Town Barningham-hall. We are informed that it has been found ne cessary to inflict the punishment of flogging on a private of the Scots Greys, who had deserted. He was tried last week, and sentenced to receive 300 lashes on Friday. On that morning, however, having expressed great contrition for the offence, and promised good behaviour and strict attention to his duties for the future, the commanding officer, after a severe reprimand, humanely remitted the punishment. In the evening of the same day, regardless of this lenity, be equipped himself in the dress of a ser vant, which he had stolen before his desertion, and went to a public-house in the town, where he got shamefully intoxicated, and afterwards strolled about the streets in that state. Meeting two officers of the regiment, he not only used the most violent and abusive language, demand ing money, and telling them that through their inetru mentality he had been sentenced to be flogged, but struck them. The officers seized him by the collar, and with considerable trouble dragged him to the barracks. The next morning he was again sentenced to receive 300 lashes, and the punishment was forthwith carri,d into effect.— Having received 196 lashes, however, he fainted under it, when the surgeon ordered him to he taken down. Every mart 'oust deplore the necessity of inflicting these punishments, but, in nine cases out of ten, the commanding officer,, we believe, would not have been found so lenient to such an offender. The wretched man has, we understand, been branded with the letter D., and, when well enough, will be drummed out of the regiment.—Brighton Gazette. ANATOMICAL AND PHRENOLOGICAL RE MARKS UPON THE DEFUNCT MALEFACTOR.—Th e body of ELIZA Ross alias COOK, was removed privately on Mon d'', evening from the surgery of Mr. STONY, in Hosier lane, whether it was conveyed on the morning of execution. On the following day Dr. HOLME took a caste of her fea tures, and after that Mr. TusoN, who took those of 13isnor and WILLIAMS, which he intends to publish, took t bust of larger dimensions, in order to show the muscles of the arms, &c. This gentleman is celebrated for his skill in phrenology, is a pupil of the celebrated Seunzns rat, end holds a professional situation in Kiag's College. In the presence of several pupils and others, these gentlemen remarked by way of lecture, upon the phrenological corn parttnents of the cranium, and they pointed out the extent and protuberance of the organs of destructiveness, whereas that of benevolence is excessively diminutive. It was the intention of these gentlemen, or one of them, to have lectured at great length yesterday, but such has been the number of visitors to view the body they have found it impracticable, and the dissecting knife was not put in 'notion until last night, except an incision on the pectoral muscle, and an operation upon one eye while at Mr. STONE'S. The muscles are remarkable for their size and firmness, and her frame so compact, that after the usual course of dissection the pupils will place the body in a state of inasceration, in order to the preservation of a coin plete skeleton. The features appear to have undergone but little change in consequence of her violent death, but the skin is very much discoloured. ATTEMPT TO BREAK OPEN THE CLOO BEEN BRIDEWELL.—The town of Clogheen was thrown into the greatest confusion and alarm yesterday, owing to in attempt made by the prisoners in the Bridewell here (26 in number), confined for the demolition of ABEARN'S house in the open day, to effect their escape. One of them asked for a drink of water, and, when the constable on duty was in the act of giving it to him, all confined in his cell instantly rushed out, and liberated the rest, when they at once overpowered the constables in attendance, and rushed to the outer door, which, however, being locked, retarded their progress. In the mean time, three of the keeper's daughters behaved with the greatest courage, showing the most determined resolution to oppose the rage of these miscreants ; one of these young women, taking up firelock, knocked one of the party down with it, and the remainder of the police coming in at the moment, with fixed bayonets, restored a temporary calm. But, in a short time, a mob outside collected in great numbers, and attempted to scale the rear of the bridewell; and one of them had got on the top of the wall, till a shot from one of the police, which struck his hat, brought him down. The front of the bridewell was now attacked, and several stones thrown, when the police considered it better to re .ire into the bridewell, from whence they presented their arms through the windows; at this time, opportunely-, the Rev.
