He thought what had been said of Mr. Byng was not true, for with his own ears he heard that gentleman pledge him self to go with Mr. Hume to a certain extent.—(Loud laughter, accompanied with busses.) Mr. Pitt was com pelled to retire. Lord DUNBOYNE then addressed the meeting at some length ; the object of his remarks was, that the Reform Bill was merely the means to a desirable end—the freedom and happiness of the people. lie concluded by proposing a resolution to the effect, that the electors view with akin' the probability of the county of Middlesex being repre •nted in the ensuing Parliament by men oppsed , o the interests of the people, or by men opposed to each other on vital questions.

ASSESSED TAXES. The following particulars, with respect to the state of the Markets in prove of interest to our com mercial readers. We are indebted for them to the Asiatic Journal for November : Mr. Biusie moved, as an amendment, fiat the word "alarm" should be erased, and "indignation" substituted, and " attempt" put for " probability." With these alterations the resoluti n was adopted. Mr. SIIOOBRIDGE said Sir John Scott Lillie was op posed to negro emancipation.—(Confusion.) Sir JOHN Scorr LILLIE said, his firrt object was to get rid of slavery at home, before he looked abroad.—(Hcar.) • With respect to negro emancipation, he was of opini,ra that that measure would destroy our colonial commerce, and therefore he could not support it.—(Confu,ion.) Mr. MANsELL, after a long speoch, proposed a string of resolutions in favour of Sir John Scott Lillie, which were seconded by Mr. FITZGERALD, and carried, with but two dissentients. Un ThOrsjaY last a meeting, attended by almost every inhabitant householder of this parish, was holden at the Vestry-room, for the purpose of adopting some strong measures with respect to a surcharge which had recently been made upon the houses by the King's Collector and Surveyor, notwithstanding a Report made by the Local Committee of Survey that the assessment ought to be lowered. At that meeting resolutions were passed to the effect that the surcharge made by the Surveyor of Assessed Taxes, who was a stranger to the relative value of property in the parish, was Vexatious and unjust, after a fair and equitable assessment had been proposed by the Local Asiessors; that a Memorial should be presented to the Lords of the Treasury upon the subject, by Deputation; and that the inhabitants should not pay houst-duty until the result of the Memorial should be known. CALCUTTA, MAY 24.—The late arrivals have caused a temporary falling in some of the principal articles of im• port from Europe. In Piece Goads the sales have not been very extensive, and for some descriptions the demand is very dull : the following are the principal sales during the week :—Jaconet Muslins, 160 pieces at 11-10, 160 pieces at 10, 160 pieces at 9, 160 pieces at 8-10, 160 pieces at 8, and about 1.200 pieces of lower qualities ; Book Muslins (very dull), 200 pieces at 3; Assorted Lap pets, 750 pieces at 3; Cambrics, 700 pieces, of 21 yard, each, at 10 2; 300 pieces common, at 3 ; Lappet Scarfs, 900 pieces, it 1•4:6 and 1.6-3 ; &e. JUNE 6.—The bazaar remains without alteration for the Vetter, and the sales of the week have been small. We cannot quote any description of Cotton Piece Goods that is in demand at rates remunerating to the shipper: the supply has been so 'ong above the consumption, that the market cannot recover itself materially until the native buyers are satisfied that the imports are reasonably reduced. The sales in Twist have not been to great amount, nor at any advance in price. The sales in Woollens have been larger than for 140111 e weeks back, but the rates much as before.

Yesterday afternoon, at five o'clock, a Deputation, con-. smiting of the Rev. Mr. Bowers, Rector ; Mr. Smith, the Senior Churchwarden, and his Colleague in th , it office; th e Overseers ; and several other influential gentlemen in the parish, waited upon Lord Althorp, by appointment, at the Treasury, and were met by the two Honourable Members for Westminster, Sir Francis Burdett and Sir Hohbouse. Mr. Mitford, the Chairman of the Blitz' of TAW,. was also present. The Alesnieed, setting forth the grievance of which the parishioners complained; was real to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and it stated in substance the circum stance above-mentioned ; after which one of the Depu tation stated verbally to his Lordship that, in consequence of the very great deterioration of property in houses in the parish within the last fly years, the local assessors, consist ing of a Committee appointed by the parish, had lowered the rates very considerably, and had made their return of the new adjustment to the King's Surveyor, who, however, though fit to disapprove of it, and had made a surcharge, which brought the taxes hack to the old amount of assess ment. This such age many of the inhabitants who had dwelt in the parish their whole life-time, were not only unwilling, but absolutely unable, to pay, owing to the de- pressiou of trade and the great depreciation of their pro perty. When the rate of assessment now insisted upon by the King's surveyor was first imposed, the parish was in a ft iurishing condition, and paid it cheerfully; but they now thought that it should be ameliorated, so as to accord with the serious alteration which their circumstances had Just published, in 2 vols. post Svo. 21s. bds.

A public Cemetery Company has been formed in Birmingham, to be open for the interment of persona o. all religious denominations, who shall be allowed to use their own form of service, and select their own officiating Minister or Teacher. " Arlington," the new novel of Mr. LISTER, (the author of" Granby" and " Herbert Lacy,") which by its peculiar merits has attracted the attention of the Edin burgh and Quarterly Reviewers, is characteri9ed as the picture of a young nobleman, with fine talents and go o d principles, but with a strong tinge of vanity, and no very decided energy of character—just such a being as would be strongly influenced for good or evil by the habits he con tracts, or the society among whom he is thrown. " If," says the Reviewer, " we were asked to say in a word what the plot of his story chiefly turned on, we should be dis posed to answer, false delicacy," and proceeding to give his reason for this opinion, adds that " a minute sketch of the plot would afford no notion of the peculiar merits of Arlington ;' for the charm of the book lies in its details; —in the happy adjustment, easy movement, and graceful finish of the incidents ; the point and natural flow of the dialogues—and the many true and striking remarks with which they Abwind."

RoscoE. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday morning, a party of gentlemen were out shooting at Letheringsett, when a pheasant flew up, and one of them turning round sharp to observe it, his gun resting upon his arm, with the muzzle a little elevated, it came in the direction of one of his companions, Mr. J. COZENS, of London, went off, and lodged its contents in- his head, just below the ear, from the effects of which he died in a few minutes. Not a shadow of blame is attributable to the unfortunate gentleman from whose gun the melancholy accident proceeded. Mrs. COZENS was then upon the road to meet her husband at dinner.—Norwich East Anglian, undergone. The local assessors, men of wealth and probity, the least likely to be affected by the question, had declared, after a careful survey, that a reduction should be made ; and the Deputation prayed relief from the Lords Commis sioners of his Majesty's Treasury. The gentleman who addressed his Lordship begged to mention one fact that must speak strongly in the:r behalf, namely, that the Duke of Bedford, who was proprietor of the greater part of the parish, had lowered his rents in many inst Jnees 30 per cent. Lord ALTHORY, who received the Deputation with great politeness and attention, said he much feared the Government could afford ❑o relief, although be was aware that there was great inequality in the assessments through out the country. Mr. MITFORD, the Chairman of the Board of Taxes, was of opinion that, as the law at present stood, no relief could be afforded. The assessments were regulated by Act of Parliament, and until that law was altered, the King's Surveyor was bound to enbirce the collection. Sir F. ButtbErr —But surely in a case of such peculiar hardship as that complained of by the Deputation, the Lords of the Treasury have at least the power to mitigate the claims. Lord Alain:mr said he was afraid not ; but the best consideration should certainly be given to the subject; and in the meantime he requested that the Deputation would be good enough to furnish him with the particulars of a few of the most striking instances of hardship arising out of the alteration that had taken place in the value of property. "I am aware, said his Lordship, " that there is a great inequality in this species of taxation throughout the country ; and I know also that the system ought to be placed upon a much broader scale. The parishioners, however, may rely upon the matter being very seriously considered by his Majesty's Government." A Gentleman of the Deputation observed, that the pa rishioners had come to a determination not to pay the house-tax until a decisive answer was given to their Me morial ; and he respectfully hoped the answer would be given as speedily as possible. Lord ALTHORr asked, if the parishioners had not a re medy, by appeal to the local commissioners? Mr. YOCKNEY, one of the Deputation, said—" My Lord, I beg to observe, as one of the local commissioners of Lind and Assessed Taxes, that, however desirous we might lie to afford relief, we are prevented, as the law stands, from doing so—at least in several cases. Many of the parties aggrieved hold leases of their houses, who, when those leases were originally granted, were in a pros perous state, and able to pay high rents, and until those Lases have expired, we cannot reduce the amount of the assessment below the original rental, although the houses may be, and I believe are not, worth half the rent at that they are paying for them." Another Gentleman of the Deputation observed—that it was an extraordinary fact, that gentlemen living in the country, and occupying large mansions worth in rental 3001. or 4001. a year, were assessed at the comparatively small suns of 401., while the average amount of assessment of houses in Covent-garden parish was 751. Lord ALTHORP said, he knew that such was the fact, and he could only repeat, that the subject should meet with immediate attention, and an early answer should be for warded to the parishioners. MEMOIRS OF WOMEN CELEBRATED BY TOE POETS.-This very curious work from the same elegant pen as the " Beauties of the Court of Charles II." and the " Memoirs of Female Sovereigns," is equally rich in illustrious names, as in bright and deep reminiscences— for example, Peirarch's Laura, Dante's Beatrice, Chaucer's Philippa Picard, the Earl of Surrey's fair Geraldine (the object of Horace Walpole's ingenious researches), Spencer's Rosalind and Elizabeth, Shakspeare's beautiful enslaver, known by her attributes, though not by her name, Sir Philip Sidney'. Stella, Mary of Scots, Diana of Poictiers, Milton's Wives, Waller's Sacharissa, Swift's Stella and ' Vanessa, Pope's Martha Blount (the theme of the Bowles and Byron controversy), Voltaire's Madame du Chacelet, Burns' " Highland Mary," &c.—not to mention the names of ladies whom our living poets, as Campbell, Wordsworth, Wilson, &c. have " delighted to honour," and to whom graceful and delicate allusio❑ is made in the pages of Mrs. Jameson's work. AFrAIR OF HONOUR.—On Tuesday morn ing, the 23d inst., a hostile meeting took place in a field at Irishtown, near Mountmelick, between a knight of the pestle and mortar and a knight of the goose-quill. The former, we understand, felt quite sick of the affair ere he came to the turf—in a word, he had a great distaste for the powder and bull likely to be administered by his opponent; and it was not until he was fully convinced by his second, that the dose would be prepared without any metallic property, that he submitted to come to the scratch. His opponent, however, was determined to cor rect his errors, and threatened to post his antagonist if the account was not closed forthwith in au honourable way; but on the before-mentioned assurance to 011apod the ground was measured at twelve paces—they fired, and the affair ended in—smokel The seconds (two arch Wags who got up the matter quite in a harmless way), then interfered, and the parties left the ground. We understand the dispute arose about a lady.—Leinster Express. DREADFUL SUICIDE.—Last night an In quest was held in Willis's Poor-house, Lombard-street, Southwark, on the body of Was. BunGIN, aged 60, an inmate of the above institution. On Tuesday morning the deceased got out of a window at the top of the build ing, under pretence of searching for something he had dropped in the gutter. He, however, got upon the pa rapet, and was walking along it, when another man, see ing him in this perilous situation, asked him where he was going to ? He made no reply, but smiled, and went on for a few paces, and then suddenly precipitated himself from the wa►l, and fell with great violence into the paved yard beneath, striking with his fret a pauper who hap pened to be walking at the spot. On examination he was found to be so dreadfully injured, that he died almost in stantly. The unfortunate man, who was much addicted to drinking, had been indisposed for some time prior to the dreadful occurrence. The Jury returned a verdict of REPRESENTATION OF MIDDLESEX. During the last eight or ten days, placards and adver tisements have been issued, calling upon the electors of Middlesex to unite agoinst an " untoward and unseemly coalition forming against the principles of liberty, and rights of the people," having fur its object the ousting of J. Hume, Esq., at the ensuing election. The placards also stated, that " a requisition, most numerously and respectably signed, hid been forwarded to Sir John Scott Lillie, calling upon him to stand between the people and their enemies ; and that he had responded to the call, and had come forward as a candidate for their suffrages." The placard concluded by calling upon the electors to return him, "in conjunction with Mr. Hume." Since the pub lication of these placards, however, Mr. Hume wrote a letter to Sir John Scott Lillie, declining to enter into any coalition with him. Notwithstanding this, a meeting was yesterday convened at Foutaine'v Riding-school, Worship. street, Finsbury-square. W. J. LENTHALL, Esq., a Magistrate for the County, having en called to the Chair, Mr. LEIGHS proceeded to address the meeting, and stated that it had been convened to ascertain whether cer tain rumours were true respecting a coalition between Mr. Byng and Lord Henley, whose sentiments were tv -II known to be hostile to the wishes and liberties of the people. He had occasion to know that Mr. Byng was not acting in that consistent and upright manner with which one gentleman ought to act towards another, but that he had endeavoured to keep in favour both with Lord Henley and Mr. Home, for the sake of getting their split votes, and keep himself at the head of the poth He knew that Mr. Byng had uttered sentiments dir.etly opposite to those of their friend, Mr. Hume.—(No, no.) He should he able to prove every assertion he had made.—(Hear.) He did not care whether Mr. Byng or any of his agents were present or not; to what he advanced he defied a denial.--(Cheers.) On the 10th of October he wrote a letter to Mr. Byng, requesting to know if it was his in tention to stand as a candidate at the ensuing election ? On the 13th of October he received a letter in reply, dated Wrotham-park, to this effect :—" I feel much flattered by your letter, and certainly intend to offer myself for the county, and if elected I shall certainly continue to devote myself to the service of the country, by supporting the Reform of all abuses."—( Hear.) Subsequent to this, lie had an interview with Mr. Byng, for the purpose of as certaining the particular sentiments of that gentleman on great and important questions. Mr. Byng received him very kindly, and on learning his business, candidly said he had no secrets to keep, and therefore should answer all questions most openly,—( Hear.) The speaker then pio ceetied to read from a note-book the following, which he stated was the substance of the conversation which passed between them :—Question.--" The abolition of tithes arid church rates is loudly called for by the people of the United Kingdom, and a thorough Reform of the Esta blished Church; nor is there one dissentient in a hundred opinions on this most important subject. The great and enlightened body of the Dissenters throughout the coun try also demand to be released from the unjust and op pressive burden laid upon them for the sums :rt of a reli gious form of worship they cannot conform to, end to he allowed to pay for the support of their own religion, and that only. You are, no doubt, of opinion that equality in all re ligious matters is demanded alike by the laws of God and every principle of justice ?" Answer.—" With respect to tithes, I certainly shall not vote for their abolition. I think something might be done in order more equally to support the servants of the Church, but Church property is undoubt edly the property of its ministers, and therefore the Legisla• lure have no right to appropriate it to any other purpose. And as to reform in the Church, I think the people have now more reform than will do them good : I, however, shall not object to a better arrangement of pluralities. Every man ought to pay for a regular established church, whether he attends or not; and 1 think without one, no thing but anarchy and confusion would spread." Ques tion.—" The assessed taxes are most oppressive and unjust, being drawn principally from the middle and trading classes." Answer.—" I think the middle classes fancy themselves more aggrieved than they really are. Every roan is taxed according to the number of his windows, and the poor have not a sufficient number of windows to pay any tax ; nor can they who are tradesmen justly complain of paying more than their share ; they have not many windows, while the upper classes of society have a great nullifier, and pay in proporCou to the number. I think a great deal of complaint is made where the cause is not very strong. The Reform Bill, in my opinion, goes quite far enough, and I think the people ought to be satisfied, without agitating any other questions ; let them make good use of that." Question.—" I extremely regret to find your sentiments on these two most important national questions at issue with the wishes and opinions of the great majority of the people ; and will now take the liberty to ask your opinion on another equally important subject,—the corn laws, which have the effect of making bread dear, and which are most bitterly felt by the mechanic and industrious classes as an unjust and highly impolitic burden. Answer.—" With respec to the corn laws, I believe they are a very wise pro• tection to the farmer, and upon the protection of the farmer the well-doing of the tradesman depends." (The answers of Mr. Byng, as thus given, elicited great disappro. bation.) These were questions lie put, and the answers he received ; it was his intention to have put more, but these replies convinced him that more questions were unneces sary. He believed, however, that Mr. Byng did not mean to be quite so plain on that occasion it the questions had not been pushed home, for it had always been the plan of Mr. Byng to " run with the hare and hold with the hounds."—(A cry of " No," followed by applause.) He was ready to face Mr Byng himself before any assembly, and state these things.—(Cheers.) He also asked Mr. Byng about the vote by ballot; Mr. Byng scouted the idea, and called it nonsense."—( Laughter.) He also re probated short Parliaments, and observed, it would " be better to wait to see how the reformed Parliament, as it was called, worked first."—(Laughter.) He re spected Mr. Byng, but he opposed him from principle, anti he doubted not that many of the electors felt as be did, and that they would be loath to discard an old servant; but principle ought to outweigh private esteem at all times.— (Hear, and applause.) He then proceeded to state that tie waited upon Sir John Lillie, and conversed with him on his political sentiments, and found them utterly at variance with those of Mr. Byng, and therefore he deter mined to support him as the coadjutor of Mr. Hume. It the electors returned Mr. Byng with Mr. Hume, they would neutralize bath, anti make the county a nonentity. Mr. WRIGHT, an elector, here called upon the speaker to desist, and to let Sir John Scott Lillie come forward and tell hie own story.—(Hear.) Sir JOHN SCOTT LILLIE begged to say that he was not opposed to Mr. Hume, but was anxious to lend him his support, and to join wi:h him in accomplishing the liberties of the people.—(Hear.) He thought the ques tions before the meeting now were, whether they would elect two Members who would concur in the great sub jects of church reform, assessed taxes, tithes, and others, or whether they would elect two men who would oppose all reform, or whether they would return two men to op• posite principles, and thus neutralize the representation of the county.__( Hear.) He then proceeded to m.ke some remarks upon Lord Henley's plan of church reform, show ing that his Lordship had taken an untenable position, in saying that the church property was unalienable. He had no wish to disturb either of their present Members, it they were satisfied with them ; but if not, he would its himself the honour of coming forward at their call. Mr. WARBURTON, M.P. did not intend to say any thing for or against Mr. Hume, or Sir John Scott Lillie, but simply to declare that Mr. flume was no party to any coalition.—( Hear.) He did not say, support Mr. Hume or Sir John Scott Lillie, but he would say, oppose Lord Henley.—(Cheers.) He would tell them why-- because of his Lordship's new plan of reform, of calling to gether a convocation of the clergy, which had not taken place these 130 years.—(bear, hear.) At a public din ner it was said, that Dr. Parr refused to drink the toast of " Church and State," alleging that it meant church without religion, and state without liberty.—(Hear, and applause.) He (Mr. W ar b urton ) was very much of the same opinion.—(Cheers.) He concluded by observing that Lord Henley and Mr. Hume were decidedly opposed in principle, and he would have the electors themselves to decide what Members were worthy of their suffrages. Mr. PITT came forward to vindicate the conduct of Mr Byng, but the meeting would not hear him, until Lord DUNBOYNE entreated that he might be indulged with a bearing. Mr. Par then proceeded to say, that Mr. Byni, at a The object of this expeditieu will be to penetrate across the territories of the Huds,h's B:y Cempaoy to the shores of the Arctic Sea, primarily to rescue, or at leist ascer tain the fate of Captain 11 , 445, it is well kite en. has ' not been heard of since be raided io P steam-hoat three years ago, with the view of thus of cling a mull , - west oassage to the Pacific ; and, suboriiinate to this, t, ex tend our knowledge of those ahoris—iii p ticidar, to en deavour to fill up the in erval betaa,u C:pe Turnacain (the eastern limit ot Sir John Fra n's oiseoveries) and th e Straits of the .4.f a cia and Fury, s her., Sir E :!sard Parry was stopped by the ice when attempriog trate to the westward aloog the ec.ast; or should these prove, as some imagii.e, merely the entrance ot an inlet, to determine where else is siatated the north-eastern ex tremity of the American continent. The hopes entertained by Captain ROSS'ti friends that he and his companions are still alive, and may be extri sated from their critical position by efforts yet made for t heir relief, are founded, pal tly on the extent of his pre parations, which were calculated to meet his wants for three years—partly on the amount of sores which, it is presumed, he would find untouched in the •aneelt of :he Fury, abandoned by Sir Edward Parry in 1825, and partly on the following account (given by fl,naroe, and quoted by Mr. Birrow in his " Ci.ronological History of Arctic Voyages," pp. 276.8) of the fate of the crews of two Hudson Bay vessels who were cast un shore on Marble Island in 1719, and of whom it was ascertained, in 1769, that some survived for newly three years. " In the summer of 1769 (says Mr. Hearne, Introd. p. xxxi.), while we were prosecuting the fi•iiery, we sacs , several Esquimaux at this new harbour, and seeing one or two of them greatly advanced in years, our curiosity was excited to ask them some questions concerning the above ship and sloop, which we were the better enab'ed to do by be assistance of an E quitnaux, who was then in the Company's service as a linguist, and annually sailed in one of their vessels in that character. The account which we received from them was full, clear, and unreserved, arid the sum of it was to the following purport : " When the vessels arrived at this place (Marble Island) it was very late in the fall, and, on getting them into the hit - hour, the largest received much damage ; but, on being fairly in, the English began to build the house, their num her at that time seeming to la:! about fifty. As soon as the ice permitted, in the following summer, 1720, the Esquimaux paid them another visit, by which time the nuin her of the English was very greatly reduced, and those that were living seemed very unhealthy. According to the account given by the Esquimau', they were then very bu sily employed, hut about what they could not easily de scribe; probably in lengthening the long-boat, for, at a lung distance from the house, there was now lying a great quantity of oak chips, which had been made most assuredly by carpenters. A sickness and famine occasioned such havoc among the English that by the setting in of the second winter their number was reduced to 20. That winter, 1720, s ime of the E'quimaux took up their abode on the opposite side of the harbour to that on which the English had built their houses, and frequently supplied them with such provisions as they had, which chiefly consisted of whale's blubber, seal's flesh, and train oil. When the spring advanced, the Esquimau' went to the continent, sad on their visiting Marble Island again, in the summer of 1721, they only found five of the English alive ; and these were in such distress for provisions, that they eagerly eat the seal's flesh, and whale's blubber quite raw as they purchased it from the natives. Timis disordered them so much that three of them died in a few days, and the other two, though very weak, made a shift to bury them. These two survived many days after the rest, arid frequently went to the top of an adjacent rock, and earnestly looked to the south and east, as if in expectation of some vessels coming to their relief. After continuing there a c thsiderable time, and nothing appearing in sight, they sat dawn close together, and wept bitterly. At length one of the two died, and the other's strength was so far ex hausted that he fell down, and died also in attempting to dig a grave for his companion. Toe skulls and other large bones of these two trier] are now lying above ground close to the house. The longest liver was, according to the Es quimau' account, always employed in working iron into implements for them ; probably he was tie artnourer or smith. If, then (it is argued), severe as the suff.rings of these poor people were, they could prolong existence at ala s for nearly three years on Marble Island, which is a hare gra nite rock, with scarcely auy local resources whatever, is it not probable that Captain Rosa's difficulties, even sup posing that he was wrecked the first year of his de p irture, may not yet have been overwhelming ? If they could thus survive, also, with only a moderate stock of .applies in their ships, fitted out as these necessarily were, after the manner of the last century, may not his party tie still furnished amply in comparison? and even the character of the country seems to require that ewe search should be made for them—that nine.een British seamen, embarked in the most disizre-estediy spirited enterprise of the day, should not be lightly given up to their fate ; especially when, by the same means, the discoveries of Franklin and Parry may be connected, and a series of ex peditions be, as it were, cninpkted, which, in so fir as they have gone, reflect the highest credit on British skill and enterprise, and have left, in truth, little more than the blank here contemplated to be filled up, in ()flier t, complete our knowledge of the outline of the American coast. These views have been, therefor e. lately brou,;ht under the consideration of his Mai . 81's Gavernineat, and sati gume hopes are entertained that it may be induced to sdbscribe 2,0001. towards carrying them into effect. Tile Hudson's Bay Cimpany bas, also, with great literality, consented to provide boats and provisions for the party gratuitously; and has alr eady torwarded the requisite orders for this purpose. Captain Rick, R.N., one ut Sir Jo in Franklin's companions in both his journeys, has vo lunieered to conduct the expedition, tie plate of which Dr. b was en originallycarefully ski rev h i t . c ed e d h a [i( ) re.co Richa rdson, eb a y nc has both ot l since t,s officers.

It wilt afterwards act as Captain Back's judgment, and the circumstances in which he may find himself placed, shall direct ; but at least two seasons will be requi ,ite to execute the service in any degree satisfactorily.
