Rear-Admiral Fanshawe, C. 8., superintendent of this dockyard, and acting port-admiral, with the clerks of the Treasury department, proceeded to Spithead yesterday morning in the steam-tender Fire Queen, Master Com mander Paul, to pay wages to the ship's company of the Fury, 6, paddle-sloop, Commander Tatham. Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, K.C.8., Surveyor of the Navy, Captain W. 11. Henderson, C. 8., of the Blenheim, also went out in the Fire Queen to board some of the steamers of the squadron lying there. The Banshee steam-packet, Lieutenant James Hosken, commanding, will be ready to come out of dock into the steam basin on the 15th. Her crew were "paid down" yesterday morning. The Rodney, 92, Captain Charles Graham, C. 8., sa il e d from Spith ea d for the Mediterranean yesterday morning. The Leander, 50, Captain King, sailed from Spithead on a cruise yesterday morning. A respectable tradesman of Portsea makes the following statement in one of the local papers of yesterday :—" The time appears to be fast approaching when tradesmen will be obliged to give up business witlr the ships afloat. The Leander and the Arrogant, after lying here several months, and incurring debts, were paid on Thursday, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. The Arrogant sailed the next morning without giving her men an oppor tunity of paying her just debts, as no tradesmen were allowed on board ; and in the Leander several instances of robbery werefdiscovered, which rendered it unsafe to do business." We regret to state, in confirmation, that the tradesmen have too much just ground for complaint in these matters. The Medea, 6, paddle-sloop, Commander J. C. Bailey, is under sailing orders for the West Indies. She takes to the Havannah Mr. Backhouse, Judge of the Mixed Commis. sion, and Mrs. Backhouse. The Cruiser, 14 (screw), Commander the Hon. G. H. Douglas, having remedied the defect in her screw shaft, was undocked yesterday afternoon, and the Rattlesnake, 8, Commander Trollope, was taken in to repair defects, which always seem to develope themselves between the Thames and Spithead in all ships and vessels fitted at the eastward. The screw three-decker Duke of Wellington, 131, Cap tain H. B. Martin, C. 8., is getting on fast with her fittings in the machinery department in the steam basin. The fol lowing appointments were made to her last week, but the principal of them have not yet been published in the daily journals :—Commander G. W. Preedy, just promoted from being first lieutenant of the Prince Regent ; Lieutenants, L. E. H. Somerset, C. M. Luckraft, and E. E. Maunsell ; Master and pilot, Mr. H. A. Moriarty ; Surgeon, Mr. W. F.

The sick are confined to the bay, whilst the healthy are permitted exercise on shore. We trust the fine salt-water air of Spithead will soon en able them to show a clean bill of health on board this hand some and magnificent ship. But for this sickness we should have had the results of her speed at the measured mile at Stokes Bay. It appears that on her coming round from Sheerness her engines must have run away with her, as she found h erse lf 2 0 miles to the westward of the Needles on the morning of her arrival at this port.

MANSION-HOUSE. —William Henry, William, Mitchell, and Isaac Lowe, well-dressed thieves, who in fest the principal thoroughfares of the City, were brought up in custody of Haydon and Brett, detective officers, charged with having robbed a lady of her purse, contain. ing 1/. 16s. Haydon described the conduct of the prisoner, whom ho well knew, as they p asse d a l ong an d attempted to pick the pockets of several ladies. He observed them surround a lady in Leadenhall-street in such a manner a s placed her completely at their mercy, so that the only chance she had of escape was want of property. As soon as they had felt her pockets, and found that she had no money, they cleared the way for her, and looked out for another, whom they treated in the same style, without at all exciting her suspicion. After more experiments, equally clever and unproductive, they closed round a lady of the name of Hallam, and suddenly Henry disengaged himself from his com panions and darted across the road quickly followed by Mrs. Hallam, who called out " Stop thief." The alarm was unnecessary, for Hayden collared Henry, who imme diately flung a purse of money, which he held in his hand, upon the footboard of a cab, probably in the hope that " Cabby" would serve him and himself by suddenly driving away. Haydon, however, was not to be baulked either as to the property or the thief, for he ran to the cab, dragging Henry after him, and having secured the purse, could not help tumbling into the mud, together with the prisoner, who made the most desperate efforts to escape. Brett, the moment Haydon started after Henry, collared Mitchell and Lowe. Mitchell said to him, " What ar e y ou tak i ng us for, Brett ?" Brett sa i d, " For picking pockets." " Oh," said Mitchell, "we have not be en in it. I have just been at the West End betting 61, upon Jack Grant. Let us go, and you shall see us no mare in the City to-day." Lowe had in his pocket a key, which would open an ordinary pair of handcuffs, which the officers believed he kept for the pur pose of putting it to that use, on the first occasion, for himself or a friend. Lowe—Lord ! he calls my innocent latchkey a hand cuffkeY• (Laughter.) Mitchell—l know nothing of either of these gentle men, and of course I know nothing of the robbery. (A laugh.) Henry—There is a mistake in all this ; I neither saw nor felt a purse, nor anything like it. Mrs. Hallam said she distinctly felt Henry's hand in her pocket, and saw her purse in his hand, and that mo ment the officer pounced upon him. The Lord Mayor committed the prisoners for trial, directing that their former convictions as thieves should be produced at the trial, and expressed his belief that they would not be allowed to trouble England any more. George Stevens„ a very tall beggar, who has the knack of rolling himself up in a corner, so as to appear a lump of deformity about three feet high, was charged with being an inveterate mendicant. It was clearly proved that he had in his diminutive con dition received alms of several persons, and that when the officers appeared and accused him, he started up into his usual proportions, and ran off with great velocity. The cry of "stop thief," however, checked his progress, and he was received into the arms of a policeman, who tumbled along with him in the street, but held him fast. The policeman who charged the prisoner said the moment he set off to run he begun to throw away the pence and halfpence he had collected, and several little boys tumbled in the mud in attempting to pick them up. The Lord Mayor—Can this tall man reduce himself to the size you mention? Policeman—Certainly, my lord. He looks in the street as if had not a bit of bone in his back at all, and he can run under horses' bellies in the most surprising manner. He is one of the worst beggars we have in the City. The Lord Mayor—l shall send him to hard labour in prison for 21 days, where his diet will be attended to, and he will get some work to do. Committed. STATE OF MADE. Front the Manchester Guardian of Saturday. ) MANCHESTER, FEB. 11.—The American advices, re ported in our last, have rather strengthened that cautious feeling which so promptly checked the upward movement attempted in the early part of last week. The buyers are more disposed than before to hold back from operating in yarns and goods ; for they feel an increased distrust of the present prices of cotton. There is, however, a general steadiness amongst sellers, at the rates that were obtainable a fortnight ago, although in some yarns the buyer may here and there meet with a trifling advantage. The amount of business is very limited ; but the contracts in hand for the medium and lower counts of twist and weft, as well as for most descriptions of cloth, prevent the exhibition of any anxiety to sell on the part of spin ners and manufacturers. For 7-8 and 9-8 printers there is a good demand; and the better qualities of the finer yarns for home consumption differ from the lower num bers in being dearer than they were. Moderate sales continue to be effected in domestics on the previous terms. The Liverpool market is heavy. Prices are not quoted lower, but the bias is slightly against buyers. GI.I4GOW, FEB. 11. —The cotton market has been quiet, but steady in price. Demand limited. BRADFORD, FEB. 10.—Wool—The transactions in the wool market, throughout the week, have been spiritless, with no disposition to sell at a depressed price, all parties being satisfied that the present consumption, profitless of otherwise, will maintain the price, as the supplies coming to market are scanty, and the choice here daily getting worse. Yarns—The spinners are in a bad plight ; wool is, and likely to be, dear, whil e higher prices on yarns limit the consumption. Every day the complaints increase of the bad return of empty bobbins, and the consequent stoppage of the spinning frames ; and as there is no inclination to reel yarns, bad as it may be to let the frames stand, it would be worse to reel it, and sell at the prices now current. Pieces— The sales to-day are not marked by any great activity, nor is there any relief presented to the manufacturers by cheaper cotton or worsted, and from present appearances nothing but lessening the production can bring about a change in prices consequent on the cost to produce goods. NOTTINGHAM, FEB. 10.—There has been a considerably increased demand for lace goods lately, consequently stocks are very much diminished, and there is every reason to suppose that this business will shortly be as good as the hosiery, which_ continues uninterruptedly prosperous. The price of yarn for each trade remains without change, but there is every probability of lace yarn being higher. LEICESTER, FEB. 10.—The home demand has fallen off considerably, the shopkeepers not being willing to give advanced prices until their stocks are moved off. The orders for Australia, Canada, and the United States still keep the fancy hosiery, shirts, and drawers branches well employed, and a good trade is doing both in socks and gloves. Worsted yarns are very firm, and spinners complain of not being able to realise the pre sent value of wools. The woolstaplers keep requiring a little more and obtain a trifling advance according to de mand. Skin wools and short sorts are in much request. CONVOCATION OF THE CLERGT-ADDRESS TO THE QUEEIV. The Archbishop of Canterbury, accompanied by the Bishop of London, the Bishop of Oxford, and several other prelates connected with the province, together with the Very Rev. Dr. Peacock, Dean of Ely (the prolocutor) ; the Dean of Norwich, the Dean of St. Asaph, the Dean of Salisbury, Archdeacon Harrison, Archdeacon Hare, Dr. Spry, Dr. Wordsworth, and other members of the Lower House of Convocation, will wait upon her Majesty the Queen, by appointment, on Wednesday next, when the following address will be presented " Madam,—We, your Majesty's faithful subjects, the archbishop, bishops, and clergy of the province of Can terbury, assembled in Convocation, most humbly ap proach your Majesty with respectful assurance of loyal affection to your Majesty's throne and person. And we desire to add our sincere congratulations, that since the last occasion when we enjoyed a similar privilege, it has pleased Almighty God to bless both your Majesty's Royal family and the country at large with a measure of prosperity which demands our warmest thankfulness. " Your Majesty has been graciously pleased to state to your assembled Parliament, that your Majesty has received assurances of a disposition on the part of foreign powers to maintain those friendly relations with this country which have already been prolonged beyond all former example. And never, perhaps, was there a time when the inhabitants of this land were more generally prosperous, more willingly obedient to the laws, or more loyally affected towards the throne. It is our earnest prayer to Almighty God, that he will continue to our selves and extend to all nations the blessings of peace and unity. "Here we earnestly desire to assure your Majesty of our deep sympathy with the sorrow which your Majesty has so graciously expressed, a sorrow which is even shared by foreign nations, for the loss which the empire is now mourning in the death of that great warrior and statesman, to whom, above all, it has been owing under God's overruling Providence that we have enjoyed this long and unprecedented peace and prosperity. We as sure your Majesty that we prize above the splendour of his greatest exploits that high sense of duty which led him to devote all his faculties to the service of his Sovereign and his country, and to value his most glorious victories chiefly as they secured a lasting peace. "The subject, however, on which your Majesty will expect us to feel the deepest interest is the state of re ligion in this land. And here there is much to encourage whilst there is also much to lament, and much that we hope gradually to amend. Great exertions have been made during the last 30 years, with the desire of pro viding the means of spiritual instruction of a population increasing beyond all former experience. Much has been done by the awakened liberality of individuals, as sisted by recent legislative measures, towards enabling the Church to fulfil the ends of her Divine mission. Much, however, still remains to be done, and we assure your Majesty that our heartiest endeavours shall be used to relieve, wherever they exist, the spiritual wants of the population. We feel a confident persuasion that these our endeavours will be seconded by the pious and ready co-operation of our lay brethren in the Church. In connection with this subject we cannot but observe, that although the population of England and Wales has been doubled in the last half century, the number of English and Welsh bishops remains nearly the same as it was three centuries ago, a state of things to which we beg respectfully to invite your Majesty's consideration. " We trust, however, that if the Church has been un able to accomplish all that might be desired, it has yet given no slight proof of activity and power. Fewer churches were built during the whole of the last century than are now consecrated to the service of God in every successive year. Inadequate as are still the means of providing Christian education for the increasing numbers who require it, we thankfully acknowledge that great efforts have been made for its extension and improve ment. " And great and painful as are the privations of many of your Majesty's poorer subjects in our crowded cities, it must be a peculiar source of satisfaction to your Ma jesty that under the continuous and active encourage ment of your Majesty's illustrious Consort, institutions have been formed, and are daily forming, to increase the comforts of the labouring classes, and to improve their moral and social condition ; and as all true charity has its origin in religious principle, we trust that in this in stance also proof has been given of the influence of that faith which it is the duty of the clergy to inculcate and maintain amongst the people committed to their charge. For whatever has been done or intended of good we de sire to give God the glory, through our Lord Jesus Christ, being deeply conscious of the imperfections of all our endeavours. " In thus referring to the subjects which appear to us especially to concern the well-being of the Church, we cannot omit to speak of those deliberative functions of this Convocation which many members of our Church desire to see again called into active exercise. " We do not, indeed, deem it advisable at the present moment to petition your Majesty for your Royal licence to transact such business as we may not enter upon without it, but we think it our duty respectfully to ex press our conviction both that its legislative assemblies are an essential and most important part of the constitu tion of the Reformed Church, and that the circumstances of the present day make it alike more imperative to pre serve, and as far as possible to improve them, and more particularly that the resumption of their active func tions in such manner as your Majesty, by your Royal licence may permit, may at no distant date be productive of much ad van t age. We know, indeed, that apprehen sions have been entertained that in such a case Convo cation might address itself to the discussion of contro verted questions of doctrine, and a spirit of stille and bitterness be thereby engendered, fatal to Christian charity, an d d angerous alike to existing i ns tit u tions and to our visible unity ; and we, therefore, feel it to be our duty humbly t o p ra y y our M a j es ty to receive this our most solemn declaration of our hearty acceptance of the doctrinal formularies and liturgical offices of the Re formed Church, and our assurance that we regard them as inestimable blessings, and are resolved, by the help of God, to tr an s m it th em uffimpared to posterity. And further, th a t we no t o nly recognise, but highly prize, your Majesty's undoubted supremacy in all causes, ecclesiasti ca l an d c i v il, over all persons and in every part of you r M a j es ty' s d om inions, as it was maintained in ancient times against the usurpation of the See of Rome, and was recovered and reasserted at our Refo rma ti on. In connection with this grave subject we feel that your Majesty may expect from us the expression of our solemn protest against that fresh aggression of the Bishop of Rome by which he has arrogated to himself the spiritual charge of this nation, thereby denying the existence of that branch of the Church Catholic which was planted in Britain in the primitive ages of Christianity, and has been preserved by a merciful Providence to this day, as well as against many which have preceeded it ; and we desire on this, our first occasion of a dd ress i ng your Majesty since its occurrence, solemnly to protest in the face of Christendom, and to lay this our protest before your Most Gracious Majesty." " DOING WELL AT THE DIGGINGS."—AIthe weekly meeting of the Marylebone Board of Guardians on Fri day, Mr. Messer read a letter from Catherine Enright, one of twenty-five workhouse girls sent to Australia in 1849 by the parish, which, after praising their happy change, and thanking the guardians for it, thus con cluded :—" I need only add, that all the girls who came out with me are married—(a lsaigh)—and most of them got children. (Continued laughter.) I have got a little boy, (Increased laughter.) We are all doing well," Now, in recapitulating the above lists, from which are omitted all our immense force of paddle-wheel steamers and smaller screw-vessels, we may remark that we do so for the purpose of making the public acquainted with the real condition of the navy at the present moment. We neither omit nor exaggerate, but give the plain facts. 'We have exposed the incorrect statements of Sir Charles Napier on the one hand, and have frequently shown the statements of the Times in July last, that the French had nothing equal to our Agamemnon (not then in commission), and our Arrogant, a second-class frigate, to be equally erroneous, and now when we see the in valid Earl of Mount Egdcumbe lending his name and his military and yachting character to spread alarm throughout the country at a time when every exertion is being made to complete our screw-ships, and to in crease and stregthen the shore defences of the country, we deem it our bounden duty to tell the world the truth. The Earl of Mount Edgcumbe's beautiful seat is situ ated on a portion of our defenceless frontier, and doubt less he would like to see a strong fleet in Plymouth Sound or Cawsand Bay, as well as a regiment quartered on Maker Heights ;so should we. We should like to see the Mewstone fortified, and a screw-squadron in Torbay. We should like to see every untenanted house in his lordship's manor of Stonehenge occupied by officers of the Royal navy, army, or marines ; but we are looking forward to the abolition of the income tax, and we cannot afford to assist any nervous old gentleman in creating un necessar y alarmslby backing up his letters to the Times. We would much rather that all our line-of-battle -ships were fitted with screw machi. nery ; that we had a reserve of 10,000 instead of 3,000 seamen in the coast guard ; that we had all our contract En g laerdm arms e ;that t s uwge gpeasctkeedt, steorvthicee umseenoftrgraienaetdgm, ans smallaLainedut. had double the force of marine artillery that we at pre. tsreinettapwosesreessre;mthovatedoutor tthreeoe P o as s nt it o t h w e n n s a a n n u d f a t c h t a u t r i w n g e h d sd the flying batteries of artillery complete for railway locomotion ; but we must confess that we' are not so badly off after all with 23 sail of the line in actual com mission, 7of them screw-ships (including the steam f s r p o a m c e an of guard ships) ; and we are quite satisfied that, in the on m o o n n r t months, shoresw e s o h f a l t l h h e av e whole nothi ng na va t, o forcesfear of the world combined.

Cockburn, gave us a reserve of 30 sail of the line to fall back upon. But we must not forget that we require the men, not the mere seamen ; we should get, thousands of those on an emergency. We want marine artillery and seamen trained to the use of arms. The fleet is provided. Let Sir Baldwin. Walker do his best, and the count the skilry will be well cared for in that res p ect ; but we want ful, well-drilled gunners to smash a flotilla or fire the enemy's coasts.— Morning Herald. -_,---_ . [ADVERTISEMENT.] -- HOLLOWAY'S PILLS FOR THE EFFECTUAL CURE OF DROPSY.—The singular efficacy of Holloway's pills in the numerous cures effected by their use in some of the most obstinate cases of dropsy is very extraordinary. These astonishing pills act with such peculiar effect upon the system, that the fluids arising from this direful disease, are imperceptibly carried off, and entirely preve - ated from any further accumulation. The distressing symptoms which accompany this com plaint b , sing tiros dispersed, the sufferer regains buoy ancy of ;3pirits, and a completely renovated constitution.

The Petty Sessions Court, removed from the Angel Inn to the gaol of Ilford, was on Friday forenoon very much crowded by persons who believed that Charles Saunders would be brought before the bench and wit nesses examined against him. Soon after the magistrates assembled at the prison on Friday, the chairman told the witnesses that as the pri soner would not be brought up that day their attendance would not be necessary. Should they be required by the bench, due notice should be sent to them. They were, however, to bear, in mind that should the pri soner be tried on the coroner's warrant, they would be wanted in London at the next session of the Central Criminal Court. He (the chairman) and his brother magistrates had decided upon remanding the prisoner until they should receive instructions from the Secre tary of State for the Home Department, to whom he would write on Monday. If the noble secretary did not think a committal by the magistrates necessary, to back, as it were, the coroner's warrant, then the magistrates would not re-cpen the charge against the prisoner ; but if Lord Palmerston did think a magisterial committal requisite, the prisoner would be brought before them swat week, and evidence gone into. In the interim (this was said in answer tota question from the police inspector) the prisoner was to remain in that prison in the safe custody of its keeper. We were informed by the police that the prisoner (Saunders) is either insane or feigns to be so. One con stable and the chaplain deem him really mad ; others who watch him say that he simulutes madness, and that in a slovenly manner. On Friday evening one of the warders asked him how is fingers were (they got out whilst he was in the act of cutting his victim's throat), when ho replied, "He be if he cared—it was no andsnlisgi slighter. The his The to-morrow latter was nota persevering worth a gr o distributor matter whether th e y were we ll or ill, as h e was a b out to be scragged."

Thus at one time, a premium of 11. is. or 21. 2s. per cent, might be taken, and at another time the underwriter w ou ld perhme not be inclined to d o busi ness un der 31. 3s. or 4/. 4S. per cent. , it is not only de pending on the c l ass of ship, but th e cargo she is likely to carry, and the port for which she is b o und. Th ese are all the considerations which the underwriter most carefully weighs in his mind before he takes any part or risk in adventure of the sort. On a vessel of 20,000/. or 30,0001. value, the policy of insurance might be divided among as many as a dozen underwriters, including some at Liverp oo l and Glasgow. And it, very often happens that the Liver p ool and Glasgow people will insure their shi p s at London , and v ice versa This will acco un t for the statement occasionally to be . seen in the newspapers, " that notwithstanding the vessel was a London trader, the greater part of the loss will fall upon the underwriters of Liverpool and Gl asgow. . When a vessel continues absent after the expected date of arrival, and no news has been received of her, the premium of insurance will advance considerably, and then the business resolves it self into a mere speculative transaction. Some of the members of the room snap at this business, but it does not often prove profitable. The ill-fated President was "done" at a very hi g h premium in the room, and, up to the latest moment of hope, persons were found willing enough " to take a few thousands of her at a long price." When bad weather has occurred, either on the coast or abroad, the underwriters at Lloyd's make the most anxious investigation of the books and the lista received, to trace, by every possible means, the result of their risks. The life of the underwriter, like the stock-specu lator, is one of vast anxiety, the events of the day often raising his expectation s to the highest, or depressing them to the lowest pitch; and years are often spent in the hoped-for acquisition of that which he never obtains. Among the old stagers of the room there is often strong antipathy expressed against the insurance of certain ships ; but we don't recollect it being followed out to such an extent as in the case of one vessel. She was a steady trader, named after one of the most venerable members of the room; and it was a curious coincidence that he invariably refused to " write her" for " a single line." Often he was joked upon the subject, and pressed to do a little on his name-sake; but he as frequently de clined, shaking his head in a doubtful manner. One morning the subscribers were reading the "double lines," or the losses, and among them was this identical ship, which had gone to pieces, and become a total wreck. —The City. A TRIP ON THE PANAMA RAILWAY.—A motley crowd of passengers landed from the Sierra Nevada, and crowded t o th e ra il w ay cars, on the morning of the 2d of October. Here was the owner of a Californian saw mill, with his wife, sister, and six children—there a learned judge. In other spots might be seen a crowd of rough lumber men from the pine forests of Maine, going to seek their fortunes in the far west ; New York tradesmen and merchants going to see friends, or to attend some business in San Francisco ; broken-down soldiers from the Mexican war going on no busi ness at all ; an engineer with his old father, a septuage narian, and large family ; a party of Englishmen en gaged to work a silver mine in the mountains of the Sierra Nevada ; a young German with a daguerrotype of his lady-love, bound to the " diggings," to make a fortune previous to his marriage ; with many others, all bustling to and fro on the platform under a burning sun, and jostling each other most unceremoniously. At length all was ready, the whistle sounded, the ears started, and away we went, plunging each minute deeper and deeper into the thick pestilential forest, whose rank vegetation rises from a black unwholesome morass. Lofty trees, whose age may be counted by centuries, creepers of every description, flowers of all hues, palms, plantains, and every kind of tropical plant, crowded here one upon another in the thickest confusion, and as they wither and die away, others spring up ; while the decaying matter sends up a fever, which cleared off, by scores and scores, the unhappy workmen of that fatal railroad. At high noon our destination was reached, at the spot where the railway at present ends, on the banks of Chagres river, where a little village has risen up of five or six huts, called Barbacoas. The railroad from Aspinwall to Bar bacoas is 25 miles in length, consisting only of a single line, and reached this point about two months ago ; in about nine months more it will have worked its way along the banks of the Rio Chargres, Obispro, and Grande, to Panama,--Dickens's "Household Words."

While passing Hillen-street-bridge, he was encountered by a ruffian of the O'Bludgeon order, who inquired the time of night. "It has just struck eleven," said the stranger, blandly, without any signs of alarm. " Eleven, did you say ?" was the gruff rejoinder ; "as I don't believe it is so late I'd like to see for m y se lf ; so pull y our watc h out, quick. It looks as if it might be a good one from the big bunch of seals you've hanging to it." "Yes, it's a patent lever, extra jewelled," said the Southerner, pulling it and a long eight-barreled re volver forth at the same time. Resting the time-piece, still retained by the guard, on the barrels of the deadly weapon, he extended it towards Mr. O'Bludgeon, with a request to satisfy himself as to the precise hour. The ruffian appeared to be utterly bewildered at this prompt movement. A few inches from his nose, was the glit tering golden lever ; but it rested cat eight dark barrels, from which a slight click of the trigger would send as many leaden passengers for his life's blood. For a mo ment only did lie remain in such a dangerou s l ocal i ty ; and with a quivering remark that "it was any hour the gentleman was pleased to say," he dashed up liillen streeti and was soon lost in the surrounding darkness.
