MANcHEaTER, Oct. 18.—There is some improvement to-day in the general tone of our market. In several de partments, buyers are more disposed to operate, and • sellers more inclined to harden in their prices. For India yarns, an advance of fully 4d. per lb is required ; and the quotations for reeled water twist up to 30s, and for 24s to 28s warps, are raised about the same fraction. The German merchants are venturing to increasu their purchases. Warps and pincops for Domestics are - stiffer, and mule spinnings of twist and weft suitable for Blackburn are firmer 'at previous rates. Fine yarns and most counts of doubled do not share in this tendency. In Domestics, there is no improvement what ever; but 40-inch shirtings are more inquired after by the India houses, and the makers are asking rather higher prices. The causes of the little improvement ex perienced to-day appear to be the rather easier state of the money market, the upward tendency of cotton, and the somewhat more favourable condition of the Indian mar kets. The transactions of the day have not been large, but they have been more numerous. Much regret has - been felt to-day at the announcement that an old, extensive, and highly-respected spinning house has sus pended payment. No particulars are known. HUDDERSFIELD, Oct. 18.—The goods which have passed into the hands of the merchants to-day have gene • ' rally been towards completion of former orders. Pur chasers of other goods have been exceedingly light, and few in number, and complaints are general, in both the cloth hall and the surrounding warehouses, of the scar city of business. The articles at all inquired for are a few of the heavier and cheaper kinds of cloth, as " unions," beavers, and pilotings, for the home markets, - and such as are likely to come into immediate use. In the wool warehouses; very little has been done, either to-day qr during the past week. ItoODALF6 Oct. 17.—We have had a very quiet and dull in4rlset, although there has been a tolerably good ' attendance of buyers. Low-priced goods have been most' dentand, and the merchants are .offering - lower - prices. There has been little or nothing doings in the - wool market ; the manufacturers. show no disposition to buy, as the London wool sales open this week (Thurs day), arid they are expecting lower prices. HALIFAX, Oct. 15.—As the merchants naturally feel, in the present juncture, a disposition to contract their operations as much as possible, there is very little busi ness doing. In every department of the worsted trade, from the raw material to the finish€d article, consider able dullness prevails, and prices are little more than nominal. BIRMINGHAM, Oct. 17.—The quarterly meetings of the ron trade have been held as usual during the last week. The large dealers came forward on Thursday with their amount of orders, and an extensive business was trans acted. Manufactured iron of every description main tained the nominal prices, indeed, contracts were reluc tantly undertaken at present rates, and conditionally only, subject to the reduction of the wages movement, yet unsettled—a very general presentiment obtaining that higher figures will rule in a short time. For pig iron there was much inquiry, and large sales were made both at Birmingham, and on Saturday evening at Dudley. Pig makers, in the absence of all speculative supply, insisted upon considerably the higher figures, which the manufacturers were ultimately obliged to concede, and an advance of fully 5s per ton on this article has been esta blished. For ironstone higher prices have been given, but coals remains at present unaltered. The dissatisfaction among the colliers is generally attributed, and we think justly, to the foolish attempt made in some localities partially to advance the price of coals, and we are sorry to say that as yet they have not resumed their work. In limestone 6d. per ton additional has been obtained. The trade is allowed on all hands to be sound and healthy, and the demand is in most branches outstrip ping the power of production ; but the results of the bungling policy decided upon at the last three prelimi nary meetings are being severely felt.

LONDON AND WEST KENT.—A meeting of landowners and residents of Maidstone and its neighbourhood was held yesterday at the Star Hotel, Maidstone, for the purpose of considering the outline of a project for the formation of a railway from Sydenham to Bromley, by Ilford to Maidstone, with branches to Lewisham, Green wich, Eltham, and Newington Causeway, for local and suburban traffic, and with duplicate lines and indepen dent termini for Crystal Palace traffic. The Right Hon. Lord Homesdale was called to the chair, and after some discussion, in which Sir Charles Fox took a part, Irlr. P. Cator proposed, and Mr. Simmons seconded, a reso lution to the effect that the projected railway was de serving of the best support of the landowners and inha bitants of Maidstone and its neighbourhood, and that a committee be formed to assist in carrying it into effect. The resolution was carried unanimously, and some other business having been disposed of, a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, and the proceedings terminated. PROPOSED NEW LINE FROM LONDON TO SOUTHAMPTON. —Surveys, it is stated, are being made for a line from the Didcot station of the Great Western Railway, near Oxford, to Southampton and Newbury. GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.—At a meeting just held at Horncastle, resolutions were passed in favour of the formation of a line from Horncastle to the Kirkstead station of the Great Northern Railway, seven miles in length. RAILWAY FROM CHEADLE TO CRESSWELL.—At a public meeting of the inhabitants of Cheadle and the neighbour hood, held at the Wheatsheaf Hotel, Cheadle, on Satur day last, resolutions were passed declaring the necessity and expediency of constructing a railway from Cheadle to Cresswell, on the North Staffordshire Railway. Seve ral parties put down their names for shares in the under taking. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETTJRNS.

Al though Madame Caradori, Herr Formes, and Herr Reichardt, were each in' splendid voice, and sang and acted with the most consummate taste, we were sorry to observe that there was only a very poor attendance on the occasion. This might be partly owing to no en tire o p era being enacted, yet the very fact of such re nowned vocalists appearing before a Hull audience, should, we think, have secured a far better attendance. Mr. Caple, however, by no means discouraged by this lack of patronage, has given us, during this week, an equally rich treat, though of a totally different kind, in the appearance of the celebrated comic actor, Mr. Wright, in some of his favourite characters. In the farce of My Precious Betsy, he was particularly droll, keeping the audience in one continual roar of laughter by his re presentation of that eccentric, original, but somewhat jealou s i n di v i dual, Mr. Wagtail. ' There is a fund of genial humour about this gentleman, which is most re freshing, and while he repeatedly excites the risible faculties of his hearer.=, till their sides ache again, he never in the least degree offends by any indecorous or vulgar allusion. The house has been exceedingly well Packet. Sia PERSONS DROWITED.—On Wednesday last, six „Young men, sons of crofters in Kihnaluag, parish of Isle of Skye, went by boat to fish off Trodda, a small island near the point of Airdmhic-ceolan, and close to the northern end of Skye. Towards evening, as they were rowing their boat to the shore, the weather sud denly - changed, arid by a heavy s e a, the frail barque was swamp e d an d a ll th e s i x youths were drowned, in t he sight of many of their friends, Who could render no sintance.--/nornao Courier. fact, gam LOUIS ludi i CUM.- wity, often. ;ence 'pa ny .

THE STRIKE MOVEMENT. ( Fro2n the Times.) It seems to be the unvarying will of Providence to mingle in the sweetest cup of our prosperity so much bitterness as may remind us how transitory is its enjoyment, and how changeable its ingre dients. Be the causes of public well-doing ever so deeply rooted and so easily traced, there are never wanting secondary agencies to counteract and diminish their efficiency. We have, undoubtedly, passed through a period of great prosperity, and A there seems no reason to fear that we have exhausted the benefits derivable from the policy of free trade: Yet, two circumstances have considerably detracted from the lustre of our success, and reminded us that no policy, however wise, far-sighted, and beneficent, can prevail against the adverse laws of nature, or the unruly passions or propensities of man. The .first. of these is the failure of the harvest over this country and a considerable portion of the con tinent of Europe. We are so used to abundance, we have so long revelled in plenty, that we regard as a symptom of dearth a price which a few years ago was held by very competent authorities to be merely and barely remunerative, aud, in fact, a necessary condition of the cultivation of our land. This rise of prices has been sufficient to withdraw a very considerable sum from the ptirchase of other commodities, and to occasion a large exporta tion of the precious metals to foreign countries. To this inevitable visitation we have only t o , submit with patience and thankfulness that we are so well provided to meet it. But there is another cause at work, to which it is not so easy to reconcile our minds, because it arises, not from the powers of nature, but from the miruly e waywardness and wilfulness of man. At the very time when production was most required, when the capital from which the labourer must derive his wages, as well as the master his profits, was most rapidly increasing—the working classes of this country were seized with the mania of " strikes," and, forgetful of former misery, and unschooled by bitter experience, have been spending in voluntary idleness months which might have been devoted to a labour more than ordinarily profitable. It is, of course, neither unnatural nor reprehensible that the working classes should desire to have their share in the. general , prosperity, and that when all milder means of persuasion fail they should exert the power they possess of at once arresting the operations of their masters. This ultimate re medy, however, is resorted to with incre dible levity. A " strike" partakes largely of the nature of war, of which it has this essential characteristic, that the striking party inflicts certain and immense injury on himself, in order to cause au equal injury to his antagonist. It is a game from which both parties generally rise losers. The workman imagines that he is only destroying the property of his master, forgetful how large a portion of that property must, in the course of business, necessarily become his own. Should the master yield at once, and should the state of the trade be able to bear the advance, an advantage may no doubt be gained ; but a few weeks of a " strike" necessarily anticipate and devour beforehand all that can be gained by its success, without counting the destruction of capital, which necessarily impairs the permanence of, the advanced rate of wages. • But probably the worst effect of a "strike" is the interruption or rather the annihilation of all kindly feeling between masters and men. It is, • after all, impossible to reduce the relation between master and labourer entirely to pounds, shillings, and pence. Even the agriculturists of Essex must eke out wages -under ten shillings a week by the occasional donation of a pound to some fortu nate labourer. So, in the manufacturing districts one master contents himself with the payment of the sum agreed on to his hands, and considers that when they have left his mill he has no further interest or concern with them till they return to it ; another employer regards his people as almost a part of his own family. He builds a schoolhouse for their children, he establishes a library, he provides them with decent cottages at a reasonable rent, he studies their intellectual and moral improvement. Yet sad experience shows that if these two men pay the same rate of wages, al though the contribution of one towards the well being of his labourers is so much larger than that of th other, both will be equally liable to the in fliction of a "strike," and thus the benevolent master will find that the money spent by him in promoting the comfort and raising the condition of his people is entirely overlooked by them, and will regard it as totally thrown away. This does not arise so much from unkindness or ingratitude on the part of the men as from the peculiar manner in which these "shrikes" are got up. Nothing could be a greater mistake than to regard this wages movement, as it is called, as the spontaneous act of the persons who are ostensibly the movers in it. The men who must bear the weight of the "strike," and whose relations with their masters, perhaps during the whole of their future lives, will be un favourably influenced by it, are the mere instru ments of associations of which they are members, and which act utterly without regard to these con siderations. It will generally be found, if the history of a " strike " be attentively investigated, that it originated from one or two professional agitators, who find their account in keeping up a spirit of animosity, upon which they are sure to thrive at the expense of the belligerent parties. These men are implicitly obeyed, as re presenting a power which no working man dares to set at defiance, however well convinced he may be of the impolicy and injustice of its requisitions. The enormous faith of many made for one is no where better illustrated than in the spectacle, with which we are unhappily too familiar, of the dis turbance and overthrow of a system of industry elaborated and perfected for the reciprocal advan tage of both parties, merely to gratify the selfish ness and greediness, the turbulence and self-im portance of a few agitators, whose vocation it is to live on the fears, the passions, or the follies of their neighbour. Just as the animosities and heart burnings created by war survive for many years the cessation of hostilities, and often influence the relations of nations after the cause has been forgotten, so have those blind guides whom the working inen have shown themselves too ready to follow laid the foundation of feelings of bitterness, and checked the advance of improvement and good feeling to a degree of which they have themselves no idea. We commend the case to the consideration of the Peace Society. Let them try their hand in recon ciling those intestine wars which are tearing out the very vitals of our industry. Let them apply the doctrine of arbitration to the disputes between masters and men, and when they have persuaded individuals and associations of individuals to calm their heated passions, to lay aside those means of mutual annoyance which auger suggests, and sub mit the rights of their quarrel to the decision of au impartial tribunal, they may . With the better heart proceed in their career as the reconcilers of irri tated nations and the mediators between contend ing monarchs. ROWING MATCHES.—The race between Rice, of Lime house, and T. Coombes, which was expected to have yelled eastward to witness it, circumstanc es occurrin g been a very close affair, disappointed those who had tra which divested it of all interest within three minutes of the start. George Rice is almost unknown to the aquatic world, but his opponent is the brother of the celebrated Robert Coombes, the ex-champion, and has rowed with him and alone a number of gallant races against the re nowned Claspers and others for years past. The stake was 501., and the distance from Old Barge-house to Lime house-hole. At the moment of starting Rice had the nose of his boat a little more in front than usual, but Coombes, immediately they got to work, was alongside of him, with a slight temporary lead. They had scarcely proceeded three hundred yards when a heavy surf threat ened the immersion of Coombes, and while he was guard ing against it his opponent went right away and won easily. Simmet and Curtis contended over a small part of the same course shortly afterwards. They were said to be extremely evenly matched ; and although the stakes only amounted to 101., there was a great deal of specula tion upon the result. For a short distance after the o u A t r owed him, SENSITIVE and iu 1 t w D o E n it b z y R . _15 , 0 t y v a e r r d y s . s tart the race looked lik e C ur ti s ' s, b ut h i s opponent fairly frequently happens that sentences of death, tardily pronounced by the Audiencia of Caraccas, cannot be executed for want of a hangman. In . these cases, the barbarous custom is observed of pardoning one criminal on condition of his banging the others. Our guides related to us that, a short time before our arrival on the•coast of Cumana, a Zambo, known for the great ferocity of his manners, de termined to screen himself from punishment by turning executioner. The preparations for the execution, how ever, shook his resolution--he felt a horror of himself, and preferring death to the disgrace of thus saving his life, he called again for his irons, which had been struck off. He did not long remain in prison, and he fii under wentis his sentence through the baseness of one of accomplices. This awakening of a sentiment of in the soul of a murderer is a psychologic phenomenonten shed worthy of reflection. The man who ( ofol'eustice in in the blood of travellers in the plains, recoiled of becoming the passive instrument 3_ he felt that he flicting upon others a punishment which himself deserved.— llumboldes Trave l s.

( From the Registrar-General's Report.) The weekly return of the Registrar-General shows that the number of deaths registered in the metropolitan districts in the week that ended on Saturday was 1,039. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1843-52, the average number was 949, which, if raised in propor tion to increase of population, will give 1,044. A com parison of the actual and estimated results shows that London last week suffered not more than its ordinary r a te of mortality. Cholera, which has made its appearance felt in vari ous parts of the metropolis, and- during the four weeks that followed 10th September, showed a small but con tinuous increase, does not appear latterly to have gained ground. The deaths from this disease were 66 in the first week of October ; last week they declined to 45. It is a somewhat remarkable coincidence that 45 was the number registered in the corresponding week (viz. the 42d) of 1848 ; for many weeks thereafter the deaths rose and fell, dropping so low as one and two in the spring of 1849, till the epidemic broke out with violence in summer. The fluctuations which mark its previous history may attend its course again ; but experience affords sufficient warning that a te:nporary abatement should not lull into security those whose business it is to prepare for the attack. The 45 deaths of last week (21 of which occurred to males, 24 to females) were thus distributed over London :—ln the West Districts 6, in the North 3, in the Central 2, in the East 6, and on the South side of the Thames 28. The following are the cases in detail : -'". WEST DISTRICTS. Population 376,427. KENSINGTON— Brompton.—At 6, Sloane-place, on 11th October, a footman, aged 44 years, "cholera Asiatiea, no t seen till collapsed ; diarrhoea (3 weeks)." Mr. Stone, the registrar, says—" Sloane-place has been repeatedly reported by me as being unhealthy ; the me dical attendant attendant says—' This man has been suffering from diarrhoea for three weeks, and was not seen by me till collapsed. There is a decomposing vegetable matter at the back of the house and a most offensive smell in front, most probably from the yard of a cowkeeper opposite, pigs and cows being both kept there." KENSINGTON—St. Paul, Hammersmith.—At 27, Brook-green-place, on the 13th October, the daughter ofla labourer, aged 4 months, "exhaustion from cho leraic diarrhoea (6 days)." KENSINGTON—FuIham. — At Sand's-end, on 10th October, the wife of a gas-labourer, aged 26 years, "cholera Asiatica (15 hours)." Mr. Godrich, the me dical attendant, remarks—" The house is in a very dirty state, and not fit for human habitation. Witl.in a few yards of the back door a hole has been formed, where all the refuse seems to have been poured. The privies of both this and the adjoining house are quite full, and the soil running over the yard, and this has been the case, I am told, for 3 weeks.

The coroner's inquiry has at length terminated, and on Monday evening the jury, after three hours' delibe ration, agreed to a verdict of " manslaughter" against the engine-driver and stoker of the goods train on the night of the fatal collision. The jury attached a rider to the finding, which gave it the character of a special verdict—that is to say, that, in their opinion, the com pany stand acquitted of all blame in the accident. After counsel bad addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoners, and the coroner carefully summed up the evidence, the jury retired to their room, it being at the time 25 minutes past 4 o'clock. Mr. J. D. Fitzgerald, Q.C., said, he might, perhaps, take that opportunity of making a statement which he had been requested by one of the directors—and the only one present—of the Great Southern and Western Railway to do. The Coroner—Certainly, Mr. Fitzgerald. Mr. Fitzgerald—The statement I have to make on behalf of the company is briefly this :—While congratu lating the county of Kildare on the mode in which this inquiry—protracted as it has necessarily been—has been conducted, whether in reference to the ability, firmness, or impartiality evinced by the coroner in his conduct, or to the care, patience, and intelli gence exhibited by the jury, we are also anxious to pay a just tribute to two gentlemen who have taken a part in this sad transaction—two gentlemen connected with this county. I refer to the Hon. Mr. Lawless and Mr. William Kennedy. The latter gentleman happened to be present when the calamity occurred—a calamity such, perhaps, as none of them had ever wit nessed, and which was likely to appal the stoutest heart. Mr. Kennedy, amid the wounded, the dying, and the dead, displayed an amount of firmness and fore thought most remarkable—he not alone_rendered active personal assistance, but directed almost everything to be done that the coolest. and most self-possessed man could think of or suggest. The Hon. Mr. Lawless likewise gave the most efficient assistance, and in the most gene rous and humane spirit threw open his house for the re ception of the wounded. At that moment the children of the late Mr. and Mrs. M'Swinney and the infant daughter of Mr. Knapp were under the kind and mater nal care of the Hon. Mrs. Lawless. Such conduct was most creditable, and merited as it would receive the ad miration and applause of every human mind. Mr. Curran said, he had on a former occasion alluded to the fact of manacles having been placed upon his client. He was now requested by Gass himself to state, that it was on his way to the gaol that the ocurrence took place, and that the fetters were not put on by the directions of Clarke, from which gentleman' he had always experienced every kindness and attention consis tent with his duty, and to whom he was therefore de sirous of making that public testimony of his gratitude. At 10 minutes to 8 o'clock the foreman of the jury re turned into court, and stated .that the jury had agreed to their verdict, but that they required the legal assist ance of the coroner in drawing it up. The Coroner inquired whether there was any objection to his leaving the court for that purpose, and counsel on all sides having agreed that the request was perfectly reasonable under :the circumstances, the coroner accoid ingly went into the jury -room, where he remained for nearly a quarter. of an hour, at .the expiration of which period he came back again into court, stating that the jury would speedily make their appearance with their verdict, which they had unanimously resolved upon. At 20 minutes past 7 o'clock, that is to say in two hours and 55 minutes after they had retired to consider their verdict, the jury returned into court. Coroner—Have you agreed to your verdict, gentle men ? Foreman—We have. The verdict of the jury was then handed in, and read by the coroner. It stated that the jury upon their oaths said, " that the deceased, Thomas 'William Jelly, died at Clownings, in the parish of Whitchurch, on Wednes day, the sth of October, 1853, from injuries received by a collision on the Great Southern and Western Railway on that day. 'We find that the collision was caused by the negligence of James Gass, the engine driver, and John O'Hara, the stoker of the ' pick-up ' train ; we therefore find James Gass and John O'Hara guilty of the manslaughter of the said Thomas William Jelly." The Foreman then handed to the coroner the follow ing resolution to which he and his fellow-jurors had agreed :—" The jury were about to draw the atten tion of the directors of the Great Southern and Western Railway to some matters which require amendment and alteration in the working of their line, but as they are aware that the Government have sent over Lieutenant Tyler, the Government Inspector of Railways, to make an inquiry on the subject, they are exercising a wise dis cretion in leaving the matter in his hands, satisfied that he will make such a report as will effect the necessary changes. Having now brought this important and pain ful investigatign to a conclusion, we feel it incumbent on us to state that we havo minutely examined the rules and regulations which have been issued by the directors to their officials. It appears to us that those rules and regulations reflect the highest credit on the judgment of their authors, and that they are well calculated to secure the lives and property of the passengers. It is our conviction that no culpability can attach itself to the company on account of the late fatal collision ; but, on the contrary, we consider them fully entitled to that public confidence which they have hitherto enjoyed." Tho Foreman said that the jury had lost a great deal of time in the investigation, and he hoped they would be compensated for it by the grand jury. The Coroner said he was sorry to say that the grand jury had no power whatever to pay them. Mr. Fitzgibbon—l presume that the guard Berry is discharged ? Corcner—lie is discharged. Mr. Curran applied to the coroner to admit the en gine-driver and stoker to bail—most solvent bail would be given, and there would not be the slightest fear of their not answering to their recognisances. Coroner—lf I felt that I were legally entitled to take bail for them, I tell you candidly that I would do so ; but I believe I should not be warranted by law in such a course, and I must therefore leave you to apply to the Queen's Bench. Mr. Curran said, that in the event of an application being made to that court, he presumed he would be at liberty to state that the coroner would have willingly accepted bail had he felt himself authorised to do so. Coro n er—Certainly. The prisoners Gas; and O'Hara were then ordered to be committed for trial at the next Kildare assizes. THE CHARITABLE TRUST BOARD.—The new board, nominated under the act of last session, has not been formally opened. It is, however, expected, considering the vast property over which it has now jurisdiction, that business will be shortly commenced. SOUTHAMPTON, Tuesday, October 18.—The German steam-ship Hausa arrived here last night from New York bound for Bremen, for a supply of coals, having run short of fuel during her passage across the Atlantic. The Hausa has been furnished with the needful supplies by Messrs. Martineau, Croskey, and Co., the American agents, and will continue her voyage to the Weser on Wednesday morning (this day.) She left New York on the 4th instant, and her advices have consequently been anticipated by the Africa, at Liverpool. This fine steam-ship (formerly known as the American steamer United States) was in 1847 and 1848 em ployed on the New York, Southampton, and Havre line. and is over 2,000 tons burden, with 800-horse power, She was subsequently sold to the German Confede ration, and formed one of the so-called German fleet, which for a considerable time remained in unprofitable idleness in the North Sea. Towards the commencement of the present year, upon the disbanding of this force, the Hausa was sold for about one-tenth of her cost to a mercantile firm in Bremen, together with her consort the Britannia, originally one of the Cunard packets, but now called the Germania, and both ships have been fitted up as passenger and packet steamers, to form a monthly line between Bremen and the United States. They have accommodation for 500 or 600 passengers, and do a large business in carrying a better class of emigrants from Germany and northern Europe to the far west. The Hausa has only 35 passengers, and a large cargo for Bremen. - FOREIGN CRIMINALS IN PARlS.—Amongst the natives of foreign oountries arrested for crime of some kind or other in Paris during last year (1852), there were only thirty-three natives of Great Britain—a very small num ber indeed, when the large number of English who vi sited and resided in that capital is taken into account ; and which, as compared with the proportion of natives of other countries arrested for crime, gives us no cause to be ashamed of our national character. Of other foreigners arrested, the following numbers are given : Belgians, 441 ; Saxon Germans, 314 ; Hollanders, T 36 ; Prussians, 106 ; Swiss, 104 : Italians, 84 ; Bavarians, 65 ; Austrians, 39 ; Poles, '36 ; Spaniards, 29 ; Hes sians, Hungarians, Danes, of each 16 ; Swedes, 14 ; Persians, 5 ; Egyptians and Greeks, of each 2 ; and one Turk. STATISTICS OF CRIME IN AMERICA.—The latest na tional statistics of crime are found in the abstracts of the seventh census. From that it appears that the whole number of persons convicted of crime in the United States for the year ending June, 1850, was about 27,000 ; of these 13,000 were natives (including coloured prisoners), and 14,000 foreign born. By the same au thority, and to the same date, we are informed that our population was composed of 17,737,505 natives of its soil, 2,216,828 born in foreign coun t r i es , an d 30,314 whose nativity could not be determined. While we have, therefore, but about one foreign resident to nine native whites, there is a fraction over one foreign-born criminal to every native, including black and white. Such was the ratio of the crime in 1850, and there is no reason to suppose it has materially changed since that time. Aberdeen 100 Anflog. Nottng. Bost. and Eastn. Junct Birming.
