" Bank of England, Svt. 3, 1840." The Report. by the SAect Committee of the Howe of Commons on the curreir:y has been the strbject of some remark lately. It is extremely brief, and rcfcta chiefly to the rule of 1832. examinaticin of wit.. nesses is not concluded, and :,he evidence td.:en is not published. There is, therefore, little material given by it for discussion, and it is necessarily an imperfect do cument. It contains, however, an admission tram some of the Bank Directors, that they would have done better to have taken earlier steps to produce a restrictive ac tion on the circulation in 1838, when the drain had set steadily in upon them. Mr. Horsley Palmer and Mr. Norman say, on reference to the accounts of the Bank, that "it appears tba drain in the first quarter of 1838 fell almost entirely upon the deposits of the Bank, and in no degree upon the circulation." And the latter gentleman states, in answer to the question whether it would not have been expedient that the Bank should in that quarter have taken further steps to reduce the circulation, " If I ant asked now, with my present experience, whether it would not have been wise in the Bank to have taken earlier measures, I must say that I think it would have b een w i s e so to do." But the most important part of the report is the concluding paragraph, which throws overboard all con sideration of the point how far the rule of 183-) may have received the weight of Legislative sanction, ob liging the Bank to observe, as a general rule, that their securities, bearing in:crest should be kept at two thirds of their liabilities, and the remaining one-third in bullion and coin ; and expresses the clear opinion of the Committee, that such an impression on the part of the l3ank Directors ought not to prevent them from adopting any other principle of management which they may consider to be better adapted for the primary object of preserving, under all circumstances, the convertibility of their notes. There is nothing objectionable in the abstract prin ciple contained in this opinion, because any measure which shall give greater facility for the convertibility of Burk notes mint tend to improve the value of the cur rency ; but it seems rather questionah:e how far the Committee should have so widely exonerated the Directors frem allegiance to the rule of 1332, without effirding the public an opportunity of aeeine• the evi dence on which their opinion was founded ; and it appears rather unaccountable that the C ommittec should have declined to enter upon the question either of the sounduss of the rule itself, or of the degree of legislative sanction which it may have re ,eived, when the Directors ell than that they conceived it had rt caived some sort of 9d „46 3 . j; .45; No. 14.975.

The object for which this Company has been formed — namely, to enable every person to manufacture their own Ale and Porter of genuine Malt and Hops (an article of such para mount importance to the community A, large), without the usual requisite of brewing or the use 411rewing utensils, and to any strength or extent their station in life may require, at one •half the expense, and without troubli or loss of time, must strike every person as being of the greatest national importance, and that the most profitable results rntini arise from such an untie' t ak ing. To carry this desirable object into operation the projectors of this As=oci.ition, fully convinced of the efkacy of Jarvis's Patent Concentrated Extract of Malt and Hs, which requires but the simple and easy process of undergoin§ a fermentation, have made arrangements to secure its important advantages to the Company, and that benefit, so important to the public at large, which must result from its adoption. The simplicity of the process, the genuine and excellent quality of the Beer made from the Extract, and the reasonable price at which it can be obtained, resider it almost a matter of certainty that " The National Brewing Association," must ulti mately supersede all other brewing establishments, unless avail ing themselves of the advantages offered by this patent. An early Meeting of the Shareholders will be convened for the Election of Directors, Auditors, and other Officers. Applications for Shares, oil which 11. deposit must be paid, and for Prospectuses, may be made at the Offices of the Asso ciation, No. 17, New Bridge.street, where a specimen of the Extract may be seen : or to W.

By JAMES STANISLAUS BELL, Esq. Edward Moxon, Dover-street. (From the Merthyr Guardian.) Another discovery has been made of the scandalous manner in which the corn averages are fraudulently tampered with by the great corn speculators of Mark lane, so as to enhance artificially the prices of bread to the public, and at the same time reduce the rates of duty so as to facilitate their own imports of corn from abroad at low prices. By this doubly nefarious corn bination the unprincipled corn-factor ensures a double profit. That is, he is enabled to sell his corn dear and to buy it cheap. The injurious effect of these false re turns of purchases, by which the averages and the duty are regulated, is not, however, confined to that inflicted upon the poor and the public, but acts more preju dicially still upon the agricultural classes of the com munity. For having parted with their old stocks they are not benefited by the rise in prices on the one hand, whilst on the other, when their new wheats shall be ready for sale, the great corn monopolists arc enabled, by their large imports from abroad, to swamp the market at any moment so as to compel the farmers to make sale of their commodity at such rates as the fore stallers may find it convenient to impose. Of course these corn male-factors are, as might be expected, furious Corn-law repealers to a man, and their organs of the Anti-Corn-law, that is, \Vh g press, whilst defending with might and main the swindling operations by which the averages have been vitiated, do not hesitate to lay the fault on the Corn-laws and urge them as so many arguments for its repeal. Thus one of the ablest and most thorough-going of these Anti- Corn-law scribes, The Sun, in the course of its diatribes against Mr. Handley, one of the Members for Lincoln shire, whose letter denouncing these frauds on the eve rages, appeared in the Bristol Mirror, goes the length of rejoicing in their commission, and encourages to their repetition ; affirming, moreover, that as they are the results of Corn-law legislation, therefore that the only way to remedy the evil is to abolish the laws. The Morning Chronicle and Globe, both Minis terial papers, follow with the same sort of logic, though urged with interior ability. Upon the same principle the felon might as well plead in mitigation of sentence that his crime was the consequence of laws against house-breaking, or the robber assassin ou the Queen's highway that murder was the corollary deducible from the divine command, " Thou shalt do no murder."

To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ulthmtely the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real cause of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if not relinquished.

The TURKISH HAIR BALSAM is the preparation of OTHMAN MUSTAPH A, Surgeon-Barber to Abdul-Medjid, Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, by whom the Advertisers are authorised to make known this valuable dis covery. The miraculous properties of MUST APH A'S BAL SAM are unrivalled ; the trial of a single bottle willtremove the doubts of the most sceptical. In the course of a few days the young Hair may be clipped with fine scissars. For the Growth of Eyebrows, Whiskers, and Mustachios, and for lengthening anti beautifying the Hair, its effect is surprising. In use it will be found singularly agreeable, and as a dressing for Real or False Hair, surpa , ses any thing hitherto known. A Depot having been established in London, at No. 10, Maddox-street.

EXTRAORDINARY LONGEVITY.-- Died, on the 27th of August, at Domore, county Kildare, at the ad vanced age of one hundred and thirty-three years, Mrs. Martha Rerke. We copy the following just remarks from a letter written (roar Paris to an Evening Contemporary : PARIS, SEPT. I.—The Constitutionnel is very angry that I should have contradicted the first lie of the Univers, about the baptism of BLOOD AND GLORY, and corrects what it calls my mis-statements of a difference between the King and his Ministry. The Constilu tionnel, however, takes care not to quote the passage which it contradicts, for that would not have answered its purpose. Supposing me to have said as the Consti• tutionnel asserts I did, that Louis Philippe was " in flagrant hostlity with his Ministry," it is very easy, by the credence of a contradiction to this statement, to throw discredit over the whole of my previous asser tions as to the desire of the King for the maintenance of peace. I did not say that the King was "in flag rant hostility with his Ministry." I merely mentioned the existence of a rumour in high circles that the King was not pleased with the whole of M. Thiers's policy ; but I did say that the reported conversation between Louis Philippe and the Minister of War, in which the King was made to say that the Orleans family must have its baptism of BLOOD AND GLORY, was a wicked invention—and the Constitutionnel dare not contradict my assertion. That story was too gross even for the Constitutionnel to copy ; but it did copy the subsequent story of the Univers, in which the King is made to use insulting and most ungentlemanly expressions when speaking of Lord Palmerston—and so did nearly all the Ministerial Journals. This story was as great a lie as the " BLOOD AND GLORY" story, and it was a base libel upon the King to say that he had used such expressions ; but there was an object to gain. It was considered necessary to identify the King with the brawlers for war, and the organs of those brawlers did net care how much they degraded royalty, how much they lowered the character of Louis Philippe as a gentleman in order to accomplish that object. They knew that the King, coerced by the war-cry, could not openly deny their assertions; they knew that there were not two journals of the whole of the Paris press which would venture to claim for him the respect due to him as a monarch and a gentleman ; and even now the Constitutionnel, whilst it is compelled to ad mit that " there is more than one error in the second story of the Univers," unblushingly asserts that if the King did not use the words attributed to him by that journal, he is animated by the feeling which those words imply. I repeat, and Ido so with a tho rough knowledge of the truth, that the King has never ceased to express his ardent desire for the mainte nance of peace, and that he has never used the lan guage, or anything like the language, put into his mouth by the Ministerial Journals. Do I mean, in as serting this, to say that Louis Philippe has been in sensible to what is due to national dignity ? Do I mean to impute to him a want of energy, an absence of firmness as regards foreign Powers ? Nu. On the contrary, I know that although he may be as deeply impressed with the conviction as I am, that the men who urge the French nation to war are the enemies of his dynasty, and that the war, to be even for a time successful, must be Republican, and therefore danger ous to him and to his family, he would not hesitate to place himself at the head of the war party, if any sacrifice of honour or dignity were to be demanded by other Powers as the condition of the duration of peace. I have merely opposed fact to falsehood, and have not for a moment supposed that any honest and right minded man would consider it an imputation upon the patriotism or courage of Louis Philippe, to say that. he was desirous of peace. In asse:ting that he had not declared a baptism of BLOOD AND GLORY to be necessary for his dynasty, and that he bad not, in a public audience to foreign Ambassadors, used expressions towards them, their sovereigns, and their sovereigns ministers, which never could have found a place in the mouth of a gentle man, I did but say what I knew to be the truth ; and if it be a libel to say that Louis Philippe is a gentleman, and not an ambitious cut-throat —if it be a libel to say that a man whose life has been that of a philanthre pist had not declared himself to be a partisan of mas sacre for the sake of personal a mbition—then I am, and glory in being, a libeller. If Louis Philippe had said what the Ministerial Papers had imputed to him, he would have been a hypocrite, and worse than a hypocrite ; for did he not declare at Boulogne, to the English Consul and to Mr. Tuffnell, that he was most anxious to avert the necessity for war ? Could any thing be stronger than his expressions to those gentle men'? No. Well, then, place those expressions in juxtaposition with the assertions of the ministerial press, and allow those assertions to be true, and who will say that Louis Philippe is not a hypocrite? But they are not true. In all his conversations with foreign Ambassadors he has held firm, dign.fied, gen tlemanly, and pacific language. I happen to know some of the precise words used by him to one of these Ambassadors in two interviews. They were strong ; they were honourable to him as the head of a great nation ; but they were not the words of the chief of a republican faction. He unhesitatingly admitted, that although the susceptibility of the French might be considered by foreign Powers as too great, he could not but respect it ; he d ec l are d, h owever that his dearest wish was to maintain peace, and that no personal sacrifice would be considered by him as too great for such a blessing. The sacrifice which he could not and would not make, be said, was that of national ' honour. Did he use offensive and insulting expres sions towards the sovereigns with whom he is in alliance, or their ministers ? No, a thousand times no. And base are the calumniators who have represented him to have used such language. Did he talk of dy• nastic ambition—of blood and glory ? No! Indeed how could he have done so ? To him France owes all her real greatness—all the extension of her internal and foreign commerce, the improvement of her roads, the increase, splendour, and comfort of her towns. and her general progress of civilization. The blood and glory days are gone by ; and let the French calmly and soberly ask themselves what they produced—towns grown over with grass, or choked with filth—roads which had become impassable—ports without com merce—canals without navigation—an impoverished treasury—and the annoying and expensive climax of military occupation. Such were the results of blood and glory ! Let those who knew Paris, the capital of the empire, in the glori ous days of Napoleon, as they are called, look at it now. In those days it was without a foot pavement, without a gas-light, without a sewer. It is now clean, commodious, and elegant. Who made Paris what it is ? Napoleon? No : Louis Philippe. Go to Havre, to Bordeaux, to Marseilles, to Nantes, see the improve ments there—the splendid mansions which have risen up, the extensive warehouses which have been built, the inflowings of wealth, and the thousand results of peaceful industry which are there displayed, and ask who cre ated them. Did they all arise put of a dream of mili tary glory ? No : they are the results of peace, and nine-tenths of them are due to the pacific and enlight ened reign of Louis Philippe ! The report of a kind of adjournment of the Eastern question, during which new negotiations may be carried on, gains grounds, but it is not yet admitted by the Go vernment papers to be well-founded. There is, how ever, an almost general belief in respectable quarters that something of this nature will take place, and that in this way an honourable compromise will be effected. I am sorry to observe, however, that the most infamous things arc being published in Paris against the English, and urging the people to war. In one pamphlet the author has the atrocity, among other things, to charge the English Government with having been the assassins of General Kleber. It was not to be expected that, amid so much excitement, the Republicans would not go a great way in their abuse ; but I trust that if such infamous publications as the pamphlets which now ap pear should become general, the Government will insti tute a prosecution, and show that, although it may be permitted for Governments to differ on points of Euro pean policy, it is not permitted to speak of the English of as a nation of murderers. FRENCH A RMAMENTS.—The Cherbourg J our nal mentions the launching in that port, on the 28th ultimo, of the Somme transport, pierced for 40 guns. Orders have been received there for launching the Tilsit and Henry IV. of the line, by the commencement of next year, and for pushing on the works of the Austerlitz as much as possible. Great exertions are making to get the Friedland ready for sea. The Armoricain of Brest states that the levy of sailors in maritime districts and ports is ordered to be extended from men who have previously served less than three years in the navy, to those who have served less than four. The Loire transport has just been launched at Brest. CHIMNEYS.—The fact cannot be too generally known, that if, when a chimney is built, the mortar with which it is to be plastered be mixed with salt, there will be no necessity for sweeping it, as in every damp spell of weather the salt deliquesces, and the soot will of course fall down. A chimney which was treated in the above manner 29 years ago has been in use every winter since. Part of the time a fire-place was used w i t h a grate and bituminous coal, but now with a stove and wood. The stove-pipe frequently catches fire, which is suffered to urn in the chimney without apprehension of danger.-13trnanS ham Advertiser. The Russian Consul-General at Stettin has pub lished the following notice in the journal of that town:— " The Russian Government, which , i.. 1935, forbade cap tains, passengers, and crews of sh i p s arriving in Finland from foreign countries, to bring any letters er public jour nals, has now interdicted the introduction from abroad, either under seal or in open covers, with or without ad dress, any paper money whatever, under the penalty of having the same seized, and the bearers treated as smugglers." IMeS it not unfrequently occurs, indeed, that the example of crime in others, notwithstanding the severity of penal enactments for its repression, operates irresistibly to its repetition and imitation, as sometimes we see a rapid succession of murders in the metropolis in the shortest space of time, where before there had not been one for years, as if malaria or contagion afflicted the moral at mosphere at the special period. The Sun insists that the Corn-laws act unfavourably for labour, by limiting the demand for it in mines and manufactories, for the products of which there would be an increased vent abroad in return for corn imported. And also that labour should not be expended on inferior soils at home, when corn can be more cheaply produced abroad. It is not necessary to reply to the put ely hypo thetical assumption of the increased demand for pro ducts, and therefore of the producing power also, which it is pretended must follow the abolition of Corn-laws. Experience so far has demonstrated the utter fallacious ness of the pretence. But surely it must be most ad vantageous for the country, for the whole community, that the home market for labour should be extended the most widely possible, and that as one of the means all the inferior soils possible should be taken into cultivation so as to provide the means of labour. The cost of that labour is a fraction of addition to price which can be no loss to the nation, but which, on the contrary, is re turned to it tenfold in the expenditure of wages, con sumption of commodities, and savings of poor's rates. This is a branch of the subject which:our London Con temporary of the Morning Herald has handled with his usual ability. Vie Sun moreover contends resolutely that all the distress now existing is traceable solely to the operation of the Corn-laws, which it is pretended make bread dear. In order to make out this proposition, it will be necessary to prove in years of abundant harvests cheap bread there was absolutely no distress at all ; for else his argument is no better than reductio ad absur dum. For example, was there no misery when wheat ranged from 30s. to 40s. per quarter only, from lowest to highest, during successive years not long past? But if dear corn or bread is the sole cause of distress here, and therefore referable to Corn-laws, how hap pens it that in other countries, with and without Corn laws, where bread is greedy cheaper, that want and misery prevail more extensively still ? Take France for example, where the following description of the state of the large manufacturing town of .Lille is given from ocular inspection and verification by Dr. Vlllerme, dele gated for the purpose of inquiring into the condition of tho manufacturing popu!ation by the French Institute. The special year, 1837, was one, too, of flourishing trade : Towards the close of 1837 the paupers of the city of Lille were calculated at 22,205. As the (whole) population, which appears not to have increased for several years - past, ia eatimated at 70,000 sou's, or thereabouts, this would give four paupers upon ever) thirteen persons. " In a note Dr. Villerme adds that many persons in Lille assured him that the number of paupers in Lille amounted to 30,000." In addition to this, if The Sun would know how the manufacturing districts of France exist, we add the details as published by the same authority in respect of those of Mulhausen and its vicinity, in the rich province of Alsace, where the cotton trade is better paid, and better cloths made, and the inhabitants more wealthy than at Lille. " For the poorer workpeople, such as those of the factories, loom-shops, &c., the food consists commonly of potatoes, as the basis, soup maigre (that is thin soup made of vegotables), a little bad milk, bail pastry, and of bread, the latter generally of good quality. They never see meat or drink wine (sour after all) except on pay-day or the day after, that is to say twice a month (wages being paid no oftener). " Those whose position is better, or, who having no charge, gain per day from 20 to 35 sous (10d. or 171-d.), add to this regimen other vegetables, and sometimes a little meat." Is The Sun answered ? If not we have more evidence at hand for its conviction. But for the present we shall conclude with the following extract front an American review, from which we may learn that manufacturing labour is not, even in the United States, quite so envi able a desideratum as he, in his ignorance, seems disposed o assume : " THE FACTORY SYSTEM.—We pass through our manufacturing villages. Most of them appear neat and flourishing. The operatives are well dressed, and, we are told, well paid. They are said to be healthy, contented, and happy. This is the fair side of the picture, the side ex hibited to distinguished visitors. There is a dark side, moral as well as physical. Of the common operative!, few, if any, by their wages, acquire a competence. A few of what Carlyle terms not inaptly the body servants are well paid, and now and then an agent or overseer rides in his coach ; but the great mass wear out their health, spirits, and morals, without becoming one bit better off than when they commenced labour. The bills of mortality in these factory villages are not strik ing, we admit, for the poor girls when they an toil no longer, go home to die. The average life, working life we mean, of the girls that come to Lowel, for instance, from Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont, we have been assured, is only about three years. What becomes of them then ? Few of them ever marry, fewer still ever return to their native places with reputation un impaired. She has worked in a factory,' is almost enough to damn to infamy the most worthy and vir tuous girl. " We know no sadder sight on earth than one of our factory villages presents, when the bell at break of day, or at the hour of breakfast or dinner, calls out hundreds or thousands of operatives. We stand and look at these hard working men and women hurrying in all directions, and ask ourselves where go the proceeds of their labours? The man who employs them, and for whom they are toiling as so many slaves, is one of our city nabobs, revel ling in luxury, or he is a Member of our Legislature, en acting laws to put money in his own pocket ; or he is a Member of Congress, c ontending for a high tariff to tax the poor for the benefit of the rich ; or in these times he is shedding crocodile tears over the deplorable condition of the poor labourer, while he docks his wages twenty-five per cent. ; building miniature log-cabins, shouting Ha rrison and hard cider.'

It will be noted, how ever, how very slow and almost imperceptible is the reaction in prices to something like their standard be fore the fall commenced, and therefore it may be as sumed that much distrust and susceptibility still lingers about the market. Letters from Paris represent the settlement of ac count to be proceeding on the whole much more fa vourably than was expected. So far no failures had been reported, at least none worth speaking about, although it may be expected that several of the more insignificant fry of speculators have gone to the wall after such confusion and fall in prices. One of the largest operators for the rise, a party not necessary to name, because not known here, was, as it is techni cally expressed on the Paris Bourse, " slain," that is, having held aloof till almost the last moment, in hopes of a favourable change in the market, he was finally compelled to go in when most against him, and sell his stock at the lowest rates of the day, as taking it in was out of the question. The Three per Cents. had descended to 79f. 40c. when he was thus brought to a compulsory sale. This depression was a proof of the large amounts of stock weighing upon the market. A great banking operator was so heavy of stock that be was carrying over as much as possible, although the rates of continuation to the September account were somewhat considerable ; on Five per Cents.so centimes were generally paid, and on Three per Cents. 3.5 centimes. Monday being the day for the declaration and regula tions of options, Tuesday w as occupied entirely in the liquidation of the account in Consols and home stocks. Yesterday was the settlement in foreign stocks and shares, which was likely, in proportion to amount, to be a more difficult operation than that in domestic funds. For money was extremely difficult to be obtained on foreign stocks and shares, and the rates current ranged from 15 to 25 per cent. POST.—We find nothing in the notice of the Bank of England to distinguish it from the one issued last quarter, except that stock is not included as a deposit upon which advances will be made. Great Western Railway Shares were 22 to 23 prem.; ditto (new) Sto prcm. ; Birmingham, 77 to 78 prem.: Eastern Counties, 134 to di:. ; and South Eastern and Dover, G to per share. Public opinion has now for three or four years past been brought to bear so strongly upon the conduct of unprincipled foreign loan contracting countres, and the London and Paris agencies by whom they have been so unnaturally assisted in their depredations in both capitals. that the evil is, to a very considerable ex tent, put a stop to. Several of the States who have borrowed millions in England, but who are base enough to withhold from the lenders the payment of the mode rate int rest arising upon such borrowings, to the ruin of many families, have still what they call " financial commissioners" planted among us to conduct certain minor negotiations for them, and in this way we fancy their liabilities are perpetually increased in one shape or another ; for, as we have before remarked, it is impos- sible to say exactly what is going on so long as the divi dends are suspended. Money is, however, no more to be obtained openly, and upon a large scare, for the use of the Governments in default. TIMES.—Some doubt existed whether this, which is one of the usual periodical notices for affording aeco modation by the Bank during the shutting of the divi dends, would include Exchequer Bills and India Bonds. which it has usually been the policy of the Bank to do issues. As they intended to keep a check up on the As these securities are included, it is inferred that the Bank feels not such necessity, and the effect has been felt in the prices of public securities. A private letter from St. Pctershurgh, dated the 11th of August, adverting to the failure of Mr. Joseph Pir ling, the banker, to the amount of 2,000,000 rubles, states that the principal losers by this failure are seve ral wealthy Polish fatailics who had deposited not only money but also plate and j'wels. Among them arc the Countess Plater, M. Keraiwicki, M. Bugnicki, General Czarowski, and Count Walicki. SUN.—The notice from the Bank of England to-day. gave satisfaction to the mercantile interests of the City, a- d caused the funds to close rather more firmly. The advance in the grain averages is likely to cause a tem porary demand for mcney to complete the payments into the Exchequer, but when that is over, it will no doubt be more easy again. Consols left off at 89i for present transfer, at:d 90-4- buyers for the account. Exchequer Bills remained at 17s. to 19s. premium ; Bank Stock at 169. (the transfer books close to-morrow) , i and the New Thrce-and-a-half per Cents. at 984 to t.
