MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) Renshaw was indicted for stealing a purse, containing a sovereign, a half•crown, and a shilling, the property of James Lockhart, Esq. The prosecution was instituted at the instance of the London and North- Western Railway Company. Mr. PRENDERGAST, who appeared for the railway company, stated the facts, from which it appeared that on Saturday morning last, about eleven o'clock, the pro secutor was waiting outside the door of the ticket office at the Euston-square station, when he felt a twitch at his skirt coat pocket, in which he had placed his purse a few minutes before. He turned round and saw the pri soner standing close behind him. On finding that his purse had been taken, he seized the prisoner, as he was the only person who could possibly have robbed him. Between the spot where Mr. Lockhart's pocket was picked and the place where he laid hold of him, a young gentleman, named Henry Donaldson Nichol son, was standing with his mother, waiting to get their tickets. This young gentleman was a a scholar of Westminster School, and the son of a highly respectable clergyman of the Church of England, and his character must be above suspicion, and in about five minutes after the robbery was committed he put his hand into the outside pocket of his great coat which was very wide and open at the top, and there fonnd the pro secutor's purse. The prisoner in going away from where he first stood to where he was taken must have passed him, and it was very easy for the prisoner when he found himself accused of the robbery to have dropped the purse into his pocket. The Learned Counsel saki, this was a usual trick with the more expert swell-mobs men, and he recollected one case which occurred at a meeting at the Freemasons' Tavern, where Mr. Pownall, the chairman of their bench of magistrates, had his pocket picket, and the purse was found in the pocket of Mr. Puckle, another Middlesex magistrate. Mr. Lockhart and young Mr. Nicholson having con firmed the statement of the Learned Counsel, a railway constable deposed to having seen the prisoner frequently before lingering about the station without having any apparent business. The jury retired, and after a long consultation brought in a verdict of Not Guilty. As the prisoner was leaving the dock, The Learned JUDGE said—Go along, sir, you have had a narrow escape. You had better look sharp for the future. I know a little more about you than the jury. The prisoner winked knowingly, and made a low bow to the judge. MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.) FRACAS' AT THE OPERA.—Mr. George Carnaby, a gentleman residing at No. 21, Bermondsey-square, wss charged before Mr. Bingham with assaulting Mr. Henry Littler, and tearing his coat. The complainant, who is a gentleman of property, re siding at Waltham Abbey, stated that on the previous night, about eleven o'clock, he was in the pit of the Opera House, in the Hay-market. At the conclusion of the opera, he tock a seat upon one of the benches, having previously been standing. He had no sooner taken his seat than the defendant came up to him. and, in an imperious tone, desired him to leave it. He re fused to quit the seat, when the defendant laid hold of him by the collar of his coat, and attempted to pull him out. In the struggle that ensued, the defendant tore his (complainant's) coat in such a manner as to render the garment totally useless. With the assistance of a gen tleman who was sitting close to them, complainant gave him into custody. The defendant, in reply to the charge, said that after the opera was over he had occasion to leave his scat for a short time, and on his return he was surprised to find it occupied by complainant, whom in a polite manner he requested to leave the seat. He refused to do so, and behaved in a very jeering manner towards him. Such conduct certainly annoyed him, and in the excitement of the moment he laid hold of complainant's coat collar which in the struggle got torn. Mr. William Hills, 5, Ilarleyford-place, Kennington, said that on the preceding night he was in the pit of the Opera House, in company with defendant. After the opera was concluded he (defendant) had occasion to leave his seat, and during his absence complainant requested permission to sit, which was granted upon his (com plainant's) consenting to give it up on defendant's re turn. Complainant subsequently refused to do so, when a struggle took place, which ended in complainant's coat being torn and defendant being given into custody. Mr. BINGHAM said that complainant was rather too hasty in taking possession of the vacant seat. He should have waited for a few minutes in order to enable the original possessor to return, when if he did not he might take the seat, without outraging the courtesy generally adopted amongst the frequenters of the opera. The defendant, who no doubt felt much annoyed, had acted with a deal of indiscretion and undue haste in laying hold of complainant's coat collar, and he (Mr. Bingham) thought under all the circumstances of the case, that the matter should proceed no further, and that if defendant paid for the damage done to the coat, he had no doubt, complainant would be satisfied. The complainant at once consented to abide by the Magistrate's decision, and the defendant having paid for the damage done to the torn garment, the parties thanked the Magistrate, and left the court. Castellan-aand then the exquisitely delicious air, ‘.l)eh ! vieni non tardar," which, for sonic unaccountable reason, Grisi has recently chosen to omit whenever she has appeared as Susannah, althoutrh it is one of the most exquisite morceaux of the opera. It was deliciously given by Jenny Lind, in the true Mozartian spirit, and was rapturously encored Staudigl's Figaro is, without exception, the very best on the stage. Witty, sarcastic, full of life and spirit, he is forced to exhibit, as himself says, more sci ence, talent, acuteness, and diplomacy to earn a subsistence, than would have sufficed to govern a kingdom. Mozart entered thoroughly into the spirit of Figaro, and has interpreted it in the most expressive and joyous music to be found in the whole range of the lyrical drama, and Staudigl thoroughly appreciates Mozart, and thoroughly enjoys inter preting him. His "Se vuol ballare" was superb, and his " Non piu andrai " per fection. It is needless to say it was rapturously encored. Lablache's Bartolo was glo rious, he gave "La Vendetta" magnificently. Ma dame Castellan was exceedingly interesting as the Countess, and sung the music of the part with exqui site taste and feeling. Coletti acted the Count admi rably ; he was, however, unfortunately suffering from a severe horseness (for which apology was made) which occasionally marred his vocal efforts. The choruses were excellently given, and the orchestra was all that could be desired. Among those present we observed the Duchess of Somerset, the Earl of Liverpool, his Excellency the Russian Minister and Mdlle. Olga de Lechner, Madame de Martchenho, the Baroness de Matzoff and Mdlle. d'Ouprelle, the Viscount Canterbury, the Prince Troubetskoi, Lord Brabazon, Lord Rokeby, Lady Curtis, Lady Mey rick, Lady Lawley, Lady Walker, Sir Frederick french, Baron Nicolay, M.

LITERATURE. FAUST : a Phantasia. Edited by Carl Simrock. Translated by D. I. P. DralieArd. The phantochini exhibition in the streets, with Mr. Punch, his exemplary wife Judy, his baby, his dog Toby (supposed to belong to somebody else), the obstinate gentleman who won't believe that a tin kettle is an organ, and the distinguished foreigner, who is always crying out " shullaballah !" no more conveys a notion of the witty publication edited by Mark Lemon, than this Phantasia, called " Faust," affords one an idea of the colossal drama of Goethe. And yet for a similar reason we entertain a sneaking affection for the old puppet show of Punch, and for the old puppet play of Faust. Although both of them are almost equally devoid of merit, they both demand our regard, as having been suggestive of something better. In this respect we cannot but look upon Mr. Drakeford's English version of the German phantasia of Faust with particular interest. Compared with the masterpiece of Goethe, itis what the acorn is to the full-grown oak, or what the key-note is to one of Beethoven's symphonies. It is the seed from which sprung the stem, and the foliage, and the flowers, and the fruit. It is the dust thrown into the air by the expiring Gracchi, which became transformed into Marius. One scene at least in this skeleton of the ultimately perfect drama is capital—we mean the one in which Caspar entertains the spirits, crying out, Perlippe (and the spirits appear), and Perlappe (and the spirits disappear). The book, however, is mainly worthy of perusal as the precursor of a poem which stands alone among dramatic compositions. SYLVAN'S PICTORIAL HANDBOOK TO THE CLYDE AND ITS WATERING-PLACES. Another of this charming series of guides to the most picturesque, and consequently the most fre quented localities in the British islands has just ap peared. After depicting the scenery of the lakes of Cumberland, Sylvan here delineates both with pen and pencil the peculiarities of the Clyde and its tribu taries. Nor is the change from the inland beauties of England to one of the noblest estuaries of Scotland in any way uninviting. Royalty, as the world goes, can set the fashion for any extravagance. Many imitators of the Court have, doubtless, from the pure principle of mimicry, favoured Caledonia with periodical visits because Victoria has evinced a par tiality for such northern excursions. Yet, were the Queen to proceed, invariably, in a totally op posite direction, the Clyde would by no means be in peril of desertion. No matter whether the denizens of Hockley-in-the •Hole or of the purlieus of Pimlico, the inhabitants of Bloomsbury or Mayfair, betrayed either a partiality for, or a prejudice against the straths and glens of Scotland, there would be no fear that they would want either visitors or strangers. People go as naturally to the Clyde and its watering-places for beautiful scenery and an in vigorating atmosphere, as coal-whippers go to Newcastle or " Gents" to the Casino. Sylvan has therefore pourtrayed in this little volume one of the most exquisite spots in the United Kingdom. Two ex cellent maps by J. Johnstone, and .a profusion of deli cate woodcuts by Messrs. Thomas and Edward Gilks, are scattered through the letter-press, and very materially enhance the value of the work as a guide or handbook. Every one who journeys to the Clyde —and thousands are just now preparing for the trip —will find in this volume a pleasant and intelligent companion. It is, in effect, a perpetual fingerpost, and a source of amusement throughout the excursion. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of Aug. 17.) SUGAR, —To-day there was less demand for raw Sugar, not only for home consumption, but also for ex port, and for inferior sorts p rices again went down, which is a matter of surprise; whilst for the better kinds previous rates were not g enerall y sustained; of all sorts there is a greater quantity on offer. The amount of business transacted in West India Muscovado was to a small extent only, either for the scale or re fining purposes, and the private sales did not exceed 300 hhds and trcs ; the better sorts mostly brought the rates that existed on Friday, but for d inferior an brown rather lower rates were accepted. A public sale of 150 hhds 11 trcs Barbadoes went off with heaviness, and at a decline of 6d per cwt on the middling sorts, but the better kinds sustained the former value. REFINED.—To day refined goods were offered at fur ther reduced rates, still few buyers were to be met with. The value of Brown Lumps is 53s to 545, and of Standard Lumps 51s 6d to 555. The market is in a dull state for Bonded Crushed Sugar, and 31s 6d to 32s per cwt is the value of the fine. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon white Benares met with less attention, and 1,298 bags at auction sold at a fall on former rates of is, good went at 46s to 46s 6d, good mid 45s 6d, mid 43s 6d to 44s 6d, low dingy 42s to 435, good soft yellow 41s, good strong 44s 6d, damp and washed 41s to 455. Of Madras, 109 bags fetched 32s 6d for low damp yellow, being is lower. MAURITIUS.—this afternoon there were two public sales, consisting of 5,234 bags, 20 casks, and 17 brls ; the whole sold.

TEA.—Privately a fair amount of business has been done in Congou at former rates. Of Pouchong some parcels have been sold at 5d to Bd, whilst Souchong met with a fair sale. The good and fine qualities of Green are required, and many parcels have been sold at about last Tuesday's rates, but for the lower sorts the market has been in a dull state, and some merchants are inclined to take rather lower prices on account of the large stock. Scented Orange Pekoe has been in fair request at is 2a to is 10d for middling to fine, and plain Orange 8d to 10d per lb. At public sale the quantity offered has been 7,786 pkgs, and of which 2,750 were sold. Cantun made, Imperial, and Gunpowder went at a decline on former rates of ld, but all other sorts of Tea mostly sustained the former value. For public sales 13,000 packages are declared. SAGO is little wanted, and 116 boxes at public sale today were is per cwt decline, fine small Pearl went at 19s 6d to 20s, good 19s to 19s 6d, middling 18s Gd. Of Jamaica Arrowroot 100 tins were sold at 8d per lb. RICE.—To-day there was little desire shown to pur chase East India Rice, although there were sellers upon further reduced terms. At auction only a small part of stiffer 2,662 bags Bengal sold. Of Madras, 2,000 bags were nearly all bought in at lower rates.

Helen Bade was charged with being found in the area of the dwelling-house of Mrs. Clare, No. 75, Nicholl square, Hackney-road, for an unlawful purpose, at half past one this morning. Police-constable 425 N, stated that he was on duty, and observed the prisoner loitering about the door of Mrs. Clare. He watched her for a short time, but, perceiving that she had been seen, she left the square. Witness proceeded on his beat. On returning to the same spot in Nicholl-square, he perceived the prisoner down the area of Mrs. Clare's house. Witness asked her what she did there. She replied that she had been in the service of Mrs. Clare about two months since, and wanted to see her about her character. Witness then took her into custody, and subsequently learned that it was twelve months since she had been in the employment of Mrs. Clare, and had been discharged for repeated acts of dis honesty. The prisoner, who is not more than twenty-two years of age, said she went there to see her late mistress. Mr. llAmmiLL—What, at that hour in the morning ! I shall commit you to the House of Correction for four teen days.—Committed accordingly. HER MAJESTY S THEATRE. Notwithstanding the close of the season, notwith , standing the heat of the weather, there was as great a crowd anxiously awaiting the hour for the opening of the doors of her Majesty's Theatre last night, as there has been on any other Jenny Lind night during the sea son, and it is not surprising that such should have been the case—Jenny Lind was to appear for the first time in the character of Susannah, in the par ex celence greatest of comic operas, Le Nozze di Figaro, and she was to be supported by Staudigl as Figaro, Lablache as Bartolo, Colletti as the Count, and Madame Castellan as the Countess. Had Mozart lived in these our days, and had he been desirous of " fitting" Jenny Lind with a part, he would have written his Susannah just as we find it in his chef d'oeuvre. Beaumarchais, when he originally wrote the character, must hare had a vision of Jenny Lind in his imagination—La charmante fille toe fours riante, verdixsante, pleine de gaite, d'esprit, d'amour et de delices ! mais sage. Such is his description of the Susannah, which he intended to draw, and such is the description of the Susannah which Jenny bind pre sented to the audience of her Majesty's Theatre last night. She was perfect, the very Susannah of the composer and of the author—the only perfect Su sannah that h as ever appeared, inasmuc h as s h e i s th e only representative e has,i n nly representativ e of the character in our time who herrra ownperperson, delineation combined of all th thee character essential Shere - quisites is youn g (and without youth you can never have a i Susannah, a Beatrice, or a D onna Vi o l an t e —i mag i ne instant a fat old B • highest degree that Beatrice), and possesses in the which is the t?ingled simplicity and archness She is the essen t ialgreatest characteristic of Susannah. as well as the greatestactress at pre s ent li v i ng , she may thank her G musician, and (f or w hi c h she understands and German musical education) because she understands appreciates M ozart ; and an sings his score fairly andd appr ec i ates h i m, she omission and without inter cl •honestli without freshness and originality a E on a t tio irli . r 'here is a Susannah which is really delightfuler deli nea ti on of the Susannah of her predecessors, alt is n o t lik e duction of venerable stage traditio ns repro from nature, original, and, therefore, delighltsfual.stVy never attempts to make hits, never o'erst e p s the mhoe desty of nature, never is vulgar or boisterous, and has shown in her Susannah , as she had before shown in her Maria, how much more effective comedy is when feminine grace is preserved throughout than when . boisterous vulgarity is permitted to usurp its place. The curtseying duet with Marcellina was charmingly given, as was the . scene with the Count and Cherubino in the first act. There is something exceedingly natural in the manner in which the real feeling of terror in this scene gets the better of the put-on look of wonder at the discovery icf Che rubino behind the chair. The great taiumph, of this, the earlier portion of the opera, was the finale of the first act, which was superbly rendered by all concerned ; and at the conclusion of which the whole of the performers were called before the curtain. The triumph par excellence of the night, however, was the quartet in the second act, between Susannah, Marcellina, Figar o , an d B ar t o l o . O ur readers may imagine what a rich treat it must have been to have thus heard Jenny bind and Staudigl and Lablache, (each, in their particular department, the greatest s v r as g er in the wo r ld) s i ng i ng together. T hi s quarte t encored three times—a circumstance almost un precedented in the annals of the opera. After this came the exquisite duet, " Sull' aria," delightfully, tastefully, truthfully, honestly sung —sung even as it was written by Mozart, by Jenny Lind and Madame NER.D,AY ..„ ante for all kinds, but any improvement in prices has been prevented by the large supply. The public sales havo been well attended ; buyers were desirous to purchase Colonial, and neatly the whole passed the hammer up to the present time has actually been sold. The rates ob tained have been equal to those of the last auctions, al though the quantity declared was very large, amounting to 30,000 bales. Oils.—All descriptions of Southern Oil arc wanted, and the rates paid are equal to those that existed pre viously. Privately some parcels have been sold, and at auction 60 tuns all found buyers. Cod has been sold to a fair extent at 271 5s to 271 103, but for arrival sales can be made under these rates. Holders of seal mani fested firmness, and for pale the demand is good at 271 10s, indeed for small quantities 271 10s to 281 have been obtained. Other sorts move off steadily. Sperm has met with attention, and the parcels scld privately were at previous rates. At auction 43 tuns found buyers. There are further arrivals of Fish Oils, but the con sumption is going on satisfactorily. The market for Linseed Oil has assumed a quiet appearance, and there being a better supply a fall in prices of 6d per cwt has taken place; exporters and the home trade have operated with caution, and 27s 3d per cwt is the quotation on the spot. For forward delivery purchases to a fair extent have been made in consequence. TALLaw.—The purchases made in Russian on the spot have been limited by the town and country trade, and the rates taken are 47s 6d for old, and 47s 9d to 48s for New Petersburgh Yellow Candle of first quality, upon which terms there are ready sellers. For de livery there are few buyers to be met with, although fine Petersburgh Yellow Candle can be ob tained at 47s at the end of the month, and at 46s 6d per cwt for the last three months of the year. Rome-made is little wanted. For other kinds of Tallow the market is in a dull state, and prices are on the decline. THE CORK AND WATERFORD RAILWAY. -- The second half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday, at one o'clock. Dr. Bowring, M.P. took the chair, in the absence of the chairman, Mr. Thomas Wyse. Not more than half-a-dozen share holders were present. The seal of the company having been affixed to the Registry of Proprietors, The SECRETARY then read the report, from which the following are extracts : " The directors having maturely considered the position and the prospects of the company, determined upon making a call of 1/. per share, payable on or before the 29th of September, 1847, for the purpose of under taking that portion of the line of railway which extends from Waterford to Tramore, a distance of about eight miles, which, as they are advised, can be constructed for about the sum of 95,0001., viz.: earthwork, masonry, &c., 40,0001. ; plant, carriages, and stations, 45,0001. ; pur chase of land, 10,0001. It is intended for the present, that a single line only be made, but the earthworks will be so constructed as to be available for a double line, should that be deemed hereafter desirable. Your di rectors have had the satisfaction of remarking, that Irish railways have already attracted the serious and favourable attention of the Legislature; and they cannot refrain from noticing the language of Lord John Russell, in his speech in the House of Commons, on May 13th, 1847, with referenc e t o t h e I r i s h f i sher i es, as par ticularly applicabl e t o th e C ork an d W ater f or d Ra il way. His Lordship said, 'That it was to remunerative markets, to the internal improvements of the country, that he looked for the prosperity of the fisheries of Ireland. He believed that the construction of railways in Ireland would furnish a great stimulus to the Irish fisheries; he had no hesitation in saying, that a railroad across the country to Galway, and another leading to the great fishing stations in the south of Ireland, by which the fish might be brought to Dublin, and even for the Eng lish market, would be of immediate benefit. These communications would no doubt be ultimately estab lished, and he quite agreed with the Noble Lord opposite (Lord George Bentinck), though he had opposed his m o ti on on th e. s ubject, th a t a li ne o f railway connecting the coast of Ireland with Dublin, will afford a great stimulus to the fisheries of Ireland.' To this may be added the well-known fact, that many Irish railways on which only small portions of the line are completed and at work, are already receiving ample returns. Under these circumstances, your directors feeling confident that by careful and prudent manage ment, a fair remuneration, at no distant period, may be looked for from this, part of the line, recom mend that the works on that portion of the line from Waterford, with the branch of half a mile to Tramure, being a distance of eight miles, be proceeded with as soon as possible. That as the sum of 95,0001. would be sufficient for the accomplishment of this object, and, as the amount of forty shillings per share with the balance in hand would supply adequate funds, a call of ten shillings per share, n w s i t t e h a da view t hteo t te w h en a t c y co s m h m ill o i d n a g t s io a n lr o e f ad th y e shareholders), advertised,he made payable on the 29th September next ; and that no other portion of the line be commenced until the pro priety of such further proceeding shall have been sub mitted to a general meeting of the shareholders. Your a a r t e t h h o i l ths d p e r l a s , n s i w n i e l e l i n t b w t l i l n g t i h v e e t g h e e n m e r p a o l s c s o e n s c d s i u i o r r n e r e o n: c r a e s n o t f r 3 the t advantageous portion of the line, while it pro mises an adequate return for the contemplated outlay, and will be an important step towards enabling them in more prosperous times to carry out and complete their original project. The plans and surveys of this portion of the line are prepared and the line is set out. A balance of 16,9041. 2s. 3d. still remains in hand. Inasmuch as there will be great convenience in settling the interest accounts at fixed half-yearly periods, the directors have deter• mined that interest, from the time of the passing of the Act, shall be paid up to the 29tk of September, and that interest warrants be prepared on the Ist of October, which will be delivered to the parties entitled thereto on the production of the sealed certificates of registry." The accounts showed the expenditure to the 30th of June last to have been 5 6,644/. 7s. 9d., and the receipts 75,5481. 10s., leaving the above-mentioned balance. The CHAIRMAN briefly addressed the meeting. After adverting to the principal matters in the report, he said the directors had had great difficulties to con tend with ; they had, however, been happily over come, and he confidently believed that the line would prove a profitable source of investment. In reply to several questions, he stated the traffic estimated for the line by their opponents in the House of Commons was 13,3951. The estimated returns would be Si. per cent. The report was adopted. Mr. GARRATT said it was unlikely, in the depressed state of the money market, that they would get a considerable portion of the calls paid up by the time stated in the report, even though they paid 4 per cent. interest. He, therefore, begged to move, as an amend ment, " That the time of payment be deferred until March next," which was seconded by Mr. ILKIN. A DIRECTOR cited the fact that 160,0001. out of calls amounting to 180,000/., in a Welsh railway had been paid up within a fortnight after they became due, to show that the money market was not in so deplorable a condition as t h e H on . G en tl eman conceived. Mr. GARRATT reminded the Hon. Proprietor that this was an Irish railway, an d t h at mone y could not be so easily raised upon it as up on E n glish railways. The CHAIRMAN said one-thi r d o f t h e proprietors had sent in their concurrence with the report. The amendment, modified to a recommendation, was then adopted, and a vot e o f th an ks being passed to the Chairman and directors, th e meeting separated. LONDON AND BLACKWALL RAIL. WAY. The twenty-second half. yearly meeting of the London and Blackwall Railway Company took place yesterday at the London Tavern. J. N. Daniels, Esq., took the chair shortly after twelve o'clock, when the usual fo r malities having been gone through, The SECRETARY read the report, from which it appeared that the total amount of receipts for the last half-year was: 27,6021., and the expenses 23,841/., leaving a balance of upwards of 3,0001., out of which it was proposed to pay a dividend of Is. od. per share, clear of income-tax. The re port also stated that the circumstances that had diminished the receipts on other railway had affected that a the 1 „.1t1 isiackwall Railway. The failing off had taken place principally in the local and Gravesend traffic, N i vhile that to Woolwich had been doubled. The CHAIRMAN said it was always matter of regret to state to the proprietors of any company that there was a falling off in their receipts, and more especially to do so with respect to a company whose receipts had never been of the most flourishing description. The falling off, however, upon this line had not been greater than that upon other lines, and that, too, from the same cause. The directors had abandoned proceeding with the Bill for there extension line in the last session with regret and reluctance, but they did it under the best ad. vice, considering the circumstances in which they were placed. With respect to the branch line, the proprietors might depend upon it that the directors would do all in their power to meet the expenses of it as they became clue, but they were anxiou s no t t o be too hard on th e shareholders in their calls. A PROPRIETOR observed that the directors had made three calls within the last five months. The CHAIRMAN admitted that they had, but it had been found necessary to do so ; if the directors had not made the calls they had to pay the contractors, they would not have done their work. A PROPRIETOR wished to know if the directors had made any arrangement with the Eastern Counties line when their branch was finished, because at the present moment this company was entirely at the mercy of the Eastern Counties Company. The CHAIRMAN denied that this company was at the mercy of the Eastern Counties Company. The directors, however, did not look to the Eastern Coun ties alone for the value of their extension line. They IHearlooked to the traffic from Bow.—( , hear.) He had no doubt if the Eastern Counties Company did not come to proper terms with this company, looking at the situation and importance of their ter minus being in the heart of the City, the public would force them.—(Hear, hear.) A PROPRIETOR said—Then he was to understand that no agreement had been made with the Eastern Counties Cc:silvany at all. EVENING-, AUGFIT6T 18 3 IPA The CHAIRMAN said that an undertaking had been given by the Eastern Counties Company, that when there was a junction of the two lines they would give every facility for working it, and when the Eastern Counties Company refused to carry out the agreement it would be time enough to think of making them. A SHAREHOLDER obserVed that the proprietors had shown great confidence in the directors, but he thought that the company was too weak to carry out and place in a proper situation their line, so as to make it worth anything. lie thought it would be well worthy the, consideration of the directors whether an attempt should not be made to get some gentle men on the direction .who was connected with other and longer lines.—(Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN said that endeavours bad been made to form some connexion with the Eastern Coun ties line and the London and North-Western line, in order to secure their traffic to the Mark-lane terminus of this line, but they had been unable to effect it. _ _ _ A PROFRIETOR wished to know whether any agree ment had been made with the London and North- Western Company as to their taking, leasing, or otherwise, the Black wall line. The CHAIRMAN said there was no agreement what ever with the London and North-Western Company. That company denied that they were proprietors of the East and West India Railway Company. Captain MANGLES, as a director, could assure the proprietors with respect to the suggestion of an ad dition to the direction, that he and his brother directors would never stand in the way of any addi tion to the direction which would benefit the pro prietors. The CHAIRMAN, in answer to questions that were put by proprietors, observed that they had nothing whatever to do with the expense of repairing the three boats that run from. the Brunswick Pier. The directors were most anxious to make that pier avail able to all steam-boats, and were most willing, and always had been, to place all on the same footing. With respect to the Diamond boats they had never stipulated to their proprietors that if they called at the Brunswick Pier they should stop there. After a long and desultory conversation the report was agreed to. A resolution declaring a dividend of ls. 6d. per share was unanimously adopted, the dividend to be payable on the 6th of September. A vote of thanks was carried to the Chairman and directors, and the meeting separated. THE LATE. DR. LYNCH. A public meeting of the friends and admirers of this lamented gentleman took place yesterday afternoon at London Coffee.house, Ludgate-hill, for the purpose of promoting a subscription for his widow and family, who have been left entirely without the means of support. Edwin Chadwick, Esq., took the chair, and amongst other gentlemen present were Dr. Southwood Smith, F.R.S.; Toynbee, Esq., F.R.S.; R. Taylor, Esq., F.R.S.; James .Anderton Esq-, Dr. Farr, D. Ottley, Esq., R. Blair, .Esq., G. W. Smith, Esq., W. Simpson, Esq., George Ross, Esq., &c. The CHAIRMAN said he had to express his regret at the absence of Lord , Ebrington, who was to have taken the chair on this occasion, but who was prevented from being present, - aa death had been busy in his own house. However, the chairman was glad to see that so many of the neighbours and friends, professional as well as private, had attended to express their sympathy with the wife and family or Dr. Lynch, and to adopt measures for their support. The claims of that lamented gentleman were not confined within the ward in which he lived, but were extended far beyond it, throughout the city . of London, and, indeed to the public at large. Mr. Chadwick proceeded to explain the circumstances under which he had become acquainted with Dr. Lynch, and the opportunities he had bad of judging of his talents and character. He spoke warmly of the doc tor's exertions in favour of the sanatory condition of the population, and the zeal and ability with which he gave his attention at all times to every suggestion that might tend to the advancement of that question. Indeed he was so deeply, impressed with the importance of the whole subject, that he went out of his professional course and became a member of the Common Council, mainly and entirely with a view of impressing the necessity of improving the sanatory condition of the population upon that body and upon his fellow-citizens generally.— (Hear, hear.) A short time before his death he was visiting the districts in which the fever raged, for the purpose of gaining information, and he was busy in pre paring memorials to the Lord Mayor and t o th e Govern ment. Though he confessed the severity of the malady and admitted that he apprehended the service in which he was engaged was a dangerous one, nevertheless the condi tion of the poor people was such that he could not refrain from going amongst them and doing all he could to alle viate their sufferings and to minister to their wants.— (Hear.) Soon after this he (the Chairman) was stunned with the announcement of Dr. Lynch's death, for though he knew that he had been attacked by the fever, and that there was danger, yet, from favourable infor mation he received, he ha d , hoped that he would have escaped. The Chairman here entered into a detail of the number of individuals who had latterly fallen victims to fever whilst ministering to the relief of those suffering under its influenee, and of the painful circum stances connected with their deaths. He stated that memorials upon the subject had been presented to her Majesty's Government to assist the families who had thus been reduced to a state of privation, and the an swer which had been 'received was, that her Majesty's Government would assist *any local subscriptions that might be entered into for this purpose.—(Hear, hear.) He certainly thought that pensions should be provided for such persons in future, and it was the duty of Go. vernment to see to it.—(Hear, hear.) In conclusion, the Chairmanread a list of subscriptions, in which were the names Of the Bishop of London, the Bishop of Nor- Wich, the Duke of Baccleuch, Lord Ellesmere, Lord Morpeth, Lord Ebrington, Lord Ashley, Sir Benjamin Brodie, Sir James Clark, Professor Owen, G. It. Slaney, Esq., Dr. Southwood Smith, E. Chadwick, Esq., Dr. Duncan, of Liverpool, Dr. Arnold, Mr. Clutterbuck, the Misses Benson, . Sir George Larpent, Mr. Deputy Obbard, &c.—(Applause.) Dr. SOUTHWOOD SMITH, in proposing the first reso lution, said that the duty he bad to perform was of a very melancholy nature. It did not require one single word to recommend it to the sympathies of every one present, and he trusted that the sympathy they felt in that room would be responded to by those who were out of it.—(Hear, hear.) The resolution he had to propose was to the following effeet:" That Dr. Jordan Roche Lynch devoted himself especially and zealously during several years to the development of means for the pre vention of disease, and to the improvement of the sana tory condition of the labouring population, and that in the course of special investigations and extra profes sional services for these purposes he contracted an epi demic fever, of which he died, in the prime of life and public usefulness, leaving a widow and children unpro vided for; and there being now no public provision for the widows or•survivors of those who fall victims to such extra professional, extraordinary, important, and public service, this meeting is of opinion that the case is one in which a public subscription should be raised for the widow and children of Dr. Lynch." Dr. S. Smith said he could bear testimony to the cor rectness of all that bad been said relative to the zealous and efficient services rendered by that gentleman in the canse of sanatory reform. It had been said that the disease which prematurely destroyed his life committed greater slaughter among the people of England than was sustained by the whole of the allied armies at the battle of Waterloo, and that this battle against our population was fought and won every year ; and it might be truly said, in addition, that no class of officers serving in the former had suffered more severely than the medical men constantly suffered who were engaged in attendance upon the victims of the latter.—(clear, hear.) He was, therefore, glad that this public meeting had been called. It was the eminent labourer for the public service who had thus fallen a victim to his exertions, and experienced a fate which was a very common one—a fate known to mourning circles of friends—known to widows and or phans left destitute ; but not to the public, or, if known, quickly forgotten. Therefore, he said again, he was glad this public meeting had been called, because he hoped that the means of affording relief to the widow and chil dren of the late Dr. Lynch would be found, besides which, this was a practical instance to put forth for the purpose of directing public attention to the condition of those who suffered from the great and unrecompensed loss of their services. —(Hear.) Of all the professions the medical:profession were the shortest lived and the poorest. They were the shortest lived because while others were professions of comparative ease and safety, medical men were constantly exposed to as much danger as the officers of an army in the time of actual warfare. They were the poorest because it was the rule of the profession to give their labour and skill to those who needed it, without waiting to consider their ability to pay.—(Hear, hear.) No family labouring under disease —no family in which fever was raging, would ever think of not sending for the aid of the medical man because they were not able to pay him; and no medical man whose assistance might be asked for under such circum stances would ever think of refusing it.—(Hear, hear.) Was it, then, too much to say that when ho who thus devoted his life to save that of others, and so save their families from that entire ruin which often followed death —himself falling a victim to those exertions—was it too much to say that he ought to meet with some considera tion from the public?—(Hear, hear.) It was impossib 1t for the medical man to attend the poorer classes_ of this metropolis and other large towns withoutb ing his own life; and it was equally impossi.lendtoanmgaekre i the upper and middle classes understand position, for they lived in utter ignorance of the actual ocondition or man's of the poor, and of w hat sort of thing a p lto s ick chamber was. They were, therefore,agether unacqu ainted with the nature and risk of those who entered it with a view to afford the help required. — (Hear, hear.) Dr. Sou thwood Smith here quoted several cases of sickness and fever that had just come under his notice, in illustration of his remarks; he also spoke at g reat length and eloquently,r htupe° sanatory reform of the n the necessity of adopt ing proper measures for metropolis, and disclosed facts relative to the condition of the poor of t he most heartrending nature. In con clusion, he said , that the y had met to express their hope that the individual whose loss they now deplored, and whose great services they willingly and cheerfully re cognised, that the good he had done, would not be for gotten by the public. It was but a poor recompense that the country could afford to his family for his loss, but he earnestly hoped that what recompense they could give they would give, in order that they might have this proof, that at last they were beginning to recognise their true benefactors. —(Applause.) Mr. R. WAYLon seconded this motion. He sincerely connected those w tr h u o ste k d ne t w hat D i r t . w t ou y l n d ch n/)pPes tl o i n t itolly, the , and with the neighbourhood . more particularly, as well as er , in t a h s osE 6 i f w the public generally, .and that they would co - operate this meeting in endeavouring to raise such a sum as might serve to bring up his family in a respectable line of life.—(Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN put the resolution to the meeting, and it was carried unanimously. Dr. FARR then moved—" That the appointment and proceedings of the provisional sub-committee, with these objects, be confirmed by this meeting, and the following names be added thereto, and that the provi sional committee be requested to communicate with her Majesty's Government and the Corporation of the city of London, soliciting aid to the local subscription, and that the case of Dr. Lynch be submitted for considera tion to her Majesty's Government, as one exemplifying the necessity fbr a public provision being made for fu ture similar services:—Lord Ebrington, Lord Ashley, Richard Taylor, Esq.. Mr. Deputy Obbard, G. R. Slaney, Esq., M.P., Professor Owen, Dr. Farr, and John Abel Smith, Esq., M.P." Dr. FARR thought that the fact of Dr. Lynch having so faithfully diseharged hi s p u bli c d uty to the poor, was itself sufficient to entitle him to a tribute of re spect. He was not only distinguished as an officer of the union to which he was attached, but also for his general wish to promote the sanatory condition of the country.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. ANDERTON seconded this resolution, and said that he regretted the cause which had brought hem together, for it was a most melancholy duty to have to provide for the widow and children of a medical man whose life had been sacrificed in attending to the sufferings and wants of the poor. He had frequently heard Dr. Lynch expatiate very largely upon the sanatory condition of the lower orders at the several wardmotes held in a building not far from that place, and he (Mr. Anderton) confessed that he had been one of those who were incredulous. At last he told Dr. Lynch that he would accompany him in his rounds, and examine into the condition of the poor himself, and accordingly he devoted the part of three days to that purpose. He visited with the doctor the wretched localities he had so oftea spoken of, and he believed that if he had remained in the houses a few moments longer than he did, or had even repeated his visit, he should •now have been no more. He did not think that in a country like this, and especially in the great metropolis of England, there were to have been found persons occupying such wretched habita tions.—(Hear, hear.) He regretted much the death of Dr. Lynch, for he believed that, bad he lived, the public would have been indebted to him for great sana tory improvements, which they now stood so much in need of. Men who were taking lives received honours and were pensioned,•and why not those who were en gaged in saving lives T--(Hear, hear.) He thought that the Government ought to provide the means of aiding the families of medical men who died thus in the service of their country ; at the same time, he thanked God he had the means of helping to give that protec tion which Dr. Lynch was no longer alive to render to his family.—(bear, hear.) Mr. HERAPATH supported the resolution, which was afterwards put from the chair, and carried unanimously. Thanks having been voted to the provisional com mittee, and Mr. Simpson, for their services in this cause, a vote of thanks to the chair terminated the proceedings.

Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, attended by Lady Gore, the Hon. Miss Mitchell, and Earl Howe, arrived at Marlborough House soon after four o'clock yesterday afternoon, from her residence, Bushy Park. In the even ing her Majesty, attended by her suite, honoured the performance of the Italian Opera at her Majesty's Theatre with her presence. Yesterday being the birthday of the Duchess of Kent, the church bells at Kensington commenced early in the morning ringing a merry peal, and the royal standard was hoisted on the steeple. Her Royal Highnessi town tradesmen dined together as usual, at the King's Arms Tavern, and were bounti fully supplied with venison by her Royal Highness's order. Mr. Slater was in the chair. The company were entertained by Mr. Ransford and other vocalists. In the evening the houses of her Royal Highness's tradesmen were illuminated in honour of the occasion. Lord Campbell met with an accident a few days ago, by a fall from his horse while riding in one of the parks. Ills Lordship has now recovered from the effects of his accident. 'We regret to learn that Lord Campbell met with an accident . a few days ago by a fall from his horse while riding in one of the parks. His Lordship has happily now recovered from its effects. THE LATE DR.* GRirriTus.---The funeral obse quies of this respected Roman Catholic Bishop will be solemnized at St. Mary's, Moorfields, on Friday next. The removal of the remains from Golden-square will be strictly private, but the ceremonial of the interment will be conducted with great solemnity, with the assistance of all the Roman Catholic clergy of the district whose duties will allow them to be present. The ceremonial is expected to occupy several hours. The public will be admitted, we believe, by tickets, to the extent which the accommodation will allow. DEPLORADLE ACCIDENT. —We lament to state that a most lamentable accident occurred to the family of Mr. Wilson, formerly a Danish consul, and for the last twelve months resident at Langford-grove, in this county. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, with their son, a fine young man, 24 years of age; were returninci. on Wed nesday afternoon in their carriage from Hanbury-place, the palace of the Bishop pf Rochester, when, on de scending the hill through the village of Woodham Walter, the horses taking fright nearly opposite the church, kicked violently, the pole snapped, and the car riage following upon the animals they increased their speed to a frightful rate. In taking a sharp turn in Woodham street the carriage was upset and shattered to pieces. The travellers were thrown in various directions with the greatest violence, and Mr. Wilson, jun., was killed upon the spot. Mrs. Wilson was taken up in a state of insensibility," and with Mr. Wilson was removed to the house of Mr. Trustell.—Chelinvrord Chronicle. MONSTER TRAlN. : —On.Thursday evening last the Essex locomotive engine brought from Bury St. Ed mund's, or Stowmarket, to Ipswich, the amazing number of ono hundred and forty-nine loaded goods waggons at one time, and when the engine reached the Ipswich sta tion, the other extremity of the line of waggons was close to the bridge on the London-road, a distance of nearly a mile ! This, we believe, to be the largest goods' train that ever arrived at any station in the kingdom ; there was one, we believe, on the Birmingham and Manchester, consisting of one hundred and ninety-two empty trucks. On the morning of the same day the Essex took eighty five loaded carriages or trucks from Ipswich to Stow market, a burden of at least six hundred tons, and on the following morning it drew seventy-six loaded wag gons from Ipswich to the same town. Some idea may be formed, from the above statement of facts, of the vast capabilities of good locomotive engines, as well as of the importance of the traffic on the Eastern Union line, which will, doubtless, be greatly increased when the line is extended to Norwich. FOREIGN HARVEST. — Accounts from all parts ol the Continent denote a univeral fall in the price of grain, without excepting the north of Germany, where high prices maintain themselves longest.

LEGACY TO THE ROYAL ASYLUM OF THE ST. ANN'S SOCIETY SCHOOLS. —This noble institution has recently been deprived of one of its patrons, by the lamented death of Thomas Adderley, Esq., who, for upwards of seventy years, had been one of its warmest friends. A bequest of 5001. to the funds of the charity, and an ad ditional legacy of 1001. to its secretary, Edward Frede rick Leek s , E sq., will manifest the benevolent and liberal spirit that influenced the mind of the late memorable vice president, and the deep interest he took in the society. It is a la menta bl e fact that so few legacies are bequeathed to this p ecu li ar yet universal charity, thoug h i t s well ei known that, for many years, i t must d e pend upon ' volun tary contributi ons .

HER MAJESTY'S XL:. MM EXs oußsioN. - ---, . eTenillgarthlie r- ro . yal yacht At 5 o'clock on Sunday Vic toria and Albert, accompanied' ay - the' Black Eagle, Scourge, and Undine, reached Becumarir-bay, having come round by Holyhead, anciat eight o'clock her Ma jesty. with hit Royal Highness Prince Albert, and the Royal children, boarded the royal yacht from the Fairy: Tender, which had conveyed them through the ;lien= Straits. The Queen's tour through this intricate, though interesting passage, afforded much delight to the num bers who crowded each side of the channel. During the forenoon divine service was performed in the presence of her Majesty, her Royal Consort, the Royal children, and the other noble and illustrious per sonages on board, and at twelve o'clock the royal fleet was abreast the south entrance of the Straits, when the Queen left the Victoria and Albert, and proceeded on board the Fairy yacht, accompanied by Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, Princess Rozal, and several mem. hers of the suite, for the purpose o f passing through the Straits, the draught of water of the former royal vessel being too great - to admit of her taking the channel. Sir S. H. Polly, the deputy- nia , ter of the Trinity Corpera - - tion, Captain Gordon, and others of the Teinity broth:- ren, had preceded the royal, squadron scree hours, in rde,,r to complete the necessary arrangements for pilot : . ing the fleet. The Fairy immediately proceeded up the Straits, the royal standard flying at her main, folowed S i t i e n a g m ( e ) f r th s b e e l heavy by the Undin e -and Garland, and a small fleet of passsen trg t a o r Ca till r e n ry ar o v n on c a a n r d n a ß r a vo n n g . o .p r ier l it 'h n e . g bo e o r n nounced to the inhabitants the Queen's arrival. Divine service had not been. concluded at the several churches, and on the firing of the guns the congregations suddenly left their devotions, 'and with the p haste to the wat er - s id e t o witness the progress of her Majesty, The enthusi asm o f t h e loyal residents of Car narvon was of the most boi s t erous description. The first interesting object w hi c h seemed to excite lAfajesty's admiration was the remark s blep hfcarn a Castle, the birthplace of the first P r i nce of r v Wales.on Here the Fairy halted for about ten minutes, an d t h ee passed through the :Swillies, and on arriving at the Britannia Rock the attention of the royal party was drawn to the works none going on in the formation of the great tubular bridge over the Straits for the Chester and Holyhead Railway. Arrangements had been made for Prince Albert to land and inspect the operation, but pressure of time 'preventing him, the yacht proceeded. Arriving at St. •George's Pier, the Fairy was again brought to, so as to enable his Royal Highness to minutely examine that stupendous work of art, the Menai-bridge. Attended by Earl Grey and Lord A. Fitzclarence, the Prince was rowed to the Carnarvon. purpose, nhu h derigrpheroenss-eei peculiaritiesed: ns e a t , nwe a t nv returned e s dt p h e seo n l of t bw. tsomeyroigs over noblehtei the Fairy. h e F in making inquiries as to g ye di His yacht c s i hfes for rl Royal con tinued b y a d a etal structure.tr y o h.a t d h Te crossed es n s its course through the Straits until it reached Garth Ferry, the landing place at Bangor. The state barge was again put in requisition in con veying Prince Albert on shore. The Fairy being brought up, his Royal Highness, accompanied by the Prince of Leiningen, Earl Grey, and Captain Gordon, were taken off, and being landed they took an excursion to Penrhyn Castle, the stately seat of the Hon. Colonel Douglas Pennant, nr. After carefully viewing the in terior of the castle and beautiful grounds attached to it, which called • forth • the admiration of the illustrious visitors, the Prince proceeded to the slate quarries in the vicinity of Bangor. These they also inspected with much earnestness, arid the royal party returned to the yacht shortly after seven o'clock. During the Prince's absence the corporation of Ban gor, who had followed the 'Fairy in a postchaise to Bangor, came off alongside the yacht, and presented a congratulatory address to her Majesty. An incident occurred while the royal yacht was lying at the Garth, which gave rise to the utmost delight and enthusiasm amongst the loyal North Britons. The Fairy was surrounded by boats filled with inhabitants from either side of the straits, who were desirous of beholding and paying homage to their Sovereign. Her Majesty, who was on deck, seemed deeply gratified with the animated scene, and acknowledged the warm greetings of the spectators in the most pointed manner. In one boat, nearer to the royal yacht than the others, was a gentleman who addressed Lord A. Fitz clarence, and stated the great delight the assembled mul titude would experience in seeing the Prince of Wales. The desire was immediately communicated by his Lordship to the Queen, who, full of smiles, walked to the side of the vessel, and Lord Adolphus then lifted the youthful Prince of Wales on to a side seat, and in full view of the enthusiastic assemblage. This was the signal for tre mendous cheering. The little Prince, " doffing his glazed hat," bowed his aeknowledgments. In attire he was quite a miniature British tar, dressed in blue jack, white trowsers, and " nor' wester." The Princess Royal was by the side of her illustrious parent, and, by her smiles, appeared to •be highly pleased with what was passing around. At a quarter past seven the little fleet got under weigh for the Cross roads to the westward of this town, royal salutes being fired from the batteries of Craig y Don, Port Penrhyn, and Beaumaris, as they were passed by the royal yacht. At eight o'clock the royal party were on board the Victoria and Albert, receiving as they went by Bcaumaris every demonstration of loyalty. Before three o'clock on Monday morning, the Scourge steam-sloop got under weigh and proceeded to the northwards, and in an hour afterwards the royal steam yacht and the remainder of the squadron bore away in the same course, tbe.weatber being, as on the three pre ceding days, exceedingly favourable for the trip. At four O'clock the Waal= -Eagle arrived in Douglas Bay. She made but a short stay, and repaired to Wil liam Sands, off -the north part of the island. At eight o'clock A.M. the mail packet Tynwald, Captain Gill com mander, who was appointed as pilot to accompany the royal squadron around the island, sailed out of Douglas Harbour, having the High Bailiff of Douglas and a select party of passengers on board. The Fenella, a steamer of the Feetwood line, Captain Wheelers, with of Man. passengers, soon followed. After passing the Douglas royalA.3; the e ua s cl e r o o u n rg e a ttb (onee f C t a h lf e lighthouse, the -Tynwald steered south, to intersect the At sailed lteerdne pastremainder Caf, west. At twenty minutes in o'clockdt heer of the royal squadron, viz., the yacht Victoria and Albert, the Fairy, the Undine, and the Garland came in view. They then changed their course from west to north, steering direct to Douglas Bay. The Tynwald, Ben. my-Chree, and Fenella joined company with the royal squadron, and the seven steamers continued in company. The Queen wore a white bonnet and blue veil. Prince Albert was dressed in Scotch grey. The Prince Regent was in a white canvass frock, like a young midshipman. On arriving at Douglas Bay, at half-past 11 o clock, fires were lighted on the headlands, and immense crowds of the people thronged the brow ; guns were fired from Castle Mona and from Fort Ann ; 50 row boats, with lads and boys, thronged around the royal yacht with cheers and huzzas ; but none of the authorities appeared to address her Majesty. The squadron stayed about 15 minutes, and then moved on their voyage around by Ramsay and the Point of Ayr. At Maughold Head fires were burning on the mountains ' and hundreds thronged the cliffs ; flags were flying at Ramsay, and at different points around the coast. At the Point of Ayr, the Tynwald gave three cheers, and left the royal squadron to pursue its course towards the Scottish coast. The weather was beautiful, and the scenery at Douglas Bay, when the royal squadron was passing, was splendid. In the course of the evening the royal squadron ar rived off the Ayr Roads, near the entrance of the Frith of Clyde. (From the Caledonian Mercury.) The most active preparations have been made at the Marquis of Abercorn's seat on Loch Laggan for the re ception of the Court by the Noble Marquis himself, who is there personally superintending, as also at the various points on the route thither at which the royal squadron will touch. Among other things which the Noble Mar quis has provided for the comfort and convenience of her Majesty in enjoying the sublime scenery with which the neighbourhoud of Loch La-ggan abounds, is a very splendid rowing boat, which his Lordship has had con structed by Mr. Thompson, of Rotherhitbe, one of i3o t e e first boat-builders in the' country, a nd which ha s d off to n tialshed in a very short time, and d h steamers. shie Tke its destination in one of the b ix men (but • breadth ; is intended to be rowed y . sis boat is thirty two feet in leSen:titic and six feet in afford suitable accommo of the finest models of a rowing boat - we have ever seen , and is so constructed _ n ot to draw more than twelve inches of water d a ti double o n for ba eightn k ed ) p , er and Rill.
