penbagen and Berlin before now, that the treaty of the ar-
mistice signed at Malmo was ratified by the two govern-
ments. The newspapers of the former city arrived to-day
seem to doubt the ratification, if not altogether, at any rate
on the terms mentioned by our reports. The Berlin papers
do not mention anything about ratification, while tome pri-
vate letters state the treaty will not be ratified; others men-
tion the Prussian government cannot do so before it has
laid it before the National A'sembly at Frankfort. Time
will show which of the two versions is the correct one.
In the meantime our ships are detained or condemned
by the Danish prize courts, and the German rivers watched
by their men-of-war to prevent ingress and egress of German
chipping. Nor are warlike preparations by land stopped
altogether; this afternoon, again, • Prussian battalion
passed through the city on their way to Altona, to be for-
warded by the rail to Rendsburg. By letters from the St.
Thomas we learn that several Hamburg and Altona vessels
are put under embargo there, which is a serious loss to our
merchants who arc engaged in that trade. Funds and rail-
way shares, which had risen in expectation of a speedy
peace fur the tut three days, got a chick this afternoon when
the reports of the non-ratification became known.
FRANKFOICE—In the sitting of the national
assembly on the 7th inst., M. Merck presented, in the
name of the commission for affairs of political co-
nomy, a report relative to the probibition on the part
of Austria to export Eoltl.. The report urges the
assembly to a'kpt a declaration to Austria, in sub-
tottacc that such prohibition is prejudicial to the other',
German states, and incompatible with the unity of Ger-
many. A debate ensued on the report of the commis-
sion relative to the immediate armament of Germany,
the pith of which is t hat the national assembly ought,
through the Germanic diet, to call upon the govern-
ments of Germany to bring up their federal contin-
gents of every arm as soon as possible to the number
fixed for them, viz., one per cent. on the population
according to the last census. To this motion the
committee then added one, in substance as follows:
to get in readiness as soon as possible a first division
01 this militia to the number of 340,000 men, inas-
much as the armament of the whole people cannot
take place as speedily as circumstances require. No
vote was come to on these motions.

Some disturbances took place at Frankfort, or rather
in Sachsenhausen (one of Its suburbs), on the night of
the 7th. A barricade was erected at one end of the
main bridge, which separates the above suburb from
the city proper; but early on the Bth inst. the barri-
cade was removed by the authorities. It appears that
some gendarmes who had attempted to arrest a num-
ber of individuals in Sachsenhausen, for some local
misdemeanors, were attacked by the populace of
that district—the \Vhitechapel of the above tree city
—and driven away. The military were then called
out, and being also attacked, they were obliged
to fire on the crowd, tour of whom were
carried off wounded. Some of the popu-
lace fired in turn, and one of the military
was shot through the forehead. The tumult
increasing the majority of the troops were obliged to
leave Sachsenhausen, and to escape in boats to the
other side of the river. The rioters then barricaded
several streets, and their end of the bridge. The
troops in Frankfort itself were under arms during the
entire night, and strong detachments were posted at
the city side of the bridge, in order to prevent any
communication with the insurgents. During the,
night, the few solders who had remained in Sach-
senhausen were disarmed. Several persons were
arrested the next day in Frankfort, amongst others
the president of the Mechanics' Union. According to
the latest accounts tranquillity had been restored.

the quantity of merchandise in warehouse on the 30th of
June, with a comparative statement for the corresponding
periods in the years 1843, 1846, and 1847. were submitted
for the information of the proprietors. From these it ap-
peered that a considerable falling off had taken place during
the last six mouths, of the probability of which he (the
chairman) had expressed an apprehension whea he addressed
the proprietors in January brit ' • but in the corresponding
six months of 1847, there had been from the peculiar cir-
cumstances of the time, which were well known, a very great
increase in the importations of corn and flour, prov sions,
rice, sugar, and other bulky articles, as compared with the
first ,ix months of 1846. Those peculiar circumstances being
no longer in operation, and having been succeeded by an
extreme depression of trade, the importations, as far as the
St. Katharine Docks were concerned, had been reduced to
what they were in the corresponding period of 1846, the
difference being the most trifling plisible, viz.:
The st:ck of goods in warehouse June 30, 1846, was 63,433 Was

After some further observations from the chairman, relat•
ing to the comparative importations, the proprietors pro-
ceeded with the ballot for twenty-one directors, who were
elected tor the year ensuing, and a vote of thanks passed
unanimously to the chairman and the rest of the
directors for their a•tention to the interests of the company,
when the meeting broke up.

In their last report the directors adverted to the ruinous deprecia-
tion in the value of augur, and to the numerous failures which had
taken plate in consequence of the injurious operation of ths act of par-
liament of 1818, and oftne monetary preature existing in thiscountry.
They also stated that many bills were in abeyance trona which the
bank mutt sustain loss: and they regret now to add that the depression
under which the markets for Wont India produce have continued to la-
hour ever since the period of the last half-yearly meeting, has had the
effiet of noca+ioning further (Alines, from which additional lout must
be anticipated. There calamitous events are still of too recent occur-
rence to admit of the directors laying before the proprietors an accu-
rate statement of the bank's leases; but as they are anxious to afford
all the information they can on the subject, they have endeavoured to
form as correct an estimate as possible; and they are sorry to state
that they cannot calculate the probable los+at leis than 100,000/. It
Is extremely painful to the directors to have to make this commu-
nication ; but in doing so they think it due to themselves
to point out to the proprietors that the losses of the bank have
not arisen from any want of caution on their part, for, as mentioned
in their last repoit, immediately. on the pawing of the Act of
ISM they transmitted cautionary instructions to their managers,
which have knee been constantly repeated, but the fall in prices has
I provd so imprecedentedly heavy, and the depression has continued no
longe that it has baffled all ordinary calculations. Under there ch.-
cnnistanoes the director entertain no doubt that the proprietors will
agree with them in opinion that it would not be proper to declare a
dividend at this time, hut that the correct course IP to devote the
profits reported above tothe extinction of the balance of old, Dad, and
doubtful debts, and to the commencement of a hind to meet those
losses which are anticipated, but cannot at present be ascertained.
The directors consequently propose that from the amount of profits
made during the halt year ending 314 December, 1817, after deduc-
tion of all current i spews, viz., 20,4381. 7e. 241., be deducted the
balance of old, bad, and doubtful debts, 0,1731. ss. 4d., leaving
14,1031. 1.. 10d. as the commencement of • toad for new bad debts.
Wrh regard to the future, the directors trust that tin the
evidence taken before a committee of the Mouse of Commons
on the sugar question has caused her Majesty's government to
propos, a nicalithation of the act of 1810. the result of that
inquiry will prove beneficial to the colonic% for although the measures
of govcrnme t are considered inadequate to meet the exigeneiei of
the case, the discussion which has taken place on the subject will
render the public of this country more fully cognisant than heretofore
of the hardships under which the West India colonies (have suffered
PO long; and by the innuene^ of public opinion, the advisers of the
Crown may hereafter be induced to afford them that further eupport
which they are entitled to u-k, as long eu they arc espo44 to the
competition of slave labour. la the meanwhile, it shall be the care
of the directors to conduct the ',misers of the bank under such pre-
cautionary restrictions as to avoid km% no far as possible ; and as they
are no longer subject to the competition of the West India Bank,
they trust this mar be accomplished with less diminution
of profit than would otherwise have been the case. Large
a+ the sum 1 which has been mentionel as the pro-
bable amount of the bank's loss, the directors do not consithr
it such as to impair the efficient working of the inotitutlon, or to ren-
der it necessary to call further capital from the proprietors. In con-
cl.ion the directors astute the proprietors that no exertion shah be
wanting on their part to improve the pDAtiOn of the :bank, and
they trust circumstances will permit their endeavour. to be suc-
cessful.
Mr. LEVY moved and; Mr. WHEELER seconded a motion
that, in cinsequenee of the losses sustained t.y the hank, and
it is dscouraging prosp cts. the company be dissolved.
Mr. S. GIJRNLY thought it would be unwise to wind up
the concern ; he should, therefore, hold up his hand for the
adoption of the report.
Mr. VALVE, Mr. MADDEN, and others, insisted on know-
ing the annu it expenses of continuing the comrany.
The CHAIRMAN said the expenses amounted to about
38,0001. annually. (Hear.) It must be remembered that for
this they had banks all over the West Indies, some eight or
ten establishments, and that they had to pay very highly for
the services of their officers in unhealthy climates. (Hear.)
Mr. Minus?' had every confidence in the honour of the
directors, but whilst the government were Fcciug on in each
a ruinous way towards the colonies, ha could not see how the
bank could maintain itself there. He could not see how
any bank could exist without leases under such circum-
stances.
The CHAIRMAN would advise the shareholders to leave
the question of diasolution in the hands of the directors, re-
lying on them to curtail the operations of the bank as far as
possible. Any ten proprietors who thought that they should
at once dissolve the company might call a special meeting for
that purpose, when the dirt ctors could lay before them fur-
ther information on so important a subject. The concern
was not so bad, after all, as had been stated, for it was proved
that their dividends had averaged 4 per cent. per annum till
lasi January. (Hear, hear.)
The amerdment was then withdrawn, and the report was
adopted. A resolution was then passed for postponing the
dividend.
Mr. S. 0 vits;Elf then moved a vote of thanks to the chair-
man and directors, which was seconded, and passed unani-
mously, when the mesting adjourned.

DCBLIN.-ELECTION COMMITTEE, YESTERDAY.-
Four votes were struck off the sitting member's majority
dui ing yesterday's scrutiny.
SOCIETY FOR THE PROMOTION OF COLONIOATION.-
A public meeting of this society was held yesterday in the
Queen's Concert room, Hanover square. The Esrl of Har-
rowby occupied the chair, and opened the trceocdings wish
some general remarks with regard to the vast incrrao, of po-
pulation in this kingdomleatimated at about 1,000 a day.
This country had colonies thinning for population, and a
population here dying to be employed, and gifted wi'h an
amount of e-.terprise and industry which peculiarly fitted '
them for the occupation of those lands. Indeed there wit
no country whcse population was so eminently fitted for t:.e
task as the En,slish, for whose habits of independea, action
and self-reliance the colonies supplied so fair a field, extend-
ing to the colonic' the habits and opinions of the mother
country, which was a point of great importance. The secre-
tary then read a stet, merit of the scheme of the society, of
which the full swing are the main points:
To eillect and diffuse information regarding the colonies; to com-
municate with landowner s, boards of guardians, and other private
and public bodies In this country; to establish ageacies, and corre-
spond with parties in the colonies, with a view to establish a steady
supp.y of labour. In furtherance of these objects a letter was
addressed to the Secretary of state for the Colonies, stating the fates-
Cons of the society, and requesting "a relaxation of such
part of the existing regulation, in respect of emigration
as would admit of the proposed Van being carried out."
The reply was favourable, and the emigration commisiioners con-
rented to such a relaxation of their rules as will enable the plans of
the society to come into operation. The existing rules of the emigre-
tion board absolutely exclude u any valuable ooloniate, who, on
account of age, number of children occupation, or other moire, are
ineligible fora free passage. The board, justly reserving to itself the
right of rejection, on particula grounds, In each individual case, is
willing to modify these regulations.° as to accent the ea sdidates re-
commended for emigration by the society, on receiving payment
of a portion of the passage money. Under this arrangement
the society proposes to make advances to those whom It
may consider eligible emigrants, of such saws as, joined to these own
means, may enable them to avail themselves of the passages thus
offered by the emigration commiesionem In the cane of fondles in-
terested in sending out emigrants, who are apptoved of by the com-
mittee, a reaaonable sum having been contributed by the pariah or
union, the deficiency (if any) between that nun and the amount re-
quired by the commissioners maybe advanced by this society. In the
ease of loodords from whose estates persons are deeirous to emigrate,
the society offers to stub landlords as may be wilting to assist them
by making the necessary advance. the benefit of its ma-
chinery and agency for recovering, in the various colonies,
I the aura:int of such advances mule to the respective emigrants.
In order to secure repayment of these advances, it is proposed that
each emigrant who MaT be so required by the landlords other
advancing money for him 'should grant his promissory note person
advancing I
amount, to be recovered by a simple process, and winch the society is
cone lent will prove efßeacious and satisfactory; and there is reason
to believe, that the local legialattue would readily pars each
an enactment—in reference to colonial laws of contract—m
might be required to aid in carrying the purpose into effect.
The colonies have this farther claim upon the bounty of Great Britain
towards the relief of her own poor, inasmuch as charitable indivi-
duals in one of her most distant colonies New South Wales) have
shown such sympathy in the distress and misery here, that they
hare there raised by voluntary mhecription a sum of 2,4001., and re-
mined It to a gentleman now a member of the committee of this w-
inery. applicable to those parishes of seottsnd and Ireland which may
be willing to raise funds for the purpose of relieving their poor by
emigration.
—Lord Ashley moved the first resolution, and said he very
much rejoi ed that the subject had at last been taken op as
a great and substantive question by the working classes
themselves, and he hoped they would shortly propound some
great scheme by which, from their own resources, they
might institute a great system of continual and regular
emigration. In fact, he cor.sidered it to be the only means
whereby the great mass of the working emus in this country
would be able permanently to alleviate their present and to
1 attain the elevation of their future condition. The evils

prary

resulting from the want of employment at home were
shown by the fact that, out of 62,000 persons apprehended
last year by the police, 28,000 had no calling, avocation, or
employment whatever. He could not believe that this state
of things arose from the free choice of the individuals them-
selves. He concluded by urging them, in strong terms, to
lend their aid towards the object, as &duty which they owed
to themselves, to their children, and to God. He moved :
That it is eligible and expedient that the cost of procuring the ad-
vantages in which the United Kingdom, the colonies, and the emi-
'ranee themselves, alike participate, should be defrayed in due pro-
wet on from the three sourme.
r. Mills seconded the resolution, which was carried unani-
Esously.—Resolutions were also adopted to the effect that
corresponding societies should be established in accordance
with the objects of the society, and that subscriptions should
be raised from the public towards its objects.—Lord Mont-
eagle, the Hon. F. Eccitt, Mr. A. Campbell (a working man,
who er..lze of the favour in which emiention was held by
*nit class), Lord Farnham, Mr. Slaney, M.P., and other gen-
tlemen, delivered addresses in support of the resolutions, and
a complimentary vote to the chairman brought the proceed-
ings to a close.
THE CLERKS' AND GENERAL BENEFIT BUILDING
SOCIETT AND S•TINGS FUSD.—The members of this society
held a public meeting yesterday evening, at their offices
Crosby Hall, Bishopsitamstreet. Blr. Edward Devonshire,
the secretary of the East and West India Dock Company.
took the chair, and stated to the meeting the objects of the
enciety, observing, that the main principle on which it wan
founded was that of enabling tenants to purchase the house
in which they resided, in cases where the annual rent which
they were:required to pay as tenants exceeded the ordinary
interest on the sum for which such houses could be pur-
chased. He was followed by Mr. J. A. Joseph, secretary of
the Australian Mining Company, who most ably and fully
explained to the meeting the advantages to be derived from
the society, into whose plan and working the most searching
investigation was solicited. He congratulated the society on
their having obtained the services of Mr. F. F. Toole as
secretary, whose tables and rules, with the whole plan of
operations, were of a much improved and most complete
character; and also on the fact of their solicitors giving their
services without receiving fees, so desirous were they of ad-
venting the interests of such a society. Several members
were enrolled and subecriptions received, and thanks having
been voted to the chairman the meeting upended.
PERUVIAN BONDROLDER9.—Yesteetioy a meeting
of the Peruvian bondholders took place at the London Tavern
for the purpose of taking into consideration resolutions drawn
up by their committee with respect to a communication
which they had had from the Peruvian government, placing
before them a certain proposal for the satiterciion of their
claims. Mr. G. R. Robinson, M.P., took the chair at 2 o'clock.
—The Chairman, in opening the proceedings, gave a history
of the efforts which had been made to obtain from the Peru
vian government a settlement of their claims up to the time
when Meson. Maclean, Roe, and Co., of Lima,
undertook to become agents for the bendhslden.
They persevered in the most zealous and praiseworthy man-
ner to pre.s their claims on the Peruvian government, and
he believed that they were indebted to their exertions for the
proposal now made by that government. By a decree of the
Peruvian government, in Jan., 1812, six years ago, the
bondholders were to have the benefit of half the proceeds of
the guano; but, notwithstanding that decree, not a single
shilling of those proceeds was appropriated to the use
of the bondholders. He would now state what the
main objects of the proposal of the government were.
It wa., in the first place, proposed that the bonds
in the two loans of 1822 and 1825 were to be
given up, and that new bonds were to he issued in lieu
thereof, either in London or en Peru ; these new bends to
be issued for the principal debt—namely,lool. capital, which
was to beer the interest of 3 per cent. from the Ist of De-
cember, 1819, so that the first dividend, according to this
proposal, would be le per cent., to be paid in the month of
June, 18.50, and that rate of interest should be paid up until
the 30th of November, 1851, from which time the interest
was to increase I per cent. per annum until it should
reach 6 for cent., the rate of interest that was originally
contracted for, and there it was to remain. Then
as to the arrears of the coupons, the bondholders
were to receive an addif onal bond for 1001., the arrears
being 1351. on which no interest had been paid, and both
bands should bear 1 per cent. interest from the lot of Decem-
ber, 18.54, to increase one-fourth per cent. per annum to the
year 1862, when, if any of them lived so long, and the Pe-
ruvian government were unable to pay it, they should be
entitled to receive 3 per cent. interest on them, and that in-
terest should remain stationary. The next part of the
proposal was, that the bond for the principal
debt was to be made available in reclaiming the
waste land in Peru, that they wculd approprate
a sum of money not mentioned to redeem that debt, and that
one-third of the proceeds of the guano was to be applied to
the payments of the interest on the new bombe And, lastly,
they were told as a sort of threat, that if they did not accept
the present offer, it should be considered null and of no
effect ; that meant, as he took it, that if the) did not choose
to accept the proposal they could not get anything. The
Chairman then reed a letter from the Peruvian Minister of
Finance on the subject, and concluded by observing that the
object of the present meeting was that they should, after
due consideration, determine whether it was their intern
to adhere to their original claims, and retain the originm
bonds, or whether, on the promise of the Peruvian govern-
ment—which he believed to be of no value whatever—they
would give up these bonds for new ones, and accept this pro-
posal, with the chance of getting something? (Cries of " No,
ne.")—A Bondholder then suggested that they had better
adont the proposal of the government, and try what thee
could get thereby; but, etc!. a brief discussion, he withdrew
that recommendatien.—The resolutions drawn up by the
committee for the rejection of the proposal of the govern-
ment, for this reason amongst sere eel others, that the
whole course pursued by the Peruvian government in the
matter indicated such a want of good faith, and such a total
disregard of the first principles of national honour, that it
was impossilie it could be persevered in by any nation pro.
fessing to conduct its government consistently wish the ac-
knowledged obligations of justice and integrity, were then
put to the meeting, who unanimously cement them.—The
Chairman then said that from a conversation which he held
with Lord Palmerston on the previous evening, he felt sure
that that noble lord would do anything that was possible to
serve the bondholders.—The thanks of the bondholders
having been voted to the chairman, the meeting separated.
THE ROYAL HUMANE SOCIETY.—The half-yearly
general court of the Royal Humane Society was held yes-
terday afternoon, at the office, No. 3, Trafalgar-square ; B.
Bond Cabbrll, Esq., in the chair. The minutes of the
preview court having been read and confirmed, Mr.
Cearlier, the secretary, read the report, from which it ap-
peared that, since December last, the number of persons
who had been successfully treated alter immersion in the
water was 61, beyond recovery 3, attempted suicides 18. In
Hyde-perk, since December last, 19 cases had come under
the attention of the society, out of which 17 persons were
successfully treat, d, and 2 beyond recovery. There had also
been 11 attempted suicides during the Fame period. The
society's honorary rewards were voted to Lieut. W. R.
Smith, ft N , for saving the life of Mr. West, the second
muter of her Majesty's ship Endymion ; to Mr. F. Hutch
inson, surgeon, t t Farringdon-street, fur restoring, by skilled
and unremitting exertion, George Thornton, also for his
valuable and prompt s. sistance rendered on frequent occa-
sions, and to Mr. H. A. F. Lusignan for saving the life o,
Edward Blundell. The Archbishop of Canterbury haring
been elected one of the vice-presidents, in the room of the
late archbishop, a vote of thanks was passed to the chair-
man, when the praccedings 'erminated.

ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF
ENGLAND.

namea

During Monday several important persons arrived
at York, including the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke o.
Richmond, the Doke of Buckingham, Lord Shelburne, Lord
Yarborough, and Lord Chichester.
In the afternoon of Monday a meeting of the coattail of
tt e aoiety was held at the De Grey Rooms, the Earl nt
Yarborough in the chair, when sonic prelimiaery businels
was transacted.
The cattle and implement show-yards are situated on the
Boothatn Stray, about a mile north of York, at the late:sec-
tion of the Helmsley turnpike-road with the Scarborough
Railway. As soon so this site was fixed upon the local com-
mittee proceeded to take steps to have upwards of 20 acres
thoroughly drained, rolled, and leveled, and the total area
inclosed by the contractor was upwards of 15 acres. It was
incased by strong wooden paling. or rather phial& g, from
ten to twelve feet high, and was divided into two compart
menta, one of which was appropriated to implements, and
the other to stock. The approaches to the show yard Iron.
the nil are by the York and Helmsley turnpike road, at tte
side of which there is a convenient foot road, and by the
Bcarboro' Railway, along which trains are kept continually
running. The yard is divided, in the first Inatome %yr a
temporary fence int, two pirtitiont, the nor h portion being
devoted to implements—the other, or southern portion, to
the live stock, which will be opened to the public on Wed.
'lmlay (this slay) and Thersday, when the partition fence
will be removed and the whole area thrown into one attrao-
five spectacle.

Yesterday morning, at an early hour, the implement yard
was thrown open for the inspection of such of tne public as
were disposed to invest 2s. 6d. in the sight. The various
plements occupied 160 stands, said comprised nearly 2,000
separate entries.
The horticultural fete commenced yesterday, and was a
very attractive affair, on an immense scale—the tents occu-
pying an area of 10,000 square
The trial of implements by the judges was privet.. The
following was the programme of the order of the businesi :

Mr. if 01116 by may be considered a most successful tromps
titer. His steam-engine, to which a 50/. prize was given, is
thus described in the catalogue: " A viz-horse power porta-
ble steam-engine ; invented, improved, and manufactured by
the exhibitor. It is simple in ea construction, fitted with
governor., said easy to manage, with tubular boiler, fire-box,
and smoke-box complete." The drill for general purposes,
which gained the prize of 161., is an improvement upon
that which has already been successful on former similar
occasions at Bristol, Derby, and Newcastle. Mr. Bub?,
plough for heavy land "is capable of working twelve
inches deep when required, and with a lighter mauld•board
will not be found too heavy to be aged a. a two-herse p eugh."
Mende. Howard's -.plough for light land is an improvement
on their potent iron plough with two wheels, which has been
suet uful at all the meetir.gs of the society. The alteration
introduced is a new method of fixing the wheels, by which
the width of furrow may be alterA more readily than upon
the old plan ; it is also superior for deep ploughing, and
upon dirty land, where the soil accumulates en the old
alidinir axle.—Mr. Garr, tt's "turnip drill on the fl it i. de-
scribed as a four-row lever drill, for the purpose of depositing
turnips or mangel wurzcl seeds with artificial or well rotted
farmyard manure, for either flat or ridge ploughed lands.
It is made with improved levers and coulters, whereby the
manure may he deeply burkd in the land loelew the seed,
and any quantity of soil placed between them. The seed
welters may be adjusted to drill the seeds either deeper or
fleeter, as circumstances may require. This drill is also
adapted for drilling beans. peas, and carroty, with manure,
at auy intervals apart."—The steaming apparatus of Moors.
Sharman and Co., the catalogue says: Is adapted for
quickly generating steam to be applied to the purples
of cooking linseed, chaff, potatoes, and other food for
cattle. It is made of copper and galvanised iron, and can he
used without the aid of brickwork. A jet of steam
is so introduced into the compeund tub as to keep the
food in agitation, and obviate the necessity of stirring it up
in the ordinary way.— The machine for asking ti ling,
drains, and pipes to which the prize was awarded, is very
strong, and the hex will contain 3,744 cubic inches of clay.
It is thus described as one which may he euily turned the
whole day by one man, who also may tilt the hex, while a
boy cuts the tiles off and carries them away. The front of
the box is 'erg, enough to receive a die-plate, with seven
li-inch or five 2-inch tiles in width, and, if placed one upon
another, twelve 11-inch or nine 2-inch tiles. Any descrip-
tion of tiles may be made by this machine. A wrought-inn
screen-plate may be attached when tiles are not being made,
for the purpose of extricating stones from the el.y.
