anery to the manipulation and extraction of the,
silver from the ore.

The Handelabia of Amsterdam gives the following
balance-sheet of the concern of lie Bruyn and Sens,
the great sugar refiners of that city. The valued
assets of the sugar refinety are statei in round num-
bers at 2,938,000 florins, the debits 2,280,000 floriae,
The gas works are estimated to be worth 893,600
florins, with debits against of 482,300 florins. Then
figures are not however to be depended upon, for the
gas works were put up to sale previously, and the
highest bidding was only 200,000 florins.

-1 titious, or, more properly speaking, artificially created
circumstances,
