THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 15, 1846.

ago it was announced that the Lords of the Admiralty had
appointed Capt. Beechey, R.N., in command of the govern-
ment surveying steamer, the Firefly, to examine into, and
report to their lordships upon, that dangerous bed of rocks,
denominated the " Swillies ;" these are situated near the
Menai Bridge, extend from shore to shore, and prove a most
serious obstacle to the free navigation of that important
channel, the Menai. Accordingly Capt. Beechey has, for
several days past, been actively engaged in a thorough and
personal inspection, both at high and low water, of these im-
pediments, in which he has been assisted by the pilots, whose
local knowledge has proved of great utility. A deputation
from the trustees of the harbour of Carnarvon bas been
received by the Captain on board his vessel, when several mas-
ters of coasters were examined, and gave evidence as to the
dangerous navigation of this part of the Menai. The Hon.
I Col. D. Pennant, M.P. for the county of Carnarvon, W. B.
Hughes, Esq., M.P. for the boroughs, and T. Williams,
Esq., M.P., were present at the inquiry. It is trusted that
the present commission, and the report of the surveying offi-
cer, will lead to the adoption of means for the removal of this
most dangerous ocistacle, which has, without doubt, proved
very prejudicial to the interests and trade of the towns on
the Menai.
•

one of which Wile at once identified. One was
tied neatly round the calf of each leg, another
was added in like manner to the size of each arm,
while the fifth was ingeniously disposed about his
waist. He had made each of the handkerchiefs change
its master on board the steamer, in the short voyage from
Hungerford•market to London-bridge. As the prisoner was
going to the station-house, with a crowd behind, he said,
Well, it is a bad job, and no mistake ; but it was to be, and
how could such as me stop it ?" The Lord Mayor : Well,
prisoner, you had a good day's work, I perceive. The jri-
Boner : I have bcrn dreadful hard up, your lordship, I do
assure you; why, I have been obliged to beg. I tried every-
thing before 1 tried this, but it wouldn't do. The Lord
Mayor : You are an expert hand, and I shall send you for
trial. The prisoner : Don't send me for trial. There will
be no merit in conwicting me. It's too plain a case. (Laugh-
ter.) Consider my poverty, this once, please you, my lord,
and give me a " summary." The Lord Mayor : No, you
won't do for London. The prisoner : Well, my lord, if you
can't be persuaded to do a kind thing, why then I must do
as you wish.—lle was committed for trial.

UMANITY IN THE LAW OF DLOTOR AND CEEDITOR.—
A case having come before the Lord Mayor, in which an un-
fortunate debtor was stated to have been incapacitated from
attending to answer for having omitted to pay certain rates,
the Lerd Meyer represented to the applicant the obligation
upon him to do all with charity, ant stated that Mr. Suction,
the governor of Whitecrosa-street prison, had on Saturday,
on presenting his entry-book to the gaol committee, pointed
out a passage, of which the following is a copy
Richard M—n was committed to the debtors' prawn, Whiteeroas-
strret, on the 9th inst. by the Court of Bankruptcy, under the Small
Debts Act, for forty day% for a debt of If. Its. lld. The prisoner,
aged GO, was brought in a cab and appeared to be labouriith under im-
becility of mind, and in a low, Making. state of hodi:y health,
requiring him to be immediately put to bed in the infirmary. On the
following iLly the governor made an affidavit of the (Acta, scam-
panied with the surgeon's certificate, and applied to Mr. Commissioner
Line for the prisoner's discharge under the 62id clause of the 71h
sad lith Victoria, chap. 96, which application (although the first of the
kind) was granted, and the prisoner wan restored to his home on the
same day, hating had ths immediate necessities relieved from the
Sheriffs' Curd.

PROTECTION or Bnirtsa SEAMEN.—As many seamen
arc still ignorant of the laws lately enacted for their protec-
tion from crimps, when seeking employ merit, the following
digest of the vet Bth and 9th Victoria, cap. 11G, has just been
posted in the form of a placard, at the Custom-houses, docks,
and other conspicuous places in he ports of the United
Kingdom, in order that it may fall under the notice of the
crews of merchant vessels. In Loudon, the Registrar-
General of Seamen has been directed to afford seamen every
facility for obtaining redress where imposition has been prac-
tised, and several convictions have already been obtained
against notorious crimps.
.thavorrater ro kisansvars.—Manenairr Sztinoes PROTECTION
Arr.—By the Bth and oth Victoria, cap. 116,
,it is enacted, that no
person shall engage or supply seamen to be entered on board any
merchant ship, linnet he be owner, part owner, master, or ship's
huslond, or duly iheiesel by the Board of Trade to ship seamen;
and the penalty for violation of this clause is any sum not ex-
ceeding 20/. 'hat no seaman shall sign the ship's articles any-
where but on board the ship, and that the advance note be given
only to the seaman himself, at the expiration of six hours
from the time of signing; unless such i/WhilICC be paid in
money, then at any period after signing the ship's articles,
but only to the seaman himself. The amount advanced contrary to
these provisions is null and void, and recoverable as wages at the
termination of the voyage, as if DO such advance had been paid. That
no seaman shall give any remuneration whatever, either directly or
indirectly, for being provided with a berth; and any person demand-
ing or receiving the same forfeits • sum of not exceeding hi. That no
proton shall remove the property of any seaman from the ship at the
expiration of the voyage, excepting with the seaman's consent, sad
all offenders forfeit the sum of 5/. That no lodging-house keeper
shall receive payment for board and lodging for a longer period than
the seaman shad have actually resided in his house; and any lodging-
hvme keeper refusing to return any property to the seaman when
required to do so shall forfeit and pay a suss of not eirectling 10/.
above the value of the articles detained. Seamen aggrieved should
apply to a justice of the peace, who will grant his summons for the
appearance of the party complained against, examine the charge, and,
if proved, punish the °fender according to law."

His lordship observed that nothing could be a more
persuasive indication of the advancing improvement of the
times than such an evidence of the lenient character of the
laws revecting debtor and creditor. Formerly pour
wretches, who like multitudes of paupers of the present
day were criminal only by their poverty, were dragfed from
their beds of sickness and of straw to gratify the vindictive
spirit of creditors. Dv the untiring labours, however, of
benevolent men in the legi.•lature and in the press, the
frightful inhumanity exercised against poor debtors and
poor paupers was undergoing a certain, although a a!ow
change. Ho t:usted, and believed, that neither the par-
liament nor the press would btf silent so long as the evits,
which were so powerfully condemned by the friends of the
poor, existed in a shape at all formidable. In speaking of
those who were unable to pay their debts, he of course
excluded the persons who had dishonestly contracted them.
To quite a different tribunal he would submit the case of all
such individuals.

A rent :era Krrs. 12.—Lieut. J. Bowe, to the (keon, for service
is fheernms; Midshipman G. 11. Mansell, to Wadatfor, Master's
Assistant E. W. Grant, to Seagull; Third Lngineer J. Guthrie, to
At heron.

The following is the clause upon which Mr. Burdon
applied for the dißharge of his prisoner
621s1.—And be it enacted that if it shall at any time appear to the
satisfaction of the judge of any such court, by the oath or affirmation
of any person, or otherwise that any defend:int is unable, front sick-
ness or unavoilrldeaorident, to pi:), and discharge the debt or damages
recovered against him, or any itamilment thereof ordered to be paid
as aforesaid, it shall be lawful for the judge, in his discretion, to sus-
pend or stay any judgment, order, or execution, given, mode, or
issued in nu li action for ouch time liri the judge shall think fit, and ro
from time to time until it shall appear by the like proof as aforesaid
that such temporary (-Ake of disability has ceased."
His lordship finally observed that it WAS most satisfactory
to him to be able to state that the Sheriffs fund, which was
applicable to all cases of the kind, had tately rendered essen-
tial services in the great muss of eases in which prisoners
who had been confined wen: discharged without being
possessed of property to the amount of one farthing. lie
thought that the expression of his feelings and opinions in a
place to which such numbers of cases of misfortune and
suffering were brought would attract the attention of the
benificent to the general condition of the poor, end n.ake
more manifest the necessity of a more extended and active
sympathy.
SOUTHWARK. STEALINO A CleAn. Yesterday,
William Staunton, a porter employed ou the South-Eastern
Railway, was brought before Mr. Cottinghatu, charged with
stealing a lite crab from amongst a quantity of tish trans-
mitted by one of the early traits. The prisoner was ob.
served by Mr. Shaw, the superintendent of the goods de-
partment, to have something concealed under his coat.
On being croastioned, be stated that ho had only a few
a7p!es which he had feund lying at the bottom co! the truck ;
but this statement being discredited, and a search made, an
enormous crab was disclosed to the slew. The prisoner was
remanded until Thursday to afford an opportunity fur
bringing further charges against him, should any be made.

ARRIVAL OF THE 67TH REGIMENT FROM INDIA.-011
Saturday right, the 12th instant, a detachmeat. comprising
three companies of her Majesty's 57th Foot (West Middle-
sex), arrived at Chatham Barracks, from Gravesend, where
they disembarked from the ship Hindostan, Captain Pook.
Their strength consisted of 10 scrjeants, 5 drummers, and
202 rank and file, with 13 women, and 29 children, under
the command of Captain W. J. Saunders. These troops
embarked at Madras on the 16th of April. The Hindostan
put in at St. Helena, and arrived at Gravesend on the 12th
instant. On the passage sic of the nun died, ono child
died and five children were horn on board. Upon inspection
of the men it was found necessary to forward to the hospital
depot at Fort Pitt about eighty of the soldiers. The 57th
has been in India twenty-two years, and its strength
is about 6-4 men, and their cliptA at this garrison is about
250 strong.
3rd BUFFR.—Three companies of this regiment moved
from Gosport to Portsmouth yesterday, to replace the 74th
Regiment.
Royal. ARTILLERY.—Captain Thorndike's company, 4th
batalion, and Captain D'Arley's company, Ist battalion, are
to embark on Friday next, the former to relieve Captain
Markland's company, 4th battalion, stationed at Barbatlocs,
since December, 1841; and the latter to Bermuda, to relieve
Captain G. R. Wilson's company, 6th battalion, stationed
there, since January, 1842. Lieut.-Col. Strangways, R.A.,
proceeds with the companies to relieve Lieut.-Colonel Bell,
who has been commanding the Royal Artillery at Bermuda
since December, 1843. Surgeon George Farr, of the Ord-
nance Department, also goes with the detachment to relies,
Assistant-Surgeon Ross Ilassard at Bermuda.

CLERK EN WELL—A SUMMONS AND AN Asset:LT.—
1 James Wheekkn, an officer of the Court of Requests in
Kingsgatc-street, Holborn, was charged with the following
outrage upon a poor woman named Bunnell, living at 14,
Hertford-street, Somer's-town. On the 7th inst., the defen-
dant, in company with another man, went to the complain-
ant's
house and inquired for a Mr. Medhurst. The com-
plainant told them no such person lived there. They in-
slated that he did, and declared they would enter the house
and take possession. The poor woman having never before
heard of the name, and not knowing what their intentions
might be, positively refused to admit them ; thereupon the
defendant took out his staff of office (a short truncheon, sur-
mounted by a brazen crown), pushed her uside, and struck
her on the head with the weapon. In spite of all remon-
strance, he insisted upon taking possession, and left his coad-
jutor there while he went out to make inquiries. Ile re-
turned soon after, said he had been under a mistake, that
Medhurst lived at No. 4, instead of 14, and threw the woman
half-a-crown, in order to compromise the affair. She refused
to accept it —The magistrate inquired if the defendant had
produced any authority ?—The com;dainant (putting her
hand to head) said, only the staff.—The magistrate : No
printed paper?—Complainant: None whatever.—The de-
fendant said he showed his warrant. lie admitted the cor-
recto:es of the remainder of her statement —The magistrate
fined the defeadant 11., and costs 2s.
WORSHIP-STREET.—George Creed, alias Green, a
tall, muscular young fellow, was placed at the bar before
Mr. Broughton. charged with beinz a deserter from the
3rd Regiment of Light ))raga .ns, end also with being con-
' cerned with others in assaulting and seriously injuring two
police constables who had effected his capture.—lt appeared
front the evidence that the prisoner, who was identified by
the police as a convicted housebreaker, although only 19
years of age, had been taken into custody by Serjeant Con-
way, in July last, for deserting from the above regiment, and
the magistrate consigned him over to the military authori-
ties. On the road to the dept of his regiment, however,
under the escort of a file of riflemen, he contrived to elude
the vigilance of his guard., and returned to his old haunts
in the neighbourhood of Whitechapel, where he remained
secreted until the preceding evening, when police-coustable
Hope and another officer at length traced him to a low lodg-
ing-house in IVentwerth-street, and took him into custody.
Ihe prisoner went quietly with them for a short distance,
but suddenly expressed his determination to proceed no
further, and struck Hope a violent blow in the tare, which
partially stunned him, appealing at the same time to a large
mob, who had followed them, to assist in his rescue. The
mob thereupon assailed the officers, and after wresting their
truncheons from them, pelted them with brickbats
and other missiles, until they were knocked down and ren-
dered powerless, and the prisoner again effected his escape.
Ile was afterwards recaptured, however, by Serjeant Price
and police-constable Davis, who found him at another lodg-
ing-house, armed with a heavy poker, and declaring that he
would murder the first man who approached him, but they
managed to disarm him before he could curry his threats into
execution. In answer to the charge, the prisoner adu.itted
being a deserter, but said that although he hod certainly keen
a thief, as he had suffered the legal punishment for his
offences, he considered it hard that his former character
should be brought forward to excite a prejudice against him.
Mr. Broughton said, that if the prisoner had altogether
abandoned his former vicious courses, it would have been
obviously improper to allude to them ; but the direct con-
trary appeared to be the fact, and as the constables bad evi-
dently sustained very serious ill-treatment, he should remaud
the case for a week, and in the meantime, consider whether
he should himself adjudicate upon it, or band over the pri-
soner to the military authorities, to undergo the ordeal of a
court martial.

SPORTING.

RACES.

DONCARMIL, MONDAY Ansa:coos, Two O'CLOCll.—rp Saturday
night no very striking indications of the approaching meeting had
been apparent. The day train from London gave something like
animation to the place, and still the show of homes was unusually
small, Kent's lot (Mr. Moats's) being the only addition to the small
number seen out in the morning; none of the "cracks" had made
their appearance, and, so great are the facilities afforded by railways,
it was ascertained that none of Dawson's lot would come before Mon-
day earning; John Scott's string and Sir Tatton Sykes were also to be
kept upon their own ground until the last moment. The only horses
enjoined In the St. Leger, as yet In the town, were Sting, Crauebrook,
Wits-end, Wilderness, Mr. Johnstone's colt, by Jerry, dam by Dior
(said to be a certain starter) Drat., and ',Yin-go-brash, Lord Fein-
ton's two.yearoldn, Christopher, and a few others of less note had
also arrived and took their exercise in the morning with the St. Leger
nags just enumerated. It is usual here, as ut Newmarket, to wes
the betting rooms on Sunday, and, under an impression that
the same acaonunslation as heretofore would be afforded them,
several of the leading speculators, some of them atrengly commis_
atoned, reached Doncaster on Saturday; a great many others arrived
yesterday evening, and from the anxiety evinced in many quarters to
hack Sir Talton Sikes, Brocardo, and Fancy Boy, there Was every
reason to expect come heavy betting ; their mortiflcatioc, however,
was extreme on finding the doors closed against them, and a notice
stuck up announcing that in deference to the wishes of the authorities
the rooms would be closed until Monday. This put business out of
the question, and the day posed away with quietude and decorum.
The arrivals up to the present hour would appear to justify an expec-
tation that with a continuance of fine weather, the meeting will be
well attended.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS• COURT.—YEsTrnntY.

Before Mr. Commissioner Harris.
AN INSOLVENT LENATIC.—An application was made On
behalf of W. Dimsdale, fur his discharge, to enable him to
be removed from Whitecrow-striet to an asylum. Mr.
Alderman Wilson had seen the insolvent and had given a
certificate of his lunacy, as required by the act of par-
liament. The attorney for the prisoner stated to the
Court that the case was originally intended to be brought up
in the usual manner. But while in custody the man had
become insane, and the present mcde had, of necessity, been
adopted. The Commissioner discharged the insolvent.

SURREY SESSIONS.—MONDAY.
Yesterday the adjourned sessions for the county was held
at the Court-house, Newington, before Mr. Puckle (chair-
man), and a bench of magistrates. The calendar is a short
one for the period that has elapsed since the last adjourn-
ment, showing that offences; arc on the decline in the county,
the names of only thirty-four prisoners being set down for
trial fey felony, and nine for misdemeanors. Amongst the
latter offences was one which was commented upon by the
learned chairman in the course of hi" brief address to the
Grand Jury, wherein a man named Whitehead was indicted
for unlawfully resisting a justice of the peace, at Sutton,
with intent to prevent the lawful apprehension of persons
liable by law to be apprehended, and also with having resisted
a police-constable in the exercise of his duty. The Chair-
man, in ref.rence to this particular case, requested the
Grand Jury would be careful in examining all the witnesses,
whose ear es were on the back of the bill, for it not unfre-
qucntly occurred that by such omission bills against offen-
ders were thrown out and suffered to escape from the punish-
ment they so justly deserved.
Thomas Joucs,• boy of fourtcenyears of ago, was indicted
for stealing a large roll of drugget from a tradesman's shop
in Lambeth. The evidence being conclusive, the jury with-
out hesitation returned a verdict of Guilty, upon which the
Chairman was at first inclined to pass a lenient sentence.
He was informed, however, that the present was not the
prisoner's first offence—that he had been repeatedly in cus-
tody before for felony. The Chairman said that it would be
an endless task to commit such an offender for short terms of
imprisonment; this punishment had been tried without the
I desired effect ; and the sentence, therefore, now was, that he
be transported for seven years. The prisoner on hearing the
sentence merely smiled, and grasping some flowers which
happened to be near him in the dock, placed them in the
breast button-hole of his jacket, and tripped down the steps
leading into the body of the gaol as if be was going on a
party of pleasure instead of to exile.

M A HYLEBON E. HANG F.R. OP SCSCEPTIBILITY.
George Hyde was charged with having stolen a silver watch,
the property of Elizabeth Davis, a cook to a gentleman,
who, with his family, is now at Ramsgate. About five weeks
ago as prosecutrix was going along Oxford-terrace in the
es ening she was accosted by the prisoner, who asked her if
he might be allowed to accompany her in her walk, and
afterwards see her Eaftly home. Although a stranger to her
she complied with Lis reques.t, and the gentleman made the
most ot his time, for they bad not got further than the Bays-
water road before he poured forth protestations of ardent
affection, and then and there offered his hand, heart, and
such fortune as belonged to the lot of an employt; of the
Great Western Railway Company. The lady listened, sighed,
and imparted her address, or rather that of her master.
he swain took advantage of the disclosure and visited the
damsel, who, on the third visit, was brought to declare that
provided Mr. Ilyde proved himself respectable and steady
he might hope for Ler consent. In the course of conversa-
tion she mentioned that her watch was being repaired and
her lover volunteered to accompany her to fetch it. He did
so and politely volunteered to carry it. They then
repaired to Bayswater Tea-gardens, where there was a
" merry-making," and after they had partaken of some ale,
the prisoner left her ostensibly for a few moments, under pre-
tence of procuring a cigar, but he disappeared, watch and
all, leaving his victim to wend her sorrowing way to her
master's kitchen, a sadder and a wiser woman than hereto-
fore. When sufficiently recovered she taentioned the cir-
cumstance to the police, who were not long in finding the
Lothario to be, not as he had represented, but the conductor
of a Kilburn omnibus.—The prisoner denied most positively
that he had any knowledge of the proseeutrix or ot her
watch.—She (prosecutrix) was recalled, and as she was quite
positive that she was correct as to the question of identity,
the prisoner was remanded.

POLICE.-YESTERDAY.

WESTMINSTER.—Yesterday, just bifOre the closing of
the court, Thomas Evans, a meanly dressed man. aged
26, described as a clerk from St. Alban's, was brought
before Mr. Burrell, charged with ringing the bell at
Lord John Russell's private residence without lawful es-
cuse.—Charles Johnson, a 'errant in the establishment,
stated that about threefthat afternoon he answered a ring
at the bell, and found defendant standing at the ball-door,
who inquired for his lordship, and said he wished to have an
interview with him. Witness told him that his lordship
was not in town, and that hecould not seehim, but defendant
appeared very unwilling to leave. He did not, however use
any threats, nor did he appear to be a dangerous person.—
Defendant, in a very subdued tone, told an incoherent story
in the course of which he alleged as a reason for calling

MANSION-HOUSE.—A PIIILOSOPHER.—Joim Edwin,
who looked like &simple country lad, was charged with having
stolen several silk handkerchiefs in the course of his ram-
bles on Saturday. The prisoner turned out to be a perfect
" Filch," and a philosopher. Haydon a policeman, stated
that, on Saturday evening, as he was coming ashore from •
steam boat at Swan pier, he saw the prisoner close behind a
gentleman, and observed, from certain movements, that
" something was about to be done." The prisoner walked
i.eliberately out of the vessel, and the officer went round,
met him in Swan-lane, and took him into custody, having
given notice to the gentleman to follow. Upon the person
of the prisoner were found five silk handkerchiefs,

;

upon the Premier that he wished to get a situation by his
influence in a surveyor's office. Mr. Barrel put several
questions to him, obviously with a desire to ascertain his
state of mind, when it was evidcat that, although partially
deranged, he was perfectly harmless. The magistrate then
inquired of defendant whether he had any friends in town ?
—Defendant replied that he had not.—Mr. Burrell there-
fore discharged him. The defendant immediately proffered
his services to the magistrate, assuring him that he would
find in him a very faithful trustworthy person.—Mr. Bur-
rell declined the offer, and had some trouble in getting rid
of defendant's importunities.
LAMBETII. CRUEL PERSECUTION. Yesterday, a
young woman, named Mary Smith, applied to Mr. Elliott
for his advice and assistance under the following circum-
stances.—The applicant stated that having entered the
service of a lady at Vauxhall, and finding the place
not to suit her, gave her mistress notice that she should
leave at the end of the month, her agreement being that she
should give a month's notice. She accordingly left at the
end of the month, and subsequently procured three different
situations, but was deprive d of all of them through the
refusal on the part of the lady to give her the character
which she brought her, or such a one as she deserved while
in her service. The poor girl said, that though she could
very ill afford it, eke had been kept out of a situation for
three weeks by the conduct of her late mistress.—Mr.
Elliott admitted that the case was a hard one on the part of
the applicant, but he regretted to say that he had no power
to interfere in the matter. Ile advised the applicant to nr,ke
another application to her late mistress, and if she refused
to give her such a character as she deserved while in her
service, the party with whom she had previously lived would
not, he thought, object to give her a second character.—The
poor girl said she would act upon his worship's recommenda-
tion, and left the court for that purpose.

THAMES.—SANATORY CONDITION or THE METROPO-
LlB.—Vecterday Mr. Mellish, vest) y-clerk of the parish of
Shadwell, complained before Mr. Broderip of a nuisance
arising from cattle which have died front suffocation on the
passage from Antwerp, and other places, being conveyed
from Blackwell through the streets to Old Gravel-lane, and
there melted down. It was stated that in the last place the
air of the whole neighbourhood is tainted by the effluvia.—
Mr. Broderip, after bearing all the statements made on the
subject, said that this case showed the great necessity which
existed for establishing an efficient system of amatory police,
and that, even as the matter stood, deny tangible case were
brought before him, he should be prepared to deal with it.

The stock market has been in an entirely passive

• RAILWAY NEWS.
The market was dull yesterday; and as many of
the principal dealers in shares are absent for their holidays,
there may probably be little doing for some time to come.
Yesterday was the day for giving names preparatory to the
transfers, and for the settlement of accounts, to-day. Prices
remained with little variation. Dutch Rhenish were
better, and stood at II dis. ; London and Birmingham were
also firm.

The downward tendency of the Liverpool market con-
tinued, and the business was sma'l. It was remarked, how-
ever, that there is no wrest quantity of stock pressing on the
market ; and it is believed that the least return of confidence
would cause a change in the quotations.
The Manchester market continued fiat and heavy: the
business was merely nominal.
At Leeds, the market assumed a worse aspect than it has
presented for some time back : the greater portion of the
transactions were effected at declining prices.
Speculation was brisk in the Parisian railway share
market last week ; there was a general rise is the prices of
all completed lines, with a slight re-action towards the close.
This is always the case; (very sudden upward movement is
followed by a partial fall, which diminishes the total aug-
mentation, the consequence of lucky speculators seeking to
realise. The purchases in the Marseilles and Avignon are
rumoured to have been made for wealthy houses acquainted
with the resources of that line. The rise of the week was
less marked in the shin e i of the northern than in those of
other lines. Thero were great oscillations in the values of
Paris and Rouen and Rouen and Havre. There was a
complete stagnation in the coulisse lines.
