tooreg,we were rather surprised at not ladingdam malt snore
numerous. The meet attractive are—lret, a magntßoust

The value of this sender is, we undentend, 4,0001., and It
is certainly very creditable both to Pruner worlonanaldp

pearls and emeralds, and the King of the Belgian • box of
Brussels Ire estimated to be worth 1,0001. Lady Pelminten
