PARIS, TIMMY EVI/41140.
The excitement produced by the Orleans pamphlet
is far from subsiding. Nothing else is talked of.
But I must say that, although the mods de
euriesial which it has obtained transcends all that the
author could have hoped for, its effect as a political
demonstration is nil. I speak, of course, of Paris,
for I cannot tell what may be thought of it in the
departments represented by the Kellers, Plichous,
and Flavignys. But in the metropolis, the con-
stituents of Jules Favre, Emile 011ivier, Picard,
and Darimon, although they think the pamphlet
fine fun, and read it surreptitiously with infinite
gusto, are no whit inclined to encourage the idea of
a restoration of the Orleanist dynasty. They make
a great distinction betwoen the personal part of the
pamphlet and its political programme. That the
Orleans princes are personally guiltless of all
offence towards their country is admitted, and
great sympathy is felt for the clever and dig-
nified answer which they give to insolent attacks
made upon their family by successful rivals. But
their programme, which includes the temporal
power of the Pope and the disunion of Italy, is
altogether obnoxious to the liberal party. The
latter have nothing to learn about the Napoleons,
but they feel that no purpose is to be served by
harping upon the flagitious circumstances which
accompanied the restoration of the dynasty ten
years ago. The only effect of the Orleans "con-
spiracy" (for so, I am told, Count de Persigny
designates it) will be to strengthen the belief of the
liberals that the Emperor must now lean upon
them, and to confirm them in their resolution to
meet him half way.

I am assured that the Procureur-General of
Versailles has been dismissed for his negligence in
allowing the pamphlet to be printed within his
jurisdiction, at St. Germain. It is said that the
Orleans family gave M. Bean, the printer, 100,000 fr.
at a compensation for the loss of his license, which
is sure to follow the publication.
The report that the Duke d'Aumale, previously
to bringing out the pamphlet, sent a challenge to
Prince Napoleon is, I am told, not true ; but I hear
that Prince Napoleon has since asked permission
of the Kmperor to call the duke out, and has been
refused.

The Bourse was firm, but with very little busi-
ness doing. The Rente rose 10e. for cash and
account, closing at 67fr. 75c. Mobiliar rose Mr.
the dividend, it is said, will be 25fr. Railways
were a little higher.
Groups of people were discussing at the Bourse
the import of a circular from the Minister at War
to generals commanding divisions, directing them
to warn all soldiers absent on renewable leave to
hold themselves in readiness to join their regiments.
These men, it is said, will rejoin with their former
rank, as was the case ou the occasion of the Italian
war. There is again a talk of the concentration of
a large army in the eastern departments.
Prince Napoleon, about whose movements this
spring there have been many contradictory reports,
is now said to be positively going to Egypt and
Syria. According to the programme accredited he
will leave the Princess Clothilde at Genoa, where
she will be met by her father, Victor Emmanuel,
who will escort her to Turin.

A young man named Victor, aged 26. was tried
at the Assize Court of Paris yesterday, for having
attempted to murder his wife Victorine, aged 18.
He stabbed her in nine places, but none of the
wounds were serious. The defence was that the pri-
soner was drunk at the time. Itappeared that he was
much attached to his wife, but got on badly with
her mother—a very common case. The wife, who
had sufficiently recovered to appear in court as a
witness, said everything that she could for her
husband, and some letters, written to him while
he was in prison, so moved the hearts of the jury
that they pronounced a verdict of acquittal. In
one of these letters she said—speaking with that
tenderness implied by the mere use of the second
person singular, which the English language does
not know—" I am writing with my wounded hand.
I would begin with the reproaches which you must
expect, but I cannot. . . . Oh ! it is frightful !
Oh ! it is impossible that you should be a
prisoner for life. I should die of grief. 1
forgive you, for I cannot believe that you did it on
purpose. Oh, no ; justice will pardon you. I cease
to write, but not to love." In another letter, re-
ferring to the fact of her having a child eight
months old and being again enciente, she thus elo-
quently expresses herself :

Ten times over I would wish myself dead, wore it not for
three voices which I hear, and which say, "Courage !—you
shall be happy !" Which is the first of these voices ? Oh !
it is the voice of my husband, whom I have never ceased to
love. The second voice is that of my little Marie, who says,
"Courage, mother !—I will love you both, and you shall
both be happy!" And what is the third voice? Oh! that
is a very little one, indeed—one that scarcely breathes as
yet—[re see that Victorine, by the use of the ward
"breathe," is not an adopt in physiology]—but still it gently
heaves in my bosom, and whispers that I am again to become
a mother !

French juries--and their weakness is au amiable
one—never resist such appeals as these.

THEATRICALS AT THE FRENCH COMM.—The
company of the Theatre Nerd performed at the Tuileries
two evenings back, not in the theatre of the palace, which
ham not been used during the present reign, but in the
Salon Blanc of the state apartments, which bad been fitted
up for the occasion. The Salle des Marechaux was the
actors' green-room, and Mdlle. lkjazet•s dressing-room was
contrived between the maguificent caryatides which
decorate this apartment and the baloney towards
the garden. The piece selected by the Emperor
and Empress was the Trutt Uemins. M. Eugene
Dejazet, the author of the piece, and the artiste represent-
ing the different characters, were the only prawns admitted
to the stage. At half-past nine their Majesties entered the
Salon Blanc, which was almost too small to contain the
numerous guest. The Emperor, the Empress, Prince Na-
poleon, the Process Clothil.le, the Prumess Mathilde,and the
Duke of Brunswick occupied a row of arm•chaira; twenty
rows of email chairs were occupied by ladies, while the gentle-
men stood along the sides or sat on sofas in the em-
brasures of the windows. When the illustrious audience
had taker) their seats, the orchestra, directed by M. Bet.
needle, played the overture, and the performance began.
Male. Dejazet surpassed herself, playing the part of Pan-
tan with more than her usual lightness and ■pint. Their Me.
*ties several times gave the signal for applause. The ears
of '• Vie i Quer Sous" and `•Mardi Gras" were espe.
daily successful. The Emperor, at the close, deigned to
compliment M. EuPee Dejuet on the success of the per.
formance.—Gsligeuni.

M. ALEXANDRE DUMAB.—A publisher named
Delevier on Friday brought an action before the Civil
Tribunal against H. Alexandre Dumas, to obtain payment
of 22,600 fr. He showed that be had been engaged with
Dumas in the pelgicatiors of the journal called the Moats
Cristo, sad that the result was that in 184$ that gentleman
was his debtor for 10,29fifr. ; that he subsequently made
advances to Dumas for his expedition to Rums, and Cir-
cassia, and also for the purchase of the brig in which be
contemplatedi visiting the Greek Archipelago—the said ad-
vances, when added to the preceding sum, making the total
claimed. He further said that before leaving Italy, Duress
bad entered into an arrangement to pay lum in aycar, bet
be had not dose so. In reply to the antics Dumas affirmed
that is the Monte Crum affair, Warier bid not acted
fairly by him, sad be throttles prayed that their partner-
ship is it should be declared formally et an end, and more-
over that Dclaviel should be made to pay him damages as
an indemnity for having unjustifiably brought the present
mum. But the Tribunal rejected Dumas' demand, and
ordered him to pay to the plaintiff 22,600 k. in four instal-
ments with Wired, shoo to pay him titiOk. damages and
the costa.

MONUMENT IN WESTMINSTER SCHOOL.
Colonel FRENCH aged the Chief Commissioner at
Works whether his department had sanctioned the placing
of a mediaeval monument on a classical column at the en.
trance of Westminster School.

I[r. COWPER said that it he had been consulted in the
first instance he should have hesitated to sanction such an
incongruity as the placing of a Gothic group consisting of
four sovereigns of England and St. George and the Dragon—
(a laugh)—on a classical oolumn. Now, however, he thought
it would be rather a harsh measure on the part of the com-
missioners to order the removal of the monument, and he be-
lieved that the incongruity had arisen from the draggle
that existed in the committee between the classical and me:

MARYLEBONE ELECTION.

He was for economy and retrenchment io the public service.
Were they aware that sines the accession of William 111.
this coentryhad spent 800,001.1,0001. oo foreign wars? (Hear.)
U there was great waste of public money, it was the duty
of the electors to select those who would cut down expen-
diture to the utmost. The place should not be made for the
man, but the roan for the place. As regarded church
rates, although he was a member of the established church
be thought such imposts ought to be entirely and uncoo•
ditionallv abolished. If placed in pall:anent he would
always be found a consistent law reformer. He was wholly
indifferent to place or miens), -all he wanted was a largo
majority on the poll on the next day. (Laughter.) He
was • strong opponent of centraliastiou as respected the
administration of the poor law. (Cries of "Shut up!"
from the rear of the hustings.) He bad the honour of being
supported by Mr. Williams, nwniber for Lambeth, who add
he would vote for him, and hoped be would always to found
in thesame lobby with him. (A Voice —" Go to Lambeth.")
No ; he would not go to Lambeth—he wished to represent
Maryleboue. (Cries of "Time.") As regarded the income tax
he protested against the present inequalities. The posture
of the We of a lauded estate 'hewed the difference lietweeu
realised income and income derived from the loom. (A
voice, " Have you got any broad acres yourself ?") Yee,
otherwise he should not stand there. .

THE NOWNATION. _(nits DAY.)

The Marylob”ne nomination has been an event
ti no ..olitsary interest ; it has, is fact, been a complete
pi‘ .67 amoog the politicians of that immense borough.
Th. sudileueias of the election, the respectability cd
blend iatelidates, and the general coscurrence of
theu seutiments, have necesearily increased
the difficulty of making selection ; it has, in short,
lean a ease with numbers of " choosing sides," sod up
to the time of the nomination, if not afterwards, the
bebop of a vast wpm-lion of the voting electors, who
toustituto about oue•half the whole (the other half seldom
Lwow taken the trouble to exercise the franchise), might
whale be expressed in the words, " How happy
could I be with either." During the last week the
',elan Partisans of the several candidates have
been snakiag extraordinary exertions to secure for
them a majority of votes. Never was the Marylebone
electioneering organiaation more vigorous. Multitudes
of meetings have been held, the lungs of the
candidates have been straioed to the utmost, and
it is perhaps fortunate for them, physically and
mentally, that the termination of the struggle is so near at
bond. The great expense of the Marylebone election is a
ni-dter of notoriety, and in this point of view it is well for
all tortes who have to pay that the conflict in this case
of such abort duration. Doe fact will illustrate the vast-
sees of the unavoidable outlay. There are is Marylelame
upwards ~f dodos% each of whom has to be sup.
plied by each cambilato with a circular and an election card.
This item of ex punliture alms° will convey some idea of
the greed total.

Mr. WINGROvE C.,ORE said the represeetatim of that
borough might well he looked upon by • lending public man
as a high reward for a long life spent in the service of his
country. Had there been such • candidate he would not
have thoughtof opposing him. His reason for appearing before
them wadi that he thought his dahlia humble as they were,
were greater than those of say other candidate. (Cheers.)
He did not agree with his opponent that the representatiou
of that borough war so light a matter that the person
who first presented himself had, on that account, • right
to that hooour. (Hear, hear.) A priority of 12 hours might
be an advantage in electioneering organiaition, but it ought
Dot to secure the suffrages of intelligent men. (Cheers.)
Mace that advantage, such as it warn, was gained by one of
his opponents, be (Mr. Cooke) had been supported by men
of the highest position and character. Meeting* iu
his favour had been held in all parte of the
borough ; and be trusted that his claims were now generally
known sad appreciated. He was not there MI the ground
of bread acres, nor to tell them that without that advantage
he would not be there at all. He appeared before them as
one of those bruin workers who worked out great problems
which tended to the 4eneral improvement of society. (Hear.)
He was one of the pioneers of reform in isuliarnent, and if
sent to tbe House of Commons he would be found voting
with Maas 00 or 70 members who alone really represented
the people on the reform question. (Loud cheers.) He was
in favour of the abolition of church rates and au equitable
adjustment et the income tax. Upon these and all
kindred subject. he would be found acting with
those who had so kindly tendered him their
support. He was an independent man, he was the nominee
of no one. (Hear, hear.) Wherever he hail appeared in
public he had boldly delivered his opinions. (t proar, awl
cries of "Time.") He was determined to be heard.
(Cheers.) Accusations had been maths against him, and he
had a right to reply. The persons from whom such
' eccumtioes emanated could have no confidence in their
own cause. (Hear, bear.) It had been stated that ho was
the nominee of the Times He would put that statement
down by • very simple story. He had indeed written letters
for the Tiors, and those letters had been put in • book awl
reprinted is foreign languages. He was not ashamed
ell that publication, but, on the contrary, hail felt
proud of its succor.. He had been • literary
man all his life, and it was his semen as a writer that led
the proprietors of the Times to solicit him to go to China.
He went ; he sent lettere to this country, and there hie en-
pgemeat with the Times ended. (Hear.) Instead of being
aroma for rejecting him, he maintained that that literary
achievement was something in his favour. (Cheers.) He had
so 00DneXi712 now with the Tines, and if • kindly feeling
were cherished towards him by the proprietors, that was
surely no reason why be should be rejected if, on his own
independent merits, he were deserving of the honour he
now sought. (" Hear, hear.") During his stay in
Chula he had opportunities of seeing how the
mooey of this country wee expended. The in-
crewing public expenditure was one of the greatest
evils Yet threatened the nation. The only way of check-
ing it was to watch and curtail the estimates submitted to
parliament, and this he was prepared to do to the utmost
of his ability. (Cheers.) The adequate and efficient repre-
sentation of that borough required • knowledge of the
world—of it, politest and commercial intertidal—awl
is this respect he trusted his clems were at
leant equal to those of his opponents. If he went
to parliament, it would be as au independent man ; he
would be found • zealous reformer, and at the ante time a
careful and industrious member for Marylebooe. (Loud
cheers.)
Mr. J. C. MARSIDI.t!I presented himself next. He said
he should not appear in that position if his political prin.
ciples were not in accooleoce with those of the majority.
He declarethimaelf in favour of • wide extension of the
suffrage.
Sir ROBERT CARDCS then came forward, and his appear-
ance elicited uproarious exchunations —whistling, hems,
and some practical deroonetratioes of disapproval, includieg
tho throwing of au orange towards the hustings, which
fortunately fell on the top. These manifestations being eon.
, tinned, Mir Robert addressed himself exclusively to the re-
porters on the huatiop. He said he had been invited
to come forward by • lame and influential body of
gentlemen in the borough. He had filled some Of the
highest civil offices, and he was the only candidate whd
resided and VIIII knows in the borough, where he
hail lived far thirty year He voted for Lord Derby's
reform bill, but for the liberal opposition to which this
country would have had a good substantial measure. As
repided tame, he regretted that the government was not
now prepared to remit those which pressed moat heavily on
the people. Instead of the reduction of the income tax, and
the remission of the paper duty there should have been
a diminution of the tea and suer duties. The repeal of
the paper duty would make no difference whatever to the
people. Tbri:Enny press would still be the penny press,
awl the e themselves would derive no benefit
from the to the revenue. He thanked
the assembly for the cheering acclamations with which
be hal been received. (Laughter.) He had always ho-
nestly done his duty as a magistrate and in other public
apacities, and he believed that on the following day be
would be at the head of theme
t
mid, instead of addressing
than last, address them first.
Twer.verazes said he emu before them m a free and
independent candidate. Whenever he presented him-
self to the electors hie reception had been a
whet ovation, and he bed no doubt that be
would he returned by a /argot majority than
huh ever before been given to a metropolitan candidate.
The great heart of the Wiwi was throbbing with excitement
at the prospect of that election. The people wanted
that dull and sluzish Hams of Commons to
be removed. (Laughter.) Indeed of men like Lord
Palmerston, who bad such • bantering defiant spirit, they
%muted men of earnestness and gravity. He (Mr. Twelve-
trees) was for universal registered suffrage, for which the
trusting unenfranchimed maws were waiting calmly, pa-
tiently, and unreetrainedly. (Cheers.) He was for local self-
government and for open diplomacy. He wished the question
to be decided whether the open sale of intoxicated liquors
was to be permitted. (Derisive laughter.) He was deter-
mined to conceal nothing, but make a clean breast of it
—(Cheers)— and if sent to parliament he would do his best
to further the intereeta of the nation. ((heers.)
Just as the returning officer was about to take the show
of bands • copy of a newspaper, conjectured to be the Times,
was held up, suspended from the top of • stick, in • buru-
Mg state, to the great amusement of the crowd.
On the show of heads there were several hundred hands
bald up for Mr. Lewis, about twenty for Mr. Cooke, about
a dozen for Mr. Hershman, about thirty for Sir It. Carden,
and some hundreds for Mr. Twelvetrees, between whom and
Mr. Lewis this expression of popular feeling was pretty
evenly balanced.
The MITI:MING Oericte said it appeared to him, though
it wee • very difficult question to deciik, that the show warn
is favour of Mr. Lewis—an announcement which wee re-
ceived with tremendous cheering.
Oa the motion of Mr. HARVEY Lxwm, seconded be Mr. J.
C. MA WOMAN, thanks were voted to the returning officer fee
the manlier in which he had dietary., his duties, wad the
crowd, which as the proceediep advanced had become very
nomerraut, shortly afterwards
Mr. Twelvetrees anuousced the be should not go be She
poll.

The nomination took place at II o'clock in the usual spot,
namely, Park-ereeeent, Portlwal.place. At that hour the
public gathering in front of the hustings was not en large
WI might have been expected, but any deficiency in that re.
*peal wa.• amply .upplind on the platform, when there was
one dense group of energetic partisans arranging the plan
of operation+ on behalf of their respective candidates.
.tiliong these were of course many of the most in-
fluential persons in the borough, who, like the
!Addle generally, found themselves strangely divided
and amoviate4 in this unexpected election. What
our neighbours call " h.ownem alfrafe" were in
co.:lnoue force in l'ortLsnd•place, and cabs were moving
shoot eurrouuded with printed invitations to the voters.

The first candidate to arrive on the hustinp wan Sir
Robert Carden, who, on presenting himself, wan hailed with
a hunt of theeTl from his friends, chiefly on the platform,
ate' by the crowd in (root with derisive exclamations, ouch
"4:o home, Carden," " Who prosecuted the child for
I.egzing ":" &c. The other validates quickly followed, their
arrival not eliciting any popular denionstration.

The usual furinalities ii.L;ing been observed,and the re-
t•inuust offieer, Mr. 1,. Tamplio, having briefly addrcesed
the multitude, end claimed a fair hewing for the errand
speaker.,

Mr. P. Gamuts proposed Mr. Harvey Lewis SS •et and
proper person to represent the borough of Maryleboae.
(Cheers.) That gentleman, he said. dat not come forward
as • modidate till he hail been requested to do so by • num-
ber of gentlemen and submitted his claims to a public
meeting, whi.-h decided in his favour. Ho was
first in the held, rust if the result of the elec•
two should be the return of • gentleman who
represented only oat-fourth of the electors, the blame
would be with those who introduced other liberal canal.
&tea Mr. Lewis was once at the her, but having come into
lhs possession of ample means be had for many years
devoted himself t s commercial pursuits. He was wealthy
enough to be above all temptation from any goverment,
sad he (Mr. I:reham) was convinced they could not select
• better man. (Cheers.)

•
Mr. Col LIXS secooded the nomination. He maid they
had rive rutlenieu before them. (A Voice " Four," fol.
lowed by loud laughter.) At all meets they bad tire can-
didates. (Hear, bear.) Ose of them would Do doubt be
glad to obtain a poises judgeship, but that was no name
fee electing him ; another was • moo whose tope.

should have thought that his ambition would have been
suekiently gratified by his elevation to the Lord Mayoralty
of Limbic. ile then protested instroeg teems againet whit
he termed the unfairtiess of the Timm in reporting
ally the speeches of Mr. Cooke. For aught
ke knew that gentleman might be his own re-
porter. At all events, be advised the electors not to
elect anyone at the dictation .4 the nat. (Continued
erne .4 "Tee," which ultimately led the speaker to
withdraw.)

Mr. T. Rose mid his anxiety that the borough should
select a worthy increaser to Mr. Edwin lames in.
duped him to seemed the nomination of Mr. Cooke. He
abould not follow the example of the previous speaker
by traducing other'. What he objected to OD

when he nominated was the brother. in.law of Havelock

exponeet. He (Sir J. Hamilton) would only say of
him that be was • can who had filled the highest situa-
boos with credit to himself, and that his high honour could

like the Kilkenny este, and he (Mir J. Hamilton) would
leave them to themselves, confident that the fitting day

Barley, ow large cargo from the Black See Oats, a few
only, Danish? Swedish, and Dutch.
The trade in English wheat today is very inactive, but
MoodAy's quotations supported where des are effected.
Foreign without change. Barley rather cheaper for grind-
ing descriptions. Malting about the same as on Monday,
but not much business passing.

sells very slowly at Monday's rates.
FIAWR. -No change from Monday in sacks or barrels, but

FRIGFITYIIL FATALITY AT Till MARSH-LAWS
grarpos.-0e Monday morning, at as early hour, a shock-
ing and fatal accident occurred at the Marsh-lane station,
to John Carlton, a guard in the employment of the North-
Eastern
leg ay. The decease., who resided at Selby,
was the of a goods train, and, in the discharge of his
duty, be toecap!, ou two waggons in order to complete
the train. He had gone between them for this purpose,
and it in supposed that the links of the chain by which the
1
lri are attached had somehow become entangled and
11.aloogitudinally. The engine propelled the carriages
forward, and Calton, not perceiving his danger, was forted
upon the chain, which penetrated the lower part of his
body and nearly through to the back. He then fell down
upon the rails, and two of the waggons passed over him,
frioturing both his legs. The unfortunate man was imme-
diately taken up, but he only moaned once or twice and
then expired. The inquest upon the body was held at the
Town Hall, by Mr. Blackburn, and a verdict of "Acci-
dental death" returned. The deceased was 4$ years of age.

Owing chiefly to a rumour that it is not unlikely
that a fresh reduction will take place to-morrow
in the Baulk of England rate of discount, the
stock markets are firmer to-day; notwithstanding
the inactivity of business the funds have risen k
per cent. British railway stocks are rather slow to
respond.

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at
67fr. 75c., being the same as yesterday.
Consols are officially marked 91i, ,ii,
and 3 for money, and 92 and 91{ fur the ac-
count. The present quotations are 91/ to 92
for money, and 92 to for the 9th of May.
The official business report is as follows:—Bank
Stock, 229} ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 90, t, 90
New Three per Cents., 90, ; India Five per
Cent. Stock, 1001, ; ditto Four per Cent.
Debentures, 1858, 961; ditto Bonds, 10s., 16s.
die. ; Five per Cent. "enlaced" rupee paper, 931,
j, s ; ditto Five-and-a-Half per Cent., 1004
Exchequer Bills, 3s. dbl., par.
Scarcely any business has been done in the
foreign stock market. Prices have scarcely
varied. The Turkish Loan of 1854 is dull, at
70 to tr, ex div., and that of 1858 at 73
to I. No transactions are reported in Mexican.
Sales are recorded as follows :—Dutch Four per
Cent. Certificates, 98a, ex div.; French Four
and-a-Half per Cents., 94fr. (exchange 215 fr) ;
Russian Three per Cents., 1859, 813 ; Turkish
Six per Cents., 1854, for account, 70}, ex div.

Mr. Gladstone's financial statement has been
received with satisfaction by the commercial public,
being more favourable than had been generally
anticipated. The manner in which the estimated
surplus arrived at by him is to be disposed of meets
with not a little criticism, but much relief is felt at
the announcement that no fresh taxation is re-
quired, not even to clear up the expenses of the
China war, now happily terminated. The consider-
able degree of elasticity still exhibited by the
revenue, in the face of a checked trade and a very
deficient harvest, furnishes a fresh illustration of
the solid basis upon which the prosperity of the
country rests.

The supply of money in the discount market con-
tinues largely in excess of the demand. The best
bills are taken at et to 4} per cent. The Bank of
England have accordingly parted with the bulk of
their business. The applications at that establi'h-
ment yesterday were very limited. Considering the
strongly pronounced tendency of the market, au
opinion is expressed that the Bank rate of discount
will be lowered to 4} per cent. within • fortnight.
Meanwhile, as the value of money falls, the Con-
tinental exchanges are falling likewise. This move-
ment will probably continue until the gold which
was lately imported from the Continent will begin
to flow back thither.

About 10,0001. in gold was sent into the Bank yes-
terday The influx thither in now diminishing,
owing to the absence of supplies frcni Australia,
and to the reduction in the imports from the conti-
nent. Very little gold will now probably be re-
ceived from the latter quarter
The Tasmanian will take to-day 25,00301. is
silver for the West Indica.

On Change yesterday afterno,n bills on the Con-
tinent were in much demand, and a general, and is
several instances important, fall, occurred in the
rates. Subjoined is our usual list :
