THE UNITED STATES.

ARRIVAL OF THE HUMBOLDT.
SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 6.

The United States mail steam-ship Humboldt,
Captain Lines, arrived off Cowes, en route, from
New York to Havre, last evening. Her English
mails, passengers, and specie, having been tran-
shipped in the usual way, reached Southampton
per tender about ten p.m. The voyage of the
Humboldt has been delayed considerably beyond
the expected time, in consequence of an accident
happening to her machinery, by the breaking of
one of the crank pins. The reparation was obliged
to be effected at sea, during which time (two days)
the Humboldt was deprived of the assistance of
her engines.
The Humboldt had on board 181 passengers ;
amongst whom were Mr. Lewis Cass, jun., United
States Minister to Rome, several members of the
family of General Dix, Captain Wynam, United
States Navy, and Colonel Murray and family. Her
specie amounted in value to $670,000, of which
$267,000 are for London.
The Humboldt's advices are to Oct. 22.
The English iron screw steam-ship Glasgow ar-
rived out at New York, from Glasgow, on the 21st
ult. with 380 passengers on board.
The Humboldt brings no news of importance.
Dates from Vera Cruz had been received at New
York to the Bth October. The intelligence reports
that the Jesuits were re-established in Mexico, and
that General Arista intended witnessing the war
betwixt Turkey and Russia. The Sisters of
Charity had been rendered bankrupts, through the
defalcadons of their cashier, their debt amounting
to several hundred thousand dollars,
Distressing accounts of the ravages of yellow
fever are received from Bermuda to the 12th ult.
The disease had assumed the character of a plague,
and seemed to baffle the skill of the medical.
profession.
Brevet Brigadier-General Childs, of the regular
army, had died at Tampa Bay of yellow fever.
Another steam-boat explosion had taken place.
The name of the vessel is M'Daniel. Four per-
sons were killed and several wounded.
The New York Herald publishes a tabular
statement of the number of deaths which had taken
place on board the emigrant ships arriving at that
port subsequent to the 9th September. Of 7,701
passengers, 359 had died, and there is no doubt
the cause of death was cholera. The ship Sagada-
bock, which arrived at Boston on the 21st October,
reports that 70 of her passengers had died of that
disease. _ _ .

Steps were being taken by a party designating
themselves the " Irish Confederates of '4B " to give
John Mitchell an " appropriate " welcome upon
his arrival at New York.

A very extensive fire was raging at Louisville
when our despatches left. There had been then
consumed the greater portion of a whole street, in-
cluding the Journal newspaper office, a rolling
mills warehouse, a large tobacco warehouse, and
an extensive drug establishment, together with the
whole of their contents.

A collison upon the railroad at Coatsville has
killed two men connected with trains, and wounded
a third rather seriously. The passengers fortu-
nately escaped unhurt.
A Jerusalem plough, and other articles from the
Holy Land, had arrived at Boston, for the Crystal
Palace.
Jullien's farewell concert at New York took place
on the evening of the 21st of October. This con-
cert, although his forty-ninth consecutive one, was
crowded to overflowing.
The cattle show of the American Institute has
closed.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company have
decided to increase the rate of toll on coal, com-
mencing from the Ist of November, to $2 25c. per
ton. The previous rate was $1 75c.
At Washington, Mr. Bronson had been dismissed
by the President from the collectorship of the port.
Other changes were also taking place.
The panic in the Stock Market had not abated at
New York, and a further decline in prices had been
submitted. Breadstuffs declined, although latest
accounts reported a steadiness in flour. Freights
remained firm. In provisions, pork continued to
depreciate. The wool market was more depressed,
and holders would have accepted lower rates, pro-
vided they could have effected sales thereby. In
cotton little was doing, at irregular rates.
Foreign exchange was dull, and bankers' best
bills were offered at 109',;, but were not in demand.

ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA.
LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY, 6.30 P.M.
By the Royal Mail stea-ner Canada we have ad-
vices from New York to the 25th, and Boston to
the 26th ult.
She has 275,110 dollars in specie on freight.
The Canada passed a large steamer, supposed to
be the America, hence for Boston, on the 3d. inst.,
in lat. 25, long. 50.
The news from Washington is unimportant.
Telegraphic accounts from Norfolk state that
the steamer Northern Light had put in there on
the 25th ult., with Californian advices of the Ist
of October, and 1,50E1,000 dollars in golddust on
freight.
The general news presented no feature of in-
terest.
The San Francisco markets were dull, and prices
were favourable to buyers.
In consequence of derangement in the wires of
the telegraph, the further details of the news from
California had not been re-rived.
The Crescent City steamer had arrived at New
Orleans, with Havannah accounts to the 19th ult.
The arrival of the new Captain-General was daily
looked for with considerable interest.
Shipping at Havannah continued scarce, and
freights were high.
Mr. W. H. Webb, the ship-builder of New York,
had been awarded a contract by the Emperor
Nicholas to build a line-of-battle ship for the Rus-
sian
navy, of 100 guns, and double engines of
500-horse power, to be propelled by the screw.
The packet ship Western World, from Liverpool,
with 600 passengers on board, had been wrecked
on Squarek Beach, near New York. Passengers
and crew saved.
The cholera had been very prevalent on board
the ships arriving at New York from England and
the continent. The number of deaths on 22
packet ships that had arrived there was 359, prin-
cipally from chOlera.
The ship Sagadahock, arrived at Boston from
Gottenburg, lost 70 passengers on the passage.
The Benjamin Adams and New York, from
Liverpool, had had 16 deaths on board each, and
the Marmion 34 deaths—all from cholera.
A large amount of business had been transacted
in the New York stock market. Prices were rather
fluctuating, but, upon the whole, a better feeling
was manifested. Cumberland Coal Company

vised per Arabia still continued to pervade the
cotton market. The sales from the 18th to the
24th were estimated at 66,000 bales, at a reduction
varying from 4to 1 cent per lb. flolders of flour
were willing sellers, and a decline of 61c. per barrel
on common brands took place, and lower prices
would have been taken to make sales. Small sales
of Indian corn wore made for good Western mixed
and. Southern white. Provisions in good demand,
at firm prices for beef and pork.
Freights to London.—Flour, 4s. 9d. per barrel ;
wheat, ls. 4d. per bushel.

SANITARY PROCEEDING UNDER THE FACTORY ACT.—
Mr. R. Baker, sub-inspector of factories in the West
Riding of Yorkshire, preferred informations before the
magistrates at the petty sessions at Otley, near Leeds,
on Friday, against Messrs. Baldwin, Brown, and Co.,
of Yeadon, for not having whitewashed their two mills
within the time prescribed. by law. It appeared that in
the middle of September, Mr. Baker had visited these
mills and found the whitewashing omitted, and that he
then directed it to be done ; but on a subsequent visit
paid to the same premises a month afterwards, he dis-
covered that though the walls had been whitewashed the
ceiling had not. The magistrates decided it was a bad
case, and inflicted two full penalties of 101. and costs.
RE-OFENING OF GRACECHURCIFSTREET.—The repairs
of this street with wooden blocks, having been completed
in a very short space of time, the thoroughfare has been
re-opened for traffic, to the great convenience of one of
the mast important lines of road in the metropolis.

THE BRAZILS.

ARRIVAL OF THE BRASILEIRA.
LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.
The screw steamer Brasileira, D. Green com-
mander, the pioneer of the South American Gene-
ral Steam Navigation Company's line of steamships
between Liverpool and the Brazils, arrived in the
Mersey shortly after 11 o'clock this morning. The
Brasileira has made the entire voyage out and
home in '73 days, and brings dates as follows :
Buenos Ayres, September 30th, Monte Video, Oct.
Ist, Rio do Janeiro 10th, Bahia 14th, Pernambuco
16th, St. Vincent 23, and Lisbon Nov. Ist..
The Brasileira left Rio Janeiro with 100 pas-
sengers on board, part of whom landed at Bahia,
Pernambuco, and Lisbon. Her cargo consists of
coffee, wool, hair, and a small quantity of specie
and diamonds.

The Brasileira left Liverpool on the 24th of Au-
gust, and encountered a heavy gale in the Channel,
but arrived at Lisbon under five days. She called
at St. Vincent on the 6th of September, but, the
weather not admitting of her coaling quickly, she
went on to Pernambuco, and reached there on the
night of the 12th, making the passage in 19 days 12
hours from Liverpool, including stoppages. She
coaled at Bahia, and reached Rio on the 19th, un-
der 26 days from Liverpool. After a detention of
three days in Rio, discharging cargo, &c., she
sailed for Monte Video on the 22d, and reached
there on the morning .of the 27th, landing her
goods on the 35th day, and at Buenos Ayres on
the 36th day, from Liverpool--a thing unprece-
dented in the commercial annals of that country.
The Brasileira left Monte Video on her return on
the Ist of October, and arrivecl,at. Rio Janeiro on
the 6th, having experienced' contrary winds and
much head sea. She remained at Rio till the 10th,
and has, therefore, made her return voyage in the
same time as the outward one (26 days), having
had to steam the entire, distance with very littla
assistance from her canvass—a result that gives
another signal triumph to the screw. Out of the
73 days consumed on the voyage, she was 17 days
in port, making 56 days for nearly 14,000 miles of
distance, or an average of fully 240 miles a-day.
The Lusitania, another of the company's steamers,
also built by Mr. Laird, underwent a trial trip on
Friday between Liverpool and the North-West
Light-ship, and attained an average speed of 12i
knots per hour at the measured distance between
the North-West Ship and Bell Buoy. This rate of
steaming gives every hope of the Lusitania even ex-
celling the Brasileira's performance.
On arriving at Lisbon on the homeward passage,
the Brasileira was placed in quarantine, where she
remained for 24 hours, coaling, &c.
Mr. Hadfield, the secretary of the company,
went out in the steamer Argentina, and has re-
turned in the Brasileira. From him every facility
has been received, as also from Captain Green
and the purser.
The Brasileira passed the company's steamers
Olinda, within a few hours' sail of Pernambuco, and
the Lady Eglinton (steamer of the 24th of October)
to the northward of Lisbon.

The Royal mail steamer Severn arrived at Rio
Janeiro, from Southampton, on the Bth of October.
The following vessels had called at the Cape
Verds ptior to the 23d of October :—The Royal
West India Mail Company's steamer Camilla, from
England, on the 16th of October, and sailed again
on the 19th, for the Brazils ; the General Screw
Company's steamer Harbinger, from England, ar-
rived on the 19th, and sailed again on the 20th ;
the Hamburg steamer Emilie, on the 21st, from
Liverpool, and sailed again on the 22d ; the brig
Atalanta, from Swansea, with patent fuel ; the Wil-
liam Pitt and Penelope, from Cardiff, with coals ;
the "United States' brig-Of-war Perry, of the African
squadron • and the trader Samuel Rogers.
The following is a list of the Btitish and foreign
vessels of war at the different ports of call :—At
Buenos Ayres, the Brazilian steamer Thetis, and.
brigs Birniz and Eoleo. At Monte Video, English
steamers Vixen and Locust ; the French war ves-
sels Chasseur, Galatea, and Andromede ; the
Spanish steamer Luiz Fernando ; and Brazilian
steamer Amazonas, and corvettes Emma Francesco
and Imperial Marinheiro. At Rio Janeiro, the
Crescent, Bonita, and Centaur. At. Bahia, the
Star, English. At Cape Verds, the United States'
brig Perry.
- -

The Brasileira brings accounts of the steamer
Argentina, belonging to the same company, having
made a most successful debut in the river Plate.
She arrived at Monte Video on the 11th of Septem-
ber, and it appears that from the 14th, when she
made her first trip to Buenos Ayres, up to the Ist
of October, when she brought down the mails and
passengers for the Brasileira, she had steamed
2,000 miles of distance, including a trip of some
300 miles up the river Parana.
In Buenos Ayres all remained quiet, and business
in imports was brisk.

The advices from Monte Video are to the Ist of
October. Great excitement had existed there for
several days, and a change of Government had
finally taken place, owing in a great measure to
the refusal of the President Giro to comply with
the reiterated supplications of the moderate party
that he would remove certain military commanders
of the interior towns, who had conducted them-
selves obnox'ously to the more enlightened
part of the people by their conduct during the late
war. After several days of suspense, the President
took refuge in the French Consulate, giving out
that he did so for self-protection, and he has since
considered it advisable to embark on board the
French frigate Andromede, accompanied by his
friend and Minister, Don B. Berro. A provisional
Government had been formed, composed of Ge •
nerals Rivera, Lavallejo, and Flores, the last
named marching . into the interior with a strong
body of troops, in order to suppress any at-
tempt against the authority of the new Govern-
ment. From the despatches received, however, the
majority of the departments had declared in favour
Of the change. The Ministers named by the Pro-
visional Government were :—Don Juan C. Gomez,
Foreign Affairs ; Colonel D. LOrenzo Battle, War
and Marine ; and Don Santiago Sayago, Finance.
Trade had been much depressed by th above dis-
turbances, but it was hoped it would soon improve
again. There was a large naval force at Monte Video,
chiefly French and Brazilian.

There was no news of importance from either
Bahia or Pernambuco. The yellow fever had en-
tirely disappeared at both places. At Pernambuco
the necessary capital had been subscribed for the
formation of a company to run steam-boats from
that port to Ceara,' and intermediate ports to the
northward, and to Maceio to the south.
From Lisbon there is no particular news. The
Queen's accouchement was hourly expected. Her
Majesty's steam-frigate Odin was the only English
vessel of war at Lisbon.

THE MURDER IN BUCKS.

The inhuman atrocity perpetrated at Burnham Abbey
has excited the inhabitants of the district for miles
around ; and from an early hour on Saturday morning
up to an advanced period of the evening, Burnham Abbey
Farm, the scene of the murder, has been visited by hun-
dreds. Indeed, since the murder committed by Tawell
some eight years ago, at Slough, about two miles from
here, nothing approximating to the horror now enter-
tained has been witnessed or could have been antici-
pated. It has been already stated that the groom,
Moses Hatto, was apprehended on suspicion of being
the murderer, but it yet remains to be explained upon
what ground his arrest was decided on by the police,
inasmuch as the facts were not elicited before the coro-
ner. It appears from the statements of Superintendent
Perkins, of Eton, Superintendent Thomas, of Slough,
and Superintendent Symington, of Burnham, in whose
hands the case had been placed by the magistrates, that,
notwithstanding the perfect freedom which Hatto had
enjoyed subsequent to the discovery of the burning body
of the deceased, their suspicions of the man's guilt
were strong, and as they silently yet minutely inves-
tigated the circumstances attending the awful occur-
rence, they became further fortified, the result of which
was their decision to arrest him on the charge on Fri-
day morning. Upon taking Hatto 'into custody at the
farm, he deported himself in a manner which, to their
experienced judgment in criminal matters, betrayed the
insolence of a person studying to play the character of
one innocent of the crime, yet betraying in the boldness
of the embodiment the reverse of the impression that a
consciousness of innocence might have made. The pri-
soner was not then aware of the matter in possession of
the police, nor, indeed, is he at this moment, and con-
sequently he preserves the same insolent bearing in the
police station at Eton, where he is now under remand.
The three superintendents, acting upon the informa-
tion furnished by Mrs. Bunce, wife of the foreman of
Mr. Goodwin's arm,-off the- deceased's complaint to her
a few hours before the murder, of the offensiveness of
Hatto in his language, gleaned the fact of the young
woman having, on the night prior to her unhappy death,
been to Burnham village to post some letters, and of
her being accompanied a portion of the distance home
by a former fellow-servant named John Marsh, of Mills
Farm, Brittle, who had been paying her some attention,
and whose regards were reciprocated. This, it appears,
had considerably augmented the dissatisfaction of Hatto,
who, also had been manifesting an affection for the de-
ceased, who so far from encouraging his passion, re-
pulsed him, and, indeed, treated his advances as ema-
nating from one beneath her in station, she, in fact,
holding the position of housekeeper, while the prisoner,
though called a groom, in point of fact only performed
the duties of stableman, and was of a disposition far
from calculated to impress with faveur a young woman
of taste, such as undoubtedly the deceased was for one
in her walk of life—a fact amply testified by the little
matters found in the unfortunate girl's bed-room subse-
quent to the butchery inflicted upon her. The police,
having satisfied themselves of the jealous feeling of the
prisoner, then closely examined the premises, and found,
from the statement of Mr. Goodwin, the deceased's
master, that her constant custom, prior to retiring to
bed, was to take whatever plate might have been in use
during the day from the sideboard-drawer in the par-
lour, and lock it up in an upstairs room. On the night of
the murder the plate was not removed from the ground
floor, nor was it at all disturbed—a fact fully convincing
the officers that no burglar had committed the atrocity.
It was also perfectly clear to them that the few rings
and two pencilcases missed by her master had been
taken, not for their intrinsic worth, but merely to give
a colouring for suspicion of a robbery, whereas, if plun-
der had been the object, there was a valuable quantity
of plate easily removable. There is in the room where
the deceased was burning fearful evidence of a desperate
struggle with her assassin ; and so, indeed, is there in
the narrow gallery leading to the apartment, and on the
walls of which are several impressions of, from the size,
a female hand stained with blood. Subsequent to the
violence here used, the last and most desperate effort of
the deceased is presented by the appearance of her bed-
room. The body was found lying before the fire-place,
the head in the direction of the window. Marks of
blood are in various parts of the room, a complete splash
being as far up as the mantel-piece, while on one side of
the floor, near the bedstead, are drops of blood, as if they
had trickled down while the poor woman was flying
about in the hope of escaping with life, or at least pro-
longing existence.
The police officers have gleaned from the foreman
Dunce a material contradiction of a statement made by
Hatto, on the first day.of the coroner's inquiry. The
prisoner stated, hearing the dog barking, he alarmed
Dunce ; but the latter most positively asserts that he
was not called to by him. His statement is that, hear-
ing the dog bark, he got up and went to the window of
his bedroom, which he opened and looked' through for
the purpose, listening, his wife observing that no doubt
some birdcatchers were about the adjoining hedges. At
length hearing footsteps in the yard at the rear of his
master's dwelling, he called aloud, and for some minutes
received no reply. Calling, again, however, while in
the act of dressing himself, the prisoner came to the
yard-wall separating his (Bunce s) cottage from that
area, and said, "It's me. The colts have got out, and
I've come to tell you." If this statement be correct,
the police consider that their prisoner ought to have
answered when first challenged by Bunce. The state-
ment of Mrs. Bunce is, that she heard Hatto call to
her husband, but the latter persists that she was asleep
when he first cried out " Who's there ?" and that she
only awoke at the moment when the accused replied to
his repeated summons.
Such are the grounds of suspicion upon which the
officers are acting, but it is right to observe that they
have just become masters of grave facts, which they do
not consider themselves at present justified in disclosing.
The police, assisted by the farm labourers, have been
searching the water-closets and other places about the
premises, in the hope of discovering the rings and two
pencil-cases, stolen from Mr. Goodwin's dressing-table,
but as yet their search has not proved successful.
The clothes worn by Hatto on the evening of the
murder were taken by Superintendent Symington to
London, to be submitted to Professor Taylor for an
analysis.

THE FRAUDS UPON THE LIVERPOOL CORPORATION. - -
William Rowson (contractor) and William Clark (clerk),
whose cases were remanded on the 29th ult., were again
brought before the magistrates at the Liverpool Police
Court, on Saturday, and after a lengthened examination
were committed for trial at the assizes. They were
admitted to bail—Rowson in 1,0001. and two sureties in
500 g. each, and Clark in 5001. and two sureties in 2501.
each.

ROBBERY AT THE POST-OFFlCE.—Another of those
peculiar and mysterious robberies which, of late, have
been so frequent in the metropolis, took place on Thurs-
day night, at the.branch post-office in Lombard-street,
and from the manner in which it was accomplished
there is little doubt that it must have been committed
by members of a practised gang. The office, as our
readers may be aware, is situate in a.narrow court lead-
ing but of King William-street into Lombard-street,
and at the close of the day's post is left in charge of the
housekeeper and some attendants, who occupy the floor
above the letter department. On the place being opened
on Friday morning, it was discovered the office had been
entered by a window which overlooks the small yard ad-
joining St. Mary Woolnooth church, access to which
could be obtained by scaling the church railings in'King
William-street. The window is protected by several
iron bars, spiked ; but it seems there is sufficient space
at the top to admit of an expert burglar,, after lowering
the window, to pass through, and drop into the office.
It was by this means that the entry was effected. The
drawers were ransacked, and there is little doubt that
the burglars anticipated finding a number of money and
other valuable registered letters, awaiting despatch by
the various foreign mails, situate, as the branch is, right
in the heart of the banking establishments. In the an-
ticipated existence of such spoil, however, they were
disappointed.. They broke open one of the desks,' and
stole 41. or Si. in gold and silver, but a drawer which
contained 170/, in gold escaped their notice. • In the
absence of things more valuable they took possession of
some of the clerkir clothing, and depositing the whole in
a letter bag, the thief put on, it i 4 thought, a postman's
coat, and 'opening the door, marched up the court into
the street, and so got clear off. Considering the exposed
situation of the yard under the window, it is somewhat
remarkable how the robbers could have found an oppor-
tunity to enter the place without being observed, as
persons are passing at all hours of the night.—Dispatch.

and Co. do not at present counsel the adoption of the
machine in the higher classes of lithographic printing,
but it is quite obvious that for maps, circulars, book
illustrations, and the like, it offers advantages of which
the commercial and publishing community will be glad
to avail themselves. It is difficult to predict the uses to
which lithography, under these circumstances, may pre-
sently be applied. The ease and quickness with which

DESTRUCTIVE CAT AL INUNDATIOYS

The Cork Examiner of Friday contai
additional particulars of th

jnundations:--

it will exceed 60,0001.
" Considerable doubt still
persons who lost their live!

Patrick's-bridge, but the general opinion is that the
number did not exceed seven or eight. A young woman
named Crowly, who had a most providential escape, thus
describes the scene she witnessed :—Crossing the bridge
at half-past twelve o'clock, she stopped, with others, to
look at the dreadful flood ; behind her was a woman with
two nicely-dressed childreri, one in her arms, endeavour.
ing to hasten forward. The ground suddenly cracked at
her feet, a crash was heard, she sprang forward, and
was saved ; looking back she saw the woman and two ,
children fall down the fearful chasm and instantly perish. )
The right wheel of an outside car passing at the moment
was caught by a fissure ; the driver violently whipped
his horse, the animal dashed forward, the wheel was dis-
entangled, the vehicle, driver, and one lady who sat on
the off side were saved, but two ladies who sat on the -
right side were precipitated by the sudden jerk front ,
their seat, and fell with the heap of ruins into the
raging torrent. A woman named Fitzgerald, with a '
basket on her arm, going with her husband's breakfast,
having fallen in, held for a little while by a broken
ballustrade which lay above the surface of the water,
but quickly dislodged, she was borne away still
floating below the bridge. A woman named Roche,
who lived near the North Chapel, and three yoking
men, labourers from Killeens, of excellent character,
named Murphy, Callaghan, and Finnegan, are said to be
among the sufferers. The names of two of the women.
who lost their lives by the falling of the bridge, have
been ascertained to be Margaret Lynch and Catherine
Daly. It was arranged that they should meet on
Patrick's-bridge at twelve o'clock, and unfortunately for
themselves they were too punctual to their appoint-
ment. Margaret Lynch was a married woman, and lived
in Brown-street ; the other woman, Catherine Daly, re-
sided at Gardiner's•hill.
" Amongst the persons supposed to have been lost by
the falling of the bridge, is a young man named Buckley,
who was employed as a porter in the establishment of
Mr. James Hogg, Patrick-street. Buckley left the shop
at a quarter 'past eleven o'clock on Wednesday, with
orders to call with goods at some places over the bridge, -
and has not been heard of since. He was a married
man, and leaves a wife and child to deplore his probable
loss.

"A man named Cornelius Delea, a labourer, from the
neighbourhood of Barrack street, is missing since Wed-
nesday, and is supposed to have been drowned off the
bridge. As yet !none of the bodies have been found,
and it is very doubtful whether any of them will be re-
covered.

"On last evening, under the direction of the magis-
trates about 150 families received tickets for relief in the
shape of coal, bread, and straw, through the agency of
the mayor's secretary, Mr. Pierce Fitzgerald, assisted by
two of the constabulary. This morning 250 families re-
ceived similar relief. At an early hour the mayor per-
sonally visited several houses in the Marsh for the pur-
pose of ascertaininr, their condition, and the best mode
of affording some alleviation of the privations they had
to undergo.
"It is somewhat singular that the inhabitants of
Queenstown, Monkstown, and Passage were quite igno-
' rant of the destruction that was going on through the
city. Several ladies left Queenstown and Passage for
the purpose of making purchases in Cork, but were glad
to escape to their respective homes with the least pos-
sible delay.
