strations. When I find among the great landed inte-
rests of England all classes alive to their own position,
and to see the policy which may extricate them from it,
I cannot doubt that we shall be successful, and that my
country will be not a second-rate republic, but a first-
rate monarchy.—(Cheers.) I have treated this subject
economically, because the opinion of the times is inclined
to economy, and because that way of treating it is rather
endured by us by our forlorn
position in conseq uenc
the legislation which we have had in the present day.
e of
Bat I never can consent that this great question of the
land of England shall be argued on such narrow and
limited considerations. In this age of perfidy and
cowardice, I am not ashamed to say that I am prepared
to uphold and maintain the constitutional preponderance
of the land of England. Ido so because I recognise all
the institutions which have made our country so eminent
as having their root and origin in the land—that imme-
morial throne which reconciles the majesty of the law
with the freedom of the subject—the sacred spires of
that patriotic Church that has at all times guarded the
popular privileges and formed the national character—
the brave front of those high-spirited Parliaments
' that have educated the people of England in a com-
prehensive and practically enlightened freedom; be-
cause I recognise in the territorial principle the real
and only source of stability in the State; because in the
laws, the customs, the manners, the influences, the
traditions connected with the land, I see the origin
of that noble and indefatigable ambition that
pervades all classes of the community—the true aristo-
cratic principle that has taught every Englishman—by
the plough or at the loom—in the gilded saloon or in the
ermined senate—that it is his privilege to aspire and his
duty to excel. [The Hon. Member resumed his seat
amidst prolonged cheering.]
GEORGE BROWN, Esq., banker, of Colchester, proposed
the next toast, namely, " The Members for the Northern
Division of the County," which was drunk amidst enthu-
siastic applause.
Sir JOHN TYRELL returned thanks.
Major BERESFORD, M.P., also acknowledged the com-
pliment.
After drinking some other toasts of a local character,
he meeting 5eparate,...........

there is a surplus in the Exchequer or not, but if a great
man in public life tells us what be would do
will if he ha
lowd
one, it equally shows his policy. That you al,
with me, to be true. Now, what have you heard your-
selves of late? Yon have heard one Minister get up
and tell you you must repeal the duties on raw material
and also the duties on articles that enter into general
consumption; another, that we must have recourse to
direct taxation ; and another, that we must further
reducekthe duties on timber or tea. But you never find
any man get up and do that which I think is moat
natural, certainly what is most honest, and, as I think I
shall show you, what is by far most politic, most advan-
tageous for the country, and particularly advantageous
for the agricultural body; and that is, to reduce the
national debt. Every man thinks, when he has got a
surplus, that he must take off the ditties on timber, or
tea, or some other foreign produce, but he never thinks
of dealing with the national debt, which is the debt of
the nation, and the interest of which, if it is not reduced,
you must continue to pay. In twenty-three years of
war you increased that, debt 630 millions; in thirty-
six years of peace you have reduced the debt only
one-eighth. I want to know how that is to end. It
must be obvious how it will end. It must be obvious,
that if on our present system we can scarcely make
the two ends meet—if, the moment we have a
surplus, foreign articles are admitted free of duty,
which is so much gain to the foreigner—when
the moment of difficulty arises, our resources can
only be raised by taxing property; and as all other pro-
perty is in its nature evanescent, that
f taxatio
land
n must
ultimately be raised from real property—rom the
of England. My opinion is, that we ought to pay our
debts before we take off the taxes on foreign imports.—
(Immense cheering.) I am sure it would be more
honourable, and I think before I conclude I shall be able
to show—though I shall not venture to trespass much
longer on your attention—that it will be more advan-
tageous to the peculiar interests of the land—and lam
glad that what is of advantage to the nation is also in a
peculiar sense advantageous to the land, because it shows
that in your case, as in all others, honesty is the best
policy.—(Cheers.) My opinion is that there ought to be
u sinking fund, and I support the establishment of a
sinking fund for three principal reasons. In the first
place, if you had such a sinking fund you would put an
end to all that tampering with the resources of the
nation which has really brought us into our present
position. Because, if this matter had been duly known
to the people of England, they never would
have allowed the corn-laws to be repealed, and we
never should have found ourselves in the ter-
rible position which we have now to encounter.
I support a sinking fund, then, in the first
place, because I think it will terminate that system of
tampering with the resources of the country, and put an
end to that organized arrangement of what you may call
political economy quackery—(Cheers)—which has
brought this state of things about, that with an increasing
population and a diminishing taxation you find as much
difficulty as ever in meeting those engagements which
you have to encounter. I support, therefore—and I
hope I shall induce you before I finish to support the
same idea; and ultimately I hope I shall be able to in-
duce the whole of England to support the continued
action of a sinking fund, for I cannot doubt that if you
once establish it you will have resolution enough to
maintain it. I support it, in the second place, be
cause it will be the bona fide action of a sink-
ing fund to reduce the interest on productive
capital, and to make capital abundant and cheap
for those who require it for the purposes of industry. In
the third place, 1 support a sinking fund, because if you
adopt it you will force on a reconstruction of the finan-
ciol resources of the country on a rational and national
principle. I am anxious to obtain your adoption of
this principle, and of the means by which it is to be
carried. In some casual observations which I made
elsewhere--which were much misrepresented—l ex-
pressed an opinion that we might obtain such
sinkieg fund through the medium of the land,
without the imposition of any new tax, but on cer-
tain conditions to which I then imperfectly referred—
conditions which involved not only that the land
should have fiscal justice, but that it should have salu-
tary and legitimate protection. Bat I shall not quarrel
about the means, so that only I can obtain the end.
The principle is the thing, not the moans by which we
are to obtain it. If eon believe that it is of vital impor-
tance that this princiPle should be asserted, and practi-
cally secured—if you believe that it will put a stop to
that tampering with the resources of the country which
has proved so fatal—if you believe that by it capital will
be rendered abundant and cheap—if you believe that its
result will be a real diminution of the burdens of the
people, then let us see whether we cannot this evening
devise some popular, practicable, and just means by
which we can obtain it.—(Cheers.) We often hear the
argument used—Yes, the principle of a sinking fund is
a good one, but how can you get it ? Now, let me tell
you this in the first place. There is no man of mark in
the House of Commons who will get up and say that
this country cannot afford a sinking fund, and a sinking
fund composed of millions. Can the Manchester school?
Are they not telling us that the expenditure of this
country is ten millions a year more than is necessary ?
Well, they are not the men who will say that we cannot
spare five millions for a sinking fund. Is it the late
Government, or the present Government, who supported
the late Government's policy, and who have since
adopted their measures ? Between the year 1842 and
1846 the Government took off seven millions and a half
of taxes, none of which were petitioned against, few were
complained of, and many were never heard of.—
(Laughter.) Two-thirds of that revenue would give a
sinking fund of five millions. My opinion is this—the
case is urgent—Parliament ought scarcely to be a week
assembled without all England praying for the institu-
tion of a sinking fund; and my opinion is, that the best
and most practical—many as are the suggestions that
have been made to me, many as are the means which
have occurred to myself—my opinion is, that the best
and most practical way of obtaining it is to do that di-
rectly which the process I formerly indicated would have
done indirectly, namely, to lay on ad valorem duty on all
articles of foreign import whatever.—(Loud cheers.)
That is the weapon, the charmed weapon, with which we
shall win the battle. Put that weapon into the hand of
any knight you may elect to win your battle, and I stake
my political reputation upon it he cannot fail:Look at the
ease which will redound to the country generally by this
arrangement. What will be the result? There must,
if there be a bona fide sinking fund—there must result
a gradual but certain, and every year a diminishing,
amount of burdens on the country. It will not be
the commercial section of the community, or even, per-
haps, some one commercial house, that will gain the ad-
vantage of this measure; but every class in the com-
munity will, by the action of the sinking fund, obtain
relief. The next effect it will have is on the price of
capital—the interest of money—a subject of great
importance to the industrial classes. Now these advan-
tages you will obtain : you will have capital abundant—
you
will have every class feeling their' burdens dimi-
nished. How are you to do it ? Why, by making the
foreigner pay a toll on his commodities.— (Cheers.)
I have told you the first measure which I thought
necessary, though its effecta however certain, will not
suffice as a complete remedy for all the evils which you
have encountered. I said it was based on justice. No
doubt the equalisation of the burdens on real property is
founded on justice. But the principle of the second
measure which I have menticued is not only just, it is
also honest. You see with what great measures sod
great principles the great landed interest of the coon-
try, in all its ramifications, tends to associate, itself. First
of all, you ask fur equal taxation; and no one with a feel-
ing of justice can deny your right to it. And the interests
of this great party—for it is a great party, notwithstand-
ing all that has occurred, and while this country lasts it
will ever remain a great party—are thus associated with
justice. Sc, with regard to the maintenance of public
credit. You do not ask for peculiar advantages, you do
nut demand exceptional legisle lion. There is no class
legislation in a nation paying its debts. There is no
peculiar privilege in paying taxes for other people.—
(Great laughter and cheering.) Now, am I right in
supposing that the yeomen of Essex will adopt these
principles?—(Loud cries of " Yes, yes.") Bat am I
right in supposing that the yeonien of Essex mean to act
upon them?—(Tremendous cries of " Yes, yes," and
laughter.) Because we live in times when cheers round
a convivial board will not save the country.—(llear.)
In old days we assembled to commemorate the victories
we had won and the foes we had bailie& But we meet
now in the hour of difficulty and danger; and we meet
to no use, unless we can devise some plan which we
shall follow up with a confirmed resolution to con-
quer.— (Loud cheers.) If you resolve to act upon
these principles, permit me to tell you, not as a model,
for you do not require such an incentive, but rather as
an instructive hint, what we have done in the county in
which I live. Impressed with the two great principles—
first, that taxation should be equalised, and, secondly,
that public credi should be maintained—(Loud cheers)
—we have formed a society for the relief of real property,
feeling convinced that real property never will be re-
lieved except on the policy of these two principles which
I have laid down. I ask you to do the same. From
your society petition the House of Commons for equal
taxation, to which you are entitled—a justice which no
one denies; call upon Parliament to cease tampering
with the fiscal fortunes of England which has been too
long indulged in—make up your mind to pay your debts
—establish the same rule of morality for a nation which
exists for individuals—(Cheers)—and the certain and
inevitable consequence will be, that you will not only
introduce a principle of fiscal morality, which has
been too long absent from the counsels of the Legis-
lature, you will not only make capital abundant to
those classes who require it, and who have a right to ask
for it—and to no other classes do I refer—but you will
do more than this, you will place your ancient and noble
industry in a just and legitimate position. I have been
told that the agricultural interest don't know what they
want—that they have no motto upon their banners.
Write upon your banners " Justice and Honesty"—and
depend upon it the nation will sympathise with you. It
will rally round such profession,, backed by such prac-
tice as you counsel and recommend. I feel persuaded
that if the county of Essex shall act with spirit, and
drive heme these two points—if they demand from the
Legislature equal taxation, which now, so far as reason
and argument are concerned, is a settled question—if
they will counsel in an admonitory voice imperial morality,
that the first and greatest principle of finance is the di-
minution of the national burdens, and that the only legi-
timate mode of doing this is by diminishing the public debt,
and that the essiest, the most obsious, the justest course
to do that would be that the untaxed foreigner should
coatribute his quota—(Cheers)—l am convinced that
that is a policy which must govern the country, if in-
deed the country he worth redemption.—(Loud cheers.)
I have known in the course of my life—all of us have—
thet truth does not always prevail, because truth is not
always supported by power. I have known also, occa-
sions on which authority has been baffled, because
authority is not always established on truth. But a
union between truth and power ! Who can doubt the
result of such a combination?—(Cheers.) They figure
not as moral quantities, but as mathematical demon-

on the stage in propria persona as the hero of a
burlesque. Neither the Provisional Government nor
General CAVAIGNAC thought it worth their while to
notice these attacks, indeed the General himself fre-
quently attended the theatres, and laughed as hear-
tily as the rest at the witty malice of the
rogues. While the attacks of these gentry
w ere exclusively directed :against the Republicans,
they were petted, and praised, and hallooed on by
the reactionaries, who thought " liberty of the
theatres " a very fine thing indeed. At length they
were caught in a trap. A piece entitled Rome was
produced at the Porte St. Martin, in which General
OUDINOT and the POPE, and MAOZINI, and GARI-
BALDI were introduced. The piece had been
written with the intention of making it the
vehicle of a demonstration in favour of the
parti pretre. The Evenement says :—" The
Minister of Public Instruction had placed in
his hands the scenario of the piece entitled Rome ;
and after having read it he addressed to the Director
of the Porte St. Martin the most Illvely congratula-
tions—they might almost be termed thanks ;" the
boxes were well packed by priests and their agents,
and they all applauded the POPE and hooted MAR-
%IN; but the public in the pit and galleries were too
powerful for them, and the result was, that notwith-
standing the efforts of the parti-pretre and the police,
' MAzzINI and GARIBALDI were applauded to the
echo and Pio Norio and his priests soundly hissed ;
and, now these worthy gentlemen, finding that this
pretty plot has failed, call out for the suppression of
the piece and the re-establishment of the Censorship.
The piece has been suppressed, but be it ever remem-
bered that M. DE FALLOUT aided and assisted in its
production.
M. NAPOLEON BONAPARTE was examined in the
Bill Committee on the subject of his motion relative
to the amnesty to the family of the Bourbons and
the June insurgents. He entered into a lengthened
development of his proposition, of which the following
is a resume:—
" The assimilation between the exiled Bourbons and
the insurgents of June does not result from the propo-
sition, the only object of which is to repair an act of in-
justice in our code without distinction of parsons. The
necessity of proscriptive decrees no longer exists, and the
pretenders, once returned to Paris, would be no more
than simple citizens. Should the Count de Chambord
refuse to return, it would be a death-blow to his future
prospects. The Assembly by voting the proposition
would give a proof of conciliation, without creating any
danger or embarrassment to the Republic."
This argumentation was not to the liking of the
Committee, which, judging the proposition bad in its
form, declined a discussion of its bearing. The
Legitimatists, especially, strongly opposed it, declaring
that the very existence of a Republic was a proscrip-
tion against the Count DE (Republic
M. DESJA-
BERT was appointed reporter of the Commission.
M. MOLE has been appointed President and M.
BEUGNOT Secretary to the Commission appointed to

dition.
It was considered in Paris that Russia and Austria
would persist in the ultimatum which they had pre-
sented to the Porte, as it was the wish of the Abso•
i lutist Powers to provoke a war with France and
England. If such be the case we can assure
these crowned woman-floggers that England is per-
fectly ready to accommodate them, and we have no
doubt France is ready also.

BUSINESS DONE ET FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT TGE
LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE, Our. 5.
The only transaction to-clay was—Northern of France,

as in morn favoured localities; there is as deep dis-
tress among the labouring population, even the
farmers and holders of land are not in the most flou-
rishing condition. The complaints of agricultural
distress, of the gradual diminution of farming capital,
are as loud in Kent as in Hampshire. But still a
charge amounting to 400,0001. per annum is levied
upon them exclusively, while they are liable to every
other tax and impost for which the agricul-
turists of other counties are responsible,
This is neller just nor equitable, politic or
expedient. It is in direct contradiction of
the fundamental rule that every subject should con-
tribute to the national expenditure secundurn statum
et facultates. It has been truly said, " that no prin-
ciple can justify the taxation of one portion of the
community alone." How, then, can the hop duties be
defended, duties that fall upon certain portions of four
counties only, while the remainder of the United
Kingdom is free from the tax ?

The rapid abatement of the cholera is producing
very general and very natural satisfaction, but the
diminution of the disorder must not produce a cor-
responding decrease in the vigilance necessary to
trace out the causes, and in the resolution required to
prevent the recurrence of that fatal epidemic. Public
attention must not be suffered to relapse into its
former culpable quiescence. A matter that concerns
everybody is too often treated as if it concerned
nobody, and such has hitherto been the fate of the
public health. It is unnecessary again to recapitulate
the nauseous and often-enumerated catalogue of nui-
sances which, in London especially, convert the very
elements of life, the air we breathe and the water we
drink, into so many channels of poison. It is unne-
cessary to recapitulate them, but it is necessary to
allude to them again and again, as we have hitherto
done, until they shall be finally put an end to. It
must not be, in this instance, as it has been in too
many others, that the removal, and perhaps only the
temporary removal, of a dreaded danger, effectually
puts a stop to the many contemplated improvements
and precautions which the recent cause of alarm
seemed especially intended to suggest. If the pesti-
lence of 1849 be not followed by some very speedy
and very comprehensive sanitary reform, a yet heavier
calamity will in all probability be the result, and who
shall dare to say that it will not (in such a case) be
richly merited ? Who that now cavils at precaution,
and loudly declaims against the closure of burial-
grounds and similar necessary enactments, shall
venture to say that he himself may not be the first
victim of the returning pestilence ? This is the point of
view in which the question must be regarded. It is
useless to talk to interested men of the duty of caring
for their fellow- creatures ; their charity begins at home
and this is assuredly a most legitimate opportunity
for the exercise of that charity. All are equally con-
cerned, for this is to every man a matter of personal
concern. Had the matter been looked on in this light,
how uncalled for would have been our reiterated
strictures upon the poisoned atmosphere of London !
Long ago every burial•ground would have been shut
up, pure water, clean domiciles, and well-drained
streets would have been as numerous as are now the
wretched receptacles of filth in which the poor of
London live and die, less cared for than the beasts of
burthen. Complaints have recently been reiterated
respecting the unhealthy state of the metropolis, but
those complaints have produced no consequences. It
was vox et preterea nilal. Must it continue so? Have
our graves been heaped with cholera victims in vain ?
Will the voices of alternate lamentation and alarm,
which have for the last few months re-echoed through-
out the length and breadth of the land, subside into
apathetic satisfaction ? Never was apathy more out
of place. A vigorous, an immediate, and a
persevering course of energetic action is re-
quired to remove the Augean impurities of
the magnificent metropolis of the commerce of the
nineteenth century. Such a course will never be
even entered on, and most certainly it will never be
satisfactorily carried out, unless public attention re-
main keenly alive to the dangers by which we are
encompassed, and unless public opinion stimulate and
encourage the indifferent energies of those to whom
it
the guardianship of the public health is consigned.
There is a fair opportunity to test that force of
public opinion on which we, as a nation, so much
pride ourselves. Never was there a cause which had
so much claim on the unanimity of every individual
of the great community, fir every individual is here
personally interested. As, thanks to PROVIDENCE,
the violence of the pestilence abates, let our anti-
pestilence precautions not abate, but rather let us at
once co-operate in bringing about that better state of
things which shall not only ward off any fresh at-
tacks of the same enemy, but which shall render the
recent calamity a source of future blessing.

SPAIN.
Madrid journals of the 30th ult. have arrived.
General NARVAIZ has returned to Madrid, and it
was said a Cabinet Council would be held, at which
the question of the tariff would be considere d.
The Bolsa was closed on the 30th.

support of two amendments proposed by him, the
House adopted, without coming to a division, the first
and second passages of the first paragraph proposed
by the Committee, that " Freedom of religious
profession, the association of religious societies, and
the exercise in common of domestic or public re-
ligious practices is recognised : the enjoyment of
the rights of citizenship, or of national citizenship,
is independent of religious profession." The House
then went to a division upon the last words of the
same paragraph, " and in the participation in any
religious society whatever," which was rejected by
104 to 9. Professor WALTER and eight other
Catholics voted in favour of the words being retained,
as the rejection tends to open the door to the exclu-
sion
,of the Jesuits and of other religious societies.
Then came on a short debate on the last passages of
the first and the whole of the last paragraph, " the
duties incumbent upon citizens and national citizens
cannot be evaded by the exercise of religious
freedom : religious societies and spiritual societies
which do not enjoy corporate rights, can only obtain
their rights through special laws." Professor WAL-
TER terminated the debate somewhat in these words :
"It is unwise thus to put an end to religious
and spiritual associations. The Trappists in Bel-
gium and England cultivate the land. As regards the
Jesuits, they have been driven from Italy. Yet
FREDERICK the GREAT, who cannot be accused of
excess of devotion, favoured them as best suited to
educate youth." Notwithstanding the defence of M,
WALTER, the House voted without coming to a divi-
sion. The last passage thus renders it necessary for
the Society of Jesus and other monastic orders to ob-
tain legal authority from the Chambers ere they can
establish themselves or exercise corporate or collective
rights.
The Cologne Gazette says that at a Cabinet Coun-
cil, held on the Ist October, it was decided that
Prussia should persist in the convocation of the Diet
of the empire, and in case of need invoke the arbitral
decision of the Federal Tribunal against Hanover.
It appears that the constitutional party at Dresden
is quite appalled at the intention of the Saxon Govern-
ment to withdraw from the alliance of the three
kingdoms. The chief hope of this party is fixed upon
Prussia, whose steady perseverance in the line of
policy which she has adoiqted, will finally compel the
other German Governments to adhere to the basis of
German unity.

The foreign exchanges were quoted yesterday after
noon at higher rates for 90 days' bills on most of the
principal cities of the Continent. Antwerp was 25.85 to
87i, Paris 25.72 i to 77k, Frankfort 1221, and Trieste
10.45 to 50. Amsterdam was a shade lower, being
12.41 to 4i.
It is stated in the accounts recently come to hand,
that a firm at New York had received, by steamer, " a
package of tea which came to San Francisco in the
Rhone, from China, thence to Panama in the California,
thence over the Isthmus, and thence by the Empire City
to this port. This is the first package received from the
Celestial Empire by the new and important route. In a
very short time our whole commercial communication
with the Pacific will be over the Isthmus. Our shipping
in the Pacific will then remain there."
The exports of the precious metals from London
amounted during the week, to Thursday last, to about
340,000 ounces of silver, all to Belgium and France, and
237 ounces of gold to the Mauritius.
The monthly Board of Trade return to September has
given great satisfaction. The increase of 1,815,9951. in
the exports, to the sth of that month, compared with
the like date of 1848, is satisfactory proof of the vitality
of the country under the free-trade system.
The accounts per Washington, from America, are but
a few hours later.
Further accounts have been received from Australia,
but they are of much the same date, viz., to the begin-
ning of June. At Adelaide, South Australia Burra
Burra Shares were quoted 162.
The report of the Amsterdam Bourse for Thursday
states that business bad been dull. The Two-and-a-
Half per Cents, were quoted 534. Russian and Austrian
maintained their value. At Frankfort, on the 3d inst.,
Austrian Bonds realised 911. The Bank of France re-
turn for the week seems to indicate more employment
for money.
The English Stock Market has been rather lively as
regards money dealings and the purchases made; Con-
sols fil m at 92i 16., when business comratncL d, though
the present values are only 92ii 1, the Russian question
still occasioning a somewhat uneasy feeling. The
failure of the potatoes in Ireland, and the unsettled
state of Canada, have bad some effect also with the
speculators, but they operate guardedly. Exchequer-
bills have been quoted 393. to 425., and India Bonds
803. to 81s. premium.
Very little is doing in Foreign Stocks. Spanish Five
per Cents. are 16i 1,-; and the Three per Cents. 331 to
34. Brazilian New Bonds have been at 85; Mexican
are nominally 2611 to 27; Dutch Two-and-Half per
Cents. are 53 to 54.
In Railway Shares there has been some improvement,
although the transactions have been exceedingly re-
stricted. North-Western have been about 11. better.
Great Western have risen about 103., and Midland 103.
,o 11., with some others in a corresponding ratio; but
he market would evidently not bear large sales.

PRIVY COUNCIL AT OSBORNE HOUSE.—(THIS DAY.)
—This morning, at a quarter to nine o'clock, the Earl
of Carlisle, Earl Grey, Lord Campbell, Sir George
Grey, and Sir Francis Baring, left the Waterloo-
bridge terminus by special train for Gosport, en route
for her Majesty's marine palace Osborne, where the
Queen was to hold a Privy Council at one o'clock,
for the purpose, it is understood, of further pro-
roguing Parliament, which stands prorogued until
Tuesday. The Ministers and Clerk of the Council
in waiting, Mr. Greville, after partaking:of a dejeuner
I at Osborne, will re-embark in the Fairy, and return
to town this evening. The Earl of Carlisle drove to
the station in a hack cab, the driver of which disco-
vered, as soon as his Lordship had discharged him,
that he had given him only a fourpenny bit instead of
sixpence. A porter told cabby to follow the Earl, as
the train had not started. The cabman accordingly
bolted after his Lordship in time to have the mistake
rectified. One of the Ministers coachmen refused to
drive out at the usual gate, saying he should go out
the way he came, and it was only on one of the porters
proceeding to stop the horses' heads that the man
drove out the usual way.

PRIVATE TREATRICALS AT WINDSOR CA'STLE.—
His Royal Highness Prince Albert honoured Mr.
Charles Kean with an interview, at Osborne, on
Thursday relative to the private theatricals to talce
place at Windsor Castle next Christmas, by command
of her Majesty.
