JESTY.

The humble menvirial pf the undersigned persons,
who are mernbor.i " Metropolitan Anti-Corn.
Association," -

Humbly showeth—•That your Majesty's people are suf-
fering from a long and protracted state- of commercial
and financial embarrassment, unprecedented in extent
and duration. That consequent thereon the great masses
of your Majesty's most industrious people are exposed
to distress and suffering front a want of employment,
aggravated by dearth and high prices of food, in a man-
ner unknown in modern times ; and, which your Ma-
jesty's memorialists deeply lament, are producing a
frightful increase of disaffection, crime, pauperism, dis-
ease, and untimely death, amongst this important por-
tion of your Majesty's people.
That it has long been the opinion of a large and en-
lightened portion of your Majesty's subjects that the em-
barrassment and distiess are to be attributed to the ef-
fect of these laws, which restrict the supply of food,
which prohibit a free exchange of the industry of the
people of this country with that of others, and which
impose indirect taxes, pressing severely on the commu-
nity, for the purpose- of protecting particular interests
without reference to the public revenue.
That it was in vain that your Majesty's. people ap-
proached the late House of Commons by petitions signed
by upwards of a million and a half of your Majesty's
people, a number unprecedented on any other occasion,
earnestly praying for an inquiry into the effects and ope-
ration of these laws with a view to their alteration or
repeal. _ _ _

That your Majesty's people hare been severely disap-
pointed at the determined refusal of the late House of
Commons to attend to the prayer of these petitions ; but
they have derived great consolation from the marked
anxiety of your Majesty for their interests at the open-
ing of the present Parliament when your Majesty was
graciously pleased to el:aim it attention to " the laws
which regulate the trade in Corn," " to determine whe-
ther these laws do not aggravate the natural fluctuations
of supply ; whether they do nut embarass trade, derange
the currency, diminish the comforts, and increase the
privation of the great body of the community."
That in rt ply to this gracious mediation of your Ma-
jesty in behalf of suffering- industry, your Majesty's me-
morialists feel some satisfaction that the Parliament has
at length acknowledged " that they are deeply sensible
of the importance of those considerations to which your
Majesty has been graciously pleased to direct their at-
tention, in reference to thecommerce and revenue of the
country and to the laws which regulate the trade in
corn."

That all parties have, therefore, at length acknow-
ledged the importance of considering these laws, and
their effects upon the great interests of the community.
. That the intense sufferings of the people will be
greatly aggravated by a continued uncertainty of the
settlement of these great questions, and by the natural
inclemency of the approaching season ; that it is, there-
fore, of the utmost consequence that your Majesty'sf
gracious recommendation to Parliament should receive
its serious attention without any delay, not only in order
the sooner to apply legislative measures to alleviate the
„distress, but that your Majesty's suffering people may
derive consolation and hope amidst their severe depri-
vations, from the knowledge that their wants arc en-
gaging the serious attention of the Legislature, for the
purpose of their alleviation.
Your Majesty's memorialists therefore most earnestly
and respectfully pray that your Majesty will take mea-
sures to continue the deliberations of Parliament without
intermission, until these laws shall be so settled as to se-
cure to your people the most plentiful supply of food at
the cheapest rate, and thus to conduce to the general
interest of the whole community. •
In conclusion, your Majesty's memorialists beg re-
spectfully to assure your Majesty of the steilfast
loyalty, and affection which your Majesty has secured by
thus evincing to your people that your Majesty is ever
mindful of their true interests, and ready to extend your
most gracious sympathy to the unfortunate and sufferiug
portion of your people. And your Majesty's memo-
rialists most solemnly pray, that the great Iluler of the
universe will long protect your Majesty in health and
prosperity, that your Majesty may continue your most
gracious benefits to your loyal subjects.
Dr. BOWRING moved the Ist resolution. He felt he
could do so without impropriety, as he had been sent to
Parliament in order to spew that a reaction had taken
place in the public mind on the subject of a repeal of the
Corn-laws. In the district with which he had the honor
to be connected he believed there was more distress
than in almost any other part of the country, and he had
made some statements in Parliament connected there-
with, which he believed had had an effect even upon the
Conservatives. Sir Robert Peel had declared that, if it
were really true that men had actually died at their
looms, some inquiry should take place, and a Committee
had been appointed to 'inquire into the facts he (Dr.
Bowring) had laid before the House and the public.
They were, however, aware that that inquiry would
lead to no important result, and no interference of
the Poor-law Commissioners, who had been appointed to
conduct the inquiry, would provide a remedy for these
distresses, unless the Corn-laws were repealed, and their
commercial code thoroughly revised.—(Hear, hear.) It
was lamentable to think that the various statistical
facts that had been laid before the public by po!itical
economists, artisans, sufferers, and those who sympa-
thised with the sufferers, had produced so liale effect;
but at last the eloquence of intolerable distress was
coming into the field, and lie could not but believe that
it would at length make itself heard. In the district with
which he was connected the distress was daily increasing,
When he was there, a great many were employed only
four days in the week ; and he had since heard that they
had been reduced to two days, while multitudes were al-
together unemployed. If any one looked at the situation
of the country—its rapid advance in moral and intellec-
tual greatness—its enormous increase of capital—its
wondrous expanse of mind—its increased means of com-
munication—while there existed so great a mass of suf-
fering and distress in the country that the public peace
was menaced—for he was persuaded that unless some
alleviation was found for that mass of misery no one
could answer for the continuance of the public tranquil-
lity—if any one looked at all these things, they must be
surprised and dismayed at the apathy exhibited by the
Government. He could not contemplate the future with-
out anxiety and alarm. The object of the preSent meet-
ing was to call on Parliament, when means were found
for relieving the.sufferings of the community, not to sepa-
rate Without inquiry into them. The resolution which
he held in his hand embodied these sentiments.—[Dr.
Bowring here read the resolution.]—lt was clear that
they must augment the public 'happiness, or the public
misery would augment itself. The people would be flung
back m hopelessness and despondency, and the conse-
quences could not be anticipated without: the greatest
alarm.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. CLARKE had much pleasure in seconding the
resolution. The people of the district with which he
was connected had been taught that the Corn-laws were
based on the grossest injustice and inhumanity, and
they were indebted for their information on the subject
to the Anti-Corn-law Association.—(Loud cheers.)
The resolution was then put and carried unanimouslyo
Mr. PETER TAYLOR moved the second resolution:
He would ask the meeting what was their present posi-
tion ? They had a Ministry turned out for proposing
a repeal of the Corn-laws and upholding the principles
.• of free trade, and they had a Ministry brought into
power who were determined to oppose every modifica-
tion of the Corn-laws, and every approach to free trade.
He believed, whatever might be said of Ministers having
lost the confidence of the country by their general
conduct, no one would deny that the real
cause of their being turned out of office was
because they had passed measures which would lead
to a repeal of the Corn-laws and an alteration in the com-
mercial tariff of the country. It was on that account that
the landed aristocracy, who governed the whole aristo-
cracy of the country, had ejected them from office, it
being well-known that they never would consent to such
have hopes that
nthleeapsur for them, but
unless that inference was to be drawn from the circum-
inviasstrsylawdotadt
ersees.nt
Alt
stance of all those opposed to the Corn-laws being in-
dtoheLnsilewthuildw;
eluded in the new Administration he knew of no ground
on which to form such an opinion, and that would be
proceeding upon the rule of contraries. For instance, they
had the Duke of Buckingham, the great champion of the
Corn-laws, the " no surrender" man ; they had Sir Ed-
ward Knatchbull, who had been termed the bigot of the
Corn-laws ; and they had as President of the Board of
' Trade, the Earl of Ripon, the father and founder of the
Corn-laws. But they need not go to these indications,
for Sir R. Peel himself had declared, that if thy Cern-
, laws were proved to be the cause of the present distress,
he would be one of the first to vote for their being done

away with. Bat he said it was all a 'mistake—all the
root of the evil was over-production, joint-stock banks,
and machinery. He (Mr. Taylor) was ready to admit
that where over-production took place trade-languished,
but the question was what was the cause of that
over-production? Did it arise from the manufac-
turers making much mere goods than were wanted,
or was it because Peel's policy obstructed the means
of dispesing of that production?—(Hear, hear.) He
b!lieveti that would be found to be the case.—(Cheers.)
They hal a large trade with America, but that we.; he-
eauee they took their cotton and tobacco in' ex thane fur
English manucactures, and if corn was added to these
their Anterieaa trade w‘Suld be greatly incr.tsed. But'
in addition to what had been stated by Sir IL Peel, they
had the declaration of the Duke of Wellington that tiler,'
was no distress at all in the country which indestry could
not, relieve, and he further congratulated them that
England was the only country he knew in which indus-
try could ensure a competence. Had his Grace heard
nothing; of the " short time" in the Lancashire mills,
and the pressure throughout the whole cotton districts,
to talk or no other branch of their'manufactures? His
Grace had declared, in 1820, that the then existing con-
stitution was the perfection of human reason, and re-
quired no change, and yet a short time afterwards the
people of that country rose up against it, and it was done
away with and completely remodelled, and such might
be the result of the Noble Duke's approval of the pre-
sent state of things. In the present desperation, excite-
ment, and despair of the people, it was necessary, at all
events, that they should know what were the:intentions of
Ministers before the winter, which was likely to be one
of intense suffering, had set in.—(Hear, hear.) Sir Ito-
bert Peel had now got his fee, end ought no longer to
withhold his advice.—(Hear, hear.) If the poor man's
labour was to be less and less in demand—if their looms
were to be idle and their mills empty—if their work-
houses and prisons were to be full---let them, at least,
know the fate-that was awaiting them from the present
Government. He hoped the proceedings of the present
day would go forth to the country, and that petitions
and addresses by thousands would pour in to the Queeu
to remove a Ministry which was called Conservative, but
which lie thought one of the most destructive the country
had ever been cursed with.—(Hear, hear.)

Mr. BEACON rose and seconded the resolution. He
said they could not possibly expect any thing from the
present Parliament, when they could get no good from
the last. And if they got a good House of Commons,
even then they would be frustrated by the House of
Lords, the men who were not compelled by law to pay
debts of money they borrowed to buy estates. He per-
fectly agreed with the object of the resolution and felt
much pleasure in seconding it.
The resolution was then put and carried unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN said that as some allusion had been
made to demonstrations being made in the country, Mr.
Peter Taylor would read a letter that had been received
that morning from the Anti-Corn-law Association in
Manchester.

Mr. I'. A. TAYLOR then read the following letter ;
National Anti-Corn-law League,
Manchester, Sept. 9, 1841,
My DEAR SIR-I have great pleasure in acknowledg-
ing the receipt of your letter, which has been duly laid
before the Council, and am instructed in return to say
that they are glad to see the view which yon have
taken upon the subject of a memorial to her Majesty.
We are proposing here to have a meeting of the Council
for tha purpose of considering the propriety of holding
a town meeting on the subject, the exact nature of
which you will gather from the accompanying copy of
our resolution. " That we would respectfully suggest to
yourself and our friends in London the propriety of
holding public meetings for that purpose. If you could
call ward meetings, or in fact any great number of people
together to memorialize her Majesty, it would have a
much greater effect than a petition from the Association
only. We had a splendid meeting in the Corn Ex-
change here last night, when Mr. Curtis lectured. The
operatives here are getting well aware of the causes of
the distress ; and I never knew it half as severe as it is
at present upon the lower and middle classes. So im-
portant do we think is the movement you propose,
that we are writing to all the Associations to get up
public meetings immediately. Do you, therefore, in
London take the lead in your meetings. Let us see reports
of them in the paper:, and I have no doubt the country
will respond to it.--I remain, my dear Sir,
Your's truly, •
Sidney Smith, Esq. GEORGE WILSON.

Mr. JAMES WILSON rose to propose the second reso-
lution. He said they had already had a picture of the
distress which at present existed in Bolton and the
neighbouring manufacturing towns. Be they could not
be surprised at that when he told them that, on that
morning, on looking at the statistical accounts of the last
six months, he found that the cotton wool which had
been worked into material for the last three months
averaged at the rate of nearly 9,000 bales less than in.
the corresponding months of last. year. And the decrease
was at that moment upwards of 11.000 bales. If they
were to consider this for a moment they could picture to
themselves the distress of the manufacturing districts.
They also found by the census of Stockport that the
population of this, one of our most thriving manufacturing
towns, had fallen off 8,000 since 1831, and he had not the
slightest doubt that had the census been taken in 1836
the population would have been found to be on the in-
crcase—(Hear, hear)—and that it was only in the last
three years that this depopulation had taken place. It
was proper that they should address the Queen on this
6ulject. She was the first Sovereign for many centuries
who had become associated in a great popular question
with the people. She was the only Sovereign that had
been found standing between the aristocracy and the
people, and defending their political rights. A friend
of his a few days ago proposed to him that they ought
to erect a statue to commemorate Queen Elizabeth.
He (Mr. Wilson) thought that her present Majesty
knew well the character of Elizabeth, for, when
a child, she was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury
what she thought of Queen Elizabeth, and her answer
was that she thought her a good Queen, but a bad
woman.—(Cheers.) He thought they could not approach
the Queen too often on the present question. Although
they had but a small meeting that day, he would state
that it had been called together at a very short notice,
added to which the room was but small. When he re-
membered that about twelve months ago the circum-
stances were so limited that Mr. Smith, their Secretary,
gave his services free, and they were compelled to dis-
charge their porters for want of money, he could not
but feel satisfaction at the change which had taken
place.—(Cheers.) He concluded by proposing the third
resolution.

Mr. Waltz seconded the resolution. He always
felt that the best way to carry a question was to agitate it.
They found that the Executive of the country had with
one voice declared that there was great distress through-
out the country, and that that would be the first ques-
tion to take into their consideration. They were parries
Who would make promises without any intention of
performing them. The only means was to nail them to
the question. They had made concessions, but they
would wriggle out of them like eels.—(Laughter.) The
only way to do so was that which was then proposed to
them. lie thought that during the last few years a
feeling was arising in their favour, and that feeling was
still advancing. He thought they were in a position
to ask what the Parliament dared not refuse. He felt,
and his experience in the provinces was considerable,
That a great demonstration should take place in London,
in order that a banner might be raised under which they
could stand and serve. He called upon them not only
to give their signatures to that petition, but to dissemi-
nate its principles to all they_knew, and bid them go
and do likewise. There was a feeling in the country
which the iron Duke would be aslittle able to wjthstand as
that at the time of the Reform Bill. Mr. Canning, who
wouid not a allow a single borough to be reformed, was
now in his grave. The tide of Reform had rolled over
that grave, and swept the boroughs with it. And so it
would be with that iron Duke.—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN was about to put the resolution to
the meeting, when

Mr. WALKER, the Secretary to the Westminster
Anti-Corn•law Association, rose and said—lt had been
svggested that the means hitherto adopted with regard
to this question were not sufficient. He thought it
would be better if there was to be a day set apart for a
demonstration, and that a deputation should be formed
of parties who were favourable to the repeal of the Corn-
laws, and for them to adopt a plan by which their feel-
ings in the cause might be more powerfully adopted. It
was not in the spirit of opposition, but with a convic-
tion that the means were inadequate to the purposes for
which they had met.

Mr. HART said that he had been trying that morning
to get up a Town-hall meeting in the borough of South-
wark. In his solicitation for a requisition he had had
but two refusals, and those wer3 by persons not, in oppo-
sition to the cause, but who objected to have their names
in print. One gentleman on whom he had called, said that he
had never taken part in politics, nor would he then, but
that he had been so much disgusted by the late election
that he was determined to join in any Anti-Corn-law
Association that might be formed. He (Mr. llart) re-
plied that lie was Secretary to the Southwark branch,
and he gave his name at once, with his contribution.
These were the results of his morning's work, and he
thought there was no room for despair. Their motto
should be, " Up, forward, nil desperandum."
Mr. S. SMITH then rose and announced that the me-
morial would lay at the office of the Anti-Corn-law As-
sociation, in the Strand, to receive signatures. He also
suggested that the memorials which might be got up by
local offices should.be sent to this office for presentation ;
for if they were sent direct to the Home-often they
would lie there, and the Queen wonkl know nothing
about them. That Association would take care that
they should be put into the hands of Privy Councillors
who would seek an audience of her Majesty to pre-
sent them.
Dr. BEDFORD then briefly moved that the memopial be
recommended for adoption to the district pAppolio,
r. PROM` proposed a yotp a thanks to the Chair-
man, which being 4eoonded,
The CHAIRMAN rose to return thanks. He begged
to say that he should ever go on as he had done in this
Association, and with the gentlemen who were about
him, and who were such able colleagues, If they re-
ceived support personally and in money from all their
friends, they would soon be able to carry the great mea-
sure. The meeting then separated.

TALACRE COAL AND IRON COM-

PA N Y.

An extraordinary meeting was held yesterday of the
Shareholders in the above Company, at the office, 30,
John-street, Adelphi, for the purpose of taking into
consideration the general affairs of the Company—to
provide a means to pay off its liabilities—to adopt such
proceedings at law or in equity as might appear desir-
able, and also to determine upon the steps to be taken for
winding up the affairs of the Company.
Mr. Ceapilon was proposed, and took the Chair.
There was but a thin attendance,of proprietors, but se-
veral of them ctune. attended by solicitors.
The CHAIRMAN, on taking the chair, made a few ob-
servations, mid was proceeding to read the requisition,
calling the meeting together, when he was interrupted
by Mr. Wire, who. appeared for Mr. Weston, one of the
thareliolders, requesting to know how many Directors
there were at present in the Company, and also requesting
that the names be read over. The Chairman then read
the names
,of the Directors at present acting,
and it appeared that there were only about four or five.
A long and desultory discussion then arose as to the lega-
lity of the meeting, the deed of settlement stating that
no meeting could be convened or held unless there were
tea Directers in attendance, and it appeared that there
were only three Directors to the Company actually in
existence. At length, after considerable discussion and
much warmth on both sides, the Chairman rose and put
the question to the meeting, that the Report of the Com-
pany (which had been drawn up by the Company's Soli-
citor) should be read and adopted. • This gave rise to
renewed discussion, and a. great deal of angry parleying
'was kept up by the Solicitors to the different Share-
holders and the Solicitor to the Company (Mr. Ashurst).
The alleged ground of opposition to the reception of the
Report was teat it was a one-sided or ex parte statement,
and imputed fraud to many parties connected with the
Company. But it appeared that the opposition was prin-
cipally to the Report having been drawn up by
the three Directors themselves, without the knowledge
of the Shareholders, and part of it being founded on
documentary evidence, which the shareholders knew no-
thing about. From the proceedings that occurred yes-
terday, there appeared to be two distinct interests in the
Company, that of the Shareholders in the concern, and
the Directors. Mr. Weston, one of the Shareholders,
said that he believed that it was the object of the
Directors to at once dissolve the concern, and there
were parties who were waiting ready for its disso-
lution, to come and purchase the estate ; for a letter
had been put into his hand that morning by a person who
expected that the plans of the Company would be ren-
dered nugatory, and who was ready to purchase the
estate, and who hoped by the present proceedings of the
Directors, to get it at a reduced price. Mr. Weston
stated that if the present report were read, it would be
the means, not of aiding the Company in its present
difficulties, but of adding 20,0001. more to the already
accumulated losses. Whereas, if a proper report were
made out, by and with the sanction and inspection of
tile whole of the Shareholders, parties might be found
who would purchase the estate at a price which would
clear their losses. He himself knew parties who were
ready to purchase the estate on the terms he had men-
tioned. He characterised the report submitted to the
meeting as one of gross injustice to the Shareholders,
and more especially to himself, who, he was aware,
would be characterised in it as having acted the part of
a swindler towards the Company. He himself did not
wish to suppress facts, but as an honourable man, and a
man of business, he wished the facts to go forth to the
world, but, in justice, lee wished first to know what those
facts were, and how far they could be substantiated.
After a very angry discussion, in which there was con-
siderable bandying of personalities and wholesale abuse,
the Chairman submitted the amounts of the shares,
and other property held by the Directors, contrasting
it with that of the Shareholders, by which it appeared •
that the Directors had 15,0001. invested in the concern,
while the Shareholders only possessed about 1,7001. This
was replied to by Mr. Weston, who said he was in a
position to show, within an hour, that the state-
ment of the Chairman was most incorrect, and if it
Ives so, what an evil it would be to have a
Report read, going forth, as it would, to the pub-
lic, which had been framed under such circumstances.
This, he said, was one convincing proof why the Report
should not be read. The conversation again wandered
into personalities, many parties frequently speaking at
the same time, and all abusing each other, when Mr.
Rawson, a shareholder, rose and said he thought they
were wasting a great deal of time in useless personali-
ties. He never condemned a man until he proved that
he was guilty ; therefore, although he could not consent
to the Report being read, he thought the best plan would
be to have a few gentlemen appointed for the purpose of
inspecting the Report, and then to report to the Share-
holders upon it at a future meeting. The Chairman rose
to put this to the meeting, and did so, but no notice
whatever was taken of it, as several gentlemen rose to
speak at once, and there was great confusion. After
several of the Shareholders had spent themselves out,
and almost talked themselves hoarse, a Shareholder,
whose name did not transpire, discovered that they were
doing no business, and thought that, as there was so much
objection to reading the Report, the best course to pursue
would be to adjourn the meeting, and either inspect the
Report submitted or prepare another. This seemed to meet
the views of all parties, and Mr. Rawson was called upon
to make a motion to that effect. A discussion then arose
as to whether any of the Directors should be upon the
Committee, to be appointed to inspect the Report ; but
this difficulty having been got over, and Mr. Ashurst
having pledged himself to supply any documents that
might be required in the examination of the Report, Mr.
Rawson proposed the following atnendmentto the motion
that the Report be read and received :—" That the
Meeting be adjourned until the 29th Sept. inst., and
that a Committee be appointed to consider the Report,
and any other circumstances connected with the Com-
pany." This amendment having been carried, the
meeting was dissolved at about half-past three,

SPORTING IN TELLIGENCI;I,
DONCASTER RACES—TuEsP Ay.
Year after year it has been our .
" doings" of the St. Leger Day. - ~sk to record the
and on nearly every casion have been enabled fr., dilate on the many exciting occurrences by which.,one exception—the
withDerby—
it has been so eminently distinguished above all other
fete days. For the last three or four seasons, however,
truth has obliged us to admit a progressive decline, and
we are now reduced to the necessity of either blinking
the question, or of stating in plain terms that the St.
Leger of 1841 has in every imaginable feature fallen
below the worst of its predecessors. It is needless
to enter again into causes, but the fact
is obvious ; and it is established, not less by
the apathy observable at the betting-rooms on Monday
night, than by the appearance of the town this morning,
which lacked most of the attributes of bygone St. Leger
days. Some degree of bustle was created by the arrival
of the coaches and boats from the stations at Masbo-
rough and Swinton, freighted with live cargoes from
York, Manchester, and the Metropolis, and by the as-
semblage of some hundreds of the country people; but the
display of private equipages was unprecedentedly small,
and the unusual number of " lodgings to let" (alone) in all
the principal avenues, gave melancholy evidence of the
absence of those influential characters who, in the olden
time, philosophically submitted t 9 high charges,
on the principle, perhaps, that a good article is always
worth' a good price. Aluch . anxiety was felt for the
arrival of Coronation from Mr. Fullerton's (not Lord
Scarborough's, as stated on Monday), which was ex-
' pected about nine o'clock. Crowds were on the look out
for the van, which entered the town shortly after that
time, and proceeded direct to a paddock near the New
Church, instead of the Course, as some had anticipated.
his appearance and manner on entering the paddock
were watched with eager curiosity, and various were the
opinions expressed on the subject ; the majority were sa-
tisfied that he looked quite " fit," but a select few fan-
cied that he was rather " fleshy," and augured unfa-
vorably from an occasional pull at the bridle, and a few
kicks from the lad who was on his back. "He goes
sluggish and unlike himself," was the verdict of his
party. As the betting is the surest criterion in matters
of this kind, we entered the subscription-room with the
idea of getting an answer to the grave question—" Whe-
ther Coronation was Coronation ?" Here, however,
business was for a long time at a stand-still, with nothing
to dissipate ennui ,but a ridiculous hoax attempted on
the Clerk of the Course, in the shape of a letter from a
Mr. Davis, of Piccadilly, to Mr. Lockwood, the judge, in
which the writer stated, that having made a bet against
more than two horses being placed, he should feel
obliged if Mr. L. would limit that part of his duty
accordingly, holding out the magnificent temptation
of Si.! The writer added some little matters connected
with the settling on the Derby, which at once proved
the letter to be a forgery. This precious epistle was
stuck up as a caution, and actually imposed upon two
or three north-country flats of more thee. ordinary ob-
tuseness. At the close of the room, previous to the
races, the prices were--9 to 1 on. Coronation, sto 1 agr-,t
