doctrines so conformable to reason, would have
produced a less effect on the minds of the Irish
than has since been done by the preaching of the
wildest and most ignorant sectaries.
" But for the neglect or the oversight, if such

swerable ; he was one of many, and in rank not

a constitution broken with study and adversity,

severe domestic affliction."—(Dr. ca's Life of

WESTMINSTER SESSIONS.

This morning the General Quarter Sessions
commenced at the Guildhall, IV.stmiuster, be-
fore FRANCIS CONS; Es.q., Chairinan, and a
Bench of Magistrates. The Calendar is by no
means heavy, nor are
.the offences of a serious
nature.—As soon as the Grand and Petit Juries
were sworn the Court proceeded on the traver e
paper.

litsoanEßLY Houss.---Elixabeth Dale, rt. re-
silectably dressed female, was indicted for keep-
ing a disorderly house ii, .Woodstock-street,
Bond-street. The indictment was instituted by-
the Parish Officers of St. George's, Hanover-
square, on a complaint preferred by the inhabit-
ants residing in the same street, stating it was
impossible to live in their houses if the muisance
was not abated.—A number of witnesses, trades-
men, proved the continual scenes that nightly oc-
curred at the brothel, and had witnessed no less
than 20 couple, men and women, go there in an
hour : it had more the appearance of an entranc.!
to a Theatre or show-house., The defendant ad-
mitted she was landlady of the dwelling.—Mr.
A r.Lty addressed the Jury for the defendant,
who, without hesitation, found her Guilty.

AQUATIC UNDERTAKING.

Two young Gentlemen, named Moxsy and Edwards, have
undertaken, for a wager of 50 sovereigns to 100, to row in
wherry from Westminster-bridge to Gravesend and back, and
thence to Richmond, and return to the place of starting, in 18
successive hours—the distance is computed upwards of 100
miles. The day for deciding this great performance is fixed
for Saturday next, to start at three o'clock in the morning.

DEATh OF A WITCU.-411 the department of
the Drome a woman was lately killed, under the
extraordinary impression that she was a witch.—
This woman was paid by the peasants of her
neighbourhood for telling them good fortune, or
for abstaining from tieing them harm. She lately
went to the farm of a peasant, and asked a reward
for conjuring the danger which threatened his
cattle. He refused her request, and treated her
pretensions with insult. Soon after he lost some
of his cattle, and his wife and children fell
ill. He immediately ascribed these calamities to
the supernatural influence of the hag; but, so far
from being terrified at her power, he took his
gun, repaired to her house, and deliberately shot
her dead. The misguided man is to be tried at
the approaching assizes for the department of the
Drome. He acknowledges the act of which he
was guilty, but declares that he shot the devil
under the form of the wicked hag.

On Tuesday afternoon, a very serious accident
happened to the Lady of Colonel PALMER, of
Park-place, Regent's-park. The lady was pro-
ceeding down the upper part of the New-road,
in her dennett, when the horse becoming un-
manageable, she was thrown out with great
violence. Several persons instantly ran to her
assistance, and on raising her from the ground, it
was feared that she was seriously injured : both.
legs were dreadfully bruised, and it is thought
that the small bones of the left leg are broken...—.
Prompt surgical aid was procured, and she was
taken home. The dennett was ilf arly smashed
to atoms. The groom escaped with only a few
bruises.

We are happy to learn, upon good authority,that there is no truth in the report in circulation,
that the Reverend JOHN M ACDONALD, of Urqu-
hart, Ross-shire, was drowned 'on his way home
from the island of St. Kilda.—(Aberdeen
Journal.)

SPARRING.

The Fives Court exhibition for the benefit of Barney Aaron
and Israel Belasco was not very well attended. The sets-to
wore few, but good, as follow :
Langan and Ab. Belasco.—This was the most interesting
set-to of the day. The fine science of Belasco met Langan 's
rush in a manner not expected with gloves. Aby stood first of
the two. Langan was hit most, and his opponent broke away
most dexterously from body hits.
Inglis and Deaf Davis made a very gallant set-to. It was
all rally and hitting, with equal advantage, and when the
gloves were pulled off there was no best about it.
Bitton and Oliver made a very good turn loose.
Barney Aaron and Israel Belasco finished by some scientific
movements, after which Barney offered to give Matthewson 101..
to contend with him on a stage for 2001.

MATCH TO GO ON FOOT 280 MILES IN 95 HOURS.

A Pedestrian from Cumberland, of the name of Sneath,

The match was for 200 sovereigns, to start from the Haymarket,
and to travel into seven counties, so as not to pick the roads.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, JULY 7.
The LORD CHANCELLOR has issued an order, requiring
the solicitors to notify to the Registrar the numerical order in
which causes are entered for hearing, by which the Court will
invariably abide ; so that upon the non-appearance' of the
parties or their agents at the tune of callicg the causes, such
causes will be immediately placed at the end of the list.

110BROUSE v. GRAIIAX.
In this case, which referred to the validity of the' Sheriff's
return upon a writ of scire facias, tune had been given to the
defendant to look for cases in whit!' writs had been quashed
for want of actual personal service of the writ. -
The LORD CDANCELLOR said, that as tui case'-had been
adduced, and a_s an officer of the Petty Bag-office had before
informed the Court that the return was 064, according to the
practice of the last century, and as the defendant, by entering
an appearance, would have cured the defect of personal service,
if any such defect had existed, and might now show hid merits,
if he had any, the motion for quashing the writ, on the ground
of insufficient service and erroneous return of the writ, must be
discharged with costs.

LORD nvnom.
Mr. HEALD said that he had an application of a pressing
nature to make, being for an injunction to restrain parties from
proceeding to publish the private letters of the late Lord
Llyrunrwhieli letters, written chiefly to his mother and his only
daughter, had been placed in the hands of a gentleman who
had disposed of them to a publisher, and they were, as he (Mr.
Heald) understood, advertised for publication.
The Lord ertasccumit said that there could not be a
doubt upon the right. It had been ruled over and over again,
that a person holding private letters had none but a very qua-
lified property in them. The application, however, tbr the
sake of regularity in the proceedings of the jurisdiction, should
be made before the Vice-Chancellor.

CAMBRIDGE COMMENCEMENT.

On Tuesday morning the Senate-House was
occupied at an early hour by an elegant crowd desirous to
hear the Prize Poems recited by Mr. KENNEDY and by
Mr. PRAED, the two successful Candidates : The former
Gentleman has a powerful voice and an energy of manner
remarkably adapted for such an occasion. His Greek Ode
is generally allowed not only to be highly honourable to
the Classical attainments of so young a man, but to re-
flect credit on the University. Mr. Praed has not the same
physical advantages for public reading, but he delivered the
more poetical passages with great feeling. His poem displays
a high degree of merit, and abounds in beautiful anti ex-
alted sentiment. In the evening the Commencement Ball took
place in the Town Hall, and was thronged to excess. Day-
light had entirely resumed its reign before the party sepa-
rated. The Grand Musical Festival has left an impression
that will not easily be effaced. It is agreed on all hands that
the general eflbct of the performances is without precedent, even
in this place, where music is not less loved than understood.
The amount of money received and paid into the Bank is 2,560/.
one-fifth of which goes to the support of Addenbroolce's Hos-
pital—The building of Corpus is going on with great rapidity,
and the scaffolding will soon be cleared from the front. The
chaste beauty of its architecture is the subject of universal
admiration, and must throw lasting honour upon the name of
Mr. Wilkins. Other improvements arc begun and planned
for this part of the town, such as will enable it to compete with
the finest architectural views in the country. The Trumpet-
ing-street entrance is to be so altered that the Senate House,
the Public Library, and the magnificent Chapel, will all be
thrown open to the view at the end of a handsome street. The
estimated expellee of the improvements contemplated is half a
million.

BAYONNE, JUNE 29.—We have letters from
Madrid, 24th June. The Minister of Justice bas communi-
cated to the Royal Council the King's Decree, which contains
the regulations by which passports cannot i❑ any case be re-
fused to persons included in the amnesty, unless it be for Mad-
rid or the Royal residences; for, in this case, a special permis-
sion from his Majesty is necessary. A long article dated from
Cadis gives details respecting the present situation of affhirs
in .Peru t if these accounts, are true, they are very satisfac.
tory for the Mother Couniry, but many persons suspect their
authenticity. The French gardes du corps, who it seems will
finally depart on the esai, r.r.dca un tisazoki before the King
and Court.

Sonic persons affirm that the Great Council held on Sunday
the 21st was to discusa the affairs of Portugal, and that the King
formally declared, that he never would recognise the Cortes
which have just been re-established in Portugal ; that, for his
part, ho would either be an absolute Sovereign or a mere private
individual; that if the Holy Alliance required hint to follow
the example of the King of Portugal, he would resign the
crown, and come and ask an asylum in France. Other per.
sons say that the object Of the Council was to acquaint the Fo-
reign Ambassadors with the desperate situation of America.
The reports that the Holy Alliance has hostile intentions to.
wards England gain ground.. •
Sir William A 'Court was not present at the last Council....
As for the Ambassador of the United States, he has long since
ceased to take any.part in the deliberations of the Ambassadors
of the Holy Allianc.. '
The Apostolic Junta is more active than ever.

Our letters say nothing of the conspiracy which was reported
to have been disco4red and prevented by the French. It seems
to. have been an unfounded rumour.

FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Courier Francais.)
PARIS, OCT. 10.—The German Journals,
which have arrived to-day, do not mention that
hostilities have yet been commenced on the part
of the English against the Greeks, agreeably to
the Proclamation of the Lord High Commis-
missioner of the lonian Islands. By the last
English Journals received, it appears that this
hews bad not then arrived in England. Undoubt-
edly it will cause a lively indignation among all
the who are worthy of the name, and
who have already given to the Greeks so many
proofs of the interest they take in their success.
It may be conceived that an English Pro-Consul
:nay have published the odious Decree we no-
ticed yesterday, but it seems impossible for the
Government of Great Britain to take on itself, in
the face of Europe, all the opprobrium with
which it will be covered by making common
cause with the pirates of Algiers and the robbers
of Imre.
Yesterday came, on for hearing, before the
Tribunal of Correctional Police, the affair of the
heirs of Fouche, Duke of Otranto, and the book-
seller M. Lerouge. The heirs of Fouche accuse
the bookseller of having falsely attributed to
their father the Memoirs recently published.
The cause was postponed for a fortnight : we
shall give the details when it again comes on.
( Front the Constitutiomie!.)
An old soldier of Fontenoy, 101 years of age,
who claimed a cross twenty years ago, has lately
received one in consequence of his grandson, an
invalid, aged 61, having remarked that his grand-
father had been forgotten.

The Brussel3 Oracle contains the following
article:—The population of Madrid has varied in
a singular manner ; with '2O years under Charles
IV., it was estimated at 156,000 natives, 10,000
foreigners exercising all kinds of trade. During
the short reign of Joseph, the munber of inhabit-
ants diminished a tenth part. Under the Cortes
it was augmented. As things are now going on,
and if the practice of banishing all the suspected
is persisted in, this town will very soon be as
silent as the grave. According to the latest news,
there are not more than 100,000 people in
Madrid ; but us the expulsion is going on with
great activity, it is impossible to say where the
evil n ill stop. While the population of Madrid
is decreasing, that of Brussels is daily increasing.
Such is the difference between a Constitutional
Government and Absolute Power.
London, England, 1824-10-13

GREECE.

The following is an extract of a letter received
from Mr. BLAtaultitz by the Secretary of the
Greek Committee :

" We sailed.from Napoli di Romania on the 29th of August,
touched at Zante on the 31st, and left it on the following day ;
put into Malaga for water, and have been seventeen days on
our passage thence. With respect to the state of !inks in
the confederations when we left, I am justified in represent-
ing it as very prosperous. You have, of course, received
the account and details of Admiral Scatuvi's gallant exploit
in destroying a Turkish line-of-battle ship, a frigate, and
a corvette, together with a number of transports, in the
vicinity of Samos, on the 20th of August, and without any
greater force than a squadron of eighteen Greek ships. The
total failure of Mehemet Ali's formidable expedition must
also be known to the friends of Greece in England. At Sa-
lona and its neighbourhood the successes have been most
brilliant, the army of Dervish Pasha having been beaten and
dispersed some days before my departure from Napoli di Ro-
mania. The Prince Maurocordato, from whom I found letters
at Zante, had advanced into Acarnania, and established his
head-quarters at Lidourike, where a large force was collected
to attack the Pacha of Scutari's troops, but that Chief
had been enabled to collect only 2,500 men, and there was con-
sequently no appearance of any attack on the side of Val-
tos and Xenoniavis. You must also have heard that the di-
vision, which had advanced towards Athens, hue been driven
back to Negropont. I hope that the first letters you receive
will bring an account of the destruction of Mehemet Ali's ar-
mament. The whole Greek fleet, to the number of 100 sail,
was destined for this grand object, and was on its way to
Rhodes for the purpose of attacking the enemy," &c. &c.

'CAUTION TO THOSE PURCHASING MUSIIIIOOIII9
--Last week the family of Mr. SeLATT, of
Bridgewater, was thrown into the greatest state
of alarm from the following circumstances :
Raving purchased a quantity of mush-rooms, they
partook of them for supper, but had not long re.
tired to rest, before they were all seized with a
violent degree of sickness, and a swelling of the
body. Medical assistance was immediately pro-
cured, and we are happy to state., that the prompt
administration of necessary drugs ultimately re-
lieved them, and they are consequently now out.
of danger. Too much caution cannot be used in
the purchase of this description of plant for do-
mestic purposes, as so little difference sometimes
exists -between it and what is vulgularly termed
a toad-stool, the latter of which is well known
to possess poisonous qualities, and must if taken,
evcn in a moderate degree, prove fatal.

THE THEATiIIt,

•
COVENT-GARDEN.---The tragear of rne Fair
Penitent was last night revived at this heatre.
Formerly the several characters appearad in the
dresses of the day, but last night they were
habited in what, we believe, are technically deno-
minated shapes, that is the ancient costume of
Italy and Spain. The Fair Penitent was formerly
a very popular play, and Calista was the part in
which every fair noviciate came forward. It is
now seldom represented, and modern critics are
severe in their comments on the works of Rowe.
But he possessed real genius, and there is great
vigour as well us smoothness in his versification.
The Poet that could design Bajaret, Tamerlane,
follow SUAKSPEARE in Gloster with consider
able success, and pourtray so different a cha-
racter as 46 the gallant gay Lothai•io, give also
an interesting colouring to the meek resig.
nation of Jane Shore, contrasted with the in-
vention of the furious and vindictive Alicia, must
be a Poet of no ordinary talents. There are
other plays of ROWE that were once popular,
and might still be acted with success. He was
admired during his life, and his memory is con-
secrated by an epitaph from POPE, whose post. •
humans panegyric may well outweigh the carp-
ings of the shallow Critics of the day. The part
of Calista was last night assigned to Mrs. SLo-
stAN. Her performance was marked by -feeling,
good sense, and suitable deportment, but it did
not, in our opinion, rise to prominent excellence.
Her best acting was in the scene where she tears
the letter presented to her by Horatio. In this
she was impressive, and excited much applause.
There was a moral dignity, blended with au ani-
mated indignation against dishonour, in the Horatio
of Yotmn,but he appeared tons to direct his attest-
lion, in his soliloquies and side-speeches, too much
towards the audience. CHARLES KEMBLE has
lately been so successful in characters of bold,
resolute, and careless comedy, that it is difficult
for him to avoid the same manner in parts that
demand a higher demeanour. Perhaps something
of this jovial ease was visible in his Lothario ;
but the character is gay and licentious, and
therefore is analogous to those which he repre-
sents of a comic description. COOPER represented
the weak, but amiable character of Allan/old with
judgment and feeling, and EGERTON was at least
a respectable Sciolto. There was a numerous
but not a crowded audience, and the Play was
throughout very well received.

ELECTIONEERING.

Some warm work is expected in each of our
immaculate Northern Dotoughs, at the next general Election.
Alderinan Kay, it is also said, is to be brought forward for
Chi ppenh am.—( Devizes Gazette.)

WELLS, DEC. 13.—Great opposition is expect•
ed in this city at the ensuing general election. Mr. Taylor, one
of our Members, was on Friday last drawn into the town by a
number of his constituents, and bills from each party are issu-
ing. Sumptuous dinners were provided for them on Monday
last, one at the White Hart, for the present; another at the
Somersetshire Arms for their opponents.—( floats Telegraph.)

Lewes Borough, will, no doubt, he strongly
contested at the next Election. Four new Candidates are talk-
ed of, viz. Mr. Kemp, 31.1'. Mr. Baring, Mr. Cresset Pelham,
111.1'. and Mr. Donovan. The former (Mr. K.) is the greatest
favourite, his family having been for so many years connected
with, and respected by the inhabitants.--(Did.)

Alexander Glynn Campbell, Esq. and Colonel
Bailey made their entry into Fowey on Tuesday last, as candi-
dates for the sufliages of the worthy and independent electors at
the next general election.. They were received with all the pomp
and circumstance usual on such very important occasions.—
( !Vest Briton.)
COUNTY DUDLIN•--We are authorised to state
that the Hon. Wm. Brabazon, son of the Earl of Meath, will
be a Candidate on the next vacancy for the representation of
this county.—( Dublin Paper.)
Mr. Rochford is a candidate for the County of
Westmeath. Mr. Latham has for the present relinquished
being a candidate for the representation of the County Cork,
the Roman Catholic Body not having attended to his notifica-
tion, in coining forward, as he anticipated, to his support.—
( Isiah Times.)

NEW SURREY INSTITUTION.---At eight o'clock
last night a public Meeting was held at the
Grove House, Camberwell, for the purpose of
establishing a new Surrey Institution, for literary
and scientific purposes, in the neighbourhood of
Camberwell, Kennington, and Walworth.—Mr.
Sheriff KEY was prevented, by indisposition,
from taking the Chair. In his absence, Mr.
FAVELL presided, and the establishment of the
Institution was agreed upon, after some appro-
priate observations from Dr. BIRKDECK, Mr.
FAVELL, the Rev. Mr. Chum, and some other
Gentlemen who reside in the neighbourhood.

SCANDALOUS FaAuD.--•John Capon was charged,
at Bow-street Office, this day, with spreading a
report of the assassination of Lord LIVERPOOL
and Earl BATHURST. Mr. Theophelous. Clarke, of
the Adelphi, was alarmed by the prisoner, who
was calling out, in the most violent manner,
" The Courier Second Edition of the Assassina-
tion of the above persons," and he was given in
custody.—The prisoner said, he heard that the
deaths of their Lordships were reported in The
Courier, but had not time to look at the Paper to
ascertain whether it was true.—The Magistrate
reprimanded the prisoner, and ordered him to
find bail, himself in 501., and two sureties in 251.
each.
London, England, 1824-12-21

FOR THE SUN.

Ma. EDITOR—The War between Tv aim acid
GREECE engages at present the attention of all
Europe, and the general opinion seems to be that
it will end in the downfall of the Turkish Em-
pire,
which empire has been understood to be
one foot of the Eastern leg of the Prophet DA.
NIEL'S Image (ch. 2.), or that portion of the fourth
(divided) empire, which was to fall into the
hands of the King of the North, who was to
plant (pitch) the tents of his horse-station be-
tween the seas, in the glorious holy mountain
(ch. xi.), which the Turk has literally done.
Tidings also out of the East and out of the North
have troubled him, and he has gone forth with
great fury to take away and destroy many:; at
length he is likely to come to his end, and to
find none to help him. These things, if they
turn out so with the sequel in the next chapter,
open a wide field for the contemplative mind.—
The restoration of the Jews seems likely to fol-
low quickly. Let the Learned Reader that. is
inclined to pursue this subject consult the second
Book of Esdras, where it is more diffusely treated
of.—(See ch. 12. and to the end of the Book.)
It is true this Book has been held to be Apo-
cryphal, whether justly or not may deserve fur-
ther inquiry ; it has at least something to recom-
mend it, beiii.; perfectly consonant to the rest of
Scripture ; as much, however, of it as can be
understood, and much more of it may be under-
stood than is generally imagined. It has some
pretensions also to inspiration, for it foretells the
reigns of 12 Caesars, and 12 only.—(Ch. xi. and
xii.)
Although the Book is addressed to the Jewish
nation, and the scene of the calm' ties foretold
lies in Egypt, Syria, and Asia, yet it seems to
be of too general an import to give any room for
the Christian shiner of Europe to expect to escape,
and his only trust should be in following the di-
rection given him in verse 67. ch. 16.:—" Be-
hold ! God himself is the Judge ; leave off from
your sins, and forget your iniquities to meddle
no more with them for ever, so shall God lead
you, forth and deliver you from all trouble."

LORD COCIIR&NE.

When Lord COCHRANE was deprived of his
rank in the British Navy, ordered to be de-
spoiled of his honours, his Knighthood, banners
of the Bath, &c. kicked out °fHenry the Seventh's
Chapel, after the memorable verdict and sentence
following the Stock Exchange persecution, his
Lordship, among other things, was required to give
Up the medallion, &c. of the Order of the Bath,
possessed by him as one of the Knights. This he
declared he never would do, except into the
King's own hands. 'Those honours had resulted
from Royal favour, and the King only should
personally take from him such customary pecu-
harities of the Order as were in his power. The
modal he accordingly kept ; but it is now under-
stood he has, by the recent arrivals from South
America, returned the medal, with a letter ad-
dressed to the King, to be forwarded to his
Majesty.—Lady Cochrane is now in this country,
and Lord Cochrane is positively corning home;
and it is inferred, from his Lordship having so
sent the medal, as well as from the speech made
by Sir J. Mackintosh in the House of Commons
as to the propriety of restoring him, that Lord
Cochrane has some expectation, in the event of
his returning to England, that he would be re-
stored to his rank in the British Navy. Lord
Cochrane certainly returns home, and it is added
that he feels so little indebted to " politics," as
not to be likely to mingle in party feuds here-
after. The composition of the letter accompany.
'hg the medal is spoken of in the highest terms.

tatlon of the duty on tobacco, and other products. fie has also
annulled the new form given to the administration of the pub-
lic revenue appropriated for the extinction of the national debt.
In fact, all the projects which have received his sanction since
the appointment of M. Ballasteros have been reversed. It is
also said there is to, be a complete change of the Ministers;
that M. Ilallasteros has already resigned, and that M. Faro,
formerly Minister, is to be Minister of Finance. His Majesty
has signed a decree that all Municipal Bodies may dispose of
their property for whatever purpose it may have been destined,
for the equipment of Royal Volunteers. The decree recom-
mends the Municipality of Madrid to form, as soon as possible,
the fourth battalion of Royal Volunteers of this town. The
French employed at the assault of Tarifa displayed the greatest
valour, and mounted four times to the assault. The insur-
gents, upon quitting the place, had hardly time to embark
with their provisions, the guns of the place, and their wounded.
—An expedition which left Gibraltar lately, landed at Almeria,
near :Grenada, but was speedily obliged to put again to sea.
This is announced in a Proclamation of General Campana,
Captain-General of Grenada.

THE THEATRE.

HA YM A nKET.—The engagement of Miss PATOY
having closed at this Theatre, and her talents
transferred to the English Opera House, the part
of Susanna, in The Marriage of Figaro, was last
night assigned to Madame VESTII IS. It was sup-
ported with vivacity and feeling, anti she gave the
airs with skill and taste. The audience was
numerous, and the boxes in particular were oc-
cupied by a fashionable audience. The general
applause was abundantly shared by Madame
VESTR IS, and LirroN in Figaro, and the whole
went off with successful animation.

ANTIQUITY OF TUE FOUNDATION OP TUB Co-
mma TU EATRE.—The Coburg, although the last
erected of our present Theatres, has to boast of
higher antiquity as to its foundation than any of
its rival structures on either side of the river.
The marshy lands on which this fabric is built re-
quired artificial aid in laying its foundation, and
as about that time the ancient palace of John of
Gaunt, -Duke of Lancaster, called the Savoy,
was taken down for the purpose of opening a com-
munication to Waterloo-bridge, the proprietors
of this Theatre contracted fora sufficient quantity
of the ancient stones of which the Savoy Palace
had been composed, and had them transported in
barges to the Surrey side of the river, and on
those materials the superstructure of the Coburg
Theatre was raised.

POETRY.

EPITAPH,
On a Tomb-stone in an Irish Country Church-yard.
A little spirit slumbers here,
Who to one heart was very dear;
Oh ! he was more than life or light,
Its thoughts by day—its dream by night!
The chill winds came--the young flow'r faded
And died :—.the grave its sweetness shaded.
Fair boy! thou shouldst have wept fur me,
Not I have had to mourn o'er thee;
Yet net long shall this sorrowing be—
Those roses I have planted round,
To deck thy dear and sacred ground,
When spring gales next those roses wave,
They'll blush upon thy mother's grave.
