TO CORRESPONDENTS.
The wager of "C. Y." is decided. The best hams in England
are at Burgess's, 107, Strand.

We this day present to the Public a
MAP OF CHINA,
which we designed nine months ago, but which
political circumstances for the time had thrown into
the shade. We now produce this-Map, with all the
improvements which experience has suggested, by
the Queen's Geographer.; but the public will he
pleased to bear in mind that Wood-cutting, on the
extensive principle which we exhibit this day, is
not to be easily accomplished. Our descriptive
Map of China gives a fu!l account of Chusan,
Pekin, Canton, and the places which may from time
to time be occupied by the China-Indian Army. It
has been hitherto supposed that China was a sealed
book, but our researches have enabled us to lay
before the public a correct and authentic account
of this most interesting part of the globe.
The art of Engraving is at present only in
progression, but we have no doubt that we
shall very speedily arrive at the means of
producing Engravings in a few hours which have
hitherto taken months.
Having discovered a method by which we can
print six thousand copies an hour instead of two
hundred, we shall in a short time present to the
public a MAP of ali the RAILWAYS in the
United Kingdom, execired upon an entirely
new principle, for the ordinary price of a paper.

LONDON:
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1840.

The Bank of England is accused, and apparently with
truth, of jobbing in the Funds, making time bargains, and
engaging in a course of dealing which the law calls gam,
bling, and will not recognize. With the command of
money given to it by the Legislature, it may influence the
market to almost any extent ; and those who are in the
secret of the Bank dealings, may regulate their own bar_
gains accordingly. As the day of settlement for time bar_
gains approaches, the question, we are told, is heard on all
sides, " Will the Bank take or deliver stock—will it carry
over or pay a continuation ?"—and the ruin of one specula-
tor, and the fortune of another, depends on the answer.
The day before yesterday it took about 400,000/. Consols,
which were purchased by the Bank broker a few weeks
back, at 3 per cent. below the present quotation. In con-
junction with this, it has issued another notice, tend-
ing to make money plentiful, and stocks rise still higher.
If this Corporation be allowed to buy and sell, while it
holds in its hands the measure of commodities, which it
shortens when it wants to sell, and lengthens when it
wants to buy, it must win at other people's ex-
pense. Such a proceeding is no better than trading
with false measures, which, according to Scripture, " is an
abomination." It is that sort of offence for which retail
dealers in Clerkenwell have their scales taken away, and
are fined. In ordinary stock jobbers, that which is
only gambling is, in the Bank of England, the regulator of
the currency, no better than swindling. If it may jib in
the stocks, why may it not job in tallow or in tea, and raise
or lower the prices, by altering the standard or measure,
as suits its own convenience? It has been considered a
grievance that some of the Bank Directors are private
merchants, but for the Corporation to become a trader, and
to job, whether it be in the funds or in wheat, should, like
every other dealing with false measures, be put an end to
by the strong arm of the law. Take from the Bank the
exclusive privilege of issuing promises to pay on demand,
and it may job like any other banker as much as it pleases.

The Devizes Gazette, a Pro-Corn-law journal, not con-
tented with publishing letters and leading articles inciting
the farmers and others to cudgel Mr. SIDNEY SMITH—net
content with abusing him as a " hireling, a man with a
brazen front," as totally free from all restraints of peie"ei_
lc "as worse than JACK CAnE, as cowardly and pcunning,"
using the press to annihilate him if possible—not contented
with all these weapons, it calls on the SECRETARY of STATE
tohave an eye on him, and plainly intimates that he ought to
be prosecuted by the Government. " We have no hesitation
in saying," are its words, " that Mr. SIDNEY SMITH has
forfeited the protection due to those who discuss public
questions." It condemns the mistaken leniency by
which several score of intelligent men have been shut ur
in prison for many months, on account of political offences,
and it tells the Government, " if Mr. SMITH and his col.
leagues are allowed to go en unchecked, the Government
will probably regret its error." It describes Mr. Satin'
and other " travelling spouters,"as going "about the county
preaching sedition and anarchy ; inflaming the minds of the
lower classes against the Government, the laws, the
Church, and the established order of society, under the
pretence of delivering lectures against restrictions on the
importation of corn." The Pro-Corn-law men, there-
fore, assailed in their stronghold, and alarmed by
the voice of truth, cry out at once to suppress dis-
cussion. Under the pretext of preserving order, they
would gag the Anti-Corn-law lecturers. They show
themselves in this wise in their generation, for if they do
not put down discussion, discussion will put down the
Corn-laws. There is no alternative. The voice of
the public speaker, the voice of the press, must
he stifled, or the authors and supporters of the Corn-laws,
whether the Executive, the Legislature, the Priesthood,
or the Aristocracy unless they give up those hateful and
iniquitous laws, will perish with them. Much evil have
they already entailed on the community, but it will not,
we believe, think the preservation of the starvation code
ought to be purchased by the suppression of freedom of
speech.
It is silly for writers to rave against lecturers, because
their words arc dangerous to the established order of so-
ciety, the Church, and the laws; for those words have no
particle of power except they rouse the affections, or con-
since the reason, of their hearers. Mr. Salmi's words
have kindled an indignation egainst the breed-tax, even in
Wiltshire. Ile has made the hail-starved resent, and the
impoverished, though hitherto too often s"i vile shopkeeper,
aware that the bread-tax deprives the labourer of lood, and
the retail dealer of customers. Ills words have reached
their souls, and have become in them a new life. They
Fee that they have been basely deluded and basely plun-
dered by those who have pretended to teach and to pro-
tect them ; and the growing indignation in their bosoms
of which conscience gives to the Ilileshire Gazette and its
patrons a speedy intimation, has already terrified the Pro-
Corn-law men.
If Mr. SMITH'S words were received no more favour-
ably by the multitude than they would be by the House of
Peers, the Gazette would only laugh at them ; but he is
to be restrained acrd more ssveraly punished ti,srl ROBERTS
and CARRIER, because the multitude feel indignation at
those, who, being at once tyrants and hypocrites, oppress
their fellow-oreatures in the names of humanity and reli.

gion. Mr. SMITH is not to blame : the great Creator of
man is to blame, who has endowed him with a hatred of
wrong, and a susceptibility to indignation, as a check to
injustice. The Gazette and its patrons should call for
punishment, to change the mind of man ; for, as long as
it is unchanged, the authors and supporters cf Corn-laws
can never feel secure. Not only must discussion be sup-
pressed in favour of the Corn.laws, but, if possible, the
laws of nature and of Con must be overturned.

We refer our readers, with sorrow, to the decision of the
Judges in the Court of Queen's Bench this day, in the case
of Mr. BAINES. He is ordered back to prison, where he
must remain till relieved by some unknown hand, or by an
Act of Parliament. The Judges havo done their duty—
they have decided according► to the la of the land—that
law which the Duke of WELLINGTON, with the support and
cordial approbation of the Bishops, passed last Session,
against contscientious Dissenters. We trust yet to make
even the heads of the Church ashamed of it.

The close of M. TRIERS' speech has reached us, and
was rntr:h mere effective than its commencement. He
spoke in an excited manner, and allowed his desire for war
and conquest to break plainly out. He would be a NAPO-
LEON, if circumstances would allow him. Both great in-
dignation at being defeated, and vast amhitien, are clearly
manifest. We hope the firebrand, now that he is known
will not be again entrusted with power.
.. If the Paella of Egypt (he said) submit—that is, if he sub
mit sufficiently early—he may perhaps be left the hereditary
possession of Egypt. I say perhaps—and as a result of negotia-
tion—if he submit in time—that is the condition. You will
then have nothing more to behold in the question—nothing to
do. I was then right in saying that the question had received
its solution. • • . The truth must be told
to the country. There is in that which is passing a great fact
—namely, that you have lost all your influence in the Mediter-
ranean. It is not, thank God ! that our territory is threat-
! ened, for none dare pass the Rhine to at tack us; but you have
lost the prestige which gave to you the alliance of England.
You must demonstrate by your armaments that you can resist
all Europe, England included, otherwise you reveal to Europe
the secret of your weakness, and every time that you have a
difference of opinion with England, Europe will know that in
forming with that Power an alliance they can force you to sub-
mit. . I say with grit f that you have lost
_

the finest cpportunity that ever offered for repairing in Italy the
evils pu have incurred in Belgium._( Cheers from the Gauche.)
At present proclaim to them that they' can intimidate you.—
(Never, never.); It is now notorious that France desired to
effect the object which she renounces.

The !Teret is out. The coalition is foi mcd, and you will often
again be met by it. . In the position in
which France is placA, one of two things must happen---either
that the country proportion its energy to its pretensions, or re-
duce its pretensions to the energy for which they gave it credit.

CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY.)

CHADWICK V. DIVMDWOOD
This was an appeal from a decision of the Master of the
Rolls overruling a plea.
The LORD CHANCELLOR dismissed the appeal with costs.

\VEBB V. GRACE.
The question in this case arose upon tho construction of
a will, and was devoid of public interest.

VICE-CHANCERY-(THIS DAY.)

The Vier-CHANCELLOR this day head petitions.
IN RE SABINES' INFANTS.
This was a petiti,)n for the appointment of a guardian
to two infant children, their mother having fallen into
pecuniary difficulties. The petition was opposed by Mr.
Jacob. but the Court made the order prayed for.

COURT GOSSIPS. It would would be as well if certain Barristers, who are not
overburthcned with business, would remain in their cham-
bers instead of standing round the fire in the Court, corn-
plQtely blocking op the passage, and go;siping and laugh-
ing to the annoyance of the Learned Judge and every
one engaged in the case that is being heard.
His Honour no less than three times this morning requested
silence, but these talkative gentlemen showed their respect
to the Court by persisting in their buzzing noise, and it
was not until the Court keeper threatened them with an
ejectment that their nuisance abated.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

( Sittings in Banco.)
THE QUEEN V. BAINES —CHURCH RATES.
Lord DENMAN delivered judgment in this else at the
sitting tit the Court. lie said the Court had promised
to give judgment in the case of the Queen v. Baines, and
they had mentioned, the other day, that upon the first
point brought forward, the Ccurt entertained no doubt
whatever, alter the information that had been submitted
to it, namely that the official principal was the proper per-
Seri to certify to the Court of Chancery, and not the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury ; the second objection was that the
party being in contempt, had instead of being committed
for the contempt, b en condemned in Church Rates, and
sentenced to pay a certai t suns and costs. The objection
was strongly urged that the proceeding was illegal,
it being said that it was against natural justice, and
the authorities, that perties should be committed for
contempt in not appeasing, and sentenced to the
whole effect of what aas brought against them.
The Court did not accede to that ooctrine—they thought
it depended entirely upon circumstances, whether or not the
pa; ty might be so proceeded against, because if he had fuil
notice of the contempt he hau an opportunity of attending
when sun:moiled. It was in vain to say shat he had been
treated unjtotly by reason of the Court proceeding in his
absence,—it the Court did what it was bound to do, namely,
to adjudge him to pay the sum sued fur and costs. Without
entering into the particular authorities there was none that
went the length of sAying that there was any general prin-
ciple as to proceeding against the absent, where the ab-
sence is the consequence of the voluntary act of the de.
Pendant himself. Then it had been said that the case had
not been properly described—it was said to he a case for
the subtraction of Church-rates, and that it did not appear
whether it was such a Church rate as was subject to the
jurisdiction of the Ecclesiastical Court, and that the de-
scription was altogether insufficient. In tile first place,
the " King v. Fowler," reported in 12th Modern Reports,
had been cited, anti there is direct authority for saying
that subtraction of Church-rates alone is a good descrip-
tion of the cause. In that case the writ was set aside be-
cause the cause was described to be pro subtractione deci-
marium, vel aliorum jurium ecclesiasticorum. The Court
said that that was plainly uncertain and insufficient, inde-
pendently. of the practice of the Ecclesiastical Courts in
these times, which appear to have been to give so general
a description of the proceedings to the Court of Queen's
Bench, that no information whatever was conveyed by
them, and it was impossible to say whether or not the mate
ter was within their jurisdiction. In that case John Holt
declared his opinion to be that pro substractione decima-
rium was a good description, and therefore subtraction of
Church-rates was in itself sufficient, and the Court was of
opinion that when it was so described it was not ne-
cessary for it to negative all the circumstances
that took away the jurisdiction. In the first place,
the Court n:ust presume that the Ecclesiastical Court
was acting in such a case as they had jurisdiction
over, that jurisdiction being removable only by circum-
stances which they would not be warranted in presuming.
Then there was some question raised about the writ not
being stated to be open, as well as delivered to that Court,
' according to the statute of Elizabeth. The Court thohght
that objection without any weight; but there was one ob-
jection which they were much struck with, which appeared
upon the siguiticavit, and which the Sheriff states in his
warrant for detaining the defendant. That significavit, as
set out in the Sheriff's return, describes the individual as
" William Baines, of Market-place, in the borough of
Leicester, hatter and hosier, a parishioner and inhabitant
of the parish of St. Martin's, in the borough of Leicester,
in the said county of Leicester." That was a very redun-
dant and unnecessary exprossisn, and had given rise to
a great deal of doubt in the mind of the Court,
and it was necessary to consider it, because, in
the first place, the introduction of the word " bo-
rough " had raised sonic doubt about the jurisdic-
tion. It was possible the borough might be in some other
jurisdiction, as well as that of the county. He might be
described in general terms as belonging to the county, but
then tollovvect the description "parishioner and inhabitant,"
words which, instead of removing tho difficulty, created
one; because a " parishioner and inhabitant" might be one
who did not reside within the borough, but who, for the
purposes of Church-rates, might be sucable even if he re-
sided out of the borough. All that difficulty had arisen
from a departure from the plain and simple words of the
statute. They were all of opinion that there ought to be
the greatest caution in attending to the words of the
Act of Parlaiment, and adhering strictly to these forms
which Parliament had laid down, to be employed on par-
ticular occasions. But the question was whether in point
of fact, the Act of Parliament bad been complied with in
the description employed. The terms of the Act of Par-
liament, required the Sheriff to take such a one " of
in your county of —." The Court was of opinion on
the whole, that the person so described, as of
the borough of Leicester wag also of the county of Lei-
cester, and on reference to the Parliamentary Boundary
Act, which defined the borough of Leicester was in all its
parts included in the county of Leicester. That was as
much part of the law as any other, and they were bound to
take notice of it. Therefore having it ascertained by their
knowledge of the law that the description " of the borough
of Leicester," included within the county of Leicester,
their opinion must be that the defendant was within the
jurisdiction of the Sheriff who had brought him there. On
these grounds, therefore, the Court was of opinion that the
case had been properly brought before them ; that the re-
turn was good, and that the defendant must be remanded.
The defendant was then removed in custody.

CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT,
(Before Mr. Baron Paiute.)
William Taylor, the captain of the Hull steamship the London,
and George West, the pilot on board the same vessel, were in-
dicted for the manslaughter of Michael Shea, by upsetting the skiff
in which he was, and drowning him in the Thames.
Mr. Clarkson and another Learned Gentleman conducted the
prosecution. Messrs. Phillips, Bodkin, and Chambers, appeared for
the defendants.
Mr. CianicsoN said that the present prosecution was instituted
by the Corporation of the Trinity House, who had no other object
than the protection of the public. The Learned Counsel then
proceeded to state that it was highly necessary that the illegal navi_
gation of the Queen's highway, which the river might be consi.
dered as being, should be put an end to. He then proceeded to
state that the deceased was at the helm of a ballast lighter on the
day in question when this occurrence took place, and the defend-
ant Taylor was the captain of a steamship called the London, be-
longing to the Hull Steam Packet Company, and West was the
apprentice of a pilot belonging to the Trinity House. The occur.
rence in question took place in the night; and, as he was instructed,
the persons in the ballast lighter seeing the steamer ap...
proaching, called out to her, but she continued in her
course, and when it was evident that she must get foul of the
lighter, the deceased jumped into a skiff; and at the same instant
the steamer ran over the skiff; cut it in two, and the deceased was
thrown into the water and drowned. The Learned Counsel then
proceeded to enter into a further detail of the circumstances of the
case, and said that the Grand Jury had ignored the bill, and the
jury would have to consider the Coroner's inquisition only. He
should he obliged to call witnesses that were on board the steam
ship, to show the capacity in which the defendants were acting on
the night In question.
Mr. Baron PARKE said, that, according to the inquisition, it
would be necessary to show that the defendants propelled the steam-
ship against the'skiff. It was a very serious case, and would re.
quire strict proof.
Some discussion took place, and at length Mr. Clarkson consented
to withdraw from the prosecution.
The defendants were accordingly acquitted.
f. CHARGE OF MURDER—James Littleton, -aged 27, was Indicted
for the wilful murder of Mary Nichols, alias Rachel Solway, alias
" Flash Poll," in St. Giles's.
Mr. Adolphus conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Chambers was
retained on behalf of the prisoner.
This case has recently been given length under the head of
" Hatton-garden Police-office."
The jury deliberated for a few minutes, when the Foreman said
the jury had come to the conclusion that the prisoner was guilty of
manslaughter. The Foreman added, that the jury requested him
to express their opinion that the offence was of the most aggravated
character, and approached as nearly as possible to the crime of
murder.

The prisoner was then called up for judgment, and
Baron PARKE, after remarking upon the enormity of fhe offence
the prisoner had committed, sentenced him to be transported for life.
The Learned Recorder sat after the Judges retired from the
Bench, but the cases disposed of were not of any interest.

TOTNES.—News having. arrived on Sunday
last by The Sun newspaper, that our gracious Queen had
been safely delivered of a daughter, the Mayor, NV. D.
Taunton, Esq., with Ilia usual promptitude and loyalty,
thinking there could be no better way to announce the
joyous event to the public than by a peal on the church
bells, sent his sergeant-at-mace to request permission of
the vicar that the bells might be rung, and to his surprise
received a positive refusal, it being Sunday. The Mayor,
however, determined that the happy event should be an.
nounced, if not by the church bells by sonic other bell,
and he accordingly had it preclaimed by the ruidie cryer,

i'ATAL ACCIDEN it' ON THE LONDON AND
BLacwitu, RAILWO.Y. Yesterday forenoon, about twelve
o'clock, George Walton, who was employed on the Lon.
don and Blackwell Railway, and who was a foreman of a
gang of navigators, met with his death on the railway, near
the West India Dock station, was at work at the time
that the up Blackwall train was approaching, and was in a
stooping position, when he was struck on the head by the
lamp.iron of the first carriage, which knocked him down
between the rails under the rope, and the other carriage
passed over him. The deceased, who was a hard-working
men, be; left a v.';fe and four children. Before the an
was struck the usual notice was given by the sound of a
horn, by one of the men on the train, but it is supposed
that he might not have heard it.

LOSS-OF THE CITY OF BRISTOL
STLIMER.

(From the Pristol Gazeltej
We has'efs.this morning (Wednesday) been favoured with the sub
stave of a' statement taken from the lips of the two survivors on
the above melancholy occasirn, by Captain Claxton, who arrived
In this city from Swansea yesterday evening. It confirms all the
previous accounts, and contains, of course, many repetitions, but it
is still of so interesting a nature that we subjoin it at length.
" The City of Brtstol left Waterford at the usual time, and soon
encountered heavy weather, and a foul wind, so bad that the
captain put back again, and remained until 11 P.M. Tuesday,
when the weather moderating he again put to sea. Nothing par_
tietVar happened oil Ihe voyage; the usual lights were correctly
made, until about 4 P.M. on Wednesday, when Poole, who was at
the helm, helped the captain to set Caldy, which was seen for about
ten minutes, the weather being very thick and hazy. Poole says
that the captain at that time said If the night was as thick as it
was then, he should anchor under the head, meaning Worms-
head. It was passed at 6 P.m., when the land was seen on the lar.
board bow, and almost immelliately afterwards on the starboard
bow also, just previously to which a man had been sent to get a
cast of the lead. The helm was put hard a-port, and
the jib hoisted (the wind being S.E., or off the land), to
help her round ; in the act of turning she took the ground,
cs me round on her Led, and her head canted towards
the Bury Holme, Mich was about one mile to the north of the place
she grounded at. The carpenter secured himself abaft the wheel,
inside the quadrant, or steering apparatus, where he remained from
a qu ltcr after six p.m., until three a.m. of Thursday, at which time
finding himself high up the beach, on about one-third of the quarter.
deck, which had been forced from the rest of the body, he tied his
emit by the sleeves to the iron work (where it was found at day light)
and jumped off After struggling in the surf, and having been
taken to seaward past the wreck, he was at length thrown up suf.
rcisntly high to make a scramble through the surf and sand
for the upper part of the oeach. This man's escape is marvellous,
as for nine hours the sea (which was of sufficient power to break
up a remarkably strong steam-ship into five large pieces, all of
which, except the one which is under and attached to the engines,
have been hove a quarter of a mile from the place where she bilged)
was every minute curling over his head and plunging with all
its weight upon him. He was able after lauding to
walk to Llanmaddock, two miles, and after changing his
clothes down to the beach. Poole, the seaman, repre-
sents the general facts of the ship's movements much in
the same way as the carpenter; and, as to his particular
escape, states that soon after the ship was struck by the sea, which
began to break all over her almost as soon as she fell into the
trough of the sea and became a fixture, and after many men had
been washed overboard with the pigs, he, with the captain, first-
mac, a female passenger, and two other sailors, went to the fore-
mast head. He thinks he had been there two hours or so, when a
heavy sea parted the after from the fore part of the ship, and the
foremast went by the board. He then found himself heavily bruised,
and on the crosstrees, half in and half out of the water, and one man
only with him. Ile never saw the captain or the others afterwards.
He got then on the fore.yard, finding the mast did not go away, and
from the yard to a 100 e part of the rudder-box, from whence a
heavy sea washed him. In swimming he caught something in his
left hand, and shortly afterwards something in his right, to both
of which he held fast until picked up exhausted on the beach by
the by-standers." It appeared he was brought on shore by a feat.
thee pillow and a piece of wood, at about eleven o'elock.
They both state that there were no cabin passengers, and only six
deck passengers. The whole number of persons on board was,
therefore, twenty.seven, of whom two only are saved. Up to Mon-
day as many as eleven bodies had been found; that of the captain
was landed sit his native place, Pill, on Tuesday evening from the
Bristol steamer, which vessel brought it from Swansea. Compe-
tent persons say the parts of the ship which are now to be
seen on the beach prove her to have been a very strong vessel, and
in excellent condition. The debris with which the shore is seat.
tered for two miles is principally composed of minute parts of the
joiners' work and cabin fittings.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FRIDAY.—There has no;
been any change in the character of our market this week. The
demand continuing moderate, with an increased desire to sell,
has caused prices generally, with the exception of Sea Islands
and Egyptians, to give way about id. per lb. The Surat at
auction to-day went off on the whole better than was
expected, and sold at quite as good rates as those obtained by
private contract. 3,180 bales offered, 1,350 bales sold at 3id.
to 311 d. Speculators have taken 500 American, and exporters
350 Surat. Sales to-day about 4,000 bales.
The President, arrived this morning, brings Papers to the
11th inst., which state that the elections have terminated fa-
vourably to the Harrison party. This, with the general infor-
mation received, is considered advantageous to the merchantile
interests.

Extract of a letter from New York by the President :
" Th. weather is fine : the co' ton and corn crops are both ex-
cellent. Money matters are slightly improving. All is quiet
in Canada ; all is horrible commotion and uncertainty in Mexico.
Texas is slowly going ahead."

A Jamaica mail has arrived by which we have received papers
to the 21st October. They contain no news of importance.

MR. SMITH'S I.ECTUltis.—lllve are to judge
of the c ffect of Mr. Smith's lectures en the bread taxers,
by the wrath of their organ, great indeed is the zeal and
trembling among them, and great, beyond expectation, has
teen Mr. Smith's success. We predicted that his efforts
here would cause some of our eighteen Members of Par-
liament to quake; but we candidly confess we were not
prepared for the wildfire rapidity with which consternation
has spread among those by whose support alone they can
calculate on a re-election. The fact is, the repeal of the
Bread-tax is, after all, the pivot on which Reform will he
made to turn,—the lever by which anuses may be removed,
an:l tyranny uprooted ; and the wedge which
f, skilfull arid
path or the pey ople
per,everingly driven hole, will open a
to march on to freedom.— Wiltshire Independent.
BRIGHTON, Nov. 25.—The Earl of Cardigan
returned last right from his estates in the north. It is
rumoured that a squadron of Prince ilussias are
about to march into Wales, where some fresh disturbances
have been apprehended, and in that case the Palace duty
will be performed by a troop of the Life Guards,
