NEW REGULATIONS OF THE MARYLEBONE CLUB.
At a recent meeting of the Committee of the Marylebone
Club, held in the Pavilion at Lord's, at which there were
present, the Hon. Colonel Lowther, the Hon. Frederick
Ponsonby the Hon. Capt. Liddell, Sir John Bayley, Bart.,
Charles darenc, Esq., and Roger Kynaston, jun., Esq., when
the following regulations were adopted:—
" The Committee will make the usual selection of gentle-
men and players for the several matches during the season ;
and being most anxious that as many of the former as possi-
ble should be chosen, they invite all members desirous of
playing to give their names to Mr. Dark, or the Hon. Secre-
tary of the club.
" The attendance of members on practice-days being usu-
ally very large, and complaints having been made that the
bowlers of the club are not always in the way when wanted,
more especially when a match terminates on a practice day,
the Committee have unanimously adopted the following re-
gulations, which, in future, will be strictly enforced :
" The Hon. Secretary will continue to enter the names of
the bowlers, who will attend on the four practice-days, in the
Bowlers Book,' and the same will be placed every Monday
afternoon on the table in the Pavilion.
"'Leave of absence during the week will not be granted to
any bowler wl.o shall not have signified his wish to the Hon.
Secretary, or a member of the Committee, if on the ground,
before three o'clock on Monday.
" No bowler, unless employed on the service of the dab,
will be allowed to be absent more than four practice-days
during the season; and then efficient substitutes must be.
found.

" At the conclusion of a match half an hour will be
granted to those bowlers who have either played, scored, or
stood umpire ; and at the expiration of that time they must
take their places on the ground : the ethers must have the
wickets immediately pitched for practice.
"' Members are particularly requested to address all coma
plaints in writing to the Hon. Secretary of the club.' "

" REMUNERATION TO BE PAID TO THE PLAYERS.

" The committee having considered the subject of the re-
muneration to the professional players for winning, can per-
ceive no reason for paying the players of their own ground
IL, and players not belonging to their ground 21., in additiori
to the sum paid for,their services; and having also considered
the improved rapidity and cheapness of travelling, have
unanimously resolved that the following be the scale of
payment in future for all matches in London and the
country :
i';:sl. fst4h;e pwlha3,e'reer'ist jsohuarnlie3;xtceo
etdhesofranoudndbesuhnallderexiee4d44lml
where it shall be under 50, 31.
"' Players belonging to the ground to be paid as follows :
—For a one day's match, IL ; for a match exceeding one
day, 2AIII players on the winning side to be paid IL in addi-
tion to the foregoing scale, except in a one day's match at
Lord's, in which the remuneration to the players of the
ground shall never exceed 1/.

" Umpires and scorers at Lord's shall be paid as usual;
the former 24. each, and the latter 11 each. But) in the
event of a match at Lord's lasting but one day, theumpires
and scores to be paid only half those sums. In all-country
matches, except those in the immediate vicinity of London,
such as Eton, Harrow, &c., when the terms must be matter
of special agreement, the umpires and scorers shall be paid a
medium price between winners and losers on the foregoing
specified scale for professional players.' "
The • Committee afterwards proceeded to the selection of
two elevens ; the first to play in the match at Oxford, to-
morrow and Friday, " The Marylebone Cricket Club, with
llillyer and Lillywhite, v. The Undergraduates of Oxford:*
which was as follows :

S. Lowndes, Esq.

A. Trevelyan, Esq.
Hillyer.
Lillywhite.

L. Bayley, Esq.
L. F. Currie, Esq.
W. Franks, Esq.
A. K. George, Esq.
H. W. Keate, Esq.
H. K 3 naston, Esq.
And then the second to play in the match of " Nine Gen,
tlemen of the Marylebone Club, with Hillyer and Lillywhite,
v. Nine Gentlemen of the Surrey Club, with Martingell and
Brockwell." The eleven of the Marylebone Cricket Club for
this matter are :
The Hon. H. Grimston. I S. Lowndes, Esq.

NSW NOVEL, BY TUE AUTHOR OF " MOUNT SOREL." leaving " not a wrack behind !" On Saturday a convocation of

Court' Journal. tion to the Corn and Customs' Bill, introduced by the
Henry Colburn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-street.
Prime Minister and sanctioned by the Commons. With this
most important announcement all expectations of a split
among the Whig aristocrats are dispelled, and the acceptance
of free trade by the other division of Parliament—perhaps
the greatest agricultural body in the empire I—assured be-
yond the most arrant scepticism. Our congratulations upon
this meeting and its consequent resolution are almost unre-
stricted. We congratulate the primitive advocates of the
great cause itself on the brightness of its futurity; the Peers
in question upon the wisdom by which their determination
has been inspired ; the country party on their unwilling pre-
servation from a destruction for which they themselves are
striving, under a delusive impression of their own sagacity ;
and the multitude generally, upon the fair promise which is
thereby given, that the proposed measures of relaxation
and abolition will have obtained the final approbation
of the Legislature before the days of " leafy June"
have altogether elapsed. Satisfied that the long-antici-
pated and long-desired victory is even now virtually accom •
plished, we can subside into the tranquillity and the dolce
far' niente tone which are usually the consequences of success
rejoiced that the labours of our legislative champions have
proved triumphant, and that the misjudging opposition of
their antagonists has proved futile. We shall, nevertheless,
be prepared to witness the furious onslaught of Lord
STANLEY upon his former colleagues. as well as a similar
exhibition of discontent from his supporters, the Dukes of
RICHMOND and BUCKINGHAM. Still whatever may be the viru-
lence of their acerbity, and however obsolete their arguments,
a patient hearing will be accorded to them from the moral
conviction of their impotence as opponents, and also in solemn
deference to the death-wail of an ancient system. Feeling
thus, and convinced that the boon of mercantile liberty
will be theirs at the announcement of the division,
the People can only look upon the forthcoming debate in the
Upper House in a spirit of subdued and complacent curio-
sity. Precisely as a drama will occasionally affect the spec-
tators, when their attention is somewhat deadened by the fact
of their recognising, in the opening scene of the last act, what
must inevitably be the denouement of the plot, though they
nevertheless persist in" sitting out" the piece to its termination,
for the purpose of rewarding the more successful performers
with their plaudits, and of sanctioning the morale of
the drama with their approbation. A very prevalent notion
exists, that the most eventful reigns in history are those
which are illumined by battles, and sieges, and campaigns ; and
that in the vicissitudes of military conflict exists the main in-
terest of our national records. If nothing else, the present session
will go far to demonstrate the fallacy of the impression, and
will adduce to futurity the age of VicromA as glorious, not
for the suppression of civil wars, or the bloody conquest of
new territories, but for the suppression of a monster evil in the
Constitution, MONOPOLY, and the establishment of a mercan-
tile millenium, FREE TRADE. The records of the recent and
the pending discussion upon this noble achievement
will kindle the enthusiasm of posterity and excite their
merriment by turns; while it will be an assurance to all after
generations that a speech may, under certain circumstances,
give evidence of as much valour es a forlorn hope; that a
Bill may be as memorable as a Proclamation penned upon the
battle-field, and that a vote may sometimes prove of infinitely
more importance than a charge of cavalry. And, notwith-
standing the spectacle be somewhat less picturesque than
the one witnessed upon Runnymede in 1215, with the Barons
in the foreground and King Joni.; in the perspective, the
present scene may be judiciously associated with the former—
this as establishing the emancipation of commerce, that as
assuring our personal rights as loyal subjects to the English
Crown. It is therefore with the liveliest feelings of satisfac-
tion and the profoundest sense of security, that we await the
decision of our Right Honourable Legislators, the Peers.

The fate of the Ten Hon& Bill was decided by the divi-
sion on Friday night. A majority of 10 obtained by the
Government may be regarded as a virtual defeat, and no
prudent Ministry would venture a second time to oppose on
their official responsibility a measure which is supported by
men of such weight and numbers in the House of Commons,
which has the general voice of the country in its favour, and
is sanctioned by the laws of mercy and justice. We find the
leading statesmen of the Whig or Liberal parties voting
in the minority, not from any selfish or fac-
tious purpose, nay possibly with regret that at the
present moment they should be found on any division by the
side of the Protectionists, but from a firm conviction that
the measure is desirable for the safety of the health, morals,
and the good conduct of the persons employed in factories,
and that the experiment can be made without any mis-
chievous results. The names of Sir GEORGE GREY, Lord
?'ALMERSTON, Lord Iteriposr, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Mr. MA-
CAULAY, Mr. CHARLES BULLER, and many others that could
be adduced, all appear in the list among the " Ayes." Such
an accumulation of authority, whether we regard the abilities
of the parties, their political station in life, their earnest
application to the subject, their practical experience, and
theit knowledge of what is called political economy, cannot
fail to make a deep impression on the country, and direct the
attention of all who have hitherto remained apathetic or
neutral to one of the most important questions of the day.
In the arguments on the other side we can find nothing de-
cisive or calculated to make an impression unfavourable to
the Bill. They abound in doubts, and fears, and misgivings,
for which no reasons are given except the uncertain results
of any great change, which might have been used with equal
effect against the catholic question, the Reform Bill, and in-
deed all the numerous remarkable measures which have re-
ceived the sanction of the Legislature within the last 20 years.
Sir R. PEEL seems to admit that he is groping iu the dark
while he anticipates, at the same time, a voluntary agreement
between the masters and the employed. " I intreat the
House," said he, at the conclusion of his speech, "to post-
pone taking this irrevocable step, for irrevocable I think it
will be, until you have better ground than yen have at the
present moment for drawing safe conclusions as to the effect
of the measure." And the concluding argument of Mr.BRIGIrr.
against the Bill was in our opinion strongly in it
favour. He looks forward, and very justly, to the working
of free-trade principles, and the abolition of the corn-laws,
as remedies for many of the sufferings that oppress the
operatives—nay, he anticiptles that they will work the
very cure for which the Bill is intended, that the manu-
facturers would become more kindly and gentle to their
labourers, and both would feel the conviction that they
could gain by a voluntary arrangement all they could
gain by legislation. The speech of Lord JOHN RUSSELL
was very brief, but it contained not a few striking
arguments, and showed that, under all circumstances, the
master manufacturers were the last that should oppose
this boon to the working classes. The abolition of the duty
on raw cotton had caused them a saving of not less than
thirteen per cent., and Mr. Ammon]) admitted that the tax
on corn absorbed the labour of two hours a day, equal to at
least fourteen per cent. loss; and cannot, therefore, the ca-
pitalist, with this twenty-seven per cent. saving, afford to
risk a change which, according to the widest cakulation of
Sir JAHNS GRAHAM, will not endanger his property beyond
sixteen per cent.? In the opinion of many it will not en-
danger it at all. We lean, therefore, to the side of mercy,
and encourage the hope that some measure of the kind will
yet be carried into effect, and that, among other blessings, it
will substitute for the present stinted race that fill these
great national workshops, men possessing
the bodily strength
and the healthy appearance of Englishmen.

YOUR WIFE TO CAMBERWELL ? Chesterfield Honeybun, Mr.
Wright; Isaac Crank, Mr. 0. Smith; Mrs. Crank, Mrs. F. Matthews,
Mrs. Iloneybun, Miss Emma Harding.

The Loadstone Rock and the Flying Indians. Principal characters
by Misses Woolgar, Emma Harding, Chaplin, Brooks, Taylor ; Mr.
Taal Bedford, Mr. Munyard, Mr. Mitchenson, &c.

One of those extraordinary and lamentable occurrences
peculiar to Ireland lately took place at Bird Hill, in the
county of Tipperary, when two human beings lost their lives
in a resistance to the execution of an habere, under which the
sub-sheriff was about to deliver the possession of lands from
which the tenants had been ejected for the non-payment ofrent.
The circumstance was chiefly remarkable from the fact that
the tenant whose interest had been evicted was of a better
class than those who ordinarily are the victims to a similar
process, and it strongly exemplifies the deep-rooted antipathy
which exists throughout Ireland to any interference with the
soil by driving cut the present occupant, when a number of the
people can be found readily to undertake an organised re-
sistance to the execution of a legal process attempted by the
sub-sheriff in person, backed by a strong force of military
and police, and to persevere in that resistance, although
requested to abandon it by the very persons on whose behalf
it was undertaken, until fatal results had occurred. The
case is strongly illustrative also of some of the evils incident
to the relationship of landlord and tenant in Ireland which
peculiarly attracted the attention of the Commission, at the
head of which was Lord DEVON, and for which we hope to
see ere long a legislative remedy.

Both the principal parties in this case were what is termed
in Ireland " middlemen"—that 13, perzons who take large tracts

of land for the purpose of dividing and underletting them.
They become answerable for the entire rent to the head land..
lords, who frequently are glad to have to deal only with one
responsible person, and they extort a large profit from the wants
and necessities of the occupiers, who are frequently subjected to
the utmost degree of oppression and misery in consequence.
The system has entailed upon the country the most injurious
consequences, and it has ever been the greatest source of
difficulty to persons who have devoted their consideration to
the improvements necessary to place the occupation of land
in Ireland upon a safe and wholesome footing. Mr. ATKLNS,
, the ejecting landlord himself, held a large tract of land from
the proprietor in fee, at a rent very nearly, if not entirely the
. value. About twelve years since he sublet the farm in ques-
, tion, which contained about 70 acres, to Mr. MAUNSELL,
. the person recently evicted, at the yearly rent of 21.125. 41/2d.
par acre. On the farm so obtained it appears that Mr.
MausisELL expended his entire capital, amounting to 1,5001. or
thereabouts, in erecting a good and substantial dwelling-house
and out-offices, and in other permanent improvements, so as to
render the farm one of the most perfect in every department,
and most desirable throughout the county. In this country,
before a farm is let, it is generally placed in good condition,
with suitable buildings and offices, and in fact everything
necessary for the proper cultivation of the land. In Ireland,
however, this is seldom the case ; the person about to enter upon
the possession of premises, is frequently obliged to devote
the greater portion of his available capital to repairs and
improvements necessary for the beneficial occupation of the
land. He also generally receives it in a worn-out and ex-
hausted condition, so that much time and expense is neces-
sary to bring it into good order. From these causes, the
capital which would be necessary for the sufficient stocking
and cultivation of the farm, is, in many instances,
expended, and the tenant becomes unable to manage
the entire land, and he again becomes a middleman,
subdividing and subletting the farm, the whole of
which was intended to have been occupied by
himself. Such appears to have been the case in the present
instance ; for Mr. Mau:ultra, had no less than fourteen un-
dertenants to whom he had let portions of the land. Un-
fortunately he did not retain a sufficient sum in hand to
defray the losses incident to a failure of crops, and he con-
sequently got into arrear of rent. His landlord, being
himself a middleman, could not afford to make
any allowance for the expenditure which had
taken place, and by which undoubtedly the value of the
holding was much increased. He was proceeded against by
ejectment, the most objectionable by far of the remedies
given to the landlords for the recovery of rent, and which
should never be resorted to under any circumstances until
there is a failure of every other means of obtaining payment.
The unfortunate tenant who, by being deprived of the land
on which he had expended his all, would, with
his wife and children, be reduced to a state of
beggary, attempted to negotiate for a sum of money
to be paid to him as some compensation for the
improved value of the farm ; this was absolutely refused,
probably from the circumstance of his immediate landlord
being himself a middleman, who could obtain no allowance
himself therefore, and the result was that he was so ill-advised,
so mad, as to attempt a resistance to the law, and to barricade
the house, and to place a number of persons in it in order to
maintain forcible possession. Such an act on his part cannot
be sufficiently reprobated : he was in such a position as to be
well aware of its inutility, of the impossibility of its suecess ; he
was however driven to desperation at the idea of the misery-and
destitution be saw before him, and by these means attempted
to extort from the fears of his landlord that which he found
it vain to hope for from his justice. Such appears the correct
view of the unfortunate transaction.

Had the recommendation so strongly urged by Lord
DEVON'S Commission been carried into execution, and a power
given for the registration of such improvements on the lands,
and a provision made that if the tenant should be ejected, or his
rent raised within thirty years, the landlord should be bound
to pay such a sum not exceeding the maximum fixed as the
work should then be valued at, we should have been spared
this painful and melancholy case; further indulgence would
probably have been accorded to the unfortunate tenant, or, if
removed from his holding, he would have had to receive a
sum which might enable him to exist until he could turn
his attention to some other means of livelihood; but such
unfortunately is not the case, and although the report of the
Commission to which we have alluded has been
published since the month of February, 1845, and the whole of
one session and more than half of another has since elapsed,
we are still without any legislative measure having been
even introduced for the :purpose of carrying such recommen-
dations into effect. We trust that this may be remedied,
and that no such apathy may be persevered in. Every
similar case to that of which we have just spoken chides the

delay, and trumpet-tongued demands an immediate enact-
ment. We can make every allowance for the great attention
necessarily devoted by the Government to the vast and im-
portant measures of commercial reform introduced within the
present session, but these have now practically been carried,
and no excuse can be found if measures of such vital im-
portance to the peace and tranquillity of Ireland should be
longer delayed.

The Augsburgli Gazette mentions a report that the Aus-
trian Government intends to form a military railroad be-
tween Augsburgh and LTlm, so that, in case of any threatened
invasion, Ulm may be immediately supplied with troops.
The same journal, under the date Vienna, 16th May, states,
that the Emperor of AUSTRIA had ordered a rigorous inves-
tigation to be made into the complaints made by M. DE
BOGUSZ of the atrocities committed on his family and pro-
perty by the peasantry during the late outbreak in Austrian
Galicia. SzELA, the peasant chief has, it is said, voluntarily
appeared to answer the accusation.

A letter from Cracow of the 13th, in the Cologne Gazette,
says :—" Warrants for arrest continue to be issued. The
prisons are guarded with the utmost rigour. At first the
relations of the prisoners were permitted to visit and bring
them their meals, but now this is prevented. One of the
prisoners, M. MORGENBESSER, a German ofgood family, who
had been employed at the coal mines of Zaworzno, and was
under a very heavy accusation, is said to have made his
escape while being taken before the examining magistrate to
be interrogated. Forty-two prisoners, all from Kosel, have
been given up to the Russian authorities, but their fate is
unknown. The Austrians have evacuated the fortress, and
taken possession of several private houses, expelling the in-
habitants. A great mortality prevails among the soldiers,
thirteen of whom died last night."
"The late events in Galicia," says the same journal, "will
not be without some influence on the relations between the
lords of the soil and their peasantry in the Danubian prin-
cipalities. By a Government decree of April 23, seignioral
rights in Wallachia are to be submitted to revision, and all
contracts are to be signed by the village ancients, as well as
by the contracting parties individually."
The latest intelligence that has been received from Cracow
is of the 15th inst. A letter of that date announces that,
according to a supplementary convention, entered into be-
tween the three protecting Powers, Austrian troops alone
are to garrison Cracow, and, in consequence of the
distressed condition of the republic, the expense of the occu-
pation is to be defrayed by Austria. The constitution of
Cracow, the Senate, and its President, are to be suppressed,
and the Government is to consist hereafter of a Directory,
formed of three persons. It will be recollected that the three
peasants who arrested PANTALEON POTOCKI, near Siedlic,
and delivered him up to the authorities, were decorated for
that service with the medal of the order of Merit by Prince
PASKIEWITCH. They were recently all three found hanging
by the neck to trees in a forest near Siedlic.
In the Second Chamber of the Saxon Legislature the de-
bate on the report of the Committee respecting the riots at
Leipsic was resumed on the 18th. The report, which was
favourable to the Government, was rejected by a majority of
one, the numbers being respectively 36 and 37.

Accounts from Constantinople of the 7th instant announce,
that the treaty of Commerce between Russia and Turkey,
putting Russia on a footing with the other Powers who have
adhered to the treaty of the 16th of August, was signed on
the 30th of April, at Balta Liman, by M. TITOW, on the part
of Russia, and by BESCHID PAsnw and TAIIIR BEY, on the
part of the Sublime Porte.

middle of the night, he heard a noise at hisrtdtinie
asking who was there, he was told in a disguised and °n his
his presence was required at the house of a patient;
visitors mentioned a name unknown to the doctor, who
replied that he would not attend until the following morning.
They then attempted to burst open the door, but the servants_
of the house having by this time got up-and come to the aid
of their master, the ruffians fled."
It is not the first time that attempts have been
made to assassinate Dr. CLAIRVAZ, whose profession renders
frequent journies among the mountains necessary. Some
time since, in the course of conversation, the
Canon lIVAZ advised him to change his opinions
or he would have cause to repent them. Dr.
Cprnyitz replied to the respectable grate of Arden

that had such a warning proceeded from any one else, he
should have attached no importance to it, while he
did as coming from such a source, but that, never-
theless, he must remain faithful to his convictions.
Dr. Cram'Az, however, ever after, avoided being
out at night, and his assassins, tired of waiting,
have endeavoured to murder him in his own house. The
exertions of the police to detect the culprits have been un-
successful. Perhaps this would not have been the case if the
victims had belonged to the party of the clergy. It is to be
hoped, however, that Canon rtivaz who so charitably
warned Dr. CLAIM"), Z will enlighten the officers of justice

Madrid papers of the 17th have been received.

The Tiempo declares that Don LEONCIO RUBLN DE CELIS,
the chief of the late insurrection in Galicia, has; been assas-
sinated in Portugal by his own followers. The report,
however, stands in need of confirmation. The late
editor of the Espectador, Don FRANCISCO LABRADOR,
has been arrested at Cadiz, by order of the poli-
tical chief, and sent to Seville a prisoner. The Grand
Duke CONSTANTINE arrived at Algesiras on the 9th, and
without waiting to land, sailed immediately for Ceuta.
Orders had been sent to VILLALONGA to stay the execution
of the decree of banishment which he had issued against the
Countess MINA. An army of 18,000 men is assembled at
Valladolid, to furnish garrisons for the towns through which
the QUEEN will proceed on her way to the baths of Santa
Aguada.

General NARVAEZ and the Infante Don ENRIQ LTE were both

We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday.
The discussion on the Budget of Expenses still continued
in the Chamber of Deputies. On Friday the discussion com
menced on the Budget of the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Among the credits demanded was one of 60,000 francs for a
Consul at Calcutta. M. L'llicanErra objected to demanding
an exequatur for this Consul from England, because England
had not demanded an exequatur for her Consul at
Algiers, and that it would be impolitic by demanding an
exequatur from the Calcutta Consul, to recognise the
English conquests in India, unless England, by making a
similar demand for her Consul at Algiers, recognised the
French conquests in Africa.

M. GUIZOT, in reply, first proved the necessity of esta-
blishing a Consul at Calcutta by the following statement :
"French commerce with the East Indies is progressivelyon
the increase; thus in 1839, our commerce, including
both imports and exports, which amounted to about
19,000,000, arose in 1844 to 39,000,000 ; our own
special commodities, which were but 18,000,000, rose
to 36,000,000 ; and our ships entering Calcutta
amount, in 1844, to 45. I hold in my hand the
opinions of assurance companies upon the good re-
sults which have been derived from Consuls-General, and
expressing a desire that a Consul-General should be settled
in India, giving to Culcutta the preference. The Minister of
Marine also expresses his regret that our ships did not find
the necessary succour at Calcutta, owing to the want of a
French representative. He thought 60,000 francs the least
that could be allowed a Consul-General living at Calcutta,
and he did not think there need be any apprehension that
on such a salary he could rival the luxury of the officers of
the Indian Company."
On the subject of the exequatur he said—
" England had not yet occasion to ask for an exequatur
for her Consul at Algiers. because no new Consul had been
established in that residency since 1830; but whenever such
a new appointment should be made, either England should
demand an exequatur, or the Consul would not be permitted
to reside at Algiers."

On Saturday the Commission of Peers heard the report of
M. FRANK CARRE in the case of LECONITE. It will be read in
the public sitting of the Court on Tuesday. The trial is
expected to commence on the Bth of June.

Accounts from Algiers of the 17th state that Marshal
BUGEAUD had entered the mountains, and that at his ap-
proach the Kabyles had fled. The Courrier Francais says
that the retirement of Marshal BUGEAUD from the govern-
ment of Algiers has been decided on, and that General SE-
BASTIANI will be his successor. Other accounts state that
the government of Algeria is destined for the Due
D'AIMIALE.

There are eighteen companies who intend to bid for the con-
cession of the Lyons and Avignon Railway. The capital of the
Talabot Company is the highest, amounting to 140,000,000
francs ; that of the Debeaume Company is 120,000,0001.
All the other companies, with the exception of that of Lecointe,
had fixed their capital at 110,000,0001. ; the latter only
demanded 80,000,000 f. The deposit claimed by those
companies was 50 francs per share of 500 francs. The Griolet
and Chastellux Companies required 100 francs. The
amount thus paid into the hands of these companies is esti-
mated at 110,000,000 francs; and when the definitive shares
shall have been distributed, after the fusion, the surplus re-
maining to be reimburse,: to the shareholders will be about
75,000,000 francs.
