COLONIAL.

SUCAR.—OnIy a limited business has been done in British
Plantation at barely previous rates, and the market has been
heavy. About 300 hhds have been sold. The public sales
have consisted principally of 7,816 bags Mauritius, 4,621
bags Bengal, 63 bags and 381 baskets Java. Barely two-
thirds of the Mauritius found buyers at previous prices, but
under which holders did not seem disposed to realise. Low
to good bright brown brought 38s to 44s 6d; and low soft to
fine yellow, 44s to 51s 6d. Nearly all the Bengal sold, but
in some instances at rather lower prices, viz., at
48s 6d to 55s for very low greyish white, or fine
yellow, to fine white Benares ; low to good brown, 38s to 425;
and go;)d to very fine chrystalised yellow at 52s to 55s per
cwt. The Java was taken in at 54s to 56s for very fine
strong yellow, and 44s 6d to 50s for good brown to good
yellow, being much above the value. The quantity of
British Plantation landed last week at the East and West
India Docks was 633 hhds 54 tierces 55 barrels, and there
were taken for home consumption 1,041 hhds 120 tierces
173 barrels. The stock in the same places is 9,810 hhds
995 tierces 1,479 barrels.

Cor•FEE.-474 bags Ceylon, 169 bags Rio (British Planta-
tion kind), and 648 bags East India sold at 40s for good
ord Ceylon, fine ord to low mid British Plantation kind
ditto 545 to 575, fine ord to mid coloury washed Rio 38s to
46s 6d, and 22s 6d to 23s for good ord brown Sumatra and
crd Padang, being for the latter comparatively very low
prices, whilst the former descriptions brought about previous
rates.

Ilum.—The quantity landed last week at the East and
Nett India Docks was 437 puns le hlids. There were
taken for home consumption 161 puns 14 lihds, and ex-
ported 181 puns 153 Mids. The stock ia the same place is.
10,193 puns 1,892 hhds.
SA LTPETHE.-894 bags Bengal at auction, only a small
portion was disposed of at 26s fur 5 and 4A per cent. re-
fraction, white is the former value.

SincEs.-537 bags Penang Pepper chiefly sold at lid for
good but dusty, which was a shade cheaper.
TALLow.—P. Y. Candle is 42s Gd to 42s 9d per cwt on the
spot for new, 42s to 42s 3d for old. Town is 44s per cwt.
TEA.—There is a steacy demand for consumption.

(From the London New Price Current of September 15.)
SVGA R.—To• day there was a stronger desire manifested
to purchase West India Muscovado Sugar for both the scale
and pan, and merchants were less inclined to realise. The
demand was brisk, and the rates paid were equal to those of
Friday; indeed, in sonic cases the better qualities of yellow
and grey brou:;ht 61 per cwt advance. The market has a
better appearance for Sugar subject to the 14s per cwt duty.
REFINED.—To-day Refined goods were largely dealt in by
the home trade, and prices advanced, brown grocery lumps
fetching 62s to 62s 6d, and standard lumps 63s to 63s Gd per
cwt. Crushed Sugar is little wanted for exportation, and
prices have declined, 33s per cwt being taken for first
quality.
MAurtrrius.—This afternoon some parcels of Mauritius
Sugar were sold privately, and the bright grocery sorts in
some cases fetched stiffer rates.
FOREIGN.—In yellow Havannah for exportation the trans-
actions have been upon a more extended scale, in conse-
quence of merchants lowering their prices 6d to is per cwt;
two floating cargoes were disposed of for Antwerp. Yellow and
brown Havannah were in excellent request by the home trade,
and brought full rates, but the market has been more freely
supplied. At auction 3,343 chests duty paid were all sold
and chiefly to the grocers. All sorts of Brazil have been
sparingly dealt in by private contract by our refiners and
grocers, and the prices accepted show a decline on those
previously current. Porto Rico is little wanted and
can be obtained upon rather lower terms; the
value of common to fine quality is 45s to 51s
per cwt. None has been offered at auction. For Cuba
Muscovado the market has a dull appearance, and prices
are lowering. The limited business transacted in China lias
been at rather low rates. Java has met with little atten-
tion, and must be quoted rather cheaper. The tendency of
prices is still evidently downwards for Foreign Sugar, the
result of both free and slave labour, although the deliveries
are yet on the increase, as stocks are heavy, and far exceed
those of last year, especially of Manilla and Havannah.
Prices of all kinds are, however. lower than they were at
that time.
LAST INDIA.—This afternoon at public sale 3,246 bags
Bengal Sugar were offered ; a stronger desire was shown to
operate, and the whole sold 6d to is per cwt above former
rates.
Mor.ASSES.—To- day several parcels of West India Molasses
were sold at 23s for Antigua, 23s for Dominica, and at 21s
6d for Tobago. Bally Kahl Treacle is fetching 213 to 21s 6d
per cwt.

TEA.—Holders are unwilling to further reduce their prices,
and refrain from offering any at public sale, but the market
has a dull appearance for both black and green, although the
clearances for home consumption amounted to 529,0001b5.
during the past week. The value of low and good common
Congou, cash, is 8d to 91d ; 'Tyson, common, ls 9d to is lld ;
and Twankay, low to fair yellowish leaf, 10d to is Id.
COFFEE.—This afternoon at public sale 301 bags of Bahia
Coffee sold at rather low rates, fine ordinary mixed went at
31s to 325, good ordinary ditto 29s to 30a 6d, ordinary 27s to
28s, sea damaged 24s to 295. 128 barrels 116 bags of Rio
went at full value, middling coloury selling at 50s, low
middling greenish 45s to 465, fine fine ordinary 40s to 43s 6d,
ordinary pale 335, and ;sea damaged 29s to 375. Of Ceylon
none was offered at auction, and privately little business was
done ; there are sellers of good ordinary pale at 40s per cwt.
SracEs.—Nutmegs have been in excellent request, and
previous advanced rates are sustained. Mace is still
attracting attention; and prices are rising. The better
qualities of Cloves are wanted, and previous im-
proved rates are fully snstained. For Eastern Pepper
former prices are sustained, and a fair business has been
transacted. Malabar is little wanted, still holders at present
will not further lower their prices. White has met with
more attention, but holders accept former low rates. Pimento
is less plentiful, and being wanted, prices rule firm.
Fine Jamaica Ginger has maintained the former value. East
India and African are little wanted, and pricei are drooping.
Cassia Lignea is • firm in price, and a fair demand. In the
better kinds of Cinnamon several purchases have been made,
and the rates paid are rather above those of the last quarterly'
sales.
Fnulr..7-This afternoon at public sale 350 drums of New
Turkey Figs went at 80s, 200 drums of New Sultana Raisins
at 80s, 854 boxes 65 I-boxes of New Muscatel Raisins in
layers sold at 563 to 648,400 11,-boxes, and 400 *-do. Musca-
tel Raisins sold at 46s to 525, 63 boxesof old Jordan Almonds
taken in at 7/.
Stanns.—Holders of Jamaica Rum evince firmness in con-
sequence of the ships arriving bringing light cargoes, they
insist upon previous rates for all descriptions, and supply the
markets sparingly. To-day Demerara and Jamaica Rum
sustained the former value, but for other sorts lower rates
taken, proof Leeward selling at 2s 4d, and Calcutta at is
10d to Is 101/4 proof with certificate.
Sauri,rrne..—To-day the better qualities of Rough were
sparingly dealt in, and 1,268 bags of Calcutta at public sale
only in part sold at barely former rates.
COCHINEAL.—This afternoon the quantity offered at public
sale amounted 287 bags of Honduras, and nearly the
whole sold at full rates, black brought 5s 10d to 6s 9d, and
silvers 4s 8d to 5s 8d per lb.
Ons.—A further advance has taken place in the value of
Cocoa Nut, and large purchases have been made privately,
chiefly by the home trade : indeed the market has been nearly
cleared. Palm has been in extensive request, and prices have
risen. Rape Seed Oil cannot be had upon lower terms, but
there has only been a limited business done, the market better
supplied. Olive has been extensively dealt in, holders evince
much firmness, and obtained 411 to 421 for Gallipoli, 39/
to 401 for Spanish and Sicily, and 38/ to 39/ for Barbary,
Leyant and Portugal ; indeed tome parties will not accept

these rates, as the stock is not so large as it was; co
Lion going on satisfactorily, and the prospect of the arrivals
being much less than they were during last season. In Lin"
seed Oil large purchases have been made by the home tra4;
and several parcels were taken for exportation. For Seal 1/.1

the market span;gly, a fairamount of business has been trV,?,,
acted. There has be, n but little desire to operate in Cod• vv.":
bon&
Sperm the market is well supplied, and the demand
limited, prices are lowering. For Linseed, Olive, C°V,I,
Nut, and Palm prices are above those of last season, but
Rape Oil they are lower, as is the case with respect to all
Fish Oils.
Tautow.—The home "trade are still inclined to hicrease
their stocks with all descriptions, as the consumption is
or
the increase, arrivals continuing to be deficient of /list Y eail
and prices ruling moderate. Holders have confidence, aei,
supplied the market sparingly; although several Parr,!.
have come in since this day week. There has been a 111.;,
business tranacted in Russian on the spot, at stiffer r14;`,79
fine new P. Y. Candle bringing 42s 6:1 to 42s 9d, and old 4be.
to 42s 3d. For forward delivery a good deal has been dtriet
The demand has been active for home made, but the market
still well supplied. All other kinds of Tallow have
with attention, and brought previous improved rates.

EXAMPLES.

BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE
ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE.
SOUTHAMPTON, CUESDAY EVENING.—To-day, the
excitement caused by the visit of Prince Albert has
passed away, the town has resumed its wonted appear-
ance, and the proceedings of the sections have observed
their usual course, without the disturbance caused by
the arrangements hr "amusing his Royal Highness,"
as the president of one of the sections observed, when a
popular abstract oft paper had been read, instead of the
paper itself. Nothiig is said of another visit from the
Prince, arid the greet gun of the meeting, the gun cotton
of Professor SchoenLein, will be fired off to-night with-
out the presence of the royal patron. In the hurry to
save the railway trail last eyeing it was impossible to
do more than give the results of Mr. Scott Russell's ex-
periments on the resatance of railway trains at different
velocities. I now retirn to that and to one or two other
subjects which there Ras no time to notice in yesterday's
proceedings.
RESISTANCE TO RAILWAY TRAINS.—The result of
Mr. Scott Russell's experiments ure so remarkable, and
so opposed to all previous notions on the subject, that
their accuracy may not unreasonably be questioned ;
and during the discussion that ensued, when he was
required to detail the mode by which the re-
sults were attained, there seemed some reason to sup.
pose that the resistances noted were caused under dif-
fering circumstances, so that the actual varying resistances
by different velocities alone were not correctly given.
Some of the results were taken from experiments made
at different times and under various conditions, and as
most of the new experiments were made on actual work-
ing trains, it may well be supposed that a difference
would arise. Nevertheless, it is very remarkable, that
under any circumstances of the experiment the resit.slice ab a. vomit.), us .30 atiUllla DC less than
at a velocity of 31; and still further strange is it, that
whilst between a speed of 32 and of 33 miles an hour
there is no difference its the resistance, that there should
be between the velocities of 46 and 47 miles an hour, an
increase of resistance from 23.11b5. to 33.71b5., and be-
tween .50 and 51 miles a diminution of from 32.91b5. to
26.41b5. per ton; whilst between the velocity of 51 miles
an hour, and of 53 there should be an increase from
26.41bs to 41.71b5. In the formula which corresponds to-
lerably closely with the results of experiment, Mr. Scott
Russell estimated the friction at a constant quantity cl
about 61bs the ton; the next element iu the resistance was

J. M. subjoins Mr. L's letter to his late Patrons, with many thanks
for the liberal support he has already received from them
" I. Ibbotson avails himself of this opportunity to return his sincere
thanks for the long-continued kind patronage he has received, and at
the same time begs leave to say, that if it should please his patrons
to confer the same on Mr. Markwell, of Long's Hotel, Bond-street,
where he is convinced every attention will be shown, it would add
to the many favours hitherto conferred upon him.

he atmosphere, and this he estimated by multiplying
,he area by the pressure and by the square of the velo-
city. The residue consisted of the various other causes
of obstruction which tended to impede the progress of
the train and occasion loss of power. One of these
causes was the concussion of the earth by the moving
train; for it was impossible the surface of the earth could
be continually agitated by the passing trains without a
great loss of power. Mr. Scott Russell offered no expla-
nation of the causes that could produce such extraordi-
nary results as his experiments exhibited. In the dis-
cussion that followed, Dr. Robinson stated, in reference
to the agitation caused by railway trains, that in his
astronomical observations he:had perceived the surface of
the mercury agitated at a distance upwards of 7,000 feet
from a moving train, and as the concussion would be ex-
tended both ways, it would amount to an agitation of
the earth over au area of the diameter of 1,500 feet.
GEOLOGICAL STRUCTURE OF AUSTRALIA.—Among
the papers read at the geological section yesterday was
one by Mr. Jukes, giving a sketch of the geology of
Australia. A portion of the sketch was of course only
conjectural, but observing that a chain of hills passed
from New South \Vales in a direction nearly parallel
to the eastern coast, consisting of granite and other pri-
mary rocks, and that the order of stratification was the
same as in Europe, he concluded that the great level
tertiary formations on the opposite coast were in the
same order of succession, and that the geological axis of
that country lies in the chain of hills from New South
Wales, and that there is no greatly elevated districts in
the interior.
EVENING LECTURE.—Yesterday evening Mr Lyell de-
livered a discourse in the Assembly Rooms, " On the
Valley and Delta of the Mississippi, and other points in
the geology of the United States, from observations
made in the years 1845-46." The lecture was illustra-
ted by gigantic diagrams, exhibiting the principal rocks
and strata, and their dispositions, in the United States.
There, as in this country, the same formations are ob-
served, and following in the same order. It is Mr.
Lyell's opinion that most of the geological formations
were produced by the gradual though slow operations of
time, and in the valley of the Mississippi he found abun-
dant evidence in support of his views. To the deposi-
tion of the mud and vegetable matter brought down by
the stream of that mighty river he attributed the forma-
tion of the large peninsula of Florida ; and the appear-
ance of the banks of the Mississippi, with parts of the
trunks of trees growing over each other at all levels,
formed, he thought, the elements of future coal fields.
The room was very well attended, and' the lecture was
received with much applause.
ELECTRO-PHYSIOLOGY.—This morning M. Matteuci
made a communication in French in the physical section,
containing the summary of his researches in electro-
physiology. He attributes muscular contraction to elec-
trical force, and he contended, that by the forms of the
muscles and of the nerves, they were calculated to form
voltaic batteries, and to become in the positive and nega-
tive states of electricity. The communication was re-
plete with interesting speculations and demonstrations ;
but, as Professor Owen observed, they required to be
read and considered before they could be perfectly un-
derstood. Sir J. Herschel said the cause of muscular
force had been hitherto not satisfactorily explained, and
he made a few suppositions, merely with a view of in-
viting discussion, to the effect that it was possible that
muscular contraction might be caused by the altered
position of the muscles of muscular fibrine, supposing
them to continuous be ellipsoids, and that the changes of
position might be produced by electrical currents. Mr.
Carpenter maintained, on the contrary, that muscular con-
traction is not due to nervous influence in many cases,
and he felt confident that, muscular fibrine is composed
of tubes divided into sections longer than their dia-
meters. The contraction of these fibres, he said, was
produced, not by reversing their positions, as conjec-
tured by Sir John Herschel, but by the depression of
the loniitude of sectional divisions.
Another communication On a similar subject was made
by Dr. Joseph Buller, in which, however, without refer-
ence to the action of electricity, he described the develop-
ment of a bird from the egg,
The proceedings in this section were considerably

joiningto the general dinner, which

INFLUENCE OF SPONGY FLATINA.—The Rev. Dr.
Robinson read a paper in the chemical section," On the
Influence exerted by finely-divided Platina on the Elec-
trodes of a Voltameter." Though the communication
occupied a lorg time, the principal point which Dr.
Robinson's experiments were calculated to show was,
that when the electrodes of a voltameter are covered with
a finely-comminuted platina, the decomposition of water
is effected not only by a less powerful current of electri-
city, but when, in fact, there is apparently no active
current whatever. He thought this effect analogous to
other instances in which the inherent forces or attrac-
tions of bodies are increased by bringing them into closer
contact, by extending their surfaces.
Mr. GRCVE agreed with Dr. Robinson as to the cause
of the increased eficet, and in commenting on the subject
he alluded to the peculiar fact, that ebullition in no cir-
cumstances seems to take place excepting from the sur-
fan of solid bodies. The bubbles of air in a glass of
Champagne, for example, always rise from the bottom
or sides of the glass, and the steam of boiling water
always collects in bubbles against the solid surface,
and never rises from amongst the particles of the liquid.
He was of opinion that, supposing it possible to heat
water without contact with a solid surface, fluid would
not boil till the whole mass burst into ebullition at once.
TOLE TUBULAR BRIDGE/L-In the mechanical section
to-day Mr. Fairbairn read the whole paper, of which an
abstract only had been given yesterday, respecting the
proposed construction of tubular bridges over the river
Conway and the Menai Straits. The discussion that
took place after the reading of the paper was very inte-
resting. The bridge at Menai, which is to be called the
Britannia-bridge, will be supported on four piers, and
the distance between the central piers will be 450 feet.
The weight of the metal is estimated at 1,200 tons, and
it will be constructed of wrought iron. Mr. Eyton sug-
gested that it would be better to strengthen the tube by
inverted iron arches, to protect it from the action of the
wind. Dr. Robinson said that, though the bridge might
be quite strong enough to bear a dead weight, he
thought the engineers .ought to ascertain what was
likely to be the resilient force on the sudden rushing of
the engine on to the bridge. He apprehended also that
the vibrations might be cumulative, and increase as the
train advanced, until they produced a serious effect. At
the same time he trusted to the skill and caution of the
engineers, that they would make the tube sufficiently
strong, and with respect to the calculated action of the
wind at 501bs. to the square loot, he thought they
had exceeded all possible effects of storms by
one-half; for a wind acting with the power of 50ibs.
to the square foot must be moving with the velocity
of 110 miles an hour. During the severest storm

ment nearest the pier would be raised on pontoons at

high tide, and fitted into a rest at the bottom of a groove
in the pier, up which it would be elevated by hydraulic
pressure. The only risk to be feared in fixing the bridge
was a high wind during the raising the first compart-
ment, for when that was fixed the remainder would not
be attended with risk. With respect to the strength of
the bridge to bear a lateral pressure, he said that had
not yet been tried, but it would be efficiently tested on
the model bridge, and the suggestions of Dr. Robinson
respecting sudden impact, and the effect of continued
vibration, should be attended to. The Presieent was
compelled, by /412ortuess of t,tizio, to put au end to the

COURT OF ALDERMEN.
Yesterday the first Court after the holidays was held.
THE LORD MAYOR-CONSERVANCY OF THE UPPER PART

OF THE THAMES.
The report of the Lord Mayor's visit to Oxford, and
his conservancy trip in the western district within his
jurisdiction, was brought up and read.
The following are extracts. We exclude a good deal
of matter descriptive of the exceedingly warm reception
given to his Lordship and the numerous party by which
he was accompanied, at Oxford and other places to which
,she visit was extended. After having described the ele-
•gant hospitality with which Mr. and Mrs. Morrison, of
Baceldon House, entertained his Lordship and party,
the report in substance goes on thus:—
On Friday morning, the 7th of August, the Lord
Mayor was joined at Reading by Thomas Raymond
Barker, Esq., the chairman of the commissioners of the
Thames navigation, and also by the Mayor of Reading,
and embarked on board the state barge soon after eight
o'clock. A lartze number of the inhabitants of the town
were assembled on the banks to witness his Lordship's
departure, and a considerable company were on board a
barge decorated with flags and garlands of flowers,
and attended by a band of music, who accom-
panied the Lard Mayor nearly as far as Henley.
During the progress down the river Mr. Barker ex-
plained to the Lord Mayor the various works for the
improvement of the navigation which had been executed
by the commissioners since Alderman Wilson's view,
and particularly the new bridge and high towing•bridge
just completed above Henley- lt
appears that the Kennet and Avon Canal is now used in
weference to the Thames and Severn Canal, as a more
desirable communication between London and Bristol,
in consequence of the present improved state of the
navigation in the upper districts, and when the import-
ance of trade, by rail and navigation, between the cities
of London and Bristol, and the adjoining counties and
districts, is duly considered, and how essential it is to
the interests of all parties concerned that every facility
should be afforded to retain and, if possible, increase the
same, which can only be done by maintaining the line
in the most efficient state, and by suitable modification
and reduction of tolls where it presses heavily on the
public, it becomes obvious that surveys of a similar
naturkt to -the present, having for -their view those
desirable objects, are requisite and important, as well
as tend to keep up a friendly communication and in-
tercourse between the local commissioners and the
magistrates of the Corporation of London, who, by
virtue of their office, under the authority of Parlia-
ment, are likewise commissioners of the upper districts
of the river Thames as before stated. The Lord Mayor,
as conservator of the river Thames, feels it his duty to
draw the particular attention of the court to the various
Acts of Parliament which have been passed from time to
time for the improvement of the navigation of the rivers
Thames and Isis, and more particularly those of the 11th
Geo. 111., cap. 45, and the 35th Geo. 111., cap. 106,
under the provisions of which the Lord Mayor and
Aldermen of the City of London for the time being are
constituted and appointed Commissioners of the upper
districts from the City of London to the town of Crick-
lade, in the county of Wilts, feeling fully confident that
unless the navigation in those districts is properly at-
tended to, the locks and other works kept in good order
and repair, and suitable reductions made in the tolls and
lock-charge;, it will be impossible for the barge-owners
successfully to compete with the carriage of goods and
merchandise by means of railway, and that consequently
all interests connected with the above portion of this
noble river must be most seriously affected, if not ulti-
mately destroyed. His Lordship cannot refrain from
alluding to the statement of the Chairman of the Com-
missioners as to the necessity of reducing the tolls
on the whole line, and his hope that the private
lockholders would consent to an unanimous scale
of reduced tolls throughout the whole navigation.
The Lord Mayor has now to report that he assured Mr.
Barker that himself and his brethren, the aldermen,
would readily attend the meeting of the commissioners
whenever it was thought their attendance, advice, or
assistance would in any way tend to promote the interest,
or render any benefit to the navigation of the river.
The Lord Mayor feels he cannot conclude this report
without expressing his approbation of the general state
of the w,:rk, both in the upper and the city districts,
and of the improvements now being carried cut for the
further benefit of the navigation ; and he avails himself
of the present opportunity of conveying the assurance
of the commissioners (as expressed by their chairman)
of their satisfaction at visits like the present, which ma-
terially tend to keep up that mutual good understanding
and friendship between all parties connected with the
navigation of the river Thames. The Lord Mayor hav-
ing received from the town-clerk of Oxford a statement
of their proceedings at the coronation of King Charles
the Second, on their claim to attend with the citizens of
London and assist in the King's butlerage upon that
occasion, on which they expressed in high terms the
attention they experienced from the mayor and alder-
men of London, his Lordship annexed this document to
the report.

THE SCHOOLMASTER WANTED.—Six marriages
were solemnised at our parish church on Sunday last,
and, out of the twelve newly-married persons, only one
could write his name. Of the twelve witnesses to the
ceremony not one could write. Thus, of twenty-four
whose signatures should be in, the register, twenty-t] ree
had W aim marbse—Preston, Chronick.

CiIIINEESE METHOD OF BORING.—MT. Vignolles read
a paper in the mechanical section on the Chinese method
of boring, as practised on the Continent, and as appli-
cable to the boring of Artesian Wells, and for the venti-
lation of mines. The Chinese method, which has been
in successful operation for two thousand years, consists
in having a heavy weight, at the bottom of which is
fixed the cutting tool, attached to a long rope, which is
wound round an axle. The weight is drawn up for a
few feet, and then allowed to fall, like the monkey of a
pile-driving engine. By this means the labour and
time required to remove a rigid heavy rod, to withdraw
the rubbish, is greatly saved, and the work proceeds far
more quickly, and at much less cost. Though this
method has been introduced on the Continent very suc-
cessfully, the prejudices of English workmen have pre-
vented its adoption in this country.

day:—

PRICE SD.

to be called, he thought that they would be doing in
three years that which ought to occupy them a quarter
of a century. He thought very highly of the lines, and
that they would pay a remunerating profit to the Man-
chester and Leeds Railway.
The CHAIRMAN said it was not the wish of the direc-
tors to press heavily on any shareholder. They would
not make any call before the end of February or the
beginning of March, and he believed that the amount of
that call would not be more than 21. per share, and he
believed further, that not mere than 21. per share more
would be required throughout the nextyear. The branch
from Huddersfield to Bradford would be a profitable one,
and between Halifax to Bradford there would be consi-
derable traffic.—(Applause.)
Messrs. Briggs and Walker were appointed auditors.
