SECRETARY (ad interim).
Mr. George Frederick Goodman.
This Company being now completely registered, the Directors
take the earliest opportunity of laying before the Shareholders a
statement of its progress and prospects.
It may be confidently asserted that no Company was ever brought
before the public with equal prospect of spzedy and successful
results.
The prompt assistance afforded by the Shareholders to the Direc-
tors, and the perfect confidence in the management displayed by
them, have enabled the Directors to take such steps as must ensure
an enormous dividend within a few months.
Sir Henry Huntley, the resident Director in California, has been
in that Country five months, and the course adopted by the Directors
for carra ing out this enterprise results from the experience obtained
by him during that period. The instructions given to Sir Henry
Hunt cy were, in eft:et, that he should make every possible inquiry
relative to the state of the country, the tenure of land, the com-
parative merit of the different quartz veins in the several districts
of California, and after mature deliberation to advise the Directors
as to their best course of proceeding, and to take such measures as
would enable them to carry out his views as speedily as possible.
Following these instructions, he has secured fer the benefit of the
Company, sufficient lands for all mining purposes ; but be is clearly
of opinion, that for the present, at least, it is not desirable to under-
take mining operations, but to crush and amalgamate quartz to
be supplied by those who are possassel of mines, and have raised
the quartz. With the assistance of some gentlemen of great
experience in geology and mining matters, he has inspected and
tested a great variety of veins in the Mariposa, Nevada, Grass
Valley, and other districts, and has come to the conclusion,
upon sound reasons, that the vicinity of Grass Valley and
Nevada City, is that which affords the greatest advantages for car-
rying oa our enterprise. Ile has, therefore, entered into an agree-
ment with some American gentlemen, who have formed a company,
and have opened, and, to a considerable extent, worked a vein of
quartz, di,tant about three miles from Grass-Valley and Nevada
City, and about thirty MRCS from Sacramento City, to crush and
amalgamate the quartz to be raised from the mineady e opened
hed
by
them. By means of machinery, he has alra
and amalgamated considerable quantities of the quartz sup•
plied him from this mine; and the r,sult of his operations
has been to satisfy himself that the vein is of a full average
richness, and that the locality oilers many important advantages in
the way of water, fuel, means of transit, &c., &c. He has, there-
fore, entered into a formal agreement with that Company, which, in
a few words, amounts to this: he is to be supplied by them with as
much quartz as his machinery shall be found capable of crushing;
the quartz is to be deposited at the mills free of expense;
he is to crush and amalgamate it at his own expense, and
the g Id produced is to be divided equally between the owners
of the vein and our Company. Formal and legal agreements
for carrying cut the above arran,rement fairly and honestly, and
without any copartnership, have been entered into. Steam-en a
gidaynes
and machinery estimated to crush about thirty tons of quartz ,
with fonds sufficient for putting it in motion, have
somebenlacedn u,
and a
under
the control, of Sir Henry Huntley; and, unless
at workexpec
delay has arisen, the machinery is now actually
return will be made about Christmas next.
For the satisfaction of the existing shareholders of this Company,
and without wishing, in any manner, to deteriorate from the merits
of other Companies, the Directors are desirous of calling
attention
to some of the more prominent advantages possessed by this
pany over others now in tine field. Shareholders in other Companies
must mainly rely upon reports sent over by persons
rimes in
selling the mine ;we rely upon the reports of our own ident
Director and his practical assistants on the spot, whose only
interest is to give us facts. The Directors of other
Companies generally base the estimate of the value of
their mine upon calculations founded on experiments
upon a few pieces of specimen quartz, sent over to this country for
the express purpose of advertising the commodity offered for sale to
the British public ; we found our calculations upon experiments
tried, during several weeks, on quartz raised from the mine, and
crushed and amalgamated by our own Superintendent, and with our
own machinery and apparatus. Other Companies propose to
incur the expense and risk of carrying out mining operations
upon their vein, before the quartz arrives atthen their mill, and, should
their labours prove successful, they must pay out of their
profits large per-centages fer obtaining their leases, and large royal
ties to their lessors ; whereas we have secured as much quartz as
our machinery is capable of crushing, the title to which is as secure
as that of any other company, unfettered by any per-centage or
royalty. The half of the prod expensee paid by this Company to the
parties who supply us, free of , with the quartz, being in fact
merely equivalent to the dividend upon flit at outlay
mill. of capiAll the
tal ex-
pended in raising the quartz, and lodging it
new companies, unlike this, must be a considerable time before
their arrangements and machinery can be ready for carrying out
their schemes—this Company alone is actually at work.
The paid-up capital of the Company will not exceed 20,0001. An
almost certain estimate of the produce of our machinery can be
formed, and, from the calculations made, the Directors confidently
anticipate being able even at the most moderate estimate, to afford
a dividend of 200 per cent., at the least, within the next twelve
months. According to the data furnished to us, the quartz which
wo are now working yields upon an average 4d. per pound, or 11.
17s. 4d. per cwt., or 371. 6s. 80. per ton; and, as we can crush and
amalgamate at least 20 tons per diem, that would amount to
13s, 4d., or 3731. 6s. Bd. per diem as the share of this Company. 7461.
By the peculiar arrangements this- Company has made, based
upon practical experience, the economy in working expenses must
necessarily he such as to render the current outlay most tri fling.
In case circumstances should induce the Directors to alter the
system now adopted, and lead them to undertake mining operations
of their own, arrangements have teen made securing four distinct
sil es, most carefully selected for their eligibility for mining pur-
poses, and Sir Henry Huntley has on the spot Cornish miners who
went out with him; and who have voluntarily retendered him their
services.
The gentlemen who formed the Provisional Committee of this
have added to their number several gentlemen possessing
Company,
the acquaintance and entire confidence of a very large body of
Shareholders in the
torial districts. To add such men to the
Direeto o
.;ry was duo those Shareholders who have in fact estab-
lished and nobly supported this Company. Measures will be taken
for further augmenting the Directory, and a Special General Meet-
ing of the Shareholders will be convened for the middle of January.
In conclusion, the Directors beg to offer
ha their
rec best thanks d
to the
Shareholders for the uniform support they ve an t
pledge themselves that the affairs of thi
with the sole view s Comnany shall be c
foron-
-
ducted with the most rigid economy, and of
warding the interest of the Shareholders.
The Directors beg to call the attention of Shareholders particularly
to the fact that, from tile system adopted by this Company, It
can-
not be affected by the question now agitated between the holders of
leases and Colonel Fremont or his agents. The district selected for
the operations of this Company is far removed from the tract claimed
by Colonel Fremont. The difficulty arising out of the many points
now raised relative to the tenure of land under leases, had
the been long
known to and was maturely considered by those having control
of the affairs of this Company, and was one of the reasons which in-
duced them to pursue for the present the course they have, and not
to incur certain heavy expenses with doubtful resultsof the prudence
The Directors trust that Shareholders will approve
of the course they have adopted.
Prospectuses may be had upon application at the offices of the

rI'IHE DETERMINED ATTACK ON LOUIS
NAPOLEON.—There is no question but that a crisis is now
near at hand, and that one of three important parties will shortly be
settled as dominant in France—the Red Republicans, the Legitima-
tists, or the friends of the present Government. The attacka made
in the Assembly on the Government of Louts Napoleon have been all
but successful, and yet have signally failed ; but the last and worst
attack wasfw,
when the majority sought, by a Bill which has been
sleeping nearly two years, and the Assembly to impeach the
President, the Mstry, whoever else should favour the re-
election of Louis Napoleon. While, however, the French people are
at loggerheads about clothing the Assembly or the Government with
power, we on this side of the Channel are thinking about clothing
ourselves ; and the beat opportunity in the world presents itself, for
the unique stock of Messrs. E. MOSES and SON is more novel,
more extensive, and more elegant than at any former season. Each
m their extensive warehouses are crammed with new and
elegantorning costume, however reduced the quantity may be by night.
Their Winter Clothing supasses everything of the kind to be found in
Europe, and Messrs. E. MOSES and SON are only anxious that rho
public may "gait their diaphay at the Monarch Mart in Aldgatc and
the Minories, or their magnificently fitted-up West-end Branch

At the TENTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of this Society,
held on the 27th day of November, 1851,
BENJAMIN PHILLIPS, Esq., F.R.S., in the Chair,
The following Report was read, showing the progress of the So-
ciety since its establishment :
" The Directors beg to refer the Shareholders to the following
table which shows the speedy increase of the business of the Office:—

4,980 2 8
7,496 0 6
9,163 13 7
10,527 17 2

57,949 18 8

" From this it is found that the business done during the last year
is larger than that of any preceding year, and that 613
effected yielding Annual Premiums to the extent of 10,527/., while
the whole business of the first three years of the Society's existence
was confined to the issue of 535 Policies, yielding 10,9951. in l
Premiums.
" The deaths during the year ending 1150 were much under the
number expected. It was reasonable, therefore, to suppose that in
the following year they would have equalled or even exceeded the
number expected; and it is therefore satisfactory to find that the
number of deaths In the present year, is still somewhat below' that
provided for by the Society's tables.
" It is also a source of much satisfaction to the Directors to be
enabled to state that the peculiar feature which originated with this
Society, and which at the outset constituted its principal claim to
public support—viz., the assurance of
ated unsound lives
the publicstrictly
scientific and sound principles, is fully appreci by
and that the experience of ten years has completely shown the cor-
rectness of the opinion originally expressed, that such business can
be conducted with safety not only to the assured but to the assurers,
The assurance of unsound lives is now very generally practised by
other offices ws well as this, but the principles upon which such busi-
ness is done are by no means uniform. In this office, however, the
premiums are tabulated from doata quite 9.4 accurate as those used
for ordinary lives, whereas in ther offices the premium is fixed
without any accurate tables or data.
" The Directors going out by rotation are Thomas Stevenson,
Esq., F.S.A., and Alfred Waddilove, D.C.L. ; and the Auditors going
out of office by rotation are John Stirling Taylor, Esq., and Joseph
Whitehouse, Esq., all of whom being eligible offer themselves for
re-election.
" The Directors and Auditors retiring from office having been
duly re-elected without opposition, the business of the meeting ter-
minated by the usual vote of thanks being given."

posal, and every other information, will be forwarded, postage free,

This work contains a plain and complete description ef the ana-
tomy and physiology of the reproductive organs, and of their relative
conditions in health and disease. Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the
highest medical honours, as evidenced by the diplomas and testimo-
nials inserted in the work, is the only legally qualified medical man
whe has exclusively, and for many years, devoted his studies to the
treatment of these complaints. He may be consulted with advan-
tage by all those whose constitutions may have become debilitated
through secret practices acquired in youth, or by the excesses of
1 ater years, whereby the pleasures of life are marred, the objects of
marriage frustrated, and existence itself rendered a term of unceas-
ing misery and regret.

INAUGURATION OF THE MORAYSHIRE RAILWAY.....
On Saturday last the ceremony of cutting the fira turf of.
the Morayshire Railway, connecting Elgin winh Lossii-
mouth, was performed. At half-past twelve o'clock the de-
rectors proceeded from the Royal Hotel, on foot, to Bareiat-
hills, distant about three-quarters of a mile, where the ce-
remony was to take place. They were accompanied by a
large body of the inhabitants, and reached the spot about
one o'clock. Provost Grant, the secretary, to whom the
public are indebted solely for bringing the undertaking to a
successful issue, addressed the directors and assemblage. He
entered into a short history of the scheme, adverting to the
difficulties which it had to contend with, and the opposition
which had been given to it, which, through the sympathy
of the Elgin people, bad happily been overcome. He then
thanked the assemblage for their countenance, and compli-
mented the chairman of the directors, Mr. Manson, for the
energetic assistance they had given the undertaking. The
first sod of the line was then dug and turned with appropriate
accompanying ceremonies; and the directors of the company,
with several others interested in the railway, afterwards dined
together at the Royal Hotel.

SALFORD AND MANCHESTER
EDUCATIONAL SCHEME.
DEPUTATION TO LORD J. RUSSELL.
Yesterday a deputation from the committee of the
Manchester and Salford Borough Education Bill waited
by appointment upon Lord John Russell, in Downing-
street, for the purpose of submitting to his Lordship a
draft of thnßill which they intend to introduce into Par-
liament in the ensuing session, accompanied by viva voce
explanations of the general features of the scheme. The
deputation consisted of Messrs. Wm. Entwisle (chair-
man), Samuel Fletcher (vice-chairman), Oliver Hey-
wood (treasurer), John Peel (hon. secretary), the Rev.
Canon Clifton, and the Rev. George Osborne (Wesleyan
minister). The deputation having been introduced to
the Noble Premier,
Mr. ENTWISLE said—We wait, as a deputation, on
your Lordship, from Manchester, as to the state of
education there; and we were desirous that gentlemen
of all religious denominations should attend here;
but I regret that some of the members ap-
pointed have not been able to attend. It ap-
peared to several gentlemen in Lancashire proper to
make an effort to come to your Lordship to propose a
system which should embrace persons of all religious
persuasions. In consequence, a numerous meeting was
held in December last for the purpose of promoting that
object, and a committee was formed in consequence, and
the committee, after several meetings, came to the reso-
lution that a Bill should be prepared, to be submitted to
the Government. That Bill would not interfere with
the existing schools receiving a share of the educational
grant; but they propose that where schools are estab-
lished not now receiving a share of the Government
grant, they should receive a share of the grant, if they
were willing to do so, on the condition that they should
be subject to the Government inspector, and t.: t a cer-
tain contribution of the new rate proposed
to belevied on the inhabitants should be • w
schools. They proposed further to prpvids, for
new schools, and that a portion of the' Go-
vernment grant should be given to them, what-
ever their religious persuasion should be. They
were already in possession of a large amount
for schools for Sunday scholars; but there is a con-
aiderable number falling off in the attendance, and there
is consequently a very large vacant space, which we
consider sufficient in point of space for the day schools,
and therefore very little additional school-room would be
necessary. Most of the schools would be built by vo-
luntary subscriptions; but in the poorer districts they
wished for Government aid, and proposed to do so by
the Bill which they desired to be submitted to the Le-
gislature. They desired to leave the management of the
schools in the management of district committees, where
it was necessary to make a rate for their support. In
the Bill it was provided that there should be no creeds
or formularies insisted upon. The Hon. Gentleman
then entered into a lengthened detail of the clauses of the
Bill. In the two boroughs they had an absolute ma-
jority of the whole of the ratepayers in favour of the
Bill, and the feeling of the towns of Manchester and Sal-
ford were with them; and they hoped they would, when
they came before Parliament, receive the support of the
Government.
Mr. SAMUEL FLETCHER said that, as a Dissenter, he
hailed with great satisfaction the measure which his col-
league had just sketched to his Lordship. He remarked
upon the improved feeling which now subsisted between
the Churchmen and Dissenters of Salford and Manches-
ter, and pointed to this Bill as an evidence of their sin-
cere desire for friendly co-operation.
Lord Joule RUSSELL asked whether, supposing there
was a deficiency of public schools in any district, it was
not intended that the new schools to be opened from
the rate should be free schools, without any payment?
The Rev. Canon CLIFTON replied that they would;
but it was only on the failure of voluntary contributions
that the rate would be brought in to the aid of the build-
ing of new schools. The Rev. Canon then declared his
belief that, notwithstanding the fault which had been
found with this scheme, be was not compromising, but,
on the contrary, upholding his principle as a Churchman,
in giving it his best support.
Lord J. RUSSELL then said—With regard to the prin-
ciple of having a rate for the purpose of education, I
think that that rate would be a very useful and advan-
tageous thing, provided you could successfully surmount
the difficulty in the way of all payers of the rate, who
are the inhabitants generally, being admitted to the
benefit to be derived from the payment of that rate; so
that no person should be excluded on account of their
religious convictions from participating in the advan-
tage, if they choose to take it, of the rate they pay.
Whether you have successfully overcome that difficulty
depends, first, on the provisions of your Bill, and next,
on the feelings which prevail in Manchester; and there-
fore I do not feel myself now quite competent to give
any definite opinion cn that point. But I should like
to ask a few questions. With regard to the Minutes of
council, it is quite clear they make provision fur persons
of all religions denominations, and therefore, as long as
you are supporting schools already so recognised, I
think your course will be easy. But with regard to
new schools, by providing that no distinctive creed or
catechism shall be taught, you remove, I think, any diffi•
culties that Protestant Dissenters might have to sup-
porting such a system. But then come the Roman Ca-
tholic Dissenters, who object not only to any creed or
catechism, but to the reading of any lessons from the
authorised version of the Holy Scriptures, and I should
like to know how you would meet that objection.
Mr. ENTWISLE admitted that the stipulation as to the
rending of the authorised version of the Scriptures in
the case of the new sohools to be built to supply any de-
ficiency was considered to exclude the children of
Roman Catholics, and had already been made a ground
of complaint. There might appear to be an inequality
here, but then it was only the inequality in appearance,
because it was perfectly well known to the Roman Ca-
tholics that, by admitting their schools, now admissible
under the minutes of Privy Council, to the benefits of
the educational rate, they would practically derive a
larger share of the rate than probably any other religious
body in Manchester. His Lordship was aware that if
the words " Holy Scriptures" were merely expressed in
the Bill, they would not obviate the difficulty, because
they would be legally taken to mean the authorised ver-
sion. [Lord John Russell nodded assent.] Several
Roman Catholic clergymen had at first acted on their
committee, and they went along with them up to a cer-
tain point, and then they seceded. It had been put to
them whether they would allow the Douay version to be
introduced; they said they would not be bound to that
any more than to any other; and therefore the com-
mittee found the only possible terms of giving any reli-
gious instruction in the new schools must be such as the
Roman Catholics refused.
Lord J. RUSSELL said ho undestood that any new
schools hereafter re built by any religious denomination
whatever, and which came under;the Minutes of Council,
would be embraced in the proposed scheme.
Mr. ENTWISLE said that any extension of the existing
schools, under the minutes of council, and subject to the
same regulations, would be, ipso facto, included in the
Bill. Then, with regard to the Jew schools, the pro-
moters had no desire to exclude the Jewish persuasion;
but as their case was already under the consideration of
the Government, the difficulty would bo solved for them
by the Legislature itself.
The Rev, Canon CLIFTON said he understood that the
Jew schools were visited by the Governmeut inspectors,
which was some sort of recognition of them, and there-
fore they might on that ground oome under the provi-
sions of this scheme.
Sir G. GREY (who entered the room during the dis-
cussion) said ho was not aware that the sohools of the
Jewish persuasion had been inspected by the Govern-
ment inspectors.
The Rev. Canon CLIFTON said their names had been
published along with the.other schools which had baen
inspected.
Sir G. GREY said that some schools invited inspec-
tion, but that did not amount to their recognition.
Lord J. RUSSELL then said—l am much obliged to
you, gentlemen, for the information you have given ns.
Ido not know if there is any particular question that
you wish to ask me; but I shall consider the Bill which
you have submitted, and then communicate with you.
Mr. ENTWISLE said they had no question to ask; but
their only object was to be enabled to introduce their
Bill in the manner most accordant with the views of the
Government, and so as to be most likely to ensure for it
the sanction of Parliament. They were fully prepared
to carry on the contest in Manchester and Salford; but
they thought it necessary to lay the subject before his
Lordship, in order that, before the session had arrived,
their Bill might be fairly deposited; because
they were anxious to avoid any formal or
technical difficulties which might, without their being
aware of it, bo likely to turn the Government and the
Legislature against their measure; and therefore they
thought they might fairly ask the consideration of the
Government to bo so shown to them as that they might
be warned of any such rock on which they were likely
to split. Mr. Entwisle then explained that there was a
counter-scheme supported by the National Public School
Association, which was advocated by Mr. Cobden and
others, and stated that many of its adherents were not
hostile to the Manchester and Salford scheme, but on the
contrary wished it well; yet they had given• up in des-
pair all attempts at combining all parties in any compre-
hensive plan embracing religious instruction.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL then said—lf I understand, the
general principles of your Bill are, first, that there
should be a rate for schools ; secondly, that the
management of that rate should be placed in the hands
of persons who derive their power, in fact, from
election by the ratepayers; thirdly, that there
should be religious instruction, and not confined to
secular oduciation only ; and in the fourth place, that, in
conjunction with that principle, every endeavour should
be made to combine persons of all religious persuasions
in the benefits and advantages to ,be derived
.from these
schools. These are principles with which I at least
should be prepared to agree. Whether the difficulty'
which we all see, has been successfully got over, is a
thing which the Government, of course, must consider;
but, so far as the general principles go, I should be quite
prepared to accede to them.
Mr. ENTWISLE thanked his Lordship for his attention
to the deputation, and said they would not detain him
any longer.
Lord J. RUSSELL—WeII, gentlemen, you are engaged
in a very important matter, and I hope you will bo suc-
cessful.
Ur. ENTWISLE—We have every encouragement to

[PRICE SD.

persevere, your Lordship, in the support that we receive
from our fellow- townsmen.
The deputation then withdrew.

SOCIETY OF ANTIQUARIES.
The President, Lord Mahon, was in the chair last
night, and after the election of Mr. E. Phillips, of Whit-
more Park, near Coventry, the principal business was
the reading of a letter from Lord Londesborough, giving
an interesting account of the opening and examination
of various barrows and tumuli near Driffield, Yorkshire.
As usual, skeletons in crouching positions wore found,
but only in one or two instances accompanied by any
objects of curiosity. One of these was a stone spear-
head, and another a singular drinking cup. It may be
doubted whether the latter was of the Celtic period, be-
cause the body with which it was interred was enve-
loped in linen. In one place a tumulus was explored
containing the remains of no fewer than ten or eleven
skeletons; but if anything had been buried with them
it had disappeared, excepting an armlet of
bone, fastened by two brorze pins, the heads
of which were of gold. The traces of cremation were
evident as regards bodies of the Roman period and subse-
quently. Mr. Caustic sent some brief remarks upon horn
books, which, in truth, aro mere common, and of a more
recent date, than many persons imagined. Several spe-
cimens of the time of Queen Anne are known, and very
old people can recollect them in use in remote rural dis
trim, such as some parts of Dorsetshire and Devonshire.
Mr. E. B. Price forwarded to the secretary an account of
two antique gravestones of an abbot, and of a merchant
of the name of Legge, belonging to the 15th century,
and found in one of our old London churches. Mr.
Wright produced a very remarkable manuscript, viz , the
original diary of Patrick Ruthven, who was concerned in
the Gowrie conspiracy, and who was living in London,
and practising in the double capacity of physician and
astrologer, at the end of the reign of James 1. Only one
or two extracts were read from it, and those not of much
interest, the main purpose being to identify the book as
the property of Ruthven. Mr. R. CLle exhibited a
money-changer's box, with scales and weighti, of the
time of James I. or Charles I.

MURDER 1N SOMERSETSHIRE.
BATH, DEC. 4.—The inquest upon the body of the
poor fellow George Bush, brutally murdered near Pris-
ton, Somersetshire, as related in yesterday's Sun, was
opened before lt. Uphill, Esq., coroner for Somersetshire,
yesterday, and, after some formal evidence adjourned
till Thursday next.
Mr. Hughes, the chief of the Bath police, and two of
the inspectors, have been indefatigable in their endea-
vours to trace the murderers, and have apprehended
four persons on suspicion of being concerned in the
crime.

Mr. Simmonds, surgeon, on Wednesday examined the
body of the deceased, when two indentations were dis-
covered on the back part of the head, apparently made
by the forked end of a hammer, but on removing the
scalp there was no fracture of the skull. The wound in
the throat, and which must have caused speedy death,
was jagged, as though several attempts had been made;
and there is no doubt that the murder was committed
with some rough-edged instrument—probably with a
hook used for chopping wood. It seems probable, from
the injury in the head, however, that the murderers
first attempted to accomplish their purpose by other
means, and failing., or being recognised, cut the poor
fellow's throat.

We learn that the deceased lately became possessed of
some property bequeathed to him by his brother. Be
had also 41. or 5/. with him on the day ho was murdered.
George Flower, at whose house the deceased lodged, has
been ill, and unable to work for some time, and depends
upon his weekly pay from a sick club. Ho is also an
out patient of the Bath United Hospital, and was lodg-
ing in this city at the time of the murder. His wile,
however, knew of the money Bush had with him,and from
observations made by her, and other circumstances
which came under the knowledge of the police, they, on
Wednesday night, apprehended her on suspicion, as well
as a man named Jacob Windmill, her son in-law, and his
wife Harriet Windmill, and a man named Stephen Box,
all of whom were said to be at her house together on the
night of the murder.
The four prisoners were this afternoon brought up be-
fore Mr. W. Long (Mayor of Bath), Captain Duff, R.N.
and other county magistrates, at the tffice of the magis-
trates for the Bath division of Somerset. Large crowds
of persons, many being from the neighbouring villages,
where the excitement continues to increase, congregated
outside the office during the proceedings.
