fully an opportunity of denying the reports in
circulation, thus cunningly endeavouring to do away
with the secrecy of the ballot, by regarding all who
do not declare their votes as having voted against its
friends. It is to be regretted that any of the persons
denounced should have taken the trouble to contra-
dict the statements of the journal, the course should
have been for each individual denounced to have en-
tered a separate prosecution against the gerant.
The Moniteur du Soir says—
" Troops continue to be sent to the frontier. It is
stated that several regiments of infantry in garrison at
Paris have received orders to be in readiness to march
this week for the north."

One of the Paris journals has the following :
"At the beginning of April the following changes in
the cavalry of the garrison of Paris are to take place:—
The 9th Regiment of Dragoons, which formed part of
the army c f the Alps, and acted so energetically in the
affairs of Lyons, is to replace at Paris the 2d Dragoon..,
who have distinguished themselves in all the emeutes
under the command of the brave Colonel do Guyon.
The 2d Chasseurs, who were so energetic at Niort end( r
the orders of M. de Cotte, is to replace at St. Germain
the Ist Cuirassiers, who are to go to Lille. The stl
Hussars are to come from Pontivy to Paris, and the sth
Lancers are to go from Paris to Pontivy, The Ist Lan-
cers are to replace the 4th Dragoons at Versailles."
The Moniteur du Soir says that the PRESIDENT of
the Republic will accompany the GRAND DUKE of
Baden on Friday next to the frontier, and will
afterwards visit the garrisons of the departments of
the east.

A letter from Toulon, of the 14th inst., states that
the French fleet, which was expected in that port,
had received counter-orders, and would remain in the
Bay of Naples to wait the course of events.
There were some fluctuations in the quotations of
Government Stock at the Bourse to-day, but prices

BUENON Al RES BONDS.

---
A meeting of BUCEO3 Ayrean b,,ndholders was held
yeA3rday, at the London Tavern, for the purpose of
con►idrrttag what measures most conducive to ;heir in-
terests should be adopted under the improved condition,
both financial and commercial, of the Argentine Re-
public. There was a very small attendance of bond-
holders.

Mr. TASIEER presided, and adverting to the small
number present, said this particular stock only involved
a million of money, and therefore it could not be expected
that there would be such a large assembly as those held
in respect of the Mexican and Colombian bonds,
which involved eleve❑ or twelve millions. This
was the first meeting which had taken place
of Buenos Ayrean bondholders, and he hoped
the result of their efforts would be to place themselves
in as good a position as the holders of the stock of the
neighbouring states of Chili and Peru, which now paid
their dividends regularly. Tho loan had been nege-
tiatel by the respectable house of Baring and Co., and
it was a matter of surprise that the dividends upon it
had not been paid, for, si ith this particular ex•
ception, Buenos Ayres had been remarkable for
meeting every national engagement. The interest
upon its local debt had been paid with the regularity of
the British Government; and, since 1844, four-fifths of
it hal been redeemed. Forty millions of dollars were
now in the coffers of the Republic, and it only owed
fifteen millions. This was a gra ifying circumstance ;
and, besides, he had been informed that the coun-
try nev‘r presented a more prosperous appear-
ance tban it did just now. The debt upon
thee• bonds had increased 1201. per cent., and hence it
was incumbent upon them to take energetic steps for its
payment; and, looking to the cheering facts which he
had mentioned, ho had still hopes of as satisfactory an
arrangement as that in the case of Chili. The Presi-
dent, in his last message, had alluded to the discovery
of a bed of guano at Pa.agonie, which had yielded
a considerable number of tons, and was likely
to bring a large sum to the Exchequer. At an interview
cf the Spanish American bondholders with Senbor
Moreno, the Minister of the Republic in this country,
that personage stated it might be advisable to present a
memorial for the settlement of their claims, now extend-
ing over twenty. fire 3 ears, and expressed a hope that, as
the commerce and finance of the state had so much im-
proved, they would be able to offer terms much more
favourable than those tendered by other states in a
similar situation.

After some little discussion the letter of the commit-
tea of the Spanish American bondholders was approved
of, and they were requested to continue their best exer-
tions in furtherance of a speedy and satisfactory ar-
rangement of these claims.

Resolutions, tendering thanks to the press for its
advocacy of the claims, and to Mr. D. Robertson for his
appeal to General Rosa?, were proposed and carried.
A vote of thanks was then tendered to the Chairman,
and the meeting separated.

THE ROYAL ARTILLERY.

WOOLWICH, MARCH 18.—The whole of the Royal
Artillery in the garrison, amounting to upwards of
2,000 men, including recruits, assembled at 9 30 A M.
to-day on the guard mounting parade in front of the
south arch of the barracks, the Royal Horse Artillery
and the field batteries dismounted, anti the battalions
in light marching order. Lieutenant-General Sir
Thomas Downman, C. 8., K.CH., Commandant of the
garrison, accompanied by Brigade-Major Bingham
and Captain Tylden, Deputy-Assistant Quartermaster
General, arrived on the parade ground at quarter past
10 o'clock, and the troops having been formed into a
square, the non-commissioned officers and men of
the Royal Regiment of Artillery who had been re-
commended for medals And gratuities, agreeably to

GERMAN Y.

In the sitting of the Second Chamber of Munich on
the 13th the Minister of Finance proposed an income
tax. It is to be imposed at the minimum of an income
of 200 florins. From 200 to 249, the tax will be 30
kreuszers ; from 250 to 299, 45 kreutzers; from 300
to 400 florins, 60 kreutzers. Every income above
this is to pay at the rate of 30 kreutzers for every
additional 100 florins. The highest revenues are to
pay two per cent.
Just as the sitting was about to break ur, the
Minister VON DEBI PFOItDTEN submitted communica-
tions on the protests of Austria, and Bavaria po°ainst
the Parliament at Erfurth, and on the treaty of
February. The Minister stated that the treaty had
this day been commuunicated to the Cabinets of
Vienna and Berlin, and that he had already received
telegraphic intelligence from Vienna of its care
arrival in that city. The treaty would also in a few
days be presented to the Central Commission of
Frankfort ; that so soon as the Governments of
Austria and Prussia should send the replies, the
same would he communicated to the Chambers. It
was expected that the Austrian Cabinet would accede
to the treaty, and that its answer might be expected
in the course of a few days. The Ministerial
President then read the convention and his notes of
the three Governments, by which it was accompanied,
to the Cabinets of Vienna and Berlin. The
Chambers then resolved that these docummts should
be printed.
General RAUCII has returned to Berlin from his
embassy to the Duchies. He has not only been un-
successful in his object, but it even appears that the
negotiations on the question of the Duchies, which a
few days since appeared to take a favourable turn,
have suddenly met with an unexpected check, in con-
sequence of the totally irreconcileable pretensions of
the parties interested.

DOINGS ABOUT BALMORAL.
FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT)

On Friday, the 13,h, the whole of the tenantry in
the neighbourhood of BAlmoral were summoned to
fish for the amusement of her Majesty and Prince
Albert. The kind of fishing adopted was what is in
the country generally termed "pouting," that is, a row
of nets are extended across a part of the stream,
then some twenty or thirty men, each armed
with a spear or pole, get into the river a good
way further up, and drive the fish down to the nets.
Some fine salmon were killed in this manner, and the
Royal party seemed much to enjoy the exciting
scene.

Just as the fishing was about being concluded
Capt. Forbes, of Ashlorne, with forty-two retainers,
in full Highland costume, came up to the party, and
were carried through the river on the backs of the
tenantry. He then proceeded to pay his respects
to the Queen at Balmoral, she having left a short
time before his arrival. Captain Forbes is an en-
thusiastic Highlander, and being such, takes pleasure
in keeping up old Highland customs. One which
perhaps is not generally known may be mentioned :
After he and all his party had been carried over the
stream, he pulled off his brogue, and filling it
with whisky, drank the health of the party who had
carried his men through.
On Saturday a balloon was sent up from the
neighbourhood of the Loch•na-gar Royal Distillery,
for the amusement of the royal children. It ascended
in an easterly direction towards Abergeldie, the seat
of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. Her
Majesty and Prince Albert, with the royal children,
followed it for some distance in their carriage. It
remained in the air about half an hour.

ELEVEN GREENWICH PENSIONERS WITH ONE ARM
V. ELEVEN WITH ONE LEG. —This novel and interesting
mstoh was commenced at the Oval yesterday, when
there was a very large assemblage of spectators gathered
to witness the efforts in the " national pastime" of
twenty-two men who have spent their early days in the
"national warfare" and defence of their country. Other
duties unfortunately prevented the personal attendance
of the writer of these notices—he, by the way, witnessed
the first of these matches, which was played at the Old
Montpelier Ground at Walwortb, in 1808—and therefore
he is now unable to place before your readers the dote is
(;f the fallings down of the" one-legged" when pursuing
a ball in the field, or the awkward or clever manner in
which some of the "one-armed" met the balls which
were bowled at them. It imereover unhappily chances
that the score has been sent to him without any
" he ading," and consequently he cannot state which side
obtained the larger or which side made the smaller
amount. One made 47, the other 79.

DENMA RK AND THE DUCHIES.

A letter from Hamburgh of the 13th says :—We
have this moment received important news from the
theatre of war in Schleswig. Yesterday, the 12th,
all the Holstein army having effected an advanced
movement, made a general attack on all the line of
the army of Denmark. The battle, like that of
Itstedt, was very sanguinary, especially near
Eckernfcerde, which was taken and retaken
by the two armies, and which finally remained in
the power of the Holsteiners, who established
their head quarters there. The town has greatly
suffered ; the Danish men-of-war stationed in the
port fired broadsides ; but, as the Holsteiners were
able to place some large guns on a battery, they
forced the ships to sheer off. The wounded were sent
to Kiel. It has not yet been ascertained whether
the Russian vessels, some of which were sta-
tioned in the port of Eckernfcerde, took part in
the combat. The Danish camp, strongly en-
trenched before Eckenfserde, was taken after
three assaults by the army of Holstein, and was
completely destroyed by means of fire. It is said
that the town of Friederichstadt has also been set fire
to. The fortified intrenchments of the Danes at Dane-
mark have also been carried by the bayonet ; the car-
nage must have been frightful. After these attacks, exe-
cuted with terrible fiercenes-i, the Danish army, as we
are told, was forced to beat in retreat on all the line ;
but as this is the Holstein account, we must wait for
confirmation of its truth." Another letter, dated two
in the afternoon, says—" We learn that, at break of
day the battle recommenced between the two armies
with renewed fury." A telegraphic dispatch of the
same evening says—" General WILMSEN marched on
Missunda, to force the passage of the Schley; in the
plain of Cosel he was attacked and driven back by the
Danes ; be retired to this side of Eckernfcerde. The
Holstein army evacuated Eckernfcerde, and resumed
the position it had occupied the day before."
For some days past, the rumour of a military
intervention on the part of England and Russia has
become more and more credited. These two powers,
in conjuncture with France, are determined to put
an end to this long war. The Courts of Austria
and Prussia, from the fear of compromising them-
selves in the eyes of Germany, where the cause of
the revolution of the two Duchies becomes more
and more popular every day, remain impassible,
watch each other, and nothing indicates their
determination to take either separately or collectively
with their allies any vigorous and decisive measure.

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE
ASSURANCE COMPANY,
8, NEW COVENTRI-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON.
The FOURTEI ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie-
tors of this Company took place on the 2519 instant, at the Head
Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the
report, which is too lengthy for publication :
During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England,
and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for DlM—making
together 7001., which hare been paid. This is far below the expected
mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how
severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last
year.
The number of lives assured between the let of June, 1849, and
the 31st of May, 1650, was more than double the number issued in
the twelve months preceding.
Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.:
of these 121, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s.
klixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,048/., upon which 3201. 3s.
was received by the Company in the shape of premiums.
Since the commencement of the Company to the Ist of June last,
assurair es were effected to the extent of 110,972/. 12s 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. I Is. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,950/. 16s. 61., of which the annual premiums were
741/. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to
iii,9911. 15s. 11d.
Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001,
but 1,183/. lls. 10d. only was advanced.
The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the
last four months they had considerably extended their business on
the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur
do l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for
his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters,

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

A new version of Scriba's Giralda was produced
here last evening ; it is from the pen of Mr. Bourci-
can't, who has made the dialogue most sparkling
and effective. The part of the Miller, the hus-
band of Giralda, was sustained by 'Wright, who
has been admirably fitted by Mr. Bourcicault, and,
as might have been expected whenever be was on
the stage, the house was in a roar. His make-up
was most grotesque. Paul Bedford was very
unctions as the Chamberlain Don Japhet, and Mr.
Boyce made a very fair Don Manuel, while the
Don Philip of Mr. H. Hughes was excellent.
Miss Kathleen Fitzwilliam looked and acted the
miller's pretty wife to the life, never have we seen a
more exquisitely naive piece of acting than the
Giralda of Miss Kathleen Fitzwilliam. She intro-
duced a very pretty canzonet, composed for her by
Mr. Alfred Mellon, and sung it with such exquisite
sweetness as to secure for it an unanimous encore.
The part of the Duchess of Arragon was sustained
by Miss Emma Harding in a manner which cannot
but add greatly to her reputation as an artiste. She
seemed " a queen, aye ! every inch a queen," in the
earlier scenes, in which with majestic dignity she
issues her commands to her vassals, among whom it is
evident she includes her husband ; and in the later
scenes, in which the queen gradually softens into the
woman, her acting was full of pathos. The Duchess
of Arragon of this young lady is one of the best
things she has yet done. The mise en scene was ad-
mirable and the success of the piece was complete.
The house was very well attended.

TURKEY.

The Osservatore Dalmato has advices from Albania
up to the 3d. The Ottoman fleet, which was stationed
at Gomenizza, and expected to proceed to the coast of
Upper Albania, where preparations had been made to
receive it with all due honours, has not advanced
further into the Adriatic, but, on the contrary, left for
Candia. According to the latest accounts from Hez-
govina, the Vizier ALI PACHA RIiVANBEGOVICH,
Pacha of that province, has also been invested with
the Pixhalik of Bosnia. Letters from Stagno Pic-
colo (Dalmatia), of the 24th ult., state that frequent
shocks of earthquake had been felt ever since April
last, without any damage resulting from them; but
that a most terrific shock was felt on the 19th, not
only at Stagno, but throughout the territories of Imo-
tizza and Lissaz. It was accompanied by a loud de-
tonation ; several walls and some houses were ruined
by the shock, and other damage was done in the forests,
&c. On the following days more shocks were felt,
which, however, proved harmless.

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 10th have arrived.
General Narvuez had returned to the capital.
According to the Herald() the negotiations relative
to the concordat between Spain and the holy See
are completely terminated.
The Gazeite publishes a Royal decree establishing
elementary schools of agriculture.
The Duke and Duchess of Montpensier had caused
a funeral service, in memory of King Louis Philippe,
to be celebrated in the cathedral church of Seville on
the 7ch, and another in that of San Lucar on the 9th.
An immense concourse of people attended the two
ceremonies.

The new theatre of Madrid is nearly finished. The
whole of the interior is complete. The estimate of
expenses and receipts has been made out, and as the
salaries of first-rate arttsts, particularly in operas and
ballets, are exorbitant, and as, on the other hand, the
house is rather small, a somewhat mortifying result
has been found—namely, that the daily expenses
being 37,000 reels (3701.) and the receipts, even with
a crowded house, not more than 35,000 (350/.) a
daily deficit of 2,000 reals (201.) will have to be pro-
vided for.

STACK-YARD BURNED.

Early in the afternoon of Sunday last a fire broke
out in the stack-yard, on the farm of Hill of Coutie,
belonging to Charles Playfair, rThq , of Banchory,
while most of the family and servants were at church.
The fire was first noticed by one of the foreman's
children, who ran to its mother, crying there was a
fire in the haystack. She and one of the men were
the only parties on the premises at the time, with the
exception of the children, and they attempted to get
the fire put out, but it soon overpowered them and
spread with fearful rapidity, and in a very short time
the whole stack-yard was enveloped in flames, and
every stack (about fifty large stacks) destroyed. The
alarm soon spread to the neighbouring farms and
Coupar Angus, and a large concourse of people were
attracted to the burning, and rendered every as-
sistance they could. A number of water-barrels had
also been sent for from different farms, and they
kept up a good supply of water, although, owing to
the long drought, there was little, if any, to he got in
the immediate vicinity of the farm. However, by keep-
ing the walls and roof of that Dart of the steading
nearest to the flames covered with cloth constantly
saturated with water, the people succeeded in saving
the whole of the steading. All the grain crop was in
the yard, with the exception of a few loads, and also
all this year's hay, along with a few old stacks. The
crop is said to be insured. It is not yet known how
the fire originated. It may be mentioned that a
woman living in a house a little distance from
the farm, and who was among the first to discover the
first ignited stack, within a few yards of which the
cattle were housed, succeeded in liberating the cattle.
She had not been ten minutes in accomplishing her
praiseworthy purpose in getting the cattle beyond
danger, when she saw on looking behind her the entire
half of the stacks in the yard on fire. The destruc-
tion became complete, not a sheaf of grain being
saved. The amount consumed is as follows :
Wheat, 22 stacks ; barley, 12 ditto ; oats, 12 ditto ;
peas, 2 ditto ; and about 2,000 stones of hay. As we
have already said, it is not known how the fire origi-
nated, although the prevalent belief is that it occurred
with a chill playing about the yard with lucifer-
matchcs.—Perthshire Courier.

Two Lucrative Provincial Post-office Appoint-
ments have recently been filled up, viz., the post-
masterships of Brighton and Winchester, in Hants; the
former has been filled up by the Postmaster-General, and the
latter by the Treasury. A gentleman named Whiting, who
belonged to the General Post-office, and whe rendered impor-
tant assistance to Mr. Rowland Hill in carrying out his mea-
sures for the relief of country post-offices from Sunday la-
bour. has been appointed postmaster of Brighton. A gentle-
man named Parmiter, whose friends are stated to have made
great sacrifices in support of the Whig party in Winchester,
has been appointed postmaster of that town. Some delay
took place in bis appointment in consequence, it is understood,
of his not being of age.
TUB QUEEN STEAM-SHIP.—We regret to learn
that this fine vessel got on the rocks off Inchkeith during a
dense fog on Thursday morning, about three o'clock, while
on her passage to Granton- pier. Captain Campbell and all
hands were keeping an anxious look-out for Inchkeith
light, knowing that they had run their distance, but the
weather was so thick and dark that they could not see the
lights, although close upon the island. The Queen was
going at half-speed when she struck, owing to the dense
thickness, and consequently she struck but slightly. On
satisfying himself that the ship was making but little water,
being injured only i❑ the fore water-tight compartment,
Captain Campbell backed the engines, and proceeded to
Granton• pier, where the passengers and cargo were safely
landed before five o'clock on Thursday morning. We under-
stand the steamer has not sustained much damage, but she
will be on the station again in a few days, having to go on
the patent slip. The passage meanwhile will be taken up by
another of the company's steamers.—Edinburgh Evening
Courant.

A NEW POPULATION ACT POE IRELAND.—There
is a separate Act of Parliament for taking the census in Ire-
land. The census in Great Britain is to be taken, it will be
recollected, on the 31st March, of all persons living in the
house on the preceding night,
and by the Act relating to
Ireland (13 and 14 Victoria, chap. 44) it is directed that the
account shall be taken by the constabulary force, as the
Lord-Lieutenant shall order, with other competent persons,
"on the 31st March and one or more consecutive days."
Some of the clauses are similar to the Population Act for
England. Parties are liable to penalty for giving false
answer or obstructing officers in obtaining information. In
taking the census in Ireland it is expressly declared that in
the instructions to be filled up no reference shall be made to
the religion of any person or persons.

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un-
fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their Invariable con-
sequence., unwisely entertains a fear of ap,,lying to a qualified physi-
cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro-
neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking 'or assistance where
alone it can he procured. Dr. LA'MERT has taken the highest
medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his
practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi-
ence, which has reference almost sololy to the treatment of these
diseases. _

GERMAN Y.

Letters from Cassel, Electoral Hesse, of the 12th,
state that on the previous day M. MULLER, the Com-
missary of Police, had gone to the offices of the
New Gazette with some gendarmes, and had com-
mitted some illegal acts. The publisher of the
paper immediately informed the permanent Com.
mittee of the Assembly, and that body complained
to the public prosecutor. This functionary, after
examining the complaint found that it was well
founded, and caused MULLER to be arrested. The
military authorities had caused notifications respect-
ing the state of siege to be stuck up in several streets,
but most of them were torn down. No proclamations
had been stuck up in the villages near Cassel, which
are occupied by Prussian troops. On the 12th the
Supreme Court, almost unanimously, declared that
the decree of the 4th September on the levying of
the taxes, ought not to be carried into effect. On
the same day the Elector and all the Ministers
took to flight. The town remained perfectly tran-
quil. According to the Correspondent of
Hamburgh the Hanoverian Ministry had re-
solved to send troops to the frontiers of Electoral
Hesse, in compliance with the demand of the Hessian
Government, and the Northern German Gazette
says that five battalions had received orders to march.
The Cologne Gazette announces that N. STRUVE,
First Minister of Hanover, had in the Cabinet Coun-
cil opposed the sending of troops, but that his col-
leagues were of a different opinion, and that the
Diet of Frankfort had ordered the Hanoverian troops
to be sent. The same journal states, on authority of
a letter from Berlin, that the Prussian Government
has taken measures to prevent any foreign interven-
tion in the Electorate.
In the second Chamber of the States of the Grand
Duchy of Hesse Darmstadt, on the 13th, Ai. LECNER
proposed that the taxes should be refused to the Go-
verninent, on the ground that by several decrees
and in many of its acts it had violated the Consti-
tution and the laws, especially with respect to the
alliance of the three Kings, t,he dissolution of the
last Diet, the taking part in the Congress of
Frankfort, and the dismissal of a great many
pi ofessors without judgment. M. MULLER pro-
posed, and the Chamber unanimously voted thanks to
the Permanent Committee of the States of Electoral
Hesse, and to the judicial and administrative autho-
rities of the Electorate, for their resistance to the
illegal and unconstitutional conduct of the Govern-
nient.
The Austrian Observer of Vienna of the 9th ex
presses great indignation at the outrage upon
General HAYNAU in London, and announces that the
Austrian Ambassador at the Court of England has
formally demanded that satisfaction may be given to
his Government by Winging the offenders to trial.

be unsuccessful. _ _ _

Application has been made to the Rev. Dr. Moore
for a summons against the Mormon who assaulted and
tore the coat of the young man above mentioned,
and, by the advice of that gentleman, proceedings will
be commenced against the party in the county court
for the recovery of damages, after which a summons
for an assault will be issued. _ _

The Mormons, on leaving the town on Sunday
evening, at the close of their service, were attacked
by a party of men and boys, and pelted with stones
and mud for some distance down the Pinchbeck-road.

derel it impossible for them to remain to play it out.
ELEVEN GREENWICH PENSIONERS WITH ONE ARM
V. ELEVEN WITH ONE LEG. —This novel and kteresting
m0..t.,:h was commenced at the Oval yesterday, when
there was a very large assemblage of spectators gathered
to witness the efforts in the " national pastime" of
twenty-two mea who have spent their early days in the
national warfare" and tit fence of their country. Other
duties unfortunately prevented the personal attendance
of the writer of these notice,—he, by the way, witnessed
the first of these matches, which was played at the Old
Montpelier Ground at Walworth, in 1808—and.therefore
he is now unable to place before your readers tha detals
cf the fallings down of the" one-legged" when pursuing
a ball in the field, or the awkward or clever manner in
which some of the " one-armed" met the balls which
were bowled at them. It moreover unhappily chances
that the score has been sent to him without any
"In ailing," and consequently ho cannot state which side
obtained the larger or which side made the smaller
amount. One made 47, the other 79.
