The object of this undertaking is to connect the port of Fal-
mouth with the Naval Station at Plymouth, and by the South
Devon and Bristol and Exeter Railways, with Bristol, where the
great lines of railway communication with the Metropolis, and the
North of England now meet, and thus to bring Falmouth, the most
Westernly Port in the Channel, within eleven hours of London,
and fourteen hours of Liverpool and Manchester.

The works of the South Devon Railway from Exeter to Ply
mouth, being now in rapid progress, with a view to completion in
two years, the time has arrived when it becomes essential to bring
forward the plan for a western extension in conjunction with the
Great Western, Bristol and Exeter, Bristol and Gloucester, and
South Devon Railway Companies.

The Provisional Committee having laid the plans and estimates
of construction, and the traffic case in detail, before the Directors
of these Companies, they have agreed to unite in contributing
250.0001. to the capital of this Railway.
The Associated Companies having thus Identified themselves
with this undertaking, the Cornwall Railway Company will have
the advantage, in its operations, of the advice and assistance of
Members of their Boards, and the works will be carried on with
the approbation, and under the supervision, of the experienced and
talented officers of these Companies.

A large proportion of the leading landed Proprietors in the
County, have given assurances of support in Land and Money—a
considerable local connexion has been formed, and a large number
of Shares have been taken up, and no opposition 'or difficulty is
anticipated in obtaining the Act.

The necessary steps have therefore been taken to bring a Bill
before Parliament in the next Session for constructing the Corn-
wall Railway.

From the surveys that have been made by Captain Moorsom,
C.E., it appears that the line would pass through Torpoint, within
three quarters of a mile of St. Germans, touching Liskeard, near
to Bodmin and Lostwithiel, through Par, and St. Austell, by St.
Stephens and Tresillian to Truro. From Truro the course of the
ling would be towards Bissoe and Pollean Cross, to connect with
the great Mining and Western districts of the County, and from
thence by Ponsnooth and Penryn to Falmouth.
The proposed line will pass through.. the richest and most
densely peopled Mining. Commercial, and Agricultural districts of
Cornwall. In the principal parts of these districts, the habits of
the people are peculiarly locomotive. A large 'and constant
passenger traffic already exists of a description which would be
immensely increased by the facilities of Railway communication.
The line will be connected on the north with the Wadebridge
and Bodmin Railway, the Newquay Railway, and the Caradon
Railway, and on the south the Par and Pentewan Railways, and
the Looe and Liskeard Canal, from each of which a considerable
amount of valuable traffic will be brought upon the Cornwall Rail-
way, and the communication nith the ports on the north and south
coast greatly facilitated.

The Eastern mining districts of Cornwall and Devon, around
Caliington, Tavistock, and Liskeard, are much connected with the
central and western Mines of St. Austell, Tywardreath, Gwen.
nap, Redruth, Camborne, and Penzance, and between these popu.
lous and important districts a constant and increasing intercourse
exists.

The completion of the Railway from Penzance, which passing
through the great western mining districts, will join the proposed
line of the Cornwall Railway between Truro and Falmouth, and for
which a Bill is to be brought before Parliament next Session, will
bring a great accession of traffic from those districts.

The Cornwall Railway will not only be in itself important and
of great local advantage, but will in fact be the terminus of a
metropolitan trunk line, and also the terminus of a line from the
great manufacturing districts of the North, so that the carriage
which leaves London in the Evening, will be •t Falmouth in the
Morning, after eleven hours' journey, and the Passengers from
Manchester or Liverpool, may arrive at Falmouth in fourteen hours.
It will also be the westernly link of the great chain of coast lines
now formed, or in progress, from Dover on the east, to Penzance
in the west, and will thus eventually receive the traffic of these
sources, flowing to and from our western possessions.

The well-known advantages and capabilities of the Port of Fal.
mouth and the opinions unequivocally expressed by the Commis-
sioners appointed b} Government in 1840, to inquire into the com-
parative merits of the Ports then suggested by the Mail Packet
Station, " That if a Railroad existed to the South-West Land's.
end, and a harbour were constructed in that neighbourhood, where
the mails might with facility be put on board and landrd, they
would unhesitatingly recommend that harbour to the adoption of
Government," make it evident that the construction of the pro-
posed Railway would render Falmouth the best Port in the kingdom
for the embarkation and landing of the Mails for the West Indies,
the Peninsula, the Mediterranean, and all our transatlantic pos.,
sessions.—That this Port will be largely used by passengers pro.
ceeding by these Packets, and also by passengers arriving from and
departing for our Foreign Possessions in sailing vessels, is evident
from the anxiety always felt by those who have endured a long sea
voyage to reach the shore, and from the desire which most persons
feel to avoid the delays and danger of the Channel navigation.
The reasons which now induce outward-bound Indiamen to call at
Cowes or Portsmouth to embark their passengers, will apply with
greater force to a more Western Port, when a Railioad shall bring
that Port within eleven hours of the Metropolis.

The largely increasing number of vessels, which even under the
present mode of travelling, call, whether for passengers or orders,
at Falmouth, shows that expectations of traffic to a large extent,
may be well founded on these grounds; but in the calculations
now submitted, the Committee have confined themselves to the
usual increase upon the existing trade, which is alone sufficient
to show that this undertaking will prove a highly advantageous
investment.

The estimated expense of the line, including the cost of land,
preliminary and Parliamentary expenses, stations, and working
stock, does not exceed the sum of 900,0004 which is to be
raised by 18,000 sham of SOL each.
The accompanyit g estimate of Traffic, deduced from very care-
ful observation made at twenty three different stations on the
roads, shows the following result, viz :

From Passengers by coaches and other public
conveyances £56,576
Post.chaises, private carriages,
cars, gigs, &c..
- Parcels, goods, &c.
- Coal, Sand, Corn, Cattle, Fish, and Vege-
tables
By conveyance of the Mails

£93,964
Estimated annual cost of working, 40 per cent. 37,584

Nett revenue

£56,380

This calculation, which' shows a return of upwards of six per
cent. on the capital, is made upon principles allowed in proof
before Parliamentary Committees, but does not include the
carriage of any of the mineral produce of the County, or of
mining materials, or of manures other than sand; nor is any
credit taken for the large revenue which may be anticipated from
the probable return of the Packet Establishment, and from the
certain increase of passengers who will embark and disembark
at Falmouth when they can avail themselves of the benefit of
Railway communication.

Cornwall possesses within itself great facilities for the con.
struction and maintenance of Midways.

. -
Its numerous Foundries from which Engines and other Ma.
chinery are forwarded to all parts of the World, the able Engi
neers who are brought up within it, and the skill and enterprise
of its labouring population, will all conduce to the cheap and good
construction of the line and works.

The Committee cannot but express their fullest confidence, that

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
GLOBE.—We took occasion, a few weeks ago, to
advert to the first Report of the Commissioners for
inquiring into the state of large towns and popu-
lous districts. We now return to the subject, for
the purpose of stating some considerations having
reference to the practical adoption of the measures
already indicated by the Commissioners as most
expedient. The subject naturally divides itself
into portions more or less distinct, and of varying
importance. Foremost among these, in point of im-
portance, we find drainage and ventilation, each having
direct relation to the chief object of the com-
mission. The evils developed in the course of these
two branches of the inquiry are, however, evidently
susceptible of very different remedies. The improve-
ment of the system of drainage now prevalent seems,
to a great extent, hopeless, without the vigorous inter-
ference of the Legislature. It is chiefly under the
management of Commissioners appointed under local
Acts, and governed by bye-laws and usages alike
(lestitute of uniformity and of fitness for attaining the
first object of an efficient system of drainage. It aims
almost solely at effecting a mere surface drainage : thus
leaving the sewerage and drainage of houses almost
entirely unprovided for; and confined as these laws
are as to the extent of their object, they are so loosely
constructed as to give rise to considerable differences
of opinion ; and are, moreover, seldom enforced
hut under the pressure of great local annoyance
from a want of drainage. The efforts made by
those who can afford to pay for a convenience
so essential to health and comfort as the proper
drainage of their houses, are attended with
much unnecessary trouble and expense, and the
convenience is at length conceded rather as a privi-
lege than as a common right; while those who stand
in greatest need of the accommodation, are effectually
deprived of it, though immediately surrounded by
every facility for it. In some of our large towns the
passage of house refuse, &c. into the drains is entirely
prohibited, and it is very generally forbidden to make
the drains subservient to the cleansing of the streets.
There being no general supervision in reference to the
levels, it is not uncommon to have houses so built that
they do not admit of effectual drainage, or drains so
constructed that their contents can only be partially
discharged. None but a legislative remedy can reach
evils such as those just enumerated. There are,
however, some others which may be cured by a
better exercise of the discretion at present vested
in the local authorities—such as the defective and
unnecessarily expensive methods of construction
at present very generally adopted, and the de-
tails of the arrangements for meeting the expense
of improvements. A complete revision of all the
Acts now in force affecting the subject, and the
formation of a general plan of drainage upon a scien-
tific basis, with regulations for an equitable imposi-
tion of the requisite expense, however, seem to present
themselves as essential requisites. If the art of
draining towns is but little understood or practised
amongst us, that of ventilating our dwellings is
scarcely more so. But the drainage is under public
management, and comes properly within cognisance
of the Legislature, while ventilation is rather matter
of arrangement for private individuals. Much may
be done in widening streets and passages, and
prohibiting the erection of the most notoriously de-
fective class of houses, but nothing very effectual can
be hoped for without the hearty co-operation of the
public. It is already sufficiently obvious, that neither
the value of pure air nor the facility with which it
may almost everywhere be procured, are sufficiently
known. Here the great barrier to improve-
irie'nt is ignorance; and that is not to be re-
moved by an Act of Parliament. The poorer
classes especially require t
an extent they suffer from this be taught to what
cause. All classes
would be the better for it, and we believe any means
by which the leading facts and suggestions embodied
in the report we have alluded to could be made gene-
rally known throughout the kingdom, would do much
to prepare the way for such legislative measures
as the Commissioners may ultimately think fit
to recommend, and at the same time tend strongly
to bring abut changes for the better in the sana-
tory condition of the people which no legislative

interference, unaided by such knowledge, would
be at all likely to effect. flow far the Govern-
ment should interfere to settle the terms of con-
tracts between private individuals, or to regulate
their personal habits in matters not most palpably and
directly affecting the public weal, is a problem yet to
be solved. Should its solution be required in this
case, it would, we conceive, be advisable to begin by
narrowing the ground of disuussion as much as pos-
sible. This might be done, perhaps, most efficiently
by publishing in a more accessible form a condensed
view of the evidence already taken and published by
the Commissioners, embodying the facts and the sug-
gestions of practical men most immediately appli-
cable to those evils which lie beyond the ordinary
range of legislative enactments.
STANDARD.—There is in the Church a party,
we rejoice to believe a small one, who wishing well
to the scheme of Tractarian dissent, and lending to
the Romanising Dissenters all the aid that they
safeliy can, decline: boldly to assume Mr. New-
man s colours. This may be good worldly policy.
Such men are secure from being involved in the
fate of the more ingenuous and enterprising Dissen-
ters, should it prove disastrous; while, in the event
of success, they prepare a claim to share in the
triumph; and all the while they enjoy that praise
of moderation to " cowardice and craft so dear."
This, however, though a good worldly policy, is
not Christian policy. The presumption is, no
doubt, always in favour of moderation towards
those who act on the defensive, and who maintain
the admitted truths, even when they happen to
err on the side of excess, because their motive
;s originally sound and honourable ; but the
presumption is against moderation towards the
aggressor, whenever there can be the slightest suspi-
cion of the rightfulness of his aggression. " When
thou sawest," &c., says the inspired King—
and how does the spirit menace the Laodiceans
who "were neither hot nor cold"—in the assertion of
divine truth ? It is not for us to mark out the re-
presentatives of the lukewarm party to which we
refer, but few readers can be at a loss to name them.
Doctor Hook, of Leeds, has caused to be published,
a letter addressed V him to a friend in Oxford,
which letter, with the replies to it from some
Romanising Dissenters, we copy from the Trac-
tarian organ that has been favoured with them.
Dr. Hook declares that he will not attend to
vote against Dr. Symons, because the majority of
the members of Convocation are not disposed to set
aside that excellent and pious gentleman, in com-
pliance with the command of Messrs. Newman,
Ward, and Company ; and Dr. Hook, however
willing to be the unattached ally and abettor of the
Romanising Dissenters, does not like' implicitly
to cast in his lot with them—least of all when
they seem to be seriously threatened with a
defeat. This is the plain English translation
of Doctor Hook's shuffling apology to his
Romanising Dissenter friends, and some of his
answerers have made good use of its transparent dis-
ingenuousness and confession of self-seeking. But
though Dr. Hook will not vote against Dr. Symons,
neither will he attend to support the venerable war-
den's claim to what uninterrupted usage has rendered

despe-
rate of the Romanising Dissenters ; and it is not
my present convenience to identify myself with
them. Would such morality as this be endured in
any of the ordinary affairs of life ? The proceeding
at Oxford, it is to be remembered, is not an election,
not a contest between A and B, where every one is at
liberty to weigh the merits of the respective candi-
dates, and to vote for one, the other, or neither, ac-
corlingly as his judgment shall direct. It is a punish-
ment threatened for an alleged offence ; an aggres-
sion, menaced for the gratification of revenge;
or a political manceuvre, contrived for the purpose of
throwing the government of the University into the
hands of a particular party. Now we care not which
of the three hypotheses be adopted; we assert that no
really
.honest man can escape from the necessity
of taking a part, as far as his opportunity and
convenience permit. If a punishment for trans-
gression is proposed, an honest man will vote
to punish the transgressor, or more cheerfully to pro-
tect the innocent. If revenge only is the aggressor's
object, every honest man will feel it a sacred duty to
interpose between the aggressor and his vengeance. If
the manceuvre be purely a stroke of Uni-
versity politics to obtain ascendancy for one
party at Oxford, every honest man attached
to the University and to the Church, must feel
that it is his duty to take one side or the other.
Less learned men than the members of Convocation
remember the infamy justly attached by the Athe-
nian legislator to neutrality 'upon such a vital
question as is agitated. But Dr. Hook does not
disguise his feeling that not only Dr. Symons, but
the other five judges of Dr. Pusey's sermon, as
well as the admirable Vice-Chancellor now in
office, ought to be insulted and stigmatised ;
nor conceal the fact that it is only his an-
ticipation of defeat; and his care for the position
of himself, Doctor Hook, that prevent his join-
ing heart and hand with Messrs. Newman, Ward,
and Company, in the attempt to affix the insult and
the stigma. Honest and generous man ! His pre-
text is the condemnation of Dr. Pusey's sermon.
And why the condemnation of Dr. Pusey's sermon?
Dr. Hook will not deny that substantial justice
was done in the condemnation of a discourse which
laboured without disguise to establish, against the
Protestant Church of England and all the other Pro-
testant reformed churches, that doctrine which is the
distinctive doctrine of Popery—the foundation of
the power of Rome, and the great source of its
errors and its crimes. Dr. Hook will not say that
such a sermon, preached in a Protestant Univer-
sity, might not be condemned, and he does not
dare to deny, the substantial justice of the
condemnation or its necessity. No, imitating
the example of some of the less honest Whigs,
in the parallel case of the repeal conspirators, he
evades the question of substantial justice, rest-
ing his complaint upon the pretext that the
party had no fair trial. What does Doctor
Hook mean by a fair trial ? The tribunal
was statutably appointed by the Vice-Chancellor,
under the obligation of his official oath, and it
comprised gentlemen supposed to be favourable to
Doctor Pusey's opinions. No other form of
tribunal was available without violating the
statutes. No better men it was admitted, before
they gave their judgment, by the Tractarians them-
selves, could be found in the University than the
six gentlemen selected. The corpus delicti, the
Romanising sermon, was placed in the hands of this
tribunal. Dr. Pusey was made acquainted with
the construction put upon its Romanising passages,
and invited to explain these passages, if he could, in
a manner to reconcile them to the Articles of the
Church of England, to which he had more than once
sworn. Neither then, however, nor since, has he ever
attempted any such explanation. Was not this a fair
trial ? If not, no man against whom a plea of
guilty has been recorded was fairly tried. IVhat is
a plea of guilty? Is it an acknowledgment that
the party ought to be hanged, transported, or im-
prisoned, as the case may be ? No ; it is merely a
confession that the accused has perpetrated the act
alleged against him, under the circumstances and with
the understanding imputed in the indictment; but
after the record of his plea of guilty, is he allowed to
defend, as innocent, the act condemned by law P No;
the law will not allow such an insult to its authority.

This, however, is precisely the case of Dr. Pwey s
sermon. His delivery of the sermon, and de-
clining to explain away the Romanising tendency
of its objectionable passages, was a plea of guilty.
Any defence after that, would be merely an
apology for the avowed Popish doctrines of the dis-
course, and such on apology, the Viee-Chancellor and
his assessors were by their oath and by the statues
forbidden to hear. This is state of things which 1)r.
Hook represents as constituting a denial of justice.
Dr. Hook, however, will, we trust, find few follower 3,
as to-morrow's numbers will show.

THE EXCHEQUER-BILL FORGERIES.--A Correspon-
dent informs us that Mr. Rapello, who cut such a con-
spicuous figure in the well-known Exchequer-bill for,-
gcri, s, was the other day seen near the Elephant and
Castle, and that he is now located somewhere in the
neighbourhood of Wandsworth.—Sunday Times.
OLDUAM.--The inhabitants of Oldham have for
years been endeavouring to obtain a mail, for London,
at about five P.M. daily, which they have at length suc-
ceeded in getting, by raising a subscription for the pur-
pose. A London and general bag are now conveyed by
the railway train leaving Oldham at 5.50 P.M., instead
of the old-fashioned gig mail, when the box closed at
2.15 p.m., for Loadoa.

REMOVAL OF COMMERCIAL RE-
STRICTIONS.
Although the commercial negotiations undertaken
by the British Government with foreign Powers
within the last few years did not meet with that ac-
ceptance and success to which they w ere justly en-
titled as the best means of improving the advantages
of traffic and of peace, ;set we observe with pleasure
that a considerable impulse has been given to the re-
moval of commercial restrictions Hewed, and that
the principles of a more liberal commercial policy are
certainly gaining ground in every country in Europe,
except in France. These subjects are still so imper-
fectly understood by a large proportion of the men
who are invested with the government of States, that
their reasoning upon them is an incongruous mixture
of political suspicions and commercial ignorance.
They are disposed to apply the old maxims of State
policy, which consisted in labouring by all means to
weaken their rivals, forgetting that one of the
greatest dangers to which a productive nation can be
exposed is to impoverish its customers ; and they still
attach such mysterious notions of prosperity to high
prices, that they do not disdain the aid of artificial
means to support them, even at the expense of their
own subjects. The true reasons by which the vices of
this system have been exposed and demonstrated are
not unfrequently viewed by politicians of this class
with excessive distrust ; but meanvihile other consi-
derations, less sound in principle, but more effectual
in their result, insensibly urge them in the same
course, and the consequence is a general, though
gradual, movement in the right direction. If the ef-
fects of this jealous policy had not been extremely
detrimental to the best interests of the world, there
Was something unspeakably ludicrous in the lan-
guage of the different States which evaded or rejected
the offers of England, for no better reason than that
they were British offers.
" Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes"
was the universal cry ; and our own commercial
greatness appeared to have taught the world no wiser
lesson then that it was unsafe to associate the interest.
of other countries with our own, and to adopt theme
principles by which we hold that the common pros.
perity of nations may be most securely promoted.
The pedantic prohibitionists of Germany, the slave-
traders of Brazil, and the jobbers in Portugal, _had
but one and the same theme; end by their deliberate
suggestions or ignorant terrors their respective Go-
vernments were led to reject an alliance with the best
market and the largest capitalists in the world.
Such folly must be short-lived ; and although we dry
not expect them to have the candour or good sense
to acknowledge the extent of their error, yet we perceive
with satisfaction that in many quarters serious prac-
tical attempts are now made to counteract its progresa.
It must be admitted that the principles of commercial
reform, however just they may be in themselves, aree
shown to great disadvantage when they ere urged
upon the attention of a Government by a foreign,
Power. In negotiations of this kind each State takes
an exaggerated view of the concessions retpired of it
by the other; each seems to forget tbet external con-
cessions are in reality at the same time internal bene-
fits to the domestic consuteaer ; and the value of a
commercial treaty is estimated, not by a general view
of its

of this nature to promote and defend the interests of
his own country before all others; but in the dis-
charge of this duty he is apt to lose the credit which
he may in reality deserve for equitable and prudent
intentions towards the other contracting party,
and, as we have repeatedly seen, the most
&Jur-
ing and advantageous proposals have been tainted
and made repulsive by a foreign origin, For these
reasons our commercial negotiations beee for the most
part failed, and we must be emats:ht to wait until the
progress of public 111 various countries, the •
effects of competition, and the claims of internal
interests hriseg about those changes which a more
enlightned and energetic spirit on their part might
inve anticipated. This is the operation which we
confidently believe to be going on ; and the present
year has exhibited numerous signs of the command-
ing interest which these commercial questions have
everywhere assumed. The Austrian Government has
promulgated a new tariff, which shows that it is dis-
posed to follow with characteristic steadiness the
policy begun by the treaty and the tariff of 1838.
In Hungary the Diet has been agitated by vigorous
debates on the subject of free trade ; and amongst the
Hungarians, who are eager to assume that rank in
Europe to which they are justly entitled by their
population, their productions, and their free institu-
tions, there are few who deny that the improvement
of their commercial system is the first step to the ac-
complishment of their national desires. Holland, la-
bouring with financial difficulties which would over-
whelm a people of less prudence and integrity,
steers her course in the same direction, and the mo-
nopolies founded by the late King for selfish pur-
poses are tottering to their fall. Naples seems at
length to recollect that it rests with herself to carry •
into execution the most essential parts of the treaty
which was so inexplicably and disgracefully frus-
trated by Lord Palmerston. In the other States of
Italy the idea of commercial union is gaining
ground ; and in the north of Europe Belgium,has
concluded a treaty for six years with the German
Commercial League. In all these States there is the
same manifest tendency to remove restrictions and to
extend trade; and even though the immediate purpose
of some of these arrangements may be governed by no
friendly spirit to the commerce of this country, yet
we view them with no dissatisfaction, from the full
conviction that the commercial relations of the world
must be based upon general principles, and cannot be
narrowed by that worst form of restrictions which
consists in national preferences and exclusive piivi-
leges. 'We have already remarked that the spirit by
which the German Zollverein was called into existence,
is at work in various parts of Europe. It tends
to assimilate the several members of the Austrian
empire ; it will probably combine the Italian States ,
it has even led France to make an abortive effort to
join her commercial interests to those of Belgium.
But the failure of that attempt (without reference
to the important political considerations it suggested
at the time) shows in a striking light the conditions
on which alone such unions are practicable or can
he profitable. They indispensably require a low
standard of custom. house duties, and a good
system of internal communication. In these respects
France had nothing to offer to Belgium : she would
have placed her within the circle of her own prohibi-
tive duties, but those duties would have cut Belgium
off from her maritime and trans-Rhenane neighbobrs.
She would have opened to her the market of France;
but France has as yet done less than any country in
Europe towards the completion of that system of rail-
roads which she, more than any other country, re-
quires. The commercial system, the ports, and the
railways of Belgium already assimilated her to her
German neighbours ; and although the French are
irritated with the Government of Brussels for
having, as they term it, " turned its back on the
revolution of July," they have nothing to blame
for it but their infatuated adherence to maxims of
commercial policy which every other Ste)te is gra-
dually relaxing, and their very slow prosecution of
those improVements which have already opened most
important lines of communication in Europe, and
will eventually contribute, as much as anything else,
to the general interchange of the productions of every
part of the world.—Times.

AT CLERKENWELL.-011 Saturday evening,
between six and
seven o'clock, a fire broke out near
Back-hill, Clerkenwell, in a long range of premises oc-
cupied o conj in El by Mr. W. Powell, a large cab proprietor,
and Mr. Waite, a seed merchant. The fire originated in
a part of the building used as the provender stores, and
the place being filled with articles of the most inflam-
mable nature, the progress of the flames was unusually
rapid. Much difficulty was experienced in getting the
horses out in time to save them from destruction ; none,
however, were injured. The floor above the stores con-
tained several thousand pounds' worth of seeds ; the
whole of this valuable property was destroyed in a very
short time. Several engines were
quickly on the spot.
The fire was got
under in a short space of time, but the.
amount of damage done is very considerable.
PROPERTY 1N SHARES.—On Friday, at the Auction
Mart, Mr. Shuttleworth put up for sale by auction one
hundred shares in the Thames Tunnel, upon which 50/
each had been paid, amounting to 5,0001. The attend-.
ante of capitalists was rather numerous, is consequence
