!assuredly would do, had not the frequency of such an-
nouncements neutralise:l the impression they ought ea-
turelly to produce on the public mind.
Oa the latter case, we cannot help arriving at the
1 cenclusion, that, in spite of all the naueeating affectation
of military arrane,Tmentseind gradations of rank, ss hit h
th, se police afflies always exhibit, this system of con-
stallinlary is a very vicious and imperfect one. When
the under-constable tick charge of the money at four
or five o'clock in the morning, why was it re-
tie lied to him by the upper-constable, instead
of being c'o'y entered with ail particulars
on the " sheet "—achnowledged is some proper printed
form to the under-constable—and brought forward by
the upper one (i. e., " the superior officer ") before the
magistrate, on brining up the case for hearing some
hours acterwards ? To return money under such cir-
cumstances was at least to subject it to new jeopardy,
to the ultimate loss of the plundered seaman ; for this
delinqu, at, GUY, of the y division, without dreaming
of the einbezz!ernent he afterwards committed, might
have innocen•ly lust it in the very first street brawl in
which he might have been called upon to interfere on his
way home. And then, what were the " superior officers"
about, when they found that this " private," instead of
returning from the ufilce straight to his inspector, and
paying over the money, according to the "general
orders " of the "service," did not appear at
the station all day—to let the matter stand over till the
" evening muster or parade," when he was first reported
" not on duty ?" A little alacrity and management
might surely have tracked the offender to his hiding
place long before he bad changed or expended one of the
.5/. Bank note 2, the property of the sailor? It is obvious
to common sense that such a system of returning money
found on the person of a prisoner to one of these offi-
cers, is to expose him to the double danger of tempting
him to the commission of a crime—and cthe, s, among
the lawless community through whose haunts he is
obliged to move, to outrage and violence against
himself, under the impression that he carries
booty about his person during a certain por-
tion, at least, of the day. We find that an
Inspector, DODD, said, " it was the duty of all constables
to attend at the station-house after the disposal of
charges with which they were concerned, to report the
result of the examination, and to deliver up whatever
property might come into their bands. This was always
done w'llw' i any express directions from the inspector on
At)" And why do there exist no such express direc-
tions? Is it thought that it would be considered indeli-
cate, forsooth, to the police-constables to issue such
instructions, on the ground that they would imply
a doubt of their possible susceptibility to the
temptation of theft ? We are at a loss to imagine what
case they have made out to be entitled to exemption from
such ordinary precautions on the part of their supe-
riors, The prisoner, GUY, is stated to be " a young
man of highly-respectable connexions. lie had been
in the police force about six months, having been
bought out of the army by his friends." We very much
suspect that this statement suggests the true history of
many other cases of police-constable delinquencies.,
There is too little vigilance exercised by the Commis-
sioners in ascertaining the moral character and qualifi-
cations of candidates for admission into their "corps ;"
or too much importance ascribed to the smartness of
their appearance, and, above all, to the circumstance
of their having previously belonged " to the army,"
as the reporter phrases it.

We stated on Saturday that the time was come fur
settling the lunge agitated question of the corn-laws, and
expressed a hope that another session would not be suf-
fered to pass without the adoption of measures for
fieally setting it at rest Indeed. it was impossible to
read the speches made at agricultural meetings,
independent even of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S well-
known inclination, to come to any other conclusion
Still it is gratifying to find that a new authority
has been added to those which have already appeared—
the authority of an active and beneficent legislator,
one, it is true, who makes no pretensions to any know-
ledge of Cabinet secrets, but who, nevertheless, from his
political principles and station in society, is entitled to the
fullest credit—we mean Lord A Slim:Y. In a late address
to his constituents, the electors of Dorsetsbire, his Lord-
ship says, "I will seize this occasion to touch the
subject of the corn-laws, and the certain result of the
present movement against them. It appears to me that
their destiny is fixed ; and that the leading men of the
great parties in the Legislature are by no means disin-
clined to their eventual abolition. The debates of last
session have left no doubt on this head : both the can-
didates for power, and the occupants of it, approximated
so much more closely than at any former period, that
most of the hearers were induced to believe that
their difference was less a matter of principle
than a question of time." This coming from
a strong supporter of these laws is sufficiently
remarkable; but what follows is more remarkable still,
as his evident the agriculturists themselves—we should
rather say the landlords—are resolved to run a race
with the League, and know their fate without delay.
Now is the time to strike. Such another opportunity
may never occur, and his Lordship, therefore,
advises the landlords to consider in what way they
can break the force of an inevitable blow. They can only
do it in his opinion by offering terms for a gradual abo
lition ; "for," says he, "you have, at this momen
the power to offer such terms ; their is no certainty that
you wiil retain it much longer--cur actual prosperity
must come to an end ; and then .the wide and fearful
pressure of commercial distress, with the hostility on
the one side, and the indifference on the other, of the
great political chiefs, will leave you, in an hour of especial
difficulty, altog, ther without a refuge or resource." This
is consolatory intelligence, and we may, from this as we.l
as from other symptoms, regard the proposed change as
the great question for the ensuing session. The state of
the crops, and the certainty of importation of foreign
grain, cannot fail to have given Sir R. PEEL great un-
easiness with regard not only to the currency, but the
peace of the community. A large importation might
drain the country of gold, and drive us to the ne-
cessity of again begging succour from our neigh-
bours. o,n the other hand, if prices continue high,
and the half-starved Irish, not to speak of
the poor classes in this island, are driven
to despair by want, the danger may be still more ap
palling, Ile is thus placed in a difficult position, and
resti4 naturally he anxi, us to take every rational means
to prevent, for the future, such a concurrence of un-
towaid circumstances. 'this question, we learn from
vari,:us quarters, cccupit s above all others the
att ntion of her MAJESTY'S Ministers, and a de-
cision may be expected by the begineing of next month.
We have little doubt of the result. It is said that the
Duke and the Premier cannot agree on the course that
should be adopted, and that a split of the Cabinet may
be the consequence, but w e place no confidence in the
rumour. The Duke knows how to obey as well as corn•
tnand: ho has entrusted the reins of Government to Sir
ItoBERT PEEL—he has elr ady yielded to his plea for
conciliating Ireland, and he will not time rt him in a
measure so intimately connected with his monetary
system. and so essential to the existence of a Tory Go-
vernment.

The declaration by the authorities and commanding officers
representing England and France cf the blockade of all the
harbours of the Argentine Republic, and the actual esta-
bli"tunent of that blockade as to the harbours of the Re-
public of Uruguay (the Monte Video State, or the "Banda
Oriental"), in whose behalf we have intervened—the latter
being directed against th, se ports in the vicinity of which
General ORIBE'S Buenus-Ayrean army is engaged in active
operations—will soon, we doubt not, bear fruits. TLe
seizure of the Argentine squadron is an auspiciouS com-
mencement of a batter order of things for the outraged in-
terests Of humanity, the insulted nationality of all the flags
of European civilization, and the wrongs of their commerce.
But fur the very numerous people whom the political con-
vulsions of South America in the last twenty-five years have
heaved into an agitated existence, this interposition by the
two greatest nations of the world is probably fraught with

moral influences, that, but for the very circumstances—un-
toward as they originally appeared—out of which it has
arisen, would probably have slumbered, inactive, fur a cen-
tury or two yet to come. The remoteness of • those fine
countries of the New World which, heretofore, were
the wealthy colonies of Spain, has hitherto proved of
fatal prejudice to the governed, whether under the mild
despo'ism of their Spenish masters, or the fierce licentious-
ness of the dictatorships established by their native and re-
publican lenders in the name of liberty. So long as European
opinion could be but verytardily and slightly brought to bear
on the incidents a, tending their political progress, so tong
they would have continued to manifest a reckless disregard
of all the ordinary principles of international law and even of
moral responsibility. The excitement of contending factions
would have continued to absorb every other sentiment, and
that sanguinary desolation which seems to be the native
type cf South American energy, under all conditions of cir-
cumstances, and in the several zones over which its sphere
of action is distributed, would still-have marred and neutra-
-1 lised all the bounties of PROVIDENCE and the productiveness
of climate by internecine wars and insane and incessant re-
volutions. Steam, among its other triumphs, had already
brou+-ht its " disturbing forces" i ,to play. The remoteness
of thcer position, and the meagreness of their relations with
the 01,1 World were already becoming little more than his-
torical recollections to these States, when the insolent pre-
sumplit on of a military adventurer, drunk with success and
blinded by his ambition, involved European subjects, their
lives rald property, in the same violence which be hal ha-
bitue4ly applied to the citizens of Buenos Ayresland-of Monte
Vi';l4o. The les.so/4 that will be taught by the planif9atatiun

which this lawless policy ha 3 elicited at the hands of France
and Ergland will not be readily forgotten by Resits or his
pe-pl,-. They will learn to respect the political maxim
which recogriscs the presence of the European power in the
exhibition of its flag, and Poses himself may yet be
signally instructed, that the governments of civilised states
will sometimes vi,it tat delimpient chiefs, who have invoked,
for their own bad purposes, the cut-throat aid of such in-
famous auxiliaries as his " Masorca Club," the same retri-
butive justice which municipal laws inflict for atrocious
crimes on private offenders. Ere this we should imagine that
the complete defeat which another portion of his forces has
sustained at Santa Fe from General LOPES, aided by some

half-disciplined Indian cavalry, will have completed the
effect of the loss of his fleet. For our own parts, we trust
that. when that national satisfaction shall have been afforded
which it is the immediate object of the French and English
diplomatic agents to compel, RoSAS himself shall be sub-
mittod to the searching examinations of a duly constituted
tribunal, to ascertain to what extent, if to any, he himself
has been compromised in the barbarous massacre of the nine
English subjects composing the Scotch family residing in the
immediate vicinity of Buenos Ayres, to which we alluded
more particularly a few weeks ago, and in other of those
excesses, perpetrated by the " Masorca," to which General
O'BRIEN was so nearly becoming a sacrifice, and beneath
which others of our countrymen, or European brethren, less
fortunate than the General, have undoubtedly perished.
In a merely commercial point of view, the re-establish-

ment (f a pacific intercourse with the States upon the La
Plata is an object of greater magnitude to Great Britain than
some of our readers may perhaps suppose. By a reference to
the Parliamentary Paper, of which we recently submitted
a careful abstract, entitled "Exports and Imports" (P. P.,
sees. 1845, Ho. Comm., No. 651), we find the "Return for
Mexico and the other States of Central and South America,
exclusive of Brazil," consolidated under one head. But
inasmuch as the leading articles or commodities of export
and import are separately set out, it is not difficult to form
a sufficiently accurate notion of the proportions we may ascribe
to the trade with Monte Video and Buenos Ayres. Taking the
whole table for Mexico, &c., it results that the " aggregate"
value of British and Irish produce and manufactures ex-
ported, last year, was 3,013,267/. In some of these exports
the increase in five years—from 1840 to 1844 inclusive—is
really astonishing. Brass and copper manufactures in the
former year were to the amount of 4,9061. only; in the
latter, 16,123/. Hardware and cutlery rose from 76,600/.
to 143,6081. ; woollen manufactures, including yarn, from
541,3381. to 775,7671. The imports from the same countries,
during the same interval, are, as usual, returned only as
" quantities," with the rates of duty chargeable thereon.
But these do not the less indicate a rapidly expanding and
lucrative commerce. The imports of :Peruvian bark, which
in 1840 were only 69,2671b5., in t 843 amounted to 303,6651b5.,

the duty being meanwhile lowered from 9s. 9id. to Is.'
per cwt. The return for " Cochineal (Granilla and Dust),'
independently of the interest attaching to the trade in that
precious commodity, is too instructive an exemplification of

the results of a wise reduction of import duties not to merit
here our especial notice. In 1810 the duty was is. and a
fraction for the cwt. of Cochineal and Granilla, and 19s. 7id.
for the Dust; and the imports were 205,5501b5. In 1841,
at same duties, cnly 67,9401b5, In 1842, 1843, and

1844, the duty being reduced to ls. and a fraction
per cwt. on each, the imports were, severally, 259,9801b5.,
421,7421b5., and 303,8901b5. Again, in 1840, the duty on
coffee was is. 3d. per lb., reduced in 1842. to
fitid., and in 1844 to Gd. and a fraction. The imports in-
creased through each successive year, from 587.3531b5. to
8,093,6391b5. But we content ourselves for the present by
merely pointing out in this manner what are the capacities
of the trade with these States. Let us, in conclusion, look
a little further, and see what they may be made by judicious
negotiation. For more than a century past the policy of the
Jesuits had gradually isolated the noble region of Paraguay
(situated as to South America within boundaries more land-
locked than even those of Poland, as to Europe) from the
approach of all foreign trade. As if Nature had not suf.
ficientiy removed her by natural features and geographical
position from all access by the ocean, the jealous vigilance of

that remarkable tyrant, the doctor-dictator, FRANCIA (so
graphically described in Mr. ROBERTSON'S admirable
" Letters from Paraguay,") successfully established a species
of frontier blockade for a full quarter of a century, without a
single soldier, and with the most moderate Custoin-house
establishment imaginable. The death of FRANCIA, two or
three years ago, has demolished the more than Chinese seclu-
sion in which he managed to keep his territory. Its natural
wealth, its medicinal treasures, its vegetable products, its
mineral riches, are well knomn ; its peltry much less so than it
deserves to be, for it abounds in animals that yield excellent
furs. Its hides are also of first-rate quality. Connected
by the mighty waters or the Parana, on the west, with
the fine countries of old Upper Peru, now incor-
porated into the States of Bolivia—on the east by the
Uruguay with Brazil, on the south by tributaries of the
latter, which unite it, as it may be said, with the course of
the mighty La Piata, it is not easy to exaggerate the bene-
ficial results to the trade of this country which a more ex-
tensive and carefully cultivated intercourse with Paraguay
would secure. The first and indispensable step in the work
of giving to such a trade a development far, very far beyond
any it has ever yet attained, must be of curse to secure the
free navigation of the Plata, and to establish permanent re-
lations f amity with the republics of which the cities of
Monte Video and Buenos Ayres are now the respective capi
tale. The ultimate means of giving permanency and con-
solidation to such a commerce, so as to elicit all its advan.

tages to their full extent, will be the establishment of rail•
ways, for which, we venture to affirm, few countries of
America will be found to offer more numerous or profitable
facilities than the vast and fertile plains of Paraguay. If
she be but supplied with there lines of communication, her
growth will be instantaneous from her dwarfed infancy of
two centuries of demi-civilisation to the gigantic maturity
of a magnificent and opulent dominion. It is somewhat
extraordinary that the nearest portion of the Brazilian em-
pire, abutting on her eastern and north-eastern boundaries,
is the meat captaincy or province of San Paulo, for the esta-
blishment of a railway through whose maritime borders a
company has been for some time past successfully organising

in London. It is thus that we may hope to see, ere long, in
the veryheart of South America the most modern and useful
of the arts of peace, avenging, in the n►btest sense of the
term, an interesting frailly of the human race for the long-
continued ravages it has sustained through the aggressions
of destructive wars and massacres.

We have received Madrid Journals of the 11th and 12th
inst. Those of the former are chiefly filled with particulars
of the grand levee held in honour of her MAJESTY'S birth-
day, which was attended by at least thirteen hundred per-
sons. A general amnesty was expected to appear in the
Gazette on the 12th inst. It was confidently stated at
Madrid that General BnifirroN, notorious for his insulting
and atrocious proclamations in Catalonia, had resigned.
Others state that he had been dismissed, as his conduct had
become so insufferable that many of the official authorities
under him had refused to act. The Timpo states that the
Company who had received the concession of the Madrid
Iron Railway line had deposited 5,000,000 reels (50,000 L)
in the bank of San Fernando, as a security for the fulfil-
ment of their engagements. The following extract of a
letter, dated Cadiz, Oct. 6, appears in the Castellano:-"The
felucca guards costa Jupiter• left this part last week, iu pur-
suit of a smuggling vessel which hoisted English colour,.

The c.-Itninandant of the Jupiter, nevertheless, fired at the
smuggler, whiolt suught refuge iu the Gibraltar waters,
whence an English steamer immediately started in pursuit of
the Spanish guards-costa; the latter was, however, fortunate.
enough to reach the port of Cadiz.. Serious discussions have
arisen on the subject between the governors of the two places,
whicb,--ns usual, will turn to our shame."
No transactions took place on the Bourse on the 11 th
or 12th,

The Paris papers contain a variety of intelligence, not
without interest. We are glad to find from most of them
that the Grand Duke of TUSCANY has acted with great
humanity towards the unfortunate persons engaged in the
affair of Rimini, allowing them to traverse the country un-
molested and to embark at Leghorn. About a hundred of
them had reached Marseilles, as will be seen from the follow-
ing account iu the Constitutionnel :—" The Post-office packet
Eurotas, on her way from Malta, Naples, Civita Vecchia, and
Leghorn, to Marseilles, has been driven into Toulon by stress
of weather. Among her passengers were about a hundred
Roman refugees, who, after laying down their arms, suc-
ceeded in.gairing the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. They are
those who embarked at Leghorn with the assent of the Grand
DUKE, who was unwilling to give them up to the Papal
authority. The Eurotas went on to Marseilles, and, on
reaching that port, the unfortunate refugees hoped they
had found an asylum ; but they were immediately put
into prison, and, according to a Marseilles letter of the 14th,
have not been allowed to have any communications beyond
it. Such a measure cannot be easily comprehended ; but it
appears that, in these days of disavowals, the Prefect has
felt that it would be most prudent for him to ask for instruc-
tions from Paris, and, accordingly, set the telegraph at work.
It is said at Marseilles that the insurgents who embarked at
Rimini have been cast by a storm on the Adriatic coast, and
thus fallen into the hands of the Pontifical authorities. It is
to be hoped that this report will not be confirmed." The
Sad de Marscillts 'says the imprisonment is only a
temporary measure, and adds that the towns of
Satintuf; Chateaurous, and Loches, had been mentioned
as places to which they would be sent to reside.
They arc chiefly young men of the working classes.
Marshal :•30ULTI,ad arrived at Pais in improved health. Im-
mediately after his 811 V al, the Doke DE M NTPENSI ea waited
urent him, and shortly ef ern'ards the i'%;arsh:4l %tent to St.
Cloud to pay his respects to the KING and Royal Family,
where be at:ended a Cabinet Council, at which the KING pre-
sided. No additional intelligence had been received by the
Government from Algiers, but a letter from Oran of the Bth
instant, contains the following:—
"A general rising has taken place in this province.
Dieina Ghazaouat is sarrount'ed oe ell sides by the Arabs.
That place, as well as Lalla Maghrina, has daily combats to
sustain. All the outposts have been attacked in the hottest
style. Abd el-.Kader is now, with considerable forces, at
Riri Salado, sixteen leagues from Oran. General Lamor-
dere Les marchtd to his enc.iunter."

Two days bter nevo, however, had been received
from that which state that nothing new of any im-
portance had been received. Several of the journals
continue their comments oa BUGEAUD'S letters,

which those of the Oplositiol consider have greatly weak-
ened the Ministry. The Corwite;onnel, at the close of an
article, thus sums up their misdeeds :—" The Government
would not, sorry to turn pt.d?lio attention away from the

true question—the immense fault which it has committed by
a foolish nego:iatiou ; the blood of our soldiers, for which it
is responsible; security, driven away for a length of time
from one-half of Algeria; confidence lost; colonisation ren-
dered more dillicult ; new troops engaged; new sacrifices
rendered necessary by fifteen m nabs' shameful negligence:
Such is the terrible accusation which weighs on the Cabinet,
and the reproaches of the Marshal are grave, particularly be-
cause they are in accordance with the cry of public opinion."
some of the journals publish intelligence from Otaheite up
to the 15th of April, which states that Capt. BRUAT had de-
clared Raiatea, the island to which the QUEEN had fled, in a
state of blockade. The following extract from a letter ap-
pears in La 17otte, but no dates arc given :

"The intrigues of the English continue, and are daily be-
coming more menacing. Admiral Hamelin has left Otaheite,
in order to join the Elig!ish Admiral and negotiate with him.
After protracted deliberations it has been agreed that the
English and French squadrons shall in future act in concert.
The English Admiral will come to Otaheite, and will salute
the 'Protectorate flag,' in order to manifest the new and
'cordial entente' of the two nations. A summons will next be
addressed, in the name of England and France, to Queen
Pomare, with the view of making her immediately submit to
the Protectorate. In the event of her resisting it, her deposi-.
tion will be proclaimed, and France will be at liberty to em-
ploy her forces in bringing her to subjection. What new
Majesty is, in virtue of this convention, to rule over Otaheite,
is not said."

6 1/.;

SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY MoENING.—The royal mail
steamer Teviot, Captain Allan, arrived in the docks at
eight o'clock this morning from the West Indies.
The latest dates she brings are as follow :—Jamaica,

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Last 'Night.)
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were very

Saturday being a holiday, there is nothing to report in
Shares.

The information communicated Vila morning to the me•.--
cantile public, by our Contemp otary the Aforning Herald,
that the Zoliverein Meaty very recently settled is favourable
to British manufactures,. as no increase of duties is to be
made, has given great satisfaction to the merchants here.
Still, however, there are in the minds of many very serious
apprehensions entertained that the news is too good to be true,
especially after a communication which appeared in the Leeds •
lliercury of Saturday last., that the tariir had been altered to
the prejudice t.f our trade. • At all events sanguine expecta—
tions arc entertained that if any change has redly
been tuale, it will not. be so nautical to British in -
terests as was so generally expected some time since.
A rather severe fall has ttaken place in the quotations of
the Funds this morning, brought about principally by sales
of money stock. There was also.a considerable desire shown
to Bear the prices by siilieniators for the Accounts.
There is not any truth in the report that has been
circulate,! _rather freely in the City. that the Se-
rings' Banks depositors have withdrawn largely
their cash for the purpose of making dep ,its upon railway
shares ;,still money to a larger amount is required to pay
dep- allot
sits upon railway. .ents, and this will keep the
market tight for some time to come, no doubt, and the sat ii
f44ery result will be produced of driving out of the market

1 all the trashy schemes for new railways that have been set
( afloat, and also put an end to the concoction of others.
• Since the preceding remarks we're wiitten there has been
a considerable rally in the Stock Market, amounting to not
less than % per cent. Consols haVe recovered from 96% to
971 A for Money, and from 9634 to 97% for the Account.
Every effort possible has been made to excite alann in the
City, but with only temporary success. The attempt to de-
press the market tor Consols and other investments is made
by parties who desire quotations to be very much
lower, so that they may come in upon the most
advantageous terms. The Reduced Three per Cer.t. Annui-
ties have improved from 95% to 991,g, and the New Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents. from 9711( Exchequer-bills
opened at 405., but have rallied to 435. Bank Stock has
advanced to 207.
There were but few bargains quoted in the Foreign Stocks
to-day, end, as was the state of vur own Funds, priced opened
extremely heavily at the commencement of business. The
Portuguese Jour per Cents. have been sold at 531,i, a decline
of 1 per cent.; the Spanish Three per Cents. at 3G ; the
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 58:3i ; and the Mexican
Five per Cents. at 3114
The Railway Share Market has been supported a great
deal better than might have been anticipated. In fact, some
• of the best Shares have improved—such as the Live: pool and
Manchester, the London and Birmingham, the Northern and
Eastern,, &c. The Foreign lines are pretty firm, the fall in
them being slight indeed.

WINDSOR ELECTION.—WINDSC,R, SUNDAY EVEN-'
mo.—The canvass on the part of Cal. Reid and Mr. Walter
is e.xp,cted to be very protracted, in consequence of so large
a number of the electors having refused to make any pro-
mises of support to either of the can lidates. Very little pro-
L7ees was made yesterday, it being market day, and du;
tradesmen being eng%,t,..ed in their different callings. The
writ is expected about the 31 of next moot I:, and the election
to take place on the following Wednesday or Thursday. The
chairman of Sir John de Beauvoir's late comm:tt, e Was en-
rolkd la-.t evening a member of Colonel Iteitrs committee,
upon Ihe recommendation of *Clptain Bulkeley, of the Ist
L iftGuards.
RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—YeAterday morning tig,
early down train from Loodau to this city was detained
about three hours by an acci,lent at Brimscombe Port, near
I"troud. A I:trge stone had fallen from a quarry on the line,
and the engine corning in contact with it was upset, but. for-
tunately no injury was sustained by any person. A fatal
accident occurred to we believe the same train at West
Drayton, by the bursting of the funnel of the Wier, the
fragments from wifizh struck the engineer, George Va-ey,
and ca,ved his death. The trAio, instead of reaching
Glotteezter soon after ten, did nit arrive till nearly one
oiejock.—Gloucester Journal of Saturday.
