dsned the trade Of selling corduroys, and begun
spirited competition with Mr. Sally, in the exhibit
ton of portraits Of the Queen Of England. Itseems
now that their motive for giving $1,000 to Sully 60
to England and take portrait Of the lovely Queen,
was ssrt Of commercial speculation, similar to
those which they engage in, In Birmingham ware or
Manchester goods After receiving their portrait
from Dir. Sully, they endeavored to monopolze the
beauteous Queen, and prevent poor painter from
exercising his talents in another, or exhibiting ore

now sent the painting to Boston, to pick up few
shlings, for fear Mr. Sully should send his picture
there.
