We give in our extracts a full description’of a grand fancy and masquerade ballin England. It is there seen that names are given without hesita- tion; yet here such a publication would be leoked upon with astonishment, if nothing more. ‘The Court has not removed to Claremont as was expected, in consequence of the prevalence of an epidemic in the house. Her Majesty and his Royal ighness Prince Albert remain at Windsor, and have taken their usual out-door airings during the week.

Since the proclamation of June, 1842, a number of the light govereigns, exceeding in amount £10,- 000,000 sterling, has been withdrawn from circu- lation. Calculating the loss on each sovereign to be 8d, the total logs sustained by the public would amount to about £125,000. The weather in England had been remarkabl mild, apple trees in bud and blossom, together wit! polyanthuses, wall flowers, primroses, and daises, in fall bloom, may now be observed in almost all the gardens in the neighborhood of Lancaster.

Thus early, we deem it necessary to urge the prompt attendance of the hiberal Trish members et the opening of the ses- sion.” Tax Reseccaires.—At the Carmarthen Assizes, which began on the 27th December, several rioters came before the court. Many were let off, others were tried on minor offences, and, when convict- ed, recommended to mercy, and altogether the ut- most leniency was shown. The Assizes closed on Monday week, when the men called Shony-sybor- fawr and Die-y-cantwr were sentenced respectively to trasportation for life and for twenty years.— Other prisoners were sentenced to imprisonment for terms varying trom six to twelve months. As a proof of the improvement in trade, and the better condition of the working classes, it may be mentioned that at the close of Saturday’s market at Barnsley, preceding Christmas, every butcher’s shop and stall was cleared of its contents; in fact, ys supply of beef was little above half equal to the pater i Manchester Guardian. The ‘‘National” publishes a letter from Rome, announcing that the utmost distress prevails in that city. Commerce, agriculture, and manufactures are in a deplorable state, and the only income deni- ved by the shopkeepers is from strangers. Mas.

Joint-stock banks have now been es- tablished in London for about ten years. Their paid-up capital exceeds four millions ylee The deposits placed in their hands by the public have ‘been estimated to amount to between six and seven inillions. Their shareholders number apout 3,000 persons, among whom are some of the wealthiest and most respectable men in the kingdom. Prac- tically are denied admission into our courts of justice. Yet these powerful companies are beyond the pale of the law. When a person opens an ac- count with one of these banks, he signs an agree. ment, convenanting to pay to certain other persons therein named, any debts that may become due b him to the bank. ‘These contracts are legally bind- ing, and hence the law provides a loop-hole of es- cepe from the injustice of its own enactments. But is it not a disgrace to the legislature of any civilized country, that such a | hole should be rendered The London joint-stock banks are its te many other banks located in the country age —in Ireland and in the colonies. It is the legiti- mate busii of these banks to draw bills upon their jon agents. But banks in London having re than six partners are not permitted to accept bills drawn ata shorter period than six months after date,while banks not having more than six partners may sony billsdrawn at any term. Is this a proof of the wisdom of the legislature? Is this the im- partiality of the law? Is this such an enactment as 1s consistent with common justice or with common sense?

E The company began to arrive shortly after nine o’clock, and before eleven one of the most bril- liant assemblies that ever graced the Royal Hotel was present, and the ball room had a most enliven- ing and magnificent appearance; nothing could exceed the beauty and cheerfulness of the scene.— Dancing wag maintained with an animated spirit till 120’clock, when supper was announced, which consisted of the most rec ‘che delicacies in abun- dance. The tables were laid out in a style which commanded the approval of all, and too much praise cannot be given to Mr. and Mrs. Elliott for the rich display.

Many of the characters were admirably dressed, and in good keeping; and not the least imposing feature of the company were the presence of a number of British officers in full dress uniform. whose martial appearance afforded some idea o| the “Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war.” The bands of the Royal Marines and of the 75th Regiment were present, and entertained the company by their sweet strains.

His biography would include all the important events connected with the a trade during the last thirty years. Hence we shall confine ourselves to a few remarks on the character and conduct of the deceased.— Howqua was descended from a respectable Fokien family, long resident in the principal black tea dis- trict, and his grandfather was one of the Amoy Hong, who,‘ with the progenitors of sie Can- ton Hong merchants, Poon-ke-qua, Chuncqua, and Minqua, were ordered by the Emperor to remeve to Canton, when all intercourse was forbidden with the English and Dutch at the port of Amoy. How- ua had attained his 75th year when he died, and ‘or a long time had been ina feeble state of health, with an extremely attenuated frame, but with un- impaired intellectual vigor up to his last illness.— His fortune is estimated variously, but it is believ- ed he has large investments in the British and fo- reign funds, and we know that a twelvemonth since one of the most intimate of his foreign friends expressed his belief that Howqua was then worth at least 25,000,000 dollars; except a small portion, the whole is the result of his own industry and en- terprise. Our attack on Canton during the last war inflicted considerable injury on Howqua; the value of the pack-houses and their contents, which were then destroyed, amounted alone to 1,000,000 dollars, and Howqua used to affirm that the war had inflicted on him a loss of 2,000,000dollars. His roportion of the Canton ransom was 800,000 dol- jars. lt was after this event, that he prayed the Emperor to be permitted to retire from his position as Hong merchant, Tespectially tendering at the same time what he called all his wealth, viz. 2,500,000 taels, which he said all accrued to him from the Emperor’s bounty, and supplicated the im- nal willto accord him such portion thereof as its eavenly benevolence deemed fit, to maintain him during the wretched remnant of his life. The peti- tion was refused. It must, however, be observed, that the Chinese government had the greatest con- fidence in Howqua, who to the last retained an in- veterate aversion to new customs and modern fa- shions, whilst he clung with the most conservative tenacity to the old corrupt system by which his vast wealth was mainly accumulated. Howqua was the Tip ape and controller of the Consoo Fund, and the organ of communication between the government and the foreign merchant. He possessed vast power and influence among his coun- trymen, was a large landed proprietor, and had founded and endowed a temple to Budlia, in the suburbs of Canton. It was supposed that the refasal of Howqua’s pra ‘er to retire into private life was owing to the late war, and the claims which the Government might have on his services "at such a crisis; we believe the truth was, that, besides the undeniable influence How- qua possessed, yet his notorious wealth and suc- cess were the cause of his detention. The local mandarins, and perhaps some also at Pekin, were well aware that Howqua was made of squeezeable materials, and as long as he occupied his onerous post they could often test bi gue ities in that re- e f York Minster, restore | spect.

It seems almost No leas than 650 tons of iron have been used in constructing the Dra a Toof at the junction of the Liverpool and Manchester and Manchester and Leeds Railways, at Hunt’s-bank, Manchester. A tablet of white marble is to be erected to the memory of the late Dr. Southey, in the church of Crosthwaite, near Keswick, for which Mr. Words- worth has furnished a poetical inscription. The Prussian Gazette announces that an English engineer, of the name of Shuttleworth, has pro- posed the formation of a railway upon nearly the same plan as the atmospheric railway, substituting water instead of air as the means of producing action. incredible, but not less true, that to the last he di- rected his vast and complicated trade, which al- most encircled the globe, alone. His knowledge and even familiarity with mercantile details con. nected with the trade of foreign ports were truly astonishing ; sound judgment, true prudence, wary cireumspection, and a wise economy, were distin- guishing traits of his mercantile character. By our countrymen Howqua was not liked, his predileo- tions were American, and justly so we think, see- ing that he was indebted at an early stage of his career to a citizen of that count for information he sought in vain from the English; and moreo- ver, the monopoly of the East India Company ren- dered an American association preferable in a pe- guniary sense to any English connexion. It is al- leged by his friends that Howqua would never con- sent to evade the duties, or smuggle any kind of We doubt t! as he had branch houses at Soochow, a cities in China. iardly credible that he could successfully carry on his business there, with com- petitors who did smuggle whenever they had the opportunity, and which the notorious venality of the authorities rendered quite the rule, rather than the exception. In conclusion, we are glad to re- cord a gratifying fact which will embalm the me- mory of old Howqua. Since the difficulties about the opium trade, he has wholly abstained from touching the “ unclean thing.” ‘Directly or indi- rectly, he has unitormly refused again engaging in this traffic, although he might have added millions upon millions to his treasure. This is no mean tes- timony to his patriotism and his respect for the laws and regulations of his country. Asa type of the old regime—as a Chinese Conservative of the “ purest ray serene”—the death of Howgqua will, perhaps, be deemed by his sovereign and country as a positive national Calamity. Friend of China. Tue Gotp Sanp or THE Urat Mountains—Ac- cording to the last intelligence from Siberia the en- terprise of gold washing has extended itselt from the eastern side of the Ural mountains to the Altai, and the layers ot gold sand have been found to ex- tend along the Chinese frontier over a-space of 30,000 square miles, of which the 200th part in the Ural district alone furnishes an average of 300 pouds (the poud is 32 2-3lb) a year—equal to 15,000,000 of paper roubles. Professor Hoffman has observed that the masses of granite, hitherto deemed barren, of which this chain of mountains is composed,con- tain gold. Monster Enaines.—At Fyenoord, near Rotter- dam, two steam-engines have Intelaheen construct- ed of 540 horse power together. They have cylin- ders and pistons 208 inches in diameter, the length of the stroke is about 228 inches ; the boilers weigh 120,000 Ibs, and can hold about the same weight of water. The whole apparatus weighs about 800,000 Netherland [ser several pieces weighing 20,000 and 27,000 lbs of iron were melted to cast them. There is no defect in any part of the surface, and the whole is made with mathematical accuracy. Some new engines of equal power, but on a differ- ent system, are also to be made in this manufactory for the French navy, and to be ready for the spring. Several engines of 100 to 300 horse power are or- dered for Russia. AnecpoTe or Victoria.—Whilst under the pro- cess of learning her A BC, the princess evinced no usual degree of curiosity to ascertain the utility of being so tormented. ‘ What good this—what good this?” was her frequent inquiry; and, when satisfied ‘* that mamma could know all that was contained in the great book on the table because she knew her letters, whilst the little daughter could not ;” the little lady replied, ‘I learn, too— I learn, too—very quick !”” and, it is added, she so quickened her pace in learning and articulation, as soon to become mistress of the alphabet. Dr Tanti Pavritt.—The anecdote of the “Aria del rizi” (the rice air) belongs to Tancredi. Ros- sini had composed an air which la Malanote, then in the pride of her beauty and her talent, re- fused to sing, signifying her objection only two nights before that of the performance, — The poor young man returned pensively to his small inn.

They would have been satistied, perhaps, with a majority of Repeal- ers; and as, in the eyes of such men, agitation for repeal is not acrime, but a virtue, however strong the evidence against the parties accused, the ver- dict must inevitably have been one of Sonus ‘The complainers, however, are not without plan- sible pretences to support their charge of unfair- ness on the part of the crown. ‘They allege that the special jury list has been tampered with, many names of Roman Catholics being left off that ought to be on. This is acharge easily made, and we dare say, on investigatiou, would be found to be al- together without foundation, or based only, on some trivial and purely accidental errors, ‘That any fraud has been practised 1s in the highest degree improbable ; first, because of the certainty of de- tection, and secondly, because of the absence of any adequate motive. Nothing, comparatively speaking, was to be gained by the omission of for- ty, or even ninety names—for the story is not told with anything like precision—from a list compris- ing (minus the forty or ninety) 717 names, of which number the Conservatives, capable of serving, amount to 556, and the Liberals to 172. Add the largest number of names said to be improperly ex- cited, and the Conservatives are still in a majori- ty of more thantwo toone. Another grievance, Lowever, js digeovered From the list of 717, a ju of 48 is taken by lot ; and from the 48, the solicitor on either side, accord to the provisions of the statute, strikes off 12, with- out assigning any reason. Itis found that}11 of the 48 were RomanCatholics, and that these are with- out exception struck off by the crown solicitor, At once “ astonishment and indignation pervade all classes of the Catholic citizens,” and, ‘a greater act of folly, injustice, and indecency,” it is de- clared, “was never committed even in Ireland.” Now, that the crown solicitor would have been jus- tified in objecting to any juror simply on the ground | form of his being a Roman Catholic, we are not prepared to assert.

His qualification for civil offices, was, we are told, ob- literated. . This isa question, however, that we are not call- ed upon to discuss. The case admits of full and factory explanation upon other grounds. Every one of the 12 jurymen objected to, it appears, is & member of the Repeal Association. It was as Re- pealers, then, and not as Roman Catholics, that they were struck off the panel. And who will say that it was wrong to strike them off, or that it would have been anything but the grossest breach of duty in the law officer of the crown to have allowed them to .emain? They were themselves implicated in the charge upon which theyiwere called to ad- they could have given an impartial judgment upon it?’ Could a trial under such circumstances have been anything better than a mere mockery? Let athousand witnesses have been brought to prove the charges in the indictment, and what would have been the effect of their testimony upona Ke- peal juryman ? What evidence would serve to con- vince him of the criminality of an act to which he had himself been a party? ‘‘If,” as our talented metropolitan contemporary, the Standard, un- answerably observes, “their be guilt in the acts charged against the traversers, every member of the Repeal Association is in specie, though not in degree, as guilty as the gentlemen named in the in- dictment.

Larrrre anp THe Paris Srupents.—The fol- ing is from the Moniteur:—A certain number of students, which may be estimated at about 300, re- paired, on Saturday, to the house of M. Laffitte, to congratulate him on the speech which he recent- ly pronounced in the Chamber of Deputies, On issing before Moliére’s monument, in the Rue ichelieu, they reperieny cried ‘Vive Moliére.’ After waiting on M. Laffitte, they resolved to pro- ceed to Passy, to visit M. Berenger. They stopped a moment on the Boulevards, before the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and cried, ‘Down with Guizot,’ but those clamors immediately ceased on the in- junction of the Commissary of Police, who watch- ed their movements. Having partly dispersed at this point, they soon afterwards formed again in the Rue Royale, and marched in the direction of Passy. M. Bérenger, however, was absent fiom home. Inthe main street of Passy, the Commis. sary of Police,who had not for an instant lost sight of the rioters, was insulted, and several of the eres who accompanied him were ill-treated. Ten of the authors of those violences were here arrest- ed, and the remainder pipers a The National and Kétorme publish the speech addressed to M. Laffitte by the deputation of stu- dents who waited upon him in the name of their comrades. It is as follows:— “Phe youth of the schools entirely concur in the bold truths which you exposed from the national tribune. They do not come to congratulate you on having cou- rageously accomplished the duty of a good citizen, of having obeyed the noble dictates of your conscience asa public man—they come only to afford an additional proof that they are not so indifferent as the Ministry affect to be- lieve to the affairs of the country. A portion of the Par- liament responded to your prophetic words by irony and insult; but all France {snow in possession of them through the press, and will faithfully preserve them asa socred i he day when, bursting asunder the chains with which it is sought to restrain them, they will resume with a firmer pace their course towards the destinies to which they are called. France has not forgotten the im- mense part you took inthe Parliamentary struggles of the Restoration—those memorable struggles which pre- pared the overthrow ofan abhorred dynasty, They know that the popularity of your name served as a pedestal on which to raise a new dynasty. You have since publicly, and in the face ef France, demanded pardon from God and man for the part you acted on that occasion. History, se- vere and inexorable matory; will assign to each his true position, and stigmatize the :eal culprite with deserved opprobrium. Before leaving this ever celebrated hotel, the cradle and the centre of our revolution of three days, permit the youthful generation now crowding around you to express one wish in your presence. The Opposition of 1815 was organized and disciplined. Let the present Opposition adopt a similar organization, and advance like one man. By this means it will acquire an irresistible force, and the whole country, that army of 84,000,000 men, will array itself in a mass under its banners. M. Laffitte replied— “Gextirmen—I am affected by the sentiments you have just expressed and thank you for them. Your pa triotism, intelligence, and courage are long known to me, and you may not have forgotten that, notwithstanding the clamors ofthe present ruling party, I already paida well merited and solemn tribute etlustice to your services, and to the devotion you had evinced at another period. The revolution of July had then the upper hand, which she has since lost throngh the ingratitude of some, and the in- difference of others. You know the disrespect now shown to thosewho have remained faithful to 1ts*promises and en- gagements I reminded the Chamber of its responsibility in presence of the perils with which we are menaced, and the corruption which debases us. As for me, gentlemen, Tam nearer the tomb than any of you of your cradle; but, to the last, I will discharge my duty; and my heart, f ledge my honor to you, shall never cease to beat for li- berty and the happiness of France.” The National estimates at from 1,000 to 1,200 the number of young men who waited on M. Laffitte. At any other time this aflair would have injuri- ously affected the funds, but we find by our Paris letter that the Three per Cents rose (comparative- ly with the closing price of Saturday) 124 centimes; namely, to 82f. 72ke. It appears that on Friday the Minister of Finance informed the Committee that it was his intention to present the Budget for the year 1845 in the course of the present month. He added,that there would not only be a surplus of revenue to the amount of 800,000f. over the expenditure for the last year, but that the various deficiencies for the years 1840; 1841, 1842, and 1843, would be reduced to a sum of 350,000,000f. The draught of the Address,in reply to the King’s Speeeh, was agreed to, and the Chamber has been summoned for Monday to hear it read. ‘The Presse states, that the report of the demise of the Duke d’Angouleme was circulated in Paris on Saturday, but thatthe news was not confirmed. (Our private letter contradicts it positively.) Prison Discrriine in Fraxce.—The Moniteur publishesa report, addressed by M. Duchatel, Min- ister of the Interior, to the King, in which he de- monetrates “the injustice of supp! ving. to criminal convicts, at the expense of society, which they had disturbed, abundant and wholesome food, clothing, bedding—in a word, all the requisites of life, an leaving them free (as they are by the existing law) to dispose ot two-thirds of the proceeds of their la- bor.” The Minister suggests the necessity for re- orming “such an abuse,” and Tecomments in fa- ture the following distribution of the earnings of the convicts, (and which has been sanctioned by a royal ordinance, aud to take effect on the Ist inst.) The portion granted out of the produce of their la- bor to cnmi detained in the central houses of correction shall be hereafter 3-10ths to those con- demned to hard labor; of 4-10ths to those sentenced to reclusion, and 5-10ths to prisoners confined for more than a year. The proportion will be still more reduced for those committed for a second offence. The earnings of the prisoners are to be divided into two equal portions, the one to be applied to their use during their captivity, and the other reserved for the period of their liberation. According to the report of the Minister of the In- terior, the prisoners in the central houses of correc- tion on the Ist of July, 1843, amounted to 19,212, vu Adult males condemned to hard labor, 60; condemned to reclusion,4,092; condemned to more than one year, 10,194— 14,336. Adult females condemned to hard laber, 915; con- demned to reclusion, 690; condemned to imprisonment, 2,616—4,011.—Total, 18,347. Young prisoners, boys, 742; girls, 128—865.—Grand total, 19,212. Of these, 7,880 had been previously convicted— namely, 6,486 men, and 1,344 women. Under the then existing system no distinction e: d between them and the prisoners condemned for a first of- fence. “According to the new ordinance, 965 of the 18,347 adult prisoners will receive 3-10ths of the amount of their labor, 4,672 4-10ths, and 12,710 5-l0ths or one-half, ‘The labor of the convicts pro- duced, in 1842, 2,200,000f, and in 1843, 2,300,000t. The Treasury only stopped out of the amount for 1842, 730,000; but, according to the provisions of the new ordinance, the portion accruing to the State will be 1,320,000f, which will diminish the burdens of the budget by at least 600,000f per an- hum. Sunstrrute ror Stgam.—La R éforme announces that an operative at Ruel has discovered a substi- tute for steam. The experiment is to be made in a few days on the Versailles railroad. Figure to ourself, says the Réforme, an enormous wheel, five yards in diameter, between the mone of which you place a horse with his rider. ‘Thislarge wheel being fixed on four ordinary wheels, placed on the rails of a railroad, it is sufficient to turn the large wheel to make the carriage advance. But what motive force does the inventor employ? It is the horse placed in the interior of the wheel, and yoked, by means of two bars of iron placed per- pendicularly under the axle. ‘The horse, by draw- Ing, causes the wheel to turn in the same manner as a mouse or a squirrel ina cage. In order toper- mit the horse to enter into this singular wheel, it has been found necessary to dig an excavation near the station of the railroad, into which the horse is let down. The inventor pretends that he can mo- dify his wheel so as to admit three horses, and that in that case, the heaviest train may be propelled along arailroad with a velocity more rapid than that caused by steam. Spain. Our accounts from Madrid of the Ist instant, an- nounce the arrival in that capital of Mr. Henry Lyt- ton Bulwer, the new British Envoy. ‘The entrée of the British Envoy, Mr. H. L. Bul- wer, in Madrid, gave rise toa rumor that the Queen Mother had come, but the direction of the carriages to the Embajada Inglesa, in the Calle de Alcala (no longer the “Calle de la Duque de la Vic~ toria,” for Narvaez has changed all that,) soon convinced the most incredulous on the Puerta del Sol that Maria Christina was not one of the travel- lers. Well-informed people here believe that her journey is relin ished for the present, and state, asthe best collateral evidence, that the father, mother, and brother of Munoz, (who arrived here some time ago,) are preparing to return to Paris immediately. The Gazette of to-day contains the appoint- ment of Don Francisco Martinez de la Kosa as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the King of the French. ‘His brother eas was, on the 27th ult., appointed Director General of Pri- sons, a noted favorite of Lopez (Don Jose Pin- dulles,) having been set aside to make room for him. These nominations, or rather acceptances of place under Narvaez, indicate a favorable change of opinion in the mind of Don Francisco, whoa week ago did not think it worth his while to proceed to Paris, lest he should, ere his arrival there, be recalled or sent adrift by those who might come into office at the head of some new intrigue or supplementary insurrection. But now that the Cortes has been suspended, and ‘‘ a strong govern- ment of fixed bayonets” established, he has, we are assured, made up his mind that it is likely to be “all right” at Madrid until next quarter day at least, Meanwhile he follows the excellent prece- dent set by Senor Olozaga, of taking his salary in advance. “A; of the latter fallen meteor, we learm that the new Minister for Foreign Affairs, Luis Gonzales Bravo, has addressed a note to Costa Cabral, requesting that he may be sent out of Portugal! An imprudent step in many respects, as there is no saying how soon some individuals now high in power (or, ut least, high in office,) may feel happy in the opportunity of ‘‘ once more” enjoying a ne retreat in that country. The Ist being a holyday, the Bourse remained closed. Morocco.

The Aga Skan- der, Commander of the Tunisian camp, had also retired. The Commission charged with the fixa- tion of the limits had terminated its labors. France lays claim to the country as far as Cape Roux, be- tween Tarbarque and Ja Calle ; and the Bey runs his Line from the wells of la Calle. Greece. Our accounts from Athens are to Dec. 21, The address on the speech from the throne has been adopted. It is drawn upina very moderate spirit. Some amendments, proposed by a small opposition, which demanded particular mention of the 15th of September, were rejected by immense majorities. In the capital and its vicinity some excesses were committed. On the 11th an attempt was made to set fire to the hall of the National Assembly; but fortunately it was frustrated. On the 19th the hotel of the Minister for ForeignAflairs was burnt down, The paperstand archives were saved. There ap- pears to be no foundation for the report that the baikling was wilfully set on fire. Our German papers are found to confirm the statement in our Malta correspondence, that dis- turbances hag occurred in Athens. ussia and Cirenssia. We have received Paris papers of Sunday, Jan. 7, with letters from several of our correspondents, including a very interesting one from Mosdok, on the Black Sea, which shows that, although repul- sed in an attack bwhich they made with inferior force, the Circassians are still carrying on a suc- cessful offensive war against the Russians.

At the commencement of 1843, although stocks of the raw material were not large, yet importers were subjected to such heavy losses from the low rate of prices ruling in the consuming markets, that a ve contracted importation for the year was expected ; whilst the low price of provisions, and the rally favorable aspect of our commercial negotiations t, led to the hope of an extended trate abroad, with increased means of consumption at home. Both these anticipations have been realized. With a diminished import, we have experienced a considerable increased demand, both for the home and foreign markets. During the early months of the year, the transactions were characterised by the utmost caution, both in the purchase of the raw material and the scrupulous avoidance of any accumulation of goods on the part of the manufucturers. This continued up to June, prices fluctuating about 5 percent, with a mo- derate amount of business doing. About this period, the prospect of the approaching harvest being favorable, » ively action in business commenced,which has continued unabated to the present time, It is gratifying to rewark, that, whilst the consumption is greater than, pe before known, the trade is healthy and principally to order, ni and wi oxi yen a good demand for Scotch er remember, at this pe- ng in farmers’ hi tanding the unusually ‘ket was quite bare. — wools since the clip, lod of the year, #0 little indeed, in the country. } large import into Liverpool, the The advance on Laid Highland Cheviot about 16 per cent, und on White Cheviot and Cross 10 to 15 per cent. ester, Jan. 11 sequence of the unexpecte avery heavy business has been done at } to ¥ vance.
