NEW YOR HERALD. » York, Thursday, April 25 1444. exation Me-ting—Attempted Distacbance. A full report of this singular meeting, which pre- ented a strange scene of disturbance, will be round n another column. Ic would seem that the spirit of misrule has broken out simultaneously both in New York and Wash- | ington. Notwithstanding the great crowd at the Tabernacle last night, we are disposed to think that the people of this city—ot this community—of this country, are in favor of *annexing Texas—in favor of annexing Oregon—yea, even of Mexico herself, Canada, and all North America from the Isthmus to the North Pole. Congress—Hiot in the House of Representa. tives, Our accounts from Washington last night are of the most painful and disgraceful character. It seems thot on Tuesday morming, in a debate in- volving the opinions of Mr. Clay on the tariff, a quarrel took place between two of the members, which increased in a few seconds to a regular row, or miniature riot, in which blows and bad language were exchanged with great liberality, within the bar of the House, and during one of its regular sit- tings. Such conduct,*on any pretence whatever, is ut- terly disgraceful to the Hovse of Representatives— to the present Congress—to the nation at large— to the very age and time of day. It can only be paralleled in the British House ef Commons, or in the legislative assemblies of France, during the most excited periods of revolutionary explosions— and in ages less enlightened—less moral—less in- telligent than the present in all that confers dignity on human nature. A full account from various sources, of these dis- reputable scenes, will be found under the proper head of this day’s paper. In the meantime, what is to be done to reclaim the character of the House of Representatives, and blot out the black spot on its reputation ? Some- thing should be done stronger than soap and water —why should not such brawlers and rioters be for- mally expelled by the orderly and reputable seat back to their constituents, Jabelled “ broken crock- ery”? The business of the nation can never be well done, or even done at ail, in the midst of such disreputable scenes—scenes that would dishonor the Five Points. Indeed, up to this time, Congress has done little or nothing ‘They have spent near- ly five months without a single efficient act. Is this to continue for ever? The representatives of the rogaery of the Five Points, now in session at the States Prison at Sing Sing, are more industri- ous, orderly and useful, than the representatives of the honesty and virtue of the nation, now assem- bled in the stately capitol at Washington. The world is turned upside down Mr. Van Buren anp tue Democracy.—The “*Richmond Enquirer” takes too much pains to contradict a rumor, given by one of our Washing- ton correspondents, to the effect that many of the democrats in Congress were anxious to withdraw Mr. Van Buren from the position of a candidate. This idea—that Mr. Van Buren might not be the democratic candidate of the Baltimore Conven- tion—has been originated and inculcated by the blockheads of Washington, through the letter writers, but it is as great a delusion as that enter- tamed by John Jones, that Captain Tyler can be a candidate, or can supplant Van Buren. The nom- ination of Van Buren by the democratic Conven- tion of the 27th May, is just as certain as that of Mr. Clay by the whig Convention of the 4th of May. Nothing can change or prevent this issue but the death of either of the candidates—the day of judg- ment—the swallowing up of the republic by an earthquake—or the sudden approach of Miller’s Millennium, That issue will make one of the pret- test fights—the most desirable contests—the most eqial match that ever took place since that of ad Adams. it will be a fight un huown principles and measures—with little reference to men, coonery, or hickory humbug. None can hon- estly say a word ugainst the average personal char- acters of Clay or Van Buren. They are both preity fair representatives of the morality, religion, piety, honesty, and chivalry of the age. So, goto work. Jeilerson Nationa Acapemy or Desian.—The nineteenth annual exhibition of this valuable and flourishing association was opened to the public yesterday.— We made a cursory visit to the rooms, and were much gratified in finding that the number of exhi- bitors has considerably increased, and that the works admitted present the evidences of a decided and marked improvement on preceding years. AS may be expected, the portraits form much the larg- est proportion of the works exhibited, but the trashy ones ure comparatively few, and there are many very excellent ones. In landscapes, the exhibition this year is unusually rich, and there are several very excellent compositions. Inman, Ingham, Mooney and others, amongst the portrait painters, and Durand, Livingston, and others whom we shall notice hereafter, amongst the landscape painters, have contributed some very choice pictures. The rooms were crowded yesterday, and so they doubtless will continue. They afford one of the most delighttul lounges inthe city. We intend hereafter noticing all the most deserving pictures in the exhibition, and in the meantime recommend all the lovers and friends of native art in this city to procure season tickets at once, which have, in or- der to throw open this fine collection to all, been put so low as fifty cents. At Clinton Hall, the splendid exhibition of paint- ings by the old Italian masters, continues to attract great attention. A great many artists and ama- teurs are engaged in copying, and the room pre- sents Immense attractions to all lovers of art, af- fording to vieiters at the Academy a fine opportani- ty of contrasting the works of modern artists with the immortal painters of the old school. Tue Opera. We have been requested by Signor De Begnis and also by Signor Martini, which we do cheerfully, to state that the withdrawal of Valtelli- na’s wardrobe did not delay the Opera till Monday next. We did not mean to say that that was the sole cause. It seems, however, that his (Valtelli- na’s) wardrobe comprehended no dresses for the Barbiere. Valtellina himself has sent us an imper- tinent note on the subject, which can be returned to him at the desk of this offi Litter Later rrom Haytt.—The schooner Gen. Scott, arrived at Holmes’ Hole, on the 22nd inst., in 19 days passage from St. Domingo. When she sailed, St. Domingo was in the hands of the rebels, but the President was advancing with a large force to re-capture it. He was subju- gating all the small rebellious places on his march thitherward, [t was his intention to surround the city, cut off supplies, and then bombard it into sub- jection, There has been, therefore, by this time some hard fighting, as the Spaniards had a force of about 15,000 men, to bear against the President and his army QuaRREL amonG THE PRovessors.—We see a reat fuss made about some misunderstanding be- tween Professor Gouraud, the artificial-memory man, and a Mr. Hardinge and Mr. Branch. They are quarrelling about nothing. ‘This system,of ac- quiring artificial memory is nothing new.

It is hardly werth our while to continue a con- ’| treversy with the miserable, contemptible creature | Wikofl, while we are preparing to show the whole history of his career in this country, and the utter | worthlessness of his character so far as regards us, | by a correspondence written by his own hand, ex- tending to nearly fifty letters, the most of which we | have just collected after a rigid search amongst our papers. A controversy with such a chevalier hard- ly rises to the level of an equality with that which has recently appeared in our columns, between Signor Santangelo and SignorAntognini, in relation to the damage done to a few chinacups and saucers Of all the fights and contests in which we have been engaged, this is the meanest, most centempti- ble, and most farcical. However, we suppose we must go through it and finish it. The last arucle which this creature has publish- ed in the “Pig and Whistle Gazette”—established by himself for the purpese of reforming the morals of this country, by the importation of a few cock- | neysand other animals that browse on the commons round about London—is a very amusing and ridicu- | lous thing. He has abandoned the respectable | “waiters of Long’s Hotel,” and comes out with his own “‘affidavy” sworn before ‘S. M. Merritt, special Justice of New York, this 22d day of April,” and what does he swear to? That he knows certain persons in London, and that he procured from the Lord Chamberlain an order for our admis- sion into Buckingham Palace, whilst we gave the very note of the party that did that. He also swears that he accompanied us on several occasions. That wewill swear to also,with the additional clause that he took pretty good care never to pay any hack-hire when he could avoid it. He also swears that he spent and lost over $10,000 on Fanny Elssler during the time that she was in_ this coun- try. Well, Fanny told us when in London, that she lost $20,000 by some mysterious process or another, without designating it. So, then, this Pla- tonic affection, or relationship, for we conceive it was perfectly spiritual, and had no wrong in it that we could ever discover, cost Fanny Elssler, on one side $20,000, and Wikofl, on the other, $10,000, making the amount of the mutual Platonic expen- diture $30,000. A pretty expensive Platonic aflec- tion, we should think. But the best joke of all was his first oath, in which he swears that Fanny Elsslerstill loves him, and respects him and esteems him. Then, why the devil didn’t he comply with her desire, as he says, when she wanted him to marry her? He gave her every reasen to believe by his conduct in this couniry—by the $10,000 that he spent in her very much in love, and that he meant all this to eventuate in marriage. Why did he not fulfil those expectations which his conduct excited in her warm and aflectionate bosom? Why did he de- clare off, and pick a quarrel with her in London? Why did he ‘conduct this quarrel with great vigor,” as he says, and end in ‘a final explosion?” This is not the conduct of a chevalier in matters of Platonic affection and love, and particularly when that love costs on one side $20,000, and on the other side $10,000, which two sums added together make $30,000—a pretty heavy item in the Court of Love. Thus much on this point. As to his other points, they are of no sort of mo- ment. He talks of two persons, once in our office, who are ready to swear to something about Ma- cready. Bring them torth. Let us have their tes- timony to anything which he has represented, and we will convict them both of being common liars. We dare him to produce these persons. Who are they? Who are these disreputable persons who once ate our bread and drank of our cup, and were fostered by our patronage, and yet would go to such a miserable creature as this and detail false- hoods? Let us know their names. Who are they? But this extraordinary outburst of violence, pas- sion, crimination and abuse, which this chevalier has attempted to pour forth against us, is one of the meanest and most contemptible exhibitions of human nature that probably was ever made, and this we shall make manifest to the public by his own documents, in a day or two, when we shall commence the publication of his correspondence throughout the whole of his career in this country. Up to the very moment that we left London, last summer, he pretended friendship and devotion to our interest, and it was not until after his ac- quaintance with Duff Green, in London, and when between them they began to talk and cast about for the best mode of starting a new paper in New York, that this defamation and belying and at- tempted injury of my character, in both hemis- pheres, commenced on the part of Wikoff, this being supposed to bea necessary step in the es- tablishment of ‘‘The Pigand Whistle.” We doubt whether Duff Green ever so far descended from his usual manly conduct as to defame us in Lon- don. But we have no reason to doubt that Wikoff, while professing friendship, was sys tematically endeavoring, as much as his poor abilities would enable him, to undermine us. And even on his arrival in this coun- try a few weeks ago, and only two or three days after he left the steamboat at Boston, this man had the audacity to call in a friendly way at our house, to profess the same feeling that he had al- ways entertained by his own showing, and even to propose uniting with us in the payment of expenses of expresses from Boston and elsewhere. We saw throngh the poor, miserable, contemptible wretch, and treated him with that coolness and “contempt which he justly deserved. The whole of this business is a miserable trick to attempt the establishment of a ricketty concern of a newspaper, by creating a little pen, Sa in rejation to Fanny Elssler, and the great trouble and pains we took to help her to make a fortune in this country. On the publication of the Wikoff correspondence, all this will appear perfectly clear. Evgction.—To-day this election The result will be looked for with VirGinta takes place. interest.

That appropriation was exhausted during the last autumn, and it was owing to that fact that the public works in the various navy yards were sus- pended and the workmen discharged. “This was at the time unjustly attributed to an unfriendly feeling towards the service, on the part of the Government. So far from this being true, every possible effort was made by the Department to realize ‘the necessary means of employ- ment forthe workmen, by tie sale of condemned and un- available materials, ‘The President recommended a trans- fer of appropriations with the same view, and has again requested authority to use for the like object, funds in the treasury, the proceeds of ales above referred to Thave deemed it a matter of official duty, to much, in explanatlon of the cause of dela: stance to which you have alluded, as well a a similar nature; and to remove the impress on, if any such exists, that this agency does not act promptly, to the extent of its ability, in paying for services rendered the Government.

He has done all that was in his power to do in the matter complained of, and it now rests with Congress. It is to be hoped that that body will throw aside its petty squabbles for a day or two, and pass appropriations sufficient to pay off our hard-working pilots, and all other debts against the Navy Department. That part of our government has fallen into disrepute by the inac- tion of Congress, and hundreds of laborers thrown out ofemployment. This produced a good deal of ill-feeling against the President and his cabinet, who had no more to do with their troubles than at Congress compelled them to have.

Superior Court. Before Judge Ovkley. Aprit 24 —John Elwell vs. William F, Schmidt —This was an action of covenant ona charter party. ‘The de- fendent chartered the brig Northerner to take a full cargo from the port of New York to the port of Marseilles, in France, for which he was to pay $2600 in American cur- rency. It was also stipulated hy the charter party that defendent should put on deck 300 barrels rosin and tur- pentine, and that the cargo was to be delivered as per bills of lading. Before the brig left port, it was alleged b: plaintif, the captain remonstrated with the defendar against shipping the rosin and turpentine,the vessel b then already too deeply laden. ‘The defendant persist and shipped the rosia and turpentine. The brig got as far as Gibraltar in safety, but after met with very rough weuther, and it became necessary for the safety of the crew aud vessel to throw 251 barrels of the resin over- board ; after this she arrived at her port of destination in safety, and the remainder of the cargo was delivered in good order. The defendant paid $1778, retaining his hands the difference between this sum and the $2000 as compensation for the rosin and turpentine thrown over- board. For that balance the action is brought. On the part of the plaintiff’ it is contended that according to mer- cantile usage the word cargo in the “charter party” does not refer to, or mean the goods on deck ; that,therefore,the plaintiff is entitled to the full sum of $2000 upon the de- livery of the cargo below deck according to the bills of jading On the other hand, the defendant contends that the word “cargo” in the charter party, means the goods ondeci as well as below, and they hot having been de livered, he is not bound to pay the full amount. The Judge directed a verdict for the plaintiff, subject to the opinion of afull Court on the jegal meaning of the term cargo. For plaintiif—Mr. © 8. Williams. For defendant—Mr. N.D. Ellingwood.

Lawrence, the defendant’s intestate, and passed to plain. til. The endorser died shortly after endorsing the note, and the action was brought against plaintiff as his admin- istrator. After the plaintiff's case was closed, the defendant's counsel moved for a non suit, on the ground that notice of demand or protest was not proved. ‘The Court denied the motion, and directed the Jury to find a verdict for plaintiff, subject toa case to be made on the question of notice and demand for the opinion of a full Court.

Michael Murphy, a naturalised American citizen, aged 22, employed as a se man on board the brig ) of Bath, Maine, came ashore yesterday inthe brig’s boat with his captai and landed af the steps in front of the office of the Captain of the Port. ‘The captain ordered t and this unfortunate youn; holdi bout to wait for him, man was sitting on the steps, onto the boat, when the corporal of the guard ned near there, came up and ordered him off, stri ¢ him at the same time with his sword Murphy raised an oar to ward off the blows of the sword, and jumped it to his boat, and was in the act of pushing off, when the corporal s steps he fell into the water. Irritated at this, he ordered the sentinel on guard near the landing to fire on the boat, which he did at once with deliberate aim, shooting the unfortunate man through the head, causing almost in- stant death. ‘This was done in open noon day, in the pre: sence of hundreds of people of all nations, every one of whom pronounced it the foulest deed he had ever witnes- sed. In less than one hour afterthe murder, every foreign vessel in port had her colors at half mast, as amark of in dignation for the outrage, and respect for the rights of men. Our worthy consul, on hearing of the murder, ad- dressea a note to the Governor, and proceeded at once on board the brig, where the body had been carried ; and as ry American feels deeply the insult, it has been de- cided that the body shall be embalmed and sent to the United States, to sleep in the soil of his adopted land. ‘To- day the ber) have all again hoisted their colors half mast, and the affair is being investigated by the Govern. ment. Religious Anniversarics. J.G, Benserr, Esq. Dean Sir: The commencement of the Religious Anniversa- ries is approaching rapidly, but the opening of the campaign this season is left to our sister city, Brooklyn. On, Wednesday next, the new and splendid Unitarian Church (the church of the Sa- viour) is to be dedicated,and on the following day, the Rev. Mr. Farley is to be installed as the pastor, It is expected that a large delegation of ministers and friends will be present from Boston and vie ty, as well as from this city, and invitations have been sent to the pastors of the various churches im Brooklyn to be extended to their societies, though it is said that in almost every case they have care- fully abstained from reading them, A programme of the whole affair is said to be printed and in ciren- lation. For one, I hope you willkeep your eye on this movement and give it to the public, Homer. Mr. Eprror:— il? as i It is quite allowable at a public dinner, amidst “the flow of soul,” that praise should extend to ad- ulation, and even descend to blarney; but we have seldom met a better instance of both adulation and blarney being made the vehicle of satire, than in one of the speeches and toasts at the St. George’s dinner— ‘The British Consul hoped that he (Sir Richard Paken- ham) would establish, as a precedent for action among all diplomatists, at least of Great Britain and America, that glorious principle, which old England has ever claime? as her own—"Honesty is the best policy "—(Loud cheera.) ‘The reporter must be wrong—was it not lond laughter?) mit me to offer you a toast.

French milliners and dressmakers, also may be seen toiling in emulation to secure thiscommenda- ble confidence; yet in spite of their most praise- worthy eflorts, no farther have they gone than to bring to New York the fashions of the preceding season. This assertion, which, to those but a lit- tle familiar with the habits of Parisian ladies, may appear a little problematical, is as clear as the day- light for thosewho know the fact that the fashionable world of Paris does not display their spring gaities before the holidays ot Longehamps ; and for that epoch, consecrated to worship and indebted to, fashion, are reserved all the coquettish nee of Parisian dames—all the marvellous productions ela- borated in the temple of taste. At that charming promenade which includes the whole Elysian Fields from the Piace de la Concorde to the Bar- riere de Etoile, is witnessed the display ot every- thing which can come under the denomination of | novelty. Onthe three celebrated days, also, the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of holy week, | many a fair head has its dreams; beauty, elegance and taste there reign sovereign, and yet pay their submissive tribute of respect to Parisian fashion, the universal queen. y There the Dutchess rells in her new equipage, the rich citizen displays his dazzling equipments, while the humble householder approaches with measured step and unique hat, destined to serve for the remainder of the season; then, again, we see the second class milliner and dressmaker, co: expressly to study the chef d’auvres of arts per! tion. Not one, evento the simple peasant girl, who is willing to risk her 15 franes, destined, per- haps, to buy her a head dress, for the sake of going to Longchamp’s, not one who would not do the same. It must be admitted, from all this, that it isa great pity that our beautiful American ladies, be- fore garnishing their wardrobe with the fashions of spring, cannot procure more recent information. Holy week, let it be observed, sometimes slow and tardy in coming. whilst in this country, favored by heaven, spring developes her treasures ot luxuriant vegetation under an almost. summer’s sun, before | Paris has thrown aside her hoar frost mantle. ‘The | chapeaua; of autumn fade away, and every belle | slows with a wish to surround her pretty face with a newer and lighter material.

I published my reply in Italian to his ridiculous receipt, because it was written in that language, ‘ I have considered—and my readers will alo think with me—that to return a letter unopened is an action worthy only of alow-minded person, I have kept “the note” in my hands, in order that any one may sce its contents, and know whether it contains or not “vulgar and mendacious TT. | provocations.” I do not hesitate to repeat, that the said “Old Chief of tho Bedouins” has confessed to me that he has published libels more then once. If those libels were to defend his honor, why did the court condemn him to five days impri- sonment and to pay filty dollars? I consent that the pub- lic should decide on my conduct towards this person, and He says he ordered me to leave his house because he did not consider me a gentleman. This is not 80; as, in the presence of his family, he told me that he was very sorry to lose my company, but that some one wished to hire my room by the year,’ as | said in my last article.

But, notwithstanding that, he keeps thirty dollars in his pocket for nine day’s board, and pretends to be generous ! T did not hire the room by the month, because my pro- fessional duties would not permit me to take it for any given period. ‘This person asked me half a dollar for the room, and hulfa dollar for hoarding, making one dollar a day. ‘I should have added, that if he wanted to lease my room to another person, that 1 would be obliged to pay the whole month. He knows well that this agreement was made between him and myself, when no one was present, and therefore I know net how Mr. Plunkett can certify to facts when he was not present to hear the arrangement made by us. “Thave nothing to add, but that he would‘do better to leave ‘me alone, or” With much re: Your ol Mr. Bennett, edient servant, CERILLO ANTOGNINI LADIES OF GOOD TASTE, WHO ARE DIS- fignred by hair or furze on the face, neck or arms, or a he Chinese Eraticator, which will remove them entirely, without producing the least irritation or smarting, oF staining the skin, leaving it soft and delicate, at Comstock’s, 21 Courtlandt st. {iG-WHAT IS SICKNESS ?—It is the retention of morbid matters in the system.

Boats passingthrough the intermediate places are not inelnded in these returns. ‘We have received a copy of the bill to provide for warehousing certain goods, wares, and merchaniise.— ‘The principal provisions of the bill are that goods sub- ject to a duty may be put into the public warehouse and remain two years withont any charge except expenses actually incurred. Goods can be withdrawn on payment of the duties in cash, except all manufactures of cotton and wool exclusively, or both materials combined, which can be warehoused for exportation only, All merchan- dise to be warehoused at the risk of the owner. ‘The books for subscription to the stock of the New York and Erie Railroad are open at No. 34 Wall street. ‘The position of the Cotton Market of this city, at this moment, is any thing but pleasing to those holding large stocks. ‘The decline already experienced and the prospect of a farther falling off must make bankrupt many of those who have limited resources. The advances made on cotton held here, were so close up to tle value before the late decline, thet forced sales must fail to realise the amount invested. The new crop of cotton is now estimated at 2,000,000 bales. The quantity already known is 1,699,585 bales, against 2,010,757 at the same time last year. The stock at the latest dates wus 692,271 bales against 392,942 at the same time last year. Estimating the receipts for the re- mainder of the season to bethe same as last year, the yield of the new crop will not fall far short of 2,000,000 bales. Calculations were made in England reaching th amount which, in a great measure, caused the decline in prices. ‘The exclusive advices from Europe received by us, in relation to the new commercial treaty made between the United States and the Germen Contederation, by owe Min. Inter at Deskin, is ane of the most important movements that has been made fer many years. Mr.Wheaton has coi pletely got the start of Great Britain and placed ¢ United States in advance of that great power. The du- ties on our principal staple exported to countries forming the German Confederation, have been reduced a large per cent. ‘The scale of duties agreed on, is very fa- vorable compared with the rates demanded by the other nations of Europe on tobacco from this country, The treaty places an advalorem duty of twenty per cent on the manufactures of the Confederation imported into the | United States. This isa favorable point for the manu- facturers of those countries, and it is not detrimental to any of our domestic interest», as we have no manufac- tures similar to them. We annex the rates of duty on several articles of export.

The present duty is about five and a half rix dollare per cent By the new treaty, the rate is fixed at four rix the cwt Our principal exports to Germany are cotton, rice, whale and fish oil and tobacco. Negotions have been pending a long time between Mr. Wheaton, on the part of the United States and the Prussian Minister on the part of the Zollve- rein. The Confederation have long been satisfied that a re duction of dutieson tobacco could be safelyacceded to so fa as revenue was concerne,but the amount of reduction has for a long time depended upon what equivalent the United States would be willing to give. The existing tariff of the United Stutes causes great complaint in Germany on ac- | count of the restrictions it places upon their manufactures, Measures of retaliatian were proposed. The markets of theUnitedstates were of too much importance to be trifled with. The tariff of 1842 has been the first cause of the present arrangemeut, in bringing the question that has been so long unsettled, to a crisis. They demand an equi- valent in a reduction of duties on their manufactures to twenty per cent ad valorem. The duty now om linen manufactures is twenty-five per cent. Toys, &c. thirty percent. The reduction on linen goods is only twenty percent, and on toys, &c. about thirty-three andathird percent The reduction on tobacco is about fifty per cent. ‘This appears to be a very equitable arrangement, one greatly benefitting the U.S. Our exports of tobacco are very large, but the growth has lately been so largely extended, that efforts and compromises must be made to ensure a more extensive consumption. The former duty on these articles into Germany was much more favorable than that of other nations of Europe, and the reduction will bea great incentive to a more extensive export than we have carried on yet.

Every treaty we make with the powers of Europe favor- able to the import of this staple into their dominions, de- stroys the trade of Great Britain in the article, and throws it directly betweon the government producing and the government consuming. The importance of thia staple to the nations of Europe, may induce them to grant more favorable duties on our cotton manufactures, as an offset to the large per cents still retained on Tobacco. ‘The terms of the new treaty are stili in favor of the confedera. tion, and the only way to equalize che benefits derived from commerce between the two countries, without any further reduction in the duties on Tobacco, is to place the duty on all other merchandise imported from the United States on a par with the duty required by them to be placed on their manufactures. There is an immense amount of cotton yarns manufactured in Great Britain for the markets of Germany. ‘The English have monopolised this trade, and have dictated theirown terms. The new treaty throws openthe markets of the confederation to those manufactures of this country. We can successfully cotipete with Great Britain in this article, notwithstand ing the immense capital employed in the business in Eng land. We look upon this new commercial system as being of the greatest importance tothis country, Mr. Wheaton has been a resident at Berlin too long not to understand his position, or to suffer himself to bedrawn into an ui favorable arrangement, Whatever is gained by the agree. ment, we feel convinced, is all that could be obtaine?
