THor advioes have been anticipated by telegraph from Halifax, but ouo day's later foreign papers have been received, in which we find some interesting details additional to those we have al- ready published. The accounts from various quarters of the movements of Austrian, Prussian and Italian troops all indicate an early outbreak of hostilities. The greatest entbusiasm in favot of the war prevails in Italy. The liabilities of Agra & Masterman's Bank, which sna- pended payment on the Gth inst., smouat to £19,0000,000 sterling. CONGRESS.

On the ques- tion of discharging the Finance Committee from further con- sideration of the resolution, the vote stood, yoas G, nays 25, The last biil was called up and considercd until the adjourn: ment. 1u the House, a bill was reported granting land to aid in the construction of the lowa Central Railgoad.

Mr. Perham (Me.) reported a bill increasing tbe pensions of widows and orphans and for other purposes, and advocated it in a fow remarks. The subject was debated, and under pres- sure of the previous question read three times and passed. The Committee on Invalid Pensions was then discharged. The House resumed the consideration of the Senate bill grauting lands to aid in the construction of a railroad and telegraph line from the Central Pacifie Railroad in California to Portland, Oregon. After considerable discussion the bill was recommitted to the Committee on the Pacific Railroad. The morsing hour having expired, the Speaker pre- sented Secretary McCulloch's letter regarding gold sales, which was presented and withdrawn on Tuesday, whereupon Mr. Wilson (lowa) offered the same resolution be offered and withdrew on Tuesday, referring the communication to the Committee on Banking and Currenoy, with instructions. After debate, the resolution was agreed to. The Senate amendment to the House joint resolution to provide for ex- penses attending the exposition of United States products at the Paris Exhibition of 1867, was taken up aod discussed. On the suggestion of Mr. Washburne that they should be first considered in Commithe of the Whole, the House went iato Committee. The Winnebago Reservation bill being the first on the ealendar, it and other bills were successively laid aside until the Paris Exhibition bill was reached. After cousidera- bie discussion and rejection of amendments, on motion of Mr. Banks the Senate substitute was non-concurred in, sud a Con- ference Committee asked. After taking up and referring several miscellancous bilis, the House, at 4 p. w., adjourned. NEW-YORK CITY. The Board of Education met yesterday.

Three thousand dollars was also asked for necessary repairs to several: schools.

A series of resolutions reported by the Committee on Apperatus were adopted. A resolution was also adopted ealling upon the Chief-Engincer to make such arrangements that two-thirds of the force wight be or. dered out in case of extraordinary emergencies, instead of onehalf as at present. Several other resolutions for the better government of the Department were then adopted, wlen the Board adjourned. Last evening Jerry O'Brien, 10 years of age, stabbed Kattie Smith with a butcher knife, at s brothel, No. 139 Prince-st., causing instant death. e then attempted Lis own life with the same weapon infictiog a frightfal but not necessarily fatal wound in Lis tbroat. O'Brien was removed to Bellevue Hospital. This s said to have been the first homieade that has occurred in this city within the past three montbs. The trial of the brothers Miles and Daniel O'Reilly for the killing of Patrick Donvelly was concladed in the Court of General Sessions yesterday, Daniel was found guilty of manslaughter in the tkird degree and Miles assault and battery. There are extensive preparations being madé for the open. air indignation wass wmeeting of tbe Fenians, to be held at Uulon-square on next Monday evening, to give expression to their opinion of the course of the Government during the late raid. Money is still reported flowing into the coffers of the Roberts faction, and daily sccessions of circles which have deserted the standard of Stephens and O'Madony, Yesterday was 8 field day in Exclse matters, the oflicers haviog orders to arrest all selling liguor withoat a license, In consequence the Police Court-rooms were crowded with jllegal venders, and attention to their cases precluded the Learing of suy otber business.

The annual conference of the Western Unitarian Churchies commenced its sessions at Duffalo yesterday. At least =50 delogates are expected to be present. George Squills, aged 72, and bis granddaughter, aged 11, were murdered on Sunday eveniog last, near Rossville, York County, Penn. Mrs, Squills was also terribly injured, aud. at Inst nocounts, was in a dsing condition. Money is believed to bave incited the deed, and an Irisumau named Donovan has been arrested on suspicion. The failure of two provision houses in Philadelphia is re- ported. Mr. Wilson's resolution of inquiry into Mr. McCul- loch's sales and purchases of gold was again offered in the House, yesterday, and was adopted. The Senate has agreed to fix the tax on cotton at two cents instead of five. We trust the House will consider the matter in all its bearings before concur- ring. The bill to grant lands in aid of a railroad and tele- graph from California to Oregon was debated yester- day in the House, and a good deal of opposition was manifested on account of the amount of the grants. Its opponents desired to refer the bill to the Commi'- tee on Lands, but it was finally recommitted to the Committee on the Pacific Railroad. e On the sccond page of this morning's paper will be found notices of New Publications; on the seventh page Slavery and Slave Life in Brazil—a paper con- taining much curious information; a lotter from our Special Correspondent at St. Louis on Fenian and other matters in Missouri; a letter on the Death Ponalty with Editorial Remarks; and a letter from Kenneth Square on the Progressive Friends. P, The House did itself credit yesterday by rejecting Mr. E. B, Washburne's attempt to defeat the bill pro- viding for a proper exposition of American Invention and Useful Art at the grand display at Paris next Summer, by saddling it with the condition that the French must withdraw from Mexico. We object to every demonstration. like Mr. Washburne's as calen- lated to keep the French in Mexico after they would otherwise have been withdrawn. ket us just mind our own business, and keep minding it. The House voted yesterday to add $6,000,000 per annum to the pension list, making $22,000,000 in all. The increase arises from including provost-marshals, &e., from an addition of $2 per mouth for each child under sixteen, &e. An attempt was made to raise the lowest grade of pension from $3 to £12 a month, but it failed, and the House passed the bill under the previous question, as reported from Committee. The resolution to double pensions accruing during the Re- bellion was laid on the table. —e The report having gone abroad that some general officer stopping at a Galveston hotel, had solicited and received an appointment from the President, one who proclaims himself an ex-Confederate officer, writes: * I believe I can say for 3 (Ball's Bluff Evans) as for myself that we bave atno time held any intercourse with persons of the vocation to which, as I am informed, Mr. Johnson belongs, except in relation to the making or repairing of clothes,” This we take as a specimen of the loftiest dudgeon of self-consuming chivalry, but it sounds as if the classic Bagley had been refused a pardon, preaEii i A docady The extracts from the papers received by the Peru- vian, which we publish this morning on another page, do not contain any later intelligence, but they furnish some additional details on the European crisis, which ato of great interest. The enthusiasm whic h has seized the whole Italian people again conquers, as in 1859, the admiration of the whole civilized world. No one can withhold his sympathy from a p that makes such efforts for its freedom and independence. In Germ Prus s gradually forced into the necessity of openly refusing the decrees of the al Diet, and this may precipi- tate the declaration of a Federal war against Pru The excitement runs very high in every part of many, and the Legislatures of the minor Ntates are almost unanimous in demanding the convoeation of a National Parliament and the establishment of a Cen- tral Exeeutive for all Germany. COMMON MENSE, The Evening Post has a very bitter, railing tirade against increasing the tariff, in the spirit of the arti- cles in which that same journal in 1#23 predicted a stagnation of business, paralysis of trade, the rotting of ships at our wharves, the utter blight and disap- pearance of our revenue from ;imports, &c., &e., if *‘the Balck Tariff " of that year were any farther obedience to passed. Experieuce provod The Post false as a prophet as it was unsound as an econ omist. We had more industry, more actiy- ity, more production, mors wealth, and even more foreign trade, under that Tariff, than previously; and we rapidly paid off our National Debt under a Tariff stigmatized as prohibitory, while the nation grew apace in every element of prosperity and progress. The Nullifiers bullied us out of that Tariff as they gince tried to bully us out of our opposition to the Extension of Slavery; and we ran gradually down to what they proclaimed a R: standard—that iz, a pretty uniform tariff of twenty per cent. ad valorem. But not only was our Industry crippled by the change; Commerce suffered as well; and our Revenue Tarifl failed to yield the smallest amount on which the wheols of Government could be kept in motion. Though we had nv Public Debt, we could neither pay our way nor borrow, whether in America or Europe; and we went gquare back to Protection, in defiance of The Post's croakings, in 1842, Again The Post protested and predicted; and again the facts made its prophecieg ridiculous. That Tariff found us bankrupt, aud quickly restored us to soly- ency; it found us paralyzed, aid set every wheel re- volving. Again our country bounded forward on a career of thrift and growth, until brought to a halt by the Kane-letter juggle and the successful cheat of “Polk, Dallas, and the Tariff of '42." In 1861, we went part way back again to Protection; and The Post once more foresaw general stagnation and ruin, especially in our foreign trade, which has been more prosperous under this Tarifl than ever it was under Free-Trade. In short, experience has ever ran exactly counter to The Post's sanguine anticipations. day, The Post raves as of old at the prospect of an increase of duties to counteract the heavy burdens imposed on our Home Industry by Internal Duties. It insists that every dime levied on imported goods is paid by the American consumer; while the cotton- planters are protesting against the proposed excise on their staple as though every penny of it were to be paid by the producer. Yet, side by side in The Post’s columns with its demonstrations that a communi which grows Corn or Cotton exclusively may wisely continue to do s0, we find several such paragraphs us the following: MavvpacTUres 15 111 WesT.—The Lawrence (Kansas) pa- pers are justly exultant over the fact that a match factory, & ropewalk, and broom factory, in addition to the woolen factories now in operation in tuat city, are about to be started. —Yes; * the Lawrence papers are justly exultant ™ VeL which was too windy, | that woolen fabrics, ropes, matches sud brovims, cither | wtreets, nvonues, roads, squar are orsoon will be produced in their young City; they fec! and know that the diversification of pur- suits as is thus secured will insure to Lawrence an enlarged and solid prosperity. They know that man- ufactures prosecuted in Kansas afford to her farmers better and surer markets than they can ever have across the Atiautic. And the entire North-West is now ¥ justly exultant” at the prospect that the establishment therein of woolen and cotton mills, furnaces and founderies, rolling mills and factories, is about to receive a new and strong impulse by the enactment of a higher Tariff. Yes, they are “justly exultant” at this prospect; and we pray Congress not to blast their hopes by refusing to make the Tariff specific and discriminating, or by adjourning before it shall have become a law. COTTON CROAKIN Though it is generally admitted that the great rains at the South are over, tho rivers generally falling, and an additional area has been planted, even down to the 5th or 10th inst., on lands thus uncovered by the re- ceding waters, the predictions of a third or quarter crop continue. A correspondent who has been tra- versing the South for three months past transmits the following estimate of the yield of 1366 to a house in this City: 1866, 200,000 Productof 1859, dlfi.él Louisiaus and Florida. Total.... —Now it may be that Texas will not make half, nor Mississippi one-cighth, nor Arkavsas and Tennes- sce but a fourth, of the Cotton in 66 that they did in '50; but we must be allowed to dishelieve it, as we disbelieved the now exploded assertions that there were not One Million bales ‘in the South last May. We still believe the crop of 1366, with a fair season henceforth, will range from 2,000,000 to 2,500,000 bales, and that Texas, Arkansas and Tennessee will produce 1,000,000 instead of the 350,000 assigned them above, Let the result determine who is nearest right ! — e TOMRS LAW, The Tombs prison, which has so often opened its gloomy doors to the victims of unlimited rum-selling, might yesterday, with great legal propriety, have been the scene of an unusual administration of poetic jus- tice. A swarm of liquor-dealers, arrested for selling without license, were brought before Justice Dowling. There was not one amonug these men who did not richly deserve the penalty of the law which they all knowingly and willfully defied; and every one of them was as well entitled to a cell in the Tombs as any poor wretch who has been heiped into jail from swallowing cheap poison. The proof was ready aud positive that the law had been flagrantly violated in every case, and there was a ripe opportu- nity for a Judge of good common sense, with a toler- able respect for law and order, to offer up for the pub- lic peace such an example as all good citizens would planded. But the Tombs is not a school for justice, though it may or should be for Justices who Lreak the law with a greater contempt for publie opinion than even liquor dealers. Justice Dowling has given an opinion which, we have not a doubt, was triumphantly retailed with every glass of rum whose pernicious influence flowed Tombsward last evening. This opinion postpones all action in the case of the rum-dealers who have violated the law, in full confi- dence of impunity, till the decision of the Court of Common Pleas, as anticipated by Justice Dowling, renders the law practically nugatory in such palaces of justice as the Tombs Police Court. intent of the Excise Law is so plainly ex- pressed, aud its spirit is in keeping with so many well-confirmed precedents, that we suppose there can be but one opinion of Mr. Dowling's remarkable judg- ment. Here is a simple and righteous law Lroken at the start, not by a dozen, but a hundred men, and the best we can get from a metropolitan guardian of law and order is an assurance that the law is all wrong, and the lawbreakers all right. The significance of this transaction is unmistakable. The public will all the more strongly insist on the rigid proservation and enforc it of the law, lest it come hereafter to be 8 matter of impossibility to carry any law into effect, unless it be such a direct lic ness and disorder as will enable Tombs magistrates to administer it eheerfully, and the Tombs prison to take crop of crime. i KEECH ON GAN.

Mr. Keech seizes this moment to make a contract for lighting our City for twenty yoars. Why s01 Does one soul on earth harbor a shadow of doubt that he does this to enrich himself at the expense of the constituents whose trust he is shamefully betray- ing? We are manifestly on the verge of great improve- ments in the produetion of Light. Petrolenm, Water, Wood, Peat, aud other materials, are being pressed into the service, with hopeful prospects of early suc- cess. We verily believe—and our belief is founded on facts within our knowledge—that any required amount of light will be produced in this City within tieo years at less than half the present cost, Yet Mr. Keech proposes to saddle onr tax-payers with a con- tract, fixing the price of Gas inexorably at current rates for the next twenty years! Who belicves that he perpetrates this great wrong wholly for others’ benefit, without expecting to fill his own private pocket by it? At this moment, the Health Commissioners could get the dead animals removed from our City not only without charge but at a promium, were they not estopped by one of Boole's shameful contracts, bind- ing the City to pay for ten years a large snm annually for such removal. 8o with other offensive. noxious matter. But twenty years is a littlo ahead of any- thing Bools ever did, so far as we know. —*Ah! but the Manhattan Company had & con- tract for twenty years!” So it did. DBut that was given as an inducement for laying pipes throughout a then mainly unbuilt portion of our City. It was a hard bargain for the tax-payers; but not half so outrageous as this. The farce of pretending to invite competition, while stipulating that the streets shall be lighted with “coal-gas,” is too transparent. Why should the con- tractor bo so limited? Why not allow him his choice of materials and processes, so that he produces the re- quired result? Who can pretend that this limitation to * coal-gas” is imposed in the interestof the City ? Mr. Keech! if you are “on the make,” improve your time; for you will never have another chance ! And, if you put through this villainons job for less than £100,000, you are scarcely more knave than fool. [Ed. MARYLAND, A desperate effort is now being made to revolutionize Maryland, abolish her Registry law, and give her inth tho keeping of those who openly rejoiced over the Rebel victory at Bull Run. Strange to say, Gov. Swann, with some others who have been lifted into power by the favor of Unionists, are aiding this old- new party, which rallies under the name of Johnson. The Baltimore American gives the following account of its master-spirits: 1t will be rememboroed that 8t the meeting at the Maryland Tnstitute, some months since, to indorse the President licy. among those prominent in getting it up were Messrs, M., Gill and I.

And the Secretary of the Treasury shall require of the associations thus designatec satisfactory security by the deposit of United States bonds, and otherwise, for the safe keeping and prompt payment of the public moncy deposited with them, and for the faithfal performance of their duties as financial agents of the Govern- ment: Provided, That every association which shali be se- lected and designated us recéiver or depositary of the public money shall take and receive st par all of the national currency bills, by whatever association issued, which have been paid into (he Government for intersul reveuue, or for loaus or stocks."” The words **shall” and * may " in the foregoing section we have ourselves italicized for the purpose of inviting attention to their special force and meaning in this portion of the law. When the National Banking system was established, special privileges were conferred upon the banks. The Government supplied them with notes, which were made a legal tender to the Government for al- most all purposes; and, in case of a failure of the bank to redeem its circulation, the Government stood pledged to doso. 8o favorable a system of banking had never before been offered to the American people. It is evident that in return for these special privileges the hanks were to be compelled, if need be, as a part of their duty, to become **depositories of public money.” Hence, the law in preseribing their duties declares that they shall be so; but, when speaking of them as financial agents, it says, **they may be also employed as financial agents,” evidently making the one compulsory and the other optional. Yet, instead of the duty of acting as a **depositary of public money " being regarded as a responsibility, to be undertaken with reluctance, our National bank- ers have eagerly songht it as an advantage, aud have devoted their energies to the securing of as large an amount of the public deposits as possible. The reason | is obvious; the public deposits have been regarded and treated as other deposits, and, although in most cases probably with more caution, have been nsed in loaps, discounts, and other investments, by the banks holding them, as a means of increasing the profits o the bank. The term *““depository of public moneys” in the section of tho Currency act above quoted, is obtained | from the Sub-Treasury act of 6th August, 1546, There is nothing in the Currency act, orinany other, repeal- ing the provisions of the Sub-Treasury act; and it follows that the Currencygact must be administered in conformity to existing laws, not in antagonism to them. When, therefore, the Carrency National bauk a part of their compact with the Government, to act as **depositories of public moneys,” it must be understood that the ucts of the depositories must be in accordance with the provisions of the law as preseribed in the Sub-Treasury act of 6th Angust, 1846, and of the amendwments thereto. The following are some of the provisions of this act: v BRg, G, AUl public oficers of whatsoever character, be, and they are mf\‘l}_‘, roqu{fll to kaep safely, without loaning, uelig, or depositing in baoks, or exchanging for other funds thatt as allowed by this act, all the public money collected by thetn OF otherwise, at any time placed in their possession and custody, till the sawme is ordered by the proper department or oflicer of the Government to be paid out.” sre. 16, 1 er or otbor persons charged by this act, or any other act, of the pu ey shall convert to bis own use, in any way Whatsoaver, or ‘whall use by way of tovestment fo any kind of property or merchandise, or shall loan with o without inierest, or shall deposit in any bank, or shali exchange for other funds, xoept as allowed by this act, any portion of the publie moneys {ntrusted to him for sufe-keeping. * * * every such aot shall be deemed and adjudged to be an embezzloment of so much of said money as shall be thus * * * invested, used, loaned, deposited, or exclanged, which is hereby declared to be a folovy.” Tu the act of March 3, 1857: §Ec. 1. After making it the daty of every disbarsing officor or agent of the United States having money of the Uuited States intrusted to bim to deposit it with @ public depository, furthor prescribed that he shall **draw for the same only in Javor of the persons to wham the payments arc (o be made in pur- ‘Snance of law and instructions, excepting when paywents are to bo made in sums under twenty dolla; “The stringency of these provisions is obvions, Ttis also obyions why the Carrency act, in view of the | stringency of the law, imposed upon National Banks the responsibility of becoming depositories of the pub- lic money as a duty to be borne and executed, instead of conferring it as a privilege tobe sought and enjoyed. By these provisions, it appears that the public money placed in our National Banks acting in the ca- pacity of depositories of public money is to b regarded and treated as a special deposit, and cannot be loaned, invested, or in any manner used by the bank receiv- ing it, without a violation of the law. It may be argued that, as the sccurity given by ot requires of | e keeping, transfer, wnd disbursement | | fairy Antidora, likewise siogs—her principal effort being that National Banks is an actual deposit of United States bonds, and not a mere parsonal bond with securities, as is required in the Sub-Treasury act, therefore the law implies & permission to the deposit- ories under the Currency act to use the Government deposits the same as individual deposits are used. But no such constructive permission is found in the act, while the most stringent injunctions against it are found in the act upon which section 45 of the Currency act is based, and we regard the officers of our National Banks designated as depositories of pub- lic money as using these deposits at their peril. ‘We have, with the best intentions, called the atten. tion of the National Depository Banks to the stringent. provisions under which they ** skall be depositories of public money,” and it will be for them to consider whether they will continue in the questionable prae- tice of loaning the public funds or of treating them other than as special deposits. H. 8., who wants to know *‘ what Tae TRIBUNE iy driving at with regard to our present Banking sys- tem,” is informed that we are driving at Par Re- demption in New-York forthwith and in Specie &t the carliest practicable day. We trust nobody else needs the information. If H. 8. will tarn to Web- ster’s speecl 23, and read those of 1815-16 against the further receipt of depreciated paper in payments to the Treasury, he will understand us perfectly, and be spared the necessity of further inquiries PR — POLITICAL, s SPEECH OF GOV. MORTON OF INDIANA, ‘The Republicans of Indiana opencd their eampaign by o large and enthusiastic meetitfg in Tndianapolis June 19, which was addressed by Gov. Morton. Concerning recon- struction, the Governor said he was in favor of the admis- sion of Tennessee, but did ot consider that the President had anything to do with the admission of Senators and Representatives into Congress. That is a matter belonging wholly to Congress. Care should be taken both to preserve the scheme of our Governmeat and to exact proper guarantees against futuro rebellions, Congress may rightfully exclude the States till their representation has been reduced by an amendment to the Constitution, which shall take from the white people of the South the right to reprosent and speak for three millions and a half of negroes. He did not be- lieve the Rebels were entitled to admission till these questions were settled, nor that they could pass from the battle-field to the floor of Congress in order to gain by their opposition to proper legislation what they bad lost by arms.

There is"no need to speak in detail of the drama ol “Sheeg’s Koot,” which is now holding the stage of the N Bowery Theater. The fow facts respecting it that are worth statiog are bradly these: It bas been adapted from a French plece called Le Pied de Monton, and arranged. by Mr. James Schonberg, as a vehicle for the actebatic entertainment of the Baislay Famuily. It is & thiv and trifliog play of tbe Fairy Speatacle order, the ** sheep's foov” being o talisman evdowed with the powers mot unlike taose possessed by Aladdin's wonderfal lamp. ‘The talisman is bestowed upon s low-born, but beroie youth—Don Guzman, played very prettily by Miss Sally Hinckleg . this eaables him to outwit & rival in love, and to bear of e from the abode of ber cbarlish sire. The escapedes of these lovers are detailed in the eourse of the play, and are sufficiently interesting to keep the mind of the specta- tor agreeably occupied. Oualy one ineident, bowever, merits particular mentiou—which is, their escape from the prisos- tower. ‘This, we believe, involves a novel device in scenery. The stage discloses & massive tower, at the top of which are thelovers. Below them the sea beats against the rugged walle of their prison. But, preseutly, a sea-shell bark, impelled by & fairy, comes in sight sud glides up to the foot of the tower. Then a strange oommotion becomes apparent iu that massive structure, Its walls heave and change, and open outward, and, in & fow miaates, combine themselyes ioto what scems to be a massive stone stairease—and down this the Jovers walk, to take refuge in the fairy boat,and sail away from trouble and durance vile. They are pursued indeed; but o dragon, spouting fire, causos their retreat, and they are pres- ently sucountered again, as gueats of a hospitable gentlewaa, who provides for their delectation by dance and song and ae- robatic performances, For the dancers we canuot say mueb— albeit Madame Strebinger is o very agile end accomplished and pleasing artist. The singing, too, is ouly tolerable. Miss Alicia Thorn, as Donna Leonora, the heroine, contributes largely to the voeal part of the entertainment, aad 1s, besides, s vivacious sctross. Miss Blanche Chiapman, as the good pretty German seng, which Longfellow has translated, under the title of “ Bewate,” It were suporfiuons, however, & dwell upon these features, or upon the general acting of the piece. Al are overborne by the acrobatic foats of the Buis- lay Brothers. Wo ba hitherto beon accustomed to regard the Hanlous as the most daring and skillful gymoasts of the day; but, certainly, their bonors must be divided with the Baislay Family—to say the least of it. Oae act of the Buislays must suflice here, as an illustration of their powers. A tri- pezs is suspended, a fow foet from the roof of the theater, im- mediately over the stage. Opposite this, on a platform, placed in the center of the upper tier, stands the performer, bolding in his hands two ropes, whieh are sttached to the ceuter of the roof of she theater. To reach the trapeze, Le mast propel Dimself forward, and, in oue lovg and magviticent sweep of motion, glide completely across the theator, seize the trepeze bar with bis legs, and drop the ropes. This ho does. Then, mounting upward, he fixes bLis foet 1n two rings, and, banging head downward, bolds & second trapesa for the reception of bis brother, The latter arrives by the same remarkable conveyance, ud then these two mes hang in air, pendant from the rings, and in & position ihe peril of which may be felt, but cannot be adequately described. Upos tho propriety of this dreadful tamperiug with buman Lo wedo not care to speak. The fact is suflicient for our present pur pose; and the fact indicates, in & fair manner, the axtouishing streugth and skill possessed by tho Baislay Brothors.
