GREAT BRITAIN.
Mr. Bright at Birmingham.
Gntbe24lhof July Mr. Bright was entertained
at dinner by the Mayor of Birmingham and
politics being precluded, he spoke as follows in
reply to the toast of his health: Alluding to
the Irish question, he observed that within the
last fortnight he had been in Ireland, and
having seen a preat many people, at Limerick,
on the banks of the Shannon, and in Dublin, he
was there to state his belief that there was a
sensibly improved feeling anion? the Catholic
majority, who seemed to think that the Fnulisli
Parliament were honestly turning their minds
to investigate the questions which had hitherto
jnade the ereat difficulty which Irelaud had beea
to the United Kingdom. The general impression
was that the Established Church in Irelaud was
as pood as gone, but at the same time they
looked to that party in England which proposed
to dis establish the Irish Church for generous
dealing, sympathy, and fairness in the great
transaction which they believed now to be in
evitable. There were, however, other questions
with regard to Ireland which called for settle
ment, the chief of which was the land question.
There was a universal complaint tbHt the great
bulk of the proprietors ot the soil did not reside
in the country, ana pertoruiea none ot ihe
duties of proprietors, but took their incomes
end expended them in Dublin or in foreign
capitaln.
At this moment we had a free press, a free
platform, and a free Parliament. Borne people
looked with alarm noon Dcmocratio institutions.
He should himself be vary sorry in some things
to Americanize our institutions. In the coarse
of a few months the countries would be engaged
in a great political struggle. We should be ou
traged in returning a Lew parliament, and the
United states would be employed in the election
of a new Chief Magistrate, who would have to
direct the affairs of that nation for the next four
Tears. We might have a change of administra
tion lollowing our election, and in America, in
all probability, the same result would fol
low; but there was one thing they had
in the United States which he would
be grievously sorry to see imported into
this country. They had in the chance of a tour
years' dynasty a change in almost all their oili
cers throughout what might bo called their
' Internal establishments. Buch a change would
be most disadvantageous in this country. At
the same time, America was setting us an ex
ample in the reduction of her public expendi
ture which we ought to follow. There was
nothing, he thought, which could justify our
enormous military and naval armament; and he
asked why it was, although the United States
and other nations had a very large trade and
commerce with China and the East, all the
police of those seas was paid for out ot English
taxation? He contended that to the enormous
burden of the taxation we bore was to be
attributed the source of the vast amount of
patriotism that was found to exiet in the lowest
stratum of society.
John Stuart Mill Before Ilia Co
Mtuerata. In addressing the electors of Westminster on
the H3d of July, Mr. Mill snid: -Great changes
Lave been made in our representative institu
tions. The constituencies had been greatly en
larged, and they were now going to be asked
what they meunt to do with their new power.
Did they intend to have a stricter government,
with an improvement m its aduiiuistration ?
The mass of the community had obtained Inrlu
ence and a voice in the conduct of the Legisla
ture. Was their purpose that the Imperial in
terest should be more attended to than it bad
hitherto been ?
If tbey meant that the Government under
which we were now living should be a srood one
for the whole people, a government willing and
able to deal with the great social difiieulties
now pressing upon us, then it wa3 time to bestir
themselves. (Hear, hear.) It was time for them
to think how to make their political suffraaes
instrumental in biinging about this purpose.
The people bad onlv to make up tbtir mind that
a thing should be done, and it would be done.
Where there was a will the way would present
no difficulties. When they made up their
minds that the Ccrn Laws should cease, any
body could have carried the measure, and so
when they decided a thing should be
done it could be done. Now, there was
the Irish Church. When the nation had
decided that it should no longer go on, the
thmg could be done almost as easily as said.
But the nation had a great many more things to
do than that. It had cot to make cood laws for
the safety of society. We had got a great deal
richer, more struggling, mere overcrowded in
society, than our ancestors could ever have
formed anv idea of. A vast mercantile and com
mercial industry had thrown itself up, and there
y,uB a number ot things 10 oe aone now mat re
quired long and patient thounht, much more
tbought and patience thau the body politic could
possibly bestow upon tho.r consideration. What
the public had to do, then, was to Und the mn
who could do the thine. For instance, let him
first fceak of the ereat aucstion upon every
bodv's mind the proportions and relations
between capital and lubor. How far did the
public mind go upon that? Why, it is
Baid, let the rel.nion between workman
and eumlover. as tar as it can be, be
asskted by the law; but this was not i
case in which the nation could ins'ruct Purlin
luent, and the proper mode of dealing with the
finetinn had jet to be found out. (Hear, hear.)
Another matter was the power to deal with
pauperism, a contained in poor-law relief. We
knew the vices of the system, we knew that vast
turns ot money were levied, and yet those who
most needed public charity were imperfectly
relieved. We knew that provision was made for
nuroin the sick, carinir for the aged and help
less, and education for the joung; and yet these
thiiiKs were often a cruel mockery. How ws
thisr Why, it was b .'cause these matters had
not been thoroughly organized. W bat was
wanted was an oreauutna mind, who should be
ahl in know how to make oeonlo do their duty
iinw m nivi relief without encourasrinc those
who were not entitled to it. If the people then
wanted all theje things done they must be con
tent to tend to Parliament not men who would
merely support Mr. Gladstone, put men wli
could help him also.
U.aaral News.
A blue bosk, eostainiusr the annual report of
the Comaiitiee at Coancil oa hducutiin lor ma
year ending 18G7-68, ha just been published for
the information of Parliament. From this
document it Appears that during the year to
which the report reicrs there had been an
increase on the return ot the vear previously in
the number of schools or departments of BtkooU
actually Impeded, amounting to 1005, and in
the number ot children amounting to 103,498.
There was also an increase of 742 certificated
teachers, 163 assistant teachers, and 664 pupil
teachers. A great divergence is pointed out
between the provisions made for normal train
ing and the employment of it, and this is said
to be a question of fne utmost gravity. It does
not arise from want of funds, but from want of
suitable candidates; and the Commissioners do
tot seem to be Inclined to relax the stringent
regulations which are found to be necessary.
Tie English government reeelved official
information of the outbreak of cattle plague in
Pgypt. It is reperted to have broken out in
Yolhynla and other parts of Russia.
The steamship Norseman arrived at South
ampton with the Cape malts, bringlncr among
her passengers the Rev. Mr. Van der Wall and
Mr. de Villlers, who have keen appointed as a
deputation to England for the purpose of con
ferring with the Ministry on the Basuto ques
tion. The Cape Argus of the 19th of Juno says,
that the matters across the Orange river re
mained much as before. The renewed attempts
to open negotiations for a settlement of the
disputed Jaiid question had failed, the Boers
evincing no disposition to "abate the preten
sions they have hitherto maintained."
Sir James Brooke, K.C. 11., Rajah of Sarawak,
by his will dated April 15, 1867, devised his
sovereignty of Sarawak to his nephew, Charles
Johnson Brooke, and the heirs male of his body;
and, in default of issue, the Rafah devised his
said verplgnty nuto her Majesty the Queen of
Kn aland, her heirs and a-slcns f jrever; and the
Rajah appointed Miss Angela Georgiua Uurlctt
t'outts, Vs. Thos. Fairnairn, and Mr. John Abel
Fnilih.M. P., trustees of bis will, tosee the pur
poses aforesaid carried Into effect. TheRniah be
queathed to bis nephew, Charles Johnson
Brooke, all his real and personal estate in
Borneo end England, and constituted him his
residuary leeatee; and the Rajah directed his
nephew, Charles Johnson Brooke, to furnish to
Lis executors, from his pioperty in Euglaml,
and out ot the dc!t which was due to him fr,m
the State of Sarawak, sufficient funds to raise
legacies to Arthur Crookshank, Esq., and Mr.
George Brooke, and liberal annuities in favor of
his servants.
THE CONTINENT.
Propeiied Fomiatioa of a, New Party la
Frarace.
Tho Paris correspondent of the Pall Mall
Qazetle,Juy 24, writes:
The lievue Modcrne of to-morrow is to give
the story ot M. Emile Olllvier's negotiations with
the Court. It appears that the Due de Moray
was the first to make advances, and that while
the Emperor was in Algeria the Empress sent
M. Ollivler aa invitation to dine, which was
accepted on the condition that M. Ollivler
should not be receive as a deputy Dy tne
Empress in her quality of sovereign. A second
invitation was sent by her Mai,ety some little
time afterwards, and hardly had M. Ollivler
been received when the Emperor entered, and
is said to have been much struck and charmed
at the simplicity of the theories sustained with
courageous eloquenee ov tne young deputy.
On nts side, a. uinvier oia not escape tne se
ductive power of the Emperor. A sort of tie
was formed, and a Liberal conspiracy, with M.
de Mornv at its head, was set on foot in the
Tuilleries. The plot wa9 aboat to bear fruit
when the Due de Moray died. After an
interregnum, Count Walewskl succeeded to
the Presidency of the Corps Legislatif, and
M. Ollivier was received by the count,
who is liberal, and has an aversion to
M. Bouher, on the same terms as previously.
But times had changed, and the Emperor by no
means accorded the same conudeace to uouni
Walewski as to the Due de Mornv; M. Rouher
weighed heavs in the balance. In I860, after a
conversation with the Countess Walewski, the
Emperor sent for M. Olliver, who was informed,
however, that an interview would be useless if
he did not pledge himself to accept a portfolio.
M. Ollivier promised, ana consequently was
Minister when he entered tho Emperor's Cabi
net on tho 18th of January. 1867. In an inter
view which lasted two hours, he pleaded the
cause of the press and right ot meeting; tne
Emperor yielded what was asked, and si. Olli
vier was to cany out his programme with M.
Rouher it that Minister would consent, and with
out him if he would not. M. Ollivier then asked
the Emperor to give him back his promise,
as he would be better abio to oeiena tne new
policy just decided on as an Independent de
puty. His Majesty, little accustomed to sucn
demands, accepted, honoring M. Ollivier for his
request, a he new laws were some urac Deing
batched, and the Deputy of Paris reminded
the Emperor of his promises in a rather aevere
tone, and received as an answer that the diffi
culty of recasting the Ministry had caused the
delay, whicn would come to an enu me uoxi
day. The 10th of January the date of the
Emperor's liberal letter- came, and M. Rouher
was directed to consult with M. Ollivler on the
bebt way of carrying out the new measures.
To M. Rouher he said: "I have four things
to tell you. First. They say I wish
to replace you as Minister of State; it you Be
lieve this, put the question to me in the Cham
ber. Second. If you are Minister to-day you
owe your place to me; if you doubt it ask the
. . r mii.ji t ii . : i. J.i ...
tjmperor. luiru. i win hiwisi jro wimuu uj
arriere-pensee. Fourth. I beg you win marcn
in the way opened to you ts-day, and not fancy
yourselt bonud by your resistance or. yesieruay;
(bat jou will remember that a man never cou
tradicts himself when he does better." Such is
brief summary of the coming explanation,
and it M. Emile Ollivier showed weakness in not
defending the policy he persuaded the Emperor
to adopt, he has displayed wonderful abnega
tion, and will, no douot, reeain tne conuaeuce
of hi constituents for exhibiting a rare quality.
Blaxlmlllaa'a Widow.
The Memorial Diplomatique, July 23, says:
There Is unfortunately only too much reason.
to fear that the recovery ot the unhappy prin
cess will be neither so speedy nor so complete
n w is inferred from the improvement which
took place on the removal of Her Majesty from )
prey to the mobt extraordinary excitement,
upcravated Dy tne excessive neat ana rue want
ot sleep, to which her Majesty is subject. As at
Miramar, he had an invincible aversion
to (ivery description of lood, although
she ueiseU orders every morning what she
would like to have at her meals. She refuses
to sit at the table, and will not ta-te anything
unless it is offered to her by Queen M irle-IIenri-ette,
her Mster-ln-law, who takes a seit by her
side and feeds her like a child. At bedtime it
olteu hsppens that the Queen is obliged to use
her personal influence to prevail upon the Em
press to retire to rest.
Havalutlonarjr Jouraala tm Spain.
A letter from Madrid of the 17th of July, in the
Independence Beige, mentions the names of
three clandestine journals circulating in that
city viz: the Ettmnmator, the Jteoolxi'ion, ami
the Iifvoiutionary Bulletin. The two last nam'd
occupied themselves with the Queen's private
life, and the first pointed out lor popular
vengeance a certain number of person i well
known for their revolutionary tendencies,
whose places ot residence were given. Theo
pspers are laid to be widely circulated in Malrld
and the provinces. The same correspondent cnys
that the Queen of Spain has anreservedly ap
proved the repressive policy of the Cabinet, aad
the ministerial journal, Kl Ksvanol, defends it
as the only course it was possible to adopt.
"Ihe oppositiou sgaintt which we have at this
moiueat te struggle, it says, is not one of those
oppositions that are disarmed by a mere change
of persous or modification of the policy ot the
governmrnt. What is now wanted, what is im
peratively and Impertinently demanded, cannot
be Granted by aav ministry in which tae legiti
mate Queen of Spain , Donne Isabella II, of
Bourbou, has placed her confidence."
AFRICA.
Discovery of Hold Kialde at the Cape of
uoa nop.
The London Time of July 26, says: "Advices
from the Cape of lioed Hope tcud to cuatirju
the re port recently recelyert with regarl to gold
discoveries beyond the Transvaal Republic.
Some of the account! in circulation are of tbi
wildest description, but setting these atde there
is reason to believe not only tnat deports ent
but that they are very rich and cxteusive. They
appear to be situated about Ave hundred miles
from Patchelstrom, a town on the South
ern border of Tranwaal, and the route Is
reported to be healthy and abounding in eame.
It is also alleged that the chief is iriendly
and anxious to come under British protectiou.
There is a tradition that the Portuguese seat an
expedition in the sixteenth century to work to. 'se
mines, which failed through the prevalence of
fever and tho poisonous fly described by Dr.
Livingstone as dustruoilve to horses and cattle,
It ascended the Zambesi as far as Sena, but
those who did not perish turned buck, and no
attempt has . since been mane. Home of the
Cape travellers know the line of route well, and
further and more distinct particulars may,
therefore, soon be expected. Natal is
the nearest seaport to tho dis
trict, and expeditions will most likely
be organized from tnat colonv as well as fo u
the Cape. Should the expectations ectertivned
be ronurme d eveu In but a raodera'e deitree an
impulse will be given to that and the o her set
tlements which will speedily retrieve tho de
pression of the pus t few years, the following
extract from a letter written by a raerctnut
ordinarily of sober views, und dated from C ipe
Town, the 4th ult., indlca'es that tho discovery
has created a frenzy even greater than that
which always arise under such circimitanccs,
and which almost invariably ends in disappoint
ment: "Reports of the existence of extensive gold
flelds beyond the Transvaal Republic ttppe-u- to
be lully corroborated, richer and more exten
sive. It is said, than any where else. In fact, it
is thought the ancient Ophl has been struck.
What do you think ot gold in heavy veins im
bedded in white quar:z auriferous quartz in
thirty different localities, and iinaien-e surface
strata, rich in gold, the one 22 miles broad and
the other 60 miles long, with parallel veins,
and width of from two to three miles ?"
THE CAMPAIGN.
General Carl fcchuiz oa Suffrage and
Viaaac.
General Carl Schurz spoke at Indianapolis,
Ind.. on Friday eveding. We give his views on
negro suffrage and the bond questiou:
"The Democrats say that bv giving tho negro
at the South the tight of sutir ige we will make
the black race too overbearing. It may be re
plied to that, that free labor entitles to poll i
cal power. He exemplified his vie V by putting
a supposititious case. Supposing there hal been
a war in Germany apamstthu gre.it lan I hold
ers in Mecklenburg, and that one of the con
sequences had been the liberation of their
laborers a kind of serfs would it be sound
policy to leave all political power ex
clusively to the landnolders ? No; the
political power must rest with the masses,
the people. The Democrats speak ot the uero's
allfged stupidity; that he does not know how
to appreciate the right ot surtraire all at once
bestowed upon him. If any Caucasian had been
in slavery for several centuries he would be in
the very same fix as Sambo. Perhaps he co'ild
not deny that the negro will never attain such a
degree of refinement as the white man; bat t he
negro would bo capnb:e of attaining a much
higher degree of retiuemeut than he hat at
tained up to this time. It is our sacred duty to
assist him lu his course ot education. As for
the negro being capable of comprehending fully
the rights and duties of suffrage, the speaker
said that he had voted many times himself
without being fully postod on the matttor-
Sulfrage is said to be a privilege for
all; for the masses it is a right. Suf
frage is a bulwark for preserving the
dignity of law and justice. Casting votes
would always be a matter of iustluct and in
terest For instance, it the negroes of the
South in 1861 had been allowed to vote, seces'
sion would have been impossible; then the
negro would have cast his vote in a wiser way
than the wisest of the whites, and a great deal
wiser than the Democrats lately at New York.
Negro suffrage at that time would have made
the war an impossibility. Tho negro down
South casts his vote not only in his interest,
but just as well in ourown interest. Democrats
called the negro stupid. If be would vote for
them they would call bi n smart. They de.-tpiso
him beeause be is led by bis interest, which
teaches him to appreciate freedom and bapniuess.
Negro rule at the South is anothpr nightmare
for Democratic sensitiveness. Will ever such a
thing exist? Never. There are at the South
three million five hundred thousand negroes
and over eieht million whites. Should ever the
blacks rule over the Caucasians then will the
whites deserve It. Republicans are not atraid
of such an event. Besides, the Caucasians are
beipg rciufcrced continually by immigration;
the Africans are not. Such Democratic morat-
msres are laughable. We are no children, who
will run away at the cry, 'The blacic man is
coming.' It was fur-her said the Republicans
were not sound ou the bondholders' question.
When these six per cent, bonds were issued the
Government was well nigh a bankrupt and had
to accept any terms to get money: the promises
given then had faithfully to be kept; no rich
folks were the bondholders, only working men
and small business men; there were in Germany
many millions of these gold bonds held by ser
vants and people of low stations in life."
Horn, Jo ha A. Grlawold'a Acceptaace of
the New York Uuberaatorlal JMoimlaa
tloa.
Hop. John A. Griswold, in accepting the Re
publican nomination lor Governor of New York,
writes as follows
"It remains for the loyal and considerate
people of this couutry to decide whether the
path of safety lie in the election of a President
who shall decide null and void all laws enacted
by Congress since the voluntary withdrawal of
the lepresentatives ot the late tteoei states; who
tball vompet the army to undo all that has been
done in the reconstruction and restoration of
those Slates to their 'proper practical relation'
to the Union; who shall, if necessary to
accomplish this purpose, drive the national
Congress from the capital at the point ot the
bayonet and again plunge the country into a
state of anarchy and revolution. Alter the ter
rible scourgings of a four years' war, more
formidable In its magnitude and devastating in
its effects than was ever before waged for the
destruction of an established Government, the
Union Republican party adopt as their motto
the language of the great Ca plain whose mili
tary genius carried us safely through the con
flict, and npon whose clear judgment, profound
loyalty, and earnest patriotism we now depend,
"Let us have peace." Peace alone can restore
to us our former commercial prosperity solve
all the petdiug intricate problems of finance,
and make us whit we should be, tho nation of
ail others leading the van in the progress of
Christian civilization.
The work of reconstruction is now well nigh
completed. It has thus fur been In the bauds
ot those who saved the nat on from its de
strovers. There could be no Indemnity for the
past, but such security as could be provided for
the future was demanded, and has been ob
tained so far as the measures of Cougress have
been adopted by the States l itely in rebrllion.
Shall this unfinished work go on to a full and
final consummation, or shall the ship of State
again be launched on the stormy sea ot revoiu
tlon, guided and manned by those whose
failure to destroy was because of 'the superior
power of the loyal, who were determined to
save the Republic ?''
Vallandigham says, In the Dayton (Ohio)

Utica, Aug. 4. Governor Seymour baa writ
ten a letter formally accepting the Tammany
nomination. He says it was unsought and un
expected, but ho was caught up by the whelm
ing tide which is bearing the country on to a
great political change, and proved himself
unable to resist the pressure. The resolutions
adopted at the Convention, accord with his
views.
He has delayed a formal acceptance until the
adjournment of Congress, for the purpose of
seeing what light tho action of Congress would
throw upon the interests of the country. The
Congressional party has not only aliied itself
with tho military power, which is to bear
directiy upon the elections In many States but
holds itself in perpetual session, with the
avowed purpose of making such laws as it
rhall see fit, in view of the elections soon to take
place. Never before has Congress taken so
menacing an attitude towards electors.
Under the Influence of Congress some of the
Sta'es are proposing to deprive the people of
the right to vote for Presidential Electors, and
the first bold step has bceu taken to destroy the
right of suffrage. The great interests of our
Uidon demand peace, order, and the return to
industrial pursuits. The minds of business
men are perplexed by nncertalnties.
The hours of toil of our laborers are length
ening by the cost of living made by the exac

These men owe their scats in Congress to the
disorder at the South, and every motive spring
ing from the love of power and gain and nf a
desire for vengeance prompts them to keep the
South in anarchy. In vain the wisest members
of the Republican party have protested against
the policy that leada to this result.
The chiefs of the late rebellion have submit
ted to the results ef war, and are now quietly
engaged in useful pursuits, white those who
clamorously Insist that they are only friends of
the Union, are striving to keep alive tho pas
sions to which they owe their elevation.

FROM READING,
Episcopal CoaToeatioa la the Hew Dlo
caaa. tpedalVetpatehtoTht Bvening Telegraph.
Biadino, Aug. . This morning the first con
vocation of the Protestant Episcopal Church,
within the proposed aew Diocese, opened in
Christ Church In this city. The Hev. Bishop
Stevens was present, and assisted by ten clergy
men, conducted the morning prayers. The
Church not having been hitherto formally con
secrated, It was set apart for divine worship,
according to the rubric. It is a beautiful edi
fice, and boasts one ot the most beautiful
steeples in the State, built entirely of brown
stone.
Bishop Stevens preached from the twenty
eighth chapter of Genesis, seventeenth verse:
"And he was afraid, and said how dreadful ia
this place. This is none other thau the house
of God, and this is the gate of heaven." The
sermon contained an able defense of the Episco
pal service, and an exhibition of the beauty of
the Book of Common Prayer. After the sermon
the holy communion was administered, the
Bishop conducting the same.
The congregation present this morning is not
large, but there are in attendance qaUe a num
ber of lay deputies from surrounding parishes.
The meeting Is composed of the parochial
clergy aud three lay deputies from each parish
within the limits of the proposed new Diocese.
The only two conditions which the Convention
required before the consent of the Bishop to
the proposed division should be given were
these:
1. That evidence shall be furnished the Bishop
that two thirds of the clergy and parishes, re.
presenting two-thirds of the communicints
reported in 1867, approve of being set oil as a
Dew diocese, and
2. That twenty-five hundred dollars a year for
five years secured for the support of the
Episcopate.

WHISKY " STAMPS.
Detcrlptloa of tho Hew Stamps tot Dli
uuera' uae.
The Printing Bureau of the Treasury Depart
ment is now actively engaged in printing the
tax-paid stamps for dUtilled spirits, In accord
ance with the new revenue law. The stamps
are about five inches square, with a handsome
vignette representing the reaping of grain, and
are made of ten different denominations, from
twenty to one hundred and thirty. Each
denomination of stamps has nine coupons
attached, so that these ten stamps will
auswer for any number of gauged gal
lons between those numbers.? They are
bound in books, with stamps attached to
each stamp, like banker's checks, and bsing
charged for their full value to the collector he
gets credit for all unused coupons remaiatng ia
the book on its return; and thus the system
operates as a check upon the collector, prevent,
ing fraud either by collusion or otherwise. Tho
method by wntcu re-use, or tne use a second
time, of the stamp Is prevented is new and
ingenious. The stamp is pierced with a large
hole in the centre, which is covered by
a thinner paper before printing. After
it is printed and attached to the bar
rel it cannot be soaked off and re-used,
as the beer stamps have been, because the
stamp will come off in two pieces, which, from
their peculiar construction, cannot again be
united on another barrel. The stamp is perma
nently de'aced by any attempt to remove it.
One peculiarity of t he stamp is that it cannot be
printed except by what is known as the dry
process, by hydrostatic power, so that the
8tamos cannot, in the present state of the art, be
printed anywhere out in tne ireasary penurt
nient. This effectually prevents counterfeiting.
The stamps, as well as the paper upon which
thev are printed, were invented by Mr. "3. M.
Clark, Chief of the Printing Bureau.

The rates of discount for money remain about
the same, viz,: 4 to 6 per cent, oa Government
and other acceptable collateral. The promi
nent feature of the market to-day was the ex
citement in gold, which sold up to 148, an
advance of 25 upon the opening figure of yes
terday. This upward movement is caused, ia a
measure, by a combination ot New York specu
lators, the limited supply of floating coin, and
the general belief that the premium will rise
much higher on commercial and political
grounds.
The raid made la New York open Erie, by
which tho price was materially lowered, has
