SHERNINGE . AM , BEAB LOWJESTOPFS . —The , followingis an extract of a letter received yesterday , dated Oct . IS : — "I regret to inform yon we witnessed the Joss of the Emily , of and v from Qjole , Mr . W . CaJveison , master , this morning , about two o ' clock , opposite the Coast-guard station at Weyboume , during the storm . Directly she struck , the ersw flew to the rigging , where they remained till five o ' clock , when the Coast-guard succeeded in enacting a communication with the wreck by means of a line rope previously conveyed on board by means ef Dennett's Rocket , tbua enabling them to launch a boat , and save the master and some of the crew , but two poor fellows , named John Osborne and Thomas Jackson , were drowned . Tha vessel , which is laden with wheat , will become a perfect wreck .
Feom Bideford the accounts are of a most painful description , several ships having been lost during the storm , and which we , regret to state , were attended by a lamentable loss of life , At at other ports , the wind blew fearfully from N . W . to NN . E ., Bnd at about three o ' clock in the afternoon of Wednesday last , the well-known brig Ganges , Capt Owen , of the port of Sunderland , was blown to the north part of the Bideford Bir , and , no doubt , before this , has gone to pieces . Immediately on the vessel striking , the crew took to the main-top , the heavy surf sweeping the decks fore and aft , -when the life-boat was put off . in order to take the poor creatures from the dreadful situation in which they were . Owing , however , to the boisterons state of the weather , the boat coald not
make tbe least way , and , accordingly , the attempt failed . By tbe next morning , all imagined that they must have perished , but Bome surprise may be conceived , when the crew were still noticed clinging to the rigging , haviBg remained in that position throughout the whole night , amidst the violence of the storm . The life-boat was again launched , and through the humane and almost superhuman efforts of the coast-guard , the crew of the brig were at last taken from the rigging , &nd landed in safety at this port . A short time before the -wreck occurred , a vessel , apparently a schooner , was seen to go down about half a mile from the shore , and from ihe fact that the erew have not since beer * seen or heard of , it is presumed that they must have perished with ber . A boat has since been waabed on shore , with tbe name painted "Harry Bluff , of Berkley , P . G . T . Miller , master , " and it is considered that she
belonged to the unfortunate vesseL Another shocking shipwreck happened during the storm sear this place , a brig , supposed to be tbe Blncher , of Slomcester , went down off tbe harbour with every ose ef tbe hands , whose bodies as yet have not been found , and a fishing boat , belonging to Clovetty , whilst lying at her nets , herring filing , was driven on the Peppereombe rocks , and lost Her captain , Mr . Barman , and a man named Johnson , were drowned with her . The E ! Zi , laden with coals , from Wales to Cork , was totally wrecked in Croyd Bay , near this port , but fortunately the whole of the crew were saved . Numbers of other vessels have been driven on to tbe sands and rocks , and throughout the whole of the neighbourhood the most painful sensation has been created in the minds of the inhabitants , from the melancholy and disastrous results of the late hurricane .
AJfOTHSB WKECK- —A co-respondent informs us of the shipwreck of the Mary Anne , of Arbroath , about six miles from Islay , on Wednesday night last , with the loss of all hands on board , except a young seaman , Tiamed John Purvis . She sailed last from Newcastle for StrtDgford I / jngh , on Tuesday -week , with a cargo of ninety-five tons of wheat Be'ides the Captain , whoBe name was David Cargill , her crew consisted of five sailors , one of them a boy . Tbe Wary Ann foundered off the Buns of Islay . When the Captain and crew discovered that tbe pumps were quite choked , and the vessel was going dotn , they took to the boat , and endeavoured first to ieM ~ ? Islay , but failed , the -wind blowing from the N-E . They then ms . de for the Mull of Kintyre , but failing in this attempt also , they
stood before the wind , and before daylight were , as they thought , off Portrnsh , and made for the Ballyachron Strand , near Portstewart , when they got among the breakers and the boat was npset , and five of the six individual ! on board met a watery grnva The names of those who were drowned were—David Cargill , the captain and owner , an old man , about 70 years of age ; Peter Cargill , his son , abont 22 years of age ; Alexander Stephens , son-in-law of tbe captain , aged 44 , who has left a widow and five children ; George Shanks , and Charles Duke . If one of the bodies were washed ashore except that of the captain , on which an inquest was held on Thursday , when the facts above related were elicited . John Parvis , the oniy survivor , is unmarried . He is 21 years of age , and is a smart , intelligent young man .
Moke Disasters . —Cromer Oct . 18— Thiamorning , at about one o ' clock , a gale suddenly rese , and at two it increased to a perfect hurricane . 11 the afternoon of yesterday , as the weather was excedingly fine and calm , a number of fishing-boats , each containing a crew of four or five men , left Cromer in search of fish , and , as the elements were highly favourable , there is no doubt they went off to a great distance , for . in such cases they often push their voyage to an extent of-forty , or fifty miles- Many of these boats are open and undecked , and not more than twenty feet long , and the largest afford but very alight protection against the weather or ather casualities . This morning none of the number that went out -were in sight , and , up to the present hour , two o ' clock p-ro , nothing bas been seen or heard of them . There is one melancholy
exceptiona boat -which contained five men has been washed ashore at Baaton , near Minsley ; one body only has been found , and there is not the least doubt but that the whole crew have found a watery grave . One poor fellow has left a wife and six young children . It is difficult to ascertain the number of boats absent , but it is commonly said about twelve or fourteen . Their fate is , of course , donbtful , but very serious apprehensions are entertained on account of them . Some vessels are in sight , and one , apparently a large brig , has a signal » f distress ( a flag in her main rigging ) flying . Messengers are sent out along the coast , and it is feared dreadful accounts -will b « brought in in the morning . A vessel , the Friendship , from Goole , laden with chalk , has also come ashore at the same place , with a similar kind of craft called a billybnoy , which Is run ashore , and the mate , a Cromer man , lost hiB life .
loss op the AMPHITB 1 TE . —By the arrival of her Majesty's sloop Fantome at Portsmouth on Monday last , information had been received of the total loss of the British brig AmphUrite , Commander Mr . H . Wills , oa the 21 st of Jnly , off the island of Lobaeq ? re , rear Monte Yideo , full particulars ef which will be found in the snbjoined abridgment of the Captain ' s statement relative to her loss . About noon on the : 20 th of July she was close mto Cape St Mary * , on the lookout for a pilot , but none appearing , and there being a light easterly wind , she continued her course , and at mid-day on the 21 st she was off the above island . The wind afterwards increased with great violence , and a heavy shower of h * and rain began to fail , and there being no pilot to be seen en the station all her sail was shortened , and she hove to ' abont two o'clock in the afternoon , with her head to the southward , the weather
i being at that time very thick , and several high breakers j near to her . She , bowever , still made way , although ; tery little , going at the early part of the evening at not more than two knots an hour . At eight o'clock tbe weather had become exceedingly misty , so much « o that the ship's length could scarcely be discerned , and every precaution was adopted in order to prevent accident , a man being constantly at her mast bead , and the ; leaa kept going . The captain , fearing from the violence of the gale that if fee anchored on the spot she wenld oe blown away from her moorings and every soul perish , determined on keeping her under canvass , as i from her position he aupposed she would make the Mount by the following morning , she iept going on very steadily tQl about midnight , at which time tbe captain went down below for a short period , I the mate being at the mast-head , when he no sooner 4 id I so than he heard a distant shock from her striking for-! ward , though in six fathoms , aft and hind . The cap-> tain instantly rushed on deck , and put the helm 8-poxt ,

which ahe answered , and the sails were set The heavy Berf , however ; that was running , kept constant ) , * beating her on the shoal , and the crew expected every moment that she would be beaten to atoms , and they all meet with a watery grave . Ska soon got cleat , and the captain decided on running for Monte Video , although the weather was exceedingly dark . Accordingly the pumps were kept going , and the carpenters set to work to repair the ship . Unfortunately , however , she had received too great an injury , as the sea was flowing into the hold . Notwithstanding this the captain still kept her on the tack , and it was only at three o ' clock on the following morning , when the water
was level with the cabin decks , that the captain and crew , thirteen in nnmber , left the ill-fated vessel in her boats . She soon went down In deep water , and the crew then steered for the above port , in doing which they encountered mosi tempestuous weather , the boat at one time being almost fall of water and amidst breakers . At length , after the lapse of six hours , they Bucceeded in leaching Monte Video , greatly fatigued from excessive exertion and exposure to cold . At this port it appears the poor fellows were not treated by the consul in that kind manner which their destitute « ase deserved . They have , however , safely arrived in Eogland . o

M . De Lamartine , the staunch supporter of the Republican cause , and declared enemy to the tyranny of the present King , has recently published a most adrmrable article upon the future intentions and duties of the Parliamentary Opposition , in Le Bien Pubiio ( The Public Good )—a journal which he nimself has established at Macon , the place that he represents in the Chamber of Deputies . His manifesto is exciting great sensation , and causing work for all the corrupt writers to reply to its statements , and support as they best can the present order of things . Our readers may judge of ihe article by the fellowing paragraph : —
"The revolution willed that France should be a democracy . Successive ministers declare , on the contrary , that royalty , with aristooraey for its basis , is indispensable . They demand a political hereditary right for the peerage , a sovereignty by right of birth , and they deplore their -want of power in this mannner to . overthrow equality . The revolution declared that all citizens should be equal . The present system , on the contrary , divides them intocategories , gives political power to one , and condemns the other to implicit obedience . The revolution declared the King to be an hereditary magistrate , his power emanating from the people ; and opposition to the government renders royalty a superior , independent power , attracting all to itself
aad sure to triumph over all , with time for its minuter and faction for its prerogative . Nay , the power of the nation over interregnums has been taken away by a rrgency-law . The revolution ordained that the King should send away troops from the vicinity of tbe Legiplative Assembly , and it removed the Bastile . The present government has spent three hundred millions on bas tiles erected round the capital , ihe seat of thelawand the legislature . The revolution declared that religious liberty should be absolute and sincere ; declared that no hand should be raised between God and man , no conbeience lowered to tbe altar of a dominant sect , that there should be no state religion , bat all species of worship be equal . Instead of this the Government upheldB one species
of worship against all oibers . It declares creeds legal or illegal , and makes the altar an object of administration . And , if two or three persons meet together , in the . name of a common belief , to pray , it sends the gend'armerie to disperse the worshippers and imprison the pastor . The revolution declared that commerce and industry should be free . Government creates a privileged feudality , aad creates a monopoly in favour of the rich producer . The revolution declared that the law should be the expression of the general wish . Government has declared it to be the will of merely two hundred thousand electors . In short , if the members of the National ABsembly were to rise from the grave , they would not know their work , so has it been disfigured .

Instead of a democracy there is an oligarchy ; instead of equality an electoral noblesse ; instead of magibterial royalty a dynastic one ; instead of a free press , the laws of September ; instead of the right of association , the prohibition for any number to meet under any pretext ; instead of emancipated religion , there are religious quarrels , and sects disputing their share of the budget ; instead of property fairly divisible , there reigns the old system of taainmorte in the re-establishment of religious corporations ; instead of free trading we have the reign of capitalists ; instead of the moral supremacy of intelligence there exists that of wealth , of landed and commercial property 1 "

The latter was charged with having kept up a treasonable correspondence with the leaders of the Ayacacho party * particularly M . Cardero , former Political Chief of Badajoz . The Castellano contains a letter from Calamoucha of the 9 th , stating that on the 8 th a column of the Centralists of Saragossa , 1 , 500 strong , presented themselves before Teruel . The majority of the
National Guard , sympathizing with them , wished to open the gates and fraternize with the insurgents ; but ths authorities resisted , and sent to request assistance from the commander of the forces before Saragosaa , who had"not , however , a man to spare . The correspondent of the Castellano accordingly inferred that the Centralist banner had been hoisted at Teruel . The Eco del Comercuy announces the pronouncement of Oliva , near Alicant , on the 5 th General Amettler , Military Commander of the province of Saotander , had been dismissed from that

Chose tbe neutral ground near Gibraltar for the field of action , which the officers refused , and as he would not swerve from the choice , they rushed into t £ > e office with swords drawn , and illtreated the peop le employed there ; and , not content with this , they went to his private house , and frightened the women out of their lives | after this brilliant exploit they wen . * home , but fearing exposure in the next day ' s pape ^» they w < int in increased numbers to the office , and u ' eolared that the paper shiuld not come out , under thi .

Letter 3 froiu" Cadiz of the 7 th detail all the circumstances . "
A letter in the Times , datt / d Graoia , Oot . 13 th , gives the following news of an * other failure of the besieged but heroic Baroelonese ; ~ " Nothing daunted at the ill success of their attempt to seize the citadel , and *** " > Gracia by aBsault , the insurgents made another t > ffort I * * « ve » - ing , in the direction of Barceloneh e « W 1 «* the object , no doubt , of driving out the troov ' ocoupying that place .- About five o'oiookv p . m ,, a I attalion of the Patnlea left the gate of the city leadin « to Barcelonette , and commenced a sharp fire of mus . Ketry oo the troops , whilst the fort of Atarazanas ope . ^ d its guns in the same direction . " These hostilities were replied to by the fbrfc r ^ Carlos , the citadel , the fort Pio , and Montju . ' i while all threw , in quick and almost uninterrupt ° succession , shells , grenades , and round shot againt the assailants . ''
In the meantime a demonstration was made in another quarter . The writer says : — " The attempts made by the battalion on the side of Barcelonette failed in a short time . They had scarcely advanced outaide the gate , when they were driven back again , and with loss ; and , on the Bide of Gracia , the party that had come out by the Puerta del Angel did not fire a shot . " The firing , however , on the other side , continued the whole of the evening . From five o ' clock until eight o'clock , Fuorte Pio , San Carlos , and the citadel , threw in shells and round shot in great quantity . Montjuich fired about a dozen shots , and then
became silent , " From private , but certain sources of information which have reached me this morning , at an early hoar , from Barcelona , at whose , very gates almost we are , I learn that up to eleven o ' clock last night not less than forty seven of those who were wounded in the attaok on the citadel , whioh I noticed in my letter of the 8 ; h , died in hospital of the injuries received in that affair ; and several others are beyond all hope of recovery . Such losses suffered by men shut up bo closely as the insurgents are in Barcelona , and Who are unable to replace the men they thus lose , must be attended with the most terrible results to themselves .
M It must not , at the same time , be denied that , by the latest accounts , all was not going on very favourable with Prim ; . This first attempt on Girona was a failure ; which , perhaps , the presumption of that individual , in supposing its conquest would be to him as easy as that of Mataro , sufficiently merited . I before alluded to the fact of his artillery having been compelled to withdraw from within range of the guns of the castle of Girona . Since then a great number of his men were brought in wounded to Mataro , where they remain in hospital .
" Thirty-nine prisoners , amongdt whom was an officer of the Somatens raised in favour of Amettler , were bropght in here the day before yesterday . They were , officers and all , bound with cords and their arms pinioned ; they had been taken at Manresa . They were subsequently transferred to the citadel . They manifested the usual indifference on those occasions ; entering the town , aad leaving for their place of detention , smoking their cigars , and chatting and laughing with their escort , as if nothing extraordinary had happened to them . They Were , it must be confessed , savage and ferocious individuals —the very beau-ideal of the lawless Catalan mountain warriors . " The French Telegraph brings the following : — " Bayonne , IZtb ; Madrid , 15 th . " At two o ' clock this day the President of the Council came before the Cortes with the decree declaring the Legislature open .

' — M * nBi » , Oct . 14 th »—The Posdata of to-day has a letter which confirms the fact of the pronunciamento of Leon in favour of the Central Junta . It states that it had been for some time notorious that Buch a thing was about to take place ; and ; there being but few regular troops- there , the military commander determined upon transferring his head quarters to some strong place , and selected the barracks of the National Guards , whom he ordered to turn out , which they ultimately did , though the guards at the gate at first resisted t that immediately after the town became in a state of agitation , and at half-past , two p . m ., the drums of the National Guards were beaten , and a number of officers and men assembled at the Cathedral , not ,
however , amounting to more than fifty- Tne Military Commander , Political Chief , and other authorities proceeded to the Cathedra ) , at the head of the provincial Regiment of Leon , and ordered the troops to fire upon the nationals ; but instead of doing 60 , the officers in command of the troops seized the authorities themselves , and made them prisoners . Thoy then proceeded to proclaim the Central Junta , and elected a local Junta , of which D . Gabriel Alvnrea is president ^ D . Francisco Rico , vice-president ; and Senors Salvador , CartUo * J . R . Boloque , J . Ballon , Gabriel Lavandu , Jose Llamazares , J . Cereoeda , and Carlos Arguollos , members ; . and Senors Sotero Rico and Manuel Arriola , secretariee It is also reported to-night that . Alicante has pronounced in a similar sense , and that great agitation and confusion prevailed at Volladolid when the mail left .
More troops have been brought into Madrid today . ' A , large force of cavalry , entered from the north . The Tarantula asserts thst 15 , 000 rations of bread have been ordered for to-morrow . The Correspondent of the Ghronicle of the abov ? date , says : — " The experiment is now being triad how far Spanish troops and French money will go towards effecting the objects , of the Moderados and their allies on the other side of the Pyrenees . . Large sums of money have lately some in from France ; and though the government papers assert that eight millions of francs , which lately arrived here from that quarter , was all on private account , there is no doubt large sinus have gone into the treasury , which would otherwise have been unable to new clothe the troops here , and meet the necessarily heavy expenses of marching troops from one end of the counrry to the other , and carrying on the present military operations in Catalonia and Axragon . "
On this subject the Eco , a Madid paper , says : — M It is reported that the government has received sixty millions of reals from France within these few days , and that , as the French government does not give the money for nothing , it must either have been got on usurious terms , or on terms injurious to the national dignity and independence . " Swiss Meiicknaiues .- —It would appear from the Swiss paper Helvxtie of the 3 rd , copied by the Ecot that Senor Luis Aillon , the new Charge d * Affairs of Spain ,, has applied to the Swiss Government for leave to ratise a eorps of 3 , 000 men , to form a royal guard for Doua Isabel II . The Gazette has taken no notice of the statement ; and though the Heraldo affects to treat it as ridiculous , it is far from improbable that such a step is contemplated . [ The Swiss , before they engage in this service , should remember the fate or other "Swiss Guards " , parti daily those who fell by French pikes on the ever-memorable 10 th of August . ]
Terrorism . —Letters from Madrid of the 15 th describe the state of terrorism in which the capital continues to be kept . PersonB carrying walking sticks , canes , or whips , are " disarmed" by the police ! The arbitrary arrests continue . Two Editors of the Arrgonese Eco de la Revolution , who committed the imprudence to come to Madrid , have been thrown into prison . Twenty-two of the disarmed National Guard were seized in ono coffeehouse and six more in another * charged with " conspiring , '' and thrown into prison . This cannot last . ¦ Greece . —The following are extracts from Greek papers received since our last : —
" The memorable day of the 15 th of September , the day oh which such glorious changes took place , which have at once revived the prospects of the nation , has been celebrated throughout the kingdom by festivals and illuminations , and Te Deums sung in all the churches . Letters have been received to that effect from all the provinces and inserted in the papers of the metropolis . At j& * ium ( Vostizza ) all the -British merchantmen at : anchor there hoisted their colours and seemed-to partake of the national rejoicings . All the men on board these vessels were invited by the inhabitants to celebrate with them the day of their political regeneration .
At Missolonghi , the 15 th . of September has been celebrated in a most patriotic manner . The daughter of the memorable Marco BoUaris , the hero who , like another Leonidas , gloriously fell at the commencement of the Greek revolution against the Turks , in describing to her sister ( Maid of Honour to the Queen ) tbn festivals that took place at MisBolOnghi , expresses ii : a most enthusiastic manner her grief at not being present with her at Athens to witness the concourse of the people , and to hear their clamours in demanding their rights . She then continues , With emphatio truth and charming frankness , to relate what took place at Missolonghi . "You would have thought , " says she , ' at that moment , that all the inhabitants oi Messplbnghi were electrified . The cries of ' The constitution for ever' ascended up to heaven , and the people were embrac-

These days , " she further adds , " are as so many festivals ; and O , sister , if the King could but just have a sight at . his subjects here , he would . feef proud of his ruling over them ; but this he will understand in course of time , when he becomes better accquainted with those he fancies his enemies . " The editor of the Age in inserting this letter of the daughter of Botzire 3 , extols her for her patriotic feelings , and recommending it to the perusal of all , adds : " These are undeniable proofs that the wish of being governed constitutionally has been , and is , deeply rooted in the breasts both of the men and women of Greece . " !
Great proparations have been making for tha convocation of the National Assembly , and orders have been issued to all the ! provincial governors by the new Ministry to that effect . The 1 st ( , 13 th ) November has been fixed by the Ministry as the time of the assembling of the representatives in the metropolis to commence their important business . Several appointmeuts and changes have taken place , both in the military and eiril departments . Indeed , the whole face of the country is clearing from the adherers of the old system and all things , as it were , become new . The Ministers of the late diabolical system have been obliged to quit the metropolis—Rizo is gone to Constantinople , Chrystides to Syra , Ralli and Vlachopulo to Poros , and Kriezes to Hydra . ¦

ef any aot , which may have a tendency to bring us whhin the vortex of foreign politics , or afford an opening to the wiles of foreign influence—a policy Which had its origin in the farewell admonitions of the Father of bis country , and was enforced by the great Apostle of civil and religious liberty—there may ; be honest differences of opinion amongst us in relation to tbe extent of the agency which an American citizen can with propriety exercise in controversies involving the internal or external relations of other , countries But in the ardor and sincerity of our wishes for the success of ail who labour for the extension of human rights , and our deep and abiding sympathy in the suffering condition of those whose patriotic efforts you desire to aid , all true republicans must be of one mind I cannot bring myself to believe that an exhibition of opinion by our people favourable to the jaatice and
wisdom of a reform in the political system of another country , to be accomplished , if accomplished at all , by constitutianal and legal means , accompanied by an expression also of our fervent wishes : for the success of all such means when applied to such ends , however great may be their moral force , can be Justly regarded as a censurable departure from a policy so elevated in its origio , and fortunately thoroughly incorporated with the public sentiment of this country . ¦ The fact that an immense majority of the people of Ireland , after an experience of nearly half a century , are throughly satisfied that the legislative union which they desire to abrogate , and which derives all its moral force , from being designed to promote their happinesss and welfare , has proved ruinous to both , ia of itself sufficient to enlist the feelings of every American citizen thoroughly imbued with the spirit in which his own institutions are founded . - ¦
The results of this experience are moreover in harmony with the dictates of reason . No distinct people deprived of a local legislature can be well governed . Tbe nature of man most be changed before any legislative assembly , wherever convened , or however carefully selected , will be found to legislate for , a separate and distinct people , of whose particular wants ; they must to some extent at least be ignorant , and whose interests may not always correspond with their own , as prudently , as wisely , or as usefully , as when passing laws which are to operate directly and equally upon themselves and upon those amongst whom they live . Acting upon this principle , of tbe entire soundness of which there can be no doubt the Government of the United States have always been careful to confer npon their territorial districts when numbering in population only a few thousands , the right to territorial-legisla tures chosen by themselves from among themselves , and subject to tbe same responsibilities to their constituents , as are the representatives of the Federal and State €
tovernmenta . Apply these views to Ireland , containing probably e ! ght millions of people always separate from and for ages independent of the nation which now exercises most , if not all , the prerogatives of the sovereignty over her ; and ic would seem impossible to doubt the justice or utility of the proposed modification of a union which does not appear ever to have subserved the pur * posea for which it was originally framed .

MR . VAN BUREN ON REPEAL . ( From the N ? w York Plebeian . ) We are extremely gratified at being able to lay before our readers to-dov the following highly interesting letter from Mr . ] Van Buren , on the subject of Irish Repeal . It was written in answer to the communication of a Committee , acting on behalf of the friends of Irish liberty ^ in the vicinity of Milledgeville , Ga ., tendering him an invitation to meet with them on the 4 ih of July , 1843 , to devise suitable measures relative to the existing state of affairs in Ireland . Mr . Van Buren has taken such a view of the Repeal movement ) as was to be expected from one who , on all occasions , has proved himself the unwavering friend of popular rights and the consist tent advocate of civil arid religious liberty throughout the world . ! Lindenvaid , June 19 th , 1843 .
Gentlemen , — I have bad the honour to receive your letter inviting me , in behalf of the friends of Irish liberty in Milledgeville and its vicinity , to meet with them on the 4 th of July , for the purpose of Revising suitable measures to ] further the efforts of their brethren in Ireland to secure for themselves the inestimable privileges of civil ] and religious liberty ; and desiring an expression of my views and feelings upon the subject , in tbe event ofjuiy not being able to attend in person . j It can scarcely be necessary to assure you ot the pleasure it wonld afford mejto meet a portion of my fellow cit ' zsns 8 o well entitled jto my respect and gratitude , on a day and an occasion , which are both so full of interest , bat this , as you reasonably anticipate , is out of
