      " Some of the employers in our locality , who never acted the better part of man to their hands , ( except they eonld not help it ) , are doing all they can to make the well-intemtioned among yon believe that we are making use of the Pieeers for means which will sub-¦ equenUy prove injurious to all ; and that we are encouraging them in that which we ought not to do . :.

Buffering humanity , have caused many who perhaps sever thought seriously on the subject before ^ to pause , and to take into serious consideration the sayings and doings of the Chartists .

We give the following extracts : — I have often felt proud of being an Irishman when I have frequently witnessed noble and generpas traits in the characters of my countrymen ; but I assst confess thattbfl . blush of shame has often mantled on my ebeek wkenlhave rtfiectedtnat I belonged to a land that has been so long the foot ball of your sportive rnerdnary , peculaQve policy . Ton have abused the slave holders of America ; but what have you ever been but a great profitable slaveholder f have you not , by means

      of the lash of your persuasive tongue , forced the most impoverished people in the world to ton for years- at the chariot wheels of your despoiling political power ? Tour Bepeal policy has always been a failure with you , except as for as the rent is concerned . In the first place , your arrogant ambition led you to denounce , and , when you could , destroy , many talented and energetic friends of the people , the moment they attempted to place their feet upon the same political platform with you . I will set here mention names , as ihe veH of the tomb T »« wg « o'er some of them ? Tour exclusive monopoly has deprived Ireland of the assistance of four millions r » y TgqgH ^ hTnpWj irhose assistance in the time of need would have enabled you to stand upon Conquer Sill , and tell the British Minister to " post his proclamations nearer home . "

      For the last four years you have connived as the formation of a faction in England , with the feigned object of extending the suffrage from brick houses to mud walls , but really for the purpose of destroying the people ' s best friends , whom your arrogant ambition and exclusive monopoly could never acknowledge as such . O , sir , this is the rock on which you have split . This 13 thfi policy that has desecrated the " field of fame" , of our chivalrous ancestors with , the presence of bristling bayonets on the once glorious " Cenquer Hill of Clontarf ; " "while by your bombast and bragadocia you have caused a brave but enslaved people to be more poignantly insulted with the presence of troops , the very colour of whose costs are sufficient to recall , with thrilling horror , the deeds of the Berisfords and their sanguinary cohorts ! * * * ?

      It would be too bad to see you in a similar place to Tork Gastle , with " Ssrjeant O'Leary and a few Irish beys" reading for your amusement your besstial buffoonery over ihe fate of the amiable John Frost , when you thought be was on the verge of the yawning grave I No , So , Dan ; you win avert this if you can—and therefore you wish to come to England under the wing of Joseph Sturge . The road is being prepared for you ; but mark there are thorns in it 1 ? » Poor Jack Lawless once made you cry in the Corn Exchange for bavrng offered to barter thB forty shilling freeholders ; but it appears that unfortunate Ireland &as no Lawless now to dip yonr golden pinions , or stay your aerial night .

      THE EXECUTIVE'S ADDRESS . Sbotbeb Chartists , —We have by this day ' s post , received printed copies of certain resolutions agreed to in Nottingham , on Tnesday , October 15 th , which resolutions have been industriously circulated throughout the various towns in the kingdom , accompanied by letters requesting the Chartists to call public meetings , to express their opinion of our conduct , in striking the principles out of the Plan of Organization , and keeping the people in ignorance of the same- These resolutions have been published in one of the Nottingham journals ; but have been withheld in the NorUtem Star , We consider it decidedly improper for our Nottingham brethren to have taken these steps , without having first sought for an

      explanation from the Executive pro tern ., who "were the parties on whom the business devolved . The report , in its main features , is entirely false . Previous to Mr , O'Connor leaving London for his Northern tour , THB plah , as agreed to at Hie Conference , was laid before counsel for their opinion . No other Plan has ever been submitted to counsel ; but wishing to obtain Tidd Fiatt ' s reasons for refusing to certify , and believing the " principles" to be the main objection , we , actwg oh He suggestion of our legal adviser , and other influential friends , including the Editor of the Northern Star , in order to ascertain the correctness of this impression , laid the Plan again before him , in iuxta-position with

      the Socialists ' plan ; but with ihe principles transposed . By so doing wx pobckd him to give beasons : fob his EEF 0 SAL j and those reasons we can now combat . We never intended to make any other plan than that stamped by the approval of Conference * the groundwork of any legal proceedings . The principles of the Charter are our principles . Sy them we are determined to stand or falL If we fail in procuring the enrolment , we must proceed as we have hitherto done , without it 5 but the principles we will never abandon . Trusting that this explanation will be satisfactory , and that every attempt to create disunion will be baffled by the good sense of the people .

      We remain yours , Thomas Clabk . Besb"x Boss . Philip M'Gbath , President T . M . Wheeler , Secretary .

      STORM AT LIVERPOOL , Ac We add some additional particulars to those we published yesterday : — The tide—as indicated in the almanack—was at the foil it thirty-five minutes past iwo o ' clock ; and in calm -weather would have risen to a height of fifteen feet ten inches ; bat , driven In by the pressure of the gale , it flowed pome minutes beyond the hour stated ; attaintd a greater height , and , as might be expected , was more than usually tardy in its reflux after it bad gained its maximum . The sea at high water washed over portions of the quays ; and the

      Bteamers from the opposite ferries had some difficulty in landing their pasBeDgers , many of whom , both male and female , from farms in the neighbourhood , it being market d * y , did not venture to return until Sunday morning , when the storm had abated . Several large vessels that had pnt back came np in picturesque style under dose reefed topB&ils ; minor craft also appeared almost under bare poles . The Duke of Wellington , from Honduras , fell in with the brig Nile ( before noticed as lost ) , remained by her some time , and those on board saw her founder , with all hands , without being able to render her any assistance .

      The brig Mary , Captain James Turner , sailed from the Bay ot Honduras , with a vatable cargo of mahogany , logwood , and coooa nuts for stowage , called at Cork for orders , and proceeded towards this port . Until she reached Holyhead she hold a favourable gale , and on Thursday morning took a pilot . On tiie afternoon of that day it came on to blow , and she was laid-to until two o ' clock on Friday afternoon , when the gale moderated they rah a short distance , and let go both anchors ; unfortunately , however , the best gave way , and the larboard anchor was only an inferior one , and could not in any probability hold , it was shipped , and the crewreefed the foretopsail with the intention of again laying her to ; but , so violent was the gale at this time that all attempts

      to set it after it was reefed proved abortive . With the fore-topsail shaking she was held as dose to it as she could go , but , making great lee-way , touched the shore about ten o ' clock on Saturday night . As the tide rose she again fioated , bnt 4 > nly to drive further up , as she was now perfectly unmanageable , the eea making a clear breach over her ; until daylight the crew suffered greatly . The agents at Lloyd ' s , Messrs . Tyrer and Eccles , who , with a person of the same of Meadows , were on the alert as daylight succeeded , by the assistance of a pony , in conveying the erew on shore . One , however , was missing , and , on the agents returning , he was fonnd lying dead on the deck . His face was . dreadfully man gled , and from all appearance he had been washed by a heavy

      sea beneath some loose spars on deck , which , on the water leaving them , had crushed him to death . An inquest will be held on the body this day . The unfortunate individual was cook and steward , and , we learn , belonged to Sheffield . The crew , inclusive of the captain , consisted of twelve persons , all of whom are considerably injured , and have lost all their clothes . After the crew were got on shore , the principal portion of them were taken to the receiving-house , where they were most kindly treated . A number of sailB and other articles have been got on shore , as also have a quantity of the coooa nnts . The vessel herself has every appearance of becoming a total wreck , her hull having parted near the bends . She is the property , we believe , of Mr . Morrison , of this town .

      Early on Sunday morniDg a large portion of gram and other cargo was washed on shore between Sonthport and Formby , but principally near the latter place . From the marks it bears it is evident that it is part of the cargo of the Lady Bentinck , which sailed on Thursday last ; frem Waterford for Liverpool . The crew must all have perished , but none of the bodies bare yet been recovered , nor has a vestige of the wreck been seen . The cargo was insured , but we eonld not learn whether the vessel was or not . We learned that a large quantity of batter had been washed on shore near Southport , and as the Lady Bentinck had little or no butter on board , it is to be feared that some other vessel has shared the Bame unfortunate fate .

      The sloop Vernon , with a cargo of potatoes , the property of Mr . Cain , of Liverpool , was driven on shore about two miles to the northward of Formby Point . She was from the Isle of Man . Such was the force of the gale that she was driven np on the beach into three feet of water , so that the crew waded on shore . The Formby life-boat was out during the gale , bnt was unable to render any great assistance to the distressed vessels that were seen , owing to the frightful state of the Burf . —Ttmet , ot Wednesday .

      Moss Vessels Lost . —Every day brings intelligence of additional disasters during the late gale . The General Steam Navigation Company ' s packet , the Menai , Captain Goodburn , arrived at Brighton from Havre on Monday , and he brings information of the sinking of a Dunkirk steamer off that town , when all iands perished . Near Beachy-head he fpoke the Shepherd , of Glasgow , from Singapore . Yesterday morning , the stern of a vessel , bearing the name of "Ann and Laura , " was washed on shore at Bri gh ton . It probably belongs to one of the vessels which we reported in yesterday ' s Times as having rank near Littlehampton on Saturday morning . —Times , of Wednesday .

      The Storm at Blick ^ ooi . —The following is an extract from a private letter dated Blackpool , Sunday afternoon : — How I do wish you had been here yesterday to have witnessed the storm ! From ei ^ ht in the morning , throughout the day , and all last night , we have had an unremitting hurricane . The rain has now ceased , and the sun is shining beautifully ; but the wind is still high , and the sea roaring and raging in fearful grandeur . Several vessels are in sight : one in particular is so near the shore as to cause much excitement and apprehension for her safety . She is sow got JHBt opposite our hotel , and we can see the people on the deck quite distinctly . * * I fear the poor vessel has strnck on the sands . Crowds of people aw rashing towards the spot : it is a painfully exciting scene , and I feel fomnnerved that I caa hardly hold my pen . The

      crew , 1 see , have got into a saall boat ; but they appear te be in imminenj danger every moment of beiDTswallowed np . * * O ! the small boat is npset , and all lo&t ; I can write no more at present . * The boat has again appeared , wita some of the poor men clinging to it . * 1 have been down on the sands , and learn there were four persons in the boa * ; a lady and gentleman , and two Bailors . The two sailors have got to shore alive r bat one of them , from the poor lady clinging to him bo long , seems almost dead . They have been earned to Dickson ' s HoteL The vessel wrecked » from Quebec , laden with floors and ashes . There are stui eight souls on board , without the least hope of being saved . It is impossibles render them the least ass stance . Poor men J may God have mercy on tnem ! The day is now very fine , bat the sea is Btill iWJully grand . "—Manchester Guardian .,

      Stohm at Scarborough . —This place was visited with avery severe storm on Friday evening last , which continued ihe whole of Saturday and the Saturday night . The brig Margaret , of Whitby , which was stranded on the 18 th alt ., and had re mained on the Bands , for the purpose of clearing her of her cargo , was attempted to bo got off on the Thursday , and the work not being completed before the storm arose , she was taken out to Bea , and went to pieces . Part of her has since washed upon the sands . So great w » s the violence Of the wind , that an unfinished house on the Esplanade was very much damaged , part of the end and front walls being blown down . The mill of Mr . Simpson Chambers , in Ramsdale , had a sail taken away , and several other persons , we understand , have suffered loss . The sloop "Georges , " of Leith , Craig , master , laden with barley , went on shore at . Filey during the storm on Saturday morning . —York Courant .

      The Late Stobjl—The storm which took place on Friday and Saturday last , has caused great damage to vessels in different parts of the coast on both sides of the island , as well as on the coast of Ireland . Several serious disasters have also taken place to vessels at sea , and in some instances the crews have been drowned . From Whitby , Scarborough , Burlington , Hull , Liverpool , and other ports , the aocountB of ¦ wrecks are numerous and disastrous . — York Courant . Manchester . Flood in the Iewbll . —Db STBUCTION Of THE TeMPOHABT FOOX-BKIDGE NEAR the New Bailey . —On Saturday evening , inconsequence of the heavy and continued rain , the water in the river Irwell rose to an unusually considerable

      height above its ordinary level , and came down with such force as to wash away a stage erected by Messrs . Pauling and Henfrey , contractors , at Hunt ' s Bank , for the purpose of carrying the iron beams to form the intended railway bridge across the , river at that place . The balks forming the stage fioated down the river in one raft , with great velocity and force , and came in contact with one of the uprights supporting the temporary foot-bridge at the end of Bridge-street , communi « ating with Salford . The result of the concussion was , that the upright or supporter was broken in two near the middle , leaving the bridge unsupported for about sixty feet . This was about eight o ' clock , and the occurrence was witnessed by Mr . Wilson , grocer , who happened to be in his cellar at the time , and saw the beams floating down the river . The passage over the bridge was immediately stopped , Messrs . Bowere and Murray , the contractors , placing a watchman

      at each end of the bridge about ten o ' clock , to prevent people crossing . Parf of it fell about ten o ' clock , and another part about twelve , the same night ; bnt , owing to the precautions taken , no life was lost nor any person injured . During this time the water continued to rise rapidly ; nevertheless , it is believed that the bridge would have remained as firm as when first fixed , bad it not been for the accident at Hunt ' s Bank . The water at its highest point was from four to five feet below the height to which it rose during the flood of 1839 . Several small boats were washed from their moorings between Victoria Bridge and the temporary bridge at the New Bailey ; some of these floated through the bridge in the early part of the evening without sustaining any injury , bnt others were broken to pieces amongst the timber which floated from Hunt ' s Bank , and accumulated at the bridge . — Manchester Guardian .

      Extensive Robbery—On Thursday last a parcel , containing notes of various Yorkshire and other Country Banks , to the amount of £ 3 . 000 , was stolen from the counting house of Messrs Edwin Birchall and Sons , in the Talbot Yard , Bradford . The parcel was loeked-up in a drawer of the deskj and the room left in the charge of a young man named Win . Booth , who had been for two years or more in their employ , for that purpose , on the market days- According to the statement of the young man he left for his dinner at half-past one , and returned at a quarter past two , leaving the key in the outer room . On the return of Messrs . Birohall to the room at about three o ' clock , at which hour they usually pay the manufacturers , the drawer was found open , the lock having been picked in their absence , ana the

      pare 3 l of notes abstracted . A pocket book contain * ing bills and cash , consisting of bank notes gold and silver , was left , which seems to lead to the suspicion that the persons who committed the robbing were previously acquainted with the contents of the parcel , otherwise it scams probable that they would have taken the pocket . book in preference . We understand that the young man , Booth , has been taken into custody ; but as yet no olue appears to have been obtained , that may lead to the detection of the thieves . The police are astively engaged in investigating into the circumstances of thh serious occurrence . A handbill ha ? been extensively circular d in the neighbourhood of Leeds , Bradford , Halifax , &c , offering a reward of £ 300 for the discovery of the robbers .

      Fatal Pc « ilistic Conflict . —Oq Monday morning last a pugilistic contest took place at the Gawend Farm , .-near the bridge over the Maccleafield Canal , in the township of Sutton , adjoining to Macelesfield , which terminated in the death of one of the combatants , George Hammond , and the committal for manslaughter , under the coroner's warrant , of his antagonist , John Crump , and sis others , as aiding and abetting . Of these , Crump and three others only are yec in custody . The facts are as follows : —George Hammond ( the deceased ) and John Crump had a quarrel on Sunday evening last , with several of the parties who were afterwards at the fight . In consequence of some quarrelling ( but not with deceased ) Crump gave a sort of general challenge , saying he Teould fight any one in Sutton , big

      or little—which Hammond accepted ; observing that they had had words before , and would be better friends after they shoald fight and see who was master . Monday morning the parties , with abott twenty or thirty others , proceeded to the place between seven and eight o ' clock . They fought for two hours and twenty minutes , during which time there were seventy or eighty romnds . There does not appear to : have been anything particularly unfair , according to the rules of the ring , in the mode of conducting the fight , although it is stated that Crump fell upon him with his . knee ia his stomach . The final result was , that Hammond on standing up to renew the fight , reeled a few paces back , fell down apparently iu a fib * was carried in an insensible state to a farm-honse , and expired before surgical aid was procured . —Maoclesfield Courier *

      IMPORTANT MEETING AT SADDLE WORTH .

      THE TRUOKSTER-LEAGUERS POUNDED to PtECES . On Friday evening , [ October 27 th , a meeting was holden in the large room attached to the Swan Inn , Doboross , cwhiohj will be remembered with pleasure by one portion j of it , and with chagrin by another portion , for a long time to come . The large room was crowded to suffocation ; and hundreds had to depart , who could not obtain admission . ! No meeting for a long period has excited , 1 so much attention as the one we are now chronicling . A great number of masters were present ; and the sequel will show that it was well for them that they were so . H . H . Broughton , Esq ., a magistrate , was in the chair ; and he introduced to the attention of the meeting Dr . Sleigh , who for about an

      hour-and-a-half pleaded in defence of the rights of labour , and against the acts of the " rich oppressor . " His arguments and facts were wormwood and gall to the free trading trucksters . They could not contain their bile and spleen ; but tried to throw the meeting into confusion by most unmannerly interruptions . The foremost at ( his kind of work was one James Lees , who by some unaccountable means or other has been manufactured into a magistrate . A more pompous , conceited , ignorant , unmannerly , tough-hided brute , could not be found in all Saddleworth ; and that is saying a great deal . His conduct was most [ shameful . He failed , however in his object . The people were not with him . They laughed at him ; derided him ; and put him down I \

      Dr . Sleigh , at the cloBe of his able address , introduced his admirable Memorial for the Protection of Labour , in which the ] case of Protection -o . Free Tradeism is so well stated ; and a motion was moved that the Memorial should be adopted by the meeting . j James Greaves , of Lees , once a pretended Chartist , but now employed by the Leaguers , offered a quassi sort of opposition ; but dare not venture to move an amendment . He joffered to discuss with Dr . Sleigh the question of a Repeal of the Corn Laws ,

      if arrangements were made . He showed his fitness to discuss either that ; question or any other , by stating , point blank , and stoutly maintaining , even when set right , that our foreign trade alone employed one half of our population I Dr . Sleigh said , that jhe must decline such discussion , not out of disrespect to Mr . Greaves : but he had challenged Messrs . Cobden and Bright ; and both those gentlemen had declined the challenge . He had repeated it however ; and he intended to wait to see whether it was accepted or not , before he discussed with any lesser man of the League .

      James Lees , the magistrate , then addressed the meeting on the question of foreign trade ; contending that it was far more important than many parties seemed disposed to oonsider it . In proof of his position he quoted ] from a statistical table , to shew that the foreign trade was more than . one-half as valuable as the home trade . Dr . Sleigb replied . He produced the table from which the hard-hided j magistrate had quoted ; and showed , moat triumphantly , that he had suppressed the truth ! He had only given a portion of the table ; that portion which seemed to favour bis position ; while the remainder he had kept in the back ground , beoause it upset the argument he had been advancing . This the Doctor showed to be the oase most conclusively , and convicted Less as a liar ia intention before the meeting .

      Mr . Hobson , from Leeds , who had attended at , the request of a number of the working people , next addressed the meeting . The announcement of his name caused great consternation amongst the TRUCKiNG-masters , who were present . He had been put in possession of a number of facts of a most astounding nature , relative to the prevalence and practice of truck amongst the FREE-traders ; and he used them with terrific effect ! It was as if a bombshall had been dropped in amongst them . Tho trucking-masters quitted their { seats ; crammed themselves into corners ; got behind folks ; pulled their hats over their { eyes ; and would have sunk through the earth to ] have , got out of the place . The crowded state of the roo ^ n prevented them from departing ; or their presence would soon have been removed . The facts we shall , at Some future time , make use of ; and tell all about the doings of " Lord Lotheroale" and his set of / m-tradere , who tie their poor slaves to their own counters !

      Before the memorial was put to the meeting , an amendment by way of an addition to it , was moved , to the effect that Protection to labour would be effeoted by a Repeal of the Bread and Malt taxes . When put to the vote , not thirty hands were held up for it , out of a meeting of more than five hundred . And when j the memorial was put to the votfl j not one hand was held up against it . It was earned unanimously , j James Lees then valiently challenged Dr . Sleigh to discussion ; he having heard him declare that he

      should decline a set discussion with every man , until he had met either Mr . ; Cobden or Mr . Bright . This valient offer Mr . Hobson witheringly exposed ; and told the antious-for-discussion man I hat if he meant the challenge in earnest , he ( Mr . Hobson ) would accept it , and discuss the question with him . Bat Lees now fell soft . He dare not tackle to . He slunk off : and the last we heard of him , was that he was in the "bar" of jthe Swan Inn , at half-past three next morning , with ten glasses of brandy-andwater in him , hiccuping that " he was the man that could beat them all" ! 1

      The Leaguers are discomfitted . Their rage is boundless ; only to be loom pared to the joy of the working people at their defeat . The tyrannies of the masters in that neighbourhood have been most monstrous . They were exposed for once ; and the guilty culprits were in the presence of the people when the exposure was made . A reduction in the wages of the men employed by the tippling-ma ^ istrate , Lees , had been effected on Monday the 2 Srd ; while the wages of the men employed by a master in his own immediate neighbourhood , a Mr . Hastings , had been enhanced some four or five shillings a--week ! The telling of those facts by Mr . Hobson had a wonderful impression on the meeting . The people in Saddleworth have had too much of the FREE-Traders to be in love with Free-Trade . {

      LATEST FROM IRELAND . THE STATE PROSECUTIONS . —NEW EVIDENCEi—THE POLICE . } Dublin , Oct . 31 . It has , up to this time , been a question whether the Government meant to go further back than the Repeal Demonstration ! at Clifden , county of Galway , for evidence to sustain the charges against Mr . O'Connell , and the other traversera . The only informations sworn , of which copies had been supplied to the travereers , were those of Frederick Bond Hughes , the Government reporter ; sub-Inspector Ireland , of the constabulary , whose depositions relate to the Clifden meeting ;! and those of Mr . Kemmis , the Crown solicitor , who swears as to the Repeal Associationsedition , and so forth .

      , I apprised you before that I had some reason to believe the Government had other witnesses ia the dark , whose names the traversers would hear for the first time when they were produced in court . In Ireland , I remarked at the time , the Crown sometimes adopted this practice , although I considered it not at all likely that . it would be resorted to in a state prosecution . According , however , to the information which has just reached me , a considerable , number of other witnesses are te be examined , besides those whose

      depositions have beeni published . Orders have gone down from Dublin iCastie , directing a number of policemen , who had attended the country Repeal meetings in plain clothes , to be nr Dublin next Frid ay morningj in order that they should bo ready for examination before the term grand jury to wfiom the bills of indictment against Mr , O Connell and the other tiraversers are to be sent up . Those policemen , it j is stated , were disgaised ib plain clothes , and mixed amongst the peasantry at the meetings , dressed in every way just like

      themselves . f . . . The Attorney and ! Solicitor-General , and other Counsel retained for the Crown , held a consultation for some hours yesterday , of coarse regarding the framing of the indictment , and generally respecting the prosecution . j ,, « ,, " . ,. The indictments against Mr . O'Connell and the other traversers are enormous in length . They are to be sent before the Grand Jury on Thursday or Friday . If true bills should be found , copies of the indictments are to be furnished to the traversers ,

      who will , probably , also , be served with a notice to plead within four days . As the indictments are bo extremely voluminous , this would be most difficult , if not impossible , and i in all likelihood the Judge will allow an extension of time for pleading . Mr . Justice Burton , and not Chief Justice Pennefather , is to address the Grand Juries for city and county at the opening of Term on Thursday next . * Already great numbers of people are arriving from the country to witness tho state trials—Afomtny Chronicle .

      STATE OF CL 3 TBH . The Northern Whig of Tuesday contains th © following statement , which has created no small surprise here , as it has reference to the so called M Protestant North : "" Military Precautions in Belfast . —We really were not aware that our rulers were providing so anxiously as they appear to be doing for the safety of the good people of Belfast . Mr . Gibson , assistant barrister for the county Antrim , found it necessary * yesterday ( Monday ) , to apprise the grand jurors , on ' charging' them , that if they could not

      manage to finish their business by five o ' clock in the evening , they would do weU to decamp ; otherwise they would have to encounter a ' charge * very different from his . In short , a strong body of military march down every evening , headed by a trumpeter , to sound an alarm , if occasion require , and take possession , for the night , of the room in whioh ihe Grand Jury are in the habit of meeting . This has been the case for some time past . It appears to be part of the system of caution acted upon by the Government ; but , besides being apparently very unnecessary throughout , it becomes inconsistent and offensive at present .

      ' " We understand that more loop-hole-ing is going on here , and that arrangements aie-ia progress for calling out and organizing the pensioners in this district . The ' rebels' may surely now give it up aa a bad job .
