S ome six weeks or so ago severa l matrimonial adverti sements appeare d i n th e London newspapers, from gentlemen wanting wives. Some members of the Leeds Stock Exchange took it into i their heads to honx some of these adventurers, and they accordingly entered into a correspondence with the parties advertising, adopti ng f or th e purpose the name • of Miss B a il ey . After some correspondence, two o f the parties s en t d own photographic likenesses o f . themselves, an d t h e third intimated that " he thoug h t the substa nce b et t er than the shadow, " and suggeste d a personal int erv i ew. " mi n B a il e y" thought so too, and wrote a ccor di ngly, lamenting the awkward posi tion she was i n , b ut adding, that she bad ment i one d the matter to h er b rother, who had reluctantly con sented to th e i n t erv i ew, and had promised to be pre sent at the int erv i ew as her protector. She also inti mated that a cou s i n o f hers kept the inn above name d , and that she and her brother would call at the hotel, and remain there until the arrival of the stranger, who was to ask for her by c ame. B y the nex t p os t the languishing swa i n wrote to say that he would be in Leeds by the trai n arriving here at 6 . 30 P.M . on Tuesday, and would at once drive to the hotel named in a cab. All this arranged, one of the party here, a stockbroker, underto o k to Play the guardian, and a clerk from the office was selected to personate the lady—Miss Bailey; no expe nse b e i n g spared to adorn the latter with suitable lady-like apparel. At the appointed hour Miss Di S' and her brother were at the hotel, waiting in a private room, w h en, at seven o'clock, a cab drove up - Miss Bailey an d her brother took their places on a sofa, and on the stranger inquiring for Miss Bailey, h e was shown into the 81 1 room. He was a gentleman of about 45, ruddy com plexion, and thin hair. He introduced himself as a certain midland county. iof " Atherston e ," in he young lady' s b rother introduced her as his sister. Mr. H-- was smi tten at f i rst s i g h t , f or Mr. H-- the young lady's pale and pensive features, the down cast eyes, commanding figur e , and rich flowing ring lets, would h av e been too m uc h for even a stouter heart than he could boast of, especially when it was made known th a t th e proprietor of this graceful form bad 1,5001. i n h er own r i g ht. Th e trio at once proceeded to business, th e brother putti ng a number of questions to Mr. H—, all of which were cheerfully and un suspiciously answered. Having satisfied the brother that he was pr e tty well to d o in the world, be added that he was a w idower with three children, but in.., order th a t th e y m i g ht not annoy the .), mother-in-law, they were to be sent to a boarding -school ; and, as to the young lady's fortune, which be was happy to find she possessed, it should be settled upon her and her children. With . these explanations Miss Bailey and fact, it was a settled for a f ew minutes, when hair c l ose to his mt h h e i r rn. gff. brother — T h e wereahtronce e r satisfied—in drreetwire his c lady love, and became very sentimental, giving full vent to the feelings of his heart. Miss B a il e y, w i t h be coming modesty, rebuked him for "such foolish ness," and his too familiar advances. In a short time the brother returned, and s a id h e h a d met with a few members family,whom he proposed to introduce at onc e . Mr. fi___ was in of the raptures, and desired bim to introduce them forth with, but he was somewhat astonished to find that in a few minutes not less than one hundred jovial souls, who had been waiting below, rushed into the room to laugh at him and the h oax which had been played. In an instant Miss B a il ey disappeared, while uncles, cousins, and other relatives shook him by the hand one after another. As soon as he found he was hoaxed, Mr. H— made a rush at the staircase, but mistook his way, and got into the bar of the house in stead of to the outer door. He was instantly penned in on all sides, so that he could nut escape, but was compelled to listen to the reading of the whole cor respondence, and, at last, in reply to the health of " Miss Bailey," a gentlemanly-looking young man, who had been sitting beside Mr. H—, smoking a cigar, rose and acknowledged the compliment, and de scribed the scene in the room when her brother left her. Eventually the Atherstone lover decamped, and has not since been heard of. SERIOUS CONFLAGRATION. SHEFFIELD, TUESDAY EVENING.-000 Of the most awful conflagrations that hat, ever occurred in this district took place to-day, on the farm of Mr. John Hawke, at .Darnall, a village about two miles from Sheffield, and which has consumed the entire produce of seventy acres. It a p peare d th a t M r . H aw k e finished his corn harvest about a fortnight ago. The crops were unusually pro lifi c, f orm i ng a range o f nineteen stacks, and containing in the aggregate about 1,000 loads. Besides these, there were three large hayricks on the t o p s id e of the yar d. O n T ues d ay morning a man was engaged in thatching the corn stacks, and whil s t be was absent for a f ew m i nu t es a t his breakfast, a neighb our name d Booker observed one of the hayri c k s i n flames. She i mme di a t e ly in formed Mr. Hawke of t h e c i rcums t anc e, but such was the rapidity with which the flames spread, that in less than a quarter of an hour the whole of the stacks w were in a bl aze , notw i ths t an ding the wind was blowing in an opp os i te d i rect i on . This, however, is easily accounted f or , as the ground bet ween the stacks was covered w i t h l oose straw , an d thus formed an easy means of co mmun i cat i on . As soon as the fire was discovered, a messenger was dispatched to Sheffield for the e ng i nes. He ar rived at the railway station when the t ra i n h ad just starte d f o r Sheffield; but being noticed b y the driver, w ho could also see the flames, th e t ra i n was stoppe d un til the man came up. By thi s means informat i on wa s recei ve d in the town w ithi n nine minutes of t h e di scove ry o f the fire, and i n l ess than half an hour t h e en gin es o f both the Sh e ff ie ld and North of Eng l an d fire-offices were on the sp o t. B y that time, h o wever, the corn stacks were m asses o f fire, and appeare d like so many volcanoes emitting l arge vo l umes of flame, and throwing to a co ns id erable height large masses of burning material. It was evident from the first that there was not the least chance of saving any portion of the corn-stacks, which were accordingly allowed to expend themsel ves . T hroug h ou t the day, there fore, they contin ue d b urning most fi er cely, and when the shades of eve n i ng c l osed i n, t h e lurid glare of the flames was visibl e a t a cons id era ble distance. The to efforts of the fire b r i ga d es were m ainly directed prevent ahe fire ext en di ng i n th e direction of the farm buildings and a num b er o f cottages in the im mediate vicinity. In this they were successful, though their eff o rt s were g i eat ly impeded by the scarcity of water, which h a d t o be brought a distance of 300 ya r d s . Th e h ea t em i tte d by the burning stacks was most intense, and i n an orc hard which adjoined the stockyard the apples were baked as they hung on the trees. Much sympathy is felt for Mr. Hawke, who is greatly respected in the neighbourhood. The cause of the cal am it y i s not yet ascertained, but there is reason to belie ve th a t it h a s originated in other than accidental m eans . Th e d ama ge is estimated at up wards of 1 0001., and Mr. Hawke is insured to the amount of 500/.

In the year 1786 he was bought out of the Marines, and in 1789 he again enlisted in the 77th Regiment of the line, which was stationed at Bombay, in the East Indies, whither he proceeded to join the .same. He was actively engaged through out the Mahratta war, and was at the reduction of Canna nore and Cochin, besides at the capitulation of Nundydroog, and various other strong bill forts. He, forming a part of the division then under General flarris, was at the capitula tion, and afterwards on the 3d of May, 1799, at the storming and taking of Seringapatam, when and upon which occasion he formed one of the compsny which constituted the cover ing party to the forlorn hope, conducted by Lieutenant Law rence ; himself and a private named Watson being the only two who escaped unscathed.

ON E OF THE RESULTS OF BALLOONING.—T O those persons who are doubtful as to the advantages of bal looning, we beg to offer the following extraordinary file. The bull that went up with Madame Poitevin had not been many minutes in the air before it was found to be turned into hang beef—An ch. RAcilallimWeeAtinYg INTELLIGEN CE. of this LONDON, TILBURY , AND SOUTHEND. A spe Was held on Tuesday at th e L ondon Tavern, to consider and ap prove of an agreement entered into with the Thames company Haven Railway and Dock Company; Mr. Anderson in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said the object of the meeting was to take into consideration an agreement entered into with the Thames Haven Company. They were pro bably aware that the Thames Haven was originally projected to form 'a railway from the Eastern Coun ties at Romford 'to Shell Haven on the Thames. He believed that the Thames Haven Company had done very little in constructing their line. They had some land, and had constructed quays at Shell Haven. When the London, Tilbury, and Southend Company were before Parliament, the Thames Haven Compa n y looked upon them with great jealousy and opposed them. The parties wbo conducted the Bill, with a view to save expense, and influenced by a feelin g t o act fairly by the Thames Haven Company, intimated their desire to come to terms with them. The origi nal capital of the Tilbury and Southend line was in tended to be 450,0001., but owing to the whole of the capital not being subscribed, they were obliged to limit it to 400,0001, the rest being for a branch to Shell Haven. They, therefore, proposed to the Thames Haven Company to take that part of their line, and upon that understanding the latter withdrew their opposition, to ; the Bill, and it subsequently received the sanction of Parliament. Mr. MAYNARD, the solicitor, then read the heads of the agreement entered into between the directors of the Blackwell and Eastern Counties Railway Com panies on the one part, and the Thames Haven Com pany on the other part, from which it appeared that the Thames Haven Company had agreed to withdraw their opposition to the Bill, to make a single line from a certain point on the Tilbury line to Shell Haven ; to abandon the remaining portion of the line from Mucking to Romford ; and give up 20 acres of land having a frontage to the river of 12 chains in length; and to apply for an Act of Parliament to sanction the abandonment and to confirm the agreement. In con sideration of withdrawing the Bill and giving up the undertaking, the Tilbury and Southend Company are to pay the Thames Haven Company 48,0001., or 4 per cent. thereon until paid, also giving the Thames Haven Company the option of receiving that amount in shares instead of in money. The eighth clause provides that the Tilbury Company should have the remainder of the farm at Shell Haven at the price of 1001. per acre. If an Act cannot be obtained to sanction the agreement it is to be void. The CHAIRMAN proposed a resolution to the effect that the provisional agreement entered into with the Thames Haven Dock and Railway Company be ap proved and confirmed, and authorising the joint com mittee to carry the same into effect. Mr. J. WILsoN seconded the motion. In reply to a question, it was stated that the Til 1, bury Company had no power to complete the agree ment without the sanction of Parliament. Mr. NORRIS had a great objection to branch lines. Looking at all the railways paying low dividends, it would be found that improvident bargains for branch lines had been the chief cause of their depressed con dition, and be was therefore very jealous of branch lines. Mr. 'WADDINGTON, M.P., said, the observations of Mr. Norris would apply to railways generally, but not to this particular case. So far as this company was concerned there was nothing to affect the 6 per cent. dividend. The Thames Haven Company were offering a strong opposition to the bill at the time the agreement was entered into; and it was done to save considerable expense ; for although they might have passed the Commons, it was not quite so certain that they would have passed the Lords had the oppo sition been continued. The contracting parties were obliged to submit the matter to the share- ' holders of both companies within three months from the passing of the Act for the Tilbury line ; and having obtained the sanction of the shareholders to the agreement, the directors would have to ask them for authority to go to Parliament for power to raise 48,0001. For this sum they would have four miles of railway and 20 acres of land, and the pro prietors having an interest in half the profits, whatever might arise from that branch they would have their share of it without incurring any liability. The con struction of this branch was likely to increase their dividend. After some observations from Mi. Howe, and the assurance of Mr. Waddington that the agreement would not affect the 6 per cent. guarantee, the motion was put and carried unanimously. The meeting then separated. THAMES HAVEN". The adjourned special and half•yearly meetings of this company were held yesterday, at the othce, Gresham-rooms, Basinghall-street; Mr. Lowden in the chair. It was agreed to proceed with the business of the special meeting, for the purpose of considering a provisional agreement entered into with the London, Tilbury, and• Southend Company. The report of the directors stated that the agreement was entered into on the 3d of June, 1852, between Mr. Waddington and Mr. Daniell on the part of the Eastern Counties and Blackwall companies, and Mr. Lowden on the part of the Thames Haven Company. The latter company agreed to make a single line of railway from Mucking to Shell Haven (about four miles in length), and to lay out 10,0001. in wharfs at Shell Haven ; to abandon the other portion of the line from Mucking to Romford, and transfer the line and works, the wharf and works, and 20 acres of land, having a frontage of 12 chains to the river Thames, in consideration of a payment of 48,0001., or interest at 4 per cent. on that sum, after the completion of the works and transfer of the pro perty ; the interest on 12,C001. to commence imme diately, at 4 per cent., and the same rates of interest on any other sun's which may be expended under the agreement ' - the Thames Haven Company to have the option of taking the above amount in shares at 6 per cent. per annum instead of money. The CHAIRMAN stated that the company had 6,413/. at the bankers', and 3,5801. in arrears of calls; making about 10,0001. available. Since June last they had paid nearly all their debts, and there was not above 1,4001. now due. There were 12,126 shares in the company. He would be glad to hear any observa tions on the subject they had met to discuss. Mr. D. W. HARVEY said that the Thames Haven Company was virtually at an end, and be thought the simple course would be for the Tilbury Company to pay them a certain sum and take the undertaking off their hands at once. He estimated that the Thames Haven Company would have to lay out 30,0001. under the agreement, and that the property they bad to dis pose of, including 119 acres of land, was worth 80,0001., and deducting the 30,0001. would leave a clear sum of 50,0001. for them to receive. If his proposition were acceded to they would receive about 41. per share, although he thought the whole of their interest was worth 51. per share, or about 60,0001. He thought it would be as well to appoint a small committee to assist the directors in a negotiation to that effect. _ The CHAIRMAN said that Mr. Harvey's figures were not correct, and he hoped they would not adopt his advice on the present occasion. Mr. J. WlLsoic said they had either to confirm or reject the agreement submitted. He believed it would be the interest of both parties to carry it out. The report was then adopted, and after some dis cussion resolutions were passed to the effect that the provisional agreement entered into with the London, Tilbury, and Southend Company be approved and confirmed, and the directors be authorised to carry the same into effect; and, on the motion of Mr. Har vey, that three shareholders be appointed to confer with the directors on the most eligible mode of car rying out existing agreements, the committee to con sist of Mr. D. W. Harvey, Mr. C. Hills, and Mr. Whetham. _ _ The business of the special meeting having been concluded, that of the adjourned half-yearly meeting was proceeded with. The report was adopted, and the proceedings at the last meeting were confirmed. The accounts showed a balance in hand of 5,7771. The proceedings co nc l u d e d w i t h a vote o f thanks to the chairman. Dispatches were received at the Colonial -office yes terday from the Governor of Gibraltar.

The New York Herald gives the following ac count of the cruise of the United States' steam frigate Mississippi, Commodore Perry, to the fishing. grounds : " The faveurite steam-frigate Mississippi, Captain J. M'Cluney, beerieg the broad pennant of Commodore Ma tthew C. Perry, arrived at this port about ei g ht o'clock on Wednesday morning from an active and im portant cru i se of thirty-two days. Commodore Perry soiled frou New York on Saturday, the 31st of July, having received or d ers , accompanied by private and particular instructions, from the President to in vestigate the tces attending the seizure of some o f our fishing vessels by the British cruisers. The selection of Commodore Perry for this delicate and arduous duty, aided by such officers as are attached to the Mississippi, .va s most judicious and well-timed. The cool discernment of h e Commodore, combined with his well-known and triedcourage, rendered him peculiarly fitted for the task—a fact hi satis factory result obtained, and w alsoch is p roved b y the de monstrations of personal and national by the gratifying him and to our flag by all the Britisb authorities at every respect paid to port at which he touched. Havin New York, the Mississippi ran up t ff E parted from us attport anchored on the 3d of August. This isas , where she 8 on and the entire population turned out to our own soil, o receive her officers and crew. They were dressed as fora gala day, and came with bands playing and colours flyi ng wel come the defenders of the poor fisherman's rights. to s. The aurae joy was manifested during her stay of three days, and at her departure an adieu was spoken by 1,000 tongues, and hundreds of bright eyes beamed their own inspiration into the hearts of our hardy sailors. The frigare arrived at St. John's, New Brunswick, on the 7th of August, and was received by a grand salute from shore, in honour of our Government. Commo dore Perry was visited next day by all the British officers and functionaries, military and civil, sta tioned or resident at the place. A most cordial in vitation to go on chore was extended to the Commo dore and officers of the Mississippi by the Gover nor and heads of departments. Commodore Perry, accompanied by some of the officers of the Mississippi, went on shore next day. The commodore was received, on landing by a full guard of honour selected from the 72d Highlanders—one of the most distinguished regi ments in the British service. The magnificent costume of the soldiers, and the precision of their evolutions, had a fine effect. In the evening he dined with the Governor of New Brunswick and tee officers of the 720. The most harmonious feeling prevailed. Next day the commodore, still accompanied by the officers of the fri gate, visited Frederickson—the seat of Government — where they were received by Colonel Murray, the ad ministrator of the British Government at that place, with a salute of artillery, the music of a full military band, and a guard of honour, formed by another section of the highlanders. They were entertained at dinner, in the evening, by Colonel Murray, who commands the 72d, and met many distinguished British officers. Hila rity and good feeling prevailed, and the most favour able impressions were tooduced on both sides. On the succeeding day Commodore Perry and officers dined with the British Provincial Secretary, and on the fol lowing they were entertained at a grand dejeuner by the Attorney-General of the Province. During this time Commodore Perry had an opportunity for many private interviews and consultations with the highest military, civil, and judicial authorities of the British provin cial Government, of which he fully availed himself, and at which our national honour was maintained, and cur fishery rights not forgotten. The commanding officer, Colonel Murray, with others of the high British authorities, visited the Mississippi next day, in company with Commodore Perry. They were received wi h salute of eight guns, taken over the vessel, and enter tained at lunch. In the evening Commodore Perry, the ffieers of the 'Mississippi, the Governor and high at tach& of the British Government, attended a grand ball given 'then by the eit;zens ot St. John's. The steamer left St. John's upon the 13th of August, and arrived at Flalitex upon the 15th. here she met the British man oowar ship Cumberland, of 80 guns, bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir G. F. Seymour, arid also the British steamer Basilisk. Salutes of national and personal re spect were fired from the Cumberland and Mississippi, and visits of the most friendly character were inter changed between the commanders and officers. The next day Commodore Perry and the officers of the Mississippi ditied at the private residence of Sir G. Seymour on shore by special invitation; a large party of officers and the most oistieguiseed citizens met them at dinner. In the meantime a long private interview took piece between Commodore Perry and Sir G. Seymour regarding the question at issue. Judging from the good feeling of the party in the evening, it trant have been most amicable. Next day the Meese of both nations were entertained at a very splendid dinner given by the Right Rev. Dr. Wahh, Roman Catholic Bishop of Nova Scotia. This dinner was consequent upon the consecra tion of a Catholic bisho p , and a great number of distinguished guests, among the rest the Right of New York, were present. Rev. Archai s hop Hughes, During the next and following days a vast member of officers of the British Government, civil employes, private citizens, ladies, and mechanics visited the Mississippi, and were received with that true American urbanity of manner for which Captain M'Cluney and his officers are so remarkable. They were taken over the ship, and went away highly pleased with all they saw. The 18th of August Commodore Perry and the officers of the Mis sissippi dined, by invitation, with the colonel and officers of the Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers, the two most powerful arms of ttie British land forces. The dis tinguished hosts and their veteran guests were highly delighted with each other, and parted with regret. The Mississippi being always ready, went to sea on the morn ing of the 19th, and trade for the Gulf of St. Lawrence. On the 21st she anchored off the Magdalen Islands, where a great many fi s hing vessels were boarded Com modore Perry, in every instance, was most particular in communicating to each the intentions of Government as to the line of conduct they should pursue. The vessel was afterwards run across the mouth of the Bay Chaleur, and anchored occasionally ; at night off Prince Edward's Island. During her stay there the Commodore caused a large number of vessels to be boarded, conveying ache" and instruction in each instance to our fishermen. The British steam-chip Devastation lay off Prince. Edward's Island, and her captain went on board the Mississippi, and Find his respects personally to Commodore Perry. In the evening they had a long private interview t e e er a ing the fisberies. The Mississippi stood north oock north August 26, and soon rounded Cape Bret on , and still steaming homeward, snivel in the river yesterday morning." Numerous political meetings, Demo • cratic, Whig, and Webster, had been held in various parts of the Union. The Democrats assembled in in great force at New York on the 2d, when General Cass, who was well received, delivered a lengthy Ho contatulated them o f the mocratic party, and on itson the triumph e and, with the right attained condition and protsipmota oet reached the years of th by his having res hope that during the res: score and ten, he o exP en : ocrat political cam would resort to campaign of abuse personalities or any 4 ,01" against the Whigs,elver; who were brethren with thetas of the must sink same great family, and with whom theyk— or swim together.

There was no spectacle to be compared to it in Europe. This submission to the will of the majority was the very corner-stone ot their free institutions,—it was the very anchor which kept ' the ship of state at her moorings. He rejected the standard, once raised by the Whigs, of elevating their candidate into the Presidency on the tail of a racoon. General Jackacu was not carried there in a great huge toy called a soup-bowl.—(Latighter.) The soup -bowl was not to be raised as a sort of cabalistic watchword or shibboleth, so that every man who pronounced the word would be received into the faith. The tendency of the Whig party was to strengthen the power of the general Geverionent, while that of the D, mecrats was to decrease and abase it. After a powerful eulogy of General Jackson, the speaker was so overpow ere d w•ith the heat that he threw his waistcoat after his coat. He afterwards announced himself opposed to all the isms' of the day, including Communism and Secialism and Mormonism; to polygamy, concebiri atton, and all the other humbugs. He charged the Whigs w ith en deavouring to gain political power by mint improve ments, and profit by immense contracts. After alluding to the conquests which ettended the arms of the Repub lic, he expressed a hope that the time would soon come alma neither a drum should roll nor a hostile cannon be fired throughout the world, it the United States should nay—'Your cause is not a just one.' He concluded by alluding to the prospects of the Democratic party, and BERKSHIRE.

It appears to have b een almost entirely con fi ne d to w i t hi n 100 sw miles fro m th e seashore, and to have ma d e a general y obil i e n to New places York, lothers. Its d es t ructiveness to property o f every de scription was p ro b a b ly greater than h a d ever before been exp er i enced from a similar v i s i tat i on. To keep alive th e exc i tement existing re l at i ve to Cuban affairs, a grand an d solemn high mass for the re pose of the souls of Lop ez an d hi s fellow-martyrs, who some justly suffered for their piratical attack upon Cube, was announced to take place on the Ist in St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York. A large number of persons, attired in deep mourning, attended upon the day ap pointed, and were much chagrined at the announce ment that the performance of high mass would be dispensed with, on account of the sensation it might create among the Roman Catholic body, and parti cularly in the Spanish dominions. The Archbishop had also declined on the same account to permit the erection in the cathedral of a cenotaph inscribed with the names of the " martyrs." After the conclusion of the religious ceremonies, the Cuban sympathisers adjourned to a house in Broadway, when several in flammatory addresses were delivered. Our miscellaneous advices mention the death of Miss Laura Addison, the English actress, who ex pired while being conveyed to New York in a steam boat. She had been labouring under severe Meese for some days previously, and her sister, suspecting foul play, had applied for a coroner's inquest. 710 judge from the published accounts there does not ap pear any cause fur suspicion. From Havannah we have advices to the 29th ult. Accordin g t o the newspaper reports the greatest terronand excitement prevailed in the island. The Government had succeeded in seizing the press on which the Voice of the People was published, and also a number of persons connected with it. Some of the printing materials were found buried outside the walls of the city. At Vuelta Abago, south end of the island, 200 persons had been arrested, and imprisoned at Havannah upon a charge of treason. It was ex pected that nine persons connected with the revolu tionary publication seized by the Government would be executed on the Ist inst. A correspondent of the New York Herald, writing on the 28th, and speaking of the feeling which exists in regard to the Govern ment, says— . Th e Spaniards themselves do not disguise that great disaffection exists against the Government. I was told this morning, by one of the most respectable and wealthy merchants from Old Spain , that he lam ented he should have to acknowledge it, but such was the case, that the Creoles, men, women, and children, from Cape Maysi to Cape San Antonio, hated Spain and the Spaniards with a hatred so bitter, that no concession now on the part of Spain would ever overcome it." Emanating from such a source, these observations must be received with some degree of doubt. A correspondent of the New York Courier and Enquirer writes : " The Government of the island is now in the hands of Senor Galeano and Senor Velasco, president of the court-martial, and in their hands General Canedo is no thing but an automaton, and issues, whenever they toll him, the most brut a l or d ers that any ' man can conceive. " The actual state of this country is horrible, and if the humane Government of the United States does not take some means to subjugate the se brutes, the Carlist war and the observance of the Eliot treaty daring d • the civil war in Spain will be a trifle compared to the scenes which will be enacted here.

V A Y. C " The age of Chivalry is gone, and that of Economists and Calculators has succeeded." The glory of the age of chivalry con sisted in the attire of the knight being suitable for his sporting or military avocatims ; the age of chivalr y - is therefore restored by the designs in costume, introduced and perfected by E. MOSES and SON. Stylish fit, comfort in wear, novelty in materials, and splen dour in finish are some of the features of E. MOSES and SON'S Sporting Dress. As Economists, they have reduced the price to the most reasonable scale, and as Calculators, have attained the most desirable elevation from which they supply magnificent Dress to Ladies, Gentlemen, or Mechanics. Coats, light and waterproof, gems of modern art, useful but not cumbersome, agreeable wear in shower or suns Ine, these Coats are enclosed in a neat case, or may be put into the pocket of an ordinary Dress Coat ; these are introductory to hundreds of new styles to be presented by E. MOSES and SON for Autumn WHO SHOULD EMIGRATE, AND WHO SHOULD OUTFIT? The capitalist, the industrious, the agriculturalist, the mechanic, in fact every man who deserves to participate in wealth and possess property, but labour must preceed enjoyment, the journey must go before the possession, and such articles as are needed for both are called an Outfit. E. MOSES and SON name a few of their qualifi cations, and let the Emigrant judge "who should Outfit." They have an immense wholesale department, where capitalists may make the most eligible investments, and where Goods suitable for Australia, or any other country may be procured at such prices as will afford the amplest prolt on every purchase. From this de. partment families emigrating will derive the highest advantages. They keep a stock of Hosiery, Boots, and shoes, &c., for the " Diggings," and Dress of every description expressly prepared with the most accurate acquaintance with any voyage or climate, on this the Emigrant may implicitly depend. Many years experience In Outfitting on the largest scale has put them in possession of an exclusive power in procuring, manufac facturing, and arranging Outfits, to which they appropriate a sepa rate department in their gigantic establishment, where every Emi grant at once sees the purposes they are intending to serve. " Whe then can Outfit" like E. MOSES and SON. Full Lists of Outfits, and all information relative to sailing of vessels and cost of passage may be had on application, or post free to any part of the kingdom. SPECIAL NOTICE, the Establishments will be closed on TUES DAY and WEDNESDAY next, September 14 and 15, resuming business on THURSDAY morning. September 16, at Seven o'clock. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned tha,t the untradesmanlike falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons. They beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired aro here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient g uarantee that those who may place themselves under hi s c are will, in every instance, meet w i t h that delica te consideration a n d inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cases.
