Look at their house! how proud the view What beauty it discloses I What crowds of customers go there, Their favours to renew! The place is really like a fair : Oh dear I what shall I do! • I wonder not at such support ; For MOSES and his SON Make all their clothing as they ought, And min* are quite outdone. My articles, compar'd with these, Are nothing much to view; And vain my efforts are to please : Oh dear I what shall I do ? MOSES and SON are far too strong For feeble things like me ; They've been the victors all along, And so they'll ever be.

Many a time and often have we mentally ex claimed, Oh for one hour of the high and palmy days of Charles Lamb, of Hazlitt, of Coleridge, of poor John Scott, of the " Opium Eater," of all the better brothers," who, twenty years ago, illustrated and graced our periodieal life rature. But these are the times for conversions, and in pe rusing Bentley for the present month, we must candidly con fess that " a change came o'er the spirit of our dream." The papers are uniformly excellent. " The Travelled Man," by Mrs. Gore, is in her own sparkling and racy style. Albert Smith's sketch of Mr. Tonks, and his great Christmas Failure," is a favourable spscimen of the powers of the justly popular writer ; while " Tipperary Hall," by the " Whiskey Drinker," is net surpassed by the best of the far-famed Nodes Ambrosiance. We wish that we could command space for the insertion of acme of the capital verses and songs abounding in " Tipperary Hall." There is one, " The Vu tips of Creation,' of which we will affirm that Canning, in his days, never did anything better. It is well worthy of the author of the " Loves of the Triangles;" and we would strongly recommend our readers to beg, borrow, steal, or even buy Bentley, for the sake of perusing it.—Cambridge Independent Press. THE ROYAL LACK.—This beautiful fabric, manufac tured by a Nottingham firm, is most beautifully fine, and the patterns in the best taste; the whole is the closest counter part of the finest Mechlin lace, and may be considered the greatest triumph ever obtained by British enterprise and perseverance. The application of the strongest lens shows no difference between the production of Nottingham and that of Malines ; this, and the patronage of her Majesty (who was ' the first purchaser) has occasioned it to be called the Royal Mechlin Lace. It has taken more than four years to con struct the machines which produce this most delicate fabric. —Arettinghom Review. BUCKINGHAM AGRICULTURAL PROTECTION SOCIETY. SATURDAY EVENlNG.—Pttriltlait to public announcement, a dinner of the Buckingham Agricultural Protection Society took place on Saturday, at the Town-hall. Every nook was filled, and upwards of 500 persona sat down to dinner. His Grace the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, K.G., presided, and was supported on his right and left by the Earl of Orkney, the Marquis ofChandos, Hon. W. Fitzmau rice, M.P., Dr. Marsham, Ike. • After tke usual toasts of loyalty and courteen Mr. P. Box proposed, "The Peers and the Members of the House of Commons who are favourable to protection to native industry." He (Mr. Box), when be looked around that room, saw persons who possessed capital and estates to the amount of two millions, and had Sir R. Peel a right to say that they should have no voice in the country ?—(Hear and cheers.) Had he, or any other man, a right to dictate when they said appeal to the country, and let us judge for our selves ?—(Hear, hear.) They considered that they were an ill-used people,—(Cheers.) The assertion of Sir R. Peel, as to the probability of famine, was not right. He would allow that there was an immense decrease in the production of potatoes, and that the sister island was in a state of consider able distress. It was then the duty of the Government to look to it, an d i f they had done so, the matter would not have appeared before the country in the shape in which it had.(Hear, hear.) With reference to the subject of this toast, he thought they should have an immense amount of ability in the House of Peers, for it appe ared that, when any Member of the House of C ommons became obnoxious to Sir R. Peel, he placed him in the Upper House; and to that House they must now look to prevent everything from being sacrificed.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Box concluded by proposing the toast, which was drunk with mush applause. The Earl of .ORKAIST returned thanks. He could only say for himself that his political conduct would be in accordance with their wishes. It was a matter of great gratification to him that they bad received him, and of his brother's (the Hon. W. Fitsrnaurice, M.P.), to represent them, and he was sure that he would be ever ready to advocate their interests, and the general interests of the country. He begged to as sure them that he would, with his utmost ability, support theiLinterests, and he hoped they would yet prevail. Mr. E. HOlrriooE , proposed, " The Members: - fir the County." Mr. Du PRE, M.P.,'in returning thanks, said be thought it was of the utmost importance that a mutual understand ing should exist between the representative and those who sent him to Parliament. When he saw the spirit which had been aroused there, and the different meetings of farmers and agricultural bodies,' throughout the kingdom; aboie all, when he recollected that they had to fall back on the House of Lords, combining, as it did;- all the - talent of the country, and led by a Richmond, a Buckingham, land a Cleveland— when he recollected all this, he couldmot, he would not, de spair.—(Loud cheers.) He was afraid that, is the House of Commons, there would be a far greater majority than even their worst fears would lead them to suppose; but he did think-there was great reason to hope that the House of Peers would turn this apparent defeat into a victory.—(Cheers.) -It was net the first occasion on which he had opposed the GoVernment, and he could assurelhis. constituents that he should be found in his place the following Monday, acting in concert with a trusty and united band, who would be, still faithful to their colours and'adhere firmly to their prin ciples, resolved to throw every obstruction in the way of the prdposed measure of which the forms of the constitution would admit.—(Loud cheers.) Captain W. FITZMAURICR, also acknowledged the toast. He should use his best exertions to promote their views in the approaching debate. He believed a measure had never been proposed which was fraught with so much danger to every class. It favoured the manufacturer to the detriment of the agriculturist, and he - should- give it his most cordial opposition. He sat down amidst loud cheering. Mr. H. HUMPHREYS next proposed, " Colonel Hall, the Member for the borough of Buckingham," which was drunk with the usual honours, and briefly responded to by the Hon. and Gallant Colonel. The Rev. W. T. Erxn then gave, " The Marquis of Chandos, the candidate for the borough of Buckingham." (Drunk with three times three cheers.) The Marquis of CNANDos briefly returned thanks. The Earl cf ORKNEY, in giving the health of the Noble Chairman (his Grace the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos), congratulated the agriculturists on having, in the person of the Duke, a nobleman who would stand by them to the last. The toast was drunk with nine times nine rounds of deafening applause. After the tumult had subsided, The Duke of BUCKUWHAM said—l can safely assure you that I find the utmost difficulty in returning my heartfelt and grateful thanks to you for this gratifying mark of your approval and friendship towards me. We have met, gentle men, to record our opinions and feelings on a great measure recently introduced by the GOvernment, and which has called forth the opinions and feelings of all classes throughout the country ; and were I to j udge from the appearance of this great assembly, I should safely assert that those measures of the Government find no favour in this part of her Majesty's do minions. I, for my awn part, gentlemen, have nothing to recal.—(Cheers.) In 1841 the Government appealed to this country to ascertain its sentiments upon the alteration they proposed in the corn-laws. They proposed in her Ma jesty's Speech that an alteration should take place to the extent . of an Bs. fixed duty, which they recommended as best for agriculture and the country , at large. Upon the hustings of this country, where that question was argued, a Parliament was avowedly returned by the constituencies throughout the land against that proposal on the part of the Government, and in favour of protection to agriculture.— ( Hear, hear.) That Government bade adieu to Downing street in consequence of an early vote brought forward by the then Opposition, afterwards her Majesty's Government. It pains me to have find fault with a Government which came in on principles diametrically opposed to their present prac tice—which flew the colour of protection before every consti tuency, and which has forgotten the principles os which they were formed, and acted and became a free-trade Go vernment, pandering to the lowest vices of the lowest order of the country.—(Cheers.) The country in which we live has for years maintained its ascendancy amongst every na tion of the globe, by its interminable resources and the indo mitable spirit of its people, but you will now, by this measure, attempt to crush those feelings, and lay this noble country — the pride of every Englishman—prostrate at the feet of fo reigners.—(Great applause.) You are to do away with your native industry, and to do away with your native agriculture, and you are now , to declare yourselves free to receive from all parts of the world corn and other produce. By that very act you will be thowing out of cultivation much of your sail, and you will then become dependent on those states. I look at it with the deepest alarm and dismay ; but if we are beaten, as we may be, still we shall not be conquered.—(Cheers.) I will not trait myself alone in giving these opinions, and 1 am gratified to be able to fall back on Hansard, which gives you the ParliaMentary debates; and I will go back to 1839, and quote one paragraph of a speech which Sir James Gra ham uttered in the House of Commons.—[The Noble Duke then read a paragraph uttered by the prevent Home Secretary in:corroboration of his remark, as well as from an address de livered by Sir R. Peel in March ' 1839.] I refer, said his Grace, to those speeches in order to show you that up to that time the very gentlemen who now compose the Admir nistration were your sincerest friends.—(Hear, hear.) And what is the cause of the change? It appears that in Novem ber—and if it had been very Cold weather one would not have been surprised at peop le . meeting together to keep themselves warm over a fire Downing -street--(a laugh) —but in NoVember a quarrel takes place, and Sir R. Peelfinds himselfin a minority on the subject of the alteration of the corn-laws. IThe Noble Chairman here recapitulated the various Ministerial changes which have been repeated latterly, usquc ad nauseam.] In the event of a war, continued his Grace, the greatest distress must prevail.—(Hear, hear.) I hope, however, that we may still alter this measure, or so cripple or defeat it, that it will not become the law of the land.—(Cheers.) But I implore the agricultural interest in every county to see that their Members do their duty and light the battle of their farmer. I give my opposition to the measure from no selfish motives, from no feeling of dislike to one class or the other ; I want to see my country prosper ; I want to see all classes happy and contented ; but if you de stroy the agricultural interest I fear you will bring into the heart's blood of this country the greatest disease and misery that ever fell upon a nation.—(Loud cheers.) You may rely upon it that I shall be at my post with the Duke of Richmond, who is at the head of the Central Society— (Cheers)—to' defeat if possible this measure—to do it all the harm we can ; for if we cannot defeat it we will endeavour to cripple it, and you shall never have to charge with incon sistency the man who now sits down thanking you from the bottom of his heart. (The Noble Duke resumed his seat amidst loud and long-continued applause.) The Rev. F. Larcamaen, in proposing the next toast— " His Grace the Duke of Richmond, President of the Central Society "—said he looked upon Sir Robert's Peel measure as a gigantic scheme of plunder, intended t o transfer man's property to another in the most rec kless and w ick ed on manner. He would tell Sir Robert Peel that there were three characters in ancient history which he might study, with profit to himself, and, perhaps, advantage to his country—namely, Catiline, Cicero, and Brutus. He might learn that if Catiline, when he was prepared to betray his country, had kept his own secret, he might have succeeded in his wicked object, but he would have been handed down to posterity as a successful knave.—(Cheers.) From Cicero he might learn that he was honoured for his eloquence, but died despised as a coward—(Renewed cheers)—and from Brutus he might be taught that if Caesar was the monopolizer of the Crown, his sworn friend was not the man who should have slain him.—(Great applause.) The toast was thea drunk with the accustomed honours. The Marquis of CRANDOS next proposed._" Prosperity t o the Central Society and other local societies for the protection of agriculture and native industry." Other toasts followed, and the conviv iality of the evening was prolonged to a late hour. --- TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Through an allusion of the Mites newspaper to the failure of a Jewish firm, some persons .have reported it to be that of Moses and Son, of the, Minories, and which is calcu lated to do them some considerable injury. Being connected with them, I can confidently assert ito such, thing has or is likely to take place, and should feel obliged by your insert ing some remark to that effect in your paper.—l am Sir, your obedient servant, CHARLES DYTE. THIS HISTORY OF MARGARET CATCHPOLE, A SUFFOLK GIRL —I third and cheaper edition of this remarkable work, by the Rev. R. Cobbold, of Worthen], Suffolk, has just been published by Mr. Ciolburn, complete in a single volume, with all the illustrations, price 10s. 6d. bound. The great success which this work has met with must be attributed, we con ceive, as much to the sound and impressive moral which it conveys, as to the great interest of the narrative. In the present cheap and elegant edition it will doubtless meet with a greatly extended sale. Compressed into one volume (as the Britannia observes) this biography will probably become a standard work, for altogether Margaret Catchpole was sufficiently remarkable in character and fortune to take her place among the celebrated personages of times past.

Mr. Best) had betinskot 15tig r itai'ik r.,T 5 ..-' person, also employed on the works. From l thi boit in '..1V,c 5 :=1411 tion we could obtain, it appeared that the assailant,.)Kc'T.V.t:-- - Shurmur, who was formerly in business in Ais -- • . • - „, s ,,' architect, had been engaged by Mr. BaverkfoCk, 'Of bisql! t borough, contractor , for extensive improvement's and ad&r% tions to the present mansion at Redrice. Shurmnr's dal" was to direct the workmen and pay their wages. The indi vidual so seriously injured lodged at the house of his as sailant, in Andover, and a dispute arose as to a sum of money missing, and which Mr. Murmur accused his lodger of taking, but who denied having done so. On Saturday - morning Shurmur called upon a gunsmith in this town, and selected a large horse-pistol. This he loaded with powder in the presence of the gunmaker, and then asked for a bullet, ' which, having obtained, he placed it in the pistol, and ex claimed, " I intend with this to well frighten a fellow." He then proceeded by the Magnet coach, which goes near the works, to Redriee, and calling Briefly . into the counting house, locked the door, placing the key in his pocket.. Soon after, the report of a pistol was heard, and a cry of murder. The other workmen hastened to the spot, and, with a crow bar, wrenched open the door, when the unfortunate man fell into their arms, having received the ball in the cheek, just below the eye. The ball passed under the un fortunate man's ear and came out at the back of' his head. Surgical assistance was immediately obtained, and we are glad to learn he is at present going on favour ably, and unless lock-jaw or mertific,ation should take place, it is the opinion of the medical attendant he may recover. Shurmur w as immediately secured, and, t he magistrates being then sitting, was taken before them, and remanded ' until Monday next, the 9th inst., at ten o'clock. PREPARATION 's FOR WAR.—Whatever may be the result of the present aspect of affairs, the standing army is about to be placed in a most efficient state by the addition of 10,000 men, and the militia will be brought into readiness for immediate training on the shortest notice. The Ordnance Corps is to be increased betwixt 1,400 and 1,500 men, one half of that number to 'form a batt alion of the Royal Regi ment of Artillery, consisting of eight companies a Royal Sappers and Miners, commanded by officers of the Royal Engineers. There are at present seven troops of Royal Horse Artillery, three troops C H, and Rocket troop, at Woolwich; one troop E, at Newcastle; one troop F, at Leeds • one troop D, at Dublin ; and one troop Aat Limerick. Each Of six of the troops has four guns, which are to be increased to six, with the usual number of gunners in proportion. The Royal Marines are to be increases to the extent of 2,500 men, and the. land forces of the line regiments 6,000 men, but LL whether the latter will' be added in battalions or _additional -regimentitikr t axstinK XnmvP ! Tile in in the navy will be abou very efficiein state, and steam-vessels of veily great power- to e can be manned by a far lees number of hands thZ ll shins otlyf war. This is a very great advantage, and a great eaCing of life during engagements, as the 'destruction on boars of crowded .vessels is far greater in proportion to the number on:ros board, as was recently shown - by the groat loss of life on -. board -the French vessels at the engagement with Roses in the river Plate, the ratapber on board being generally about one-third more in French vessels than in English of the same class. A very important addition is about to be made in all large war steamers of the British navy by the addition of two or more light six-pounder guns, mounted in every re spect in the same manner as the light six-pounder guns of the Royal Horse Artillery. These guns are to be fitted with men harness, to be taken on shore when required, and moved from one place to another, with or without the aid of horses. FRIGHTFUL OCCURRENCE.-011 Sunday morning, at 'about ten minutes to three o'clock, police constable Sullivan, 1721 H, whilst on duty in John-street, St. George's-in-the - East, saw' an object issue from the house No. 13, and ran up the street bla2ing 'away' like - a tar-barrel. He gave in stant-pursuit, at the same time springing his rattle, and on coming up he perceived it was a woman enveloped in flames. Her shrieks were heart-rending. Sullivan at once proceeded to tear away her flaming garments, in which humane task he was soon assisted by 120 K, and in a short time they succeeded in quite denuding her, but not until she had suf fered most frightful in Information was instantly con veyed to the Denmaik-street station-house, when Inspector Donegan immediately bad her conveyed on the police stretcher to the London 'Hospital, where she lies in a most precarious state. The unhappy sufferer is a young woman named Mary Anne O'Connor, and it is supposed her clothes ignited whilst she slept before the fire, and she was in a complete blaze on reaching the street. REVOLTING OCCURRENCE.—The neighbourhood of Farringdon-street and its vicinity has been for the last two days thrown into a state of considerable excitement from a rumour which gained credence in every quarter, that a young woman of the name of Taylor had sold her illegitimate child, a little boy of the tender age of three years, under circumstances as singular and .romantic as they evince a total want of feeling.. It appears that in the course of Thursday last a lady, bearing all the outward indications of the highest respectability, drove into Farringdon-street in her carriage, which was pulled up at the end of Harp-alley. There she made some inquiries with respect to a child, of which she expressed a desire to become possessed. The lady introduced herself to a female relative of the young woman Taylor; and on finding that Taylor had a male child of the age stated, she desired to see it, and for that purpose returned te, and waited in her carriage while the female first addressed proceeded to the mother of Taylor, who with her husband, is in charge of an unoccupied house, No. 90, Farringdon-street. The mother instantly set out to fetch her daughter and the child from their domicile in Chandes street, at the West-end, and on their return together the child, a smart, intelligent, and prepossessing little fellow, was exhibited to the lady, who at ones made overtures for his purchase. The unnatural mother of the child, and her equally unnatural parent, consented to the sale, and received the earnest of half a sovereign. The carriage drove off with the lady and her newly-acquired purchase, but returned in a brief space of time, and showed the unconscious boy denuded of the dirty rags with which his limbs had been encased, but now superbly clad in new clothes, and hat and feathers of the most tasteful and expensive kind. They again drove off, the lady promising to renew her visit on Monday next, and then to pay any sum, from 2/. to 51., they might require. The grandfather of the child was only made acquainted with the occurrence late on Friday night, and the poor old man, who exhibits more of humanity than either his wife or his daughter, is loud in his denunciations of their conduct, and in his determination to trace the matter to the bottom. At present the name of the lady or her abode is matter of the most perfect mystery.--Sunday Times. SOUTH DERBYSHIRE AGRICULTURAL PROTECTION SOCIETY.—DERBY, Sartien.ay.—YesterdaY afternoon a spe cial general meeting of the members of the South Derby shire Agricultural Protection Society was held at the King's Head Inn, Derby, to consider what steps should be taken in reference to the measures proposed by Sir Robert Peel. Not more than sixty assembled on the occasion, including Mr. E. M. Mundy, M.P., Mr. E. S. Chandos Pole, the Hon. and Rev. Alfred Curzon, Mr. Harrison, Mr. W. Eaton Mousley (Mayor of Derby), Rev. Reginald Pole, Mr. J. G. Johnson, Mr. Roper, Mr. Child, &c. The president, Mr. E. C. S. Pole, was called to the chair. Mr. MUndy, M.P., in the course of the proceedings, assured the meeting he had given the question of protection his most serious considera tion, and he had made up his 'mind to oppose Sir R Peers measures.—(Applause.) He hoped, as he had hitherto been consistent, his constituents would deem him worthy of their future confidence. It was agreed that petitions against Sir R. Peel's measures should be adopted, and entrusted to Mr. Mundy and Mr. Colville for presentations to Parliament, and the meeting then separated. EXTENSIVE FIRIU.—GREAT DESTRUCTION 07 PRO.. PERTY.—Yesterday morning, between six and seven o'clock, a fire, attended with a considerable destruction of valuable property, broke out upon the premises in the occupation of Mr. J. Slaney, a cabinet manufacturer, in Skinner-street, Bishopsgate., The discovery was made by Sergeant Teague, of the City force. Without loss of time an alarm was spread in the usual Way, and other constables coming up, they en deavoured to remove some of the property contained in the manufactory. In that endeavour they were, however, unsuc cessful, for in less than ten minutes after the first discovery the flames were rushing through the roof and windows, threat ening destruction to the premises belonging to Messrs. Flo rence, known as the Bishopsgate Distillery, and also to the adjoining property of Mr. Bateman, timber merchant. Nume rous engines belonging to the London brigade came in rapid succession, and a plentiful supply of water was: glischargsd into the burning premises; but it was nearly, ten o'clock before the conflagration was entirely extinguished. By that time the whole of Mr. Slaney's stock in the factory was consumed, and the building nearly gutted. insured for of ,the tire is unknown.

Thedam a g e d one , however, was very cons iderable, but Mr. Ellems is fortunately insured. On Saturday afternoon, between the hours of four and five, a fire broke out on the premises belonging to Mr. Wm. Cooper, dust contractor, in St. Anne-street, Westminster, a very nar row and densely-populated neighbourhood. The flames ori ginated in the straw loft, a long building, extending about fifty feet over the wheelwright's shop and breeze sheds. A number of the workpeople removed a large quantity of straw from the lofts to a place of safety, and, owing to the com bined exertions of all parties, and the timely arrival of the fire-engines, the fire was safely extinguished shortly after six o'clock. A young man, named Win. Williams, is in custody at the Worship -street Police-court, charged, upon his awn con fession, 'with stealing eighty sovereigns. It appeared that prior to the commencement of business the other morning he addressed, by letter, the office-keeper, and said that he wished to give himself up, for he had stolen $Ol., and his conscience -would.not let him rest. He proceeded to state that he was a hair dresser, and had been in the service of a Mr. Belli - at - Eccles, near Manchester, but one day in the month .of October, a person whom he believed to be a cattle-dealer, entered the shop to purchase some tobacco, and went away, leaving his purse upon the counter. The prisoner said he could not resist the temptation, but took the purse unperceived, and found in it 801. in gold, and he immediately went off with the money, which he had since dissipated. He was not aware, -he said, whether say inquiry had been made about the low. Upon this statement ofhis, information was forwarded to the place he mentioned, and an answer has been received, from which it appeared that his statement was correct, and the owner of the money was an Irish cattle •dealer. The prie soner was remanded for the production of the evidence.
