SILVER and CO., CLOTHIERS, S e NAVAL, MILITARY, and General OUTFITTERS and CONTRACTORS, respectfully acquaint the Public, that they Thaw completed the alterations at their Warehouses, 66 and 67, CORNHILL, which enables them to concentrate and exhibit all the requirements of an OUTFIT. Being the Manufacturers (w.th experienced managers) of the chief and most expensive portions of OUTFITS, they are enabled to produce and render them at 'WHOLESALE PRICES; thus preventing MILITARY and NAVAL OFFICERS, CADETS, and PASSENGERS generally sacrificing the usual intermediate profit. L kDIES' OUTFITS (which are ander the Management of Females) on similar terms. SILVER and CO. having a correspondent in nearly every ENGLISH COLONY, their customers may at all times avail them selves of their assistance. SILVER and CO. pack and ship their cus tomers' outfits, clear and warehouse their baggage homewards, pro cure and give SHIP-SAILING information outwards or homewards, Without receiving a commission for such business. Moreover, they do not allow the too usual commission to persons who introduce customers to them, that purchasers may derive every advantage. ?"or example, individuals who are about to leave for India are gene rally inundated with applications and lists from Outfitters, who ob tain the name and address of the party going abroad from persons to whom they pay (if they supply the Outfit) so large a com mission for the information, as to materntlly increase the amount of the Outfit. Now, SILVER and CO. never tbrward a list of neces saries to any one, unless directed tq do eo by the party (or friend) going abroad. Thus SILVER and Qo.'s prices are not burthened with commission, because all recommendations to apply to them are pure and disinterested. The OUTFITTING WHOLESALE and RETAIL CLOTHING DEPARTMENTS, &c., are at 66 and 67, CORNHILL, and at LIVERPOOL. The SHIRT DEPARTMENT for home use is at No. 10, CORNIIILL.

"Look on this picture, and on this."—Shakspeare. -Xs now another year is passed away, MOSES and SON their wonted tribute pay; And freely own, with gratitude sincere, The many favours of another year. Oft have their warm acknowledgments bees made, Iron vast success, and glorious public aid ; But never did such staunch support appear, As that which honoured the departed year. Spring, summer, autumn, winter, bear fresh proof, )f crowding throngs beneath their trading roof. When January's frosts were keenly felt, l'housande with MOST liberally dealt ; And Winter Overcoats, to suit the cold, 'Were purchased at their Warehouse million-fold. In February's month. and blust'rine March, The public sought the Emporium's lofty arch. In fickle April, and in milder May, MUSES and SON'S Spring dresses bore the sway. In pleasant June, and changeable July, Vast multitudes were daily seen is buy ; And such supporters failed not to remember The City Mart in August and September. And in October's month did thousands press, At MOSES' Mart for matchless Autumn dress. In dull November, and Deeember, too, MOSES and SON were ever kept in view. And thus did new encouragements appear Throughout the circle of the by-past year : Not only in attire, but boots and shoes, And else in the furs which ladies use ; And throngs of buyers might we daily see, Obtaininlng first-class Hats at Eighty-three. In Hosiery and matchless outfits too, The trade at MOSES' Warehouse daily grew. The glorious marks of favo re ur thus presented, 'Proclaim the by-gone year unprecedented. 'Twas truly pleasing to behold a throng, Crowding the spacious Warehouse all day long ; While all the current coins, with constant jingle. Amid the busy stir were heard to mingle. Nor was it any sight to cause a frown, ryphils orders for bespoke were putting down. Swift went the knlbs, and orders swiftly took, And very swiftly filled each order-book. The Cutting-room at MOSES' mart has been, •• A cutting sight" —an ever-busy scene. No time for idleness—no lengthy leisure,' Could here be had for cutter, shears, or measure : All was activity in every part, And bushiest; "ruled the roast" at MOSES' Mart. Though scarcity of money roused alarm. MOSES and filON sustained no trading harm. No ; on the contrary, as people found, The real value of a current pound, They flocked to MOSES' Mart, assured that there, Unmatched economy is brought to bear. What now remains ? A task devolves on MOSES, Now Eighteen Forty-seven for ever closes. Most heartily do Messrs. MOSES tender Their thanks for what a generous public render. But thanks ten thousand times they might repeat, And leave the task of thanking incomplete. Yet, happily, they've more that they can state, And thus they're led to Eighteen Forty-eight. In Eighteen Forty-eight they mean to steer Beyond the bounds of each succeeding year. The resent purchases which they have made, Will add new benefits to all their trade. When all the markets were depressed, they bought For moderate sums their cloths superbly wrought. They saw the opportunity, and now, A most Immense redaction they allow. Such are the benefits which here await The purchaser of Eighteen Forty-eight. May MOSES and the public ever be, On pleasing terms of trading unity ; May both the buyers and the sellers find, That all their mutual interests are combined ; And may the friends of M SE A SO (small and great) Enjoy, in every possible estat A happy year in Eighteen Forty-eight.

The present season is hallowed by one of the most delightful offices of friendship and affection ; the interchange of gifts, as re membrances of the donors, and tokens of their esteem for the re ceivers.

Reader, remember, this letter was put sate the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this eppor- Malty of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair an her head, after using itabout four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than lever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase en lls. bottle if they were as certain ef its virtues as she Is, from ex perience, net only in the restoration and produotion of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet parttime iti far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any ady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w drops en the crown of the bead occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and Invent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops ox yottr hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the !lair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies - may use this delightful product et the most aromatic herbs Ai flowers with confidence; its refreshing >dour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion o the toilet.

The object of this Association is totally to abolish the use of climbing boys, who, netwithstrinding the penalties to which those employing them are subjected by the ad and 4th Victoria, cap. 85, are continually resorted to. This breech of the law is acquiesced is by a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the utter inn possibility in innumerable cases of cleansing a chimney or flue with the old machine. For the laudable purpose of fUrthering the objects of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the inge nious and effective Ramoneur machine has been invented. This Invention consists of four brushes forming a square head, which by means of elastic springs contracts or expands, according to the small or extended space in which the machine moves, thereby creating an even pressure on all four sides of a chimney. The rods attached to this head or brush are supplied at intervals with universal spring joints, capable of turning even a right angle and the whole is surmounted with a double revolving ball, having also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its route most perfectly. The capabilities of this machine are best demonstrated by the fact, that it is exclusively used in the Government and numerous public offices, while the patronage bestowed by a large nninber of the nobility and gentry in continuing their annual con tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its seiperierity, as well as of the philanthropic views of the projectors. Detailed prospectuses may be obtained, and a working model of the machine seen, at the offices of the solicitor, F. Dolman, Esq., 39, Jermyn-street, Ct. James's at Messrs.

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order that It may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the ell, which covers the origin of domestic. wretchedness, be raised, and its tree source la every instance disclosed, in how many could It be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, who. abused, the prolific source of mischief, and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, oa ..he nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater Severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. of the Reproductive Organs, and ef This work contains an accarate and complete accettat of the their relative c i e li nd Y i s t i lO i n ° s gY in health wed disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can he of mere importance than the preservation of th e h ea l t h , and of the phys ical capabilities of which every man should be p oi svemed. It safortneately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering ftom their invariable consequences, unveiscly entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Slimue and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict hint and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can he procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining tile causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical p h y sician, and to the medical man who can show by his posse sion of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended.

Numberless and well-authenicated cases which hitherto had been considered as incurable by the Facility, and which in a short time have given way under this treatment, are most unequivocal proofs of its superiority over every other means as yet employed. t was for a long period of time a desideratum to discover a mode of cure adapted to all constitutions, and which should be free from the bane fill effects of mercury.

RAISING WATER discovered by the FOUN TAIN PUMPS, which roll the water upwards, without either friction or faltering, therefore can never be surpassed ; conse quently this is the most important discovery ever made for the pre servation of life and property either at Sea or on Land. AT SEA numerous ships it has already saved, and the captains gratefully ac knowledge the glorious results. Two testimonial extracts shall : " Captain Greig, from Quebec to London, states that the Fountain Pump being fitted in the Caroline, its great power was the means of saving the ship and 230 souls on beard, two seams in the bottom being partly left without calking." " The Argus brig, from Cadiz, sprung a leak when three days out at sea, and soon after her common pump choaked and became use less. Captain Rutherford states all then depended upon her Foun tain Pump, which for nineteen days and eighteen nights was in ac tion without a minute's respite, when all arrived safely in London, with a thank God for the Fountain yump." ON LAND the New Portable Fire-engines are of infinitely better eerrlee than a lire brigade. They act instantaneously at the outbreak of a Are. " We are delighted with the invention—it is a great boon to so ciety."—Edltors Liverpool Mail. Tho New Portable Fire-engines have preserved a large portion of Norwich from destruction, for out of eighteen different properties on fire in and near the city, they saved eleven solely and seven mainly, including in the seven the Queen's Cavalry Barracks ; and in the eleven, Messrs. Morton's dyery, and 12,0001. worth of consigned pro perty; Stoke trustard, starch, and flour mills, and Messrs. Butcher's grocery warehouses, just in time to prevent a large quantity of gun powder therein from exploding, which must have spread around de struction and death. " North Walshara.—At this fire the Portable Engine was of great service, and by having one of them ready, there is no doubt but half the property now destroyed might have been saved."—Nerfolk Chro nicle, August 22, 1846. At a Norwich fire Juno 2, 1147, the two Portable Engines were the pets of the public. The cry was, feel the little engines and they will do the work, which proved true. The four large engines present proved useless. Portable Engines speedily prove steam-boilers to a dozen atmo spheres. Now the bet is this, all former Force Pumps, Lift-force Pumps, Lift Pumps, and Chain Pumps are bad machines they rub, grub, and scrape the water upwards by friction, which wastes two-fifths of the power used, and progressively falter by leakage, which Drs. Young and Hutton, with many other eminent experimenters, lamented thus :—The quantity of water actually raised by any machine seldom exceeCs half the power consumed, after overcoming friction and leakage ; and notwithstanding the best engineers In the world had tried in vain for two thousand years to abate these palpable defects in hydraulic machines, nevertheless, at last the victory is won, and won for ever ; for friction and leakage are now both annihilated by the new rolling principle in pumps, and their effect augmented from twelve•to twenty (or about seventy per cent.), and frequently with out more outlay. Most mot can sustain heavy rapid pump trials for 40 seconds, but some men drop at minute time. With a best new heavy working Fric tion Pump an active sound-winded young man of 140 lbs. weight can raise 10,000 lbs. of water one lost high in a minute, and with a Foun tain Pump 9,008 lbs. in half a minute. Thus a continual and most extraordinary lucrative advantage is gained over perpetual and uni versal ignorance, clearly proving that Knowledge is Power. John Clenton Roberts, Lai., in his popular work, No. 1,110, did well in placing Gosset's French Pump Abortion (that slaps the water upward) side by side with the Fountain Pomp, which upset a good deal of Folly. Because Mr. Mallett, Dublin, a thorough-bred pump maker. Mr. Baddley, London, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr. Ewbank, America, an ignorant pump book-maker, assorted that the two pumps were identical. But the Yankee out-fooled John Bull and Paddy in No. 1,183, and in No. 49i, nook-maker Millingtan's remarks are preposterous. However, on the other hand, Dr. Birk beck, Aberdour, Hay, Parkington, with many other discerning men, after witnessing the perfect effect and the beaatiful simplicity of the rolling principle, gave the invention the following true and sustain. able character:—The Fountain Pump is the most important improve ment in the art of raising water that has appeared within the last two thousand years—the greatest advancement in the useful arts In modern times. The Consummation Fountain ?umps are successfully carried out for private and public uses, at lifts below and above 100 feet altitude, for mart, horse, and steam power delivering from half a pint per stroke to 100 barrels of water per minute, and rendering every fair trial at competition ridicitious, whilst their durability is guaranteed at less cost than common pampa.

THE NATIONAL DEFENCES. The following is a copy of the letter addressed by the Duke of Wellington to Sir John Burgoyne, an analysis of which has already appeared in this journal : " Strathfieldgaye, 9th Jan., 1847. TO MAJ.-GEN. SIR JOHN J. BURGOYNE, K.C.8., &c., &c. _ _ " My dear General,— "Some days have elapsed, indeed a fortnight had, since I received your note, with a copy of your ob ,ervations on the possible results of a war with France, under our present system of military pre paration. " You are aware that I have for years been sensible of the alteration produced in maritime warfare and operations by the application of steam to the pro pelling of ships at sea. " This discovery immediately exposed all parts of the coasts of these islands, which a vessel could ap proach at all, to be approached, at all times of tide and in all seasons, by vessels so propelled, from all quarters. We are in fact assailable, and at least liable to insult, and to have contributions levied upon us on all parts of our coast ; that is, the coast of these, in cluding the Channel, islands, which to this time, from the period of the Norman conquest, have never been successfully invaded. "I have in vain endeavoured to awaken the atten tion of different Administrations to this state of things, as well known to our neighbours (rivals in power, at least former adversaries and enemies) as it is to ourselves. "I hope that your paper may be attended with more success than my representations hare been. "I have above, in few words, represented our dan ger. We have no defence, or hope of defence, except ing in our fleet. " We hear a great deal of the spirit of the people of England, for which no man entertains higher re spect than I do. But unorganised, undisciplined, without systematic subordination established and well understood, this spidt, opposed to the fire of musketry and cannon, and to sabres and bayonets of disciplined troops, would only expose those animated by such spirit to confusion and destruction. Let any man only make the attempt to turn to some use this spirit in a case of partial local disturbance ; the want of previous systematic organization and subordination will prevent him even from communicating with more than his own menial servants and dependants, and while mobs are in movement through the country the most powerful will find that he can scarcely move from his own door. " It is perfectly true, that as we stand at present, with our naval arsenals and dockyards not half garri soned, 5,000 men of all arms could not be put under arms, if required, for any service whatever, without leaving standing without relief all employed on any duty, not excepting even the Guards over the palaces and the person of the Sovereign. . . " I Calculate that a declaration of war should probably find our home garrisons of the strength as follows, particularly considering that one of the most common accusations against this country is, that the practice has been to commence reprisals at sea, simultaneously with a declaration of war, the order for the first of which must have been issued before the last can have been published. " We ought to be with garrisons as follows, at the moment war is declared : Channel Islands (besides the militia • of each well organized, trained, and disciplined) Plymouth lO,OOO Milford haven 5,000 Cork Portsmouth Dover Sheerness, Chatham, and the Thames 10,000 I suppose that one half of the whole regular force of the country would be stationed in Ireland, which half would give the garrison for Cork. The remainder must be supplied from the half of the whole force at home stationed in Great Britain. " The whole force employed at home in Great Britain and Ireland, would not afford a sufficient number of men for the mere defence and occupa pation, on the breaking out of the war, of the works constructed for the defence of the dockyards and naval arsenals, without leaving a single man dis posable. " The measure upon which I hare earnestly en treated different Administrations to decide, which is constitutional, and has been invariably adopted in time of peace for the last 80 years, is to raise, em body, organize, and discipline the militia of the same numbers for each of the three kingdoms united as during the late war. This would give a mass of organized force amounting to about 150,000 men, which we might immediately set to work to discipline. This alone would enable us to establish the strength of our army. This, with an augmentation of the force of the regular army, which would not cost 400,0001., would put the country on its legs in respect to personal force, and I would engage for its defence, old as I am. " But as we stand now, and if it be true that the exertions of the fleet are alone not sufficient to pro vide for our defence, we are not safe for a week after the declaration of war. " I am accustomed to the consideration of these questions; and have examined and reconnoitred over and over again, the whole coast from the North Fore land, by Dover, Folkstone, Beachy Head, Brighton, Arundel, to Selsey Bill, near Portsmouth, and I say that, excepting immediately under the fire of Dover Castle, there is not a spot on the coast on which in fantry might not be thrown on shore, at any time of tide, with any wind, and in any weather, and from which such body of infantry, so thrown on shore, would not find within the distance of five miles a road into the interior of the country through the cliffs practicable for the march of a body of troops. " That in that space of coast (that is, between the North Foreland and Selsey Bill) there are not less than seven small harbours or mouths of rivers, each without defence, of which an enemy, having landed his infantry on the coast, might take possession, and therein land his cavalry and artillery of all calibre, and establish himself and his communication with France. " The nearest part of the coast to the metropolis is undoubtedly the coast of Sussex, from the east and west side of Beachy Head and to Selsey Bill. There are not less than twelve roads leading from Brighton upon London, and the French army must be much altered indeed, since the time at which I was better acquainted with it, if there are not now belonging to its forty chefs ci itat Major-General capable of sitting down and ordering the march to the coast of 40,000 men, their embarkation, with their horses and artillery, at the several French ports on the coast ; their disembarkation at named points on the English coast, that of the artillery and cavalry in named ports or mouths of rivers, and the assembly at named points of the several columns; and the march of each of these from stage to stage to London. " Let any man examine our maps and road-books, consider of the matter, and judge for himself. " I know of no mode of resistance, much less of protection from this danger, excepting by an army in the field capable of meeting and contending with its formidable enemy, aided by all the means of fortification which experience in war and science can suggest. " I shall be deemed fool-hardy in engaging for the defence of the empire with an army composed of such a force of militia. I may be so. I confess it, I should infinitely prefer, and should feel more con fidence in, an army of regular troops. But I kno w that I shall not have these. I may have the others, and if an addition is made to the existing regular army allotted for home defence of a force which will cost 400,0001. a year, there would be a sufficient dis ciplined force in the field to enable him who should command to defend the country. " This is my view of our danger and our resources. I was aware that our magazines and arsenals were very inadequately supplied with ordnance and car riages, arms, stores of all denominations, and ammu nition. " The deficiency has 'been occasioned in part by the sale of arms, and of various descriptions of ord nance stores, since the termination of the late war, in order to diminish the demand of supply to carry on the peace service of the ordnance, in part by the con flagration of the arsenal which occurred in the Tower some years ago, and by the difficulty under which all Governments in this country labour in prevailing upon Parliament, in time of peace, to take into con sideration measures necessary for the safety of the country in time of war. " The state of the ordnance, arms, ammunition, &c., in magazines, is in part the question of expense, and perhaps in some degree one of time. " I would recommend to have an alphabetical list of the stores examined by a committee, and made out in form, as upon the enclosed half-sheet of paper, by ascertaining what there was in 1804, and what there is in store now, of each article, and the difference between the two accounts. [PRICE 3D. "I have taken the year 1804 as the standard, as that was the year in which the invasion was threat ened. It was previous to the employment of the armies in the Peninsula or North America ; in short, as nearly as possible similar to the political circum stances in which we stand at this moment, excepting that we are now at peace with France—we were then at war. "A fourth column would be the estimate of the expense of bringing the magazines to the state it) which they were in 1804. " With this information before him, the Master- General could give the Government accurate informa tion of the wants of ordnance, arms, and ammuni tion, and stores in the magazines of the country. " Yon will see from what I have written that I have contemplated the danger to which you have referred. I have done so for years. I have drawn to it the at tention of different Administrations at different times. " You will observe, likewise, that I have consi dered of the measures of prospective security, and of the mode and cost of the attainment. " I have done more. I have looked at and consi dered these localities in great detail, and have made up my r mind up on th e d e t a il s of their defence. " These are questions to which my mind has not been unaccustomed. I have considered and provided for the defence, the successful defence, of the frontiers of many countries. " You are the confidential head of the principal defensive part of the country. I will, if you and the Master-General of the Ordnance choose, converse or otherwise communicate confidently [confidentially with you upon all the details of this subject; will inform you of all that I know, have seen, and think upon it, and what my notions are of the details of the defensive system to be adopted and eventually carried into execution. " I quite concur in all your views of the danger of our position, and of the magnitude of the stake at issue. lam especially sensible of the certainty of failure if we do not, at at an early moment, attend to the measures necessary to be taken for our defence, and of the disgrace, the indelible disgrace, of such failure. " Putting out of view all the other unfortunate consequences, such as the loss of the political and social position of this country among the nations of Europe, of all its allies, in concert with and in aid of whom it has in our own times contended successfully in arms for its own lAnour and safety, and the inde pendence and freedom of the world. " When did any man hear of allies of a country unable to defend itself? " Views of economy of some, and I admit that the high views of national finance f others, induce them to postpone those measures absolutely necessary for mere defence and safety under existing circum stances, forgetting altogether the common practice of successful armies, in modern times, imposing upon the conquered enormous pecuniary contributions, as well as other valuable and ornamental property. " Look at the course pursued by France in Italy and Russia ! at Vienna repeatedly, at Berlin, at Mos cow—the contributions levied, besides the subsistence, maintenance, clothing, and equipment of the army which made the conquest ! Look at the conduct of the allied army which invaded France, and had pos session of Paris in 18151 Look at the account of the pecuniary sacrifices made upon that occasion, under their different heads of contributions, payments for subsistence, and maintenance of the invading armies, including clothing and other equipments, payments of old repudiated state- debts, payments of debts due to individuals in war in the different countries of Europe, repayment for contributions levied, and moveable and immoveable property sold in the course of the revolutionary war. " But such an account cannot be made out against this country. No ! but I believe that the means of some demands would not be wanting. Are there no claims for a fleet at Toulon, in 1793 ? None for debts left unpaid by British subjects in France, who escaped from confinement under cover of the invasion, in 1814, by the allied armies ? Can any man pretend to limit the amount of the demands on account of the contributions de guerre . _ . " Then look at the conditions of the treaties of Paris, 1814, 1815. France having been in possession of nearly every capital in Europe, and having levied contributions in each, and having had in its possession or under its influence the whole of Italy, Germany, and Poland, is reduced to its territorial limits as they stood in 1792. "Do we suppose that we should be allowed to keep —could we advance a pretension to keep—more than the islands composing the United Kingdom, ceding disgracefully the Channel Islands, on which an in vader had never established himself since the period of the Norman Conquest ? " I am bordering upon seventy-seven years of age passed in honour. "I hope that the Almighty may protect me from being the witness of the tragedy which I cannot per suade my contemporaries to take measures to avert. " Believe me " Ever yours sincerely, " WELLINGTON." THE NATIONAL DEFENCES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. should be exceedingly sorry that so influen tial a journalist should be deceived, and, therefore, unintentionally deceive his numerous readers, by the letter from Southampton, on the "National Defences," dated December 29 last. True it is we have ships and stores in abundance, but we cannot get crews to man them ; for we have no re served force of seamen at command, no maritime militia like the French, registered 101,306 sea-faring men, bound to serve if called, no permanent force of 8,000 skilled gunners and sailors, as at Toulon and in the Channel. Give us time, truly ! why the first notice we shall have of war will be the hostile invasion and destruction of some of our arsenals, or the burning of our merchant ships in the Thames or the Mersey. When, in 1844, the British Consul was imprisoned and then turned out of Otaheite, our channel fleet consisted of ONE line-of-battle ship, and it took months to obtain such volunteers as might partly man two or three extra men-of-war ; and had the twenty-four line-of- battle ships then at Cherbourg and Brest, been towed out by the great steamers long-trained to the duty, with the 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers always in garrison in and near those ports, not to speak of Paris and its garrison of 60,000, with a railway to the coast —had they struck a sudden blow, such as Admiral Lalande had proposed in 1840, we had neither navy, nor army, nor militia, nor fortresses, to defend us. We are somewhat better prepared now, but not much. Who doubts the courage of our population ; but what could they do without training, discipline, or , knowledge of gunnery ? Would the sheriffs of_ coun ties and posse conzitatus have p rotected England, each man being armed with the only weapons he knows how to use effectively, his working tools? The truest friends to peace are they who would prevent careless security from giving the opportunity of a sudden blow to those who hate us—who tell us in their speeches and writings that they must and will revenge our many victories and their own humiliation. i When the French steamer of war, a few years back, fired a salute at Sheerness, and found then no batteries there to retu rn the salute, no ships o f war but those lying dismantled in the Medway, what could have prevented the destruction of millions of property and thousands of lives in the river Thames? If the public will not vote supplies to the Govern ment for defence, and for the proper organisation of our means and power, we cannot be in a state of pre paration or safety, and shall be massacred and plun dered Alen we least expect. As for trusting to impressment in future, it is unjust, unpopular, uncer tain, and at the best only provides crews undisciplined and quite ignorant of cannon. Your well-wisher, M. Kendal, Ja n . 1, 1848. FRENCH PLAYS.—The tragedy of Antigone, which is to be one of the grand coups of Mr. Mitchell's season, and in which M. Bocage will make his second appear ance, is now in a forward state of preparation. A full rehearsal took place on Saturday, at which the whole of Mendelssohn's music was performed, and we understand that the tragedy will be positively produced upon Wed nesday. In the version played some years ago at G Covent-garden, the music of the great erman com poser was only partially given ; in the forthcoming performance, however, every care will be taken to ensure the due interpretation of the whole of it. .The orchestra will include many of the first instrumentalist, •f the day. HER MAJESTY BITTEN BY A DOG.—It will be re- collected that, not long since, a splendid dog of the Mount St. Bernard breed was presente d by the Queen to the Zoological Society in the Reg ent's Park. This animal, which was a present to her Majesty from the King of the French, is of so ferocious a disposition, that it has not been deemed safe tosuffer it to be once un chained since its arrival . It is not generally known that, just previous to its being sent away from Windsor, the Queen, while stroking the dog at the private kennel, was bitten in the right arm by the animal, inflicting a wound which caused the blood to flow. Tbis unfortu nate occurrence caused considerable alarm at the time for fear of the consequences, and the dog was com manded to be sent away, but not to be destroyed. , 1 71*An At ,-,,' I fil •', 119 c l ' 141,11 ~ .), ..p,, , 5 ,, , i,, i t. •,, , i, .... - _„. • . ....,,t • , . 51 1 ? 4st C gilr, 4 •.:,,N. ,'• A r, `..,'---,,,% ir - - 14,,,\,,,,,,, je . _ 70..., i 7 , 4 _, .., .T r , td it: ,,, V.' ,441 , 4 4i , ...t- .„.1-• 42 • 40. .. , - , : 4 : ‘ c-------, ,, ' l ;-,,,,-/:,740,.. 4; ~,r, ...., Th. -,, ~ .i.:., , ,, , ,..., N., a 4 ...:., , ,e %.4 ' l / 4 ''' ...-- .- 'v.. . • „....

He said that on Saturday morning, about four o'clock he was awoke by a knocking at the door } lie opened the window, when Harriet Parker called. out, " It's me, Mr. Moore; I want to speak to your kvife ; do not hinder her; I'll not keep her five. at: iutes."

The clothing of the bed v,': ;s w i fe or ,: very much disturbed. Jane Moore, ast witness, stated that upon going down stairs she found Harriet Parker waiting at the door. She wet into the lower room, and sat down, exclaiming, " Oh, Mrs. .Moore, I have done it." Witness asked 11.°r what • she had done, when Parker replied, " Blake c:; me h om -e last night to take me to the play, and on going °G.' . he met with a strumpet or stump (witness could n.'t recollect which), who took his arm and they raft► away immediately, saying that she was Parker's; mistress." Witness considered that she was greatly excited, and she told her that it was not a fit time to call her up to tell her of it. Parker then got up anti walked towards the door. She asked her whether or not Mr. Blake had come home. Parker replied, .. N o , he has not, and a pretty spectacle there is for him when he does come home.' Witness asked her what she had done, when Parker placed her hands on her shoulders, and said, " I have murdered his two chil dren." itness said, " You don't mean to say that?" and she replied, " I do, and I am now going to give myself up." She then went away. Police-constables Renden, G 11, and Brqwn, 223 G, described the state they found the room, and the position of the children when they entered at the window. The former witness was of opinion that the deceased children had been strangled by the hand, from the marks on the throats. George Fowler, 161 G, said that about four o'clock on Saturday morning Parker came to him in Play house-yard, and said to him "I give myself up." He asked her what for, but she refused to tell till she got nearer to the station-house. Another policeman came up and asked him what he was going to do with her, was it anything to do with Cupid's-court. She said, " Yes, I have murdered the two children, I intended to do this nine months ago; now I have done it, more to my sorrow, but I knew what I was about." William Grubb, living at 3, Cupid's-court, deposed that when he and his wife returned from Sadler's Wells Theatre about twelve on Friday night, Parker passed him as he was standing at the corner of the court. On his going in he saw that the window and shutters of her room were open, and the two deceased children sitting on the bed at play. —(Great sensation 'in the court.) He went upstairs to bed, and heard nothing till he was awoke by the noise in the court in the morning, To the Coroneti----.saw nothing of Parker after twelve on Friday night, nor did he hear any noise or cries till the knocking at four the next morning. He believed (panelling took place be she was of sound mind. tween her and Blake sometimes. She appeared quite sober when she passed him.

She spoke out loud knowing he was present. She said, " I committed murder to revenge the father of two children, they are innocent, lam guilty. lamof a vindictive mind, through my wickedness I have done it." He cautioned her, and she paused. She coniLlued, " I loved him, I doated the ground he walked on. I am not like a person that was drunk, I knew well ven,:t I was about. I was sober." The CORONEB said it was a most extr:ordinary case, from the admissions made. He thought a. .. this was only the second day, Sunday included, after th. discovery of the dreadful crime, it would be better to adjourn the inquiry, when the surgeon's concluding evidence would be taken, and it would give the wretched woman an opportunity of corresponding with her friends. From the long remand the case could not possibly be sent before the present grand jury at the Old Bailey. The inquiry was then adjourned until Thursday next. SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY, JAN. 3.—The Peninsular' and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's splendid new iron steam-ship Euxine, Captain Wilson, sailed this afternoon for Gibraltar, Malta, and Constantinople. She takes the Bombay mail to Malta, where it will be trans• ferred to one of the Company's steamers for Alexandria. The Euxine has 45 passengers and a full cargo, con es sisting of 450 tons of bale goods for Constantinople and Trebizond. The Spanish steamer Isabella Napier, Cap tain Coxhead, arrived on Saturday from Oporto with • cargo of oxen. The Jupiter, Captain Meehan, is ex pected on Wednesday with the Spanish and Portuguese mails. CONSOLIDATED TRELEIGIT COPPER MINING COM' PANT.-The quarterly meeting of this company was held at the Offices, 57, Old Broad-street, yesterday, Mr, Ashley in the chair. The chairman said that the direc. tors were very anxious to give a dividend to the adven turers in the company, but the depressed state of the times, and the low prices at which copper ore had ranged during the past three months, prevented them prudently doing so. Mr. Nicholson then read the accounts, which. showed that the receipts, including a balance in hand at , the last meeting of 8,8321. lAs. 10d., amounted to 6,390 E 15s. 6d., and after defraying the expenses of the cjnarteri including a ,dividend amounting to 1,5221. 10s., theta remained available assets of 2,8291. 13s. I Id. (exclusive of a reserved fund of 450/.), subject, however, to liabi lities amounting to 989/. 6s. 10d. Mr. Birdsey and I.lr. Lindo thought that a dividend of ss. per share might be declared, but, after some conversation, in which it was explained that the assets consisted principally of mer chants' bills not yet converted into cash, it was resolved not to declare a dividend for the present; and thanks being voted to the directors, the meeting separated. HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—On Friday, a man ,flamed Benjamin Rogers, servant to Mr. Walter Of the Albion Works, West Bromwich, was sent to Bir mingham, and having received 70/. in silver, he put It, into a leathern bag, which he strapped round his shoul ders, and returned by the packet-boat. He left the boat at Bromford bridge, and was walking along the canal side, when four men suddenly stopped him and de manded his bag. lie refused to give it up, and they proceeded to force it from him. Rogers shouted for as - sistance, and attracted the attention of Betts, the parish constable, but before he reached the spot the robbers made off with the bag. Betts immediately pursued the men, and succeeded in taking a man named John Ilewson, alias Jones, and said to be a notorious house breaker. The other robbers effected their escape, but two of them have since been apprehended. The three prisoners underwent examination on Saturday, and Ro gers identified Ilewson as one of the gang who robbed him. The prisoners were then remanded until Saturday next.—Birmingham Gazette. A VETERAN.—Lieutenant-Colonel John Babington died on Saturday, at his residence in the R e gent's-park. Ho had served with a detachment of the 14th Light Dragoons, to which regiment he remained attached throughout his whole career, in the unfortunate expedi tion to Quiberon Bay, and the occupation of the Isle of Dieu, on th He Was sub sequentlyengaged for two years in St. Domingo aft er ec coast o f La Vendee, in 1795. itsceleb ra ted revolt from the French. On his return to Europe he served in the Peninsula and Eolith of France from 1809 to March, 1814, including the different affairs with the enemy on the 10th, 11th, and 12th of May, 1809; the crossing of the Douro; the battle of Talavera; the affairs with the enemy's advanced posts on the 11th of July, 1810, in front of Ciudad Rod' igo, when Colonel Talbot, commanding the regiment, was killed; the Pas sage of the Coa; and various actions covering the retreat from Almeida to Torres Vedras; the battle of Busaco; and in all the actions with the enemy in their retreat from Santarem to the frontiers of Spain, the Pass of Maya, the Lines of Ainhoa, the passage of the Niue and Nivelle, Cambo, Hasparen, Hellette, Garris Sauveterre, St. Gladi, and the battle of Orthes. He was wounded (horse killed) and taken prisoner on the 14th of March, 1814, in a cavalry outpost affair at Clarac, between Airs and Pau. After the conclusion of peace in the same year, he had arrived at Bermuda with two squadrons of his regiment en route for the United States, when he was recalled in consequence of the escape of Napoleon from Elba, to join the army under the Duke of Wellington, in Belgium, but only reached Europe after the war had been happily brought to an end by tho battle of Waterloo. SPARROWS.—It is proved that a pair of sparrows , during the time that they have their young to feed, destroy on an average every week 3,360 caterpillars. This calculation is founded upon actual observation. Two parents have been known to carry to the nest forty caterpillars in an hour ; and, supposiag the sparrows to enter the nest only twelve times during each day, which would cause a consumption of 480 caterpillars, this sum gives 3,360 caterpillars e xtirpated weekly from a garden. But the utility of these birds is not limited to this (lir cumstance alone, for they likewise feed their young with butterflies and other winged insects, each of which, if not destroyed in this manner would become the parent of hundreds of caterpillars. A FELINE FISHER.—A cat, kept at the East Mill, in this town, has shown an extraordinary propensity for catching fish, which she does very adroitly, and with considerable sagacity. She seems to have learned to know that when the hatches are raised, the fish are washed over by the force of the current, and that when they are closed the water suddenly recedes, leaving the fish for a moment exposed on the stones at the bottom of the fall. As soon as she hears the hatch lowered, she rushes out of the house, and, springing to the bottom of the fall, seizes any poor unfortunate fi.h that may be floundering there, and bears it off in triumph.— Western Flying Post. DIABOLICAL OUTRAGB.—Last night, about seven o'clock, a ball, supposed to have been discharged from nn air-gun, passed through the parlour window of a house in Gower-street, Bedford-square, and struck lady on the forehead. The window being formed of plate glass so greatly lessened the force of the missile - that no serious injury was inflicted. A'
