A PARENTAL DIALOGUE; OR, THE WISE CHOICE. • few evenings back (for I happened to see) Mr. Smart and his lady were sitting at tea; And Harry, their first-born, a beautiful lad, Completed the bliss of the Mammy and Dad. Now, at times such as this, it is often the case, That a family chit-chat is heard to take place ; So it was with the Smarts on the evening in question, And thus lairs S. made a useful suggestion " My dear," said the wife, with a smile that bewitched, " Don't you think it's high time for the boy to be breech'd ; " For my own part, I certainly think that it is ; " Aud now for his suit—for I'm rather a quiz. " I consider there's no better thing can be done, " Than to go to the Warehouse of MOSES and SON." " Of course," said the husband, " you couldn't suppose " That I'd ever go anywhere else for his clothes. " Messrs. MOSES my highest approval have won, " And they, therefore, shall furnish both father and son. " You remember, my dear, how I stood to remark, " Each juvenile suit as we walked through the Park ; " And I know they were MOSES and SON'S by the cut, " And Harry shall have one, without ' if,' or • but.' " Messrs. MOSES are faultless in all that they sell, " In hosiery, clothing, and fur goods as well. " And quality blended with cheapness is one " Of the mighty attractions of MOSES and SUN." Thus the wife and the husband agreed, as ono voice, And didn't they come to a very wise choice?" LIST OF PRICES. &LADY MADE.

Sales 3,000 to 3,500 bales American, at 4id. to 6,1. per lb. Railway Shales were rather better. The accounts from Paris are of so exciting a charac ter that the greater part of our City politicians are en gaged iu the con,ideration of their tenor. Business suffers by this uneasy feeling, though we are glad to notice a fair share of activity in some leading articles of consumption. The foreign exchanges were firmer yesterday after noon for bills on the principal continental cities. The accumulation of money in the discount market is likely to act upon the value of merchandise, but unless trade improves very decidedly, and confidence is restored, bills are not likely to be taken very freely. The Corn Market is steady to-day. The Funds have been fluctuating, but perhaps not to the extent that might have been expected. Consols have ranged from 881 to 89, and for April from 89 to 891. Exchequer-bills have been 295. to 325. premium. The New Three and-a• Quarter per Cents. have realised 891 to 90. Beak Stock is worth 199 to 200. The Foreign Bonds are heavy.

In the middling and inferior kinds, however, next L nothing was doing. Malting Barley was steady, but not dearer. Grinding and distilling sorts were much neglected.

THE AVENGER. POIITSMOUTII. FEB. 21.—The Relief Committee met this afternoon at the Naval College and resolve: on paying the allotment due for this month the fiat week in March. It was at the same time declared expedient to concentrate all the receiving forces and bring them into the focus of the Portsmouth com mittee, which would much simplify the distribution of the i.ountv as well as save considerable trouble to donors arid recipients. Mr. l'incham, master shipwright of this dockyard, is summoned to the Admiralti to-morrow. The new dock building by Mr. Bramble in this dockyard, the works of which have been inundated by the premature removal of an adjoining dam, is being pumped dry as fast as seventeen hand pumps, worked by four men each, and a ten-horse power ' steam engine pump, plied night and day, can accom plish the work. Only about eight feet of water re mained in the dock at noon to-day, which was ex pected to have been got out by another day's labour ; but heavy and incessant rain set in and increased the depth of water. It is expected they will have to employ a more powerful steam engine before the labourers can resume their work upon the ma sonry. The Prince Regent, 92, Captain Martin, is out of the hands of the dockyard parties, and is reported ready for sea by the 17th of March should she have completed her complement. The Java freight-ship embarked the 76th (second battalion) Regiment this morning, and will go out of harbour to-morrow. The wind is against her for sailing.

The first musicians in the country, and the most exalted personages, have been its patrons and supporters from the commencement. The evening was mainly devoted to music, and the speeches made were very short. Among them, Dr. Horsley' reverted with great feeling to his own ease In early life, he said, he had met with many difficulties; his health failed, he had family misfortunes to en• lure; but when lie joined this society, he felt compare. , live ease and tranquillity, and lied been a member of it in health and strength for fifty years. M. Berlioz, whose health, in conjunction with that of the other French musicians, was drunk during the evening, returned thanks in French to the public for its paternal kimieess, and the press for their patronage. Mr. K i iyvett's health was also drunk, as the actin r of the society. lie was, he said, in returning thanks, already the father of fifteen legitimate children, and it was too bad to saddle brain with so large a family besides; but he hoped his children, at any rule, would not forget their old father. During the evening songs were sung by the veteran 13raham, who was greeted with rounds of applause, and by Mr. S. Reeves. We ought also to mention J. S. Smith's glee, " Return, blessed days," which was most beautifully rendered, and Mr. Iletton's song, " Day and Night," published 01 iginady under a German name, and well worthy of a German Master. Mr. R. Palmer, the member for Backs, was in the chair, in the absence of the Duke of Cambridge, who was prevented from attending by gout. Amongst the company were several distinguished musicians. Messrs. Horsley, Berlioz, Benedict, Bruham, and many others. The subscriptions announced amount to 4581.; amongst which were 26/. from the Duke of Cambridge; 21/. from the committee of Covent garden; 10/. from Sir T. Ackland; 101. from the Bishop of Bath and Wells; 5/. from 11r. Palmer, M. 13emAliet, and the Messrs. Broad wood. THE ARMY iN INDrA.—The Hindostan and Boyne, with troops, arrived at Bombay on the .sth of January; and her Majesty's ship Athol, with troops, arrived at Colombo on the 28th of January. tier Majesty's 4th Regiment is expected to embark for England about the 24th of February. Her Majesty's 25th Regiment to move from Cannanore to Fort St. George, Madras; her Majesty's 91st, from Fort St. George to Cannanore. 28th Foot, headquarters, under Colonel Messiter, were to embark o❑ board the Emperor on the 25th of January for England. The remainder, under Major Adams, were to embark on board the Malabar on the 18th of January. The 18th Regiment (Irish) arrived at Cal cutta on the Ist of January per Earl of Balcarras. The G bservateur Frarcais relates an extraordinary rubber of whist, which, for a wager, was played, to the great astonishment of the Parisian Gaetano's, during the most severe day of the late cold weather, on the frozen Spine, by four distinguished members of the Paris jockey Club ! They were well nigh congealed to ice them selves, but they persevered notwithstanding, and, by the aid of brandy, which was copiously administered to them, succeeded in bidding defiance to the cold, until the rubber was finished, and their wager won. THE OLDEST INHABITANT.—This far•famed and well-informed individual must surely be a lady in Mos• cow, who is in her 168th year, and who in her 122 d married her fifth husband !---Cologne Gazette. Sir IL Hume P. Campbell, Bart, of Marchmont, has intimated to his tenantry that they may kill game on all their farms.— Caledonian Mercury. A DECKED WELLED SCHOONER.—A small schooner of about 35 tons burden, which was cast ashore a little to the eastward of Cockenzie during the storm of Decerne her last, has, we understand, been purchased by Mr. Cadell, who is now fitting her up with a well, for the purpose of employing her in the fishing trade. This is highly creditable to the enterprising spirit of Mr. Cadell; and it is to be hoped he will reap a goodly harvest from the undertaking. Mr. Dempster, who has inspected the schooner, states that he believes such a vessel to be well adapted for working the trawl-net in Aberlady-bay, and fishing for soles and other descriptions of ground fish— hut that a well properly constructed for the purposes (X Cie deep sea fisheries in which cod might be preserved alive for several days, or even we ells, requires to be perforated with a greater number of holes than could be safely done in an 013 vessel. There are some peculiar fastenings requisite for securing the well, which are known to only a few builders in England, who make a point of keeping them as private as possible. In pro perly constructed fishing smacks, the well is a part of the framework of the vessel.—Caledonian Mercury. DEATH OF J. P. ALLIX ESQ., LATE M.P. F O R CAM.. URIDGESIIIRE.—This gentleman, who represented the county of Cambrite, in the last Parliament, died en tha 19th instant, at Swriffliarn, in that county, aged 63. JOINT STOCK COMPANIES.—The Bill which was introduced into the House of Commons, just before its rising, on Monday night, respecting joint-stock com panies, bears the following title :—" Bill to Amend the Acts for facilitating the winding up the affairs of joint stock companies unable to meet their pecuniary engage• meets, and also to facilitate the dissolution and wire:ine.- up of joint-stock companies." It was presented and read a first time. It was ordered to be read a second time on Mondey next, LIEUTENANTS OF THE ROYAL NAVY.—A meet ing of naval officers holding the sunk of lieutenant, was held cs terday at the London Tevern, Lieutenent Sir Henry Jervis, Bart., in the chair, fir the purpose of adopting a memorial to the Queen for the redress of cer tain grievances. They complained that a number of lieutenants had been left on half-pay without any pro motion since the war, although they were squally de serving as other officers who had been gradually raised. The system of promotion, as it now stood, was most ut.- satisfactory, except where Parliamentary or Admiralty influence could be brought to bear. Several gentlemen addressed the meeting, complaining of the treatment they had receive d at the hands of the Admiralty, and a memorial, to be entrusted to Capt. Pechell for presen tation, was unanimously adopted. NARROW ESCAPE OF THE RAILWAY KING.-011 Saturday last an alarming accident occurred upon the North Midland Railway, similar to that which occurred on the same line the week before. Of the particulars of this disaster one of the passengers gives the following account :—We left London, says he, by the express train for Edinburgh, at half-past nine o'clock. There were three first-class carriages, .ere of which was " engaged" for Mr. Hudson and his friends. The train went on steadily and well till we came to the bridge at Derby, where we were detained some minutes by Mr. Hudson holding a conference with one of his officials. The time thus lost had to bo re• gained, and we went at a terrible pace until about it mile beyond the tunnel north of Chesterfield, when a violent tossing and pitching began, with a dreadful shock. The engine-driver soon stopped the carriages, and on scrambling out this fearful state of things appeared. The train consisted of one second class carriage, three first class, and a luggage van behind, the second class carriage and the first of the first class carriage's were uninjured. The next carriage, in which was Mr. Hudson, had been dragged along on the fore wheels, without any hind wheels or axle; the back part, was nearly knocked to pieces, and how it could have escaped an upset it is difficult to imagine. The third first class carriage was left a quarter of a mile be hind on the ground, but erect, without any wheels or axles at all, and beyond that, the luggage van was knocked to pieces, and turned over twice. By some extraordinary providence amidst this fearful catastrophe, no one was serioesly hurt. A distinguished northern nobleman was in the centre part of one of the first-class carriages with his family, and was lecked in; he behaved with the greatest coolness, and it was only when the guard got out of the fragments of the luggage van and joined us that we could extricate them. The rails were torn up for some length. Mr. Hudson bustled about with his usual volubility, and after a stay of three quarters of an hour, the passengers and luggage were packed into he uninjured carriages, and wo sped on to Norwanton, one passenger slightly wounded in the head and another in the le;. --Leeds Mercury. PARTIAL DE,TRUCTIOS BY FIRE OF ARBOTT'iI LEIGH PARISH CHURCH, SOMERSETSUIRE.—BRISTUI MoNDAY, FEB. 21.—A horse express arrived in this city yesterday afternoon, bringing intelligence that the parish church of Abbott's Leigh, distant about five miles from here, was on fire, and in danger of complete de etruetien. The engines of the West of England, Impe rial, Norwich, and other offices, were horsed and des patched at a rapid rate to the scene of conflagration. It would seem that Divine service had been celebrated in the morning by the vicar, the Rev. Martin Whish, and it was intended that another service should be held in the afternoon, at three o'clock. Shortly before that hour, however, it was discovered that the church was on fire. The stove which is employed to warm the building had, by soave means, become overheated, and had ignited a portion of the woodwork of the nave of the sacred building. On its being discovered, the utmost consternation and alarm was excited in the village, and messengers were dispatched in various directions for assistance. The fire rapidly extended, and at one time threatened the destruction of the whole edifice. William Miles, Eq., the Member for East S m o i m le er fr s o e m t, e whose was speedily on the spot with numerous domestics, and lent m ost efficient aid, as well church, was situated at about a q uarter of a oonextaeirntsio:ver of by judicious directions as b y assistin g p ersonal ly in c th a e rr) fi .i r n e g mo w e ater artihders ti . T and ancient monuments of the Norton famil y , who formerly o sniu h il e 'ti c il li g ure t h he occupied the Court House, and who sheltered King Charles after his defeat at the battle of Worcester; as also a costly mural erection recently raised in eam mensoration of Philip John Miles, Esq., of Leigh Court, the father of the Members for East Somerset and Bristol. As soon as it was found that the internal fittings of the nave could not bo saved all efforts were directed to the saving of the chancel, iu which the monuments are. Ilappily these exertions were not thrown away, and although the interior of the nave was destrdyed, and the walls themselves damaged, yet the tower and chancel were preserved witbcut having ex perienced any considerabls damage. The church, which was one of great antiquity, fermi ly belonged to the Abbey of St. Augustine, Bristol. It was not insured in any office, and as the entire population of the village only numbers a few hundreds, its re-erection must, unless private liberality should step in to their aid, fall heavily upon them. THE YEOMANRY FORCE OF THE COUNTRY.—A re turn, moved for by Mr. Hume, M.P., shows that the yeomanry force of Great Britain consisted, on the let of January, 1647, of 16,829 men, including 993 officers. In 1840 the force was 20,791; in 1836, 22,712; and in 1829, 8,351. MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. CIIATHAM, FEBRUARY 9.—Tho following detach ments from the Provisinal Battalion march from this garrison, on Monday, the 21st, en route for Woolwich, for embarkation as a convict guard on board the transport ship Anna Maria, for conveyance of convicts, as free set to Hobart Town and Port Phillip. The detachment was inspected this morning by the Commandant• Colonel Simpson. It consists of I sergeant, 2 corporals and 27 privates. The sSth regiment furnishes IS pri vates; 11th, 1 corporal; 99th, 1 sergeant and I corporal; and 65th, 9 privates, with the usual allowance of women and children. Lieut. D. Bazalgette, 65th, with Ensign J. Mac Henry, II th regiment, takes command of the detachment. On the morning of the 18th inst. a detachment from the provisional battalion marched from this place to Til bury Fort, consisting of 4 sergeants, 4 corporals, and 37 privates, under command of Ensign I.l.agster, for the put pose of assisting in the carrying out the sentences of court-martials on eight prisoners, privates of the 95th Regiment, viz., Richard Meaher, John Shea, Robert Smith, John Glanville, Charles Godfrey, Bony, and Rogerson, who were tried at that fort by a district court martial for violent and insubordinate conduct on the night of the 23d of January last, at the New Tavern Fort, Gravesend ; the sentence of the court being that each prisoner should be imprisoned for six calendar months, and that C. Godfrey, Lane, and Berry, in addition, to receive corporal punishment of 50 lashes. On the detachment making its appearance at the fort, the prisoners set up a most savage yell, and it appeared to be their intention to commit some outrage, but os►ing to the order given to the detachment to fix bayonets, the prisoners were brought in front of the line, when each of them received their sentence. Lane, Berry, and Godfrey, being the principals in the outrages, the aornreander-in-Chiet altered the sentence on these prisoners by ordering them to seven months' imprison ment, and in addition to receive 25 lashes each, which, punishment was inflicted in the presence of the troops, and as each was loosened from the halberts, he jumped and laughed at all around. The whole of the prisoners were then reproved under a strong escort to the military prison, Fort Clarence. First-Lieutenant C. A.. Wylde, of the Royal Marines, is this day placed under orders to proceed to the Maid of Ascension. Lin RECRUITING SERVICE.—It is rumoured that n considerable change is about to be made in the mode of raising recruits fur the army. Although unable at present to speak positively on the sabject, we ha ve some reason for believing that the recruiting will iu future be entrusted exclusively to the staff officers of pensioners, and those em ployed under their command; and that both officers aud men at present employed on the rt cruiting service will shortly return to the regiments to which they belong. As a corroborative fact, we may mention that nearly all such non-commissioned officers and soldiers belonging to regiments and depots stationed in Ireland are now on the march for the head-qnsrters of their various regi and depots.—United Service Gazette. It is understood that Alajor-General the Hon. Henry Cavendish has been appointed the cavalry officer of the acting committee for the inspection of army clothing. The Master General and Board of Ordnance have au- thorised the following pieces of ordnance being placed in the grounds of her Majesty's Royal Military Hospital at Chelsea, viz.:-1 brass mortar, captured from the French, 1 brass field gun of 12 pounds, one of 8 pounds, and 1 brass howitzer of 6 inches; the three latter were captured at the battle of Waterloo. Orders have been given for proper carriages being prepared for their re ception.—United Service Gazdte. ADJOURNED INQUEST ON MRS. SHUTTLE WORTH. Yesterday, at the Manchester Arms, Adarn•street, Manchester-square, Mr. Waklev, M.P., and a respect able jury, resumed and concluded an inquest on the body of Martha Elizabeth Rhodes, alias Shuttleworth, who died on the 6th of January last at York House, Chelsea, a private lunatic) asylum. Tho particulars of the case have already appeared in The Sun. The nurse who attended deceased during the last month of her life, the sister of the deceased, and the Rev. Mr. Rowlett and Mr. Wilmot, who signed the certificate of lunacy, were examined at great length. Mr. Wakley then deemed it indispensable that the nurse who had attended the deceased before the 21st of December last should be summoned, and from the state- ments made by Miss Rhodes in the course of her evi- . dence, that 1)r. Turner, one of the Commissioners of Lunacy, should be requested to attend. Among the witnesses examined yesterday were Dr. Millingen, Dr. Thomas Turner, and Dr. H. Quain. The jury returned a verdict that deceased died from debility and paralysis, owing to effusion on the brain and spinal marrow. THE INCOME-TAM AGITATION.—Meetings in all quarters respecting Lord J. Russell's proposed addition to the unjust, partial, and therefore oppressive income tax are already threatened. There will be a meeting at the Marylebone Court-house this evening. On Thurs day, St. Bride's parishioners assemble on the subject ; and on the SAMO day the members of the Common Council of the City of London meet, " in consequence of the proposed continuance and increaseo fthe th i e nc L o o m rd e tax,' to corsider the propriety of requesting Mayor to convene a special Court. TLIR INCOME-TAX —BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY.-- The threatened imposition of an increased income-tax, has already aroused s vigorous opposition in this town. A public meeting is in contemplation; but in the mean time a petition against the Minister's proposition has been already signed by a large number of the most in fluential merchants and tradesmen in the town. SUICIDE ON THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.- Last night an inquest was held before Mr. Carter, at the Nino Elms Tavern, Battersea, upon the body of Robert Oakley, aged 29, a seed merchant and fruiterer at Southampton, who deliberately committed suicide by precipitating himself in front of a train on the South- Western Railway. From the evidence adduced, it ap peared that the deceased's mind had been affected by the loss of a law suit, which led to his bankruptcy. The jury, after a short consultation, returned the following verdict:—" That de-ceased committed suicide by placing himself before a locomotive engine and train in pi ogress, thereby being instantly killed, being at the time of an unsound :tete of mind." RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—We learn that yesterday ' morning un accident of rather a serious nature occurred with the mail train, from London, on the Caledonian Railway, about twu miles on the other side of the Car stairs station. It appears that the mail train, which should have reached Glasgow at 20 minutes to two o'clock in the morning, did not arrive till 10 minutes to four. So fur as we cats ascertain, the delay was caused by the engine and tender running off the rails, in con sequence of a chain having given way, by which they, along with one or two of the carriages, were very much damaged, and the engine-driver and stoker more or less hurt. We have not heard of any of the passengers hav ing sustained any injury.—Norilt British Mail. HAYMARKET TIIEATRE. — La st night the perform ance ut this theatre was for the benefit of the Hotel and Tavern-keepers' Provident Institution. The pieces wer e Goldsmith's ctanedy of She Stoops to Conquer, the new farce entitled Dearest Elizabah, and the lairy extrava ganza of The Invisible Prince.
