'Twas near the close of Eighteen Forty eight, Some time in Autumn—l forget the date— When to the astonishment of each and all, Old Winter favoured MOSES with a call. Striking in countenance, and sharp was he, And very old, for I was there to see. His snowy locks hung round his frosty face, Whose ruddy glow illumined all the glace. Two icicles, as ear-drops, I observed, For which, of course, they admirably served. On being introduced, he bowed his head, • And thus unto the two great tillers said : " I've called anon you, gentlemen," said he, " Merely to ask what you've prepared for me? Your last dear's Winter stock I valued much ; 'Twos out-and-out; and I pronounced it such. But please to tell me," said the old papa, What kind Qf articles your present are ?" " With pleasure," answered MOSES, both together, " We'll tell yen what we have for Winter weather : First let us mention, venerable sire, Our admirable stock of NEW ATTIRE. Toll talk of last year's stock," said Messrs. MOSES, " nut look at what our Warehouse now discloses : Coats. Overcoats, and Trousers we display, In styles adapted to the present day. Improvement is our watchword, Sire, and that's Apparent also in our choice NEW HAT?. A Hat." said MOSES, " from our stock of stockS, Would well become those beauteous snow-white locks. You can't imagine, Father," said the Hatters, "How much we've done in these essential matters ; Nor dots our credit one iota lose, When staked upon our prime NEW BOOT IND HOES. With Shoes like these, thos S e poor o ld trots of yours Would not be plagued with bunions, corns, and sores. Another thing,we mint allude to. Sir, And that's our present stock of choice NEW FR. The ladies h ave pronounced them oat-and-out, And what the ladies say involves no doubt. If You were not a bachelor, we guess, You'd brin g t h e good old lady for some dress. A vast i mprovement also you will see In every feature of our I. There's not an artie ERY e nths choice store, But what the public values more and more. Such are the preparations we hive made - - In each peculiar feature of our trade." 'lieWe done!" said Father Winter, and with that took his stick, and donned his broad-brimmed hat. eE.

More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from its Influence, or can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage. When union does not take place, however, this passion, this fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind? It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be beyond measure deplorable ! Loving and beloved, he entails the most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of unalloyed happiness The subject is interesting, and deserves the attention of all. Those desirous of investigating it will find the fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled SELF-PRESERVATION, Illustrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the reproductive organs ; with practical observa ions on the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from solitary habits, excesses, o? infection.

REVIEW Or THE MIRK. La'Mert on the Infirmities of Touth and Maturity.—" There are scenes in the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf into which such scenes must plunge him 1 In the book before us such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al ready tutored by the vices of which It treats. It is written in a style of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally, upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By nn taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing In these pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine." —United Kingdom Magazine.

SOUTH DEVON ELECTION. - - PLYMOUTH, Nov. 29.—Sir Ralph Lopes has accepted the invitation of the electors, and has now placed him self at the service of the county. The Hon. Baronet ex pres,es his determination to oppose Catholic endowment, and he then proceeds to say—Although I feel that this subject is the one at the present moment most vitally affecting both our interests and our feelings, yet there are other subjects on which the electors ought to under stand the views and opinions of any gentleman invited to become their representative. I will, therefore, shortly state to you my opinion that protection should be given to all branches of native industry as fully as, under the circumstances in which the country is now placed, it is possible to preserve that prin ciple; and that I am strongly impressed with the neces sity, in the present financially-embarrassed state of the country, of enforcing the most rigid economy in all branches of the public service; accompanied by a re duction of our establishments as far as is consistent with maintaining them on a footing becoming t h e honour and dignity of this great country. The Honourable Baronet also says that he participates in the general desire that the administration of the poor-law should be watched and considered, with a View, if possible, of introducing such improvements a s may render it less burdensome to the rate-payers, without interfering with the due provision for the calls of humanity, from which none of us would desire to shrink. Mr. Kekewich awaits a re quisition, without which he has stated that he shall not come forward. HUN GE R FORD MA. RKET COMPANY. The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of this company was held yesterday at the offices in Villiers street, Strand, for the purpose of receiving the directors' report and other business. The chair was taken at one o'clock by Martin Stutely, who briefly addressed the meeting upon the im proved condition of the market property. The report stated that a most satisfactory arrange ment hid at length been made with the Charing-cross Bridge Company for ,terminating all legal disputes be tween the two bodies. The report also adverted to the extensive improvements now making in the fish market, and congratulated the proprietors on the fact that the profits of the year warranted an increased dividend on the pres,nt occasion. The report was adopted nem. con. A dividend of 21. 10s. per share was afterwards de clared, when a vote of thanks to the chairman and direc tors was carried unanimously, and the meeting separated a pparently highly gratified with the improved conditi on and prospects of the company. ALLEGED FASHIONABLE SWINDLING.---A person has been apprehended in Edinburgh, on a charge of forgery, who during the est few months mi xe d f ree l y in the higher circles of society there, and lived in a fashionable and expensive style at one of the principal hotels in the city. It appears that he had assumed high military rank, and had extensively patronised various establishments, chiefly clothiers and mercers, from whom he obtained a large supply of articles, at first by paying cash down for the goods he purchased; but h av i ng suc ceeded in establishing his credit, he then transacted business upon a more enlarged scale, and suddenly left the city without settling t h e numerous clai ms aga i nst him. The immediate cause of his abrupt departure was however, the discovery of a forge r y of which he had been guilty, for a limited sum, the person whose name he em ployed being at present on service in India. He was traced to Hull, and having been apprehended there through a telegraphic message transmitted thither by th e superintendent of p o lice here, he has been conveyed to the gaol in Edinburgh. ENDOWMENT OF THE ROMA N CA THOLIC PRIEST nooD.—A large meeting of Dissenting clergy men and laymen was held in Glasgow, on T uesda y , for the pu r p ose of opposing the proposed endowment of the R oman Catholic priesthood, and also in opposition to ex i s ti ng endowments of every description. Mr. A. ll aet i e Ism for the city, was called to the chair. A se r i es of r!esolu dens were proposed by the Rev. Drs. Eadie, Wardlaw, , in l engt h ened Taylor, Anderson, and other gentlemep eo speeches, in which they comm ented in the strongest terms upon the opinions of the C hurch of Rom e . It lotions were unanimously passe d a g ains t endowments of every kind, but especially agains t th at likely to br , pro post d for the support of the Roman Catholic priests in Ireland. It was resolved that a me morial founded on these resolutions should be transmitted to Government. WAR WITH CHlNA.—Const ant war with China is inevitable, unless we are permanently established at Chusan, from whence a s ingle war-steamer could in a few hours stop the whole internal navigatio n o f th e empire. The imperial grain ships (6,000) must pass near it on their way to Pekin; their cargoes are valued a t 24,000,000 taels ( 5 , 000,000/. sterling). It requires no great foresight to predict whether this would nut be more efficacious than blowing up a few mat-fo r t s , or sending our brave soldiers from liong - Eong, which is at the extremity of u line of seacoast of 2,000 miles.— China, Political, Commercial, and Social.

Thompson, arid Amiss, and four constables, proceeded in post-chaises to the hall. They arrived there about one there. They saw the bodies of f oa. r f . n o'clock in the morning, and found the inmates in a state and ascertained that Mrs. Jermy and her maid, E,iza: jdt A heireril t r e pyu l telegraphic noasdfdrehpoesnhrri hise n bath Chesteney, had been shot at and severely- wounded. • Before giving the particulars of this horrible affair it will be necessary to state the construction of Stanfield Hall. It is a large building in the Norman style of architecture, with a moat before it and an extensive park . round it. Of late years a wing has been added, cons pri,ing the servants' apartments . In front of the main building there is a porch entrance, leading into a spa cious hall, from which there is a passage to the dining and drawing rooms on the left. To the right of the porch them is au entrance and passage for the servants, - leading of ot into their compartment of the building. This In n e n 2 i g g . h u l l e t des toobnectseltaConstable e ouduse t th o a n Wymondham was passage and the preceding one run front to back. A passage runs from left to right across the centre of the building. intersecting the servants' passage and • leading to the dining and drawing-rooms. The per petrators of these murders were well acquainted with the premises, as will appear from what iollows:—Mr. Jermy, Mr. Jermy, jun., and Mrs. Jermy dined together on Tuesday evening, little expecting any murderous intentions towards them. The butler, two female servant, and a man servant were on the premises. Two female servants had gone to Wymond ham, and had returned to the park, but were not in the hall before eight o'clock. About half -past eight o'clock, Mr. Jenny, sen., left the dining-room, and walked through the hall to the front of the building. On re tu, fling, just as he entered the porch, a man wrapped up in a cloak, and wearing a mask, fired a pistol at him, and the shot lodged in the upper part of his left breast, close to the shoulder. He fell down and instantly expired, but owing to what followed was not removed for nearly an hour. The assassin went t o th e servants' entr ance to the right, passed through the passage from the front, turned to the left into the passage across the building, and met the but. - ler. With a pistol in each ban he *lamed, - Lo go back. Being rition of a man i ask presenting two pistels, the but ler retired into his pantry. The assassin proceeded onwards to the turn of the passage, where there was a dark recess and a door opening into another passage, leading to the back of the premises. He appears to have arrived in the recess just as Mr. Jermy, jun., alarmed at the report of a pistol, left the dining-room. The young gentlemen went to the door opening into the back passage, and there the man fired at him and shot him through the right breast. Re instantly fell down dead. Mrs. Jermy, hearing a noise, went to the same place, and while standing over the lifeless body of her husband the same diabolical assassin fired a pistol at her. The shot shivered one of her arms and wounded her in the breast. Her maid, more courageous than the other servants, went to the same spot to see what was the matter, and while supporting her mistress, the murderer discharged a pistol at her and severely wounded her in the thigh. The female servants, thinking they should be alt murdered, hid themselves. The man servant, who was then in the stables, hearing all this firing, and supposing that the house was attacked by a number of ruffians, swam across the moat and set off to Wymondham, where he gave the alarm which caused the telegraphic message to be sent to Norwich police-station. The murderer had, therefore, no difficulty in making his escape. The two women-servants who had gone to Wymondham returned with two young men, and while they stood outside of the moat talking they heard the report of a pistol and saw the flash. They thought Mr. Jemmy, jun., was trying to frighten them, and they went to the lodge. Constable Pout and the city police remained in the hall for some time, and found the ramrod of a pistol. About two o'clock in the morning all the police went to watch the house of Mr. Rush, at Hethel. They re mained all night watching the premises. About five o'clock they saw Mr. Rush strike a light, and heard him ring for his servant. They then entered the premises, auctioneer, Wednesday w d e powder-flasks. great excitement prev a il e d among t h e and took M r . R ush into custody.

EXAMINATION OF TIIE ACCUSED. WYRONDHAM, THURSDAY NICIIT.—The suspected murderer, James Bloomfield Rush, underwent an exa mination this morning at Wymondham House of Cor rection, before the Hon. and Rev. R. 'Wilson and Mr. W. R. Cave, county magistrates. Reporters were per mitted to be present, but for obvious reasons at the pre sent stage of the proceedings were desired,notto take notes of the evidence. It may, however, be stated, that the apprehension of Rusk was the result of his identification by the lady's maid of Mrs. Jermy, who positively swore that ho was the party who fired at herself and her un fortunate mistress. To enable his identification to be effected Rush was last night taken to the bedside of the young woman. The,examination lasted from ten o'clock to five. From fifteen to sixteen witnesses were examined, and a strong case of circumstantial evidence was made out. It was shown distinctly that Rush was absent from his farm at the period of the murders being committed. The prisoner endeavoured to rebut this statement, but failed in his appeal to two wit nesses upon this point. He exhibited the coolest indif ference during the commencement of the proceedings, and cross-examined the witnesses with some tact, but towards the latter portion of the examination he ap peared to undergo much mental suffering. The magis trates determined on adjourning the examination, and the prisoner thereupon applied to be liberated on bail. The request was ref Used, and the prisoner was removed warmly protesting his innocence. Rush appears to be about 45 years of age, and is stoutly made. He was attired very respectably. The awful occurrence has excited the utmost horror and consternation throughout the county, and the perk and grounds of Stanfield-hall have been visited since the oc currence by a vast concourse of persons. The grounds have been taken possession of by the constabulary force under the personal superintendence of Colonel Oaks, the chief constable of the county police. CORONER'S INQUEST. At twelve o'clock at noon this day (Thursday) Mr. Edward Press, one of the coroners for the county of Norfolk, held au inquest upon the bodies of Mr. Isaac Jermy and his son. The jury was composed o f the yeomanry and other respectable inhabitants of the dis trict. It was stated that in the early part of the d ay t h * coroner forwarded to the accTusheedli(stli:,slais)reatulirsnteodfwtibeth jury summoned to attend, with a vi ew of ascertaining if he objected to any of them, four i h n e amea decease era d s gentleman, scribed as G 9 years of age, and his son, Mr. Isaac Jermy, u jury having n. , as 30. The been sworn , proceeded to view the remains of the unfortunate deceased, ' which lay in the drawing-room of Stanfield-ball, and presented a melan choly sight. B o th b odies were stretched on the carpet in the apartment' and death a pp arent l y w i t h b ot h o f them bad been instantaneous. Mr. Jermy, sen., hd passing through h shot by hb a aldl assassin i n the left side,. the the e e heart. 0 The hen it passed son ed h r received ouh the b a ll i n his right side, son received the ball in his right side, when it passed t his body. T he coroner and jury were shown by the domestics the mode and place in which the murders had been committed. The murderer, there is no doubt, in tended to assassinate the whole family, and he succeeded in ehootsng at them all except a daughter of the younger Mr. Jermy, a beautiful child, three years of age, who escaped. It is supposed the murderer had been for some time past watching an opportunity to effect his mur derous design, and that he had se en the entire family, with the exception of Mr. Jermy, senior, in the drawing room, the windows of which fronted, and were almost on a level with the lawn. We have already stated that the elder Mr. Jermy was shot in the grounds. His son was met by the assassin at the porch of the principal entrance, and ran round to another entrance adjacent t o th e ser vants' office, which was generally open, and by which he entered into the body of the house, when, meeting with the villain again, he was s h ot dead. The murderer then proceeded into the drawing-room, expecting to meet with Mrs. Jermy and her daughtell but they had for some minutes previously retired into the dining-. roots. Hearing the second report of fire-arms, Mrs. Jermy ran out an d saw h er h us b an d lyi ng on t h e fl oo r. The assassin fired at both mother and child, but providentially with little effect. The terrified lady ran to the corpie of her husband, and was in the act of kneeling to ascertain his real condition, when the wretch fired another pistol or gun, which ' wounded the lady's maid. Mrs. Jermy was then hasten , ing to take r< fuge up stairs, when she was shot at and wounded. The ruffian then left the house, first throwing down a paper, on which was written—" There are seven of us, all armed, two inside and five out. You servants keep in the servants'-hall. ;If any of you attempt to follow, you will be shot dead. We are come to take possession of the estate. Signed, THOMAS PRESTON, the rightful owner." S IT N 7 DECEMBER 1, 1848. RAILRAWILAWYAYINBTILErk, LIBI4GB.4.NCE. . . Yesterday being the 30th of November, was the last, day allowed for depositing plans and. sections of new lines for which it is intended to apply to Parliament during the ensuing session for Acts. Unlike former years, very few deposits were made, and those only, in • most cases, for extension of powers and alteration of pre vious Acts. One or two of the older companies have given the required notices for the construction of branches, but the whole will not amount in length to 40 miles, showing a wonderful decrease on former years. From 1831 to 1840 the number of Railway Acts passed was 299. authorising the construction of about 3,000 miles of railway. In 1841, 19 Acts, authorising 15 miles; 1842, 22 Acts and 67 miles; in 1843, 24 Acts passed, for constructing 91 miles; in 1844, 48 Acts re ceived the royal assent, by which 797 miles of railway were authorised to be made; in 1846, 272 Acts passed, for 4,790 miles; in 1847, 184 Acts passed, empowering the construction of 1,663 miles; and in 1848, 83 Acts were passed, for 300 miles of railway. The total number of Acts pa'.sed since 1831 has been, therefore, 1,071, and the total number of miles authorised to be made is 13,600, of which, up to the present time, about 4,400 have been opened, leaving 9,200 either partially constructed or not yet begun. The following is a correct list of the companies who have given the requisite notice& of their intention to ap ply for the several powers contained in their Bills: AMIIERGATE, NOTTINGHAM, BOSTON, AND EASTERN UNION JUNCTION.—For powers to transfer the under taking by lease, sale, or amalgamation, to Midland, Eastern Counties, or Great Northern Railway.

Yesterday the following regulations for the deposit of petitions, and for determining the order in which they will be heard by the Examiners, were pasted in the Private Bill-office:— " DEPOSIT OF PETITIONS. "1. In order to facilitate the arrangement of the petitions and the subsequent hearing thereof by the examiners, in such order as may be most convenient to the parties and their agents, a register will be kept in the Private Bill-office, with blank lines numbered con secutively from one to five hundred; and every agent will be allowed to cause the petitions produced by him to be entered, respectively, on such of the lines, not then having any petition entered thereon, as he shall think fit; and if he shall not prescribe any order for the entry of such petitions, they will be entered in the order in which they are deposited, upon the earliest consecu tive lines then remaining unoccupied. "2. When two or more agents shall appear in the Private Bill-office at the same time, for the purpose of s i depositing petitions , unless they shall o i t n he t r h w e i order eagree, n their names will be placed in a ballot glass, and the agents will have priority respectively which their names shall be drawn; each in his turn being entitled to deposit all the petitions offered by him at that time, and to select such numbers for them as he shall think proper. " S. On the Ist day of January, between the hours of twelve and three,. agents will be allowed to exchange, by agreement, the numbers originally assigned to their petitions. They will, at the same time, be at liberty to transrer to other numbers in the register, being then un occupied, any of the petitions which may have been de posited by them, and their priority in the exercise of this right will be determined by ballot, if necessary, as in the original deposit of petitions (see No. 2). " 4. When two or more petitions in respect of which the same witnesses are intended to be examined, shall occupy adjoining numbers in the register, the agent or agents for the same may cause any of them, not exceed ing five in number, to be marked with a bracket, and regard will be had thereto, in determining the days on which such petitions shall be set down for hearing, and the examiner by whom they will be heard. "5. On and after the Ist of January the general list of petitions' will be made out in the Private Bill-office, in which the petitions will be numbered consecutively from one to the highest number, according to the order in which they shall have been finally entered in the re g4ter. (N. 13. This list will be printed for the conveni ence of the agents and the several parties concerned). " TUE BEARING OP PETITIONS BY THE EXAMINERS. "6. Not less than seven clear days' notice will be given, in th e P r i vate Bi ll-office, of the day appointed for the exami na ti on o f each petition, and the day so ap pointed w ill b e wr i tten against the several petitions upon a printed copy o f the general list of p e titi ons ,' which will be k e p t i n t h e P r i vate Bill-office for that purpose. " 7. So soon as the time allowed for depositing memo rials complaining of non-compliance with the standing orders in the cue of any petitions shall have expired, the word unopposed' will be written, on such printed list, against each petition in respect of which no such memorial shall have been deposited ; and the petitions will be set down for heating before the examiners in the order in which they stand on the general list of pe titions,' precedence being given, whenever it may be necessary, to unopposed petitions. . "8. Petitions will be heard In the order in which they stand in the daily lists, and in case any petitions shall not be disposed of on the days on which they may be first appointed to he heard. they will be entered in' the list of the following day before the opposed petitions ap pointed for that day, unless the examiners shall other wise adjourn or postpone the same. " 9. In order to expedite the business of each day, pe• titions appointed to be heard by one of the examiners will be transferred to the other, from time to time, when ever it may seem advisable to the examiners to direr such transfer." EXTENSION TO NORWICH OF THE EASTERN UNION. —Owing to the recent heavy rains the opening of the ex tension lines to Diss will be delayed some weeks; and for nearly three-quarters of the distance to Norwich, the soil being of a de) ey and treacherous character, engi neering operations are rendered difficult owing to the constant tendency to efflore. MOLD JUNCTION.—The construction of this railway is being pushed forward with all possible speed, and it is anticipated, that in a few months the whole will be ready for traffic. NORTH WALES.—PROPOSED BANGOR AND CARNAR VON RAILWAT.—The proposed line between these towns has been abandoned for the present, though a staff of surveyors have completed the survey. Ilia is owing, it is asserted, to the opposition of a landowner, through a portion of whose property it was necessary that the pro jected works should pass. This opposition is deemed by the inhabitants a vexatious one, the more especially so when contrasted with the handsome manner in which another landowner has come forward and munificently offered, free of cost, the whole portion of his land which th• line would traverse. The undertaking, if carried into effect, would prove of the utmost benefit, not only to the towns forming the termini, but also to the adja cent ones of Pwllheli, Tre Madoc, Port Madoc, Festi niog, &c., and, indeed, the whole of Merionethshire. DUBLIN ♦ND BELFAST JUNCTION.—FIRST TRIAL TRIP.—On Wednesday evening the first trial trip, under the personal inspection of Sir John Macneil, was made on that part of the line between Drogheda and Dundalk. The trip was performed in fifty-eight minutes, including two stoppages. Sir John was ac companied by the worthy contractors, Messrs. Killen and Moore, a number of engineers. On arriving at the Drogheda terminus Sir John was received with hearty cheers by the assembled people. Thomas Sim cocks, Esq., mayor of Drogheda, some of the town coun cil, and otner gentlemen of the town iaterested in the success of the undertaking, were in attendance awaiting the arrival of the train. The state of the line reflects great credit on Messrs. Moore and Killen, the contrac tors, as it was pronounced to be as firm and as even as some lines which have been at work for many years. Sir John and Lady Macneil set off for Dublin by the five o'clock train.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]--It is not possible adequatel y to speak of the wonderful efficacy of the celebated getable Restorative Pills, p repared by John Kaye, Esq - of Dalton-hall, near Huddersfield. Th e testimonies which pour in from all parts of the United Kingdom, prove that astonishing cures result from their use. Mr. Adams, of Cheddeston, near Bungay, writes that he suffered for seven years from indigestion, which brought on extreme debility, but that the use of the Pills has wrought a com plete cure. Mr. Peter Tivier, of 6, Stephen-street, Li verpool, says, " I have bean cured by one box of Kaye's Worsdell's Pills of rheumatism and eruptions of the skin." Robert Woaster, of High Wycombe, bears testi mony that for ten years he was afflicted with scrofula in his leg and knee, and that for five-and-twenty weeks he kept his bed; by perseverance, however, in the use of this wonderful medicine, he is now quite well, and works for fourteen hours a day. Sold in boxes at ls. lid.; 2s. 9d.; or 4s. 6d. each, by all Medicine Venders. To prevent imposition by spurious imitators, observe that Mr. Kaye's coat of arms and a fac-simile of his signature are printed on the directions wrapped round each box.
