A model gentleman will never go To any Mart but MOSES'—Oh ! dear, no 1 For where could he obtain attire so smart As that display'd at MOSES' model Mart. 'Twould matter not wherever he might toddle, One thing is clear—he'd never be a model— ♦ model gentleman, besides all that, Would go to MOSES for "A MODEL 'HAT." Such Model Hats as these of MOSES' are Have spread their "stylish character" afar, And whosoever wears mot oil his noddle One from this stook must prove himself no model. A model gentlemae will always ch oose MOSES' famed mart for MODEL BOOTS 11rD SHOES. A gentleman would never be complete Unless he made two models of his feet ; Which cannot be effected if he hum Any but those which MOSES' house supplies. These are the Boots and Shoes in which to toddle, And he who wears them not, is not a model, A model gentleman you 'll never see In any thing but MODEL HOSIERY, Ills shirts and handkerchiefs, his gloves and hose Will all be found in keeping with his clothes, And if you asked if MOSES' were the model, You may depend he would'nt shake his noddle. A model gentleman would never do Unless his lady were a model too-- as . rut it must be his choice, as well M To favour MOSES' MODEL hers art for PITRS ODEL . Nor would he be pronounced a molly-coddle In trying thus to make his spouse a model. A model gentleman at once would know The mart to which his lady ou g ht to g• ; MOSES and SON'S prim A t hat which model e shop he'd name t o h e r, As t ladies should pref er .

" Sts,—llaving suffered most drealfully for the last six years from repeated attacks of tits gout, esat rsastvhtg no benefit from the best medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to try a box of Blair's Gout and Itheumatle Pills. When I commenced taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbews were very much swollen and inflamed: I was suffering the most intense agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awake in the morning comparatively free from pain ; and before I had finished the box, I never was better in my life ; they have not only entirely removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general health. I have since recommended them to four individuals, who have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and tr'ey all speak highly of the benefit they have received from them.

More exalted than mere passion, it sears high above every other impulse of nature, and is nct only stronger than avarice, but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from its intuence, er 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, er 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. These 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 en the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from !military habits, excesses, or infection.

Happy the mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf into whick such scenes must plunge him ! In the hook before us such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and iestruct the erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mud 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 un 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 strikintly beneficial as the admonitions of a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine." —United Kingdom Magazine.

Her Majesty's Steam-sloop Polyphemus, Gibraltar, Nov. 9, 1848. e y sty o ' f a thseteAam: Ad miralty, Sir,—Deeming it of importance that my Lords of the Admiralty should be made acquainted, with as little delay as possible, of the proceedings of her Majesty's sloop under my command, on the Bth inst., I have the honour to enclose duplicates of my communications to the commander-in-chief, and to request that you will be pleased to lay the same before their Lordships. I have, &c., (Signed) JAMES J. M. CLEVERTT, H. G. Ward, Esq., Admiralty. Commander. (Copy.) Her M a s t j G e s i t ba y r 's Steam •sv. 9 loop , 1 P B o 4 l B. yphemus, Sir,—l have the honour to inform you that on the 7th instant I received a communication from Mr. Glasgow, merchant, of this place, enclosing a letter from Mr. J. Forster, late master of the brig Three Sisters, of Liver pool, copies of which I herewith inclose. We started the same eveaing to the Rif coast, and at daybreak ran into Al Khoyamich Bay, and coasted from thence close to the shore, towards Cape Tres Forcas, for the purpose of discovering the brig, if they should have taken her to the westward. At eleven A.M. of the Bth, on opening the point of Calla Tramontana, we discovered her anchored close to the shore, in a small bay, partly surrounded by an am phitheatre of precipices, high rocks, and ravines, all of which places were crowded with men, armed with long muskets, evidently for the purpose of protecting the brig, which lay considerably within musket shot range. Their boats, seven in number, were hauled up on the beach and in the mouths of caverns, with a strong party of armed men lying under cover for the protection of part of the cargo, which they had landed. Their whole force appeared to consist of at least 500 men. On ap proaching close to the brig they opened a Ire of mus ketry from all points, which we immediately returned with grape, cannister, and musketry, doubtless with very good effect, as a very large number of them began flying about in all directions, and taking up more secure posi tions. Having dislodged them from the beach we pro ceeded to take the vessel in tow, which service was per formed by Lieutenant Gardner, who volunteered to take the cutter, with a hawser, and weigh the brig's anchor. Just at this time a fire was opened from a gun, supposed to be a six or nine-pounder, and as, unavoidably, our stern was towards the nearest point of low rocks, and, therefore, could make no return, it encouraged them to approach us quite close, and open a well-directed firs of musketry, which, I regret to say, severely wounded Lieu tenant Wasey and slightly two seamen on board the ship, and one seaman severely in the cutter. It was my intention to have landed and burnt the boats, but from the secure, position taken up by so nume rous a body of well-armed men, I deemed it very impru dent to risk so severe a loss as muss inevitably have taken place, particularly as the fire from cur great guns had rendered them unserviceable. Having now taken the brig in tow we steamed to sea. From the scattered position taken up by the pirates, it would be impossible for me to estimate their loss; but from the accuracy of our fire, and many men having been observed to fall, and some carried away, as we steamed out of the bay, there is little doubt , but it must have been very severe. In performing this service, it would be invidious in me to point out any individual, where every one behaved so well; but I cannot omit to bring to your notice the zeal displayed by Mr. Gardner, first lieutenant, who vo lumeered to board the brig under so . severe a fire, and who has at all times shown the 8111110 anxiety to assist in forwarding the service; also the able support I received from Lieut. Wasey, in command of the foremost gun, and the coolness and skill displayed by Mr. Taylor, the master, in conducting the ship in so intricate a place. I beg to return my thanks to Mr. F. Gilbert, pay master and purser, who volunteered to take command of the small arm men. Having placed Mr. Kirkham, master's assistant, on board the prize, with six men, I proceeded to Gibraltar, where I arrived this day. As a steamer is about to start for England, I have thought it requisite to forward a duplicate of this com munication to the Secretary of the Admiralty. _ I have, &c., (Signed) JAMES J.

(Copy.) COMMANDER OF HER MAJESTY'S SHIPPOLYPHEMUS, GIB. RALTAR BAY, NOV. 6, 1848. MESSRS. GLASGOW AND CO. Gentlemen,—lt is with extreme regret that I have to announce the capture of the brig Three Sisters, by the Moorish pirates, off Cape Tres Forces, on tlae 2d inst. When I left Gibraltar on the 31st of October, I car ried a fair wind until midnight ; it then fell very light, attended with calms, until eight o'clock the following morning, when a light breeze sprung up from the east ward. I then stood to the south-east, and finding that I was under the influence of a strong southerly current, I stood to the northward at six P.M. On the Ist it fell calm, which continued. At ten A.m. on the 2d, I observed several boats pulling off from the shore, which caused my crew to be greatly alarmed ; however, I waited until I could make out that they were nothing else than pirates, each boat pulling from 12 to 14 oars, with an additional lot standing in midships, with their long muskets, all ready for action; they also had large guns on their gun wales; after witnessing all the formidable weapons, I thought it was high time to look for the preservation of our own lives, accordingly I ordered the small boat to be got out, in order to keep without the reach of their guns, but, to my astonishment, no sooner had we put off from the ship than a volley of shot came tumbling about the boat, but fortunately they all fell a few yards short; and, I am confident, had I remained five minutes longer, there would be no person to tell the tale. However, we saw six of them abreast of the ship, keeping up their firing ut the ship at a distance, leaving one to chase the boat, but fortunately he gave up the chase in about ten minutes; he then returned to his companions, and as sisted them in towing the vessel within their own domi nions. We then made the best of our way across to wards the Spanish coast, and, thanks to Providence, we were picked up by the brig Dawn, at midnight, other wise the boat must have been swamped before morning, owing to her being so deep with all the ship's company and sundries. I beg you will transmit this information to the autho rities, and probably they will look after the vessel. I remain, &e., __ (Signed) JAMES lI:FORSTER, Master. MONEY MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris is 19 per mine, which, at the English Mint price of 3L 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 25.63; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.50, it follows thut gold is 0.51 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By the last advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 437 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. lop. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.11; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.11, it follows that gold is 0.17 per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London is 1084 per cent., and the par of ex change between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.83 per cent. against England; but the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference.

An immense number of electors end others assembled to see and hear the Honourable Gentleman, against whom a pretty strong prejudice had been raised by the pro ceedings of the Normanton and Wakefield delegates in their recent meetings. The numbers present must have amounted to nearly 15,000, and the meeting was one of the most exciting election scenes that have for many years been witnessed in this locality. During the whole of the proceedings great turmoil prevailed, and on some occasions it amounted to a degree of rudeness against the Honourable candidate. Mr. JAMES BROWN introduced Mr. Fitzwilliam, mak ing no apology for so doing, as ho conceived the name of Fitzwilliam was in itself a sufficient apology.--(Dis approbation.) Mr. BARON—I wish to ask if Mr. Fitzwilliam will stand here to answer any questions which may be put to him? Mr. CHARLES WENTWORTH FITZWILLUM here pre sented himself, and was received with cheers frem his friends, and by groans, laughter, and hisses, and cries of " take him home" from his opponents. After some delay, caused by the interruption, he said : —I have been asked to give a pledge to stand here to ask any ques tions—(Cries of "No, no, to answer them.") Well, to answer them. I give you that pledge—(Hear, hear) — and I trust to have a patient hearing. Gentlemen, I have been introduced to you in the kindest manner by my friends. I think it necessary to ask of you that kind indulgence which every new candidate receives from your hands, and which I, from my youth and inexperi ence—(Laughter and cries of " Hear, hear, " and "Go back, lad ")—I—I—I find my—myself placed in an ex ceedingly difficult position—(Renewed cries of " Hear, hear.") Your late Representative was a man of such extraordinary talents, and a man so justly popular amongst all his constituents, that it will be difficult for me to tread in his steps, though I hope I may have that power.—(A pause). Ido not intend to give you a set speech—(Great laughter)—but rwill endea vour, to the best of my ability, to touch on the lead ing topics of interest at the present day. With regard , to free trade, I give it my most cordial support; and although the results from it have not been so beneficial as at first thought, that has been owing to many and great disadvantages. The present unsettled state of the continent prevents some of our best customers from trading with us to that extent they otherwise would do. Famine in Ireland, too, has been another cause of this —(Laughter, and "Put your hat on.") The failure of the cotton trade is .another cause.—(More laughter.) As to the endowment of the Church by the State, I wish to go to Parliament totally unpledged—because it has ever been considered in Parliament, and it would not be fit for me to give any opinion on a question which has never been fully considered.—(Cry of " Don't you know your own mind upon it? Newman does; he can tell you.") If I did make up my mind I would not give a pledge.— (Cries of " Nobody asked you.") What I have said I meant to apply more exclusively to Ireland, which calls for some extraordinary remedy. When we find two de nominations of religion receiving support from the State —(lnterruption)---would it—(A pause and laughter.) Two, I believe—the Presbyterian and Protestant Church (Cries of " Take it from them both.") Some means might be devised of rendering the state of Ireland better by paying the Roman Catholic clergy. Ido not wish to tax England with it; but some means might be devised to put that unhappy country in a more prosperous state. —(Renewed interruption, and cries of "Break up the Protestant establishment.") With regard to organic changes, I am not, I confess, prepared to give them my support. When we turn our attention to the Continent, and sec how distracted those countries have been— (Pause—" The suffrage")—l de not think it advisable to make any great and extensive changes.—(More inter ruption.) Some years ago great reforms were brought about, and I certainly think.—(A pause and laughter.) 1 should not wish to prevent those who are able to use the privilege of the suffrage from receiving it. Ido not think it needful at present to bring about any violent or organic change.—(Cries of " Speak up.") Here the Hon. Gentleman made another long pause. He then proceeded :—There is also the question of economic reform, to which I should like to make some allusion. I think in the present state of the country great and ex tensive retrenchments is necessary in the public expen diture.—(Hear.) In what way this is to be done it is impossible for me to say—(Laughter)—but certainly, if due consideration is given to it. I think it will ke found that great retrenchments may be made.—(Cries of" The Army and Navy.") It would not perhaps be expedient to reduce the army and navy in the present state of the continent of Europe.—(Laughter and confusion, and cries of " Such as you want to be officers in them.") I have never tried yet.—(Applause.) I think it appears exceed ingly probable that on the election of the President of the French Republic there will be a great outbreak in the whole of Europe; therefore it would not be expedient to reduce those great safeguards of the empire, the army and navy.—(Laughter,) We must have our trade pro tected, and we cannot have that without ships of war. I think it would be heartrending to the traders of Leeds to find all their goods taken by pirates, and they not ar rive at the place of. their destination.—(Laughter and a 'Pause.) I must again ask you to give me your indul gence, as my youth and inexperience are greatly in need of it—(Hear, hear and shouts of laughter)—and when I address such an intelligent constituency as that of the West Riding, I do not ask that favour in vain. —(A pause.) Gentlemen, Ido not wish to detain you any longer, but am prepared to answer any question.— (Laughter.) Csa3urr (ex-mayor of Leeds) then came for ward. He did not wish to wound the feelings of Mr. Fitzwilliam, but the truth required to be told, and he was determined to tell the truth now.—(Hear, hear.) He then went into the circumstances under whioh Mr. Fits william now appeared before them. He admitted the right of the agricultural party to have the nomination of one representative and the manufacturing interest that of another; but in addition to that the Normanton meeting also recognised the right of pledging whatever candidate might appear to the four principles, of retrenchment in the public expenditure, a gradual and safe extension of the suffrage, free trade, and opposition to all further endowment of religion by the State. Even Mr. Fitzwilliam's own brother, Lord Milton, admitted the right to urge these pledges. But what had been the result? Why, Mr. Fitzwilliam, instead of alluding in any way whatever to the Normanton meeting, had set both the delegates and the principles upon which he was called forward as a candidate at defiance.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Fitzwilliam's conduct might be considered what in Yorkshire was called " pluck," but in this case it was not pluck, but defiance. In conclusion, Mr. Carbutt put several questions to Mr. Fitzwilliam. The first was as to the differential duties in favour of the colonies. Was he prepared to abolish them? Mr. FITZWILLIAM-I am not prepared to abolish all the differential duties. Mr. CARBUTT—Are you inclined to maintain the differential duties in favour of colonial sugar? Mr. FITZWILLIAM—I am not prepared to do away with them altogether. _ _ Mr. CARBITT - T—Milat will you do as to the navigation laws? Mr. FITZWILLIAM—I will do away with them except so far as allowing foreign vessels to carry on the coasting trade. Mr. Cannurr—Will you now favour us with your opinion on the extension of the suffrage? Mr. FITZWILLIAM—I am not for making an early and considerable extension of the suffrage. lam not averse to an extension, as circumstances may point out to be expudient.—(Disapprobation.) Mr. BARKER (the Chartist) now addressed the meet ing, and asked Mr. Fitzwilliam if he was prepared to vote for the abolition of the law of entail and primogeniture, and for a land tax of five shillings per acre, cultivated or uncultivated? Mr. FITZWILLIAN—No.—(Loud disapprobation.) Mr. RICIARDSON wished to know whether he was pre pared to divide the Church property of Ireland between the Protestants and Catholics of Ireland, according to numbers? . Mr. FITZWILLIAM replied, that the question had never been discussed, and urged therefore that it was impossi ble for him to give a definite answer.—(Disapprobation.) Mr. RICHARDSON submitted that the honourable can didate was not the man to represent the Riding.—(Loud applause.) As a test of the opinion of the meeting, he called upon those who thou g h t hi m fi t to represent ' the Riding to hold up their hands. Only one hand appeared in his favour. Mr. IlicuannsoN then called fora show of hands against Mr. Fitzwillliam, when nearly every hand was heldm Sir. pi ti a c na ll i 4 d x st r. g so re N a t t h a e p n p p la u l lt se it the honourable candi date whether he would persevere in his canvas with such a decided opinion against him. Mr. FITZWILLIAM —I shall keep my gronnd.—(Disap probation.) Mr. EDWARD BAINES then addressed the meeting. He spoke in high terms of the Fitzwilliam family, but, deeply painful as it was, he felt bound by an allegiance far above personal respect—his allegiance to principle— to say that he must on this occasion most decidedly op pose the return of Mr. Fitzwilliam.—(Loud applause.) Mr. PURDON here came forward, to announce that Mr. Roebuck, the late Member for Bath, was in the meeting, but the announcement was but imperfectly heard. Mr. BnooK, however, made the announcement of Mr. Roebuck's presence at the meeting, and stated it was the intention of the Normanton meeting to-morrow to bring him out. (The statement elicited great applause, and a general call was made for Mr. Roebuck to present himself). Mr. FAIRR/ORN then introdsced Mr. Roebuck. Mr. ROEBUCK was then very warmly received. He said be obeyed their call, but not having been formally invited to become a candidate, he must be considered as addressing them merely as a private individual. He then went on to express some of his opinions, giving not only the electors but the honourable candidate (Mr. Fitzwilliam) some advice. If there was one thing more than another they ought to preserve themselves from, it was the charge of such a constituency being controlled by an individual will. What they wanted was experience, political virtue, and character in a candid a t e , which should command success. He did not say that he (Mr. Roebuck) possessed these qualities. The truth might give pain to an ingenious mind, which, he believed, Mr. Fitzwilliam possessed; but he must say that Lord Fitz williarn's son, out of Parliament—(Hear, hear)—did not possess them.—(Loud applause.) So large a constitu ency as the West Riding, he contended, ought byttl means in their power to resist the spirit of intimidation attempted now to be practised upon them.—(Renewed cheers.) He then analysed the way in which Mr. Fitz william answered the questions put to hue, and en deavoured to show that the answers were characterised by neither candour nor knowledge; and he was con vinced that had the Hon. Gentleman been named Brown, Smith. or Jenkins, he would never have been thought for ,the West Riding.—(Laughter.)
