My opinion of Moses' is this, That their warehouse has nothing amiss; For many a year have I tried The garments by Moses' supplied, And finding bow business is done, I can recommend Moses and Son. I've a bill on my file you must know, Which is dated just twelve years ago, When first I was tempted to try The garments of Moses' supply, And ever since then I've been one To support Messrs. Moses and Son; For during the whole of the, term, Not a fault have I seen in the firm. The various promises made Have all been fulfilled in their trade, And the more I have known of the mart, The more have I acted my part. In furnishing stylish attire, Messrs. Moses are all I desire; And I've equally found them outdo, In make and material too. These praises will also apply To the boots and the shoes that you buy; Nor can I say less of the shop, With prime Paris hats for the top ; And the hosiery shows what the trade is, And the beautiful shawls for the ladies; There's nothing, in fact, that you buy, But ranks the proprietors high. The whole of the houses, as one, Do credit to Moses and son. Then look at what savings are made By the very low price that is paid. The strictest economy here Is constantly found to appear. In all things the warehouse disc`oses What scarcely a stranger supposes, And that's my opinion of Moses. LIST OF PRICES. READY MADE.

One half the world are desolately single, and the other tapposing them married, questionably contented. Dialdence, or a sense of right _determine the former, and miscalculatel hopes em- V,tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health„ are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item in the compact.; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

WOOLWICU, MAY 17.—Lieutenant-General Sir Thos. Downman, C. 8., K.C.H., Commandant of the Garrison, and a large party, assembled at the Butt in the Royal Arsenal, at two o'clock P.M. to-day, to witness the prac tice of the two•gun battery recently erected there, it having stood remarkably well when fired from. Six rounds of 24 pounder shot were fired at 80 yards' distance from a 24 pounder gun, mounted on a field carriage. The first round was directed against the centre of the battery, betwixt the two embra sures, and the solid shot entered the material to the dis. tance of 14 inchf , s displacing the surrounding material to a diaweter of rather more than two feet, and throwing out large rie;...es and thousands of small fragments to a considerable distance to the rear of the gun from which the shot was fired ; or.e of the pieces struck Lifute nant-Colonel English in the arm, cutting the sleeve of his coat, and causing much pain. Another of the frag ments, about the size of a lien's egg, struck ono of the gunners, who was considerably in the rear of the gun, in the thigh, and he appeared to suffer much for some time, but did not leave the ground. The se cond round was dirt cted against the south side of the south embrasure, and made an indentation to the extent of fourteen inches, displacing a space of four feet by three feet on the sur face of the composition. The fragments were nume rous on the second rcund being fired, but the officers and other spectators had gone a greater distance to the rear, and many took shelter in an adjacent building. The gunners also retired to a greater distance, with the ex ception of the gunner who fired, and during the whole of the experiments he did not sustain the least injury. Four other rounds were fired from the 24-pounder gun, making six rounds of that description of shot, which nearly destroyed the whole of the battery, literally lifting up the massive pieces, separating them at the joinings of the composition which had been put together at different meltings, the work having been con structed when the material was in a fluid state. At the conclusion of the experiments with the 24-pounder shot a 9.pounder field•battery gun was brought to bLar upon the other side of the remaining parts of the battery, and the first round at about fifty yards' distance, fired at an angle, displaced a great portion, the fragments appearing as thick as b ail, many of them reaching a distance considerably in rear of the gun. One of the young officers of Engineers received a severe blow in the face from one, and his nose bled profusely. Several other persons were also struck, but not to any serious ex tent. Three rounds were fired from the same posi tion, Lieu the riaguieuts were numerous, but no per son was hurt, as all had retired to better positions. The gun was then brought round to the inside of the battery and two rounds fired from it at about ten yards' distance, the discharge being effected by placing a port-fire on the vent and the gunners all retiring to be out of the chance of danger. The shot of the 9 pounder entered ten inches, and at the campletion of the 12 rounds the battery was a complete ruin. The result of the experiments has shown that the composition is not well adapted for batteries, owing to its brittle nature and great liability to splinter. The violent concussions it stood when fired from affords evidence, however, that it is remarkably well adapted for forming breakwaters or harbours of refuge, as it would resist the greatest shocks that could be given to it by the most powerful waves, although it cannot resist the effect of cannon balls. At the conclusion of the experi ments Captain the Hon. W. E. Fitzrnaurice submitted to the inspection of the commandant and officers present a gun-carriage, on which an 18 pounder gun was mounted on a new principle. The present gun-car riages when required to be moved for firing at angles have to be shifted by gunners with handspikes while the officer or gunner is directing it against the object it is intended to fire at, which prevents that degree of nicety so requisite for good practice. Captain Fitzmau rice's plan renders it easy for the officer himself to rec • tify the aim without any other assistance whatever, all that is requisite being to turn a handle to which a pinion is attached and moving in a row of cogwheel teeth de scribing the fourth part of a circle under the breech of the gun. BOOK SOCIETY FOR DIFFUSING RELIGIOUS KNOW LEDGE AMONG THE POOR.—Last night the 98th annual meeting of the above society was held at Exeter Hail, in order to receive the report, and on general business. Alderman Challis having taken the chair, remarked that it was surprising how little was cared for the poor man at large, struggling to get an honest living for himself and his family ; but once let him commit some crime, and be lodged in a prison, every effort was made to re form and instruct him, and he learnt more in three or four moths that he might be in prison than he learned in the thirty years that he might have been out of it. Now the objects of this society and its publications were to reform and instruct him before he got into prison, and to keep him out of it, which was much better. Mr. Shep herd read the report, which stated that more than 8,000 moral and religious puhl;catioes had been circulated by the society, and many valuable works had been added during the past year to the list of their books. The re port further stated, that as the year 1850 will be the centenary of the society, the committee have come to a resolution to offer a prize of 21/. in that year to the author of the best essay upon some suttject connected with raigion and morals. The receipts for the last year amounted to 594/. Bs. 41:and the expenditure to 594 L 2s. 7d., leaving a balance of ss. 9d.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. beg leave to correct a misstatement that ap peared in the Morning Advertiser of today, respecting what is called the " precipitate retreat" of the audience from the Strand Theatre last evening. I think I may positively assert that not a soul in the front of the house was aware of the fire until reaching the street, I having had the precaution to bring the performances to a sudden conclusion, under pretence of the indisposition of a principal performer, by which means the audience was dispersed quietly, and without the least suspicion of any deception having been practised on .them. I shall feel greatly obliged by the insertion of this letter, as the present statement is likely to do me muck injury. —I have the honour to remain, Sir, &c., New Strand Theatre, May 18. H. FARREN. THE MURDER AT BATH. --- BATH, FRIDAY, MAY 18.—The inquest on the body of Henry Marohant was resumed yesterday morning at ten o'clock, and again occupied the attention of the jury till near the same hour at night. The Guildhall continued densely crowded throughout, and the utmost interest v.as manifested by the public. Mr. George King, surgeon, deposed to having assisted at the post-mortem examination, and expressed his belief that the death Ras caused by poison absorbed into the system._ - Mr. Okely, chief of police, deposed that on the 3d of May he saw Mrs. Shayler in a cell of the station-house. She denied knowing anything of Charlotte Merchant, and said she thought she was taken up because of her going to a chemist's shop. She also said she knew about the arsenic found in her house—it had been bought for a field of wheat at Ball Easton. A written statement by the same prisoner was also produced, in which she said Charlotte Harris had al ways represented herself to her and Harris as a single woman. Mr. Bcavis and his wife were recalled to prove that there were no rats in the house iu Angel-place, and The CORONER havin g summe d up, the jury found— " That the deceased died from poison feloniously admi nistered to him by his wife, Charlotte Harris." The other prisoners were then discharged, and Mrs. Harris committed for the wilful murder. ROYAL OPLITHALMIC HOSPlTAL.—Yesterday the annual dinner of this long-established and valuable cha rity took place at the Albion Tavern, and was attended by upwards of 70 gentlemen. The Lord Mayor presided, and amongst the company present were the Sheriffs of London, Dr. Russell, Dr. Farre, the Rev. S. R. Cattley, the Rev. H. Christmas, Mr. Pilcher, and the Rev. J. Ellis. The toast of the evening, viz., " Prosperity to the Institution," was coupled with the " Health of Dr. Farre," and was proposed by the Lord Mayor in a very effective manner. He said that since the establishment of the charity upwards of 200,000 patients had been relieved by it, and that the sight of 250 patients born blind had been restored through its agency. Dr. Farre, in reply ing to the toast, pointed out that the hospital had edus cated in a thorough knowledge of the diseases which affect the eye 1,496 medical gentlemen, in which number many of the most eminent n ames i n the profeesion were comprised. It had been the parent and model of many similar institutions, not omy in this country b u t a ll over the world. In India and China the wonderful results which these branch institutions had achieved had exer cised the most powerful influence on the minds of the natives, and to a very great extent in consequence medical men in the east were becoming the pioneers of civilization. Dr. Farre concluded by proposing the memory of John Cunningham Saunders, the founder of the charity, whose talents and untimely death he dilated on with affectionate regret. A variety of ether appro priate toasts were proposed and duly responded to before the proceedings terminated. The secretary during the evening announced a list of subscriptions amounting to more than 700/. The dinner and all the arrangements connected with it were excellent, Mr. Toole officiating as toastmaster. • KING'S COLLEGE Hosmar..—Yesterday (Friday) evening an adjourned meeting of the committee of this institution was held at the board-room, Portugal-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields. Sumo routine business having been disposed of, the Secretary announced that the subscriptions and donations on the occasion of the anni versary festival, on :Saturday last, amounted to the handsome total of 2,0984 3s. 6d., including a liberal subscription made by the pupils of King's College School, and forwarded by the Rev. Dr. Major. It was also stated that a large amount had previcusly been sub scribed by the students as well as the pupils, not only of the college itself, but from some of the schools in union with it. LONDON SOCIETY FOR THE PROTECTON OF YOUNG WOMEN.—The annual dinner of this useful society took place on Thursday, at the Albion Tavern, and was pre sided over by Lord Nelson, who, in proposing " Pros perity to the Institution," expressed his belief that it was Utopian to suppose that Acts of Parliament, how ever stringent, could sufficiently protect public morality. By the operations of the society 300 houses of ill-fame had been suppressed in the metropolis, and when the difficulty in obtaining cDnvictions was considered, th• wonder only was that so much bad been done. The total amount of subscriptions announced during the evening was 7601. The dinner, and every arrangement connected with it, were well worthy of the Albron Tavern. Tnursday last, being Ascension Day, the schools of the district parish of St. Mark, Kennington, amount ing to more than a thousand, assembled for Divine wor ship, when a sermon was preached by the Lord Bishop of I.l(reford, who addressed the congregation and chil dren in a most appropriate, impressive, and affectionate manner. The congregation was unusually large, and the collection greater than on any preceding occasion. THE SUPPOSED MURDERER, JOHN GLEESON SON.—This individual, it is known, is in custody at Kirkthile, for having murdered Mrs. Henrichson, of Leveson-street, her two children, and servant maid. Since his cammittal for trial his conduct generally has been peaceable in prison. Last week, however, one of the keepers took him out into the yard to have a walk. As they were walking, the prisoner observed some hammers loft by labourers who had been working in the yard, upon which he made a rush, and seized one of them. The keeper instantly followed, grasped him by the back, and held him fast; but the fellow began to kick, strike, and bite, and was in the act of overpowering the keeper, . um him unti l ance, t her assistance came; and, on being secured, he when tw ho o o th f r th oo e pwriitshonedrisfliccaumuye fortunately g to his assist- furt y w i o lln u ge ld th anto i f eat he extraordinary was then abt h e i e tnhg d e demanded broughtedd at oy h ishs, supply victuals; had lamented oo oh,f m e:rw t p i c otoh h norlede, that hhdiac h avh3o e . sh b r.ei a r d epto n iadi o t ee t tdh a k etehrthem o p en. knife, ophe ns thisa. armenasYontlahvcienl,egdand for three days never tasted food.

NIGHT. —At a meeting of the ircnmasters of South Staffcrdshire, held at Wolverhampton, it has been resolved to reduce the price of iron 203. per ton, and the wages of workmen in proportion. Allhough all descriptions of stock are un precedentedly low, it is said present prices cannot be maintained. No dependence is, apparently, to be placed in the decision of quarterly meetings. His Royal Highness Prince William Henry of the Netherlands is hourly expected to arrive from Holland, apartments having been engaged for his Royal Highness and suite at Mivart's Hotel. WIMBORNE.—DISGRACEFUL ANONYMOUS COMMIT" NICITIONS THROUGH THE POST-OPFICE.—A practice has lately prevailed here of enclosing vermin, rats, mice, &c., with stones, coals, or other materials in parcels, and ad dressing them to various respectable parties in the town. The vermin are bedecked in clothing, and made to re semble as nearly as practicable the human form. The shock occasioned to a lady to whem one of these pack ages was directed, and by whom it was opened, resulted in her premature death! and in a second case communi cated to us, extreme illness was produced. The cowardly actor in the latter instance is known, having been seen by the postmaster actually to ;place the packet in the office.—Poole Herald. Mr. Baillie Barrie, one of the magistrates of Forfar, has committed suicide by drowning himself. He was walking out with his sister when he leaped into the water, and could not be rescued befele life was extinct. Old. WHEAT, per qr. 60Ibs per bushel:— s. S.

NEWBURY, MAY 17.—Our supply of wheat to-day' i 4 Mo derate, yet fully equal to the requirements of the trade, the demand being extremely slack ; and although we note no decline in prices, it has been difficult to meet with customers at late rates. Barley but little in offer, and late rates sup. ported. Beans, oats, and peas short supply, and late rates supported. I:IVERYOOL, MAY 16.—At this day's market there was a fair attendance of the town and country t r ade, and a good demand was experi ence d f or w h ea t an d barrel fl iur, at an ad vance of 1d to 2d per 701bs, and 3d to 6d per barrel. Oats and oatmeal were quite as dear, but a slow sale. Barley, English beans, and peas maintained their value in the few sales made; but Egyptian beans, owing to the heavy supplies, were 6J per quarter:lower, at which reduction some extensive transactions took place. Indian corn was not in so brisk de mand, and 36s per quarter must be quoted as the extreme price of prime yellow. Yellow Indian meal was held for 16s per barrel. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, MAY 18.—The market has been rather inanimate since our last. report, the sales not ex ceeding 350 hhds. and tierces of West Indian, and a few smaLl parcels of Mauritius, at about former rates. In refined there is no alteration.—Bristol Mercury. EXETER, MAY B.—Considering that the fair was held only on Wednesday, there was a good supply of cattle. 0: fat bill. locks there was no very choice specimen, hut prices were well maintained considering the quality, 8s per score being given for same average good beasts, and a higher price for the best which were driven in. Cows and calves sold at .from 8/. to I lt, but there was nothing very good in the market. Th e prime fat bullocks of Mr. Mortimer, mentioned in our retort of the fair, were sold at a late period of the fair at 26/ each, fur Smithfield market. Their weight is said to be 16 score per quarter. Poor stock could not be sold except at low prices, mugh barreners making but 4s per score. Butchers' calves, 31, to 5d per lb. The first lots for the season of the Dorset shire breeding calves were shown to day, about 70, prices were much lower than last year, 15s to 20s per head, as they sold from 35s to 55s each.

Corn Exchange —The attendance was moderate, and English wheat was more difficult to buy, at lest week's prices, and for the best samples the turn has been in favour of the growers, as much as 6s 7id having been given in some instances for warranted English wheat ; the quotations in general for this article being from 6s to the latter figure. Fo reign wheat remains at last week's prices. Belgian white wheat, 601bs to the bushel, 50s per quarter. French ditto, 48s. Red ditto, 445.

The prices ranged from 30/ to 35! for good sorts. In the cattle market the trade was gory languid Atiroughout the prices being so low as not to afford anything like remune ration to the farmer. Good milking cows in calf sold for 6/, a few reached 10/, and some of this description went for Si. DEWED:Iff FAIR, MAY 14.—The fair to-day wore a very dull appearance, and although there appeared about the usual quantity and quality of cattle, they sold very indifferently at reduced figures. For horses also the demand was limited, aed those chiefly disposed of were of the cart kind. Two or three dealers from Staffordshire purchased good strings, chiefly cart horses and strong colts, at low prices. RUTHIN, MAY 14.—The market was very thinly attended to-day, and the transactions were of very little importance, the average prices of ;torn varying little if any from our last week's quotations. Potatoes were in great demand ; and good ones sold briskly at 15s per hobbet. Fresh butter, from 10d to lld per lb. MOLD, MAY 16.—The market to-day was slaek, being so soon after the fair, and not much business done. Wheat, 17s ' • barley, 11 s ; eats, 6s 6d ; and potatoes, I6s per hobbet. ItHYL, MAY 15. This day's market was ruore thinly at tended than last creek's, and the inquiry for wheat was active, which commanded an advance of 3d per I6Sibs. We observe no alteration in the value of barley, beans, peas, and oats. Wheat, 16s 3d per hobbet of 16Slbs. WAKEFIELD CATTLE MARKET, MAY 16.—The number of beasts was 500, and sheep 7,300.
