RHYMING CONCATENATIONS No. 1. ATTIRE. Well may the poet stake his lyre In praise of MOSES' choice attire. MORES' prime dress for son or sire, Is everything that we require. In MOSES' Clothes we may admire, All that a person can desire. In vain does rivalry aspire To raise the summer garments higher, In estimation with the bu er. All competition must retire, Nor ever dare to be a vier. With Messrs. MOSES, near the spire. No 2.—HATS, &c. The famous Hats and Caps displayed At Messrs. MOSES' house of trade, Are really elegantly m Many who near the shop have strayed, Admiring on the spot have stayed, The Hats of MOSES. when surveyed, Cast every other in the shade. Their shape is good, their nap well laid, From top of crown to ed4ing braid, And when you view the prices paid, You'll never feel the least afraid. To lend E. M. and SON your aid. No. 3.—BOOTS AND SHOES. It is a fact which none deny— A tact on which you may rely— That MOSES' Boot and Shoe supply Stands foremost in the public eye. No matter hew you test and try, You'll find these Boots and Shoes defy Whatever you may judge them by. A pair I lately bought, and I, Am very glad I went to buy, For not a fault can I descry ; They suit alike both wet and dry, And raise the Mart of MOSES high. No. 4. HOSIERY, SHAW LS. &c. The Shawl and Hosiery Depot, Whose numbers you will find below, By MOSES is conducted so, That thousands are induced to go. Their Illfral favours to bestow. From what I've prov'd myself I know That, let yen wander to and fro, You'll never meet with such a show, I therefore trust you'll not be slow In buying goods for prices low For much to MOSES do you owe As Instanced at their famed depot.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS. WAK En-ELI), MAY 11 —The arrival of wheat is consider • ably smaller than of late, and to-day the trade assumed a firmer tone ; an advance of Is per quarter is obtained on the finest qualities, whilst on the general descriptions we quote no change.

Barley but little on offer, and late rates supported. Beans, peas, and oats, short supply, and fully support the prices of last week. LIVERPOOI, MAY 11.—At this day's market there was a thin attendance of the town and country trade, and a limited business was done in wheat at about Tuesday's prices. Oats and oatmeal were not much inquired for but an advance of Id per 401bs was demanded for the former article. Barley, beans, and peas moved off slowly at late rates. Barrel flour was in brisk request, and Inwards the close of the market was gene rally held at '23s per barrel. Indian corn met with a slow sale, and a reduction of 6,1 to Is per quarter was submitted to in the sales made. Prime yellow Indian meal could have been bought at 15s 61 per barrel. EXETER, FRlDAY.—Cattle The market was again heavily supplied with all descriptions of stork, rather an unusual oc currence on the market-day immediately preceding a fair. The beet fat beef, in a few instances, was worth 83 6d per score, but a large proportion sold at 7s 6d to Bs, and some of ordi nary quality, at 7s. Cows and calves were a complete drug, and although in one instance 141 was obtained, the best articles generally could be bought at 101 to 121 each, and some were sold under 7/. Very good barreners fetched 5s per score, but articles of inferior quality sold at 4s 6d. Yearlings were offered at 41 to 4/ ss, and two ar.d three year old steers at 6/ to 81 each. The supply of butcher's calves was very large, and sold at 411 to 60 per lb. There was also a large supply of sh ep, the large fat sheep being nearly unsaleable; in one in stance a lot of naked fat wethers and ewes, estimated at 241 b the quarter, was offered for 3-1 s 61, a little more than 4id per lb, but that priu was refused. Wethers in their wool, were worth .54-,1 per lb, and ewes ditto, 4id to sd. Store hogs sold at 214 to 28s each, and couples 32s to 425. Lamb 7d per lb. A moderate supply of store pigs. Pork Carcases—The supply was larger than that of la-t week, by about 20 pigs. Prices were, however, rather higher, in consequence of a considerable portion being bought by Bristol dealers, and must be quoted at 7s to 8s 31 per score. Pannier—Turkeys 5s 61 to Ss each ; ducklings, 4s to 6s per couple; fowls, 33 Gd to 4s 61 ditto; spring chi c k ens , 2s Gd to 4s Giditto ; roasters, 4s Gd to 5s Gd each ; butter, 10,1 per 14 ; eggs, 20 and 22 for Is.

Warranted samples of English wheat must be quoted at 63 to Gi 64 per bushel. Belgium white wheat, 503 per quarter, 601 b to the bushel.

BRIETOL SUGAR MARKET, MAY 11.—A full amount of business has been done in our market this week, and prices may be quoted from 6d and Is per cwt higher.

PETERSBURG'', APltil. 27.—Messrs. Brandt and Co.'s circular states that the weather continues to be very mild, and the ice on the Neva is expected to break up very shortly, but it may be a long time yet before the shipping season opens at Cronstadt. The following transactions took place during the last week in exports : —Tallow—The continued flat advices from England as well as the reports of a large supply this year of nearly or perhaps more than 15'1,000 casks, have affected our prices very much, and obliged our Russian dealers to give way considerably, in consequence of which much business was done this week, and 2,50.1 casks were sold altogether ( per August, at 112 roubles, with all money down for first common Y.

C., and at 115 roubles with handmoney ; but as the most needy sellers have thus provided themselves with money, 1 rouble more is demanded ; however, there is no reason to believe this would be granted ; on the contrary, a further fall of prices is very ►ikely, if the article should not be come firmer again in England. Hemp—Prices of this article have likewise receded materially during the last fortnight. Clean hemp for June and July delivery has been sold at 77 76 roubles, all money down (at 363, 231 18A 10d, 231 13s 2d per ton free on board) 80 roubles with handmoney. Oiitshot we could buy at 74 roubles all money down, at 76 roubles with handmoney. Half-clean we could buy at 67 roubles all money, down at 70 roubles with handmoney. The supplies this year are expected to be ♦ery large, and estimated up to nearly 1,8J0,000 poods. The quality is reported to be inferior to that of the supply of last year. The purchases on contract up to this date amount to about 800,000 poods. MARKET INTELLIGENC E. (From the London New Price Carrent,llay 11.)

The market is firm for Foreign, but there are few buyers, and 27s to 298 per cwt is the value: the supply does not get larger.

For Twankay the market has a dull aspect; at from 4d to 6d per lb.

FIRING AT A RAILWAY TRAIN.—On Thursday two young genii, men, earned Skelton and Eddy, who are said to be must respectably connected, and engaged in mercantile pursuits, were brought before Mr. Davis, the magistr,,te at Leytonstone, charged with the atrocious offence of firing at a railway train. It appeared that when the down train of the Eastern Counties Railway was passing near Forest-lane, on the previous evening, the guard was alarmed by the sound of a pistol-shot,and a concussion, es if some object had passed closely and api&y by him. On lookirg round he perceived two persons elo.o:! by the hedge, one of whom was in the act of re• leading is pistol, which he immediately presented at the train. The guisrd bubbel down before the axpl o . Si"; alter which his saw them again re•loading the pistol. When the train got to Ilford, a telegraphic dis patch was passed t o S tra tford, and the prisoner s w er e take') into custody. The pistol was found upon them and some perc uss i on ca p s , w ith a quantity of powder, but nothing in the shape of bullets or shot. At the instance of Mr. Pelhath, who appeared fur the defence, the pri , soners were admitted to bail, no objection having bean made by the su p er i nten d e nt of thi.s rallsay, who at tellliCti to watch ti o krocccdiow. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. NORTH SCHLESWIG, MAY 7.—The combined forces of Generals Prittwitz and Bonin are now to advance en masse to make a simultaneous attack. It is notorious what the intention is respecting the fortress of Fredericia ; for the present an ample num ber of the Imperial troops form the connecting link between the armies stationed iu Jutland and the Sundewitte. The Dines have nineteen squadrons of cavalrystand ing at Veile, while the Germans have forty. The German artillery also is far more complete than the Danish. Previous to the entry of the Imperial troops into Jutland, General Prittwitz issued a proclama tion, in which he assured the inhabitants of the safety of their persons and property, and designated the occupation of Jutland r.s a measure for compelling Denmark to give an indemnity for the vessels and cargoes which she has seized. The appearance of the Schleswig-Holstein gun boats in the waters of Fohr and Stylt had the immediate effect of making the Danish garri sons and the authorities of both those islands quit their posts. The garrison embarked in their boats on the west side of the island, and made up to the ships of the line. The three Danish magistrates, who fled to an English brig, narrowly escaped being taken by the German gunners. The latter have brought up a vessel laden with provisions, destined for the relief of the Danes. The only places not occupied by the Danes are the Island of Alsen, and a few Schleswig Holstein Baltic islands; and these will doubtless be speedily forced to evacuate. CUXISAVEN, MAY 7.—The English mail steamer, the Princess Royal, reports having seen only two Danish frigates and a small cutter at the mouth of the Elbe. AAMBURGH, MAY 7.—This day seven years ago, ,Ie beautiful church of St. Peter's was reduced to ashes in the great fire at Hamburgh. The edifice which has been'rebuilt on a magnificent scale, nearly entirely by private subAcripticns, was consecrated to day with much solemity, in presence of all the authorities and principal inhabitants.—Hamburgh Papers. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, MAY B.—A short army bulletin has just appeared in an extra evening supplement. It is dated Carlburg, May 4, and says that t he Im p erial army is now so concentrated as to command both the banks of the Danube ; that the llungarians had attempted to effect a transit at Szered, which was repelled, but that they maintained their position opposite to that city with 3,000 men and nine pieces of artillery. The Hungarians had col lected materials for forming a position at Vay Szen daheley. The main of the Hungarian army, of 70,000 men, under Dembenski, is standing at Vaika; and a Hungarian corps of 30,000 men is entrenched at Kapolna ; another corps of 15,000 men is encamped at Debreczin; a corps of 15,000 is standing at Funfkinchen, while 30,000 are at Muhlenbach in Transylvania. General Bern is at this moment with Kossuth, at Debreczin.. The Hungarian ranks are reinforced by thousands. Kossuth has issued a proclamation respecting the entry of the Russians, who he asserts were come, indeed, at the call of the house of Hapsburg, but they came to fight for the Hungarians. It was known at Pesth that the further progress of the Russians had been countermanded, and this was at tributed to the desire of the Court of Olmutz to make one more attempt at a negotiation with the Magyars. The arrival of Privy Councillor Von Althon seemed to give some colour to the idea that he was come to negotiate with the Hungarians. The Imperial troops are certainly in bad case since the last engagement; they are standing at Weiselberg, Bruck, and a part of Sumereln. General %Velden has been wounded in the head. In the camp itself the men are suffering dysentery, fever, want of provisions, and want of clothing.—llamburgh Papers, May 8. Toe Sershe Nowine, a Servian paper, which is published at Belgrad, publishes a remonstrance of the Ban of Croatia, containing a long list of the grievances and claims of the Croation nation. The tone of that docu ment is a sufficient explanation of the lukewarmness which Baron Jellachivh has of late shown in the war against Hungary, and of the real cause of his sudden* retreat to his own country. The document proves that the Ban of Croatia refuses to uphold the present Cabinet policy of Austria. MINING INTELLIGENCE COFFER ORES SOLD AT REDRUTII, MAY 10.—Total, 2,5q4 tons.

BUTCRINSON. This was an action of indebitatus assumpsit, on an alleged contract, by which the defendant was to pay 3001. to the plaintiff, for certain improvements effected in a gai-meter,' of which the defendant was patentee. Mr. Sergeant Byles and Mr. Hawkins appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Wis© fur the defendant. The defendant, it appeared, was the assignee of a patent in an improvement in gas•meters, called the-yri- ti,ll patent dry gas meter, which, in 1845, he sold for 3,000/. to a company, which was afterwards incorporated t u h n e d he British Joint-stock hatid o Foreign gn Gas Companies meterA Act, under the Company.The styl eof de fendant was appointed the engineer of the company, and also became a shareholder. Before the c'mplete registration of the company, the defendant informed the Board of the provisional committee that the plaintiff could effect some improvements in the meters, and upon the defendant's recommendation, the plaintiff was employed, on the terms that he was to re ceive 3/. per week and a commission upon the sales of the meters. This arrangement continued till the pro ject failed, and then the plaintiff made the present de mand for his services and commission. For the defence it was contended that under the 25th section of the Joint-Stock Companies Act, the contract was made with the company, and not personally with the defend an t, who had only acted as the agent of the company in the transaction. • The Learned JUDGE left it to the jury to say whether the plaintiff had proved a contract between him and the defendant individually, or between him and the company of which the defendant was a member. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 230 L, and that the contract waa made with the defendant inuividually. LOVELL V. EARTY. In this case Mr. Sergeant Wallinger and Mr. Locke appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Prentice for the de fendant. The action was in trespass, for false imprisonment and charging the plaintiff with larceny before a magistrate; to which the defendant pleaded a justiEcation, that the plaintiff stole his dog, and that he gave him into custo dy and made the charge alleged in the declaration in co ns quence. It appeared that the plaintiff was the toll-house keeper at the Manor-house toll-gate, at the Seven-sisters road, Holloway. The defendant was a person of re spectability, residing at Park-cottage, Tollington- park, Hornsey-road. On Saturdiy, the 3d of February last, the defendant's dog—a large black Newfoundland dog— followed the patrol on duty there, and the policeman, thinking it belonged to some one living in the neigh bourhood, and that it would soon be owned, left it in the care of the plaintiff at the toll-gate. The plaintiff locked the dog up in his yard. The defendant soon afterwards hearing that the dog was there, early on Sunday morning took a policeman with him to the plaintiff's house, and On caking for the dog, it was shown to him, and he then gave the plaintiff into the custody of the policeman on a charge of stealing the dog. The plaintiff told the de fendant that the dog had been given into his charge by one of the M division of police until it was owned, but the defendant persisted in giving him in charge. He was then taken to the Clerkenwell station-house, and given in charge for having the defendant's dog unlaw fully in his possession. Oa Sunday night, the 4th of February, he was bailed out. The case was heard the following day before the magistrates of Clerkenwell police-court, and the charge was dismissed. In conse quence the plaintiff lost a week's employment, besides the annoyance he had been subjected to. This was the plaintiff's case. For the defence it was con•ended that the defendant's son having been refused permission to take the dog away, the defendant was justified in the step which he took, and that any damage the plaintiff might'have sus tained would have been amply satisfied by proceeding in the County Court. The Jury fJund a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 251. CENTRAL ChIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Baron ALDERSON and Mr. Justice COLTMAN.) Mr. PARRY made an upplipetion to postpone the trial of Martin Hansel!, f,ir felony and misdemeanor, in en deavouring to extort money from a gentleman named Bevan, by the threat of publishing some letters of a libt lions character in the Satirist newspaper, until next session. The application was founded upon the affidavits of two medical gentlemen, which stated that the de fendant was suffcring to such an extent from pulmonary consumption, that it would not only endanger his life if he took his ITN, hut even if be should leave his room to. plead to the indictment. Mr. BALLANTINE, who appeared for the prosecution, said he did not ti.el that he ought t..) offer any opposition .to the application. Tile trial was accordingly ordered to stand over. ' Mr. BALLANTINE theft applied to the court to order the recogrCziliet'S of the bail for a person named Sarah Mills, who was included in the >amEo indictment with Hansel!, to be'estrcatcd. She had been called upon her tecog nizatices, and had nit appeared, and he was instructed that she was at Boulogne, and out of the jurisdiction of the court. Baron ALDERSON said that as the defendant did not appezir, the tecognizances of the bail would, as a matter of course, be estreatcd. One of the bail addressed the Court, and begged that the rtcognizances might not be estreated. He assured the Court be had done all that laid in his power to pro cure the attendance of the defendant. Baron ALDERSON said they had no power to assist him. If p.‘pple became bail for others they did so at tleir own peril; and if they failed in performing the conditions they entered into they must take the conse- quences. The gentleman said he believed he should be able to pror'uce the defendant at the next session. Baron ALDERSON said that all he could do was to di rect that the estreat should not be returned to the Court of Exchequer until the next session, and if the defendant was produced at that time the estreat would probably nut by , enforced. George Ricers, aged 33, was indicted for feloniously cutting and wounding Sarah Rivers, with intent to maim and disable her, or to do her grievous bodily harm. It, appeared that the prisoner inflicted not less than twelve wounds on the neck and breast of his wife. The facts of the case have already appeared in our police report. The jury . . found the prisoner guilty, and the judge sentenced him to ton years' transportation. IV E W COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) Upon his Lordship taking his seat, Timoleon Vlasto, the young Greek, who pleaded guilty on Wednesday to stealing an immense number of coins, the property of the trustees of the British Museum, and also Colonel Richard Fox, amounting in value to above 1,000/., was brought up to receive sentence. The prisoner was sentenced to be transported for seven years. Mary Ann Rollings, a smartly attired young woman, 30 years of age, surrendered to take her trial on a charge of bigamy. In the year 1835 the prisoner, who was then 15 years of age, married a fisherman, named Richard Rollings, at the parish church of St. Margaret's King's Lynn, Nor folk, with whom she only lived three days. She sub sequently came to London, and went into service, where she met Joseph Jupwell, with whom she cohabited for some time, and, in 1848, married him at Westminster, her husband being then and now alive. The jury found her Guilty. The Court sentenced her to three months' imprison ment, without hard labour. THIRD COURT. (Before Mr. BULLOCK.)' James Williams, a broker's porta, and John Lester, an itinerant juggler, well known about the streets of Lon don, were indicted for a highway robbery on the person of Charles Belson, and stealing from him a half-crown and 7s. 6d. in silver, After hearing the case, The jury found them Guilty. Mr. BuLLocit said it was a bad case, and sentenced them to seven years' transportation. Shortly after their conviction Mr. Payne came into Court, and addressing Mr. Bullock, said he had come into that Court to make an applica tion to postponsjtn, e o he trial of the prisoner Williams until the nextsesappii. having been waiting in the Old Court to ma ke effect, a nd was an cation to Mr. Baron Alde rson to t hatb b e en dragged out n ow much surprised to find t he case ad an d transported without his being atwar avoid _ w hat had o ut of that Court into this one. The preisoofnethrseafarect.tried Mr. Bur.Loca said he could no The pd.. oc curred, all he t h h a a d t gwoetrietohdrooowgahst tobesfoitrethheirme and try all t h e prisoners . soner s had been aske d whether they had any counsel, and had answer ed in the negat i ve. ir. PAYNE said that it wvs impossible for prisoners placed in the p..sition these men ha d be e n to know whether they were detendtd or not, and he now applied to have the judgment respited. Mr. BULLOCK said they could not try the men over again, but he would attend to the Learned Counsel's a pplication. Mr. PAYNE had instruction given him in th e case of Wildame, that, he had no doubt, would have en sured an acquittal, since, to a great extunt, it was a ques ttioonshoofwehtahraatchtetsr caintrdnitdh,:maatit3o..olyllcemnwoeuloduthaoNf•epboesesensasiboloe of a house on Wednesday, and had much money en trused to him, besides a number of witnesses to his cha.- racier ; and he had no doubt but when his Lordship heard thete, although he could not recall the verdict, he would make such an alteration in the sentence that it would be merely nominal. EMILY SANDEJIID.—It appears, trom a letter which the Bishop of Norwich bus written to Mr. S. W. Bur gess, of Roston, n gentleman who has taken much interest in the future welfare of this unfortunate young woman, that it is the intention of the porde& who have subscribed for her benefit to send het7,Apider the pro tection of au cider brother, to 040 at- the West lu cglQUiegl.

A letter from Elberfeld of the Bth instant, in the Dusseldwf Zeitung, states that riots of a very elious nature took place in that city on the 7th and Bth. Elberfeld was the meeting place of the Land wthr from the manufacturing districts of Rhenish Pt ussia, when that form fable body of militia consulted about the steps to be taken, anti, resolving to obey the dictates of the Frankfort Cabinet, refused to a-semble and listen to the commands of the Prus sian Ministers, Brandenburg and Manteuffel. Large bodies of troops of the line were consequently sent to Elberfeld to reduce the Landwehr, but it appears these troops used very little speed, be cause they had not arrived there on the evening of the 7th. In consequence of some misunderstanding between the Landwehr and the municipal authorities, the former captured the Mayor of Elberfeld, M. Von Carnap, who, however, succeeded in making his escape after a short confinement. The furious crowd then proceeded to demolish the Casino. The night passed amidst the greatest excitement, and when the post left, on the morning of the Bth, the various companies of the Landwehr, fully armed and organized, had taken up their position near the railroad terminus to repel any advance of the troops that might come by railway. POST OFFICE NOTICE.—The following notice has been issued by the Post-cffice authorities.—On and after the 15th instant the postage on letters addressed to the following places, viz.—Constantinople, Scutari (Asia), Seres, and Salonica. in Turkey; Bucharest and lbraila, in Wallachia; Galatz, Jassy, and Butusebany, in Moldavia —and sent through Prussia via Belgium, Holland, or Hamburgk, may be wholly prepaid to des tination, or the letters may be sent unpaid, at the option of the sender.
