CATTLE SHOW. This annual display is one of the sights for which London i 8 cele brated. The productions of the country and the wonders of the world centre in the metropolis. Science, art, manufactures, and agriculture are represented in the City—there their best samples are shown and sold. • The visitors to the Cattle Show never omit their visits to the establishments of E. Moses and SoN, and their West-end Branch has an overwhelming share of patronage. E. MOSES and SON have the greatest pleasure in submitting their establishments and their manufactures to the inspection of all visitors, and feel themselves honoured by a careful observation of thei r and commercial a rra ngements, well awar e that their b usiness needs only to be un derstood to Ye appreci ated, and fully convince d that the prize pro ductions of all countries are incorporated with their own menu- Lista, r 3. It Is as impossible' to particularise the variety of styles, excel lences, and points of superiority in their manufacture, as it isbword to convey an adequate impression of the cheapness of their goods. It is only necessary t o remark that E. Moses and Sox are tusheoutlirst. in mew inventions for a ttire, the most punctual in their transactions, and the mo st successful in securing to their patrons and s the public the best articles at the most reasonable charges. E. Moses and Sole have added to their Oxford-street Breach a Hosiery Department, elaborately furnished with articles of the most elant manufacture, and of the most useful kind. There the same conventences and advantages are afforded as are given at their City Establishmeet, and those uniform plans of business are pursued which have given such universal satisfaction. At E. Moses and SON'S City Establishment a Wholesale Depart ment of ualimited extent is kept, where every person may make the safest and most profitable investment either for the home or export trade. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, halals: learned that the nntradesman-like falsehood of "Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's obvious concern," has been resorted to in many reasons, they beg to state that they have instances, and for No CorrEitoN WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OH OUT OP LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155. 156, and 157, Minories, 84, fa, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, ail communicating.

Its perusal is other class of disease known to modern pathologius err t doubts of particularly recommended to persons entertaining s- -- e h az arded their physical condition, and who are conscious el . having ~,, is the health, happiness, an d privileges to which every human being entitled. It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bittekoess may be removed, end how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and above all, that there is scareely any de-me of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

CANROBERT The Government has received two reports frora Gen. Canrobert and Admiral Hamelin. The first reveals to us once more how much courage and constancy there are in our army; and the second relates all the services which the navy has again rendered to the army, of which it shares the fatigues and aids the labours. With such soldiers and leaders, the success of our great enter prise in the Crimea does not admit of 'doubt. What matter is it whether the town, or rather the ruins, of Sebastopol fall a little sooner or a little later ? It is merely a question of time. We must congratulate our generals on having had the courage not to preci pitate anything. We say the courage, for when one is at the head of an army full of ardour, more force of mind is required to resist the impatience and enthu siasm of one's troops than to fight against the enemy. The siege of Sebastopol was net an ordinary one ; it was a bona fide campaign at the same time as an at tack on a fortified place. As the town was not com pletely surrounded, and could . communicate outside with the army of Prince Menschikoff, it was neces sary to take into account not only the walls, which were sure to be battered down within a certain time, but also a whole army which has annoyed the besiegers, and forced them to fight desperate battles and gain impel.; tant victories. However, looking at what has been done in the Crimea, it is easy to see that we have no need to complain of the results obtained. Our army has always exhibited a decided superiority : it has become grand in the struggle, and, as General Canrobert says, his youngest soldiers are at present old troopers, able to contend against any modern armies. It may be hoped that our soldiers will net have to suffer too much until such time as our generals cpnceive they can give the decisive assault. But even should it be necessary to winter under the walls of Sebastopol, the situation would not be either perilous or compromising for the sanitary state of the army. The camp is now protected from any attack from the Russians. From Sebastopol to Bala klava, it is fortified as strongly as a town could be, and it is known by the events at Silistria that the Russians are not very skilful in becoming masters of a fortified place. For every sound-thinking mae, the capture of Sebastopol, whatever terrible feats of arms it may produce, is no longer anything but an incident of the struggle engaged in against Russia. That contest has now become much greater by the accession of all Europe, either directly or indirectly, to the policy of the Western powers. The alliance cemented by the treaty of De- . comber 2 with Austria, and the bond which con nects the German states to the Austrian policy by the last convention concluded between the courts of Vienna and of Berlin, transport to the centre of Europe the solution of the question of which the expedition to the Crimea is only one part. It is there that the dispute e xists in all its far ce. There will be decided the ques tion of knowing whether Russia will agree to the con ditions which Europe insists on, or whether she will re solve on a war against all the modern powers. In it t h r the peace will be re-established ;in the second, must defend himself, but on the frontiers of Austria, Czar acnayselonger under the walls of Sebastopol that the to European nations to attack him." finnroßsttessarabia, or any where that it will appear useful MR.

Although, in my opinion, the enduring greatness of this country is in volvci in the maintenance of Protestant principles, I am far from believing that such a policy is dependent upon penal legislation. What we want is, that the principles and practice of the constitution should be placed more in harmonY, and that there should be an end to that am biguous language and equivocal conduct which have existed of late years on the part of the Government, which appear to have done much mischief and no good ; which have ev ited instead of allaying religious animosity ; and which have terminated in producing anarchy in the Church and feebleness in the State.—l beg leave to re l main, sir, your faithful servant, " B.

FRONTIER OF PERSIA AND TURKEY. • TAI3REEZ, SEPT., 25.—A. detention here of a few days longer than I expected enables me to report the occur rence of one of those terrible phenomena which now almost periodi ca lly sprea d ru i n an d d eath throughout ts f i n ce fearful destructiveness ep d yt e te s av t lo ue i fil ; v ya manye ns n du e l s rpe s rroepde rfrtyo from to ; which ab vu t et h ri i yt s Persia—an earthquake. H a ppily thi s one h as no t eq ity and ualled has, a l nevertheless, rnvi considerable extent, anda few days may bring in news cf its terrific effects beyond what has yet been ascertained. Shortly after midnight of the 22d I was awoke by a rumbling noise, such as some sleeper on a first floor in Cheapside might hear during the passage of a dozen heavily-laden waggons, and within less than half a minute after—quickly as thunder follows lightning—came a fearful shock, which, lasting for some 15 or 20 seconds, brought down great flaps of plaster from the roof, toge ther with portions of the mud wall of the room, and justified the conviction that the house itself was tumbling about my ears. Before I could find the door a second shock, less severe than the former, took place, and hardly had I gained the small garden attached to the house when this was followed by a third. Speedy as had been my movements, I found my host's family all clustered in the centre of the garden when I reached it —none of them burthened with surperfluons clothieg, and the women shrieking forth 'their terror in every key the feminine " organ " possessed. Nearly three quarters or an hour, however, having passed without a recurrence of the cause of their alarm, this pleasant addition to the other features of the situation subsided, and dread of possible danger yielded in some degree to the increasing intense feeling of cold—which be came sharper as dawn approached. Coverlids and beds were brought out, tea was made and being drunk, when whurr ! ! came shock the fourth, play ing havoc amongst the china, and renewing the rivalry of female lungs. Between that time and sunrise two other shocks occurred, but less severe than any of the four which had preceded. I was struck by the fact that, several seconds before each shock, the dogs—only lees numerous than in Constantinople —broke out into a long warning howl, which they kept up long after the cause of their fear had gone by, apparently as sensible of the passing danger as any of the biped inha bitants of the town. Much on the same principle these last, soon ofter the first shock, were summoned to avert ing prayer from the roof of every mosque in Tabreez ; but, if one might judge from the shrill confusion which everywhere prevailed, these pious admonitions received but slight obedience. Such a " concert of harsh sounds" it has seldom been my fate to listen to. Soon after daylight the extent of the damage done to life and property became generally known, and I then ascertained that nearly a sixth part of the town had been laid in ruins, burying in all some fifteen men, women, and children, besides many times that number who escaped with broken limbs. But for the low ness of the houses—generally only one storey in. height—this list of casualties must have been much greater ; as it is, the loss, compared with that of pre vious visitations, is considered trifling ; and being "used to" such phenomena, the Tabreezees hold themselves fortunate in having escaped so well. News has been brought in this afternoon that nearly the halt of Khoi— from the direction of which the shocks came—has been destroyed, and that several of the villages in tie plain between this and that have shared a similar fate. Whether they extended to Teheran or not there has not yet been time to learn. It may be in the recollec tion of some of your readers that about this time last year Shiraz was nearly levelled to the ground by a similar but more severe situation, which, besides the destruction of more than three-fourths of the town, buried more than 10,000 human beings in the ruins. Some eighty years ago Tabreez itself suffered to a simi larly fearful extent, and many a ruined mosque and, other public building bears testimony oven now to the calamitous effects of so terrible a scourge. I regret now having to report as a fail aceompli what was mentioned in my last letter, of the 14th, as a pro bable occurrence—the advance of the Russians towards Van, and the consequent stoppage of that only remaining road to Erzeroum. This fact was publicly notified here yesterday by the Russian consul, and is consequently authentic. From the information which this gentleman has officially received from Baron Wrangel, the com mander, it appears that having received reinforcements from Erivan, they have left a small garrison in Bayazid, and marched upon Berghule (close by that of Ercheck, mentioned in my last), where Selim Pacha has been "lying on his oars" with some 3,500 men, in expectation of reinforcements from Mehemet Paoha, of Van. Van is not of sufficient strategic import ance to be at present worth the loss of time which would he necessary to reduce its garrison ; and Ge neral Wrangel's plan, therefore, evidently is to march upon the larger town, occupy it (as might be done in half-a-dozen hours), and then take the Kars army in the rear, whilst Baibutoff hems it in on the front. This, as I explained in a former letter, was the design to pre vent the execution of which Zarif Pacha gave battle to Kurackdere. What the Russian general then aimed at he will now be able to accomplish, and it is not too much to predict that before winter yet sets in the army of Anatolia runs a strong chance of surrendering without a blow. To secure this bloodless triumph, it will be suffi cient to cut off provisions (of which there is never more than a four days' store in Kars) and oppose a strong force in front. If this be done promptly—as promptly it will be, if at all—the crowning proof will be given to all I have hitherto said as to the suicidal policy of the Porte in its management of this army. Had General Guyon been installed in the command six months ago the siatus quo would be widely different from what it is, but jealousy on the part of the Turks, and inexplicable non-interference on the part of Lord Stratford, have prevented this. Soon after the taking of Bayazid, large and respectable deputations of the Armenian population of Van and Musch and the neigh bouring districts—by far the majority of the whole— waited on Baron Wrangel (I have this from one who saw his despatch to the Russian Consul here), and in vited them to occupy their parts of the country, assum ing, at the same time that the Christians are pro-Russian to a man, and would receive his troops with open arms. The reduction of a people, therefore, whose majority is so minded, will be no difficult matter, and when spring comes round the Allies, with whom the battle must then lie, may find their recovery more desirable than ea sy, All this, however, both Lord Stratford and the Porte were well informed of many months ago ; coming events may show that the policy which afforded to despise such intimations was neither far-sighted nor wise.

The Revising Barrister for East Surrey (Sir W. B. Riddell) refused to allow the claims of seventeen allottees because the lands in respect of which they claimed were not actually let, although abundant evidence of the value of the same as building land was presented. On appeal to the Court of Common Pleas the barrister's decision was unanimously reversed. "It is a singular fact," observed the report, "that although the statute was passed 425 years since, this is the first authoritative de cision upon its real meaning." The nohle CHAIRMAN having addressed the meeting at leugth in explanation of the report, the same was unanimously received and adopted. The retiring directors, Viscount Ranelagh, Sir C. W.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—Dec. 14. EQUITY COURTS. BENNETT Y. THE DUKE OF MANCHESTEE. In this case it will be remembered that the bill was filed on behalf of certain infant children of Lord and Lady Ossulston, seeking to impeach a will made by the late Duchess of Manchester, and upon an issue directed by the Vice-Chancellor a verdict had been found in favour of the will ; after which a new trial was di rected. Upon this trial coming on terms of compromise were proposed, and the record was withdrawn. The case now came before' the court for the purpose of having that compromise carried out under the sanction of the court. The Selicitor-General, Mr. Selwyn, with him, ap peared for the plaintiff, and stated the terms of the compromise, which were in effect that the will of the duchess was to stand, and the duke was to carry into effect what it was admitted were the ducliess's wishes with regard to the property. The duke and Lord Man deville were to make up the portion of Lady Ossulston to 20,0001. The bill was to be amended by withdraw ing all the offensive paragraphs reflecting upon the con duct of the duke, and all parties to pay their own costs. Mr. Rolt said the arrangement had been proposed by Lord Mandeville, and acquiesced in by all parties who had any interest in the matter. All the court had to do was to say that it was for the benefit of the infant plain tiffs that it should be carried out. Mr. Lee said he appeared for Lord Fred. Montague, who was absent abroad and could nit be communicated with. He had no reason to doubt that 118 would acquiesce in the arrangement, but he thought the court ought to see that some provision was trade for him, or else that the order should not prejudice any right he might have. Mr. Gitfard, Mr. Cairns, and Mr. Karslake, appeared for other parties. The Vice-Chancellor said he bad not the least diffi culty in saying that the arrangement was beneficial ; and therefore, after setting out the terms of the compro mise, there would be a declaration that the court being of opinion that such compromise was beneficial, all fur ther proceedings in the suit should be stayed, and the matter adjourned into chambers, to carry out the ne cessary arrangements. Of course a pla intiff could always dismiss his own bill before decree, but if any party ob jected it must be on payment of that party's costs. Lord Frederick Montague was not here to consent, and therefore his costs must be paid. All he could say was that it was a most happy result that all parties should thus agree to put an such as to a painfulresu discussion a am ong members of a family , must lt in ease like the present, and he would only add " beati pacifici." According to the telegraphic accountg from China, w hich reach to the 25th of October, there had been no ma terial alteration in the rate of Exchange at Canton, although the tendency was towards a reaotion. By the previous mail the quotation was 48. 9,1>d., and it is now about 4s. 9d. Not a single package of tea has arrived since the last date, and there had been no sales. The in surrection appeared to be unchecked, and it is asserted that at a locality about two days' journey from Canton the rebels had taken possession of 18 chops of congous, and, having destroyed six of them, had decamped with the remainder. Under these circumstances no now arrivals were oxpocted, THE REINFORCEMENTS.
