MOSES and SON'S EST...iDLISHMENTS will be CLOSED at EIGHT O'CLOCK EVERY EVENING, except Saturday, when they will be open till 11 o'clock. CATTLI4 SHOW. This annual display is one of the sights for which London is cele brated. The pr ductions of the country and the wonders of the world centre in the metropolis. Science, art, manufactures, and agriculture are represented its 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 everwhelming share of pa t r onage. E. Mom and Sox 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 their stock and commercial arrangements, well aware that their business needs only to be un derstood to be appreciated, and fully convinced that the prize pro ductions of all countries are incorporated with their own manu facture. It Is as impossible' to particularise the variety of styles, excel lences, and points of superiority in their manufacture, as it is by words to convey an adequate impression of the cheapness of their goods. It is only necessary to remark that E. MOSES and Sox are the first to sew inventions for attire, the most punctual in their business transactions, and the most successful in securing to their patrons and the public the best articles at the mo , t reasonable charges. E. Moses and Sow have added to their Oxford -street Branch a Hosiery Depsrtmenr, elaborately f trnished with articles of the reost elegant manufacture, and of the most useful kind. There the same conveniences and advantages are afforded as are given at their City Establishment, 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 rnent of unlimited 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, having learned that the untradesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OP LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows London City Establishment, 154, 155. 156, and 157, Minories, 84, 45, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church. all communicating.

All goods are marked in plain figures, the lowest price, from which no abatement can be made.

In the midst of the formidable elements which shake Europe to her foundation and move so pro foundly public opinion, the attention of statesmen and of thinkers is anxiously directed towards Aus tria, that mysterious power whose resolutions have remained so long impenetrable. At last behold a treaty is signed. Great delight at the Bourse. " Austria has decided on siding with the West," say some ; "No, no," say others ; " this treaty is subjected to such conditions that it will not be of any bona fide effect." What, then, is the explana tion of the enigma ? We certainly cannot define it. We live at a period when there is nothing to gain by playing the prophet, even when it is done in one's own country. And so we will wait pa tiently for the clauses to be known. We only wish to demonstrate here, by the simple statement of some facts not much inquired into amongst us, that the irresistible power of ideas and of modern principles draws Austria more and more within the orbit of civilisation and progress. Not that we consider the Government of Austria as having liberal tendencies, but we think that the move ment of men's minds in Germany will force it to draw nearer to us ; we think that the real inte revile of Austria and of all Germany will bring them towards us, and will withdraw them from Rus sia. Our opinion will be shared by all those per sons who will closely examine the immense movement of revolution which is taking place in Austria, since 1848, a movement commenced by the people, and of which the Government has been forced to assume the direction. Thus all Germany, and in particular Austria, has abo lished the feudal system. She has done, under the influence of our revolution of February, what we effected in France in 1789, with this difference that we, in abolishing the feudal rights, showed that impetuosity which characterises the French organisation, whilst Germany attained the same end with the methodical calm which characterises the German tempera men t. H ow f ew persons in France imagine that the Austrian Government, so cold and cautiou s , h as b een l e d b y the sole power of an idea, to occupy itself for five or six years with the most liberal task that a nation can undertake, that of its internal emancipation, and that the Austrian monarchy has b een forced to devote to that work its most precious resources? The most marked glorification that has been given for sixty years to the principles of 1789 has emanated from Austria, and, in truth, that fact is a marvellous snbject for reflection. The Grand Army, under the Bonapartes, Hocnes' Xarceaux, Neys, Murats, and Lannes , marked their way through Europe, and left there the seeds of revolution. The flag of emancipated Franco made the tour of the world. The Emperor, notwithstanding all his genius, mistook the range and object of his mission, he sowed the seed, and thought he could at once reap the harvest ; he thought he was forming a serious alliance with Austria because he married an archduchess. The most obscure citizen was aware • that it is impos sible to combine contrary elements, such as fire and water, for instance. The all-powerful Empe ror, the profound thinker who astonished the In stitute and the Council of State by the lucidity of his views, never suspected that it was impossible to contract a bona fide alliance between a country which had freed itself from feudal rights and pri vileges, and a GOuntry which still was subject to them. And what was the consequence ? This, that Austria, went where her traditions led her. The Cabinet of Vi enna betrayed without the s li g ht es t scruple the modern Caesar and the daughter of the old Caesar. Napoleon succumbed. From 1815 to 1848 Germany- was watched over by her kings, princes, grand-dukes, and mar graves, as Bartholo watched over Rosins.. France was placed under ban, the German poets sang the Rhine, and defied us to take it again. DuriDg that time the corn ,t`G ~~~ ~u-r =--~ ~- -, %(vas becoming ripe, and when 184 8 arrived the - harvest was ready, and from one en d of Germany to the other the people itself abolii died the feudal system, whilst the burgesses of Vienna, Berlin, and Frankfort, were endeavouring to deliver parlia mentary speeches. We often ask ourselves how it is that this revolutionary movement of Germany in 1 848 hrts not as yet hadits:hiStorian. in France. It was the German people themselves who suppressed the feudal rights with such a spontaneity and unani mity that the governments were obliged to sanction the act of th people and to regularise it. Thus, the Austrian Government was far from imagining that this great revolution was a fait accomiiii, when deputations arrived from all the provinces to thank • the Government of the Emperor for having abo 'fished rights which the day before be had no idea of suppressing. It may be said that from that moment Anstria has. really become a Western Power, that the motives of pclitical and social or ' ganisation which from 1789 to. 1815 prevented an alliance with France ought to prevent her at pre sent from allying herself with Russia. The homo geneousness whits united her to the Cabinet of St. Petersburg disappeared at the same time as the affinities which bring her closer to the West becamia apparent. It is Austria now who in the order of providential destinies -- hasr the -mission to inoculate the Russian people with the liberal virus which we infiltrated into her veins by,our armies, book% and journals. Thus, the doubt which existed in conse quence of the terrible prophecy of the martyr of S. Helena will disappear. Europe will not be co;ssack.:" NAVAL AHD MILITARY INTELLIGBNCE. Yesterday a number of able seamen were entered for her Majesty's ship Monarch, 84, Captain Erskine, now at Devenport, to operate against the Russian settle ments in the Pacific. The Gorgon, 6, paddle sloop, Commander Crawford, will be hauled ant of the steam begirt at Portsmouth this day, refitted. The new steamship Clyde, Captain I4enderson, from Greenock, bound t• Portsmouth to emlbark troops for the Crimea, put into Cowes yesterday evening, having burst her boilers on Sunday evening during the passage. This accident was attended with a fearful casualty, two men having been killed, and eight others wounded m ore or less seriously. The officers of the Tiger, lost on the coast of the Crimea, have returned to England, aid. have obtained one "nsenth's leave of absence, at the expiration of which they will proceed to Portsmouth, where they will be tried by court-martial, as the necessary witnesses will by that time have arrived in this country from the Black Sea. A number of carpenters are now being hired by G o . vernment to proceed to the Crimea to assist in the erec tion of the wooden huts for the army. They receive 21. 6s. per week and rations. PROMOTIONS. Commander Richard A. Oliver (1844), recently serv ing in the Monarch, 84, when on the Baltic Station, is promoted to be Captain. Commander Geo. Parker (1849), serving in command of the Barracouta, paddle-wheel steam-sloop, on the East Indies Station, to be Captain. RETURN OF THE BALTIC FLEET. Two more screw•ships of the line have arrived from the Baltic. St. Jean d'Acre, 101, screw, Captain the Hon. Henry Keppel, arrived at Devonport yesterday morning, with the flag of Rear-Admiral Seymour. James Watt, 91, screw, Capt. George Elliot, arrived yesterday morning at Spithead, 14 days from the Baltic. She met witk had weather, and put back to a Norwe gian port. Captain Elliot landed to report himself to the Commander-in• Chief, and awaits orders from the Admiralty. Sir Charles Napier, the Commander-in-Chief, in his flag-ship the Duke of Wellington, left Ktel Harbour on the sth inst., for England. ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY'S SHIP HIMALAYA AT MALTA. MALTA, Dec. 2.-13 y the arrival here on the 30th, from the East, of her Majesty's steam-ship Himalaya, news has reached from Constantinople to the 25th, on which day, in the evening, in company of the Cambria, she left. The Cambria was ordered by Admiral Boxer to attend the Himalaya in case she met with lead wea ther, when, in consequence of her shaft working loose in the outer bearing, it was not .considered•safe to work her uuder steam, except in smootit, water. Upon her being thoroughly examined, and probably tried here, when some sea Is on, it will be decided whether she can be prudently sent to England, where a new shaft and fan are ready for her, during the present uncertain season of the year. It is much to be regretted that though due notice of her increasing defects has from time to time been given to the proper authorities in the- Bosphorus and Black Sea, by her commander and chief engineer, her services could not be dispensed with at a time when she could have gone with safety to Southampton, and been put, in a short time, into an efficient state of repair, and in consequence of her continuing to perform her several voyages, the defect has at length obliged her to come here, and probably to proceed to England. • From the time the Himalaya vr,as first engaged in the conveyance of troops (February,) abe Las run a distance of 22,000 miles to the present ti, me, and carried from Ergla.nd to Malta and the Crimea SS - 57 officers and men, and 1684 horses, with a loss of 4 or. ly, 2 from diseased lungs, and 2 that were shot, a morked tendency to glanders having rendered such a measure imperative ; so that, although the temporary lose to the Govern ment of her services is much to he regretted at the present time, her past performances are a sufficient gua ' rantee of what she will be enabled again to accomplish, when supplied with her new shaft. Captain Kellock has been compelled to resign the command, his health haviing given way in the Black Sea, before the harassing and anxious duties that he so successfully and satisfactorily accomplished. He is succeeded by Captain Russell, one of the most experienced commanders• in the Mediter ca ncan and the Black Sea, of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, selected by the directors, in accordance with the request of the Lords of the Admiralty, that they would appoint another officer to fill the important port ; she arrived here under the command -of Captain Russell. Several sick and wounded officers have arrived by the Himalaya. The Himalaya spoke No. 22 transport off Tenedois ; the True Briton in the Dero passage ; and a Cunard steaver full of troops, 90 miles east of Malta. She eat countored a heavy gale from the west, with a heavy iv's running between Cape Matapan and Malta. Captain ICellock will proceed through France to Eng land. The Alipore arrived on the 30th. She had on board draughts of the 3d, 14th, and 62d Regiments. 3d, Capt. Hood, Assistant-Surgeon D. Wyer, 61 rank and file ; 14th, Ensign Graham, and 54 rank and file ; 62d, Lieu tenant Wombwell, and 107 rank and file. The 14th, the only regiment in Malta, has received orders to hold themselves in readiness for the Crimea, and will leave on the arrival of the 91st, daily expected from England. THE TRANSPORT SERVICE. Yesterday morning, at four o'clock, the steam-ship th e Empress, about 300 tons burden, left the London - Docks, with stores for the French troops in th e hospi tals at Scutari and in the Crimea. The carg o cons i ste d principally of medicine awl clothing. In the course of the afternoon, yesterday, the Army and Navy steam vessel left the docks for the same destination with a cargo of provisions, also on account of the French Go vernment. Yesterday the French ship Breslau was off Spithead, having arrived to embark wooden hats fir the Crimea. Yesterday the steamer Nornsom sailed from Brigham, and the Alma steamer from Cowes, both laden with wooden huts for the Crimea, they having been forced back by stress of weather. The Lady Franklin and Alster steam transports ar• rived in Portsmouth harbour on Sunday evening, to embark stores and wooden but for the Black Sea. LLEUTENANT-GENERAL SIR .DE LACY EVANS.
