The economy in price, the astonishing variety, and the artistic skill obs ni erved in the productions of E. MosEs and Sox , has procured an vassal POW arity for their Establishment and its Branches. The Order Department is the most efficient business in the Tailor ing Trade, and associates such talent, care, correctness, expe incl dit udes ion. and economy as cannot be imitated ; its general application every fashionable order of attire; and with the most sassolute success provides every article of dress required by all se every season of the year. The Hosiery and Ladies' Clothing Department is distinguished by a magnitude and novelty of stock which it is impossible to describe. The richest materials and the moat skilful execution is observable on one hand, and the most elegant and serviceable articles on the other ; but in every instance the prices are very much less than are usually charged. The Hats, Caps. Boots, and Shoes, &c., which are now offered by E. Moses an 1 Pox, are the most elegant samples of manufacture, and are unquestionably the best goods ever presented, though the prices are exclusively economical. The Wholesale Department and the General Outfitting Sections at the Establishment of E. MOSES and Sox is highly advantageous to merchants, shippers, and all classes of emigrants. The Goods are more suitable for use or for sale than any which can be obtained; and the very conomical prices charged by E. Moats and Sox are a source of profit to all purchasers. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untrade.sman-like f a l sehoo d o f 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 LNY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155. 156, and 157, Minories, 83, 84,85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

J. Martin, Esq., PREPARATIONS FOR WAR. SOUTHAMPTON, MARCH 7. The Royal mail steamer Magdalena, which arrived this morning from the West Indies and Gulf of Mexico, has already discharged her cargo, and, under the dili gent supervision of Capt. Vincent, the superintendent of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, will be coaled and ready for employment in the transport service on Monday next. The company originally tendered their monster iron steamer the Atrato, which also arrived thi s morning, but t o f ac ilit ate the embarkation of the troops, the Magdalena was substituted. It is not yet known what regiments will go out in this vessel, which it is calculated could carry 1,200 or 1,300 men. The Atrato, from her enormous size, and the capacious dimensions of her main and lower decks,.would Accommodate a still larger number. The company have evinced the most praiseworthy exertions in getting this vessel properly ready, so as to release the Magdalena from their mail line, and place her in the hands of the Government. The Orinoco, belonging to the West India Mail Com pany, has been the first vessel to reach her destination with troops. A telegraphic despatch received this after noon vid Marseilles and Paris, states that this fine ship reached Malta and landed the Colcistreams in nine days with At m h th S d o eet uE en i2to tie n ro . sf T sht h ho e rte ß ly6 ipo safth n te e rßw n e t ag e ri r dm ed se. :al c e o tta nsie h t ar in b g ou o r f 10 officers and 200 men, with women and children, arrived here this morning in a Government steamer from Parkhurst Barracks, Isle of Wight, on their way to r Chatham to the brig Elvira, Ward master, laden with coals, do' ire to supply this ship with a sea stock of coals previt her departure to join the Baltic fleet. The Columbine, 12 gun sloop, fitting at Chatham, is to be bark rigged, and to be employed as a sailing coal depot from this port, fir the use of the ships composing the Baltic fleet. She will be manned from this establish ment, and the delivery of her cargoes will be under the superintendence of officers, under the directi on of Mr Robert Laws, storekeeper at this yard. A. number of the out-pensioners of Greenwich have been selected to do seamen-rigger's duty at this yard, in lieu of the seamen-riggers draughted into sea-going ships fitting at this port. Some of the pensioners have already arrived, and commenced duty ; and it is reported that pensioners from the Royal Marines are to proceed imme diatly to the coast-guard stations (from which seamen serving as coast-guardsmen have been draughted for ser vice afloat), to perform the duties at the respective coast. guard stations alluded to. - In consequence of the dense fog all day, nearly all classes of vessels have been prevented getting up or down the Medway.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the ealth, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, and has long directed attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is free. Their treatment has unfortunately teen too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant em pities, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, inflict great Injury on those who are induced to place faith in their preten sions. The serious consequences resulting from such mal-practice may easily be avoided, if sufferers from these maladies were to aster tain if their medical adviser be a member of the London College of Physicians, Surgeons, or Apothecaries' Hall, as any one possessing either of these qualifications usually appends it to his name, and thus the legally qualified practitioner can at once be distinguished.

TRIESEMAR, protected by Royal Letters Patent of England, and secured by the Seals of the Ecole de Pharmacie de Paris, and the Imperial College of Medicine, Vienna. The long continuance of most Maladies arising from impurities, while it tends to render detection more certain, and thus frequently to embitter the domestic hearth, also serves to excite feelings of dis. appointment, and to induce lowness of spirits, and other sensations of a most painful kind. The TRIESEUAR effectually, in the short space of three days, completely and entirely eradicates all traces of these Diseases, to whatever stage they may have advanced, possess ing at the same time the manifest advantages of being utterly devoid of taste or smell, and of all nauseating qualities.

Yesterday a special Court of Commissioners was held at the chief office, Greek-street ; Mr. R. Jebb pre siding. The CHAIRMAN, on the opening of the court, said that in consequence of a resolution come to by the court a few days since to adjourn nine die, it was deemed expe dient that the court should not enter into any new matters or business of importance. At the same time they had before them current business of an urgent cha racter. There were payments to be made and other' things to be done which could not be deferred. He might also mention that some time ago several reports had been forwarded to the commission from the Home office relating to the drainage of Tottenham, Barnard Castle, Sandgate, and St. Thomas's, Exeter. The com missioners had directed Mr. Baselgette to proceed to those places and report his own observations upon the plans suggested. It was the intention of the commis sioners that these reports should shortly be presented to Lord Palmerston, and even now, as he considered them to come within the category of urgent business, he should, with the permission of the court, forward them on the following day, accompanied by a few remarks of his own. The court then ordered the execution of the following works :-800 feet of sewer, 3 feet 6 inches by 2 feet 6 inches, in Rose-street and New-street,'Covent-garden, a an estimate cost of 1,1501. ; 110 feet of sewer, 3 feet by 2 feet, in Conduit court, Covent-garden ; and 90 feet of 12 inch piposewer in Lazenby-court—estimate 177/. ; 100 of 12 inch and 240 feet of 9 inch pipe sewer in Goat street, Southwark, on contribution of 30/.—estimate, 551. ; repair of river wall at Greenwich, 1201. ; minor works, 151. Total, 1,5171. After the transaction of some routine business the court Adjourned, FROST," WILLIAMS, AND JONES. Lord Palmerston announced last night in the House of Commons that the clemency of the Crown was to be extended not only to Smith O'Brien, but to other misguided men—the small fry of Irish tumult and insurrection—who have for some years past resided at the antipodes. The Irish " tra versers," as it was the fashion to call them when they were the heroes of the hour, have had as com panions of their exile the leaders of the Newport rioters. It may surprise most of our readers to learn that Frost, Williams, and Jones are still alive. Such, however, is the case, and most persons will be of opinion that any politi cal purpose which could be answered by their continued punishment has long since ceased to exist. It was necessary at the time that such turbulent spirits should be removed from a scene in which they had effected so much mischief. It was also necessary to make an example of them, as a warning to others who might be tempted to offend in the like manner. Morally, as well as legally and politically, no one can doubt that these misguided men richly deserved their fate. They had, indeed, rendered themselves obnoxious to a heavier measure of punishment. They were saved by the humanity and refinement of the age from that more extreme penalty which, until quite a recent date, - >uld have sought upset an existing to write .= Nation," as period of French _ _ nation ~ no doubt, the full right to prescribe the manner in which it shall be ruled, and the form of govern ment which it prefers. It is, however, equally clear that a few obscure individuals, unsupported by the will of the majority, and representing nothing but an impotent fraction of discontent, have not the right to raise a tumult, to sacri fice life, to imperil property, and to spread terror around without the shadow of a hope of success in their insane enterprise. It is no doubt true that the rebel—even the petty rebel—is not so loathsome a criminal as the private assassin, the forger, or the pickpocket ; but his offence is of a far more transcendent nature, and demands even sterner repression. What incalculable misery might not have been caused by the schemes of those men` to whom the clemency of the Crown has been just ex tended had they not been nipped in the bud 1 Even as it was, unhappiness enough resulted from their futile attempts to disturb the existing order of things. The Newport riots have long since faded away from the remembrance of busy men. What remains of them is an historical recollection, and a few par doned convicts. Discontent there may be even now in the manufacturing districts, but certainly the ill-will of the operatives is not directed against the action of the Government. The disputes between employers and employed are lainentable enough - but they have not been coined or aggravated by legislation. It would. , be very difficult to persuade the Labour Parliament or the Pres ton Turn-outs that they would in the slightest degree mend their case by taking up a position antagonistic to the constituted authorities of the country. If this be so in England, doubly so is it the case in Ireland. Surely, if one grain of reason and discernment be left in the hot-headed men who headed the last Irish insurrection, they must re cognise the fact that Ireland is becoming prosperous and contented just in so far as the Irish people have pursued a course diametrically opposed to the one which they advised. We will not say that the miseries of Ireland began with her demagogues, but certainly they did not cease until the last of them had been expelled from his native land. The Irish required to be taught that a country does not thrive on furious rhetoric and excited passions, but by the slower, if less heroic, forms of industry and good order. We entreat the attention of all young Irishmen to this important result of the political disturbances of the last 60 years. He is the worst enemy to Ireland—he is the real traitor to his native land, who sets Irishman against Irish man, or endeavours to let loose the spirit of party and faction, in place of cultivating the kindlier H feelings of . universal toleration and forbeAranee. We could well believe that Mr. Smith O'Brien himself must now be painfully aware of the fal lacy of his views. He is entitled to the respect of his countrymen and of his opponents, as far as his personal character is concerned. No man has given more terrible proofs of sincerity, and we are fully disposed to admit that the manner in which he has conducted himself during his exile, and his respect for his plighted word, fully entitle him to favourable consideration. Others will respect the man who has respected himself. As for the other paltry renegades who have lied and run away, all that can be said of them is, that they have saved their necks,—their honour they have left behind them in Australia.—Times. 7HE CHARGE OF CORRUPTION AGAINST IRISH MEMBERS. The select committee appointed to investigate this charge met again yesterday at one o'clock, and resumed the inquiry: The members were all present, including Mr. Henley (chairman), Lord Hotham, Lord Barring ton, Colonel Bentinck, Mr. Bright, Mr. Muutz, Mr. Macartney, Mr. Keogh (the Irish Solicitor-General), Mr. Harcourt Vernon, Mr. Butt, and Mr. G. H. Moore. Mr. Burke Roche, and Mr. Daniel O'Connell, M.P., were again in attendance, as were also Dr. Gray, Mr. Lucas, M.P., and Mr. Duffy, M.P. The room was crowded throughout the day. Mr. Kane, the solicitor, was recalled, and produced certain memoranda in his own handwriting relating to the loan by Mr. Howley to Mr. Somers, made at the time of the transaction. Among those memoranda was one to the effect that, on the 17th November 1840, he (witness) had finished the searches for any unsatisfied judgments that might be outstanding against Mr. Somers' property • and another showed that on the following day, the ifith of Nov., the bond was executed by Mr. Somers, and the 400/. paid over to that gentleman by the witness in the presence of Mr. O'Hara. Mr. Somers' solicitor continued for several years after that to act as the solicitor of Mr. Howley. His impression was that the loan originated with Mr. Somers applying directly to Mr. Howley. An adver tisement had been previously inserted in the newspapers by Mr. Howley, stating that a sum of money was ready to lend, and referring applicants to witness. Witness did not negotiate the loan of 4001. made by Mr. Howley to Dr. Curtis. That loan to Dr. Curtis was made in Trinity Term, 1841, much later than the loan to Mr. Somers, and it was secured on bond in the same way, and not on mortgage. Mr. James Fair was next called. He said he resided chiefly in the county of Roscommon and occasionally in Dublin. In March, 1848, he was desirous of obtain ing the appointment of a paid guardian, and had two or three communications with the Poor-law Com missioners on that subject. In the early part of 1849 he came to Dublin, where he mot Mr. Charles O'Hara, a solicitor, at Westport, an old schoolfellow of his, to whom he mentioned that he was making application for the appointment in question. Mr. O'Hara stated the name of a Mr. Graham, a solicitor, in Dublin, as being likely to forward the views of witness, provided witness satisfied Mr. Graham as to his qualifications. In a subsequent interview he had with Mr. O'Hara, that gen tleman stated that a sum of money would Be required, but witness could not now recollect whether the amount was named. A day or two after that intimation he hap pened to dine with Dr. Gray, an intimate friend of his, to whom he mentioned the circumstance of making an application for the appointment of a paid guardian ship, when he said the office was not likely to be a permanent one. He met Mr. Graham about the same time by mere chance at an hotel where he was din ing, with whom he had some conversation on the subject of the appointment, but not a word passed between them as to any money being wanted. Witness inferred from what he had heard from Mr. O'Hara that it was through Mr. Somers, the then member for Sligo, that he was to get the appointment, because Mr. Graham was in timately connected with Mr. Somers. Dr. Gray was recalled, at his own request, and stated, substantially, that the evidence he gave on a preceding day had been misconceived by the short-hand writer of the committee, in that the printed report of the evidence represented him as implicating Mr. Burke Roche, M.P., and Mr. D. O'Connell, M.P., as being concerned in the sale of places, which he never fora moment meant to do, and that, in mentioning the names of those gentlemen ia connection with certain pecuniary transactions, he was merely repeating a vague rumour he had heard in Dub lin. He did not intend to give any force, or authenticity whatever to that rumour. The Chairman then reminded Dr. G ray that on a pre vious day he was apprised of a resolution of the com mittee that they would expect him by Monday last to be prepared to furnish them with the names of parties who might be able to substantiate the general statements he had made in giving this evidence before the com mittee. He (the chairman) had to ask Dr. Gray if he was now willing to give the names of those parties ? Dr. Gray replied that he was prepared to give the names of some parties who had had conversations with him upon the subject, and who had stated, in the most distinct and positive way, that members of Parliament were in the habit of selling their patronage. The Chairman—Then be kind enough to give those names. _ _ _ Mr. Bright (interposing) said he wished the room to be cleared before the witness complied with that request. The room was cleared accordingly ; but the committee shortly afterwards adjourned, it being 4 o'clock, until Thursday, at 12 o'clock. Her Majesty will inspect the ijatTntonK"onCESa7t.ur day, and it will sail, in pursuance of orders at present in force, on Sunday morning for the Baltic. The spectacle of the Queen reviewing her fleet in battle array before despatching it to its destination will doubtless again draw thousands to these shores. The inhabitants of Portsmouth intend to show their respect for Sir Charles Napier by presenting him, with an address, and giving a parting ovation on his embarkation for sea on Sa turday. It is supposed Sir Charles will embark at the Victoria-pier from the house of his friend Mr. Grant next Saturday afternoon. The Victoria-pier is within a couple of hundred yards of the spot on Smithson-beach, now marked by an old anchor of the Victory, where Nelson embarked before Trafalgar. The weather to-day has been somewhat clearer than yesterday, and the fleet at Spithead has been plainly visible nearly all day. Rear-Admiral Corry shifted his flag from the Prince Re gent to the Neptune, 120, this morning. It is a subject of general regret that the tides did not admit of this magnifioent three-decker being got out to Spithead yes terday. With the matchless crew of the Prince Regent, Captain Hutton would have had her equipped and re ported ready for sea in 48 hours, and she would have formed a most noble and conspicuous object in the spec tacle anticipated on Saturday next. The Blenheim, 60, screw two-decker, met with a mishap on going to Spit head yesterday afternoon. After clearing the harbour's mouth, in the direct course for Spithead, when off the Spit-buoy, she found a vessel moored directly in the fairway of the harbour channel. On discovering this (there was a thick fog at the time), the Blenheim put her helm a-port (in pursuance of the instruc tions laid down to follow in such cases) to go under the stern of the merchantman, thinking she was anchored in mid-channel, when she immediately after grounded on the edge of the shoal of the Spit Sand. She sent into the Port Admiral for assistance, which was promptly despatched. Admiral Superintendent Martin's dockyard staff were quickly at the scene of the disaster, and worked all night at lightening the ship of her guns, heavy sea stores, water, &c., and, being per fectly upright, she floated off the shoal between 5 and 6 o'clock this morning, we believe without damage. The Commander-in-Chief, Sir Thomas Cochrane, was at the spot in the Fire Queen all night. Rear-Admiral Chads has exercised a division of the fleet to-day in shot practice, and the ships have been ex ma noeuvres.ul ships a k d e t hreoisnien afternoon t forming n A shot from one of the e ha n e e d e nearlye reefi ngtshcause n p r am o n v o ad e k t s on o og m s the i e ns agi l mos tnisail, destruction absurd landin e si lorefsehqpamcollier, ashore. Theha s facts are simply these :—The United Kingdom, 245 tons, Hobson master, in ballast, while on her way to day from Southampton to Sunderland, got within range, and a 321 b. shot struck her a little abaft the mainmast, above the cabin deck, entered the vessel, struck a flour barrel on the other side, and, coming against one of th e iron knees of the vess e l, lodged there. We are happy to sayno.one, was hurt by the splinters. The astonish moot of ilia el z ippar n" ~ .tolapoestod vial or -ma need not attempt to slsTict. The wounds:o into harbour to be repaired in the dock. The St. Jean d'Acre's bowsprit-cap, which was started on the occasion of the collision with the De sperate is being bolted afresh—an operation which re quires the jibboom to be got in ; a new maintopmast in lieu of the one carried away at sea has also to be tried aloft before being stowed. These things have delayed her getting all ataunt before this. The Royal George, screw, 120, Capt. Codrington, C. 8., only averaged 6 knots an hour from Devonport here on Sunday last, owing to meeting a severe easterly gale ; her complement is 990, and she was only 57 short of that number on making Spithead. Her lower deck ports are 5 feet 5 inches out of the water. The last of Ad miral Corry's division (the Arrogant) has been paid wages to-day. The fleet appears to be moored now in the following order : EAST. Port Division. Centre Division. Starboard Division.

THE 19TH REGIMENT. The most active measures are being adopted at the Tower to complete this regiment for service in the East. A very large number of men who had volunteered from the depot companies of the 22d, 25th, 27th, 37th, 67th, and 85th arrived yesterday, and, having undergone a most minute inspection, were at once incorpo rated with the regiment, and received with deaf ening cheers by their new comrades. The men who are to compose the depot companies, principally those whose periods of service are nearly expired, were told off yesterday morning, and will march to Deal in a day or two and he quartered in South Barracks. At the evening roll call the regiment mustered 963 strong, leaving a defi ciency of only 37 bayonets to complete the war establish ment, and it is fully expected that this number will be made up during to-day. To show the zeal of the offi cers and non-commissioned officers in augmenting the 19th to the number required (1,000 rank and file), it is only necessary to state that on the arrival of the regi ment three weeks since in the Tower it was not quite 550 strong, so that nearly 450 men have been raised during that short time. It is believed that this corps will march from the Tower on Tuesday next for South ampton, in order to be in readiness to embark "when called upon. The Ist battalion of the Rifle Brigade, recently returned from the Cape of Good Hope, and at present quartered at Dover, will garrison the Tower. ROYAL ARTILLERY.

The military movements to-day are the following : The 42d Highlanders removed from quarters at Gosport to Portsmouth this morning, and exchanged quarters with the 35th, who went to Gosport. The bonnets of the 42d and 79th Highlanders have been been lowered six inches, by bending the wires on which the plumes were fixed, their late height having been found an im pediment to efficient field service. The depot of the 65th embarked to-day at Cowes in the Sprightly steam tender, Mr. Allen commanding, which conveyed them to Southampton, whence they proceeded by railway to Weymouth. Draughts of the 58th and 66th, with Dr. Webster, embarked at Cowes this morning in the Eg mont for New Zealand. PLYMOUTH, MARCH 7. After leaving the Keyham dock yesterday morning the screw steam-ship Duke of Wellington, 131, took her powder, shot, shell, and provisions on board in Haim- aze. She will probably go out of harbour to-day. Forty one extra riggers have been ordered to join her from this dockyard. The St. George, 120, Captain Eyre, will go out of harbour on Wednesday ; her crew will be paid wages on Thursday. The crew of the frigate Pique, 40, Captain Sir F. Nicolson, were paid wages yesterday. The Royal William, 120, was masted yesterday. She will be brought to the yard to-day. The third detachment of the Ist Royals, consisting of about 300 men, arrived at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. They left Pembroke on Saturday, and remained at Bris tol on Saturday and Sunday. SHEERNESS, MARCEL 6. The Euryalus, 50, screw steam-frigate of 400-horso power, Captain Samuel Ramsey, got up steam yester day morning and left Folly-point. She is now alongside the coal depot in Saltpan-reach taking in her coals for sea ; when she has completed her coaling she will be brought to the swinging buoy for the purpose of having her compasses adjusted, and on Thursday next will pro ceed down the Swin on a trial trip, after which she will be inspected by the port officers, and proceed to the Downs to join the Baltic fleet. The Miranda, 14, screw steam sloop of 250-horse power, Captain E. M. Lyons, is all ataunt, her top gallantmasts having been sent up ; and the respective officers are busily engaged drawing stores, provisions, ammunition, &c., preparatory to her leaving here for the Downs to join the Baltic fleet. Timothy Clinch, Paymaster, Dec 9, 1852, has taken up his commission and joined the Rosamond, 6, paddle wheel steam -sloop of 280- horse power, Commander George Wodehouse. Seamen, it appears, do not like the remem brance of the former name of this sloop—Eclair—for, up to the present time, no vo lunteers have com e forward for her, and of the blue jackets serving on board the flag ship Waterloo, many of whom might have had a higher rating, volunteered for her. It is the name of the ship, not the officers, to which they object. We are informed, from most undoubted authority, that the ori ginal cause of the sickness in this sloop on a former oc casion has been entirely removed, and there is not the slightest ground for any apprehension of a similar cala mity befalling this vessel's crew in any climate beyond that to which the crews of all other vessels are subject. The Majestic, 80, screw steam-ship, of 400 horse power. Captain James Hope, C.B.—The Admiralty have ordered that 150 Coast-guard men should be draughted from different stations to join this ship ; in addition to which there is an order at this yard that all the seamen riggers serving in this yard should be transferred from the dockyard establishment to this ship and the Eurya lus, 50 gun frigate, Captain Samuel Ramsey, the seamen riggers having the opportunity of entering which of the two ships they prefer. Such is the zeal of old mea-of-warsmen, or rather A.B.'s and petty officers, serving in this dockyard as rig gers, that many of them are volunteering for the ships fitting out here to join the Baltic fleet. Many of the riggers' labourers are also volunteering, and being entered as second class ordinary seamen. The Admiralty have ordered that all the seamen-riggers draughted from this yard are to receive their full pay as seamen-riggers for the full term of two months, agreeably to the extent of time allowed by their regulations. The Monarch, 84, Captain John E. Erskine.—The steam tug Tenel Adder has this day been gent off to PROVISION FOR SOLDIERS' WIVES. Yesterday a meeting, which was numerously attended, was held at Willis's Rooms, St. James's, for the purpose of considering what steps should be taken for furthering the objects of an association for the aid of the wives and children of soldiers ordered to the East. The chair was to have been occupied by the Bishop of London, but in his absence, from indisposition, it was taken by Lieut.- General Sir Peregrine Maitland, G.C.B. On the plat form were Lord St. Leonards, Lord Shaftesbury, Lord Mandeville, Mr. Hume, M.P., Lord R. Grosvenor, with other noblemen and gentlemen. Lord SHAFTESBURY opened the proceedings by moving the first resolution, to the effect that as so many soldiers were being sent to a foreign land it was necessary that some means should be devised for the support of their wives and children, and in doing so said that he was most anxious to express the deep sympathy ho felt in a cause like the one they had undertaken. (Cheers.) Ho thought the matter told its own story, and that the an nouncement of the case alone would be quite sufficient to obtain the support of all to whom they might appeal. (Hear.) A large number of our fellow-creatures trained to arms were suddenly called upon to proceed to foreign lands, and their families had been left unprovided for. (Hear, hear.) The soldier's pay was only sufficient to provide for his own necessaries, and for that reason they had come to ask the help of those present. It might be said that if they gave that help to those soldiers' families, they must give it also to those who went to India. He was willing to help them likewise ; but tho circumstances under which the soldiers were sent out were very different. In conclusion, he hoped it would be understood that in the exertions about to be made all soldiers with wives and families would be included, their only claim for support being that they were going forth to fight the battles of their country. (Cheers.) Mr. AIIME, M.P., seconded the resolution. No man i n that assembly had been a greater enemy to war than himself, but he conceived that on this occasion the Go vernment had been driven by circumstances which they could not control to take part against a foe that was threatening, he might say, the civilisation of the world. (Cheers.) Twenty-five thousand men were now leaving our shores, and it was a most important question, what would become of their wives and children ? (Hear, hear.) lie thought it did honour to those who had brought this movement forward, and he hoped there would not be a family in the country slow to join in an aot of mercy by relieving those who were dear to the soldiers who were gone to fight in our defence. (Cheers.) Never did soldiers leave this country in better spirits than those who left so -lately, and it would be a great consolation to them to know that, whatever might be their hardships, their families would be protected. (Cheers.) Lori ST. LEONARDS, in supporting the resolution, suggested that the soldiers family should be assisted in directly by placing his children under the care of compe tent persons until his return, rather than by direct aid. (Hear, hear.) Lord It. GROSVENOR also supported the resolution, and took the opportunity to say that nothing gave him greater pleasure than the presence of his hon. friend the member for Montrose, for he was sure the project was well worth supporting if he were present. (Cheers.) What was wanted to carry out that project was some central committee to receive their money and adopt what plan they might think best. (Hear, hear.) The resolution was carried unanimously. Lord INGESTRE briefly moved, and J. C. CoLeurfouN, Esq., seconded, the next resolution, appointing a pro visional committee of the association. The list included the names of the Archbishop of Can terbury, Marquis of Illandford, Lord - Henry Cholmore deley, M.P., Lord Lilford, Captain Owen, Royal Engi neers, General Sir Peregrine Maitland, G.C.8., Right lion. Joseph Napier, John Wilson Patten, Esq., Aid). Lord Charles Clinton, M.P., Colonel Doldero, M.P., Colonel Dunne, M.P., Lieut.-Colonel Caulfield, M.P., Captain W. F.

Wyndham, M.P., Earl of Shaftesbury, Earl of Effingham, Viscount Hill, and Lord Sondes. The resolution was carried unanimously. Dr. CUMMING moved the third resolution, empowering the committee to receive subscriptions. • Lord MANDEVILLE seconded the resolution, which was . carried by acclamation, and after some observati ons •b y J. and S: Wonliner, E sq., *a v o te of thanksElliott,totEsq., the g allant chairman terminated the pro ceeding& , collection wail made at the doors, -1 1
