Great anxiety prevails to possess authentic information re specting the progress and success of our armies in the East in the Present contest. Adaptation is one feature, and Perseverance another, though there is not necessarily a parallel between the bust ress of E. MOSES and SON and the conduct which should be pur sued for the attainment of a complete victory. Yet the same prin ciples are the certain taus sor success. The Attire to Order or Ready.made at E. MOSES and SON'S Establishment and their West end Branch is Terfectly adapted to the season. It is suitable for every c l a ss and profession ; it is adapted to the most refined taste, and Is the most approved attire for fashion, comfort, and economy. The var i e ty o f the stock affords ample choice for every individual and f am ily in the metrop olis and the country. The superior quality and the very economical prices charged in every department will be acknowledged the most authentic information and the most profit able intelligence of the present times. Perseverance, which allows no obstacle, which never quits the field of industry, which gathers the novelties of the worli and improves them by the most accom plished talent which can be procured at home and abroad, E. MOsEs is unusu ally successful in the Spri n g and Summer productioes of and SON, of which authentic information should be communicated everywhere, as it may he confirmed at any moment by an inspection of their magn ific e nt Sock of Attire for Juveniles or Adults ; Hats, Cans, Ladies' mei Children's Dresses; the most elegant and fashion able Hosiery Goods ; Shirts manufactured on novel principles, which ensure a comfortable fit ; Boots and Shoes, unequalled for thesupf rity and cheapness ; ar,d every article which can illustrate soro rity of Perseverance in the largest C lothing Business in t h e universe. The Wholesale Department comprises the largest and most select stock in the world. Clothing, Shirts, Boots it,cl Shoes, &c., for the home trade or for any part of the world, offer the most desirable ad vantages to Merchants, Shippers, Emigrants, and others. CAUTION.—E. MOSES And SON regret having public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like alsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," to guard the or lt the same concern," has been resorted to in many Instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CoNNEHioN WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN oft OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments. as follows : __London City Establishment, 154, 155. 156, and 157, Minories, 84 aa, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all comunicating.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The steamship Gottenburg arrived in the river at 2 p.m. yesterday. She left Gottenburg on the 2d of May, The Bulldog was coaling in Wingo Sound. The Alban was waiting the arrival of the French fleet off the Scaw. At 7 o❑ the 2d she passed an English line-of-battle ship off the Scaw, steering for the Cattegat. At 6 p.m. ex changed colours with the French fleet off the Texel. The fleet consisted of four line-of-battle ships, three frigates, and a paddlewheel steamer, steering N.E. by E, with a light air from S.W. An English schooner yacht was in company with the fleet. The Miranda, 15, screw corvette, Captain Lyons, left Spithead at 1 p.m. on Thursday for the Black Sea, where she will join the squadron under the command of Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, G.C.B. She was ordered to return to the Baltic, and was on her way, when counter orders overtook her in the Channel, and she went on to Spithead to await despatches from the Admiralty. The Portland, 50, Captain Chads, was expected at Portsmouth last evening from the Channel to discharge her freight. Her Admiral, it is reported, will rehoist his flag to pay the ship off. Port-Admiral Sir John A. Ommanney, K.C.8., in spected the officers and crew of the flag-ship Impreg nable, 104, Captain A. Lowe, in Hamoaze, Devonport, on Thursday, previous to his retirement from the com mand at that port. Yesterday, the Himalaya, screw steam-ship, was sur veyed for the purpose of discovering her capabilities in the conveyance of cavalry. She is reported to be en abled to make accommodation for 300 troops, with their horses, and 20 officers. There is, however, very little doubt that the Himalaya will be found capable of carry ing 50 more of both horses and troops than at present estimated. The preparations will commence at once, but nothing definite is known as to the time and place of her departure. A number of engineers will proceed to-morrow, in the new screw steam-ship Simla, to join the fleet in the Baltic. The Calcutta, 84, teak built ship, which was commis sioned at Portsmouth on Wednesday, by Commander Stephens, for Captain James Stopford, has been brought alongside the dockyard for fitment. She is to have a complement of 750, including officers. The Trinity Board have lately placed a new light ves sel off the Warner buoy, Portsmouth, east end of the Isle of Wight, having one mast and light. It is next to impossible now (unless a ship be hauled by a lubber) for any difficulty to be experienced in getting to Spithead by day or night. The Trinity Board have done a good thing, whether to the navy or merchant service. The transport-ship Wilson Kennedy, Captain Simp son, with the head-quarters and last troop of the Bth Hussars, sailed for the Mediterranean on Thursday morning. Wind south-east. The transport-ship Harkaway, No. 39, Captain Ste vens, with horse artillery from Portsmouth for the Medi terranean, entered Plymouth Sound on Thursday after noon. In coming down channel she bore up for Torbay, on entering which she struck on a sunken wreck, and shortly after the cap of a mast floated up from under her. The crew state that they could discern through the water the three masts of a large ship, and it is conjectured that the wreck is that of the unfortunate Bremen emigrant ship Favourite, which was run down off the Start by the American ship Hesper on Friday, the 28th ult., when nearly 200 persons were lost. The Harkaway was tele graphed at Torbay to come to this port, and she will be taken to the dockyard for inspection and repair. The 6th Enniskillen Dragoons have arrived at Exeter during the present week from Birmingham. A recruiting party preceded them on Monday, and on Tuesday they made their entrance into the city in the presence of a large concourse of the inhabitants. The third and last detachment followed them on Wednesday, having been billeted in various small towns near Exeter. The Ennis killens are not expected to remain in Exeter longer than the present month, as the barracks will then be occupied by the Ist Devon Regiment of Militia, which will assemble on the 31st inst. for 28 days' training. The 11th Hussars have at last received orders to be ready on Saturday morning for embarkation from Kings town. The Glendalough, Captain Howson, which arrived on Wednesday, together with the Tyrone, the Asia, the War Cloud, the Panola, and the Paramatta, has been fitted up for their accommodation, and will convey the regiment to the seat of war. One of the officers of the regiment was at Kingstown during Thurs day, making arrangements for the embarkation. Lord Cardigan is still in London. Captain Jerningham, R.N., is busily engaged in Limerick in enlisting volunteer recruits for the Royal Naval Coast-guard service. Since he opened the ren. (bayous on the quays on Friday he enlisted no less a number than 90, among whom was largszl.n,umber.of people from the North Strand, well acquainted with the use of boats, and some of whom were in the navy before. The Rev. Mr. Moore, parish priest of St. Munchins, on last Sunday advised such of the fishermen as could do no better for themselves at home to embrace the opportunity which was now presented to them of securing for themselves a competence. --,.10be.

It is dated Malta-harbour, April 26 :—" I have to report to you the arrival of this ship at Malta, at 7 o'clock this morning. I arrived at Gallipoli at 10 30 a.m. of the 21st inst., and atr 3 30 p.m., in com pliance with an order from Sir G. Brown, proceeded to Constantinople, where I arrived at daylight the follow ing morning. The troops, baggage, &c., were all landed in the course of the day, and at 6 20 p.m., I weighed and proceeded to Malta. At 830 a.m. of the following day (April 23), just above the entrance of the Dardanelles, I met and spoke the Trent, having the steamer Tonning in tow, and shortly afterwards the Medway ; they would both in all probability arrive at Constantinople the following morning. I also passed on the same day the English steamers Emperor and Arabian, going up the Dardanelles, and on the 24th instant, off Cerigo, the General Screw Company's steamer Golden Fleece, steering for the north-east. It will be requisite to remain here two days for the purpose of sweeping flues, and also to effect some repairs to the boilers, but I hope to get away on Friday, the 28th inst. I requested Admiral Stuart to furnish us with sufficient coal here to enable us to reach England,. but as he de clined doing so, I shall have to put into Gibraltar. Every thing has gone well during the voyage, and perhaps I might mention that before leaving the ship the com manding officer of the troops brought to me the report he had prepared to,forwardto the Admiralty, expressing in the warmest terms the satisfaction be felt at the arrangements of the company on board the Orinoco."

The men, indeed, came pouring in as early as Monday morning, and one company, under Captain Stanley, marched in on Tuesday morn es, ing,and by the Wells road, preceded by drum and fifes cheering again and again for the Queen. The regiment, which attained great proficiency last year, and received the unqualified approbation of the reviewing officer, has been considerably thinned by volunteering into the line, but new recruits have been readily obtained, and many have come in daily since the assembling of the different companies, so that the regiment now musters nearly 1,000 strong, and there is every reason to believe it will in a few days present. its full complement. Last year the drill was conducted by abody of men from the army, but the exigencies of war leave this duty to be performed now by the regimental staff, which is quite efficient, and comprises several experienced veterans. The regiment is under the command of Colonel Pinney, M.P., and the officers have engaged a commodious house in Brock street for their mess. In order to give eclat to their proceedings, they have also engaged an excellent band of Germans, consisting of about 20 performers, who not only accompany th& reginierit to Akit, but will play three evenings a-week in the grounds of the Royal Circus for the amusement of the public. The citizens on their part have invited the officers to a grand ball, to be held at the Assembly-rooms. The Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution has also been thrown open to the officers during their stay, and arrangements made by the clergy and others, by which week-day evening instruc tion in reading, writing, arithmetic, and other branches of useful knowledge, and means of religious improve ment, will be afforded to the men. An excellent hos pital has also been established, and the regiment will attend Divine service at Trinity Church on Sunday afternoons. The Royal Cornwall and Devon Miners Artillery Militia, under Sir Coleman Rashleigh, Bart., Lieutenant- Colonel Commandant, have assembled at Falmouth for a month's training, and received their clothing en Thursday, preparatory to drill. From the number of recruits among them it is presumed the regiment will complete its full number this year. A quantity of am munition and other materiel for the use of the garrison and for the artillery and infantry practice of the militia has been lodged at Pendennis Castle, where the latter force is stationed for duty, with the regular Ordnance Company, under Captain De Rinzy. The South Notts Yeomanry Cavalry, under the com mand of Colonel Holden, assembled on Thursday for eight day's training in Bulwell Forest, near Tottingham. The men looked remarkably well in their Hussar uni forms. They will be reviewed on the 11th inst. The Sherwood Rangers, commanded by the Duke of Newcastle, assembled at Newark on Thursday for eight days' training. The 3d West York Militia, at Doncaster, have com pleted a fortnight of their second period of training, and during the last day or two have been exercised in firing practice, five rounds of blank cartridges being supplied to each man on each day. They are rapidly acquiring the methods of firing in rank, in retreat, and in resisting cavalry. The regiment will be reviewed by Lieutenant- Colonel Slade, inspecting field officer, next week. eolicies issued free o I Stamp duty, and every charge but tha Pre miums.

Colonel Ogilvy in the chair. The report stated that the institution was commenced in the early part of 1851, for the relief of poor persons afflicted with cancer ; and to show the need of an hospital for such a disease especially, no less than 650 sufferers from all parts of the country had come to seek relief, while increased atten tion had been given to the disease from the various hos pital surgeons, and the sympathies of the public gt-nerally enlisted, in the hope that there would be found an anti dote to the fearful ravages of that malady, cancer. The committee felt very grateful that the subscriptions during the last year had placed 1.8321. Bs. sd. at their disposal. Since 1851 no less than 650 had been treated, and many greatly benefitted.

When a captain, sidling without escort, is met in open sea by any vessel of war of ono of the belligerent Powers having right to ( tic amine his ship's papers, he must neither refuse nor endea your to avoid the search, but is bound to produce his papers loyally and without evasion, and to take care that none of the documents concerning the ship or its cargo be alavtracted or thrown into the sea, either after the vessel is hailed, or during the search. 11.

PRINTERS' PENSION SOCIETY. This society, established fur the relief of aged and in• firm printers and their widows, celebrated its twenty• seventh anniversary by a dinner, on Thursday, at the London Tavern. In the absence of Sir Robert Peel, Bart.. M.P.,, owing to an affecting calamity in the Mediterranean, Mr. Lay/rd, M.P., discharged the duties of the chair. In proposing the customary local toasts, reference was made to his Royal Highness Prince Albert having be come a patron of the society. The toast of "The Army and Navy" was received with marked enthusiasm. The Rev. Mr. NIcoLAT, in acknowledging the toast of "The Church," said the printing press had done more for the evangelisation of the world than anything else that could be named. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing "Prosperity to the Printers' Pension Society," said his absence from the chair last year had been unavoidable. This year he had great pleasure in officiating for Sir Robert Peel, who had been incapable of performing the duties in conse quence of an awful catastrophe in the Mediterranean, of which they had heard of through the newspapers. It was a source of gratification that Providence had spared him the calamity which had befallen so many, and that the honoured name of Sir Robert Peel was still preserved to their country. (Cheers.) He ho p ed that, in the absence of Sir Robert Peel, they would putbetelin) with him. (Laughter.) T he y knew that be had employed in excavating old stones on the sites of cities that were once as famous as their own. It might occur to them to inqui re what watshtehefaccaeuse of the dis appearance of those cities from One cause, he thought, was t absence of knowledge, and the absence of a power in those times to distribute g e was then confined to the priest it. (Cheers.) Knowled hood and a few other classes. The printing press was now become as necessary to them as the air they breathed. It was by its instrumentality that the great and sacred truths contained in the Bible had been disseminated over the globe. If they wished to ascertain the value of the printing press, let them imagine for a moment what would be their state under its absence. They re membered the cab strike. (A. laugh.) Now, let them ima gine what would be their feeling if all the morning newspapers had been stopped. What would be the feel ing of members of Parliament to find no record of their speeches? How would the City merchant dispense with the record of the money market ? How would they miss the account of the taking of Sebastopol—news which, whether true or false—(laughter) —was always so gratifying? Mistakes would happen—they all knew that ; but still they all knew the value of the morning papers. The duty of the printer was of an arduous character. The mid night hour, at which he most frequently pursued his labour, was most destructive to health, and one of the great afflictions peculiar to printers was the loss of sight. As a member of Parliament, he had often been struck, after the house had risen at four o'clock in the morning to see "those burning lights " at the offices of the morn ing newspapers which indicated that the words, only as it were just out of the mouths of members of their Houses of Legislature, would soon be on their breakfast tables. (Cheers.) Mr. CowAN, M.P., in proposing a toast, said, the public—not less than printers—were indebted to the authors of the country. It was notorious that not one book in three, nor one pamphlet in three, paid its ex penses. Without attempting to investigate the causediosf this, he might observe that it evince d a feeling of interestedness which was creditable to the a uthors of this country. (Cheers.) Subscriptions were then announced amounting to about 400/. SWEDISH DECLARATION. [FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.] BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEFIAI Ti MAY 4. The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received, through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a despatch from her Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires at Stockholm, enclosing a declaration which has been issued by the King of Sweden, for the guidance of the trade and navigation of that country in times of war between Foreign Powers, a translation of which is hereunto subjoined. We, Oscar, by the grace of God, King of Sweden and Norway, &c., recognizing the necessity, in the face of the collisions threatening to take place between foreign mari time Powers, of the rigorous observance by our faithful subjects engaged in trade and navigation, of the obliga tions and precautions requisite to ensure to the Swedish Flag all the rights and privileges appertaining to it, in its quality of neutral, and also with a view to avoiding everything that might render it in any way suspected by the Belligerent Powers, and exposed to insult, have judged it expedient, in re pealing previous orders on the subject, to decree that the following rules shall be generally observed in future :- 1. In order to be admitted to enj?y the rights and privi leges accruing to the Swedish flag, in its neutral quality, every Swedish vessel must be furnished with the docu ments which, by existing ordinances, q required to prove its nationality, and these documents must always be on board the vessel during its voyages. 2. Captains are strictly forbidden to have double or false papers and bills of lading, or to hoist foreign colours on any occasion or under any pretext whatever. 3, lf, during the stay of a Swedish vessel at a foreign port, the crew, whether by desertion, death, illness, or any other cause, should be so diminished as not to be sufficient for the working bf the vessel, and foreign sailors should be therefore engaged, the preference must be given to the subjects of Neutral Powers ; but in any case the number of the subjects of the belligerent Powers on board the ship must not exceed one-third of the total crew. Every change of this nature in the crew of the ship, with the causes which have led to it, must be marked by the captain in the ship's books, and the fidelity of the annotation cer tified by the proper Swedish Consul or Vice-Consul, or if there be no such person at the spot, by the civil authorities, the notary public, or some other person of the same autho rity, pursuant to the customs of the respective countries. 4. The Swedish vessels in their neutral quality may na vigate freely to the ports and on the coasts of the nations at war; but the captains must abstain from all attempts to enter a blockaded port, as soon as they have been formally warned of the state of that port by the officer commanding the blockade. By a blockaded port, is meant a port which is closed by one or more of the enemies' vessels of war, stationed so near that it cannot be entered without evident danger. 5. All merchandise, including property of subjects of the belligerent Powers, may be freely carried on board Swedish vessels in their quality of neutrals, with the exception of contraband of war. By contraband of war, are meant the following articles : " cannons, mortars, arms of all sorts, bombs, grenades, balls, flints, matches, gunpowder, salt petre, brimstone, cuirasses, pikes, belts, cartouch-boxes, saddles, and bridles, as well as all articles directly serving for warlike purposes" —excepting always such a quantity of these articles as may be necessary for the defence of the ship and tho crew. In case any changes .or additions should be made in the definition of articles composing contraband of war, conse quent upon conventions wit h Forei g n Powers, notifications will be issued. 6. Every Swedish captain is forbidden to employ the vessel which he commands, in the transport, for any of the belligerent Powers, of despatches, troops, or munitions of war, without being forcibly compelled. In this MO he RUM THE ROYAL ALBERT. Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, K.C.8., surveyor of the navy, visited Woolwich Dockyard yesterday, for the purpose of inspecting the Royal Albert, 131, screw steam-ship, and the preparations for the launch of that splendid vessel on Saturday, May 13, at one o'clock. The Royal Albert was designed by the late Mr. Oliver Lang, master shipwright of the Woolwich Dockyard, and her keel was laid down on the anniversary of Prince Albert's birth-day, August 26, 1842. She was origi nally constructed fur a sailing ship of the line, and was proceeded with as such till January, 1852, when she was ordered to be altered to a screw ship of the line, and was in consequence lengthened about 14 feet at the stern, to give space for the screw propeller. By this increase of length, the tonnage (builder's measurement) was increased by about 264 tons. Her present dimensions and tonnage, &c., are as follows : Length between the perpendiculars 232ft. 9 in. Length of keel for tonnage 193 6i Breadth, extreme 6l 0 Breadth for tonnage Breadth, moulded 59 4 Depth in hold Borthen in tons, 3,726 4-94 Engines by John Penn and Son, on their patent trunk principle, of 500 horse-power. The carpentery of this magnificent ship differs in many particulars from the ordinary mode in shipbuilding, and evidences the great mechanical skill of the master shipwright by whom she was designed. On his demise, in 1853, the task of completing the Royal Albert devolved on the present Master-Shipwright, Mr. Wm. M'Pherson Rice, in the fulfilment of which much good taste and ability have been displayed. The Royal Albert is a very fine specimen of naval ar chitecture, and reflects the highest credit on all who have been engaged in her construction. The preparations for the accommodation of the Queen, Prince Albert, and the royal family are on a grand scale, and the number of the nobility, the members of both houses of Parliament, and gentry, will be far greater than was at first anticipated ; the seats have consequently been carried farther back, and will now contain sittings for 8,000 persons. The seats are so constructed as to present a rnost spacious amphitheatre, and, as each seat only rises three-and-a-half inches above the one imme dia.ely in front of it, the view will be splendid, and un interrupted to all who may be present, and the specta tors for a considerable distance on the south and east side of the slip, although only standing in the yard, will have a good view of the launch. The Black Eagle, Admiralty yacht, Master Com mander John E. Petley, will be moored alongside the wharf wall, adjoining the Queen's Royal booth, for the accommodation of her Majesty's immediate attendants, and the other vessels in the ordinary will be made avail able for parties desirous of witnessing the launch. Speculators intend to have the stands from Epsom put up on the opposite side of the river. NAVAL APPOINTMENTS. Master—John Penn (1831), to the Fisgard, flag-ship, at Woolwich.

Handsome Buck a moderate fourth, Margaretta fifth. The CLIP was not challenged for at this meeting. The Newmarket Stakes, the principal feature of interest and importance in to-day's scanty list, -was rendered particu larly attractive by the circumstance of Boiardo, Champagne, and Middlesex meeting again after their contest for the Two Thousand. The race gave Champagne his revenge of Middlesex for the defeat sustained from him for The Guineas. The posi tions of Middlesex and Boiardo (second and fourth) were rela tively the same. Acrobat's easy triumph over Physalis colt had the effect of advancing him to the position of leading favourite for the Chester Cup. He was also backed for some money for the Derby. It will be seen by the above return that three races out of the four were very closely contested, and the results were in favour of the " fielders." The weather was all that ,eould. ba desired. The s odisne `forth brilliantly- - ; and'aliatlionth whadiffeased ft . • tress through the clear atmosphere. The first lace was at half-past twelve, the last at two, and in an hour afterwards the town resumed its wonted quietude, most of the company having left by special train for London. The journey was accomplised in two hours and a half. MR. THELLIISON.—Ou our return to town we were glad to find that there was no truth in the report so industriously circulated at Newmarket that this gentleman was dead. LATEST BETTING. CHESTER CUP. - - - - Acrobat, after his defeat of Physalis colt, rose into high favour for this event ; 20 to 1 was taken to some money im• mediatcly after the race, and so strong was the desire to get on, that at last 12 to 1 was taken, and offers were made to back him against anything. Aldford and Dr. O'Toole were nominally at 12 to 1 each; Newminster at 30. DEBBY. - • En route to London, four monkeys to one were taken about Autocrat. Wild Huntsman was again in full cry ; 2D W 1 taken freely. 2000 to 40 taken twice about Acrobat. MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.) COVENT GARDEN.
