We are not accustomed to symbolise ; but the progress of the sun of civilisation, manufacture, science, and literature from east to west, and the concentration of power, influence, riches, and skill in the western nations is illustrated in the commercial transactions of E. Moses and Son. Their magnificent business career commenced in the east of the metropolis and :extended over the known world, and at the urgent request of their friends, patrons, and the public, they founded a branch at the west end. There, and at the Parent Esta blishment, they have continued to f irnish the most seasonable, the most fashionable, and the best Dress for all classes at the most eco nomical prices. Winter Attire, Overcoats, Paletots, Waterproof Dress, Juvenile Clothing, UnPorms, Liveries, Ladies' Hahits, costumes for all sta tions and professions, the Work*? Man's and the Seaman's clothing being provided with the same industry, at prices never imitated. In conjunction with the Tailoring and Ready-made Clothing business, E. Moses and on have long had the lead as Hosiers and shirt manufacturers. To the i r Branch Establishment, New Oxford street, they have added a Hosiery Department, which cannot be equalled for extent, magnificence, novelty, and splendour of stock ; it afford■ advantages too numerous for detail, bat which will be highly appreciated by the nobility, gentry, and the public, as such Hosiery Goods may there be selected as cannot be obtained else where. Merchants, Captains, and Emigrants derive the greatest advan tages from investments in the Wholesale Clothing, Boot and Shoo, and Shirt Department, at E. Moses and Son's. 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 WITII ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OS OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, Minories, 84, 85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

Rte . The essential oblect of this treatise is to point out the fearful con venences resulting from certain habits, irregularitle, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages ot Life, VI:IA,, perhaps. any other class of disease known to modern pailiol.,, , ,lsts. Its perusal 1., particularly recomnnaided to persons entertaining secret doubts 01 their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is eltitled. It is absolutely necessary thatall man should Itnow, that there arc 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 bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its cons quences maybe avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any decree of physical imirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have unfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant e mpirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, _ _ _ Immediately on the arrival of intelligence of the decease of our much-lamented Representative, Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart, I was urged by several Electors to come forward as a Candidate for the vacant seat ; and have continued to receive communications to the same effect, with unsolicited offers of votes and influence. Had the ground been occupied by a Candidate whose rank, poll i cal principles, position, and local associations with the Borough had secured for him the general support of the Electors, and afforded a prospect of an unopposed return, I should have declined to disturb so desirable a state of harmony. But up to the present time no such immediate prospect exists. The names of several noblemen and gentlemen have been suggested, but no unity of purpose is observable even among those Electors who advocate the same principles. I therefore think it right, in deference to the gentlemen who have honoured me with•their confidence, to comply with their request, and state briefly the principles upon which I am prepared to stand, proviled the same should appear to be generally acceptable to the Electors. Having resided for many years in the Borough, during which time I have been actively engaged in parochial duties, my principles as a supporter of Local Self-Government, in opposition to Centralisa tion, are well known. Being, like a majority of the Electors, engagei in business, I am identified with their Interests. I have been and am in favour of Free Trade, and will support the repeal of the unjust restrictions im posed last session upon the public in the purchase of necessary re freshments. I am an advocate of Civil and Religious Liberty; Household and Felucational Suffrage ; the extension and improvement of education among all classes ; and a reform of the laws relating to elections, in cluding the protection of Voters by the Ballot. Believing that my principles accord with those of the large ITheral majority in the Borough, I shall feel honoured by the support of the Electors, but lam too sincere in the cause of Reform to press myself forward, if in the Lours° of the contest a decided preponderance of opinion should be shown by my own party.in favour of a Candidate who may better serve our common cause. I beg: to express my acknowledgments to those whose repeated solicitations have induced me to take a step which I should not have taken without such sanction. I have the honour to be, My Lords and Gentlemen, Your very obedient Servant. 15, Langbam-place, Dec. 6th, 1854. JACOB BELL.

The Neptune, 120, Captain Hutton, will sail to-day, weather permitting, for Queenstown, to embark the 72d Highland Regiment, and detachinents of ether regiments, after having shipped about 100 tons of Ordnance stores for the neat of war. She will only proceed as far as Malta, and then return. The troops and stores will be carried from Malta by steamers, Rear-Admiral Plumridge struck his flag on Monday night, and went on extended leave. The Leopard, 18, Captain George Gifford, will not be ready to leave to-day with the Neptune, but is ordered to leave on Saturday for QueenstoWn, to embark 450 t r oops for the Crimea. The Odin, 16, paddle-wheel steam-frigate, Captain Francis Scott, is under orders to proceed to iroolwich on her return from the Baltic to have new boilers put on board.

Steam transport No. 140 arrived at Spitbead yester day. THE PRUSSIAN LEGISLATURE• The Liberals in the Second Chamber of the Prussian Legislature have obtained a victory over the Court party in the Presidential elections. The President, Count Sschwei in, and one of the Vice-Presidents, M. von Bethmann-Hollweg, are Liberals ; the other Vice- President, M. von Arnim, is a supporter of the Court. These elections are not altogether conclusive as to the tone which will predominate in the Second Chamber, in aeinuch as vacancies have been created in the ranks of the Court party, by the appointment of several of its members to seats in the First Chamber which have to be filled up by partial elections. They warrant however, a hope that the insane policy of the Prussian Court may encounter a decided resistance among the representatives of the people. The First Ohamber having been recruited almost exclusively from the ranks of Conservatives, will be a mere echo of the speeches from the throne. The Prussian State is at this moment passing through a crisis of unprecedented anxiety. There is no nation in Europe that has more to dread from Russian ascendancy than Prussia. The representative institutions of Prussia, still in their infancy, shifting and changing their form from day to day according to their monarch's whim of the hour, are a constant eyesore to the Government at St. Petersburg. Even were the reins of Government in Prussia held by a King less obsequious to the Czar, the indefensible eastern frontier of the monarchy, and the conflict of races in the frontier province, expose Prussia at all times to intimidation from its Muscovite neigh bours. The people of Prussia are probably the most ripe for a real constitutional government of all the German states, and the most anxious to enjoy it. Their only guarantee for obtaining and preserving it—in despite of the absolutist tendencies of their court, and the domineering disposition of Russia—is to be sought in a cordial and intimate alliance with the two great Western Powers. If Prussia does not join the Western Alliance, the liberties of the Prussian people are not worth a six months' purchase. And almost the only chance of Prussia's adhering to the Western Alliance depends upon the attitude which shall be assumed by the Second Chamber, in the session that has just opened. Not a day passes that does not bring us fresh proofs of the subserviency of the Prussian Court to the Czar, and the hollowness of its neutrality. Take the most recent example. On the 2d inst. twenty chests of fire arms, weighing four tons, arri ve d f rom Lie ge , at the railway station in Cologne. When opened, for the pur pose of ascertaining the amount of duty, each chest was found to contain twenty-eight firelocks, making a total of five hundred and sixty. The Russian eagle was en graved on each of these weapons, and the initials of the Czar in Russian characters. They could not be intended for the use of the Prussian army, as all its arms are manufactured in the country. This is the tenth arrival of the kind from Liege at the Cologne railway station. The ostensible destination of these packages is Berlin, but among the railway and customs officials not a doubt is entertained that they are transmitted thence to Russia. It has been remarked, in more than one letter from the Crimea, that many Russian rifles found on the field of battle have the Liege mark. Here, then, we have the Prussian Government, in contempt of its professed neu trality, conniving at the transport of arms to Russia through its territory. Nor is this one isolated act. More than a month ago we published accounts of the systematic exportation of lead from the Prussian ports on the Vistula to St. Petersburg and Warsaw. The fate of all Germany may be said to be at this moment in the hands of the Prussian Representative Chamber. Its members also alone have the power to im pose a check upon the Russian predilections of their Government. Their struggle against the Court will be an arduous one, for Time has not yet defined and con firmed their privileges. But it is not a hepeles3 struggle, for even in the Min'otry there are men who, though they have not the courage and self-denial to sacrifice place and Court favour by asserting their convictions, are most reluctantly dragged along by the sycophants of Russia among their colleagues. And the reward of the constitutional efforts of the Chamber will be great, for the war in defence of national independence throughout Europe, is a war to expel Russian influent., from every country that has succeeded in obtaining representative institutions. The members of the Prussian Second Chamber have immediately under their eyes the progress of constitutional struggle which ought to shame them into a resolute assertion of their rights. The Germans are apt to brag of the influence which German science and literature have exercised over the Danish mind, and to flatter themselves that intellectual culture has made greater progress in Germany than in Denmark ; will they allow the Danes to take the lead of them is an as• sertion of popular rights at once temperate and triumphant I—Daily News. AUSTRIA AND THE TVEST.E.TZN POWERS. Under the head of "European Alliance" nearly the whole of the front page of the Constitationne/ is filled with an article on the negotiations in Germany relative to the Eastern question. The history of these negotia• tions, from beginning to end, is given ; but our readers are already too well acquainted with them for it to be necessary to repeat the acc,unt given by the Constitu tiortnel. We extract, therefore, only the concluding portion of the article, in which our contemporary shows that the negotiations have ended satisfactorily for the cause of the We►•tern Powers:— _ _ "It is not in her own name only, but in that of all Germany, that Austria can now speak to Russia ; it is the weight of all the Confederation that she may cast into the balance. Never was a ruder blow given to Russia.; her influence in Germany is annihilated. There only remained to Austria one more step to take before breaking off with Russia, and, to prevent the Emperor Francis Joseph from taking it, Russia determined to make a last and tardy concession. She caused it to be declared at Berlin that she accepted the four gua rantees with certain reserves, and at Vienna that she accepted them as they stood. The effort was use less ; when Prince Gortschakoff made the declaration to Count Buol, the bases of a treaty by which Austria promises her co-operation to the Western Powers were already laid down, and throe days after the treaty , was signed. The necessity of exchanging the ratifica tions only prevents the text from being made known ; but it may be said that it gives to the powers all the guarantees they desired, either to obtain peace or to carry on the war. Thus is crowned by a decisive act the long series of negotiations which have little by little detached Austria from Russia. Thus is broken the last ring of the chain concocted in 1815--thus is inaugurated in Europe an entirely new state of things. The French Government, whose sagacity had prepared this great re sult, and which rendered it easy by its frankness and persevering moderation, gathers the fruit of its good conduct. The young Emperor of Austria and his pru dent councillors who surround him will gain in return for their firmness the security of their country, the illus tration of their name, and the gratitude of Europe, for which they prepare a glorious and lasting peace." On this article, the Pays observes : " The Monaca) . has published a telegraphic despatch announcing that a treaty of alliance was signed on the 2d at Vienna, between Austria, France, and Great Bri tain. The great length of the negotiations had produced considerable uneasiness in the public mind, as men hesi tated to believe that Austria could decide on breaking the bonds which had so long united her to the Russian policy. The policy of loyal firmness and of noble inde pendence has triumphed over all obstacles, and Europe will at last learn that the reminiscences of 1315 aro defi nitely thrust back into the history of the past. The date of the signature of the treaty is of good augury. France and Austria will behold with pleasure that it corresponds with the anniversary of the resurrection of the French Empire, and of the consecration of the an cient empire of the house of Hapsburg. The young Emperor who represents that glorious dynasty, only listening to the interests of his states, has joined the Allied Powers for the purpose of securing the triumph of right, and we shall soon behold the Austrian eagles mingled with those of France. The thought expressed by the Emperor of the French to General Canrobert is thus realised, ' Europe has beheld without fear our eagles, so long banished, again gloriously taking their flight.' Honour to the cabinets which hare prepared such events ! The various nations owe them a debt of ' gratitude, and history will accord them a noble page. M. de Buol, with ability and firmness, has known how to pay attention, as much as was possible, to the tra ditions of Austrian policy. Ho endeavoured to bring back peace as long as any hope remained of doing so. But he did not he sitate at the decisive moment. _Although complete details have not reached us, the indications precedently received leave no doubt as to the accord which exists between the contracting parties. The government of the Emperor, by the eleva tion and straightforward character of its policy, has succeeded in effacing the prejudices which might inter fere with that alliance, and in removing all authority from the party which supported at Vienna the preten sions of the Emperor of Russia. It is a grand step made towards a definitive and solid peace ; and truly is it not a subject of admiration to behold all the diplo matic traditions of Europe turned upside down under the successor of the hero against whom all Europe had united ? Austria, Great Britain, and France joined to gether for the same object, are henceforward invincible. War ne longer presents danger for any of them. Let us offer up our prayers that Prussia, comprehending her well-understcod intereste, will give her alhesien to the accomplishment of the common work, and so lead the Eeiperor Nicholas to perceive that Le must not i n d u lge any hope of obtaining support in the unfortunate course in which he has engaged." THE ROYAL KOTI-I-NOOR BATTERY.—A writer of a letter from the seat of war says :—" o.lr blue ' jackets' batteries, partic ularl y that of the Diamond, Captain Peel, have done great execution. The Diamond's bat tery attracts the attention of the Russians by having a large board up in front of it, with " The Royal Koh-i-• noor Battery" painted on it. The Russians, our tars say, cannot make it out. They have attacked it several times, and each time they nave been driven back with very severe loss. They say they lose a great many blue jackets, as Jack will jump up atter he fires, to see whether or not the shot tolls well, at which time he ought (under orders) to be lying down flat on his face. [PRICE SD. SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW. Yesterday was the first public day at the show, and notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather the attendance was considerably above the average. The appearance of the stalls afforded a very gratifying proof of the excellent character of the stock, as the label " sold " met the eye in, every direction. The Devons have all met purchasers amongst the metropolitan butchers, and a great number of the Herefords have also been, sold. Amongst the short-horned the Duke of Rutland's gold medallist has become the prize of Mr. Ford, of Kenton-street, Russell-square, at the large priests of 701. The other stock sold realised propor tionably good prices, as may be inferred from the ra pidity with which they went off. In the sheep and pig department the market has been equally brisk, so that it is confidently expected that before the close of the show the whole of the stock will have been disposed of. The lovers of gigantic sirloins will be glad to learn that Mr. Byara's Bridgewater Leviathan is still in the market, and was during the whole of yesterday the great attraction of the show. The value of the improved ven tilation was very perceptible yesterday in the comfortable repose of the animals, so different from the distress and panting exhibited in former years. The visitors also found the advantage of the alterations, as, although the attendance was so great, there was no crushing or crowd ing, while the entrances and exits were made with per fect ease and facility. The galleries were much crowded, and the various machines attracted a great deal of atten tion, especially a formidable array of locomotive threshing machines, which occupies one of the apartments. Amongst the visitors yesterday were the Duke of Richmond, the Earl of Leicester, Earl Hardwicke, Sir James Graham, the Prince of Surat and. a numerous retinue, Sir NV. Booth, and several other persons of distinction. To-day is fixed for the elub dinner, at which a numerous attendance is expected. PATRON-11. R. IT. PRINCE ALBERT. DOY AL POLYTECHNIC INSTITITTION.

DEATH OF GENERAL DE LOURMEL. A. letter from before Sebastopol, of the 11th, in the Moniteur, gives the following account of the death of General de Lourmel from the wound which he received in the hfrair of the sth ult.:— "The general received a ball light in the breast, but his features betrayed neither emotion nor suffering, No one perceived that he was wounded; and turning towards his orderly officers, who just before had courageously freed him from the thickest of the melee, he said, am wounded, but let no one know it !' He was still on horseback, firm and impassible. At this moment the order was brought to him to cease the pursuit ; the Rus sians were in flight i n a ll di rect i ons. H e li s tened with attention to what was sa id to him, and then feeling his strength fail, he s a id, 'G o and seek the colonel of the 26th ; let him come to reoeive my instructions.' It was only half an hour after being wounded that he consented to alight from his horse. He endeavoured to walk in order not to let the troops see that he was wounded ; but soon his strength gave way, and yielding to the pressing solicitations of his officers, he allowed himself to be carried. He still, h owever, cont i nue d t o occu py him self with Lis troops; at every moment he caused himself to be stopped, gave orders, and corrected movements. He, however , lost a great deal of blood, and every minute he became weaker. At length he was obliged definitively to abandon his command. The general was carried in the arms of his officers ; they adored him, and were bathed iu tears. Desirous of giving to the end the e xamp l e of calm and intrep idit y , hein dicated himself the road he wished to take. At length, after t sso hours' agony, he reached his bivouac. , Able surgeons informed in advance awaited him. The gene ral insisted on taking off his clothes himself, and whilst his wound was being dressed, he said It is nothing —I shall get ov er it . ' Ile thus ' reassured those who sur rounded him. When the dressing was terminated he re quested to be left alone. Shortly after he called his orderly officer, Captain de laJaille I have done with doctors,' said he, ' and have another account to settle. Go fora priest ?' His other attendants now entered, and seeing their emotion, he cried :—` Why do yon pity me ? Is not my wound glorious?' The soldiers had named him the Bayard o f the army, and like Bayard he died as a hero and a Christi an. The ball, passing between the se cond and third r ib s had traversed ' the left lung, and went out by the shoulder blade. The medical men were not without hopes of preserving his precious life ; they counted greatly on his extraordinary energy and moral courage. But the general himself never entertained any illusion ; he made, with the same sangfroid which pre sided over all his actions, his last worldly arrangements. In the evening he said to the orderly officers who stood by his bed, You will take care to say that my last thoughts were of France and the Emperor !' The general lived two days. As time wore on, he spat blood more frequently, and his breathing became more difficult. However, he preserved all his faculties. He sent for his officers, and gave them his last instructions. Towards the end his sufferings became frightful—nothing could calm them. He had, however,' some repose, arising from the weakness caused by his pains, which were in describable. Those who surrounded him believed that he was a little better ; but on the 7th, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, he bad an attack of coughing. Half an hour after he breathed his last. Adored and admired by his soldiers, loved and esteemed by all his companions in arms, who highly appreciated his superior qualities, General de Lourmel, by his good, frank, chivalrous cha racter, will leave eternal regret in the hearts of all who have known him." Tn FIGHTING POWERS OF DIFFERENT NATIONS.— The French, proverbially a brave and excitable people, aro brilliant and formidable in an attack. If repulsed, a revulsion equally violent usually takes place, and would often prove fatal if it were not for the precaution of placing reserves. When these are not wanting, they are capable of being easily rallied, and their lively spirit is soon restored. The Russians are less excitable ; but, nevertheless, in an attack are not to be surpassed in bravery and perseverance by the troops of any European nation, e ith this advantage, that they appear to be in capable of panic, and,. though they ini.y be repulsed and defeated, they cannot be forced to run in confusion from the field of battle. Thu Prus;:ian armies engaged in these campaigns were not, for the moat part, very young soldiers ; a spirit of enthusiasm pervaded their ranks, which rendered thole capable of the most brilliant achievements. In cases of defeat, the effects of momen tary hurry and confusion, to which all young troops are liable, were less violent with them than the French ; but, though easily rallied, and their patriotic enthusiasm soon restored, they could not rival the Russian stoicism in adversity. The Austrians, properly so called, were highly disciplined and Lrave, but the infantry of that race appeared deficient in energy when compared with the French or Prussians, and their physical powers could not be compared with those of the sturdy Russ'an soldiery. The Bohemians appeared to be somewhat more healthy and robust, but did not materially differ in point of national character from the Austrian breth ren in arms. The Hungarian infantry were decidedly supe rior to both in point of energy and physical power, and tho select corps of grenadiers furnished by that nation were equal, if not superior, to any in the field.—Cath ' cart's Commentaries. - 167, ( - SHIPPING _RETURNS. The shipping returns of the Board of Trade for the month ending the sth of November have been issued, and indicate no falling off in the employment of British vessels, the diminution observable being still in those of foreign countries, whence at the corresponding period of last year large arrivals of grain were taking place. For the future, however, this feature is likely to be altered, since considerable consignments of wheat must now be on their way from many quarters. Under these circumstances, looking at the number of Bri tish vessels removed from trade by the exigencies of the war, and the degree in which its success depends upon them, it would be well if those who, year after year, resisted the policy of the statesmen by whom the repeal of the navigation laws was effected would con template the position we might be in if we were limited exclusively to our own supply. Already throughout the demand for breadstuffs of late years, as well as in the shipping requirements consequent upon the Austra lian gold discoveries, we have seen incalculable results from the free system ; but, at the present moment, in the midst of war, and with a necessity for new impor tations of grain, its advantages are likely to become still more prominent. Subjoined are the general totals of entries and clearances, of ali classes of vessels, for No vember:— Entered inward : TONNAGE FOR MONTI! ENDING Nov. 5. 1852. 1853. 1854. British vessels 425,353 377,289 380,446 Unitel States' vessels 73,810 62,053 65,293 Other countries 193,423 237,977 144,324 692,621 676,619 590,063 The clearances outward were : 1852. 1853. 1854. British vessels 301,821 329,766 326,943 United States' vessels Other countries 139,906 181,485 157,774 49G,404 581,290 552;983 For the 10 months just ende 1 the aggregate of entries and clearances shows an increase of 41 per cent, over the totals for the same period of last year. With regard to the coasting trade, the returns show that the tonnage entered inward was 1,004,977 in the month ending Nov. 5, 1852 ; 865,865 in 1853 ; and in the present return it is 852,270, including 32 forei,m vessels, of an aggregate burden of 6,263 tens. The clearances outward were 1,053.583 in November, 1852 ; 1,032,719 in 1853 ; and 1,036,255 (including 3,653 tons of foreign) in 1854. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Dec. 5.—A more cheerful feeling has pervaded the market again to-day, and in some easy s there has been sufficient demand for cbAli to check the downward tendency of pries a little. India shirtings of 71b. and downwards have experienced some &tumid, and jaconers for the same quarter have met with a better inquiry. Many of the orders executed have been small, but the aggregate business for export is to a fair amount, though there is not much faith in the permanence of the improvement. Some of the home-trade houses, follow ing the practice of stock-taking in the last week of No vember, have also been purchasing a little more freely this week. A good deal of business is still doing in long cloths, T cloths, and doineFties. The yarn trade has felt the improvement fully as much, perhaps, as the cloth, and spinners have realised id. per pound mere for cops than they could have obtained last week. For Germany the season is almost over, but buyers have been willing to pick up yarns suitable where it could be done at last week's rates. More inquiry has also been experienced for India qualities, but not to the extent to which the home trade has felt the improve ment. While very sanguine opinions are hazarded as to the permanency of an improvement in yarns more than cloths, there is a general feeling that, so far as prices are concerned, we have probably seen the worst that will be experienced on this side Christmas. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. say : "The accounts from Calcutta to hand on Wednesday last being of a much more favourable nature than was an ticipated, there has been since that day a more active in quiry for low shirtings, jaconets, and Madapollams. Stocks of these goods, which were very heavy, have been much re duced, but no improvement has taken place in prices. For other descriptions of goods there is a steady demand at last week's rates. On the whole, although wo have no change in prices to notice, there is a more cheerful feeling in the market than we have had to import for some weeks." Messrs. G. Fraser, Son, and Co., say :—" There has been some increase of business during the last few days, especially in India shirtings, benefitted, no doubt, by the extreme decline in prices. Most of the stocks which pressed on the market have consequently found buyers, and prices, without being at all buoyant, are certainly steadier. Other goods remain without change." LEEDS, Dec. s.—The demand for woollen cloth this morning in the cloth-halls has been of a very meagre description, and very little has been sold. There is no perceptible change in prices, but the tone of the trade is scarcely so good as it was on Saturday. At the Leeds corn-market to-day there has again been a small supply of grain and a dull sale. Wheat is noted 2s. per quarter lower, and other articles in like proportion. PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mille discount (according to the last tariff), which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.141 ; and, the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 074, it follows that gold is about 0.28 per cent, dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Ham burg, the price of gold is 4221 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce for stand ard gold, gives an exchange of 13.3 k,; and, the exchange at Hamburg on London at short being 13.31, it follows that gold is 0.13 per cent dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of exchange at New York on Lon don for bills at 60 days' sight is 1091 per cent., and, the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is no minally 0.17 per cent. in favour of England ; and, after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of interest, the present rate leaves a trifling profit on the importation of gold from the United States. NEW MEMBERS IN THE HOUSE Os' COMMONS.— Although only a few weeks have elapsed since Parlia ment was prorogued, no fewer than 25 now members will take their seats in the House of Commons on the opening of the forthcoming session. It will be remem bered that a few days before the close of the last session write were granted, on the motion of Sir W. Jolliffe, for five boroughs which had been for a long time suspended, and the following gentlemen were elected in the early part of the recess :—Canterbury, Mr. C. M. Lushing ton (moderate Conservative) and Sir Wm. S o merville (Liberal) ; Camb r idge, Mr. Shafto Adair (Liberal) and Mr. Mowatt (Liberal); Mahlon, Mr. G. W. Y AlifooereP cocke (Conservative) and Mr. J. A. Brm a I (Conservative) ; Barnstaple, Mr. Guinness (Conservative)rre and Mr. Laurie (Conservative) ; A . Watson, Q.C. (Liberal), and Mr. W. D. Sey mour Mr. John Henry Gurney (Liberal) will take (Liberal). the seat for King's Lynn, rendered vacant by the death of Lord Jocelyn ; Viscount Duncan (Liberal) the seat fur Forfarshire, vacant by the death of Colonel Alaule ; Mr. Acton (Liberal) t hat for Wigan, vacant b y the death of Mr. R. A. Thicknoise ; Lord Dungarvan (Conservative) that for Fronie.vacant by the death o f Colonel Boyle ; Mr. SerjeAnt O'Brien (Liberal) that for Limerick, vacant by the death of Mr. Robert Putter ; and Sir J. Paxton (Liberal) flea for Coventry, vacant by the death of Mr. leach. Llrd fladdo will take his seat for Alerdeenshire, the vacancy having been caused by the resignation of Rear-Adiniral the lion. William Gordon. Eight other constituencies have yet to dint r epresentatives—namely, Abingdon, in the room of Lord Norreys, who has succeeded to the Earldom of Abing don ; Bedford, in the room of Mr. Henry Stuart, de ceased ; Limerick county, in the room of Mr. Wyndham Goold, deceased ; Fermanagh county, in the room of Sir Arthur Brooke, deceased ; Antrim, in the room of Colonel Pakeham, deceased ; Ayrshire, in the room of Colonel Blair deceased ; Elst Glocestershire, in the rdom of Sir Michael Hicks Beach, Bart., deceased; and Marylebone, ;u the room of Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart, deceased, AUSTRALIA. The arrival of the remaining portions of the Australian mail, overland, furnishes details of the markets and of general affairs. The fifth session of the Legislative Council was oponed on the 2d of August. The following was his Excellency's address : " Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Legislative Council—ln meeting you on this occasion of the ordinary annual session, I am well assured, from the general manifestation of the public sympathy which is now in progress, that you entirely participate in those senti ments of devotion and loyalty to her Majesty which so cordially animate every breast on the subject of the just and necessary war with Russia in which her Majesty has engaged, for the maintenance of treaties, the honour of her Crown, and the welfare of her people. "2. All the official despatches which have reached me from her Majesty's Secretary of State, together with a satisfactory communication from the naval Com mander-in-Chief, through the senior naval officer on this station, will be lad before you. These documents and other public intelligence indicate, in my opinion, how very improbable is the contingency that hostilities may be extended to this remote part of her Majesty's dominions. " 3. I have, however, to inform you that the rumours of war which reached this colony through the public jour nals in January last induced me to send an application at that time to England for additional arms,- and also for one of her Majesty's vessels of war to be stationed in Gulf St. Vincent, in order that, whilst confiding in the superiority of her Majesty's forces by sea and land as an ample safeguard against any open or serious attack from the enemy, ti -• bravery and loyalty of the colonists aggressionpproed d of es t e h r e ip ir ti b on ear e might be furnish e d w i t h a timely supply of the most marauding efficient and tfhsarmansd, to repel T any this application no answer has as yet been received, but may now soon be expected. " 4. I have directed a bill to be laid before you for organising volunteer corps of rifles and artillery ; in the event of legislation for this measure meeting your con currence, the military, as also the armed police, will, in case of need, be enabled to receive such an augmenta tion of force from the patriotism, zeal, and manliness of the volunteers aS will ensure protection against any hostile assault. The biil also provides for the eventual formation, when necessary, of a general body o f m i l i tia. " 5. In closing the last session of this council, I ex pressed an opinion that the present meeting of the Leg's 'attire might-probably take place under the new consti tution which you had framed. I have not, however, as yet received any communication on the subject. The delay which has hitherto taken place may, with great probability, be ascribed to the European events whi c h were imminent when our local legislation was trans mitted. " 6. I have much pleasure in informing you that the public finances continue in a prosperous condition. The remittances in 1853 for immigration were 140,1631., and in 1851 they will soon reach to 265,0001. ; whilst the remittances for 1855 will probably not be less than 162,0001. "Daring the current year, 4,344 Government immi grants have arrived. The population of the colony is now 81,752. The increase during the last 18 months has amounted to rather more than 13,000. " The Crown moiety of the Land Fund, after provid ing for the survey and other local charges appropriated to that fund, contributes i n 1854,in aid of the general revenue, 144,0001. ; and in 1855 the aid may be reck oned to be 60,000/., exclusively of the previously men tioned quota appertaining to the Emigr ation Fuad. " The general colonial revenue in 18 54 will amount to about 190,1361., and is reckoned at 228,6511. for 1855. "7. The estimates of revenue and expenditure will be duly submitted ; and I have directed a bill to be laid before you to constitute a trust for Port Adelaide to raise a loan of 100,000/. for certain purposes of improve ment in deepening the harbour, and in removing its muter and inner barn, as set forth in an address which reached me at the clove of last session. It is proposed that, in the first instance, the loan should be provided for out of the general revenue, and afterward be repaid by such means as may appear most appropriate and effectual. "A bill will also be laid before you to raise 250,0001. for the construction of a railway between Adelaide and Gawler Town. "Also a bill to make the deposit of original deeds equivalent to registration ; and another bill to amend the Supreme Court • Act, as recommended by their honours the judges. "Some other legislation, comparatively of less pnblis importance, will also be submitted to you ; and on other subjects which I may have occasion to bring to your notice, I will communicate with you in the usual form by message. " 8. In conclusion, Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen, I would offer to you the expression of my cordial desire that the mutual co-operation between the Executive and the Legislature which has happily characterised our in tercourse throughout the whole period of my admini stration of the Government may continue uninterrupted to the end of it, which the rules and regulations of the service lead me to expect will now shortly be attained. " H. E. F. YOUNG. " Government-house, Adelaide, Aug. 2, 1854." The reply to the address was, as usual, a mere echo of its sentiments, and 'was passed without op position. The must important measure that has been before the council is one to provide for the do fen ceuf the colony. The Govern or had already writteu to England asking fora sten m frigate for th e protection of the colony, and:as() forsome pieces of artillery and 2,000 Minie rifles. To this reclut.s . . a reply hasalrealy been received, stating that the exigencies of the uervice do not enable the British Government to spare us a frigate, and that the Imperial arsenals have been exhausted of thrir Minis rifles to supply the wants of the troops, but that two field pieces and six howiLe.:s would be sent out forthwith, and that our order for 2,000 rifles had been forwarded to a manufacturer with instructions to execute it as Teedilyaspossible. The market for colonial produce was dull, and, notwithstanding the accounts from England of better prices for tallow, there has been no rise. This is, however, accounted for by the difficulty experienced in obtaining vessels. Prices ruled at 501. to 551. for prime mutton, and 451. to 501. for beef tallow. The arrivals of wool were scanty, and prices were from is. to ls. 6]. per lb. The labour market was better supplied, except for domestic servants and suitable bawls for the agricultural and pastoral districts, for which class of persons the demand continued to exceed the supply. The rates of wages ruled as follows : " TOWN WAGES, -Printers' work, per week, from Si. 6s. to 3/. 12s. ; compositors on the stab,' 4/. ; Herald morning paper, long primer, brevier, and nonpareil, equal ised, ls. Bd. per 1,000, and ls. 91. per hour overtime; the Empire's rates are about the same; at these rates men can earn, according to competency, per week, from 51. to 8/. ; painters, per day, 13s. to 16s.

SIR T -HOS. TROWBRIDGE AT INKERMAN. Sever& letters as; wed as the despatch have noticed Major Sir T. Trowb r idge's firm conduct in continuing to give orJere after lie was severely wounded in a battery. But the public are thus only half madcacquainted with his hernia fortitude. His wound was indeed severe. Both aids feet were knocked off by a cannon shot, and in that dreadful condition he continued to eive his orders as if unhurt. REPRESENTATION OF FERSIANAGIL—AII the local " talk" of a contest for the seat vacated by the decease of Sir Arthur Brooke has died away without leaving even an echo of the loud noise it made for a few days past. Lord Henry Loftus is to have a quiet walk over the course. This resolve was taken at an influential meet ing of the gentlemen connected with the county, held on Saturday last, at which a resolution was adopted, to the ,effect that it was " inexpedient': to force on a contest at present. -.~,`. r--
