WORKING MEN, beware of those who offer you clothing at what appears to be very low prices. Before you purchase from them reflect a lltt'e on the moral consequences of the act, and let the fol lowing facts assist you in your reflections : Very cheap cloth is made chiefly from old woollen rags torn up and re-manufactured. Low-priced, but rotten, elothes, are made from this cloth, by un fortunate men and women, who receive for their labour a most wretched pittance - The advantages of this fraud and oppression are entirely absorbed by the men who practise it—hence rapid fortunes and palace-like premises. Are yon working men inclined to be the encouragers and the dupes of s :,c,b dealing? Are y." 14 disposed to assist these men in grinding the faces o f the poor? ray no attention to the puffs, whether in prose or doggrel, that recommend these abominations. Messrs.

I'm light as a fairy—the world too it knows What comfort there's found in the light Summer Blouse B. HYAM determined all others to beat, He rates me too cheap, though my value is great Whilst thousands and thousands he constantly shows The price " three-and-six," for the light Summer Blouse!

'Tis pleasing to recal our nursery tales, Whose secret spell o'er reason's self prevails. " Aladdin's wond'rous Lamp," with matchless glories, Conspicuous stands among our early stories. The many wonders which it wrought when brighten'd, Have many a weary, heavy season lighten'il. Oft has the youthful reader, wond'ring paus'd To think upon the changes which it caus'd. And many a tedious mile would thousands amp, To be possess'd of an "Aladdin's Lamp." But what's "Aladdin's Lamp" to do with MOSES? Why, you shall hear before the subject closes. This wond'rons "Lamp" could not perform a par Half so surprising as the " Wend'rous Mart." The instantaneous transformations here, Are all the conversation far and near. When once a suit of MOSES' clothes you're clad in, A change is wrought as if by fam'd " Aladdin." ' The purchasers from MOSES well-stor'd shelves. So chang'd become they scarcely know themselves. MOSES and SONS' fam'd Dress Mart is display'd The brightest " Lamp" amid the sphere of trade. T.et those who wish to put it to the test, One single trial make, and leave the rest. When once you try, for many a mile you'll tramp To find the rival for " Aladdin's Lamp."

HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT has of late taken great interest In the breeding of _ . the Llama, from which a very flne - wool is obtained. The Cloth made of this is of a peculiarly soft and agreeable texture, and as some curiosity has been raised by the announcement of the registry of a coat under the new Act, by Messrs. NICOLL, of REGENT-STREET, TAILORS to the COURT, it may be marked that such was made of this material. The coat itself is termed the REGISTERED PALETOT, and in its appearance there is nothing very singular, beyond a very gentlemanly neatness, and an absence of all unsightly vulgarity. Upon being submitted at Court it met with high appro bation.—Morning Post, April 19. Amongst the registration of designs according to the new Act, that of a coat is to be found. The notion of securing the particular sub stance and cut of a coat is certainly a new one, but it speaks well for the working of an Act which thus secures the profit of a good judgment and well-directed ingenuity to those to whom alone it is due.—The Times, April 4. The REGISTERED PALETOT, Two Guineas. 114, Regent street, London. GOVERNMENT PROTECTION, under 6 and 7 Vic., cap. G 5, for three years, obtained by H. J. and D. NICOLL, COURT TAILORS, 114, RECENT-STREET, London, for their new introduction, the REGISTERED PALETOT, which is a summer overcoat, light in weight, embracing the convenience and comfort of the wrapper of tweed and its moderate price, without its inelegant and universally-admitted common appearance. The ma terial is of a peculiar softness, made expressly of the finest Llama Wool, and in its fashion is neither trop neglige nor trop habille, but whilst showing to advantage the proportions of. the figure, it cannot encnmber free movement, worn riding or walking: it will also, from the neatness of its form, admit of its being used as a light Frock Coat --a desirable advantage in our warmest summer months, or abroad where heat is found oppressive. H. J. and D. NICOLL, sensitive to the importance of that vade mecum—a moderately-light overcoat in a climate so changeable as that of Great Britain—would not submit to the public the Registered Paletot till themselves were satisfied of its being perfect, and that when used as a pardessus, riding or walking, or as summer frock, the above firm might pledge a reputation, which, gained by matured skill and honoured by royal patronage, Is of some standing. This they can do with safety, as their new introduction, they respectfully submit, will not compromise that characteristic of an English gentleman— the unassumed neatness of his attire. As a wide extended sale is sought, the very moderate price of Two Guineas is fixed. Respectable firms will alone be treated with relative to an agency fer the sale of the Registered Paletot, to whom alone a discount can be allowed. There being a large and increasing demand, many are kept ready in the extensive Warerooms, 114, REGENT-STREET.

FATAL COLLIERY EXPLOSION.—On Saturday last four men, working in Mr. Strick's colliery, were seriously injured by an explosion of inflammable air. One of them, William Thomas, was most seriously hurt, and we regret to say he died yesterday (Tuesday) morning, and the inquest on his body will be held this day (Wednesday). We have heard that much blame is attributed to the agent for not sufficiently ventilating the drift in which the men were working, and we trust the Coroner will do his duty by investigating the truth of this report.—Swansea Paper.

The writ having been read by the Mayor (Mr. Harrison), and other usual formalities gone through, the Mayor called upon the electors to name a candidate for the vacancy caused by the retirement of the Marquis of Blandford. Thomas Robinson, Esq ,of Begbroke, after expressing regret at the retirement of the Marquis of Bland ford, proposed as his successor in the representation of the borough, the Viscount Loftus, whose talents and qualifications he strongly eulogised. And independently of these the Noble Lord came re. commended by local connexion, as well as by ties of relationship, for he was the grandson of that excellent and most amiable man who represented Woodstock in Parliament many years, Sir Henry Dashwood, and nephew to Sir George Dashwood. Mr. Margetts seconded the nomination. He regretted, he sa;d, that an unfore seen cause should have deprived the electors of a representative whose conduct all would admit had been most upright and honour. able.—(Loud cheers.) The Mayor declared Viscount Loftus duly elected. Lord Henry Loftus, who was received with loud cheering, rose and returned thanks for his brother. Three cheers were then given fcr Lord Loftus, the Marquis cf Blandford, and the Mayor, after which Lord Henry Loftus was chaired round the town, pre ceded by a handsome display of banners and a good band of music. ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.—TWO LIVES LOST: On Wednesday evening there was a severe gale, blowing from 6 .1', north, and the river above bridge was very rough, esrr.zlally in the reaches. On the evening in question, about half.past eight o'clock, a four-oared cutter, containing the following pev:arts—Mr. G. H. Brewer, of the King's Head, Lea Bridga i Mr. W. Fox, of 26, Durham-street, Vauxhall; G . , A. James, of Bath Cottages, Camberwell ;; Mr. Alexander Knapp, of No, 34, Stamford-street, and Mr. Thomas Lewen, of No, 4, Mason's-alley, City, was passing down the river from Putney towards London, and had arrived in the reach of Battersea Creek, when a sudden squall upset the boat, and the whole party were immersed in the water. Tho Cries for assistance caused several boats to put off from Battersea, and the first that was saved was Mr. Brewer, who was picked up by a Shatiwell waterman, named Harvey, in a very exhausted condition; Mr. Fox was saved by Chipp ; a Battersea waterman, and Cowden, the boat.builder, succeeded in saving Mr. James. Mr. Knapp and Mr. Lowe!), unfortunately, sank before assistance could reach them, and although the most strenuous exertiaus were made at the time to recover the bodies, by drags and other means, the labour was without tttri beneficial result. The survivors were taken to the Old swan public-house, near the church, Battersea, when; they experienced every attention from Mr. Lenten, the landlord, and were visited by Dr. Ce.nnor.

" Who runs may read." FOREIGN. On Monday evening the King of the French received Lord Cowley, the Duke d'Estissac, the Count de Villegontier, M. Dopin, Viscounts Sebastiani and de Richemont, Barons de Berthols and Mechin, M. Conte, Director General of the Post-office, and the Pre. feet of the Hautes Pyrenees. The Duchess of Orleans, accompanied by the Count de Paris, went on Monday to visit the Musee des Thermes and the Hotel de Cluny. An immense crowd gathered round the Hotel de Cluny, and loudly cheered the young Prince and the Duchess on their departure. Marshal Soult on Tuesday attended the committee on the army estimates. The committee wished him to consent to a reduction of 10,000 men in the effective force of the army, or rather to transfer these 10,000 men to the special budget of Algeria. The Marshal, however, refused to listen to the proposition. The cloth ing of the army, and snore particularly the new tunic, afforded matter for various observations, chiefly on account of the expense occasioned . by,the introduction of this new dress. " The Minister (says the Constitutionncl) endeavoured to justify this reform by stating that the tunic was a better protection of the legs of the sol dier from the cold, and their pantaloons from the mud in marching." Gondrand, the street singer, who was condemned to death in February, for the mureer of the woman who travelled with him as his wife, was executed at Nevers on the 26th. This man affected insanity, and he kept up the deception to the last, but he met his fate with resignation. It is stated in a letter fimm Nevers that an artist, by way of speculation, took a daugerreotype view of the ex ecution—the first instance, it is believed, of such an application of this new art. As the passage•boat was on her way from Ouchy, on the Lake of Geneva, a few days back, having on 'board eight horses and thirty persons, a sudden gust of wind frightened one of the animals, which jumped overboard. The other horses drawn by this act all to one side of the boat caused it to capsize. Two boats immediately put off from the shore, but only twenty persons were saved. A letter from Madrid says:—" The Queen, desiring that the ex. hibition of the products of national industry should take place as speedily as possible, has ordered the opening of it for the Ist in. stead of the 20th of May. She has allowed 40,600 reals (400!.) to.. wards the transport of the articles for exhibition. It appears by an article in a Madrid journal that there are nearly 800 lawyers and advocates in Madrid, and that in all the other towns in Spain they are quite as numerous in proportion to she population. If one-fourth of these persons get their bread by their profession, the Spanish people must be the most litigious in the universe. The exports from Austria into Switzerlond during the year 1843 amounted to 18,000,000 florins (48,000,0000, while the imports from that country were only 2,000,000 florins, or 5,333,333 f. 1641A117 .6.ND POZIOM. In the Court of Queen's Bench, the judgment on Mrs. Pelham, who had been sentenced to six months' imprisonment for the alleged neglect and ill.treatmenl of her illegitimate idiot son, was arrested on the ground that several of the counts in the indictment were bad. A chemist and druggist was convicted and fined, in the Excise Court, for selling spirits of wine without a license. William Johnson, a young man, dressed in the garb of a butcher, was brought up on remand, at Southwark, charged with stealing a quantity of hosiery goods, consisting of silk and satin scarfs, handkerchiefs, Sze. The Court was thronged with shop keepers from all parts of the town, who had been plundered by him. The prisoner, it appeared, had been in the habit of going to various shops, dressed in the garb of a butcher, of stating that he was sent by his master (mentioning the name of some respectable butcher in the neighbourhood), to request that they would send certain goods by him, from which a selection would be made, and that the re. mainder would be returned. He had obtained large quantities of goods by these means. He was fully committed far trial. At the Thames Police.court John Jeffries, the chief mate of the brig Chanticleer, was charged with feloniously assaulting and wounding Charles Johnson, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm at Port Morant, Jamaica, on the Bth of March last. The prisoner, in consequence of some slight altercation, had seized ar formidable weapon, called a " beetle" (a species of heavy mallet) and, weilding it in both hands, struck the prosecutor on the head four or five times, and severely wounded him. From the testimony of various witnesses, it appeared that the assault was of the most savage and ferocious description. lie was committed for trial on the felonious charge of wounding, with intent to do some grievous bodily harm, but was subsequently admitted to bail. COURT-FASHIONABLE. Her Majesty held her second Drawing-room to-day, at St. James's Palace. The Post says :—" We announced yesterday the fact of her Ma. jest) , the Queen Ddwager having issued cards for ad evening party on Monday next, at Marlborough House.

The report of the auditors stated that the income during the year amounted to 7,3521., the payments to 7,102/., and that the outstanding debts had been reduced to 9,557/. From the report of the Council it appeared that great alterations and improvements had been made in the gardens at Chiswick, the great conservatory alone having cost 2,0ee1. Con siderable expense has been incurred in obtaining foreign importa. tions, and in sending out expeditions to collect all that was calcu lated to advance the science of horticulture. A Club for chemical investigation had been formed in connexion with the Society, and from the researches of which great hopes are entertained. After the adoption of the report, the Duke of Devonshire was elected Pre sident, and the members of the Council having been appointed, the melting adjourned.

Yesterday evening a public vestry was held in the vestry room of St. George the Martyr, Southwark, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament against the proposed line of the South. Eastern Railway Extension, that is intended to cross the Kent road, but if it should be passed into a law, then that the parish and inhabitants be protected from any loss in the rata, &c. A petition to Parliament against the proposed line was agreed to, and the meeting separated. Yesterday afternoon a fire broke out in an unfinished house, used as a carpenters' work-shop, and filled with building materials for three houses, situate in Granby-street, East India. road, Poplar, the property of Mr. James Layden. Phe flames originated in the back part of the lower rooms, from the boiling over of a glue-pot. i i The contents of the building being of t he most nflammal. character, the fire travelled throughout the house with m . - ,re than usual rapidity ; and in less than a quarter of an ho'• r after the first discovery of the flames every portion of fh.6 premises , with the i contents therein, were enveloped n ' 7:an - les.

The total de crease f ar the quarter. was 1,136,138 dollars. The importations this season have been nearly as large as for the same time last year, while the duties have fallen off about 20 per cent. The importatiena have only diminished about 7 per cent. To have brought about this state of things, the average rate of duty upon the imports must have been very much reduced. the impor tations of free goods the first quarter this year were much larger than for the same quarter last year, but the increase was not sufficient to have made so wide a difference in the duties. The average rate of duty is annually decreasing, and in time a reduction to a revenue standard must be made. The folly of attempting to get an increased customs revenue, by the imposition of d ut i es beyond what it is the interest of the importer to pay, is illustrated here as well as in every other instance, and if the writer of the New York Herald thinks to mend the matter by a further increase, he will not be long in receiving fuller confirmation than ever of the truth of Swift's axiom, that two and two do not always make four. The position of the English Stock Market is more vacil lating than was the case a month since, when the same value was supported for a week together; but the speculators ate aided in their operations by various political matters of some moment that have recently been passing in foreign coun tries. Consols have been down to 98/ upon rather a large sale made, but are now at 987. Time bargains have been effected at 98').'g %. The premium upon Exchequer-billy has been 575. to 605., which is a slight advance. Bank Stock is 210 1 4 to 209, and India Stock 27614 to 278.
