MOSES and SON, at the conclusion of each year, make a iTactice of reviewing the progress which they may have aiade, and of ac knowledging the same in a plain business address to their supporters. If such, however, were not the general practice of the proprietors, there would be every reason, on thi present occasion, to issue a "spe cial circular" as an acknowledgment for those obligationslwhich have been so apparent in the year 1819. A glance at the past twelve months is sufficient to convince the proprietors that their Establishment is daily rising in the estimation of a discerning public. To no period can E. :110:ES and SON rarer hi:which every en couragement has not been affordeitto them. Each of the four wiccessive seasons of the year has had its amount of public favour, and no declension er fluctuation has at any Ili% been apparent. A mong t h e recor d s of the past year must be name the establishment of Two Branch llouses (the one in Sheffield, and the other in Bradford), and the partial completion of a Metropolitan Branch !louse at the West End. It is scarcely necessary to allude to the circumstances which led to these steps being taken. The name of the proprietors being every where known and approved, a most extensive country connexion was the necessary conseqience ; and as two favourable opporunities presented themse ves, the proprietors availed themselves of the same; and studied, thereby, their own interests mutual) , with those of their supporters. The inconvenience of distance was at once rem ived, and the advantages accruing frotn a purchase of MOSES and SON'S dress secured to numbers who otherwise could not, without sending to town, have realised the same. The Bradford Branch House has now been in operation for nearly twelve months; and so successfel has it proved throughout this period, thst E. MOSES and SON flint it difficult to express their feelings of satisfaction and gratitude under the encouraging eircum- I /mem It was considered by many persons who were witne.ses of the opening and subsequent scenes at this llouse, that the suc cess attendant on the speculation was without precedent in the annals of trade. What has been said concerning the Bradford Branch Is, in every sense, applicable to that at Sheffield, which has been established nine months. To imagine that anything short of real merit could have produced all this, would c. rtainly be a cenclus on not at all warrante by reason. The perchases made on the opening days at these Branch Establishments would have soon caused a diminution of asllyupport, had net sound quality and general superiority been re apparent. So satisfactory, however, were the goods obtained —so thoroughly were all nromises fulfilled, as to qualty and cheap- P 4,5, a, that all classes in these imperant localities rallied rouad the Pr oprietors, and heartily backed the speculations with their cmii tenanee and support. It has al ready been stated that the Metropolitan Branch, in the Rest End, which will be opened in the Spring, is the result of an increasing public demand for the goods supplied by the Proprietors. Such is a correct statement. Nothing but a positive assurance that melt an extension is really required would have led E. MOSES and SON to have added thus to their London speculations, which, apart Tom that under consideration, had no equal in the world. Not to acknowledge obligations so essential would be tantamonnt :o a forfeiture of nll future favours. But E. MO-E 3 and SON are •esolved to convince the public, both by word and action, that their tumerous favours are grateful:y received. The Proprietors hold out no false hopes to the public, when dating, that the year 1850 will be distinguished for improvements ind advantages on a scale more advantageous than has ever yet been !xperienced. It is by this means alone that E. MOSES and SON tope to secure future support from those who have so liberally a deg Item. The Proprietors might particularise those arrangements for be coining seasons which arc already ill progress. They have In pr paration a stock of Spring and Summer Dress, which, for cheapness, utility, and elegance, was never surpassed. [hey would also impress upon the notice of the public those variene trticles which ore now on sale for the winter season. They have to he.itation in asserting that such an assortment is not to be met vith ellewheee in the trade. E. MOSES and SON, in conclusion, would wish all classes of heir supporters in every sense " a happy new year" —a year free rom these party international broils abroad, and those poThical dis • elisions at home, which cannot fail to operate inimically with our , unmereial trading and domestic well being. The proprietors trust hat those who aid them, together with those who are not numbered tmong their supporters, may have to declare, when the clock strikes v•eivs on the night of the 31st of December next, that the year ; 7, 0 has proved .e them a year of uninterrupted peace, prosperity.

This is an essential spirit, drawn Cram aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her bary, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and gentry, by whom it in highly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read in his pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed, Mich pamphlet has the signature of William Grimstone, Merchant, Herbary, Highgate, and will he found at, page 11, un•fer the copy of Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the "Times" newspaper, 7th of August, 1846. _ _ . . _ This pamphlet is forwarded through thu post, on receiving two postage stamps. . _ _ The Arounitic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on receiving a post office order for 4s.

Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age, you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward, clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the cause —the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff! and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Qatar ,ct, Nervous Beadach, and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67 cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of oppression; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq., altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by Berries, V sq., to Mr. William Grimstone, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was on account ( , f its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis ters, within the reach of every poor family. But tinder this order of Government it is obliged to be stamped.

II One half the world are desolately single, and the other .apposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a tense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em -Itter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea 4 caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret an oasprosteg harry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, 4nd broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness 4nd social content. Tho dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form au item 4'l the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er -eglect weend more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

STRANGE AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Thursday last Thomas Toon, a watchmaker living in Coventry street, about 58 years of age, whose duty it was to wind up the Guildhall clock daily, went up for that purpose about eleven o'clock, A.M. Ile was seen to ascend up stairs into the roof by some persons at work in the lower part of the building, but no notice was taken of his neglecting to return till six o'clock in the evening, when his wife sent to the surer intendent, Merrefi e ld, to i nqu i re about him, as she had not seen him since the morning. At his direction Set , geant Lloyd went up into the loft to look after him, and he was then found lying stretched on his back on the clock floor quite dead. The back of his head was badly cut from having come in contact with a beam, and there was a mark on his cheek bone, as if he had been struck there by one of the weights, which were large pieces of stone, and one of them, weighing about 601 b., was found broken to pieces. He had no douLt been meddling with the weights, but the manner in which the accident occurred is quite inexplicable, and it is singular that a number of carpenters working in the room beneath should have heard not the slightest noise throughout the day.— ll'orcoter Herald.

STATE OF TRADE.—MANCHESTER, MONDAY.— Notwithstanding the Christmas holidays, the amount of business done to-day has been above the average of former years. There is an advance on yarns and heavy fabrics, which are more firmly held, and higher rates are being obtained. Several spinners to-day refuse to operate except at higher rater . On some lighter goods, figured, twilled, and printed cloths, remunerative prices are obtained, and the manufscturers hold heavy orders. These descriptions of goods were greatly depressed in 11147. The fears generally felt a few weeks ago of the continued high price of the raw material are again re vived from the state of the Liverpool cotton market. The price of middling Orleans at this date was, in 1843, sii.; 1844, 4d.; 1845, 4d.; 1846, 60.; 1847, 44d. ; 1848, 4d.; while to-day it is 6kd. It is reported this afternoon that, on counting the stock of cotton in Liver pool (which is done at the close of each year), the brokers find 88,000 bales more than their accounts of receipts and sales had led them to expect. If this be correct, it will be a seasonable addition to the light estimate of the stock on hand. REMOVAL OF POLICE MAGISTRATES.--Yesterday Gilbert a'Beckett, Esq., the recently-appointed magis trate at Greenwich (in the room of the late Mr. Jeremy), was removed from that court to the Southwark Police court, where he has for some time assisted Mr. Seeker, who now will sit at Greenwich. 'rho latter gentleman has lately suil.red much from ill health, and it is stated that he has exchanged with Mr. a'Beckett by the desire of his physician. The Government have determined to decrease the number of police magistrates to twenty for the metropolitan district, by not filling up vacancies as they occur by resignation or death. Mr. a'Beckett, will therefore, be asAsted by magistrates from all the other police-courts in regular rotation. It is stated that two of the senior magistrates will shortly resign, which will add considerable labour to the duties of the other ma gistrates, as their places will not be filled up. It may be mentioned as a proof of the good order with which the lower classes observed Christmas, that there was not a charge of any kind brought forward at the Magistrates' offices during t h e week.-4ssex Ilera'd. [PRICE SD. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE, - - TILE STEAM-FRIGATE SIIARRIE, &C. PORTSMOUTII. DEC. 31, 1849. —lt appears by letters from Egypt that the retrograde movement which set in with the reign of Abbas Pasha is still going on. W e are inform-d that ihtfuz Bey, the commodore of the Shlrkie, has been sent to the White Nile—i. e., to banishment; which was speedily followed by his murder, as custo , nary in such cases. The alleged ground of this, and of Mohammed Bey's degradation, is the long time that the Sharkie was detained in England to have her engines fitted, the expense consequent thereon, &c. The punishment is most unjust, for neither the Egyptians nor the engi neers who fitted the engines were able to dispatch the work in the time required, owing to the great pressure of engineering work in England at the time the ship was here. The whole seems to have been instigated by French intrigue—Frenchmen who hold offices under the Government and Egyptians who have been educated in France being the movers. The result of the liberal policy on which the late Mehemet Ali proceeded, in having young men educated in England and in France to fill places of trust in Egypt, is now being abused to stir up a general hostility on national partialities against all who hare been educated in Europe. It is clear that the late far-seeing Pasha considered he should by such an arrangement accumulate skill from the different countries, and it appears that the skill obtained from England has preponderated. lie was, as is well known, an acute discriminator of in dixidual merit, and 'obsttried &is ;'and daring his reign an intrigue was formed- ,to discredit in his regard the persons who had been in. England; but he saw through the attempt, and the effort failed. It does not seem that Abbas is yet aware of the motives in which the hostile feelings towards some of his servants who have been in England have originated, nor of the danger ofacting on those feelings. National jealousy lies at the bottom, and the result is the loss of talent and worth, which he has not the means of realising elsewhere. The Devastation steam-frigate, after passing about fifteen months in dock, was taken out to•day, after incurring expenses for repairs to the tune of something approaching 14,0001. " But then," said our informant, " she i s a new s hi p aga i n now. " She was only launched in 1841, and has served the time of only one good commission since. The Terrible steam-frigate, Captain Hope, ar rived at Spithead this morning from the river, much improved in appearance since she was last here. The " reduction" of the stack of chimneys, and the sub stitution of one sensible looking funnel, is a feature more in accordance with " shipshape" ideas.— Times. The Adventure transport, Master Commander Wellington, arrived from the river this afternoon. She will sail to-morrow for Plymouth, and ship stores for the Coast of Africa squadron. The Bungalore convict ship, for Leveton Bay, em barked convicts for that penal colony from the Stirling Castle and other hulks this morning. The Comet steam surveying vessel, Commander Otter, arrived in the night from the Irish coast to refit. PLYMOUTH, Dac. 29.—Her Majesty's brig Brito mart, Commander Chamberlayne, was on Wednesday towed alongside the jetty, preparatory to her being paid off on Monday next. Her masts are unshipped and sent into the yard for examination. It is reported that her Second Lieutenant will shortly be tried by court-martial on board her Majesty's ship Impreg nable for disobedience of orders. It was intended that her Majesty's ship Indefati gable, Captain Smart, should have been this day towed out of llamoaze, and her bridles were slipped, and the Confiance steam tug lashed alongside, when a report was brought that the moorings in Barn pool were not fit to receive her, and she,then was re-moored in Hamoaze. By letters from Port Royal, dated November 18, it appears that her Majesty's Frigate Alarm had ar rived there all safe, after a passage of forty-eight days, from Plymouth. The Arethusa will b,4 taken out of dock on Tues day, and be masted f.or commission. The Octavia, hating refitted fur ordinary, has been towed to her mcorings by the Confiance.

Miss Courtenay Boyle and party were then conducted to the Investigator, where they were received by Commander M'Clure, and, after going over the vessels and witnessing the ample preparations made for the for the relief of the missing voyagers, and the quantities of preserved meats and potatoes which have been ship ped, they left Woolwich highly gratified with their visit. Lady Franklin intended visiting the vessels to-day with the relatives of Sir John Franklin, but was detained in town in correspondence with some of the naval authorities. The Enterprise was taken out of the inner basin to. dav, and will be taken into the stream to-morrow. The Violet Dover mail stentn-packet was taken ou of dock to-day, and the Lizard taken into dock.

ACCIDENT TO PROFESSOR SEDGWICK.--W O regret to have to state that an accident of a serious character occurred to Professor Sedgwick on Monday, December 24. The professor was on his return to Cambridge by the Huntingdon-road, between two and three o'clock, wh• n, between How-house and the turnpike, and on a slight descent, the horse trod upon a round stone, slipped up, and rolled over. The Professor fell, and the horse fell partially upon him. On regaining his feet the Pro fessor's first impulse was to catch the horse, and in this he succeeded; and it was not until he went to take the rein on his right area to lead the animal home that he discovered that the bone was fractured between the elbow and the shoulder. The knees of the horse were badly cut, and in this lamentable condition the Professor reached the turnpike, leading his steed. On his arrival at the gate a fly was sent for, and the Professor was conveyed to his rooms. Mr. Humphrey, surgeon, was in immediate attendance, and reduced the fracture, which is a simple one, and we are happy to be enabled to add that the latest accounts represent the patient as pro ceeding favourably. The Professor was riding at an easy canter at the time of the occurrence. He was, in addition, seriously bruised by the fall.—Cambridge Chronicle.

Like many individuals wh have risen to eminence, the infancy or puppyhood of " Dan Tucker" is hurled in obscurity. The mcst diligent research has been unable to ascertain whether Portsmouth, Portsea, Landport, or Southsea, can claim the honour o being the place of his birth. The first authentic • trace of him which can be found is at Fort Cum berland, where he appeared about three years age. Torough some kindness shown to him by a few of the Marine Artillery at that station, he conceived a most remarkable predilection for the corps, an attachment which he continues to maintain to the present day, with the most unswerving fidelity. When the men to whom he had become attached were ordered to Portsmouth, " Tucker" followed his benefactors, and speedily became as great a favourite at the head quarters of the corps as he had b , en at the furl. He first brought himself into notice by the penchant which he displayed for accompanyinn large I ) dins of men, a practice which he soon carried to such a height that not a drill squld could leave the barracks without Tucker in cotnpany. Wh en th e corps went to church Tucker marched at its head, his usual sportiveness gone, and grave and stately as a drum • major. Arri ve d a t the garrison chapel, h e en t ere d the sacred precincts alo ,g with the men, and behaved with as much decorum during sermon as Burns' celebrated dog, whose "Locket lettered brew brass collar, Showed him the gentleman and scholar," could possibly have done. Service being over he re sumed his place at the head of the column, marched back into barracks, and saw it properly haulted and dismissed before he left the parade. Such conduct endeared him to both officers and men, while his abilities as a rat-hunter made him a prime favourite with the commanding officer. He used regularly to visit the barrack room at the dinner hour, with a view, it is said, of ascertaining, by personal inspection, that the men's provisions were of a proper quality. No mercenary motive can be imputed to bim for this habit ; but, on the contrary, a most zealous desire to perform his duty, for it is stated and avowed as a positive fact, that when he visits the guard•roOm (which he-486ton alders s part of his daily duty) he uniformly refuses to receive any portion of a married man's provisions, from a conscientious feeling that they should be re served for other purposes. He evinces a most critical knowledge of the various trumpet calls ; if " the assembly" sounds,]Tucker instantly makes his appear ance in bis accustomed station, but all the other calls he treats with the most supreme indifference, with, perhaps, the exception of the dinner one. He is eminently a soldier's dog ; let a civilian attempt to make friends with him, and he will show his teeth in a manner not to be mistaken. The only fault which can be imputed to him is, that hi allows his preju dices to carry him too far in this respect, especially if the civilian should be of a shabby exterior, for when such present themselves in barracks, he immediately attacks them vigorously to drive them out, which plainly demonstrates that he has a great repugnance to low company. Last summer, during the beat of the dog-days, a proclamation was issued by the mayor, as is usual at that season, that all dogs should be muzzled : poor Tucker, being uprovided with that most annoying piece of apparel, a muzzle, was seized by a " blue bottle," while making his usual perambulation to the guard house, and carried off, nolens relent, to the public office ; of course, protesting indignantly, in his own peculiar style, against such ungentlemanly usage. The intelligence was brought to the barracks that Tucker was in the bands of the Philistines. The excitement was immense. What was to be done ? Every one was in confusion, and, consequently, no plan of action could be decided upon, although a hundred voices proposed a hundred different schemes for his recovery. At length it was resolved to start a subscription, which was immediately carried into effect, and the necessary funds for his release were forthcoming on the spot. A deputation than started for the police-office, who became bail for Daniel Tucker, and bore him off in triumph. But even with all his amiable qualities, and still more amiable prejudices, poor Tucker managed to make a most uncompromising foe, and that, too, in the marine artillery. He got shut, accidentally, into the premises occupied as a barber's shop, ard not relishing such close quarters, he made his exit by bolting through a pane of glass in (me of the windows. This was sufficient to awaken the most determined hostility on the part of the barber, which manifested itself in sundry kicks amid curses whenever oppor tunity occurred. At length, in an unwary moment, Tucker again entered the sanctum of the barber and that merciless fellow, seizing a poker, dealt him a blow that broke his leg. The news flew through the barracks like wildfire ; public indignation was at the boiling point— some proposed to "hang the barber," but that was instantly rejected, as being too lenient ; tearing to pieces by steam-engines, or boil ing in the wash-house coppers, were among the mildest proposals that could be listened to. A report of the circumstvnce was made to the commanding officer, who, viewing the delinquent's conduct with the utmost horror, suspended his judgment until he should consider of some jainishment adequate to the enormity of the offence. In the meantime poor Tucker's leg had been humanely set by the surgeon ; he is wrapped in a couple of great coats, placed by the fire in one of the barrack rooms, arid considered as an outpatient of the infirmary. But even now, when " the assembly "sounds, poor Dan will hop out upon three legs, and take his accustomed station, although he can hardly yet be considered a conva lescent.—Hampshire Telegraph NOVEL SPORT--A GOAT HUNT. On the 14 inst. the echoes of " the beetling cliffs of Gamrie Head" were waked up by the baying of dogs, the firing of guns, and all the excitement of a regular hunt. From an early hour in the morning till nearly dusk upwards of a score of men might he seen scrambling along the rocks overhanging the sea, and every now and then a flash was visible, as a gun went off with the muzzle pointed against a group of horned and bearded quadrupeds, which scampered about and capered from rock to rock at the discharge of the firearms. The animals shot at were a herd of goats, which inhabit the locality, and which, having been allowed to roam about, tOr gars on the alinest inaccessible el:fis which there stern the fide s of the Moray Frith, on the scanty herbage of which they manage to feed, have become wild. The first pair, we believe, were brought to the district some ten years ago, by Mr. Fordyce, one of the tenants on the estate of bVhitehills, and being suffered to feed among the rocks, they have increased to such a number, and have become so wild in their habits that they frequently make a descent, during the night, upin the farms in the neighbourhood,committing extensive ravages in the corn and turnip fields, and making off to the fastnesses on being disturbed, or on the approach of morning. Annoyed at the frequency and destructive nature of these visits, a party assembled on the morning above mentioned, resolved on checking the ravages of the invaders, by thinning their numbers. The party mustered twelve guns, and had several dogs, and, connnencing operations about ten o'clock in the fore noon, kept up the :port till four in the afternoon, when it was found that they had brought down eight goats. To any one acquainted with the locality, it is scarcely necessary to say that the sport was of the most exciting character. The party had not only to - exhibit the utmost watchfulness in order to come upon the animals, but they had to exercise the utmost care that they themselves did not mica their footing, and thereby nuke a pluLge-bath of the Moray Faith, which washol the rocks over which they clambered. Notwithstanding the number killed on this occasion, the herd still remains in great force, and should any of our southern friends be anxious for a day's sport, of a much more exciting nature than grouse shooting or deer stalking, we think we may safely promise them a cordial welcome, unless, indetd, in the interim, a Bill be introduced and passed through the Legisla ture, declaring goat s t o b e game, and ranking them in the same category with " woodcocks,snipes, quails, landrails, wild ducks, or conies."—Banffshire Journal.
