MOSES and SON, elusion of each h 3ae v a a r, make a practice of reviewing the progress which °n they may made,. 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 the present occasion, to issue " spe cial circular" as an acknowledgment for those obli g al a ionstwhich have been so app trent 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. 510;ES and SON refer in which every en c o u c r a ti c g l e , ionfe the e h i a o s i, i r i o t been afforded to them. s d :ccessive seasons of the year has had its amount of public favour, no declension or fluctuation has at t' Been apparent. • Among sa toe records of the past year must be nag 'me the establishment of Two Branch Houses (the one in Shemeit i rg the other in Bradford), and the partial completion of a Metropolitan Branch House at the West End. It is scarceiy necessary to allude to the elretunstaoceo , every to these steps being ta ken. The name of the proprietors being where known and approved, a most extensive country connexion was the necessary consequence ; and as two favourable opporunities presented themse ves, the proprietors availedinterests mutual with those of their supporters. The inconvenience of distanc purchase e was at of once rem wed, and the advantages accruing from a MOSE; 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 successful has it proved throughout this period, that E. MOSES and SON find it difficult to express their feelings of satisfaction and gratitude under thens encouraging eircmses - s ;meas. It was consid ered by many perso who witne u s of the opening and subsequent scenes at this House, that the suc cess attendant on the s p eculation 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 conclus on not at all warranted reason. The purchases made on the days at these Branch by Establishmeots would have soon causedopening a diminution of support, had uot sound quality and general superiority be en I en really apparent. So satiaf aetor y , however, were the goods obta —so thoroughly were all promises fulfilled, as to quaity and cheap- 1 nese, that all classes in these important localities rallied round the i Proprietors, and heartily backed the speculations with their cmn- tenanoe and support. It has already been s tated that the Metropol it a n Branch, e in th West End whic will e ope ned in the Spr in g , Is the result of an increasing , public h deman b d for the goods supplied ve ti by thessuranc Proprie that etors. osi a Such is a correct statement . Nothing but a p such an extension Is really required would have led E. MOSES and SON to have added thus to their London speculations, which, apart from that under consideration, had no equal in the world. Nato acknowledge obligations so essential would be tantamount to a forfeiture of all future favours. But E. 51.0sES and S'ON are resolved to convince the public, both by word and action, that their P numero us favours arc grat efull y received. to the , when Th e Proprietors hold out no false hopes rovements stating, that the yea r 1850 will he distinguished for imp and advantages on it scale more advantageous than has eyer yet been experienced. It is by this meana alone the E. MOSES and S')iy hope to secure future support from those who have so liberally a'ded them. The Proprietors might particularise those arrangements for the coming seasons wh ich are already in progress. They have in preparation a stock of Spring and Summer Dress, which, for cheapness, utility, and elegance, was never surpassed, They would also Impress upon the notice of the public those various articles which are now on sale for the winter season. They have no h e •itation ia asserting that such an assortment is not to be met with els.ewhe:e in the trade. E. MOSES and SON, in conclusion, would wish all classes of tromp supporters In every sense " a happy new year "—a year free from these party international broils abroad, and those political die • sensions at home, which cannot fail to operate inimically with our commercial trading and domestic well being. The proprietors trust that those who aid them. together with those who are not numbered amoog their supporters, may have to declare, when the clock strikes twelve on the night of the 31st of December next, that the year 1850 has proved to them a year of uninterrapted peace, prosperity, and happiness. A Medal, containing an Almanac for the year 1850, wil be pre and to every customer. rIgT O F PRICES BEADY MADE.

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 fer 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 Gemstone's Eye inuff ! and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Cataract, Nervous Readach, 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, Fsq., to Mr. William Gemstone, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis ters, within the reach of every poor family. But ander this order of Government it is obliged to be stamped.

STRANGE AND FATAL ACCIDENT.-011 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. He 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 wile sent to the super intendent, Merrefield, to inquire about him, as she had not seen him since the morning. At his direction Ser 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 doubt 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.— Worcester Herald.

DEC. 31, 1849. —lt appears by letters from Egypt that the retrograde ing.vement which set in with the reign of Abbas Pasha is still going on. We are inform d that Hafuz Bey, the Commodore of the Sharkie, has been sent to the White Nile—i. e., to banishment ; which was speedily followed by hil murder, as customary 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 pre.sure of engineering work in England at the time the ship was here. The s hole 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 plaoes of trust in Egypt, is now being abused to stir up a general hostility on national partialities against all who have 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. He was, as is well known, an acute discriminator of in dividual merit, and observed this ; 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 of acting 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 14,000 t. " But then," said our informant, " she is a new ship again 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 fur 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, Dgc. 29.--Iler Majesty's brig Brito mart, Commander Chamberlayne, was on Wednesday towed alongside the jetty, preparatory to ber 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 Hamoaze, 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•mcored 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 be taken out of dock on Tues day, and be masted for commission. The Octavio, having refitted for ordinary, has been towed to her moorings by the Confiance. Wind—North-west; fine weather. WOOLWICH, Dxc. 31.—The Right Hon. Sir T. F. Baring, Bart., and Rear-Admiral Dundas, C. 8., returned to their official duties at the Admiralty to day. Captain Lord John Hay, C. 8., returns on Wednesday. The Hon. Miss Courtenay Boyle, Mrs. Brodie, and the Misses Boddington, Spring-gardens, near relations of Captain Sir John Franklin, visited Wool wich Dockyard to-day, accompanied by ',Commander terprise, where they were received by ,Uaptain C Eol linion, C 8., and shown all the proparvitions making on board that vessel preparatory to prckceeding on a searching expedition to Behring s Straits, The Hon. Miss Courtenay Boyle and party were the" 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 day, and will be taken into the stream to-morrow. The Violet Dover mail steam-packet was taken out of dock to-day, and the Lizard taken into dock. COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS CLUB. --• Yesterday 8 meeting of commercial travellers was held at the London Tavern, for the purpose of considering the propriety of establishing a central club-house in the metropolis, for the benefit of the above-named class, which is computed to approximate to thirty thousand in number for the entire kingdom. Mr. A. H. Moore, of Gray's Inn, oc cupied the chair, and pointed out the necessity that existed for the establishment in the great metropolis of a central home for commercial travellers, where they could communicate with one another, and receive or deliver letters without any extraordinary delay. A resolution was moved by Mr. Rumsey, in a lengthened address, explanatory of the objects of the proposed institution, and which were to the following effect:— " That a club-house, with dormitories, &c., and which shall be exclusively appropriated to the promotion of the comfort and convenience of the commercial travellers of the United Kingdom, be established in a central part of the city of London, thereby meeting the universally admitted necessity for some gathering point in the me.- tropolis; that such shall be conducted in an unostenta tious and consistently economical manner, but with due and close regard to substantial respectability and com fort, and which, with its reading rooms and appropriate library, will promote habits of mutual and intelligent intercourse that cannot fail to bo of advantage to its members generally, hence to the trade of the country and society generally." Having been seconded by Mr. James, the motion was unanimously agreed to. The proceedings terminated with the appointment of a com mittee to carry out the foregoing resolution. ACCIDENT TO PROFESSOR SRDOWICK.We 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, when, between How-house and the turnpike, sad 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 ho succeeded; and it was not until he went to take the rein on his right aria 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. Tho Professor was riding at an easy canter at the time of the occurrence. He was, in addition, seriously bruised by the fall.—Cambridge Chronicle. Oux STATUES.—There are two very prominen ob jects in the centre of our renowned city (London) which seem to be little cared for. I mean the statues of our beloved Queen and the Duke of Wellington. I have been taught that statuary marble is a suitabl e emblem of l purity; but the marble statue of the Queen in the Rclya Exchange denotes anything but that; the dingy, gr imy . & a c "lingering look almost forbids appearance persona behind. Oh, Sir, what sort of opinion w il l our country tll taste from drapery,om taking cousins and forbigners form, wh o . may vis it our metro polis during the Christmas . holidays, when they see Majesty in a condition so pitiable, and the Noble Duke close by, the greatest general of the age, and a man of mettle, exhibiting almost the appearance of a sweep with a soot bag wrapped around him? Really, Sir, I think soap, sodalmter, and other requisites may be obtained at something less than war prices. I do, there. fore, most sincerely hope that these few hints will be sufficient to stimulate our worthy City authorities, with out any delay, to pay those necessa r y li tt l e attent i ons to royalty and merit, and prevent any further reference to the subject.—Correspondent of the Builder.

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. Se►eral spinners to-day refuse to operate except at higher rates. On some lighter goods, figured, twilled, and printed cloths, remunerative prices are obtained, and the manufacturers hold heavy orders. These descriptions of goods were greatly depressed in 1847. 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, 518.; 1844, 4c1.; 1645, 4d.; 1846, 6j-d.; 1847, 41d. ; 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 Or 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. The latter gentleman has lately sutured 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 assisted 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 gistrate's, as their places will not be filled up. It may be mentioned as a proof of the good %rder with which the lower classes observed Christmas, that there was not a charge of any kind brought forward at the Magistrates' office during the week.—Essex Herald. TILLERYMEN'S DOG. luals wh have risen to eminence, 7hood of "Dan Tucker" is buried mcst diligent research has been whether Portsmouth, Portsea, i ndport, or Southsea, can claim the honour o Aug 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. Through some kindness shown to him by a few of the Marine Artillery at that station, he conceived a most remarkabl e predilection fur 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 corp as he had been at the fbrt. lie first brought himself into notice by the penchant which he displayed for Eccompanying• large b aiies of men, a practice which he soon carried to such a height that not a drill squad could leave the barracks without Tucker in company. When the .corps went to church Tucker marched at its head, his usual sportiveness gone, and grave and stately as a drum • major. Arrived at the garrison chapel, he entered the sacred precincts along with the men, and behaved with as much decorum during sermon as Burns' celebrated dog, whose "Locket lettered brew brass collar, £h:,wed 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 14 -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 qualit y. No mercenary motive can be imputed t o hi m f o r 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 be also con siders a 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. Ile evinces a most critical knowledge of the various trumpet calls ; if " the assembly" sounds,iTucker instantly makes his appear ance in his 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 he allows his preju dices to carry bim 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 heat of the dog-days, a proclamation was issued by the mayor, as is usual at that sea-on, 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 rolens, 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 hands 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 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 then started for the police-office, who became bail for Daniel Tucker, and bore him off in triumph. I3ut even with all his amiable qualities, and still snore amiable prejudices, poor Tucker managed to wake a most uncompromising foe, and that, too, in the marine artillery. Ile 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 one of the windows. This was sufficient to awaken the most determined hostility on the part of the barber, which manifested itself in sundry kicks and curses whenever oppor tunity occurred. At length, in an unwary moment, Tucker again entered the sanctum of the barber and thvt 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 ; tt aring to pieces by steam-engines, or boil ing in the wash• house coppers, were among the mildest proposal. that could be listened to. A report of the circumstance 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 punishment 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 ths. barrack rooms, and considered as an outpatient of the 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.—lianipshire Telegraph NOVEL SPORT -A GOAT HUNT. On the Ist 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 be 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 for years on the almost inaccessible cliffs which there stem the tides of the Moray Frith, on the scanty herbage of which they manage to feed, have become wild. The first pair, e believe, were brought to the district some ten years ago, by Mr. Fordyce, one of the tenants on the estate of ►Vhitehills, 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, upon 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. A nnoytd 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, commencing operations about ten o'clock in the fore noon, kept up the sport 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 riot 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 miss their footing, and thereby make a plunge-bath of the Moray Frith, which washed 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, indeed, in the interim, a Bill be introduced and passed through the Legisla ture, declaring goats to be game, and ranking them in the same category with " woodcocks,snipes, quails, landrails, wild ducks, or conies."—Banffshire Journal. LIYERPOOL..--TH 13 THREATENED OUP readers are aware that during the last week or two ex pectation has been on tiptoe in reference to a flood which had been predicted by a professor of m athematics at Lymington, as a necessary consequence of the sun and moon being coincidentally in a position such u would originate a great tidal wave of unusual height about this date. Throughout the country alarm has been general; and, although. astronomers royal and re nowned, including Mr. Airy, Professor Nichol!, and Sir W. A. Hamilton, e ndeavoured to dispel the presumption established in the public mind, yet many refused to be cpmforted. In some quarters bordering on the sea coast, and on the banks of rivers, precautions were very generally instituted ; and almost all refused to sur render their minds to incredulity touching the flood. Curiosity was at least excited to unusual li.iine BS, the m.)re especially as the stormy and perturbed character of atmospheric phenomena seemed to forebode some un usual movement in the domain of nature. The sensation in Liverpool was not less strong than elsewhere, we be lieve; and on Saturday numbers sought the piers to gau upon the river, only, however, to meet with disappoint ment. The food ran high, and its bosom rol:ed and heaved wildly before the force of a swift and strong wind from the north-east; but the piers were lot submerged, the leviathan landing•stage did not drag its anchors, nor, when the waves had ebbed, was it found, like the ark on Ararat, perched upon the top of the George's Baths. In short, the Mersey was as quiet and as orderly as could be desired by those whose property lay upon its banks. Still, however, the springs of the two succeeding days have yet to be encountered; and certainly their estimated level is higher than that of past tides.—Liverpool THE EXPECTED NIGH TIDES.-BRISTOL, MON' DIY.-It had been predicted that this morning's tide would have been the highest on rscord in this locality; such, however, has not proved to be the fact. The tides yesterday and to day have been higher certainly than ord:nary, but higher tides have been known at Cumberland-basin. The tide yesterday (Sunday) morning was higher than it was this morning.
