The military manceuvres at Chobham have created an amazing QUitement. The presence of Re) alty and the respects paid to their beloved Sovereign by the several divisions of the ttritish Army, Was as effective as the uncommon illustration of how battle fields Were lost or won. Thousands on thousands crowded to these sights, and every class in society shared the interest of this vast display. Every observer felt the force of the fact that dress constituted the principal feature of this magnificent affair, and to every one was ap. P, arent the mighty advance made in the tailoring art within the last n , lf century. The fact will not be questioned that E. MosEs and Sox have been the originators of all modern improvements in attire of every descrip tion—Military Costumes, Naval Uniforms, and thousands of novel. ties in Gentlemen's Dress ; in fact, there is not a season, an occasion, or a prolession, but for that E. MosEs and Sox make the most mag nificent and ample provision, and they charge all goods at much lower prices than other houses that competition is entirely unavailing. E. Moses and SoN's unrivalled JUVENILE ATTIRE furnishes the greatest advantages to Parents and Guardians, it is more pleas ing, fashionable, comfortable, and serviceable than any other for - Young* Gentlemen obtained elsewhere, and the present stock even surpasses all previous displays—the very superior quality of the Materials and workmanship united with the best principles of mil °TtlY and universal recommendations. With equal appropriateness the above applies to the novel and gigantic stock of H ATS and CAPS, with every elegant description of HOSIERY, BOOTS atcl SHOES, &C. &c., presented by E. MOSES and Sox. WHAT IS DONE WITH THE GOLD ? In one week one million five hundred thousand pounds valve in gold was received from Australia, yet the bullion at the Bank of England decreases. The purposes of commerce call into circula tion a vast proportion of precious metals. Diggers, however suc cessful, cannot overstock the market. What should be done with the gold previous to em'farkation ? At E. Mons and SoN's the beat, the most complete, the most useful and indispensible Outfits map be procured on considerably less gold than might be expended elsewhere. The greatest advantages are derived from investments of gold in the Clothing mann actured by E. %lons and Sox, which is cele brated in all the colonies. Merchants, Captains, and Emigrants should inspect tho largest Wholesale Clothing Establishment in the World, that is E. MosEs and Sores. Ship sailing information and lull Lists of Outfits for Ladies and Gentlemen, may be had on application, or post free to any part of the kingdom. CAIITION.—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 RO CONNEXION WITH ANT OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, eimpt their own Establishments, as follows : _. . _ London City Establishment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, Minories, 83, 84,85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

This work has been designed to include explanation of the process of obtaining and disposing of property, which has always been a source of labour and anxiety and expense to persons interested. The difficulties frequently experienced in selling an estate, letting a mansion, or finding one suitable for occupation, are notorious, but singular to tell, this is the first work published which offers advice for the best course of procedure and remedies for diminishing inci dental troubles.

SUMMER. —Ladies will find the application of ROW LANDS' RALYDOR gratefully refreshing in preserving the delicacy and beauty of the complexion from the baneful influence of tlida.sun and dust, dispelling the cloud or languor and relaxation, allaying all heat and Irritability, and immediately affording the pleasing sensation attending restored elasticity and healthful state of the skin. Composed of choice exotics of balsamic nature, utterly free from all mineral admixture, and pleas ing and delightful in its effects, Rowlands' Kalydor tends to neutralise the effects of the atmosphere upon the Skin, and to promote the healthy action of the minute secretory vessels, by which its general well being, and the beauty of its appearance, are so essentially promoted. Freckles, Tan. Spots, Pimples, Flushes, and Discoloration fly before its application, and give place to delicate clearness with the glow of beauty and of bloom.

SAMUEL LA'M ERT, 37. BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Coctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society. Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. rtir AY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on ®L the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro- Sliced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stares of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in Ws; once secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitfid Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are 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 consequenc es may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of scien oacannot apply a care. DOCTOR LA'MEIIT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and s the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rev arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions. At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of 1/., and advice and medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address. It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LAWERT should first obtain a copy of his work on SELF-PRESERVATION.

Bnt, in the first place, we wish to ilisabuse the public mind of an error in relation to the object 'of this bill which seems very generally to prevail, so far as regards the effect which it will have upon bankers! checks. It is not intended to alter the law with regard to checks as it now stands in any way whateier, though no doubt it be found in practice that the extra ordinary facihties which the new law will furnish will lead to a voluntary use of stamped checks to a very great extent, in the way to which we shall hereafter advert. According to the law as it now stands, checks upon bankers payable to bearer may be drawn upon bankers, provided they are drawn, not more than ten miles from the place of business of such bankers, upon plain or unstamped paper ; but, if drawn to " order," or at a distance greater than ten miles from such bankers, either to " order" or to " bearer;" they are subject to the same stamp as a bill of 'exchange drawn at a date not exceeding two months. Such is the law as it stands at present ; nor is it intended in any way to interfere with the existing privilege of drawing checks payable to bearer on demand, and within ten miles of the bank, on plain or unstamped paper. The alterations contemplated are as follows : 1. In place of the present scale of receipt stamps, ris ing &Om 3d. for sums between 51. and la, up to 10s., a uniform stamp of Id. will be applicable to all sums, of whatever amount, from 21. upwards. This uniform penny stamp may be imprinted upon the paper, as at present ; or, for greater convenience, a stamp similar to a postage head will be furnished, which can be put on the face of the paper, but so as to be written over by the signature, and thus cancelled. In all cases the receivers of money must, as at present, pay for the stamp ; and if those making the payment furnish it, they will deduct it from the sum to be paid. 2. In place of the present scale of stamps chargeable upon bills or draughts payable to bearer on demand, and drawn beyond the legal distara b apicl ujaQu-kil_ draughts payable' to ordet,' .i.rrny distance' Willatever, rising from is. for amounts between 21. and-51. ss. to 255. for 3,0001., a uniform stamp of ld. will hencefor ward only be required. The convenience to trade which will result from this small uniform penny stamp is incalculable. Let us put a few of the numerous ways in which it will be ap plicable, for the'sake of illustration. In the first place, as regards the community at large, it will furnish a remarkable facility for obtaining legal receipts for every payment which they make. At present private persons pay almost every account by check ; but the trouble and expense of receipts are so great, that not one in fifty payments is accompanied by a legal discharge. The new regulations by which the stamp is reduced to a uniform rate of one penny, and by which stamps similar to postage heads can be used in place of the ordinary stamped paper, would of themselves be an enormous convenience, and would lead to a universal practice of giving and taking receipts. But the facilities thus afforded sink into insignificance when we compare them with the convenience which will result frcm the use of stamped checks. Let bankers provide themselves with check-books as at present, but each check bearing a penny stamp, and stitched in num bers of 100, 200, or 300 each, charging to their cus tomers, as the act will p rov ide, the sum of Bs. 4d., 16s. Bd., and 255. respectively, according to the size of the books required. The public, in making payments with such checks, would then only require that the persons re ceiving them should endorse the name upon the back, and with no more trouble than necessarily attache3 now to writing a chcck a legal receipt, producible in a court of law, will be furnished for every payment what ever ; and every person thus using stamped checks would, when he had received his cancelled checks back from his bankers', which is the almost universal prac tice, have in his possession a legal receipt for every pay ment made during the year. As the law provides that the receiver of money shall pay the stamp, the person making the payment by means of stamped checks would in all cases deduct the value of the stamp from the sum to be paid ; and thus, the banker having been reim bursed for the stamps by his customer, the customer, in his turn, would be reimbursed by the persons to whom lie made payments, on whom the cost of the stamps would thus finally fall. But the convenience will not end even here. As the use of a penny stamp will be sufficient to secure a legal receipt by an endorsement on the back of a check pay able to bearer, the same stamp will be sufficient for a check or draught payable to order, which would have the advantage that it could only be paid by the endorse ment of the person, either at the time of its being drawn or at any other'time before payment, and which, if lost or mislaid, could not be recovered by any other per son. Another very important advantage will attend stamped checks payable to order. Such a cheek or draught may be legally drawn at any distance from the bank ; it may pass by endorsement from hand to hand till it reaches the place of payment, which would always be as direct as possible, tg`avokl the risk .othalding overdaeeciteeke, And it mig,:ltrqh - Ti tte great est safety and with perfect legality be remitted to any distance in payment of an account, with the certainty that before it was presented for payment the receipt of the person to whom it is sent will be attached in the form of an endorsement. : 4 `y cyf S 4 Thus, in point of fact, a banker's check with a penny stamp, and payable to order, will have every privilege and advantage which a bill at sight has at the present time, including that of furnishing a valid and legal receipt for the amount, no matter how great. Let us now consider the practical facilities which this change will furnish to bankers and traders generally. As regards bankers, the high stamp duties charge able upon bills at sight may be said to have led to their entire disuse, and to have introduced a system as clumsy and inconvenient as it is possible to conceive. The plan resorted to in order to evade the stamps at present is the use of letters of credit, not transferable, and which en tail both upon the issuers of them, and especially upon those on whom they are drawn, great trouble and incon venience. In futu re th ese w ill be entirely discontinued, and bills on demand drawn instead upon a uniform penny stamp, when the amount is above 2/. By this means a bill payable to order, and transferable by en dorsement from hand to hand, will be furnished at the `low cost of a penny stamp. This advantage will be felt as much, if not more, in the trade between the various inland towns of the kingdom, between which remittances are made, as in their direct intercourse with 'London. A shopkeeper in any village or market town, wishing to make a remittance to some other distant local town, will obtain a draught to order from his banker upon London on a penny stamp, and the person to whom he remits it, in however a remote a town in Eng land, Scotland, or Ireland, will be able to endorse it, and receive the amount at once from his cwn banker, who will remit it to London to his agent for collection. At present this cannot be done except by the use of expensive stamps. But it would be difficult to antici pate the numerous ways in which bankers will be able to turn this facility to advantage. But this change will prove of the greatest value to merchants and wholesale traders. Just let us see to what an advantage it may be turned in London. At the present time the " crossing " of checks is relied upon as a security in the numerous daily transactions in the metropolis. Payments are made to collecting clerks daily to the amount, probably, of millions, with no other security than that which "crossing" checks imparts ; and, unfortunately, the unsettled state of the law in respect to this practice renders it of ex tremely doubtful utility. Let us suppose that checks payable to order become of general use, legalised by the penny stamp. In that case, the check could not be paid without endorsement by the person in whose behalf it is drawn. This would be a security to the person paying the money as well as to the person on whose account it is received ; and every person making such payments would possess in his returned checks a legal receipt for every payment, which could at any time be produced in a court of law ; whereas, at present, he, is without any legal means of proving his pay ments. And all this will be accomplished by the use of checks with a penny stamp, which stamp he will be entitled to deduct from the person receiving the pay ment. Again, let us consider the convenience which this ar rangement will prove to traders in London having pay ments to make in various parts of the kingdom. By the use of a penny stamp they will be able to remit their own checks, payable to their correspondent or to his order, who, by endorsement, will at once furnish a re ceipt, and obtain the amount from his own banker in any part of the country, however remote, without charge. There is, perhaps, one class in London who will adhere to the present system of checks payble to bearer, and to whom the use of the stamp will be of but little practical use—we mean stockbrokers, billbrokers, and similar traders, who deal in large sums more by way of transfer than of payment, and to whom, therefore, the stamp would he of little use. But if we are to look to the exten sive and various uses to which this new facility will be extended, we are prepared to find that very soon a ll bankers' checks, with unimportant exceptions, will b e stamped, and drawn to order instead of to bearer. If drawn to o:der and stamped, they will answer all the numerous purposes to which we have referred; they will possess all the advantage of stamped c h ee k s d rawn t o b e arer, with the additional advantages of being much mon; seclire, and of forming the best possible rieans of remittance by post to any distance. And by tie plan su7.geste I, all this convenifwle and safety will be ob tained without any charge to bankers or the payers of money, while the receiv er w ill pay only one penny in each ea3e, in place of th e presen .Icorrsiderable stamp duty, the neglect to pay which exposes him to heavy penalties.

RAPPINGS" AT LlSHEARD.—Considerable excite ment prevailed here a few days ago, in consequence of a strange knocking or rapping, heard in a certain part of the graveyard belonging to the church, which seemed to proceed from the ground where bodies had been lately deposited. Great numbers assembled, and so evident did it appear that the sound proceeded from below, that preparations were made to dig into the grave of a per son recently interred ; when an individual with a better exercise of his perceptive faculties, discovered that when the wind blew, the sound was heard, and when the wind ceased to blow all was silent. This led him to look up, instead of down, for the origin. Then he observed a branch of one tree, when in motion, to strike against the branch of another ; and wood being a good conductor of sound, it proceeded down through the trunk, and the effect was as though it issued from the ground beneath, —Plymouth Journal. For a day within thy courts is better Than a thousand spent in sinful ways : I would rather keep thy holy portal Than abide in tents the wicked raise: CHORUS. For a sun and buckler is Jehovah ; • Grace and glory we in Him behold. No good thing from them that walk uprightly Will the Lord of Sabaoth withhold. How blest, 0 Lord, is he That trusteth in Thee ! At the conclusion of the last chorus the Marquis of Breadalbane, LardrChamberlain, left his station near the Queen; and, accompanied by Viscount Torrington (act ing for the Marquis of Abercorn, Groom of the Stole to Prince Albert), • conducted the infant Prince into the chapel, his Royal Highness being carried by the head nurse, and attended by Lady Caroline Barrington. .

On reaching that, portion for the naming of the child the Archbishop demanded of the Sponsors how it should be named, when the King of Hanover answered in a clear sonorous voice, Leopold George Duncan Albert, • and his Grace baptised it accordingly. After having received the sacred symbol, his Royal Highness Prince Leopold was returned to the arms of Lady Caroline Barrington, and remained in the chapel until after the exhortation. The following Anthem and Chorus were performed : ANTHEM. - W. Bartholomew ... •Costa. CHORUS AND DUET.

For thy holy courts my spirit longeth, Even fainteth for the living God ! Yea, for Thee, my heart and flesh are panting,— Crying, Lord, to find thy house of rest : There the sparrow even bath a dwelling, There she buildeth for her young a nest. There the swallow shelter hath provided, Where securely she may lay her brood : Even round the altars of thy temple,— Thine, 0 Lord of Hosts, my King and God ! Ever blesssed are the chosen people Who within thy temple sing thy praise : Happy, Lord, are they whom thou upholdest,— They whose hearts are ever in thy wa3s ! Passing through the arid vale of Baca, Wells and waterbrooks for th em distil : On they go from strength to strength increasing, Till they bow to God on Zion's hill. SOLO. Hear my humble prayer, 0 God of Jacob— God of Hosts, in mercy turn to me ! Deign to look, 0 Lord, on thine anointed. Shield us ! we are only safe with Thee. [ P RICE SD.

The following general order has been issued by Lord Frederick Fitzclarence : " Head-quarters, Mahableshwnr, May 13, 1853. " By the Commander-in-Chief. " The Commander-in-Chief is pleased to direct the en tire discontinuance of the leather stock in all the Hon. Company's European regiments under this presidency, and officers commanding European corps will be pleased ac cordingly to carry this order into effect as early as prac ticable. "The collars of the coats and jackets will be hereafter cut square (the Prussian collar), and made to close in front with hooks and eyes, and nothing is to be worn inside be yond a plain white shirt collar, of sufficient depth to pre vent the soiling of the lining of the coat collar, without being visible above it—a small fly of the collar of the fac ings must be placed so as to prevent the shirt being seen between the hooks and eyes. "The Commander-in-Chief further directs the entire discontinuance of the black silk neckerchief, which his lordship has observed that the soldiers of some European corps are in the habit of wearing with their white jackets, and which has never been sanctioned by any competent authority. The collars of all jackets are to be made to close in front, in tho same manner as those of the coats. " The Commander-in-Chief has remarked that the cloth ing of the non-commissioned officers and soldiers in gene ral is too tightly made and fitted, particularly across the chest and round the arms—the very portion of a man's body which requires to be left quite free and easy for those who are intended to use the firelock, on the offensive or defensive. "The trousers in most instances are so absurdly tight about the waist, and even the hips, that the soldiers can with difficulty go through the extension motion. " Commanding officers are sti ictly desired to give their especial attention to these points at the next issue of clothing. "Non-commissioned officers and soldiers will sit down to their messes with their jackets open. They are to be permitted to walk about in the immediate vicinity of their lines or barracks in forage caps with their jackets open ; but should they proceed into the bazaar, or town, or other inhabited part of the cantonment, they must wear their jackets and collars buttoned up. White cap and covers are to be worn from eight a.m. till five p.m. " Non-commissioned officers and soldiers, being pro hibited from wearing their side-arms when off duty, will not be required to wear their side-belts on such occasions for the future. " The blue calico trousers, barrack change, are to be worn, as a general rule, on drill parades or fatigue duties, and on the line of march ; and the officers and men of all regiments, European and native, are to parade on all occa sions in the same coloured trousers—black, white, or blue. " Now that so much ease is given to the soldier, by re lieving him of the stock on parade and on guard, the collar of the coat or jacket is never to be turned down, except on the line of march.
