AMERRY CHRISTMAS and CHRISTMAS FE , TIVITIES.—Good cheer, smiling faces, warm-hearted wishes, visits, balls, amusements, everything pleasinc—variety tri umphing over monotony, pushing the dull system of things entirely out of pr , ctice, and helping every one to be merry and cheerful. All observers of the preparations made for Christmas festivities by E. MOSES and SON will easily understand how this is accomplished. There is not anything more necessary to cheeriamiess than first-rate Attire, and hat presented by E. Moses and Son exhibits greater ex llence and variety than on ally previous season. For the festive season E. Moses and Son have rendered their gigantic commercial resources available for every one, the best and cheapest articles of Attire being offered for Ladies, Gentlemen, and Children. The variety In Overcoats and Winter Clothing is produced by an extraordinary association of skill and experience, which has selected the most fashionable and durable materials, and fashioned them to the most celebrated habiliments of the age. The variety in Dress for Chri , tmas parties entirely surpasses description; every material in which taste and fashion is conspicuous is made into the most mag nificent attire ever witnessed. Juvenile Attire is rendered universally attractive by new modes of cutting, making, and Trimming; many new styles are introduced as distinguished lor fashion and comfort, as the Goods are for Durability and economy. The New Stock in the Ladies Dress Department comprehends all the Novelties in the World, and Hosiery Goods for Ladles and Gen tlemen the richest and cheapest articles ever offered. Variety is the charm of Christmas Parties, but it was never so magnificently provided as this year by E. Moses and Son, and in presenting the best and cheapest articles of Dress to all classes, they wish their Friends, Patrons, and the Public " A Merry Christmas." CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradestnan-like :alsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for lbvious reasons, they beg to state that they have NO CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155. 156, and 157, Minorles, 83, 84,85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Ooctor 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. MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro duced misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages 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 exist ence 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 Unfruitful 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 tile 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 science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and is 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 free. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the caunqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pi ra ted p of 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. LA'MERT hould first obtain a copy of his work on SELF-PRESERVATION A Medical Treatise on the Philosophy of Marriage and Nervous and Generative Debility, Illustrated by fifty-coloured engravings, and des cribing in detail the various disorders resulting from secret habits and excesses. The perusal of this treatise will assist In the correct description of their cases, and may be had, price 2s 6d, in English, French, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, or German, of Messrs.

ON TRUE & FALSE SPEMATORRIREA, with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors In relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the Generative System, or Sexual ilypoehondriasis. Translated from the German of T)r. PICIEFOR,D "Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs xis, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect env other equally flagrant evil which it may be in hit ,ower to correct•" —London Medical Gazette, May3o, 1851. The tribe of 'Quiet Sympa hisers:nd 'Medical Frt ends,'are mercilessly exposed ; and tf this book could find its way into the hands of those who suffer from the com plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of less Importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize— much money.... "This volume is well qualified to put an end to the empirical system of treating Spermatorrhesa, and to place this treat ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore likely to do much good."—Medical Circular, Jane 16,1859. 1•0114011; 13, DAlllere, 219, Aissontitred, B ELLOT TESTIMONIAL FUND. NAMES OF SUBSCRIBERS.

It appears, from what has been allowed to transpire, that the premises of Alfred Beaumont, Esq., No. 47, Gloucester-terrace, Hyde-park, was entered on the 22d or 23d instant, when property to the amount of several hundred pounds was carried off, but from the strict secrecy that has been observed, it is impossible to give the exact amount. The entrance is supposed to have been effected from the upper part of the house, whence the thieves proceeded into the bed room, and carried off the following articles :—A very large brilliant-diamond brooch of the first water ; a massive gold chain, with a I token suspended, set with diamonds and rubies ; gold chain, a splendid turquoise enamelled bracelet, studded with diamonds ; gold chain, necklace, with dark blue enamelled snake, fastened with diamonds ; a gold ser pent bracelet, with a head of diamonds ; another gold bracelet, chased, having an enamel in the centre, with brilliant diamonds around, and a variety of other descrip tions of property. A large reward is offered for the ap prehension of the thieves, and Inspector Grant, of the D division, is most actively engaged in investigating his extensive robbery. rNDATS.

HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52, FLEET-STREET, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth, as not to he distinguished from the originals by the closest observer ; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the ex traction of roots, or any painful operation, and will suppart and pre serve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mas tication. - 52, FLEET-STREET.—At homo from Ten till Five. INDIA AND CHINA, On Saturday last we published a telegraphic despatch from Trieste in anticipation of the over land mail. We have now received our parcels by the Marseilles route. . From Burmali we learn:that matters were im proving in that quarter.. The Governor-Gencral was still expected.-at Rangoon. A bi-monthly communication is to be established forthwith between Rangoon' and Calcutta by the steamers Tenasserim, Sesostris, and Fire Queen. A force marched on the 9th of Noveinber from Peshawur towards the Kohat Pass to coerce the Afredees to allow us to build a fort. The force consisted of a light field battery, two companies of Sappers and Miners, her Majesty's 22d Regiment, 20th Native Infantry, 66th Ghoorkas, and the 7th Irregular Cavalry. Lieutenant-Colonel Cotton (22d .Queen's) was to command it. The Shah of Persia is reported to have left Tehe ran with 30,000 cavalry and 1,000 pieces of cannon, and 3,000 camels loaded with ammunition, to ope rate against Turkey in concert with Russia. The Governor-General was still at Calcutta, and Sir William Gomm was at Delhi on the 18th of November. The following summary is extracted from the Bombay Times of Nov. 28 : During the past fortnight matters have remained in statu quo at Burmah. Our advices are up to the .22d ult., and contain nothing regarding the . affairs of that country with which our readers are not already acquainted. The Governor-General has announced the intention of Government to maintain henceforth a regular bi-monthly steam communication between Rangoon and Calcutta, and of course the seaports en route. The vessels to be employed are the Tenasserim, the Fire Queen, and the Sesostris, and the communication is to be maintained throughout all seasons of the year. The establishment of a regular communication be tween Calcutta and the Eastern shores of the Bay of Bengal cannot fail to be highly beneficial in a commercial point of view. From our north-west frontier we learn that a force, consisting of a light field battery, two com panies of Sappers, her Majesty's 22d Regiment, the 20th Native Infantry, the 66th Ghoorkas, and the 7th Irregular Cavalry, the whole under the com mand of Lieutenant-Colonel Cotton, of her Ma- . jesty's 22d Foot, marched from Peshawur on the oth inst. towards the Kohat pass, in order to try what effect the demonstration will have on the Afredees, in inducing them to permit us to build a fort near Muttunnee. The brigade is to be so dis posed that it will blockade the pass while the fort is building, the site for which has been selected at Bazeed KILT, a locality six miles to the southward of, or nearer to, the mouth of the pass than Mut tunnee. It is expected that some skirmishing will take place, in which case the Afredees will learn a lesson in thei most effectual manner an Afredee can be taught. Nothing whatever has transpired rela tive to the causes which led to Colonel Mackeson's murder, nor, judging from the aspect of affairs, do we expect the matter to be cleared up at present. It is said that the Shah of Persia has left Tehe ran with his army, numbering 30,000 cavalry and 1,000 pieces of cannon, together with 3,000 camel loads of ammunition. The destination of this force is not known ' - some say it is intended to operate against the Russians, while others allege that the Shah is a tool in the hands of Russia. Great anxiety regarding this movement had been felt in Persia, and by the latest accounts the Royal army was seen passing Tabriz. Some fears were also entertained for the safety of His Majesty's person. The Shah has despatched an envoy to Cabul on a mission to Dost Mahomed, prefaced, it is said, by a declaration, pointing out the benefits which will accrue to both parties from friendship and unity. No doubts are entertained but that this mission has reference to the course to be pur sued by the Dost in the event of war between Rus sia and Turkey. We mentioned in a former sum mary that a Russian army had marched en route to Khiva. We now hear of its arrival at that place, having first stormed the fortress of Ahmetzee. The affairs of Bahawulpoor are represented as getting from bad to worse, the Khan not only de clining to liberate the Minister Shah Newaz-ood i Newaz-ood deen, as recommended by our Government, but m eur ark n i l n is g fe l r i is n es. animosity N o towards eeener d us id he eyrejoicingear the of t at assassination of Colonel Makeson by the hand of a fanatic, than lie publicly expressed, it is said, his satisfaction, and proceeded to enlist a number of Pathaus into his service,lbecause he looks uponthem as our enemies. No doubt our Government is kept well informed by its agent of the Khan's dis graceful conduct, both private and public, and that eventually it will interpose ; but at present the release of Shah Newaz-ood-deen ought to be insisted on as, not being in the service of Baha wulpoor, he should receive the protection of his immediate Government. The Governor-General is still at Calcutta, but it is expected ho will shortly visit Pegu. His servants have al ready preceded him. His Lordship's movements, however, cannot be determined with anything like precision just now, as they entirely depend on the nature of the intelligence which the next Eng lish mail will bring. Should there be war, his lordship will, of course, remain at Calcutta. His Excellency Sir W. Gomm was at Delhi on the 18th inst., but has proceeded towards Meerut. The only other item of intelligence we have to record is the appointment of Viscount Melville, K.C.8., to command the Sirhind division, in the room of the late General Godwin, C.B. We learn that serious discontent has been en gendered among the men of the Nizam's contingent at Hyderabad owing to the means resorted to to reduce its numerical strength by transferring those whose services are no longer required to Pegu. It is questionable if such a transfer can be legally . I made, the men having enlisted for the Nizam's ser vice only, and he having nothing to do with Bur mah. A court is now sitting at Hyderabad, pre sided over by Brigadier Mayne, inquiring into the conduct of the Rajah of Dewalgaum, who was taken prisoner after the recent affair near Aurungabad, but it is surmised that the Rajah will escape scot free, as no more can be proved against him than that he was in the hands of the Arabs, a prisoner. It is stated that Brigadier Mayne has recommended that the three Arabs who were taken prisoners in the affair above alluded to should be hanged, but that the authorities conceive imprisonment for three years an adequate punishment. It is our painful duty to announce that some thing very like a famine pi evails in all the northern districts of the Madras presidency, owing to the want of rain, the monsoon having confined itself entirely to the southern coast. It is stated that the export of grain from the northern ports had almost entirely ceased. In Cuddapah rice had risen more than 100 percent., and in many places stringent ameliorative measures are enforced by the collectors. If the authorities in these parts do not introduce the importation of grain into the dis tricts hundreds must die of starvation.

Exchange on England considerably fluctuated after the arrival of the mail from China. Baring Brothers' credits at six months' sight were refused at 2s. lid. per rupee, but owing to a rather extensive sale of goods they have been sold as low as 2s. 15-16 d. ; the rate of the day may be quoted at 2s. ld. for these, and at 2s. 1 3-16 d. to 2s. lid. for bills secured by shipping documents.

IL FOSTER, Resident Director. ANDREW FRANCIS, Secretary. CHINA. The following is the letter of the Times corre spondent, dated Song Kong, Nov. 11 : The steamer with the 24th of September mail keeps out. _ There has been an increase of sickness in the gar rison, but- nothing of a severe nature; otherwise the colony is healthy. From Shanghai our dates are to the 2d. inst., p er Lady Mary Wood. There is no new feature to report in the pro ceedings of the imperial and insurgent troops. Constant fighting is going on, with little either side. The losses of the imperial, been considerable, while the insurgere fered little, which gives them confidem imperialists have received large yefilfor9.er were estimated, of all kindi i ittidArkt the foreign vest; hitherto employed at foo have come down to assist. The flee. which passed through here on the 13th of Septem ber, ordered by the Taoutae, we learn, was seen close to Woosung, and, unless the insurgents re ceive assistance from. Nankin, it is doubtful if they will be able to hold the city for any length of time against such a force. - The ex-Taoutae Samqua seems to be in difficulty from want of money, and has been unwarrantably exposing himself in the foreign settlement, enter ing with 200 armed followers, and attempting to force himself upon her Britannic Majesty's Consul without due notice, but was obliged to withdraw. The proceedings of his Excellency the American Commissioner and the American Vice-Consul, as regards neutrality, are considered somewhat equi vocal, and the rebel chief has addressed a letter on the subject. The payment of tho duties during the capture of Shanghai, and the present collection of them, are being agitated by the foreign authorities and Imperial Government, and causing some excite ment, as appears in the North China Nerald. The latest news from the north received at Shang hai, contained in the Pekin Gazette of the 3d Octo ber, mention the safe arrival at T een - s t en o f t h e 800 , 000 peculs, of rice from Chekiang province. The Mongols in the park at Pekin consist of 69 officers, 4,000 men, and 400 camp followers. These were only Mongols that have come within the great wall. Tae-ping's northern army took Ping-yang, in Shan-see, on the 12th of September, left it a day or two after, and passed eastward of Flung-tung, in the direction of Pekin, from which it was 500 to 600 miles distant. It is difficult to arrive at correct information of the progress of the rebel forces in the north. It is not long since they were reported to be within 150 miles of Pekin. From Ningpo we learn under date of the 25th ult., that the city was quiet ; but there was an im pression that it could be revolutionised, without much disorder, in favour of the new dynasty. We have nothing later from Foochoo than the 20th ult., given in our last. Our dates from Amoy are to the sth inst. Affairs there seemed approaching to a crisis ; the fighting had harassed and reduced the rebel force, which was in want of provisions and money, and hemmed in by the Imperial troops by land and a strong fleet of junks to oppose them on the water side. It was expected the city would be retaken. Her Britannic Majesty's Consul had removed from the consulate to the foreign factories, and the captain of her Majesty's ship Hermes was to land a force at night time. At Canton there is nothing new to mention ; the city remains quiet and the protective measures are efficient. At Toongkoon, in this province, the people are excited and furious against the manda rins and Tartars, and there is apprehension that some trouble may spring from Trade in imports is again languid, and tho late improvement in yarn and shirtings is barely sup ported. Exchange has fallen to ss. 2d. per dollar. The price of tea is maintained, and the finer quali ties scarce. At Shanghai shipments of tea were active ; in im ports little doing. Exchange on England, Gs. 6d. It is generally understood that his Excellency the Governor Sir George Bonham's resignation has been accepted by her Majesty's Government. His successor has not yet been nominated. His Excellency the American Commissioner has arrived at Macao from Shanghai, pending the ar rival of his successor. Her Majesty's ship Hercules arrived from Sydney on the 29th ult., and is to be stationed here as an hospital ship. In harbour, her.

The activity in our im port markets, partly from this cause, and partly from less favourahle news from the Upper Provinces, has rather slackened, and our sale reports show a falling off in the quantity of cotton piece goods placed. Former prices, however, are maintained, and holders remain firm. Mule Twist until within the last few days re mained in good demand at previous value ; the inquiry is now relaxed, but late quotations are maintained. An in quiry chiefly speculative exists for Turkey red and Ger man dyes. Light green is scarce, but wanted. Orange is quiet. In metals, copper continues in fair demand ; sheathing is quoted at 41-12, and braziers' at 42 to 43. Nothing has transpired in iron, but holders are firm. Spelter is neglected, and lead without report of sale. Tin plates are in fair demand. There have been no ar rivals lately' of British salt, which is quoted at 100 to 101 per 100 mds. for stoved. The money market is kept well supplied, and a fair demand exists for accommodation. The share market is firm ; Bank of Bengal shares are selling at 6,300 Rs. each, and other joi n t- s t oc k s h ares can b e readily placed at full rates. Government securities have further de clined, in consequence of the critical state of European politics. Co.'s Rs. 4 per cents. are quoted at 103-8 to 104-12. Sa. Rs. ditto at 101-2 to 101-4. New fives at 104-8. The subscriptions to the new 3i per cent. loan recently opened have of course been extremely trifling. Exchange for the present mail opened at 2-1 for credits and 2-1„ 1 for the best document bills ; the rates after wards receded to 2-o'4 and 2-1 ; they may now be quoted at the opening figure. The following are the quotations of freights to Lon don :—Saltpetre, 3/. 10s. ; sugar, 31. 15s. ; rice, 41. 55.; shell lac. 4/. 15s. ; lac dye, 51. ; jute, 41. 17s. sd. ; hides, Si. ; to Mauritius Rs. 2-2 per bag for grain.
