ALLSOPP SONS' PALE OR & BITTER ALES have been unquestionably vouchcal, by the most eminent scientific and medical men of the day, to be •` a very agreeable and efficient tonic, as a g eneral b everage both for t h e inva -11.1 and the rob ust ; and as tendin g , from the pure and wholesome nature of the ingredients employed, the moderate proportion of alcohol present, and the very considerable quantity of aromatic amodyne bitter derived from hops alone, which they contain., to pre serve the tone and vigour of the stomach, and to condo c e t o the restoration of that organ whe n i n a s t ate of weakness, debility, or irritability." In all cases in which Malt Liquors are suitable, none meek the (le. sired effect more certainly, none are prescribed with more confidence by the Faculty. " The careful manner in which the fermentation is conducted, causes them to assimilate to Foreign Wines more than the ordinary ales of this country ; and on this account they do not occasion that acidity of stomach created by tke less perfectly fer mented ales." " These Bitter Beers differ from all other :prepara tions of malt, in containing a smaller amount of extractive matter, thus being less viscid and saccharine, and consequently more easy of digestion. They resemble, indeed, from their lightness, a Wine of Malt rather than an ordinary fermented infusion ; and it is very sa tisfictory to find that a beverage of such general consumption is en tirely free from every kind of impurity."

The following, relative to the Spanish Uncon veited Coupons, is translated from the Heraldo of the 29th ult. : " The reduction of 50 per cent. made on the capital of the Coupons was an evident mistake, in consequence of an injustice which destroyed the favourable effect pro duced abroad to the advantage of Spanish credit, by the regulation of the public debt. " It is well known that the interest due by the titles of the debt is payable in ready money at the end of the six months. The Coupon is neither more nor less than a bill of exchange, which had run out its time, and pay ment of which is punctually demanded. As regards public - funds, capital is not reclaimable ; it is transferred at the will of the bearer, but he has not the right to pre sent himself, for example, to the Government, and de mand one hundred thousand reals in cash for titles of 3 per Cents. It is, however, the con t rary as regar d s in terest. The Exchequer is bound to deliver up, in money, the amount of the Coupons representing the interest due on the debt. " Besides, the actual titles of the 3 per Cents. arise from the conversion of the Coupons of 4 and 5 per cent. verified in 1841, although the number of the Threes was augmented by the conversion of the floating debt, which took place in 1845, so that the Coupons existing in 1851 have the same origin as those converted into titles of 3 ; they were, so to speak, own brothers, and there was no possibility of disputing the right which awaited them of incurring the same fate as that which had at tended the others. This did not, however, occur, and it would be futile to seek out 'reasons to explain such a deviation. If we consider the question under the aspect of right, what concerns the interest would have the advantage over the titles from whence it springs, because it is payable in cash ; if we turn to precedents, we soon discover those which hold in the matter ; and if, finally, we hunt about for a possible excuse for so singu lar a reduction, the reply is obviously to no purpose, for, admitting the penury of the Treasury, the reduction should have been made proportionably in all classes of the debt, and not have chosen that one which, even in this case, ought to have b een t rea t e d w ith spec i al pre dilection, What motive was there to recognise in all integrity, the capital of the Fives, the Fours, the Notes, the Debt without Interest, and reduce to one half that of the Coupons ? On what principle of justice or utility could so strange a difference be founded ? Was there sufficient to keep all intact or not ? In the first case, the Coupons enjoyed the same rights and privileges con ceded to the other debts ; in the latter, common justice required that all should be treated in the same way. Why not reduce them all, if there were no other course left open I "No one can, with impunity, sin against the duties of morality ; no one can, without prejudice to public con veniency, deny the principles of economy. Credit is confidence, and confidence is inspired by good faith and the solidity of the debtor. It is not enough that an in dividual, or a nation, arrange a certain debt, in order to recover commercial position : it is indispensable that such arrangement be general and equitable—that all connected with it should bear evidence that regard has been had to loyalty and uprightness. What opinion can be formed of the man who, owing to many, should treat some with caprice, and ignore others. "And the worst of theanatter is, that in this unfortu nate business the Government has acted as if it really had proposed to demonstrate that its want of power was the mere excuse of an angry debtor, or the vagary of an eccentric litigant ; for after having sanctioned the arrangements, many other debts that nobody claimed were also arranged, just as if, on a sudden, a very shower of gold had fallen from the sky, and that, not knowing what to do with such a plethora of riches, we had lost no time in paying even the debts probably con tracted by Pelays beyond the Asturias Mountains, in order to put an end to the contention just terminated with the Moors by the taking of Granada. What must foreigners thinks of us ? What can be said of proverbial Spanish honour ? What they so think and say, those who read the London and Paris papers know too well, those who more than once have had to blush on seeing how we were treated at the meetings, and swell with indignation against Necker, who, in an evil hour, took upon himself to do what was beyond the reach of his understanding, and what required broader views and greater firmness of will than it had pleased Heaven to concede to him. "The irritation, however, rose to its height with the decree of the 13th October last. What ! was then the exclamation in foreign countries ; it was not possible to increase by ten millions of reals, the sum intended in the former one, for the payment of the interest of the debt regulated on the let of August ; and now, without the slightest solicitation, the same ten millions are added, in order to convert into consolidated a part of the Deferred Debt. "It must be a hoax or a mockery, an insult cast on those who were weak enough to lend money to the Spaniard, and the odium and resentment arose with greater fury than ever ; they heaped reproaches on us, loaded us with names that for the whole world we ought not to have laid ourselves open to bear. The committee which regulates the Exchange at London, determined that the titles of the Threes arising from the conversion of the four hundred millions of Deferred Debt, should not be quoted. The same occurred in Paris, and the Minister who was the author of the measure had oppor tunity practically to learn that justice cannot be turned into a mockery, and that there is no means of escape from the law which Providence has imposed upon all sin ful actions "The reduction of one-half of the capital of the Cou pons has rendered nugatory, and will continue to do so, until a repairing hand shall have amended the mischief, the effects of the regulation of the public debt, with the sacrifice of burdening former liabilities with the pay ments of new interest, the wish was to recover Spanish credit, whilst the very contrary has fallen out. The Go vernment intended, or ought to have done so, to wipe off the record of errors, committed rather in consequence of the calamities of which the Peninsular has been the victim, since the beginning of the century, than from any other cause of a reprehensible nature ; and it has, instead, by its mistakes, and rash engagement, to resist the clamours of the public conscience, rendered it more indelible. We went in search of credit, and we have fallen in discredit, as the terminus of our unfortunate and concerted voyage. The Deferred Debt—instead of sing, went down, in consequence of the decree of the d of October, because, if in the few days blowing the publication of such a measure in ;he Gaceta, there was some tendency to a rise on the Ma lrid Exchange, the London letters and papers, within brief space, brought over the news of the agreement there come to, and the hopes of speculators here vanished like the smoke before the wind. " It must be inferred from all this that the regulation so extolled, that the laurel with which, among other laurels the brows of the Minister of Finance will have to be adorned, has been one of those matters which may be reckoned among the worst conceived within memory. So ill conceived, indeed, that however much favoured by circumstances, we shall not succeed in obtaining the end proposed, viz., the procuring of credit until this ugly blot shall have disappeared, until accomplishing what utility and justice both equally ordained, we shall have acceded to the well-founded claims of those who have suffered a diminution of one-half their capital by the arbitrary decision of a man who had no right to deprive theni of what did not belong to him. "We will at another time dwell upon the rise which these values have hind since the regulation, in order to demonstrate that this phenomenon is explicable by causes which have nothing whatever to do with the wisdom and acuteness of the Minister, who, rather than have resorted to such a measure, should have been content to undergo every inconvenience." CHILD MURDER.—On the sth inst., Margaret Bell was brought up before Lord Cockburn, accused of the crime of child murder. From the evidence, it appeared that the prisoner, who had been in service, left her em ployment, and was delivered of a female child in the house of a woman named M'Guire, in Paisley. She left about a fortnight afterwards, taking the child along with her s whieli was in perfect health at the time. On the following morning —viz., the 17th of November, the body of the child was found in the pond or dam, at Crofthead Bleachfield, in the parish of Neilston. The woman had been previously observed in the neighbour hood. There was a string or piece of muslin tight round the infant's throat. When apprehended by the officer, she admitted that she had drowned the child.

The first news of the discovery of gold in our Australian colonies came to us from Sydney, and in the commencement of the emigration movement the stream of adventurers from this country was directed to the coasts of New South Wales. The goldfields of that province, which for a few months excited so much interest, awakened so many hopes, and attracted so many eager and empty hands, have within the last year dwindled into the shade, eclipsed, as they were, by the richer treasures and the all but fabulous returns which were obtained by the gold-seekers in the colony of Victoria. As the fame of Mount Alexander and Ballarat spread, these favoured localities attracted not only the crowds of fresh emigrants which just then poured in from England and America, but the very miners on the Sydney fields left the holes they had sunk and the claims they had paid for, and, shouldering their pickaxes and cradles, marched away to Vic toria, the Eldorado of the antipodes. As the ranks of the miners became thinner, and the popu lation at the diggings which ministered to their wants dwindled.away, the yields of the New South Wales mines, though very satisfactory to the diggers, made but a poor figure .in-i the escort re turns by the side of the thousands of ounces of gold that were collected by the vast mining popu lation of Victoria. When Mount Alexander sent its weekly 80,000 ounces, the Turon sent per haps a few hundred, but the former enormous quantity represented the gains of 80,000, and even 100,000 miners, while the miners on the New South Wales fields, few and far between as they were came in for larger proportions of the smaller yield. Certain it is that New South Wales, with a large minin g population, would soon show a different aspect. U p t o th e p resen t the old diggings only hav e b een wor k e d, and few di-coveries made, not because there are not auriferious regions of great richness besides those already discovered, but simply because the miners, doing well where they are, ha ve no desire t o ex t en d the area of their operations a n d l ose the i r ti me b y " prospecting." How vast a fi e l d for labour and enterprise that colony still pres en t s will best be seen from a condensed review of the Sydney gold fields, and the regi ons w he re gold has been found, though as yet th e y h ave no t b een worked for gold. South Wales The oldest among the N ew gold fields is that of Ophir. That part which up to the present day has been worked • but small is a fraction of what may be termed the Canoblas gold fields. The Canoblas Mountain, which rises to the height of a mile above the level of the sea, is the centre, whence a large n um b er of streams , including including the Summerhill-creek, t a k e t h eir rise. All All of these streams or creeks are more or less auriferous. Gold has been found all along Summerhill-creek, from its source at the Canoblas to its jun ction with the Macquarie, but m os t abundantl y vat Ophir and e Frederick's Valley, w h ere the Wentworth - entworthdiggings are situated. The gold is miggett and has been found in lumps of 31b. and weight.4lb. b.Z larg e Y The Went worth diggings yield quantities of very fine gold. The mining population at Ophir, and in the creeks of the Canoblas does notexceed 300, and their earn from 10s. to - 60s. a day. The whole of the country around the Canoblas may be consi dered as a gold field comparatively unexplored, and waiting for population, capital, and machinery. The Turon district is the richest and largest of the gold fields of the colony. Sofala, the town which in less than 18 months has risen out of the bush, is situate on the richest part of th e T uron, about 25 miles north from Bathurst. F ifteen miles above Sofala remunerative diggings were opened at " the Gulf," and thence to the junction of the river with the Macquarie, a distance of above 40 miles, digging operations have been carried on with more or less success. The geological formation of the country presents schist intersected with quartz veins. The gold is chiefly " dust," with a tolerable number of nuggets and a few stray lumps, some of them of 71b. weight. The yield of gold on the Turon has been, in many instances, most extraor dinary. In several cases from 80 to 100 ounces per day, and for several days together, have been obtained by parties of three and four; while others took from 20 to 50 ounces. The averag e daily gain of such parties would appear to range between 5 and 15 ounce;. The gold has been obtained in equal quantities in the bed of the river and on the banks and slopes in the vicinity. The dry diggings on the banks of the Turon are considered by many to be comparatively exhausted. Others hold a different opinion. As long as there was a large population on the Turon, the spirit of enter prise constantly developed new ground, and fresh discoveries only teasel when few were left to con tend for the honour and profit of making them. Rich dry diggings have recently bee, discovered on the slope of a hill near Sofala, at a pl ace wh i c h had before been burrowed up by miners who would not take the trouble of sinking their holes deep enough. There is a vast field for mining enterprise at the Tura'', both on the river itself and on the table-land in its vicinity, whence its tributaries take their rise. Some of these, Big Oakey and Little Oakey creek especially, have yielded a large amount of gold. Along the Bathurst-mad gold has been found, and at W-Yagden-hill, midway between the village of Wyagden and the Turon, " successful operations " have been commence d. There are tracts of many miles extent along the Turon, which, although known as auriferous, are as yet untouched. - • The Braidwood diggings next claim a tt en ti on . They have hitherto been confined to the Major's and Bell's creeks, which flow over the table-land above the valley of Araluen, at the distance of about 10 miles from Braidwood, on the eastward of range of mountains. The gold is here decomposed granite, at least so the dividing found in the the local geologists say. The diggers amount to 500, who earn quite as much as the diggers on the Turon. The gold is fine and very pure, but the re sources of this part of the country have been only river features.somewhat Large resem bling About . 30 miles north of the Turon are the Meroo . i e a r a r i l diggings.very p partially a T- l uT l y rhoe d n e mi v n e e l ir o tos p o e g d ei de posits of gold have been found in its banks and bars. The gold is coarse, with here and there large nug gets and lumps. • The golden reputation of the Me roo itself is, however, small in comparison to that of one of its tributary creeks, the Louisa, on whose banks such enormous masses of the precious metal have been found, and where the Great Nugget' Vein lies. We may state, on the authority of Mr. , Assistant-Commissioner Green, that the dry dig gings in this locality extend or several miles to Campbell's creek, where from 40,000 to 50,000 miners might find profitable employment. This tract includes the diggings of Long-creek, the Dirt holes, and the Tambaroura, all renowned in their generation, but all yielding the palm to the Louisa -creek, where Dr. Ker found his 1 cwt of gold, and Brennan his 271 b lump, together with the largest waterword nugget that the world ever knew of, for it ,Iyeighed 157 ounces. The gold generally is very Coarse and' nuggatty, and the miners average from 20s a day upvjurds. There are about 1,500 miners on the Meroo and. Louisa creeks, at Long-creek, the Devil's-hole, Py ram id- cree k, Nuggetty-gully, Married-man's-creek, and the Dirtholes. Between the Turon and the Pyramid, and pa rallel to both, lies the Tambaroura-creek, which joins the IVla,cquarrie several miles below the Turon junction. The diggings here are generally on table ' land, and the yield of gold is very large, since we are informed that many of the claims yield from 2 to 12 ounces a day. The number of miners at the Tambaroura and its vicinity is computed at 1,000. The Hanging-rock, situate on the Peel River, is a gold-field of established renown. The Oaken vile, Hurdle, and Oakey creeks, which flow into the Peel, have been found to be rich in auriferous deposits, and a large tract of country in the vicinity presents the same indications. There are about 200 diggers, who are doing well, but 2,000 would cer tainly do better. The last discovered diggings in New South Wales are at Bingara on the Courangoura-creek, which joins the Gwydir River, 70 miles to the north-west of. Tamworth. The persons who first discovered the treasures of this locality made extraordinary gains in .a very short time, and the gold appeared to lie in inexhaustible abundance on all sides. It is nugetty, coarse-grained, and very little worn. The usual characteristics of a gold region, slate and quartz, abound, and a large extent of country in the vicinity has the same appearance as that of the diggings at' the Courangoura-creek. At various places between the Hanging-rock and Bingara gold has been found, in some instances lying on the sur face of the ground. There are about 8,000 miners at work on all these various gold fields ; but the Sydney Empire is of opinion that not less than 200,000 persons would find profitable employment on, the large tracts of auriferous country, hitherto unworked, which the colony is known to possess. The New South Wales miners, though they all of them are doing well—and we know by this time what those words mean at the antipodes--use the rudest and most unsatisfactory implements. A pick and shovel and a cradle, with, perhaps, a crowbar and a pump, constitute a miner's outfit. Considering the brilliant results obtained by such seemingly inadequate means, the people of Sydney are eagerly looking forward to that " more effectual development of the wealth of the gold fields by operations conducted on an extensive scale di rected by scientific skill and aided by all the avail able appliances of modern art and industry." " About half a dozen of such companies," says the Sydney Empire, " have not only been formed, but have actually commenced operations." The Great Nugget Vein Company are setting up expensive machinery on the banks of the Louisa for crushing the auriferous quartz of their claim in that locality. The British Australian and the Australian Mutual Gold Mining Companies have combined operations for the purpose of working the alluvial claims on the Turon. They have secural valuable ground at Lucky Point, and are preparing to work an island in the bed of the Turon, near Erskine Point. Cer tain Sydney merchants, the Messrs. Samuel, are draining the water-hole at Ophir, and the Turon Golden Ridge Quartz Crushing Company are about to work an auriferous quartz vein on the Lower Turon, which " promises , the most splendid re sults." Besides the very natural desire to vie with the golden glories of the neighbouring province ,of Victoria, the colonists of New South W a l es are animated by the hope that science and machinery, directed to the pursuit of gold, will save much valuable manual labour, and that the comp an i es , once established, will put an end to the amateur digging of raw immigrants, of whom it is generally said that they would do themselves and others good if they turned their attention and energies to agriculture and trade. We have hitherto dwelt only on the established gold fields ; but, besides these, there are various lo calities in which gold is known to exist, but which have not as yet been worked by any but here and there a stay " prospecting" party. Chief among these is the territory of the Abercrombie River, 40 miles south from Bathurst, which forms the upper portion of the Lachlan. Large quantities of gold have here been found by chance, not only in the river itself; but at the Sounding-rock, and in the Tuenna, Mulgunnia, Copuerhannia, and Mountain Run creeks. Gold has also been found at Havila. on Campbell's River, and in th e G y l man d y k e an d Davis creeks, its tributaries; at Winburndale-creek, a few miles to the northward from Bathurst ; at Billaboug range, 100 miles west of Bathurst ; and at the Snowy Mountains, where the Rev. W. B. Clarke, who searched by order of the Goverunient, discovered an extensive tract of auriferous country. A few more months, a fresh influx' of population, and the combined powers of capital, enterprise, and science, will work wonders in New South Wales, and, as far as the yield of gold is concerned, if it does not surpass - Victoria, it bids fair at least to equal the prosperity of that colony.—Times. THE LAKE DISTRICT-THE LATE STORM ON THE BANKS OF WINDERMERE. The following extracts from a letter, dated Winder mere, Jan. 1, will enable all who have visited the lakes to form an idea of the effect of the late gales in that in teresting district :—" I am sorry to say that the weather here is anything but agreeable ; the rains falls continu ally, and in a downright steady manner, which leaves but little hope of its abatement. Within the last month the rain in this locality has fallen 101 inches—greater in extent than any on record. On Monday last, and on Christmas-day, the storms in this part were most terrible; such, in fact, was the force of the wind, that trees which had stood the 'battle and the breeze' for centuries lay broken up and scattered. At the Ferry Hotel six of the fine old cherry trees are down. Numbers of the old tenants of Belle Isle have also fallen ; and here, in Elleray, sixty trees were blown down in a few hours. Houses in all directions are unroofed, our own being among the unfor tunates. I hear bad tidings from the coast close at hand. Milntherpe and Sandside, together with Lyth Mea throp, &c., have all more or less witnessed scenes of death and destruction. The bodies of eleven poor sailors were washed on the beach (so I hear), near Sandside ; and all along the coast to Workington and Maryport is strewed with wrecks of every description, lying at the mercy of the winds and waves. Many farmers in the low end of the valleys running towards the coast are en tirely ruined, their sheep and cows, &c., having perished in the waters. I know parties acquainted with a family who spent seven hours during the storm of Monday last on the top of their own house, and saw their cattle carried away to death by scores. They lost upwards of a hundred sheep ; they were with difficulty rescued in a boat. Two lads were overtaken by the rising of the waters, and took refuge on a peat stack. Thinking it rather insecure they dropped off and got into a large birch tree close at hand. The waters rose rapidly, and the stack was washed away before their eyes. They re mained in the tree for six hours, and were rescued almost in a dying state. Every valley has its tale of woe and destruction. God help them !' THE LYTHAM LIFE-BOAT.— On Saturday morning last, during a very heavy gale, and in a t err ifi c sea of broken water, this life - boat's qualities were tested in a very remarkable manner under the following circum stances, viz., on the morning aforesaid, a large ship was seen in the height of the storm in the offing of the Horse Bank, Lytham, Lancashire, with a signal of distress flying, a distance from' here of not less than ten miles. The life-boat was at length, with great difficulty, manned (owing to the accident in October), and. proceeded at a rapid rate against a gale right ahead. A considerable portion of the course to the ship lay through breakers of a most formidable character-- the crew say, to use their own words, "that she was quite buried in three in stances, but that she immediately emptied herself." The ship, a large one, was pitching jibboom under, though in the best trim, being outwardbound ; they were able' to board her notwithstanding, and supplied them with a man, which enabled the ship finally to leave this dan gerous coast. - ME REFUGEE TURNED EMPEROR.-With the recent changes in his position, Louis Bonaparte appears to have somewhat modified his ideas concerning the propriety of harbouring refugees in a state. The Augsburg Gazette, under date of B er li n , 2d , says :—" France will no t f or the fixture receive any f ore i gn refugees. The autlioritie:; of Schildberg (P osen ) h av i ng expelled two refugees, and given them a passport to France, the French ambassa dor at our court declared to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, in th e name o f hi s Government., that for the future no for e i gners o f th at category will be received in France. Th e Mi n i s t er o f the Interior has, con e . gi ven f orma l or d ers not to deliver any more passports fo r F rance t o P ol i sh refugees. " We may look to see M. Bonaparte change his opinions yet again. £390 19 8 Future subscriptions will be announced in The Times and other papers. Every subscriber's name will appear in Eliza Cook's Jour nal. JOIN WATKINS. Hon. Sec. TWO EMPIRES OF TIME. THE PAST AND THE PRESENT, THE OLD YEAR AND THE NEW. GLANCING back through the year 1852, E. MOSES - rind SONS have a duty to discharge to them highly gratifying; they have to acknowledge an amount of patronage on their astablishmebt and its branches which exceeds the possibility of enumeration, and fully demonstrates the established convic tion on the public mind, of the superiority of their system of Business, and the general excellencies of their Goods. This in crease of public favour will never be disregarded by E. MOSES and SON, but will form a stimulant to still greater efforts, where possibility will permit, and to fresh enterprises where these can procure the best, the most fashionable, and the most seasonable ma terials for every description of Dress, with which they always asso ciate the most artistic, the neatest, and soundest workmanship. The appointment of a distinct class of Artists to each style of attire, has produced a fit universally famed for correctness and com fort, and in the manufacture of Garments for every station and pro fession in society; for Sportsmen, Juveniles, and Mechanics; the most unflinching regard will continue to be paid, the highest order of materials and workmanship, and the lowest possible charges will furnish additional attractions for thousands. A degree of patronage unparalleled has been bestowed on the Ready-made Clothing Depart ment, which it has always been their ceaseless assiduity to render superior to that of any Establishment in the Kingdom, that every e l h s e e dw progressh b er e a . person may be supplied at any moment to them convenient, with a materials and Workmansh az ip p , ebt a cu e s e had o i rn . p th a e Style of Attire agreeable to their 'wishes, displaying the first order of B il r e a sp n o c it h e ha G s o u n sl n il e na r et l s o sar, and Cap hc t i ca h hp e F o T i f t h u e s -exhibitedhic which may has rendered it the Crowning Emporium for all the subjects of oar Mighty Empire. The Ladies' and Gentlemen's Hosiery Section, on which the great est care, industry, and experience has been employed, has been at tended with unprecedented encouragement; and the world-wide connection of E. Moses and Son have rendered it the Depot for every novelty through every season. During the past year, a new field has been opened for enterprise and industry ; a source of wealth has been discovered which has superseded the calculations of the most sanguine, and has proved the revelations of truth more astonishing than fiction ; though Gene ral Outfitting has always been an important branch of E. Moses and Son's business, and has through a series of years been available for Emigrants to all parts of the world, yet the new requirements of a large port on of the population have been met in the most co m p re pensive manner by the Outfitting capabilities possessed at the Estab- lishment of E. Moses and Son ; their Wholesale business affording facilities of the most momentous order, and the unity of the largest stock of Hosiery, Boots and Shoes, &c., Sic., ever known, have proved in the highest sense advantageous : their thorough and practical ac quaintance with the goods required for any voyage or climate, and by every class of Emigrants, Ladies or Gentlemen ; their readiness to afford assistance, and gratuitously to give all necessary information to all intending Emigrants, has given a popularity to them as Out litters, which has eclipsed all others; and that every convenience might be possessed by Emigrants, they have kept a separate Depart ment for Outfitting, conveniently communicating with the other sec tions of their great commercial Emporium. Now entering upon the Empire of the year 1853, it is the intention of E. Moses and Son to give each branch of their daily increasing trade their minute, practical, and undeviatin.: attention that :their Establishment and its branches may continue the national deposi tories of norelty and fashion, the recherche of taste and skill ; the magazine of articles or utility and comfort; the assemblage of every order of Goods required at home or abroad ; that punctuality and attention to all commands and that quality and economy in every class of articles may give them the opportunity, and the pleasure of extending the benefits of their great commercial facilities to all classes throughout the kingdoms of the world. Indulging the warmest hopes of being able, as the year progres'es, far to exceed their professions, and to help on the comfort of all who remain at Home, and all who Emigrate, E. Mons and Sox earnestly and cordially wish all their Friends and Patrons A HAPPY NEW Y It. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like hlsehood 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 No CONNEXION WITH ANT O THER HOUSE ..

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearffil consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, wild has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cases.

We have the greatest satisfaction in giving currency to an official announcement to the effect that Mr. Engle due, the able and indefatigable superintendent of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's establishment and fleet at Southampton, has been restored to the rank he formerly held in the Royal ser vice—a lieutenant in the navy. This officer had served long and honourably in various ships. He had worked out his promotion, after much arduous service as mate, to the rank of lieutenant—he had recommendations from all his superior officers, (Sir Watkin 0. Pell, Sir Charles Napier, Sir Thomas Hastings, Sir RiCliard Grant, and Rear -Admiral Corry amongst the number), and good wishes from his messmates ; he continued to serve as a lieutenant in various ships ; taught himself the science of naval gunnery, was one of the first officers of the Ex celent establishment, and went to other ports to initiate oth:we ships' companies. At length, When he saw so a nyma juniors o f i n f er i or claims being daily promoted, Engledue naturally looked for his advancement as the reward of his long, faithful, and valuable afloat ser vices, and accordingly applied for it. Mr. Engledue, however, was too valuable a man in those days to be any other than a first lieutenant, and so he continued on the list without promotion. Opportu nities, however, very soon offered • to Lieutenant Engle due to better his condition—a richer, if not a more honourable, prospect opened to him in the service of the Peninsular and Oriental Company. Mr. Engledue was offered a command of one of their best steamers, and without waiting for the sanction of the Admiralty, he accepted it. But the Admiralty determined not to lose sight of so excellent an officer, and ordered him to join a man-of-war. Mr. E. respectfully deprecated the ap pointment to a lieutenant's position, seeing that he had earned his rank, and begged for leave, but their lord ships were inexorable; and, we believe, more for example than from any strong feeling against him, struck hint off the list. Mr., then Captain, Engledue, with the commiseration of all his friends, pursued his career in the Peninsular and Oriental Company's service ; and after commanding ships in the Mediterranean, and filling responsible posts in Egypt and India, he returned some years ago to Southampton, and succeeded the late Lieutenant Kendal, as the company's superintendent. But thong h separated from the Royal Navy by a cruel and hasty ex cision, it was impossibl e f or hi m to forget the serv i ce i n which he was cradled, and in which he founded his repu tation as a seaman and an officer ; and he naturally looked forward to the time when justice would be done to his merits and his claims, and he would again be en titled to look upon himself as a Royal naval officer. The day has come at last, and we are quite sure a greater act of justice was never performed than this restoration. We know not whether we may attribute the restora tion to the old or the new board, but whichever it may be, it has earned the thanks of hundreds of good men, and the measure will have an effect on the steam-packet mail service, which will bear good fruit to the nation should an emergency arise for the services of so valuable an auxiliary as the mail contract steam force. If the Duke of Northumberland has had any hand in it, we may remark that this one good act will silence many a reflection, and it will be hailed as a mark of generous appreciation of the services of a hard-working but ne glected brother officer. If the restoration is one of Sir James Graham's first official acts, it will be regarded as an augury of good, which will go far to remove the feeling of uneasy apprehension which at present exists in the navy at the changes at the Admiralty. We cannot help thinking that Vice-Admiral Hyde Parker, C. 8., of the past as well as the present board, must have helped the restoration, for no one w ill d ou bt th at, if h i s promotion was rapid, he is fully capable of estimating, as he is ever anxious to reward, the ability of those who had not his good luck. Moreover, the gallant admiral was a good dockyard superintendent, and if he ever visited South ampton he must have been struck with the efficient and admirable superintendence of Captain Engledue, for there he was port admiral, admiral superintendent, store keeper, accountant, and harbour-roaster, shipwright, joiner, Custom-house agent, and everything else ; and working cordially with the superintendent engineer, Mr. Lamb, he conducted the business of the great company to which he was attached with that system, order, regu larity, dispatch, and economy, which cannot be sur pau'sed. These services were naturally a recommendation to Vice _Admiral Parker, as we know they were to his predecessor, Vice-Admiral Dundas. Again, the restora tion of such a man is what might be expected from Sir Phipps llornby, Sir Thos. Herbert, Captain Duncombe, and Captain Milne, and if these had little voice in the matter, then we cannot help thinking that it was to Admiral Berkeley's generous assistance that Captain Engledue owes his recovered rank. Admiral Berkeley is a gunnery officer, and he must have been well acquainted with Lieu tenant Engledue's gunnery services. Ad m i ra l B er k eley was a member of the com mittee on the steam navy, and he must have admired the open, manly, frank, and intelligent evidence of Mr. Engledue, and the officer-like and practical suggestions which he made for converting the mercantile steam-ves sels into auxiliary squadrons, for the purposes of war OR an emergency. Moreover, Admiral Berkeley has given a great deal of attention to the condition of the seamen, and to the question of manning the navy, and he could .not be ignorant of Captain Engledue's success in man ' ning the Peninsular and Oriental Company's powerful fleet with the best seamen in the world, and that he has_ in the course of the lkit four or five years contributed largely towards manning the ships of the Royal Navy ; and not only that, but at his own expense, he commenced a system of training the packet-service men to the use of ships' guns, and created amongst them such a feeling of regard for the Royal service as to enable him to answer for their services in the event of hostilities. On all grounds, and from any hands, then, we accept the restoration of Lieutenant Engledue to the Navy List as a mark of justice to neglected claims—as an indication of an improved feeling among the rulers of the navy to wards officers of what we may call the auxiliary service ; and further, we hail the act as a step in that necessary " progress" towards consolidating the naval strength of this great maritime country. We heartil trut that the next step a ft er th e restoration will be the y long- s earned promotion of Lieut. Engledue to the rank of corn mander.—/Iforning herald. The new Board of Admiralty entered upon their du• ties at Whitehall yesterday. We hear that Captain O'Brien will be succeeded as private secretary to the First Lord, by Captain Graham, of the Royal Artillery. Some surprise is felt that the Ajax, 58, screw guard ship, at Queenstown, has not yet filled up her comple ment, from 250 to 500. She has been at Queenstown now about six weeks, and has only entered 100 blue jackets. We used to get a good supply of boys and men from the Irish coast. PTSH, JAN. 7. Notwithstandin g the wind got MO U up to T N.N.W. last evening, and the stars looked unusually bright, the wind backed again to the southward at four a.m., this day, and commenced a gale which lasted till three p.m., cutting off all comninnication with the shore, and at in tervals raining a perfect deluge.
