Wherever I go I am certain to meet With the dresses of MOSES, so stylish and neat. If I go to a party, the gentlemen there Remind me of MOSES in all that they wear ; If 1 take a long trip on the stage or the rail, Fellow-passengors tell ine the very same tale. On the right and the left, and the left and the right, The fashions of MOSES appear in my sight. At the cot and the palace, the church and the play, The dresses of MOSES and SON I survey. Yes, the rich and the po wherevor, and the high and the low , Remind me of MOSES I go. And what do I learn from a tact such as this? That the garments of MOSES have nothing . Should I meet with these dresses wherever I go,amiss If the clothes were de dent in quality ? No! But quality marks them, and fashions as well. And that's why the goods universally sell. In addition to this, they are sold very low, And hence do the public approve of them so, In every direction wherever I go. _ A new Work , e n t itled " FASHIONS FAVOURITE;'with a -1-4. st of Prices, and Directions for Self-Measurement, can be had on application, or forwarded LIST OF PRICES.

DURKEE'S GREEN MOUNTAIN VEGE TABLE OlNTMENT.—Prepared from a vegetable peculiar to the green mountains of Vermont ; the astonishing properties of which were first discovered by the Aborigines, and the knowledge of its preparation disclosed to the present proprietor, who, after wit nessing for more than twenty years its wonderful effects in SUBDU ING INFLAMMATORY ACTION, and the extraordinary cures pro duced in Gout, Rheumatism, Scrofulous Affections, Ringworm, Piles, Bronchitis, Inflammation of the'Eyes, Swelled Breasts, Sore Nipples, Chilblains, Scalds, Burns, and old and inveterate Ulcers, determined to introduce it as a public medicine. Having received high testimonials from the Surgeons of the Army and Navy, of the important cures effected by this Ointment, together with the immense sale it has obtained in the United States, the Pro prietor has considered it a duty to extend its use to Great Britain, and has appointed Messrs. 11. Preston and Son, wholesale Drug gists, 94, Smithfield Bars, London, sole wholesale Agents, to whom the Ointment is consigned. It is also sold by the respectable Che mists and Medicine Vendors throughout tho 3iingdom, in pots, 2s. 9d. each. REMARKABLE CASE of RESTORATION. A striking instance of the power of scientific art to remedy the detects of nature has lately occurred in the case of a Mr. F. Balls, a gentleman residing at Northam, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1842, on returning from liarlestone Market to Weybred, where he then re sided, sustained so severe a fall from his horse, as to bring on an ill ness of several months' duration, during whieh period his hair con tinued to come off, till he became, to use his own terms, " as perfectly bald as if his head had been shaved;" and the JIM J. E. Daniel, then clergyman of the parish, offered him a wig as a substitute for his lost hair. Under these circumstances, he was induced to try the effect of ROWLAND'S MACASSAR. OIL, and it is highly gratifying to add, with the most happy results. As soon as part of a bottle was used the growth recommenced, and he has now to boast of a very thick and luxuriant head of hair, which presents this peculiarity, that, though prior to losing his hair it evinced no tendency to curl, the new growth is curly and strong. This fact speaks too strongly for itself to require observation.—Bell's Messenger. 4 .* Beware of " Spurious Imitations !—The genuine article has the words " ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL " on tho wrapper.

The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un cornprosing hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand tkat health should form an item in the compact; it alone dignities the alliance. Bligkted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

ROW WITH THE MILITARY OFFICERS. (From the Portafoglio Maltese, June 3, 1847.) In ours, as in all other theatres frequented by per sons of education, certain indecent positions and cer tain improper acts are not tolerated. Amongst us, in Malta, those who most frequently offend against the rules of propriety, whether inadvertently or designedly, are the military officers. On Saturday, a gentle man, who we understand belongs to the Commissariat Department, was sitting in the pit in an improper position, and he was requested to correct his manners. Bat an officer who was near him, displeased, perhaps, that his friend should have been thus reproved, imme .. tliately placed himself in an improper position This produced hissing and groaning from the public; but the officer took no notice of it, but persisted in main taining his position, The Adjutant of police rea soned with him on his conduct for a considerable time, during which the murmurs became louder, and the performances were stopped. It seemed at length that the Adjutant had succeeded in persuading the offender to go out, when, to the' surprise of everybody, I all the officers who had beep, in the boxes were seen to enter the pit and surround their comrade, in order to prevent his being turned out of the theatre. The Adjutant of the police upon this retired, and the public became exasperated beyond measure at the want of energy shown by the police officer, and the little respect shown to his authority. We cannot avoid here remarking that by the side of the officer who thus despised the warnings of the police sat Colonel Fane, of the 54th Regiment, the senior officer of the garrison, and a member of the Council of Government. We cannot believe, as some say, that this superior officer encouraged the other to persist in sitting in an indecent posture; but, as a superior officer, although of another regiment, he ought to have advised him to attend to the police officer, if it were only to put an end to the tumult which prevailed in the theatre, in consequence of which many respectable families were obliged to re tire from the theatre, fearing that the disturbance would become serious. Thus terminated the affair on Saturday ; but on Monday the military were observed to enter the theatre at rather an early hour, contrary to their usual custom, and five officers in the pit very soon hoisted up their feet in the manner precisely which had given so much offence on the preceding Saturday. Now the audience of the theatre is generally composed of ladies and gentlemen, English and Maltese, so that this act of insolence was offensive to everybody. But this time the police did not interfere, and the public took no further notice of it, and everything passed off quietly. After the theatre the officers went out, and being disposed to pick a quarrel with the people, took offence at some hisses that were heard here and there in the crowd and attacked them. The most peaceable and inoffensive inhabitants, being provoked by these excesses, a general row took place, and we are sorry to say that several of the officers and those who took their part, were wounded more or less. Things were taking a serious aspect, though the police did all in their power to separate the contending parties. But what provoked the people more than all was to see the soldiers approaching with fixed bayonets from the military guard in the square. An order, however, issued, it is said, from the Government Palace, put an end to the disturbance by desiring the military to retire, under pain of arrest to those who should disobey. (From the Malta Times). NIGHT BROILS IN MALTA.—We are extremely sorry in having to record another of these disgraceful emeutes, which took place last night, after the closing of the theatre, between British officers and the popu lace ; but the origin of which we are at a loss to ac count for. Be it, however, understood that it com menced and terminated, fortunately, in a mere as sembling of opponents, with an apparent desire of testing each other's metal. We are candidly of opinion, and honestly avow, that more serious con sequences might have ensued, but for the very active and intelligent measures made use of on the spot. We cannot too warmly express our approbation of the ready, deliberate, and efficient prudence of the officers of the police force, and we should be remiss indeed in our duty did we neglect to mention the gallant and well-directed efforts of Major Tidy, who dismissed the guard to their station immediately on their appearance, and directed, in conjunction with Mr. Sedley, the movements of the whole body of police. It might appear to many that we have en larged too strongly on the subject, and aim at conse quences which never would have ensued ; but having become unwilling spectators, we may be permitted an opinion, and which we candidly avow,that had not Major Tidy repulsed the soldiers to the guard station , some serious consequences must have been the result. The street which was to have been their passage was already choked with an infuriated and a predisposed mob, which, composed as it must have been of (we hope a very few) desperate and belligerent characters, a scuffle could not have been avoided, and heaven knows how many lives we should have had at this mo ment to regret. France and Spain are but too rife with melancholy examples of this nature to require any other incident to point out the mature nature of the proceedings we have attempted in a few words to applaud, and we can only regret that the streets were not earlier cleared, and a few examples made of those delinquents who threw stones from the balconies or terraces of the houses. We were witnesses of one sinner being marched off to durance vile, whose crimes appear to have been more than venial. The excite ment was fed for an hour or so by hooting yells on the appearance of a red coat or naval uniform. One g entleman, residing near the scene, we observed bare headed in his anxiety to aid, we hope, in the good c aus e. However, the crowd was soon dispersed, and we again repeat that it was mainly owing to the well-directed discipline and energetic movements of Major Tidy, Mr. Sedley, Mr. St. John, and last, though not least, the Sergeant-Major Caruana and the police force.

The following rules for the preservation of health, and the avoidance of the prevailing epidemic, typhus fever, have been circulated very extensively and suc cessfully by societies, &c., in London, Glasgow, and elsewhere. The rules were drawn up, by request, by our benevolent townsman, James Simpson, Esq., advocate General Rule. Temperance, cleanliness, and breathing pure air, are three of the surest means of securing health, and preventing attacks of typhus fever, or any other disease. 1. Very often open the window of a room, and at the same time the door, and let the air go through. You need not sit in the draught ; that is dangerous. The windows of common stairs and passages should always be half open. Is this the case in yours ? 2. On getting up in the morning, air the room well in the way just mentioned ; let the .draught of air pass through the bed or beds, for at least half an hour before they are made up. Making up a warm or ill aired bed will itself produce disease. Hang the blankets before the fire every now and then. Keep bed, bedding, and bedstead as clean as possible. Beds are better without curtains. If yours have curtains, never draw them close, or in any way shut up your beds closely. A bird in a cage hung all night in a close bed in which you have slept, will be found dead in the morning. 3. If possible, never wear in the day the shirt or shift you sleep in. Air both well, when taken off, in the air draught. Never wear them more than a week. 4. On getting out of bed, dip a sponge or towel in water, and give a rapid wash with it to the whole body, rubbing it dry with a hard rough towel. Cold water is best, but warm water may be used, if cold is disliked. Accustom your children not to be afraid of the cold water sponge. They will come to like it, and to apply it themselves. If your employment is dirty, wash at night also. Wash your children all over every night, and at least their faces, hands, and necks every morning. 5. Sweep out your rooms, passages, and stairs every day, and wash them once a-week. White wash at least twice a-year. The trouble and expense are nothing compared with the great benefit to your health. 6. Do all you can to avoid hanging your washings to dry in the rooms you live in. Nothing is more dangerous to health. Soapsuds, foul water, and filth, should be removed from the room without delay. 7. Use as much water in the house as you possibly can. Carrying it is laborious, but the labour will be well repaid in health and comfort. The time is at hand, when every house, however humble, will have its own water-tap always giving water, so that no cistern or water vessels will be needed. 8. Never live on poor food, that you may save the money for drink. Simple directions for thrifty and good cooking will soon be sent to you. Strive to learn the best ways, in the meantime, from neigh bours who can cook well. 9. Lose no opportunity of walking and taking exercise in the open air. 10. When typhus fever, small-pox, or scarlet fever is in your house, be sure to keep the rooms well aired, and separate as much as you can the healthy part of the family from those who are ill. Do not enter your neighbours' houses, or allow idle gossippers to come into yours ; and do not go to church or meetings, or send your children to school. You thus prevent the spread of the disease. Care lessness in these things, we know, is one great cause of fever spreading amongst the poor. 11. Never, unless really needed to assist the help less, go into a house where there is disease ; and, when you are obliged to do so, never enter fasting, or when warm with walking ; avoid the patient's breath, and stay as short a time as possible. 12. Whether the patient dies or recovers, be sure to wash most carefully every article of clothes or bedding he has used. Get a bottle of weak solution of chloride of lime from a druggist; often sprinkle the bed and floor with it, at the same time often alring tue rooni. It is wei't before washing infected clothes to put them in the solution. Do all in your power to avoid keeping the dead in the same room with the living ; never have any " wake ;" and bury without delay. 13. Danger both to the sick and well is avoided by conveying the sick at once to the fever hospital. Use your best endeavours to advise this to be done. The sick will be more kindly treated and cared for in the hospital than at home, and have a much better chance of recovery. Lastly. Take a very serious thought on the subject of whisky—the grand source of poverty, want, and disease—the grand destroyer of health, of morals, of character, of home, of comfort, and peace. Ask your selves this question. Is the enjoyment of the drain or the tumbler a good bargain for the loss of all these ? Sensible men are taking this thought. Many a young man is resolving to have done with drinking, and enjoy life really, which no one does who drinks. He lives a wretched life; and mark this, he must for ever continue poor. No drinker ever rises above the lowest poverty. Mark this, too, typhus fever finds out the drunkard, and fastens on him. We earnestly intreat you to comply to the utmost of your power with these simple rules. Use the means God gives you. Make no excuses about want of time and opportunity. Show that you will do all you can for yourselves, and, depend upon it, others will aid you. But while you obstinately refuse to keep your houses and your persons clean, you cannot expect your fellow-creatures to go near you, risking health and life itself in the vain attempt to help those who will not help themselves. Begin, then, this very day to clean yourselves, your clothes, and your houses, and let fresh air in by every door and window. HOLYHEAD HARBOUR. The following are the material portions of the Report (just printed) from the Commons' Select Committee on the Holyhead Harbour Bill. The importance of this really national work imparts much interest to the docu ment : The Committee will not offer any opinion to the House as to the expediency or inexpediency of the ar rangement made with the Chester and Holyhead Rail way Company, by the Treasury Minute of the 3d of April, 1846, in virtue of which that Company has be come liable to contribute a sum of money towards the construction of a national work ; but the Committee has felt itself bound, in consequence of that arrangment, to investigate very closely the clauses in the Chester and Holyhead Railway Bill, though not directly referred to it, by which the Treasury Minute is to be carried out ; and it is now in a position to state that, while the agree ment with the Company has been preserved in its in tegrity, the regulations laid down by the clauses, which are to be substituted by mutual consent in the Chester and Holyhead Bill, on the third reading, for the 18th and 19th clauses, as they now stand, are of such a na ture as to guarantee the public against the possibility of any undue preference or privilege in the use either of the inner (or packet) harbour, or of what has been termed the Railway Pier. The opposition to the Holyhead Harbour Bill appears to the Committee to have originated in a not unnatural apprehension upon these points, as well as with regard to the character of the harbour itself ; all the petitioners who have appeared before the Committee having ad mitted the deiira,bleness of constructing a harbour of refuge at Holyhead, while they asserted that even if the harbour were unobjectionable they should be deprived of the advantages which they were entitled to expect from it by the privileges which the Railway Company had acquired. These, however, are limited by the Treasury minute, and by the Chester and Holyhead Bill (as now agreed to be amended) to the use of the inner pier, " so far as it may be required for the purpose of facilitating their traffic," and to the acquisition of the land at the base of the pier, " recommended by Mr. Rendel as a proper site for a railway station," and comprising a space of about seven acres, with a frontage to the inner harbour of 1,200 feet. The Committee does not think this an unreasonable return for the large outlay to which the Company has become liable ; but it recommends that another wharf or wharfs, with good access both by sea and land, should be constructed at the public expense, which, they believe will prevent the possibility of undue charges or prefer ences as between parties using the Company's wharf. One objection has been raised, with regard to the want of a western entrance to the harbour, which the Com mittee conceive will be better dealt with as the works proceed, but for which provision may be made at any time, without increased expense, should experience prove it to be desirable. Under these circumstance, the Committee has unani mously agreed to report in favour of the Holyhead Har bour Bill.

(From the Singapore Free The re-discovery of Malacca by such in reality was the recent movemek Enc";./Stabi land) appears to have awakened a new spirit or end terprise amongst the inhabitants, and to have opened their eyes to the value of the treasures which they have so long neglected. The Chinese miners, as if already feeling the presence of their great rivals fro? the west, and foreseeing that their monopoly must fail before their skill and combination, are eagerly extend ing their works. Four new mines have been opened within the last three months, and unless English capi talists bestir themselves in time, they may find t3l the best stanniferous vallies preoccupied. We believe the great mining associations of England have, tjr i , some time, had their eyes upon the peninsula. they deliberate too long, they will find the prise snatched from them. An American L a•entleman lately visited all the mines in Malacca ard in the Malayan states to the north and south, and as his report upon some of the localities where tin is' nog;" worked is very favourable, it cannot he doubted that the information which he has olitainad will be dOIS appreciated by his enterprising countrymen, whossß habit it to plun. ! e in in Bias ?es, while we Sit, weighing the prose and e,ans. It may give our Cornish readers scme idea of the metallic fertility of - Malacca if we state that in or. , valley there are at this moment thirty mines in opention. Can it be doubted that the gigantic hills at head of this valley, the waters from which have stee wed its whvle length with tin sand, hold numerous rich veins In one locality, where the ground was broken so recently as October last, there are now tw., ve hun dred Chinese employed, and recent visitors state the ore to be s o abundant, that the miners have no vet s': had occasi on t o dig six feet below the surface. ahe Chinese capitalists, who have farmed the right ,of working mines in this locality from Government, haafe hired a considerable number of Chinese immigrants who lately arrived to Malacca. The energy which they are now displaying is sure to be rewarded by a handsome profit on their contract with Government. The revenue from tin is increasing so rapidly that there is little doubt that ere long the entire loss upon the purchase of the proprietary rights of the 'eld Dutch landholders will be made up from this source alone. What has been considered an improvident measure will probably prove the means of placing Malacca in a position which she could not have attained if the avarice of numerous parties, local owners, had been interposed between her re sources and the enterprise of English capitalists. As it is, there are numerous tracts entirely at the disposal of government, and the very great encouragement which they have given to the intending sugar planters, and the promptitude with which the ground applied for by the Malacca Sugar Company has been exa mined and surveyed, afford an ample guarantee that every well-considered and substantial project tending to the improvement of the country will be most favour ably and liberally countenanced. If any additional motive were wanting for speedy and decided measures being taken by all who have any intention of entering on this new field, whether for the cultivation of the sugar cane, or to working of tin, it may be found in the fact that our present governor, Colonel Butter wcrth, is animated by a cordial zeal for the advance ment of these settlements, and would, we are sure, give the most effective support to any association of respectability that may be organised for either of these purposes. So much ignorance and misconception continue to prevail regarding these settlements, and Malacca in particular, that we shall make a few remarks on the latter for the benefit of our English readers. Those who may be deterred from coming to Malacca from the associations connected with tropical jungles, and the difficulties and miseries of new set- tleMents, must at once rid their minds of all im pressions of the kind. So far from there being any room for such ideas, we can assure them that if they will give the reins to their imagination, and picture to themselves in the most attractive colours a great tropical garden, in which plains and valleys are sur rounded and intersected by hills covered with an assem blage of fruit bearing trees, which is literally without a parallel in the world ; and in front of this, and stretch ing along a mediterranean sea, a long dark green zone formed of similar trees and a vast abundance of cocoanuts, beneath which thousands of cottages and houses are scattered; and, finally, steep the whole in a pure atmosphere, and ventilate it with refreshing and salubrious breezes, they may ap proach, but cannot overstep, the reality. It is a sober scientific fact that Malacca presents within itself an assemblage of natural and acquired advan tages which no other country within the tropics pos sesses for the European colonist. For it has not only the essential requisites of a sufficient and most desir able field, hardly occupied at all, for the investment of capital in its vegetable fertility and mineral wealth, with the adjuncts of proximity to the sea and nume rous streams and rivers, but has also all the amenities and facilities, and far more than the beauty of an old Eur,pean country. Six centuries have passed_oyer Malacca sim.:e it was. found ft jungle by the Ilindu Malay emigrant's - frO . m . Singapore. Malayan civilisation during the succeed ing two centuries and a half flourished and advanced under a strong Government ; and while the country behind grail ually assumed the aspect of antiquity, the coast for many miles was converted into one conti nuous market-place, where a trading population of nearly 200,000 persons were established, and to which vessels resorted from India, Arabia, China, and all parts of the Indian archipelago. During the next 130 years Portugal, in its palmiest time, impressed an European character on Malacca ; and then for a still longer period a more kindred nation, the Dutch, prepared it for the reception of English residents, This successive infusion of new ideas and new habits has given to Malacca a very peculiar and very attrac tive character. At this day all the races who have one after another predominated, as well as many others who, without possessing authority, have played the most important parts in its history, exist not only distinct but commixed. Prejudices of blood and re ligion have been broken down or subdued. Each tribe, more or less cut off from the powerful segre gating influences that reign in its native land, and subjected to the fraternizing force of common pursuits and constant intercourse, has found nature stronger than prejudice, and christian and heathen, baptist and heretic, islamite and unbeliever, men of every tongue, and race, and colour, from the Ultima Thule to the Golden Chersonese and further still, not only live in perfect harmony, but mingle their blood without any misgivings. It would have been a sin against nature, here so gracious and so bounteous, had humanity proved more stubborn. This harmonious diversity which marks the people themselves extends to their architecture and all their habits of life. The great cause of this peculiar character of Malacca is the fertility and beauty of the country and the re markable purity and salubrity of the air. These cir cumstances have wedded the inhabitants from differ ent nations to the place, so that instead of hastily ga thering what wealth they could (as generally happens elsewhere in the Archipelago, as at Singapore), and returning to their native countries, they have found themselves unable to break their attachment to Ma lacca, and it has become their adopted home. The very liberality of nature has, to our utilitarian notions, had its drawbacks. Men who find that their own country possesses almost everything which they can desire, and merely to live in which is pleasure, had no adequate motive for exertion. Nature has been so kind that her children are necessarily indo lent, and more prone to enjoyment than labour Hence it happens that while, on the one hand, the comforts and luxuries of civilised existence may be found in all their fulness and at a cheap cost at Ma lacca, on the other hand, civilisation has left a wide economical field almost untouched. On the sea shore you have a mixture of the oldest European and the oldest Asiatic civilisations, with everything that can please the eye and satisfy the desires of man. Go a few miles into the interior, and you have backwoods rich in virgin soil, and hollows secreting valuable metals—in a word, everything that can excite the cupidity of the utilitarian sons of the West.
