THE City and the West-end are constantly con -a, tending for the palsofsuperlority in matters of fashion. Each asserts its claim to public reference, and thus is a jea'ous emulation maintained between these two great rivals. It is not the practice of L. HYAM to• make insidious allusions, either to individuals or localities; but, nevertheless, the proprietor is bold in asserting, that "the City" is not the only "nucleus" of commercial enterprise and wealth, but the centre of a system of fashion, around which subordinate satellites revolve. In spite of the endeavours to establish a species of aristocracy in the West-end tailoring trade, it is an irrefragible fact, that " the City" Is distinguished in this branch of business and art beyond any and every other locality. L HYAM, situated, as he is, in the very heart of the British capi tal, vindicates the high character of his tailoring and clothing esta blishment, by a cßsplay of gentlemen's and youths' a!tire, compared with which all other samples must partially sink in public esti mation. Let the public see and judge for themselves. Let them exan'ine impartially the novelty, excellence, and durability of the new spring articles cf dress, in ma`erial and general manufacture. Let them calculate the immense saving effected by the great economy of L. HYAM'S charges, and they will be convinced of the fact, that the superior claim to public support is undoubtedly possessed by " the City," so far, at least, es the offers of L. HYAM are concerned. OBSERVE I—L. HYAM begs to state that he has no connexion with any similar establishment in London. 36, Gracechureh-street, City (establishished upwards of 15 years), is the only place of bust hese carried on by L. HYAM, where the public can be supplied with good, durable, and fashionable Clothing, of sound workmanship, at such economical prices as must defy all competition. L. HYAM, Tailor, Clothier, Hatter, Hosier, and General Outfitter, 36, Gracechurch-street, Ci y. WHAT the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER has just FOUND OUT.—That the increase of the re venue in 12 months exceeds nine hundred azd twenty thousands, end an advantage will be derived by the nation and individuals by a re duction of the rate of interest, which is to advance the real value of property. The favourable impression this has made on our com mercial citizens fully proves that Quality and Cheapness are the most approved principles of Business. This, very convincingly, supports the practices of E. MOSES and SON, who commenced, and alone have carried out, the most substantial improvements in DRESS, at a reduction in prices far beyond the expectations of the ablest financier. What have E. MOSES and SON "just brought out ?" The most magnificent and GIGANTIC STOCK of SPRING mid SUMMER GOODS ever exhibited—peerless illustrations of the latest improve ment's in the world's commerce, the materials being selected with unparalleled diligence and perfect experience, from the newest and best samples furnished by every celebrated manufactory, British and Foreign. In this selection the success of E. MOSES and SON'S BUYERS will be found advantageous to their PATRONS and the PUBLIC in ways too numerous for detail. The richest, most novel and varied—the finest and best materials--the first order of fashions —the most artiste cut—the neatest and best workmanship—is com bined with a great reduction in the prices of every description of ATTIRE, HOSIERY, HATS and CAPS, BOOTS and SHOES, ftc., &e. Inspect the endless novelties in SPRING and SUMMER VESTS and TROUSERS, the thousands of NEW STYLES and fabrics of incomparable elegance, the SPRING and SUMMER COATS and OVERCOATS, which for style, quality, and price have no equal, and it will be "found out" that E. MOSES and SON have provided Spring and Summer Dress for all classes in the amplest and most economical manner. EMIGRANTS to AUSTRALI t, or any other part of the world, may save as much by purchasing th-ir Outfits and requisite Clothing at E. MOSES and SON'S as, in many instances, will pay the cost of their passage : when the superior quality of the goods and the prices they are charged are compared, the saving is nearly half the amount which might have been expended elsewhere. E. MOSES and SOIN'S WHOLESALE BUSINESS offers the safest and most profitable investments for Capitalists and every class of Emigrants: the Goods, I - avi•ig a world-wide celebrity, are sold without inconvCnh me, and turn to better interest than any other description of merchandise. The magnitude cf E. MOSES and SON'S Outfitting Business in duces them to keep a separate Department for Emigrants; they also furnish (without any charge) full Lists of Outfits for Ladies and Gentlemen, with Shipsalfing information, &c., either on application or post free, to any part of the kingdom. CAUTION.—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 No CONNEXION WITII ANY OTHER 8017 SE IN OE OUT OP LONDON, Lo 85 D:l a o n n d CB6it,yAiEdsgtaabtell,sorpoensitt,eltsh4e, Church, except their ow n E stablishments, as follows : 84, , a a n n e d o m l 5 .1 7, u n M i l e n a o t r i n i e g s . , 83, London West-end Branch, 506, 507, 508, New Oxford-street, 1,2, 8, Ilart-street, all communicating.

On arriving at the measured mile at Sea Reach, below Gravesend, the time taken,and was the average speed of four runs—two down and two up —was found to be 7.410 knots per hour, the engines, with a stroke of four feet six inches, making 234 revolutions per minute, and working very satisfactorily, without any hot bearings, or any necessity to ease her for any adjustment. The Phoenix has all her stores on board, and is in every respect ready for sea, with the exception of having to take an additional supply of coals, which will be put on board immediately, previously to her departure for the Arctic regions. Captain J. Ful ford, Commander J. M. Cooke, Commander F. A. Campbell, and Lieutenant E. W. Tumour, officers of the royal navy studying steam at the factory at Wool wich Dockyard, with Mr. Roughton, of the steam de partment, were on board during the trial, to witness the working of her engines of 260-horse-power, on John Penn and Son's oscillating priLciple. The Phoenix re turned to Woolwich at half-past six p.m., and is to be taken into the basin until the Breaclalbane (hired trans port) is strengthened, to be ready to go with her on her enterprising voyage. She steers well, answering her helm with the greatest nicety—a matter of great s h atis - faction, considering the difficult navigation she will have a to go through for so large . s teamer in the ice, and amongst the icebergs of the North Polar regions. ~~ GLASGOW HARBOUR MINERAL RAILWAY. a D e Provisional Committee of the above undertaking hereby call I,O.RETING of the Shareholders thereof, to be held within Gibb's a Yai l l °tel.
