'Tis a singular thing, but a fact you must know, I'm reminded of MOSES wherever I go. It I go to the East, if I go to the West, The garments of MOSES my notice arrest; And the North and the South in the very same way The triumphs of MOSES' famed Warehouse display. 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 i n all that they wear; If I take a long trip on the stage or the rail, Fellow-passengers tell me the very same tale. On the right and the left, and the left and the right, The fashions of MOSES a pp ear 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 poor, and the high and the low, Remind me of MOSES wherever I go. And what do I learn from a fact such as this? That the garments of MOSES have nothing amiss. Should I meet with these dresses wherever I go, If the clothes were de - clout 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.

Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em 'titter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing 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 justicedernand that health should form an item in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered by misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining them.

They arc not merely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, norare they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the maxims lie would inculcate—ta do unto others as he would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always on the " sunny side of the way."

TEMPORA MUTANTUR !—The Pope has altered the manner of reckoning time at Rome, where the people used the Italian mode of counting twenty-four hours, from half an hour before sunset, and has ordered the public clock to be adapted to the common European reckoning. LIBERALITY OF TIIE PRESENT Pom p , IIVe read in the Mondo Illustrato of Rome:—" A VhAaithy nobleman desired to constitute one of his two sons his universal legatee, on condition that he would make a sacrifice of part of his property to the church. The two sons, knowing that their father was very eccentric, deter mined, whatever will he might make, t o di v ide his fortune between them. Irritated at this, the father made a secret will, by which he left a very small sum indeed to his two sons, and the bulk of his property to the priest who should happen to say the first mass in the church in which his funeral ceremony was to take place. This will he deposited with a notary. O n his death, which took place shortly after, the notary opened the will, and struck by its singularity, took it to the Pope. It was late at night that his Holiness became acquainted with it, but before daylight next morning he hastened to the church at which the funeral ceremony was to take place, caused the doors to be opened by stating who be was, and celebrated the sacrifice of the mass before any priest had arrived. He thus became legally entitled to the property of the deceased, and immediately made it all over to the two sons." At Derrynane House chapel mass is celebrated every morning by the Rev. J. O'Sullivan, who resides in the Abbey. On the right of the altar is a large chair of pew, where Mr. O'Connell used to sit. It has a b ac k seven feet high, and this pew is now covered with black cloth, the door fastened, and no one is to enter it again. JUNE 30, 1847. TUESDAY NIGHT'S- GAZETTE.

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 th e d oor , an d . l et the .air go through. You need not sit in the draught; that, is.dangereus. The windows of common stairs and:paisages should always be half open. Is this the case in yours ? 2. On getting up in the morning, air the room well 1 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 compa re d w ith t h e great benefit to yo ur I 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 warns 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 airing the room. It is well 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 dram 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. lie 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 Gust 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 desirableness of constructing a harbour of refuge at Holyhead, while they asserted that oven 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 Com Mateo 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 t h e 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. THE FEVER.—The typhus, and also the black fever, are very prevalent at Rochdale and the n eighbourhood. On Monday last two deaths occurred in one house in Castleton fro m t h e black spotted fever, which the parties had caught at ono of the low Irish lodging-house.

ENTILATION.-Mr. Toynbee has submitted the following proposition for the adoption of Government, to the consideration of the Royal Institute of Architects:—. 1. That no living, sleepirg, or workroom shall contain less than 144 superficial feet, or shall be less than eight feet high. 2. That such room shall have one window at least opening at top. 3. Also an open fire-place. 4. That in every living, sleeping, or work-room, erected in future, some method shall be adopted of allowing the foul air to escape from the upper part of the room. 5. That every such room, erected in future, shall have some means of continually admitting fresh air. 6.

MALACCA —ITS MINtRAL eans (for av 7. iaaploarcecFarbeeyPErcussr.o)p AND AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES. -discovery- e o S f in g The re such in reality was the recent movement in Bag land) appears to have awakened a new spirit of en: 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 from the west, and foreseeing that their monopoly must fall before their skill and combination, are eagerly d ing their works. Four new mines have been o ned within hee last three months, andEnglish Pe unless cap talists bestir themselve s in time, they may find all tbo best stanniferous wallie s preoccupied. We be the great mining aesociatio ns of England have, for some time, had their eyes upon the • 1 perunsu they deliberate too long, they will find the prize snatched from them- An American lately visited all the mines in Malacacn gentleman Malayan Malayan states to the -north and southa andan in the report upon some of the localities where tin is now his worked is very favourable, it cannot be doubted n ta the information which he has obtained will be duly appreciated by his enterprising countrymen, whose habit it is to plunge in medial res, while we sit weighing the prose and cons. It may give our Cornish readers some idea of the metallic fertility of Malacca if we state that in one valley there are at this moment thirty mines in operation. Can it be doubted that the gigantic hills at the head of this valley, the waters from which have strewed its whole length with tin sand, hold numerous rich veins ? In one locality, where ,the ground was first broken so recently as October last, there are now twelve hun dred Chinese employed, arid recent visitors state the ore to be so abundant, that the miners have not yet had occasion to dig six feet below the surface. The Chinese capitalists, who have farmed the right of working mines in this locality from Government, have hired a cons i derable 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 old 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 naellee local owners, had hies uetween 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 ~ h ey have given -to the intending sug ar pluten and the promptit u d e w ith w hi c h the ground ap plied'. for by the M a l acca S ugar C ompany 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. worth, is animated by a cordial zeal for the advance. ment of these settlements, and would, we are sere, 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 c anno t overs t ep , th e rea li ty. It is a sober scientific fact that Malacca presents within itself an assemblage of natural and acquired advane 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 dpsir_ 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 European country. Six centuries have passed over Malacca since it was found a jungle by the Hindu Malay emigrants from Singapore. Malayan civilisation during the succeed ing two centuries and a half flourished and advanced under a strong Government ; and while the country behind gradually 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 Alalacca ; 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 sal u b r it y o f th e 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. laces, 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, esith 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.
