I'll sing you a ditty, Beth m etty and witty, Of Loadon's great City; Fer wide is its fame, • And mighty its name, And all are to blame, Who say not the same. As we walk up and down This wonderful town, Of lasting renown, The eye ever meets, With ocular treats, As it revee through the streets. We are led, unawares, Through crescents s,nd squares, And wide thoroughfares, Where the stranger repairs, And eagerly stares, . At the mighty affairs. There's the noted St. Paul, With its dome aid its ball, And tke Abbey and all, And the Monument tall, While all seem to bawl, To the great and the small, " Please to give us a call." Whatever we ♦iew, Presents something new, And astonishing too, For me and for you. The houses of trade Are proudly dispiay'd. But of course there are MO, Like the wonderful one Of Z. MOSES and SON. The warehouse of MOSES, In Landon discloses, What no one sunposes. And all must admire. Their charnsing attire, Which Is all you desire, 'And all you require. Their beautiful styles, For smart javennes. Are approved of with smiles. The Tunics with braid, Which MOSES have made, Bares ever displayed. Perfection in trade. Then, as Christmas draws nigh, May your guardians buy, From MOSES' supply. Which is never sold high. Let them peep, let them pry, Let them test, let theta try, Not a fault will they spy, Nor will any deny That MOSES' out-vie In the stock they have by For a Christmas supply. LIST OF PRICES. UAD!

BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON. octor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific: source of mischief, -and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on .he nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subjects This work contains aft accurate and, complete account of the Anatomy and Pbysiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. Ai deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health, and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired In early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a tear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shaine and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it c an b e procured. In acting Has he forgets that accurate discriminati on i n ascertaining the cause ' s of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above a ll, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his posse-sion of th e requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and resp ect i n his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be e x t ended. Dr. LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplo mas testify, and the great extent of his practice for many ye ars i s a guarantee for his professional experienee, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

H., Nei. 1, New Turnstile, Holborn. A A E. Lid One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right deterwnhe the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter 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 end social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour end justice denaand tbat health should form an item In the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound snore sorely than poverty or misfortune.

Furthermore, two other little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not wierely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library 'volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's llfe,who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to 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."

The vital principle is con tained in the blood. 2. Everything in the body Is derived from the blood. 3. All constitutions are radically the same. 4. All diseases arise from the impurity of the blood, or, in other words, from acri monious humours lodged in the body. 5. This humour, which de gene.ates the blood, has three sources—the materuine, the conta gious, and the personal. 6. Disease and pain have the sanie origin, and may therefore be considered synonymous terms. 7. Purgation by proper vegetable purgatives is the only effectuual mode of eradi cating disease. 8. Experience of upwards of twenty years has amply proved MORISON'S VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL MEDICINE to be such proper vegetable purgative. 9. From the intimate connexion subsisting between the mind and the body, the health of the one must conduce to the serenity of the other. Ilygeism—The science of health. Hygeist —A promoter of health. Hygeian—Pertaining to the science of heaith. These terms have not been adopted through an affecta tion of singularity, but merely for the sake of drawing a sufficiently broad line of demarcation between the old and new schools. PLATE. A B.

EARTHQUAKE AT COMIIIE.—COMTie was visited on the night of the 28th ult., by a rather severe shock of an earthquage, which happened about midnight. It extended over a wide space of country, being heard at the farthest extremity of the stratb, taking its direction from north-west to south-east. The weather of late has been unusually wet and 'foggy, which would appear to favour the theory of earthquakes having their immediate ;rise from the state of the atmosphere, as such weather is usually the forerunner of some severe shock; but this can hardly be taken as an established rule. The earth quake lasted about three or four minutes, producing a severe oscillatory motion; no damage of 11,13 y consequence occurred.—Caledonian Mercury.

' COVENT -GARDEN THEATRE. SHAKESPERE'S HOUSE FUND. This theatre, the use of which last evening was, in the most handsome manner, given by Mr. Beale to the Committee for the purchase of Shakespere's house, was crowded to excess. All the performers in London, too, gave their gratuitous services, and in order to erable the committee to make the most of these offers, it was arranged that the performances should consist of a series of scenes from Shakespere. The following is a copy of the prologue (written by Mr. Charles Knight, and spoken by Mr. Phelps,) and of the programme of the performances of this, per haps one of the most remarkable representations in the history of the drama:— PROLOG UE. " The Macedonian stood within the gat( a Of the devoted Thebes. Relentless hates Ask'd to be loos'd in bloodshed and in fire: Spare not—the conquer'd cried:—Yet stay, the lyre Of glorious Pindarus in Thebes was strung— Search for bis house those fated piles among ; Perish the city, down with every tower, But save, from ruin save the Muses' sacred bower. " The victor Time has stood on Avon's side To doom the fall of many a home of pride; Rapine o'er Evesham's gilded cane has strode, And gorgeous Kenilworth has paved the road: But Time has gently laid his withering hands On on, frail house—the House of Shakspere stands; Centuries are gone—fallen' the cloud•capped tow'rs; l But Shakspere's home, his boyhood's home, is ours. " Ye, who this night kind greetings bring to cheer The histrionic groups assembled here, Cherish the task, with reverent love to hold One relic of our drama's age of gold, For there, where Avon's long-immortal wave Lingers in willowy banks by Shakspere's grave,— The Pilgrims come: Ohio and the Rhine Send forth their worshippers to Stratford's shrine, — And still they come, to hail, from every clime, The Poet of all countries and all time.' "Perchance, in some dark hour, a venal stage May leave to bookworms Shakspere's living page; Fit on the buskins to some Newgate gang, And give the comic mask to drunken slang: Then, when no tear shall fall for Juliet's woe, Falstaff be voted dull, and Hamlet ' slow,' — Then, ere new Bettertons and Garricks rise To win the crowd from scenes the good despise,— The lowly roof, which you are here to claim From cold neglect or desecration's shame, May stand, the trophy of a nobler taste— A beacon-light amidst the drama's waste. " Yes 1 when a race unborn shall gather round His hallowed roof, and consecrated ground, And secret tears, and smiles of sudden glee, Attest his sway, the mind's own jubilee; Remembrance, perhaps, may turn to this 'brief hour,' Which yields our feeble homage to his power: For here th' assembled nation stands to say, Our Shakspere's home is snatched from quick decay; Is the work finished—or but yet begun? Complete ! Maintain ! do all that needs be done ! Yes ! England's heart now beats at Shakspere's call— The Muses' bower is saved—your's is the pledge for aIL" BEETHOVEN'S OVERTURE TO " CORIOLAN US."

"'The Jamaica papers are chiefly occupied with accounts of meetings, held at different places, for the purpose of presenting petitions to the British Parliament on the sugar and free-trade questions. At a meeting held at St. John's, on the 30th Oct., it was reselved unanimously : " That this meeting view with very great alarm the present state of the West India colonies, and the conse quences that may be expected to follow, produced by the late measures of the British Parliament sanctioning the admission of foreign slave-grown produce into the British market upon such terms as must exclude the produce of the free British colonies. " That the great influx of foreign slave-grown pro duce since the adoption of the...aforesaid measures has already had the effect of reducing the price of free-grown sugar, and other colonial produce in the same proportion, to an amount that leaves a heavy loss to the grower thereof. " That in addition to the population of these colonies, whether by importation or natural increase, though it may in time cheapen labour, is yet too slow a process to give a hope of competing with foreign slavery, and therefore cannot afford that relief which, under existing circumstances, is so immediately required. " That if the present state of things be not imme diately amended the total ruin of this island must ensue. " That if colonial produce be admitted into the British market free of duty, or if slavery be totally abolished, and if the navigation-laws be repealed or modified, these colonies will be retained as useful and beneficial appendages to the British Crown, instead of becoming uncultivated wastes, which nothing but the adoption of one or other of the foregoing suggestions can now avert. " That petitions for relief, accompanied by copies of these resolutions, be forwarded to her Majesty the Queen and the two Houses of Parliament." Meetings of a similar nature have been held at Black River, St. Elisabeth, at Clarendon, and other principal points, at which resolutions were passed to petition Parliament to take the present state of the West India colonies into serious consideration. The following are the resolutions adopted at Cla , rendon " Resolved, that the present depressed state of the agricultural interests in the West Indies is the result of the low prices of produce in the markets of Europe, and that no effort we can make can have any adequate influence in relieving us from the effects of that de pression. " That if this depreciation continue, not only will all atteuipts at improvement be baffled, but the staples of the country must be driven out of cultivation. " That we have no desire to evade the responsibility of increased and better-regulated exertions on our own parts, if our energies be not paralyzed. " That however, seeing the present consequences of these and other recent events as regards our condition, we earnestly and solemnly appeal to the British nation and the Imperial Parliament, so to modify and arrange the application of the principles now in action in the mother country in reference to our circumstances as colonists, that we may be enabled to continue the pro duction of the articles on which our existence depends, with a reasonable remuneration for the outlay of capital, and the expenditure of labour. " That in the spirit of humble but strenuous remon strance against either the neglect or disregard of our present condition, we submit that the admission of our products, sugar, coffee, and other articles, the principle establisheci by the repeal of corn restriction, namely, duty free, rum relieved of the present differential duty, the encouragement of free and extended immigration, the alteration of the navigation-laws, and the enforce ment of the treaties with foreign powers, which would effect the total abolition of slavery, as means whereby u dbettered, and our existence as o cultivatorscon i condition o o n may be continued. of t he soil " That petitions to both Houses of the Imperial Par liament be framed in conformity with the foregoing re solutions, and be sent round for signature."

The duties and expenses of the committees will not cease, however, with the liquidation of their present liabilities; it is their wish, before making the property over to the Crown, to place it under the super intendence of some person honourably connected with dramatic literature, ond to remove certain premises ad joining, which injure Ole appearance, and endanger the safety of the house."
