'Tis a matter of business on which we have writtea— A word to the Lords and the Commons of Britain ; For all in the state are concerted, more or less, With MOSES and SON'S noted warehouse for dress. The season in London once more Is begun— May it be a good season for MOSES and SON ; 31 ay the Lords and the Commons, returning to town Visit MOSES and SON at their Mart of renown. E. MOSES and SON would most heartily thank Their numerous patrons of title sad rank, Whose favours, last year, were surprisingly great, And such as did honour to men of the state; And while the proprietors thank them for these, They solicit new favours from Lords and M.P.'s, As the Lords and the gentlemen forming the state In their nightly discussions are oft detain'd late, The elegant wrappers of MOSES and SON Would protect and prevent any harm being done. Noble Lords, after making long speeches, require Additional warmth in their over attire ; And all who would value their health should take ears Te avoid any hurt from the chilly night air, Which In plain honest words may be easily done, seeking protection from MOSES and SON.

"mow ~ "~_ (From the Hampshire Independent.) - There cannot be more ?convincing prodfs of rthe Bete .rioration of our naval officers in point of professional '..fficiency th an h as b een furn i s h e d b y recent events . A t a - time when our navy numbered fully three times as hfiny vessels, and we maintained four times as many in 'Commission as we do at present, so many accidents never occurred within such a short spsce of time as have hap pen, d during the last three we, ks, excepting from stress of weather, which in none of the late cases has been even the - remote cause. There cannot be the shadow of a doubt that had Capt. Onslow possessed the judgment necessary for the commander of a British man- of-war. the Daphne would never have gone on shore,, even al though the pilot had been, as it is' said he was, in a state of inebriety, because he (the Captair) would have ,een the impropiiety of getting a ship under way after sunset on the eve of a dark night, to best out through a long and narrow channel, with shoals on each side. There cannot be a question that if the most 'common prudence bad _ been used on board: the Hyacinth, either in keeping a good, look out prior to her falling in with the Wanderer, or in endea iOuilng by seamanlike man'ceuvres to avoid collision when the:danger became aPparent, th onsequences of that disaster would have either been wM-y obviated, or so materially lessened, that neither vessel would have sustained more than temporary injury, and the Hyacinth might' have proceeded toAheerness without detention, or. putting - her crew to tgr inconvenience and expense 1_ going to th e i r friends by land from th i s port. It /11 equally obvious that the wreck (for a total wreck it will be) of the Sphynx steam sloop in Freshwater Bay, Isle of Wight, has been the result of a gross neglect of the most. csointnon precautions which the possession of a very small modicum- of seamanship would have readily sug gested. "ThWad, one of the most essential and unerring guides in thick weather, appears to have been totally for gotten; and the speed was altogether much too great - , con sidering the supposed position of the vessel, and the at mospheric obscurity. All these circumstances combine to form a mass of evidence conclusive as to the fact which we have frequently before adverted to, of the lamentable want ofprofessional experience in our present race ofnaval officers, and prove the positive necessity ()Nome alteration being speedily made in the mode of instructing them, so as to insure their possessing at least a tolerable de gree of knowledge of nautical matters, enough to en able them to conduct the vessels intrusted to their charge with safety to them and their crews. That such is not the case at present we know, even independent of the recent proofs, and the causes are obvious to every person competent to form a judgment on the subject. Our midshipmen and mates are too much of gentlemen —too fond of gaudy uniforms and white gloves—too w we r o e areeye-witnesses o st uhpa tp o supposed ed ship, to andsomebe h much att ac h e d to s h ore going amusements—and have too little exerc i se at sea during their probationary term of service , to learn their profession. We ourselves the nautical acqu i rements of the mates of the Excellent, h t t e h y i the elite gentlemen w ere row i ng for amusement inone of the boats reaprsersfoinre of themeano Navy.efea that Thes every o speeimen of essential p ar t of a seaman ' s knowledge would have disgraced a crew of raw jollies. As it happened they did not drift out of the harbour, which we devoutly prayed they might,!seeing it would probably have proved oeneficial to them as a lesson of practical utility. They were not preserved from this by their own ex ertions, but by the labour and skill of two stout boys who, luckily for them, chanced to be with them, and by tracking the boat along the beach at Blockhouse, which they had not sense enough to do, saved them from the fate of Gay's " Bear in a boat." It may be objected, that officers are not required to perform this service, but to direct others; but how can any man tell what lie may be called upon to perform ? and how can any officer properly direct others to do that of which he is himself profoundly ignorant ? What would these gentlemen themselves say of a military officer who did not know how to handle a musket? The mates of the Excellent were at this same period so thoroughly ignorant of sig nals, that if one were made to the ship, and the signal man chanced to be out of the way, they were compelled to consult the table of flags in the book, before they could decide upon what symbol each flag denoted ! %Ve have no doubt that they were as profoundly ignorant of all other points of their profession, except the comparatively useless ones of theoretic gunnery and the minutice of nautical astronomy. At the same time we have every reason to believe—having seen divers of them clad in scarlet hunting frocks and white leathers— they were quite adepts in that exercise. These are the men who are selected par excellence (oh I excellent !) to com mand our ships and fleets, and who bid fair to lose them. We trust the late disasters will impress a useful lesson un the minds of the Lords of the Admiralty, and that they will see the necessity of making these, young gentlemen learn the practical duties of their profession, aid by keeping our ships more at see, give to all hands a better opportunity of acquiring knowledge, and keeping them selves in exercise, for assuredly the time is not far ars tact when they will be called on to put all they do know into practice, and it will not do for the enemy to find then., as he would now, unready.

PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—The hopes hitherto entertained of saving the hull of the Sphynx have been abandoned. Last night the Scourge, Commander Caffin, Rattler, Commander Moorman, and the Echo steam-tug, the latter with the mooring lump in tow, returned from Freshwater Bay with the news that the grand effort to move her yesterday at high water had failed, a tremendous roller having burst in, carried away purchases, warps, and tow-ropes, and thrown the ve.ssel her full length farther in t owar d s the cliff, s l ew ing her round so as to bring her head rather towards the sea, and giving her a careen to the shore. This morning the Dragon, Cap tain Ramsay, and Porcupine, Lieutetunt l‘Porman, returned.

(FROM A CORRF.SPONDF.NT.) lIIOTTISTON, ISLE OF WIGHT, FRIDAY, 7 A.M.—As we anti cipated on Wednesday, the weather came on thick, and the wind southward, and though it was almost a calm, with a smooth sea off, the heavy groundswell returned, and all hands were landed from the Sphynx for the night. Had the fine weather continued, she would have been off, as, with the as sistance of the two steamers, we had moved her some feet out of her berth; but at high water this day she parted her three cables, swung round as if on a pivot amidships, and now lies with her stem off and her stern on the shore, much nearer in. As the tides are falling off, there is no chance till next spring, if she should hold together so long; all depends on the weather—one south-wester, and it is all over. Nearly all the shipwrights, &c., from Portsmouth Dockyard are leaving for Cowes—only 16 remaining out of 80. If possible, her copper is to be stripped off to .day. Everything move able was thrown overboard on Wednesday, and some fear she may swing round on the guns or other things, and injure her bottom. THREE O'CLOCK.—Another of the bodies have been found. The wind is from the S.S.W., and a heavy swell, but the ship lies well up on the beach. The captain's lady is better to day, as is the master. The ship is ashore at. Little Mottis ton. Mr. Watts, the Government Superintendent, leaves to-morrow. NEGLIGENCE OF STEAM-SHIP COMPANIES. -- The wreck of a steamer in the offing of Cork harbour adds another to the long list of disasters in which the dangers arising from uncontrollable accidents at sea are frightfully increased by the culpable negligence of the companies whose duty it is to provide against them. The Sirius. Captain Moffett, struck on a reef of rocks, and on being backed off was found to have sustained such extensive damages as to render her sinking a dead certainty. By what infatuation sea captains, in nine cases out of ten, are induced to accelerate the fate of their vessels, after a hole is knocked through them, by backing into deep water, we never could comprehend : but that is not the main point to which we now desire to direct attention. When, however, the ship was found t o b e filling,she was again run ashore ; and the one thing needful in the emergency was boats, for passengers and crew numbering ninety I The life boat was lowered--blunderingly, on the wrong side ; but no sooner was it launched, than it was found unable to accommodate, with safety, more than eight persons. Twenty crowded into it in the thoughtless despera tion of the moment ; before the steamer was well cleared it was swamped, ts a matter of course; and every soul but one was drowned. Those who remained on board the steamer reached the shore through the exertions of the coast-guard. The steam company who sent out to sea ninety passengers in a ship having a life-boat that could carry only eight per sons, have been guity of a mad recklessness of human life, differing but little from premeditated manslaughter. Had the accident occurred at a more remote distance from the harbour, in all probability not one of the seventy who escaped a watery grave would have lived to relate the disaster. There is surely some call for int er f erence on the part of the Govern ment. * Steam Companies should be compelled to provide boats sufficiently commodious for their full complement of passengers and crew in case of wreck.—C2rlisle Journal. STEAMERS' BOATS. • The wreck of the Sirius, Irish steam-packet, between Dublin and Cork, presents another lamentable example of the consequence of not compelling the owners of packets to provide their vessels with boats of a size and build to ill's in a heavy sea, and stow safely a large number of persons. - As usual, the best boat of the Sirius was launched only to be swamped, and fifteen or twenty lives were lost. As the boat was over-crowded by fifteen or twenty passengers, we infer what the size must have been, and how unfit for the exigency. One of Captain G. Smith's paddle • boa boats would have received forty or fifty people without danger. The boats which packets ordinarily earry are worse than useless. It would be far better for the safety of passengers that they had none. In this instance of the Sirius the lives lost were lost through the boat. Had there been no bad boat to trust to, all would have been saved. Packets should either be provided with good boats, such as the paddle-box boat with flat floor and wide beam, and ample stowage, or they should have none, to serve only as a false reliance and a snare. A thimble for a reservoir of water would be as good a safeguard against fire, as a commo❑ ship's boat is in a thronged packet against the dangers of shipwreck.— Erg/liner.

FIRE AT QU EEN HITHE.— On F iiday night, between 8 and 9 o'clock, a fire broke out in the range of wemists belonging to Mr. Holskamp, late Adlard, wholesale stationer, 1, Queenhithe. The accident originated in a cellar under the main warehouse, and fortunately the flames were confined to that place, the firemen having set to just as they were as cending the staircase. The deputation on the malt tax to Lord John Russell, on Friday, - was composed of the Duke of Richmond, the Earl of March, M.P., Mr. W. Miles, M.P., Mr. A. S.

Mr. Wickham ' ,Chairman of the Stamps and Taxes, h a d an interview with the Right Hon. T. Milner Gibson, on Satur day, at the office of the Board of Trade. The Duke of Wellington attended the early servi ce yester day, In the Chapel Royal, St. James's. The Rev. Dr. Wesley officiated and preached the sermon. At the daily service the prayers were read by the Rev. T. Helmore, and the lessons by the Rev. J. V. Powell. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. Sleath. The anthem was, "Lord let me know my end," (Greene). Mr. Turle presided at the organ. Lords Salisbury, Spencer, Fortescue, Ebrington, In gestrie, and Canterbury, were among the nobility present. THE CONTEST- BETVirEEN THE COURTS OF ALDERMEN AND COMMON COUNCIL. Saturday, the committee of the whole court appointed at the last Court of Aldermen, for the purpose of taking into consideration the grand matter in dispute between the two courts assembled in the Guildhall; the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor in the chair. Deputy PEACOCK rose the moment the Lord Mayor took the chair, and congratulated his Lordship upon the excellent temper and judgment exhibited by him in meeting the Common Council in so friendly a disposi tion. Every one, he stated, must have been delighted with the unanimity which existed on the subject of the appointment of the committee, for that unanimity com prehended the belief in the necessity of the reform which must take place in the Court of Aldermen. He and several other members with whom he was in communi cation, entertained the firm conviction that there were three pints which must be carried before it could be said that the court was reformed. The Aldermen must allow the Common Councilmen to make such references as the latter should consider to be expedient for their own govern ment. The Aldermen must not meddle with the city cash, except jointly with the Common Council: an i the Aldermen must be subject to periodical election. These three great principles must be carried during the present mayorality.—(Hear, hear ) After some discussion as to the propriety of opening the doors to the public during the deliberations of the committee, which terminated in permission for strangers to be present. Mr. John Wood continued the protest which he had made`in 'the court against the removal of the notice from the paper of business of the third read ing of the Qualification Bill. Mr. I'. H. HALL suggested the propriety of at once proceeding to the consideration of amending the minutes of the court at which the Lord Mayor refused to put the question. It was evident that a serious misrepresenta tion had been made in entering these minutes; he ad mitted that the error had not originated in the intention of the officer who had made it, but until the corrections were effected no good could be accomplished. He sub mitted a motion recommending to the Court of Common Council to amend the minutes read at the last court. Several members objected to the course just proposed, and were strongly in favour of referring the whole matter connected with the subject to a sub-committee. It was, they said the opinion of some that the minutes were literally, though not in spirit, correct; and of others that there were several inaccuracies in the record. However, there appeared to be no difference at all on the great question as to the right of the Lord Mayor to refuse to put the question of the third reading of the Qualification Bill. The whole subject, they thought, could be much more profitably discussed by the sub committee. As unanimity was considered to be indis pensable in the case, the members, after some observa tions, agreed to the proposition that a sub-committee be appointed to consider the reference from the Common Council of the 21st of January, 1847, with full power to proceed therein, and to report thereon from time to time to the committee. The sub-committee, consisting of a proportionate number of aldermen and common councilmen, was then appointed, and the committee ad journed. CU LTIVATION OF COTTON IN THE EAST INDIES. In our last, we published the memorial of the Hull Cham ber of Commerce on this important subject, to the C mu t o f Directors of the East India Company, and to the Board of Control for the affairs of India. To it, the following satisfac tory reply has been received from Sir John Hobhouse, Bart-, the chairman of the latter department : " India Board, 19th January, 1847. " Sir,--I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, dated the 13th instant, transmitting for my in formation, copy of a memorial, addressed by the Chamber of Commerce of Hull to the Court of Directors of the East India Company, on the subject cf cotton cultivation in India. "In the year 1840, this important subject engaged the earnest attention of the Court of Directors and this Bocrd, and arrangements were then made for testing, on a large scale, the capabilities of India to produce increased supplie , of cotton, adapted for the home market ; and as several of the experiments then introduced are still in progress, you may rest assured that my best considerations will continue to be given to every practical measure having for its object the improvement and increased supply of an article so es sential to the welfare both of India and the United Kingdom.

SUN EXPRESS.—About ten o'c;ock on Wedneadat• morning', we received from Mr. Horn, news agent, a copy of the Express Sun, containing the debate in the liotke of Commons up to half-past eight on the previous evening, another proof of the determination of the proprietors to gratify their readers with the latest news.—Newcastle Chronicle. BRISTOL SUGAR-MARKET, JAN. 22.—1 n the ab• sence of sugars of direct import, a large business has been done in coastwise parcels, at a further adYance of 2s. and 3s. per cwt. on the rates of last week. The refined market is very buoyant, and 70s. is marked for standard quality; treacle, syrup, 325. to 31s.—Bristol Mercury. WATER SUPPLY OF ROME AND LONDON.—The probable supply to the 1,000,000 inhabitants, of which Rome could one time boast, amounted to 50,000,000 cubic feet, being equal to about fifty cubic feet for each individual. This is probably twenty times the quantity which London now receives for each of its inhabitants—a fact which goes far to justify the application of the disgraceful term " bath less" to this the largest, the most opulent, and the most powerful city in the world. How miserably insignificant do our waterworks appear, and how trifling the• supply they ' furnish to this mighty city of more than 2,000,000 persons, when contrasted With the immense flood of pure water poured into old Rome by her gigantic aqueducts I And how discreditable the difference between the two capitals, when we reflect on the far superior resources which modern sci ence has placed at her command, and on the well-known fact, that through the happy constitution of the strata on which London stands, she has at her command—requiring, as it were, but the smiting of the rock to make them gush forth—boundless supplies of the purest possible water.— Mechanics' Mr. Gully, late M.P. for Pontefract, is spoken t f as the second Liberal candidate for Andover.—Doncashr Gazette. The Worshipful Company of Saddlers, B. B. Williams, Esq., master, gave a grand entertainment at their Hall, in Cheapside, on Wednesday last, to the Baron Lionel de Rothschild, the Masters of the Worshipful Com panies of Salters, Dyers, Cutlers, and Joiners, all of whom are intimately connected with Ireland. After the usual loyal toasts, the master gave the health of Baron Rothschild, Captain Colegrave, John Barnes, Esq., hig,h'sheriff of the county of Bucks, an d t h e other visitors. The Baron Roths child returned thanks in an appropriate speech, congratu lating the company upon the unanimity existing with so many influential companies, and feelingly entere I into the present unfortunate state of Ireland, and co :chided by pro posing the health of the master, a very old and sincere friend of his family. The evening was one of great har mony, the musical department being under the able ma nagement of M r . M oody, and did not terminate until a late hour.

This was the petition of the above company for leave to bring in a Bill to make a line from Crediton to Launceston, a distance of 35% miles. The estimated cost was 905,000/. Mr. ELLICOMBE appeared to support five memorials against the petition, signed by 113 individuals. The memorialists complained of defects in the levels, plans, and sections, a n d impugned th e accuracy o f t h e books of reference and notices. Some of the allegations were sustained. The case occupied the whole of the day. • HERRING 'TRADE ---CONTI NENTAL MARKETS. The Commissioners of Supply for the county of Banff bars transmitted a memorial to Government, to obtain the admis sion of British cured herrings into the continental markets on the same terms as those cured in Holland, &c. A more extensive field for our herring trade is much required abroad, and if such an outlet be not secured for this important branch of our native industry, many thousands of our population will be thrown out of employment. In Banffshire alone 800 boats and about 8,000 persons are employed in the severti departments of the herring trade. Some of the circum stances atated by the memorialists are interesting In 1810, the total cure of herrings was ninety thousand, it now exceeds six hundred thousand barrels, on an average, yearly. The failure in the potato crop, for the last two years, has ex ercised a most depressing influence on the price of herrings in the home markets, causing a very great diminution in their consumption ; so much so, that it is consistent with the knowledge of your memorialists, that a great quantity of crown branded full herrings, the produce of this season's catch, remains on hand at the present time in the Irish mar kets, unsaleable at a proportionate rate to the value of pther provisions, or, where forced off, not yielding over 9s. per_ bar • rel—not half the actual cost of the barrel of cured fish as it leaves the curer's hands—a satrifice of property ruinous to those embarked in the trade; and, with a recurrence of the potato failure, your memorialists are fully aware that a most material decline in this br anc h o f our native industry must, in consequence, ensue —save an increased demand can be created abroad for the cured fish. Looking to the continent of Europe, your memorialists find, that Prussia and the Ger man States are, in a manner, the only countries open for the import of British cured herrings at moderate duties (Prussia, 35.); Russia, whose population is very fond of salted her rings, and on which we have strung claims for reciprocity in trade, would consume eliormously, were our herrings admis sible on a parity of duty with those of Norway, on which it amounts to Is. 2d. per barrel, whilst the rate leviable on Bri tish cured amounts to 4s. and 4e. 6d. per barrel, according to the rate of exchange. Your memorialists cannot omit stating that, in consequence of this differential duty, not more than two thousand to three thousand barrels British cured herrings find their way into the Russian markets, being at the same time, well assures that our fine and carefully cured herrings, in comparison with the coarse winter her rings of Norway, would, at an equal, or more moderate duty, ind unlimited consumption amongst the population of the vast empire in question. It is also in the knowledge of your memorialists, that, were the present duty of 16f. exigible on British cured herrings, on importation into Belgium, reduced to that leviable on the cure of the Dutch, viz., sf. per barrel, the country in question would annually draw large supplies of the article from the Scotch ports; whereas, under the existing differential duty, the Dutch fish-curers have a mono poly of the important fish market under notice."—The mer chants, fishcurers, and others interested in the trade and fisheries of Orkney, have also memorialised the Government to the same purpose. They set forth, amongst other disad vantages suffered by the enterprise of Orkney, that whereas the Norwegians have plenty of the best wood for the con struction of herring-boats, at a cost little more th an th e price of cuttin g th e trees, Orkney does not produce timber. The cost of constructing vessels is, of course, enhanced by the duty on foreign timber. Farther, all the articles of foreign pro duce consumed by the Norwegian fishermen are imported at very low rates, while the same articles for British fishermen (such as tea) are heavily burdened. The Orkney memorialists state that the best market' for cod is Spain, and that within these few years a direct trade to a considerable extent had been opened iu that most important branch of the fisheries; but that the trade has been greatly restricted by the import dues, which are, when directly imported in a British bottom, 101. per ton ; indirectly, 121; directly in a Spanish vessel, 6/. 10s. ; indirectly, 8/. 13s. These dues are considered exces sive; while herrings, by the Spanish laws, are, if British cured, altogether excluded. As a nursery for seamen, the memorialists show the northern fishings to be of importance; for, in the last war, Orkney and Shetland furnished upwards of s,ooo'effective seamen for the fleet.—lnverners Courier. ----- - REPRESENTATION OF TAMWORTII.—It is currently reported in this locality that Mr. William Peel, on the part of the Protectionists, has determined to oppose his brother, ; Sir Robert Peel, at the next election ; and likewise, in the event of his doing so, that Captain Townshendiwili contest the seat with Captain A'Court. We give this rumour as it has reached us; but the idea of opposition to the Right Hon. Baronet from such a quarter seems to us so monstrously absurd, that for the sake of Mr. William Peel, we should be sorry to vouch for its correctness. —Birmingham Journal. THE QUEEN'S CONCERT ROOMS, HANOVER-SQUARE. —Menzies annual Caledonian Ball took place at these elegant rooms last Thursday night, and, notwithstanding that several other favourite as , emblies came off in different parts of town the same evening, as well as the very unfavourable state of the weather, this one was patronized by a numerous and highly respectable company. Mr. Menzies, assisted by one of the directors (Mr. Vote), conducted the ceremonies. Adams attended himself as Leader to his famed band, playing all the most choice and fashionable airs ; and Mr. Siackay, his late Royal Highness the Dukeof Sussex's piper, lelighted the Highlanders with strathspeys and reels. The ;upper tables and refreshment rooms were under the super intendence of Mr. Shelley, of the Swan Hotel, Fulham, who dvinced the utmost attention to the wants and comforts of the party, which gave universal satisfaction. The dancing continued with unceasing vigour until an early hour. The whole . of the arrangements reflect credit on the judgment of the directors. Notting was overlooked that tended to the happiness of the company, which all enjoyed to indulgence. I'HE DESTITUTION IN THE BIGHLANDS.—We are 4lad to observe, by advertisement, that Mr. Wilson, the favourite vocalist, has generously announced his intention to give an entertainment on the songs peculiar to the fligh- Leeds of Scotland, in the Princess's Concert-room, on Tues lay evening.

Mr. Graham, of Blackwell-wood, Mr. 11. Ferguson, of Harker, and Mr. Thomas Dockray, of Green Quarries, are among the earliest who have had an accession of lambs to their flocks.
