THE PRIZE CATTLE SHOW The Christmas Cattle Show, in Portman-square, Draws many thousands with its prizes rare ; Nor need we wonder much, for such a sight Is calculated to afford delight. 'Tis most amusing to behold a prize, Bolling in fatness—twice its usual size. The greedy pigs, reclining half asleep, With here and there a group of waddling sheep. And the huge lazy oxen calmly snoozing, Are objects which are certainly amusing. But there's an exhibition, you must know, More pleasing than the Christmas Cattle Show; MOSES and SON'S display of prize attire, Is something which the public all admire. The show at MOSES' Mart does not appear At Christmas time alone, but all the year. Their celebrated Show-rooms never lack Prize Coats and Waistcoats to adorn the back, Prize Over Coats and Trousers, too, are there. More prized than any prize in Portman-square. MOSES and SON beg, therefore, to advise, An early application for a prize. Let all who prize their health adept the plan, Of well preparing for the outward man ; And those who prize appearance we apprize, Of what our Prize Establishment supplies. MOSES and SON'S prize garments all admire, And own them to be prizeable attire; Tlia least dissatisfaction there is not, But all who purchae dress, no matter what, Exclaim, delighted, " What a prize I've got • LIST OF PRICES. &UV!

Diffidence, or a sense of right determine 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 on coesprosing harry; but the troth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social contest. 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 dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash pat forth on the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, by post la. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volfune, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's iffe,whe owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do ante others as he would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always on the " sunny side of the way."

INsfitehes were sent off yesterday ev e ni ng f rom the •Cohmial-office, for the Governors of the West India colonies, Otfiening f-.!,Aut LONDON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1847, The principle of religious tolerance is triumphant . Virtually and morally the question of Jewish disabili ties is already decided, and one of the noblest of the Hebrew race in England will very speedily be per mitted to enter Parliament as a representative of the British metropolis. After the brilliant and logical oration delivered yesterday evening by Lord JOHN RUSSELL; after the sagacious arguments of Mr. W. J. Fox; after the close reasoning and the syllogistic explicitness of Mr. GLADSTONE ; and es pecially after the eloquent and impassioned adjura tions pronounced by the lips of Mr. DISRAELI, it would be preposterous to anticipate any other con clusion to the discussion upon the motion introduced by the Prime Minister, than one' which will vindicate the Constitution of the empire, and proclaim the Christianity of its inhabitants. To effect this double advantage, those expressions must be expunged from the Oath of Abjuration which have hitherto tended to the ex clusion of Israelites from the national Legislature. As the Noble Premier averxed, the measure is "rather a moral than of t‘.. physical or political necessity." It is a moral necessity that the law should not pronounce a Jew disqualified from serving as a burgess in the Imperial Parliament, simply because of the doctrines of his, august and venerable faith, and yet have the inconsistency to countenance the naturalization of the Jewish people, their elevation to the magistracy, and their nomination to a seat in our municipal corporations.* It is a moral necessity that such incongruities should beobliterated from the statute-book; that the senators of the United Kingdom should prove themselves to be Christians by the exercise of that charity which is the most glorious among its virtues; that the same indulgence should be shown towards the children of ABRAHAM as is already displayed towards the disciples of ARIUS, of WILLIAM PENN, and of all the mourn ful but glorious promoters of infidelity. Already, in 1830, the same proposition was negatived by the House of Commons as the one just introduced by the First Miniater, of the Crown. The time had not arrived for the consummation.of the great crusade in favour of religious freedom. The population was scarcely prepared for the recognition'of that sublime principle. Since that period a marvellous change has been effected, not merely throughout the inhabi tants of these realms, but throughout the length and breadth of Christendom. Popular opinion is unani mous in its advocacy of tolerance in matters of an ecclesiastical character. It would sweep into oblivion those execrable penal enactments against the profes sion of Roman Catholicism which are the last shreds of the dark and bloody code of fanaticism. It would abrogate everything that tends to the depression of the Hebrew or the heretic. It would as soon re vive the devilish animation of an auto-da fe as it would dream of allowing the resumption of our old er Comburendo, system of bi go t r y. I t would as read i ly su b scr ib e to the ordonations of th e l aw De Ik etico as it would thi n k o f e. t*A nabaptist from a JEC ing an town-hall, or a Wesleyan from the courts of justice, or a Quaker from the House Of Commons. Public Opinion has gradually ripened to this state of uni versal toleran ce; it v i ews the fundamental dogma of the constitution i n precisely the same light as that in w hi ch it is pourtrayed by Lord J OHN R USSELL ; it considers that " every English subject is entitlEd to the privileges and advantages which the British Constitution yields, that religious opinions ought not to be a bar or disqualification of th ose r ight s , that the laws o f England are th e bi rthright of the people, and that ' there is no great er hardship to the people than to be deprived of th e pr i vilege of serving their prince or their country." Public Opinion is so far actuated by these ennobling sentiments that it is solicitous to see the invidious di s ti nctions of creed removed from the scheme of our Government ; And all the more intellectual Members of the House of Commons are proclaiming their coincidence with Public Opinion. Zealous as the minorit =,;t f th e dissentients have prov e d themselves to be, i n the y°G persons of Sir R. 11.

Lord As ti " Y may recoil from the homely force of that remark of Mr. MACAULAY, that " to talk - of an as die essentially Chris tian Government was about as to talk of essentially Protestant cookery, or ess entially acknowledge Chris tian horsemanship," hut he must the accuracy of the observation ma deh y Mr. GLAD..

Caucasian accents--" On every sacred day you read to the people the exploits of Jewish heroism, the proofs of Jewish devotion, the brilliant annals of their past magnificence !" We have on several occasions directed the public attention to the loose and inefficient manner in which prosecutions are frequently conducted, and which, in many instances, has led to the total fai!ure of justice, and the escape of the parties accused from the punishment due to the crimes of which no doubt as to their actual guilt could exist. Another illus tration of the absurdity of the present system was yesterday afforded at the Central Criminal Court, on the trial of the prisoners charged with the murder of the late Mr. BELL.' CHAMBERS, and although the law was vindicated, and a conviction had against two of the parties, the result does not in the slightest degree affect the argument as to the impolicy of affording such chances of impunity to persons accused of so heinous an offence. The able and talented advocate who was accidentally present, and who, when the prisoners had actually been given in charge to the jury, so that there was no longer the possibility of any postpone ment of the trial, consented, at the request of the Court, to conduct the prosecution, was placed in a most unfair position. The case was one mainly de pendent on circumstantial evidence, of all others the most difficult to unravel, and to place in a proper light before the jury. Everything depended on the due connexion of the several links of the chain, and any break, however trifling, must have ended in the acquittal of the prisoners. It is unnecessary to say that the eminent counsel engaged most ably and effectively discharged the onerous duty he bad taken upon himself, and that every material fact contained in the depositions was elicited and fairly brought before the Court ; but the Learned Gentleman was unable to detail these various facts in the first instance, or to show their connexion the one with the other. He was obliged to state to the jury his utter ignorance of the circumstances of the case, which he was compelled to collect from the several depositions, and to arrange on the spur of the moment during the course of the proceedings. The want of a properly instructed counsel on behalf of the prosecution was no less unfair to the jury, and even to the prisoners themselves. The jury were deprived of the usual history of the case, which is ordinarily given before the witnesses are produced. They were obliged to discover the bearing of the se veral facts, to connect them together without any assistance or explanation previous to the Judge's charge. They, perhaps, lost the opportunity of put ting questions, which might have been of the greatest importance ; and it is possible that a certain degree of prejudice might have been thereby excited against the accused. The address of an advocate is like a two-edged sword—it cuts both ways :if the case is clear it tells with powerful effect against the parties on whose guilt or innocence the jury are to pronounce their verdict, the various parts of the case are skilfully arranged, and so dove tailed into each other as to clearly establish the truth of the accusation. On the other hand, any deficiency of evidence, any failure of proof is much more easily detected from such a statement than from the answers of the witnesses, which the jury must follow with the closest attention. The presiding judge, too, is in a certain degree changed into a counsel for the prose cution, and obliged to urge the points bearing most hardly upon the prisoners in a stronger manner than might have been the case if they had previously been commented upon by the counsel. Such observations comirg from the judgment-seat, have much greater weight than if they proceeded from any other quarter and thus the case for the defence may be seriousl prejudiced. It is not our desire to cast any censure upon any of the parties to whom we have alluded, or to express any op'nion respecting the guilt or innocence of the unfortunate men now under sentence of death. It is the fault of the system to which we have allude,), which permits the onus of the prosecution to rest upon private individuals in place of devolving upon a public prosecutor, whose duty it should be to act in every criminal case on behalf of the Crown. The injury to the party aggrieved is merged in the outrage on society. It would not be competent for any but the Chief Magistrate to extend pardon to the offenders; nor should it appear as if motives of revenge had anything to do with the punishment that might be adjudged. But so long as private prosecu tions are not only sanctioned, but rendered almost imperative from the neglect of the authori ties, such will appear to be the case, and the cause of public justice will be seriously injured. The practice in Scotland as to the mode of conducting criminal investigations is in every respect superior to that adopted in this country ; and we trust that its speedy introduction will prevent the constant repetition of such neglect as that to which we have just alluded. Lord MINTO had a private audience of the POPE on he 10th. The Diane of Rome announces the death at the convent of Sainte Marie, in that city, of Mgr. FRANCIS OTINAN, of the order of the Preaching Brothers, Bishop of Killaloe, in Ireland. By a recent decree of the King of SARDINIA, the entry and departure of vessels to and from ports of that kingdom, and the Custom-house operations con• sequent thereon are henceforth to be allowed to take place on Sundays and holidays, as well as on other days, This reform is considered of great importance to commence.

On Tuesday the grand Reform banquet of the electors of the 14th arrondissement of the Seine, took place at St. Denis. Eleven hundred electors sat down to dinner. MM. LAYSTERIE, ODILLON BARROT, and Dime other Deputies were present. The health of the KING was not proposed, but the toast to the Sove reignty of the People, which was substituted for it, was drank with enthusiastic plaudits. The Union Monarchiqus says, that the Emperor of RUSSIA, has at length consented to give to M. DE KISSELEEF, the title of Minister Plenipotentiary at Paris, and that in consequence the Marquis of DAL-. MATIA (the son of Marshal Souvr) will be ap pointed Minister Plenipotentiary to Russia. According to the Presse, M. GUIZOT has deter mined to recal M. Bois LE COMTE from Switzerland. In the same journal we find the following extract of a letter from Berne, dated 10th instant : " I am informed by a person in a high position that Sir Stratford Canning said to his Excellency the Presi dent of the Diet, at their interview yesterday, that he was charged by the English Government to remit to him a note conceived in the same terms as those of France, Austria, and Prussia ; but that, as it had been ill in formed as to the state of Switzprland, he deemed it pro per to suspend the delivery of the note until he had re ferred to his Government."
