SPORTING.

All Sportsmen are reminded of the superiority of the Dress made
by E. Moses and Sox, of the gentlemanly appearance of their Sport-
ing Costume, of the new style and materials which appear in the
manufactures of E. MOSES and SoN, of the easy fit and serviceable
workmanship displayed in the Sporting Attire, which may be pro-
cured at the Establishment and Branch Establishments of E. MOSES
and Sox.
The Dress for Sportsmen made by E. MOSES and Sox has always
produced universal satisfaction; but thA present novelties !save still
higher claims to the patronage of all classes of sportsmen, and in-
spection of their equipments for sporting exercises will fully demon-
strate that E. MOSES and SON must ,continue the Tailors, Hatters,
Hosiers, and Bootmakers for all lovert of old English field sports.

( From the Times of this day.)
The splendid ceremonial with which the Emperor
of the French proceeded on Thursday last to N otre
Dame to return thanks to Almighty God for the
victory which had crowned the arms of the Allies,
and the public rejoicings in Paris and in many other
parts of France to celebrate this great event, were
doubtless intended by the, French Government to
convoy to the nation a lively conception of the
magnitude and importance of this achievement.
In this"country the enthusiasm called forth by the
glorious termination of the siege of Sebastopol has
been genuine, universal, and entirely spontaneous.
The Government has done nothing, beyond the
firing of the Park guns, to excite or encourage the
exultation of the country, and it must be said that
among us no fugleman was 'needed to lead the
public rejoicings. Throughout the United Kingdom
the siege of Sebastopol, the sufferings of the army,
the heroic valour of our troops, and the ultimate
success of the expedition have been for nearly
twelve months the familiar household thoughts of
every member of this community. The operations
of the army have been watched with all the in-
tensity of passionate interest. The convictions
of the wise and the instincts of the ignorant
pointed to the same end, and we all felt alike
that the honour of England and her allies was
pledged to succeed in this undertaking. Sebastopol,
in every form, by charts, by prints, and by the
ever-varying records of the siege, was continually
before us, and, the people of England may fairly
be said, during the whole period, to have given
their undivided attention to this object, and to
have sacrificed it to every other consideration. We
owe this concentration of the national will, and
this deep national interest in the common cause,
mainly to the freedom of discussion which has
never ceased among us. The English press, com-
manding means of observation not enjoyed by its
continental rivals, and possessing a degree of liberty
to which they have long been strangers, has power-
fully contributed to kindle and sustain this moral
element of our national strength, and our Parlia-
mentary debates and inquiries have, of course, pro-
moted the same object. Take away those great
and living organs of national life, and you may
have official rejoicings and splendid pageants, but
you lose the union of interest and intelligence , which
gives birth to enthusiasm. In France the war has
hitherto been less popular than in England, be-
cause less was known about it—it was less under-
stood. The reports published by the journals of
the Government are read with distrust, and that
portion of the press which is adverse or disaffected
to the Government had used its influence to lower
the confidence of the public in the operations of
the army. It required, therefore, an extraordinary
display of the magnificence of the Court, a solemn
thanksgiving, and a popular festival to satisfy the
public that an event of such incalculable import-
ance had actually taken place.
In England the effect of General Simpson's
modest and unpretending despatch was instan-
taneous, universal, and complete. No man required
to be told twice the meaning of the words, " Sebas-
topol is in our hands ;" for they were no more
than the fulfilment of our confident expectations
and our ardent hopes. We have watched with some
curiosity the different effects produced by this intelli-
gence on the continent, where they have been upon
the whole less forcible, but not less instructive. The
fall of Sebastopol, happening when it did, appears
in a great measure to have taken by surprise those
persons on the continent who are most favourable
to the policy of the Western Powers ; but far more
did it surprise and confound those who'derive their
information from St. Petersburg, and who had
been duped to the last moment by. Russian agents.
Probably we have yet to learn that those who re-
ceived the news with the greatest astonishment of
all were the Russians themselves, though the ad-
missions of Prince Gortschakoff's last deSpatches
might have prepared them for a catastrophe. Thus
struck by the calamity they had hoped to avert,
appalled by the superiority of position which this
victory gives to the Western Powers, and alarmed
by the obvious failure cf the Russian army, a large
proportion of the German and Belgian press have
either received the news in sullen silence, or affect
to discredit the circumstances proclaimed by the
English press to the world : while one Belgian
paper, notoriously a Russian organ, has the un-
paralleled impudence to assert that the loss of the
south side of Sebastopol is rather a gain than other-
wise to the army commanded by Prince Gortscha-
koff. We do not believe this state of things to be a
correct representation of public feeling on the con-

tinent. iVe have no dolibt that the fall of Sebas-
topol has been hailed throughout Europe as a glo-
rious and auspicious event, and a heavy blow to
Russia, and that the terms in which we have at-
tempted to describe its effects have been circulated
in every European language, and read with joy by
the nations sating in darkness and afar off. But
such is the slavish condition of a large portion of the
continental press, that it is only by borrowing and
translating the sentiments of an English journal
that they express their own opinions, and the Ger-
man newspapers are evidently less free than they
were a year ago to hail the defeat of Russia as a
national triumph.
To the Austrian Government we have no doubt
that the fall of Sebastopol is a welcome event. It
terminates one act of the war, and insures one of
the disputed conditions of peace ; it materially
weakens Russian influence and power, and destroys
the spell which has so long hung over Eastern
Europe. These advantages are, however, balanced
by the consideration that the Western Powers,
having accomplished the most difficult part of their
undertaking unaided by Austria, will be less than
ever bound by the mutual engagements she has
declined to fulfil. The state of Italy presents se-
rious grounds of anxiety, and the gallant conduct
of Sardinia in this campaign entitles her to that
support from the alliance which Austria has for-
feited. In short, although this event is one which
the Cabinet of Vienna has long desired, no sooner
has it occurred than the consequences of the deser-
tion of the treaty of the 2d of December by that
Power 'will become more strikingly obvious and
palpable. It happens, perhaps unfortunately for
Austria, that a Russian despatch by Count Nessel-
rode has transpired just at this moment, though
written as long ago as in June last, in which that
wily Minister affects to establish a perfect identity
of views between " the Imperial Courts" on all the
conditions of peace ; but, on the other hand, Count
Buol has so far been enabled to remain faithful
to his own political relations with the Western
Powers that he has rejected all the overtures and
insinuations of Prince Gortschakoff, on the ground
that Austria is bound by treaty to enter into no
separate negotiation with Russia on the subject of
the war: These transactions were, however, ante-
rior to the great event of the past week, and we
are still entirely ignorant of the effect which the
loss of Sebastopol and the critical position of Prince
Gortschakoff's army may produce on the attitude
of the Russian Cabinet towards the rest of Europe.
The Emperor Alexander has chosen the present
time, it seems, for an excursion to Moscow and to
Warsaw, the latter capital being probably his real
destination. The moment at which lie will enter
the Kremlin is not a fortunate one ; nor will he
find much more ground for satisfaction in the Polish
provinces. But it remains to be seen whether the
sacrifices of war and the pangs of defeat will rouse
the fanaticism of the Russian people or will depress
their courage. At St. Petersburg the party of the
Grand Duke Constantine, who is passionately en-
gaged in thd war, is said to exercise an undisputed
influence, and the changes recently made in two of
the principal departments of the Government are
all favourable to the same destructive policy.
These are the men who are really exhausting the
resources and destroying the political and military
character of their country, and it is on them that
the burden of humiliation and defeat ought justly
to fall. Nor can we doubt that the evacuation of
Sebastopol will produce a feeling of consternation
in the Russian capital, which will probably be fol-
lowed by still stronger efforts for the defend° of the
empire.

( From, the Daily News of this day.)
We learn from our Roman correspondent that
the inhabitants of the " eternal city" have been
somewhat mystified by a visit from two Russian
generals en route for Naples. These unexpected
visitors, it is true, appear to have spent most of
their time at Rome in the studios of the artists,
from some of whom they made purchases. The
Romans, however, cannot be persuaded that Russia
can spare its generals at present on dilletavte plea-
sure trips ; and the notorious leanings of the Nea-
politan Court have rendered them doubly suspici-
ous of these northern Nizecenases. For our own
part we fear little from any Russian agents, who
travel about after a fashion that rather courts than
repels publicity ; and no doubt Russia, like our-
selves, has some generals whose services in time of
war may safely be dispensed with. But we have
no doubt that the diplomatic agency of Russia is at
this moment extremely active throughout Europe,
and that we have more to fear from its activity
than from the armies of the Czar. The singular
