THE NORTH SIDE of SEBASTOPOL to be
TAKEN.—The plans of operation not being made public, but
a general impression existing that successful measures will soon be
adopted, it is the north and wintery side of the Russian fortifications
which will next fall before the Allies, and furnish another instance
of Military skill and perseverance. The attack on the south has
succeeded, and the surrender or the forts has revealed valuable mill.
tart provisions. By the three of comparison every one will perceive
the analogy between these circumstances and the business of E.
MOSES and SON. The success of their summer campaign has been
fully attested, and has revealed the vast commercial forces they
command. The light, the waterproof, the attractive, and the gen-
tlemanly garments, which have been so approved, have risen above
all criticism, and left every one vocal in praise of the generalship of
E. Moses and Son. The Autumn and Winter season approaches;
the opponents of personal comfitt t must again be combatted ; the
resources are ample and the arrangements complete.

als are seasonable, the designs popular, the effect highly satisfactory,
comfort secured in every way by these garments, and by thousands
of oiler elegant and novel inventions. he north completely con-
quered with superlative Dress, Hosiery, Boots and Shoes, &c., &c.,

CA.UTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the
Public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like
falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or "
the same concern," has been resoi led to in many instances, and for
obvious reasons. Tiaey beg to state that they have
