MATRIMONIAL HOAX AT LEEDS. '
On Tuesday evening last, a clever hoax was played
upon a gentleman at the Bull and Wirth Hotel, in
Briggate, Leeds. Some six weeks or so ago several
matrimonial advertisements appeared in the London
newspapers, from gentlemen wanting wives. Same
members of the Leeds Stock Exchange took it into
their heads to hoax some of these adventurers, and they
accordingly entered into a correspondence with the
parties advertising, adopting for the purpose the name
of Miss Bailey. After some correspondence, two of
the parties sent down photographic likenesses of
themselves, and the third intimated that " he thought
the substance better than the shadow," and suggested
a personal interview. " Miss Bailey" thought so too,
and wrote accordingly, lamenting the awkward posi-
tion she was in, but adding, that she had mentioned
the matter to her brother, who had reluctantly con-
sented to the interview, and had promised to be pre-
sent at the interview as her protector. She also inti-
mated that a cousin of hers kept the inn above named,
and that she and her brother would call at the hotel, and
remain there until the arrival of the stranger, who
was to ask for her by name. By the next post the
languishing swain wrote to say that he would be in
Leeds by the train arriving here at 6.80 rad. on
Tuesday, and would at once drive to the hotel named
in a cab. All this arranged, one of the party here, a
stockbroker, undertook to play the
guardian, and a
clerk from the office was selected to personate the
lady—Miss Bailey; no expense being spared to adorn
the latter with suitable and lady-like apparel. At
,
the appointed hour Miss Bailey and her brother were
seven o'clock, a cab drove up. Miss Bailey and her
brother took their places on a sofa, and on the stranger
at the hotel, waiting in a private room when, at
inquiring for Miss Bailey, •he was shown into the
room. He was a gentleman of about 45, ruddy com-
plexion, and thin hair. He introduced himself as
Mr. H—, of " Atherstone, in a pertain midland
county. The young lady's brother introduced her as
his sister. Mr. H---. was smitten at first sight, for
the young lady's pale and pensive features, the down-
cast eyes, commanding figure, and rich flowing ring-
lets, would have been too much for even a stouter heart
than he could boast of, especially when it was made
known that the proprietor of this graceful form had
1,5001. in her own right. The trio at once proceeded
to business, the brother putting a number of questions
to Mr. H—, all of which were cheerfully and un-
suspiciously answered. Having satisfied the brother
that he was pretty well to do in the world, he added

to the feelings of his heart. Miss Bailey, with be-
coming modesty, rebuked him for " such foolish-
ness," and his too familiar advances. In a short
time the brother returned, and said he had met
with a few members of the family, whom he
proposed to introduce at once. Mr. was in
raptures, and desired him to introduce them forth-
with, but be was somewhat astonished to find that in
a few minutes not less than one hundred jovial souls,
who had been waiting below, rushed into the room
to laugh at him and the hoax which had been
played. In an instant Miss Bailey disappeared, while
uncles, cousins, and other relatives shook him by the
hand one after another. As soon as he found he was
hoaxed, Mr. H— made a rush at the staircase, but
mistook his way, and got into the bar of the house in-
stead of to the outer door. He was instantly penned
in on all sides, so that he could not escape, but was
compelled to listen to the reading of the whole cor-
respondence, and, at last, in reply to the health of
" Miss Bailey," a gentlemanly-looking young man,
who had been sitting beside Mr. II --, smoking a
cigar, rose and acknowledged the compliment, and de-
scribed the scene in the room when her brother left
her. Eventually the Atherstone lover decamped, and
has not since been heard of.

with the Thames Haven Company. They meeting

originallywEaasstern Coun-
ties at Romford to Shell Haven on the Thames. He
believed that the Thames Haven Company had. don
very little in constructing their line. They had somee
land, and had constructed quays at Shell Haven.
When the London, Tilbury, and Southend Company
were before Parliament, the Thames Haven Compy
looked upon them with great jealousy and opposedan
them. The parties who conducted the Bill, with a
view to save expense, and influenced by a feeling to
act fairly by the Thames Haven Company, intimated
their desire to come to terms with them. The origi-
nal capital of the Tilbury and Southend line was in-
tended to be 450,0001., but owing to the whole of the
capital not being subscribed, they were obliged to limit
it to 400,0001, the rest being for a branch to Shell
Haven. They, therefore, proposed to the Thames
ap-
prove nobTtjvhl
projected
of an
Haven Company to take that part of their line, and
upon that understanding the latter withdrew their
opposition to the Bill, and it subsequently received
the sanction of Parliament.
Mr. MAYNARD, the solicitor, then read the heads
of the agreement entered into between the directors
of the Blackwall and Eastern Counties Railway Com-
panies on the one part, and the Thames Haven Com-
pany on the other part, from which it appeared that
the Thames Haven Company had agreed to withdraw
their opposition to the Bill, to make a single line from
a certain point on the-Tilbury line to-Shell Haven .;
to abandon the remaining portion of the line from
Mucking to Romford; and give up 20 acres of land
having a frontage to the river of 12 chains in length;
and to apply for an Act of Parliament to sanction the
abandonment and to confirm the agreement. In con-
sideration of withdrawing the Bill and giving up the
undertaking, the Tilbury and Southend Company
are to pay the Thames Haven Company 48,000/., or
4 per cent. thereon until paid, also giving the Thames
Haven Company the option of receiving that amount
in shares instead of in money. The eighth clause
provides that the Tilbury Company should have the
remainder of the farm at Shell Haven at the price of
1001. per acre. If an Act cannot be obtained to
sanction the agreement it is to be void.
The CHAIRMAN proposed a resolution to the effect
that the provisional agreement entered into with the
Thames Haven Dock and Railway Company be ap-
proved and confirmed, and authorising the joint com-
mittee to carry the same into effect.
Mr. J. WILsoN seconded the motion.
In reply to

agree-
ment without the sanction of Parliament.
Mr. NORRIS had a great objection to branch lines.
Looking at all the railways paying low dividends, it
would be found that improvident bargains for branch
lines bad been the chief cause of their depressed con-
dition, and be was therefore very jealous of branch
lines.
Mr. WADDINGTON, M.P., said, the observations of
Mr. Norris would apply to railways generally, but
not to this particular case. So far as this company
was concerned there was nothing to affect the 6 per
cent. dividend. The Thames Haven Company were
offering a strong opposition to the bill at the time the

passed the Commons, it was not quite so certain that
they would have passed the Lords had the oppo-
sition been continued. The contracting parties
were obliged to submit the matter to the share-
holders of both companies within three months
from the passing of the Act for the Tilbury line;
and having obtained the sanction of the shareholders
to the agreement, the directors would have to ask
them for authority to go to Parliament for power to
raise 48,0001. For this sum they would have four
miles of railway and 20 acres of land, and the pro-
prietors having an interest in half the profits, whatever
might arise from that branch Ulu- would have their
share of it without iglurringirny liability. The con-
struction of this brWh was likely to increase their
dividend.

C " The age of Chivalry is gone, and that of Economists and
Calculators has succeeded." The glory of the age 05 chivalry con-
sisted in the attire of the knight being suitable for his sporting or
military avocations ; the age of chivalry is therefore restored by the
designs in costume, Introduced and perfected by E. MOSES and
SON. Stylish fit, comfort in wear, novelty in materials, and splen-
dour in finish are some of the features of E. MOSES and SON'S
Sporting Dress.
As Economists, they have reduced the price to the most reasonable
scale, and as Calculators, have attained the most desirable elevation
from which they supply magnificent Dress to Ladies, Gentlemen, or
Mechanics. Coats, light and waterproof, gems of modern art, useful
but not cumbersome, agreeable wear in shower or sunshine, these
Coats are enclosed in a neat case, or may be put into the pocket of
an ordinary Dress Coat ; these are introductory to hundreds of new
styles to be presented by E. MOSES and SON for Autumn.
WHO SHOULD EMIGRATE, AND WHO SHOULD OUTFIT?
The capitalist, the industrious, the agriculturalist, the mechanic,
in fact every man who deserves to participate in wealth and possess
property, but labour must proceed enjoyment, the journey must go
before the possession, and such articles as are needed for both are
called an Outfit. E. MOSES and SON name a few of their qualifi-
cations, and let the Emigrant judge "who should Outfit."
They have an immense wholesale department, where capitalists
may make the most eligible investments, and where Goods suitable
for Australia, or any other country may be procured at such prices
as will afford the amplest profit on every purchase. From this de-
partment families emigrating will derive the highest advantages.
They keep a stock of hosiery, Boots, and Shoes, &c., for the
" Diggings," and Dress of every description expressly prepared
with the most accurate acquaintance with any voyage or climate,
on this the Emigrant may implicitly depend.
Many years experience In Outfitting on the largest scale has put
them in possession of an exclusive power in procuring, manntae_
facturing, and arranging Outfits, to which they appropriate a sepa-
rate department in their gigantic establishment, where every Emi-
grant at once sees the purposes they are intending to serve. " Who
then can Outfit" like E. MOSES and SON.
Full Lists of Outfits, and all information relative to sailing of
vessels and cost of passage may be had on application, or post free
to any part of the kingdom.
SPECIAL NOTICE, the Establishments will be closed on TUES-
DAY and WEDNESDAY next, September 14 and 15, resuming
business on THURSDAY morning, September 16, at Seven o'clock.
CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the
public against imposition, having learned that the untradesmanlike
falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's
the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for
obvious reasons. They beg to state that they have

Such are cases ix., xi., xii., and xviii. No. ix. had resisted, for a
period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally
removed in as many weeks. But cases xviii. and xix. appear,
in duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag-

to have been almost entirely confined to within 100

justly suffered for their piratical attack upon Cabs,
was announced to take place on the Ist in St. Pitrick's
Cathedral, New York. A large number of persons,

create among the Roman Catholic body, and parti-

of the religious ceremomies, the Cuban sympathisers
adjourned to a house in Broadway, when several in-

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.
By the arrival, at 8 45 P.M. yesterdey, of the
United States mail steam-ship Atlantic, Vi est corn-
mender, we have advices from New York to the 4th
instant. She brought 300,000 dollars in specie on
freight.
On the sth, at 5 A.M., the Atlantic passed the
United States' steam-ship Artie, with the mails of the
25th ult. from Liverpool.
The United States' mail steam-ship Washington,
with the mails of the 18th from Southampton, arrived
at New York on the Ist inst. ; and the Royal Mail
steam-ship America, with the mails of the 22d from
Liverpool, arrived ar, Boston on the Ist.
The New York Herald gives the following ac-
count of the cruise of the United States' steam-
frigate Mississippi, Commodore Perry, to the fishing-
grounds :
" The favourite steam-frigate Mississippi, Captain J.
M'Cluney, bearing the broad pennant of Commodore
Matthew C. Perry, arrived at this port about eight
o'clock on Wednesday morning from en active and im-
portant cruise of thirty-two days. Commodore Perry
sailed frou New York on Saturday, the 31st of July,
having
received orders, accompanied by private and particular instructions, from the President
to investigate the circumstances attending .the seizure
of some of our fishing vessels by the British cruisers.
The selection of
arduous duty, aided by Perryfor
Commodore
the Mississippi, was such officers as are attached to
cool discernment of th
most judicious and well-timed. The
well-known and tried courage, Commodore, combined with his
a fact rendered him peculiarly
fitted for the task—,andwhaielh is proved by the satis-
factory result obtained,nationalso by the gratifying de-
monstrations of personal and
him and to our flag by all the British respect paid to
port at which he touched. Having parted

New York, the Mississippi ran up es
anchored on tae 3d of August. Thisoistr etu'awetessehile,
and the entire population turned u
.a gala day,
officers and crew. They were dressed as to
er
receive her
and came with bands playing and colours flying to wel-
come the defenders of the pour fisherman's rights,
same joy was manifested during her stay of %rtee.e days,The
and at her departure an adieu was spoken by 1,000
tongues, and hundreds of bright eyes beamed their own
inspiration into the hearts of our hardy sailors. The
frigare arrived at St. John's, New Brunswick, on the
7th of August, and was received by a grand salute
from shore, in honour of our Government. Commo-
dore Perry was visited next day by all the British
officers and functionaries, military and civil, sta-
tioned or resident at the place. A most cordial in-
vitation to go on shore was extended to the Conamo-
dote and officers of the Mississippi by the Gover-
nor and heads of departments. Commodore Perry,
accompanied by some of the officers of the Mississippi,
went on shore next day. The commodore was received,
on landing by a full uaard of honour selected from the
721 Highlanders—ono of the mo't distinguished regi-
ments in the British service. The magnificent costume
of the soldiers, and the precision of their evolutions,
had a fine effect. In the evening he dined with the
Governor of New Brunswick and the officers of the 72d.
The most harmonious feeling prevailed. Next day the
commodore, etill accompanied by the officers of the fri-
gate, visited Frederickton—the seat of Government—
where they were received by Colonel Murray, the ad-
ministrator of the British Government at that place,
with a salute of artillery, the music of a full military
band, and a guard of honour, formed by another section
of the Highlanders. They were entertained at dinner,
in the evening, by Colonel Murray, who commands the
72d, and met many distinguished British officers. Hila-
rity and good feeling prevailed, and the most favour-
able impressions were preduced on both sides. On the
succeeding day Commodore Perry and officers dined
with the British Provincial Secretary, and on the fol-
lowing they were entertained at a grand dejeuner by the
Attorney-General of the Province. During this time
Commodore Perry had an opportunity for many private
interviews and consultations with the highest military,
civil, and judioial authorities of the British provin-
cial Government, of which he fully availed himself,
and at which our national honour was maintained, and
cur fishery rights not forgotten. The commanding
officer, Colonel Murray, with others of the high British
authorities, visited the Mississippi next day, in comparl'
with Commodore Perry. They were received with a
, salute of eight guns, taken over the vessel, and enter-
tained at lunch. In the evening Commodore Perry, the
officers of the Mississippi, the Governor and high at•
tack's of the British Government, attended a grand ball
given them by the citizensf St. John's. The steamer
left St: John's upon the 13th of August, and arrived at
Halifax upon the 15th. Here she met the British man-
ot-war ship Cumberland, of 80 guns, bearing the flag of
Vice-Admiral Sir G. F. Seymour, and also the British
steamer Basilisk. Salutes of national and personal re-
spect were fired from the Cumberland and Mississippi,
and visits of the most friendly character were inter-
changed between the commanders and officers. The next
day Commodore Perry and the officers of the Mississippi
dined at the private residence of Sir G. Seymour on
shore by spseial invitation; a large party of officers end
the most distinguished citizens met them at dinner. In
the meantime a long private interview took place between
Commodore Perry nod Sir G. Seymour regarding the
question at issue. Judging from the good feeling of the
party in the evening, it must have been most amicable.
Next day the officers of both nations were entertained
at a very splendid dinner given by the Right Rev. Dr.
Walsh, Roman Catholic Bishop of Nova Scotia.
This dinner was consequent upon the consecra-
tion of a Catholic bishop, and a great number
of distinguished guests, among the rest the Right
Rev. Archbishop Hughes, of Now York, were present.
During the next and following days a vast number of
officers of the British Government, civil employes, private
citizens, ladies, and mechanics visited the Mississippi,
and were received with that true American urbanity of
manner for which Captain Dl‘Cluney and his officers are
so remarkable. They were taken over the ship, and
went away highly pleased with all they saw. The 18th
of August Commodore Perry and the officers of the Mis-
sissippi dined, by invitation, with the colonel and officers
of the Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers, the two
most powerful arms of the British land forces. The dis-
tinguished hosts and their veteran guests were highly
delighted with each other, and parted with regret. The
Mississippi being always ready, went to sea on the morn-
ing of the 19th, and made for the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
On the 21st she anchored off the agdalen Islands,
where a great many fishing vessels wero boarded. Com-
modore Perry, in every instance, was most particular in
communicating to each the intentions of Government as
to the line of conduct they should pursue. The vessel
was afterwards run across the mouth of the Bay Chaleur,
and anchored occasionally tat night off Prince Edward's,
Island. During her stay there the Commodore caused a
large number of vessels to be boarded, conveying advice
and instruction in each instance to our fishermen. The
British steam-ship Devastation lay off Prince Edward's
Island, and her captain went on board the Mississippi,
and paid his respects personally to Commodore Perry.
In the evening they had a long private interview regard-
ing the fisheries. Tho Mississippi stood north
August 26, and soon rounded Cape Breton, and still
steaming homeward, arrived in the river yesterday
morning."
Numerous political meetings, Democratic, Whig,
and Webster, had been held in various parts of the
Union. The Democrats assembled in great force at
New York on the 2d, when General Cass, who was
well received, delivered a lengthy address :--
