MIGRANTS' PROSPECTS.

emigrants in search ot employment and competency,
ti-- ''"e great distance between England's shores and emigrant sta-
,...nas renders a suitable OUTFIT ties first subject of consideration
Wh"11 every emigrant. It is impossible for the emigrant to anticipate
at he will most need on his passage, or what will be most useful

5.,,' 110SES and SON, who have for many years paid the strictest at-
"'llion to the Outfitting Deportment, and are fully acquainted with
fevery article required by the emigrant to any country or climate.
-e Prospects of emigrants are therefore rendered cheering by the
ht, that every useful article in clothing for any emigrant station
In the world can be obtained at E. MOSES and SON'S on the shortest
notice.
Whatever country the emigrant may choose, he must have money
for the journey: the economical charges for Outfits at E. MO ES
and SON'S leave the emigrant in possession of a sum in many in-
stances equal to tn, cost of his passage.
The emigrant should never entertain the idea of furnishing himself
with necessary articles In a foreign country ; that is frequently im-
possible, and when he is so unfortunate as to make the attempt, the
articles aro unsuitable, and charged enormous prices. Application
to E. MOSES and SON obviates all these inconveniences, and fur-
nishes the emigrant with the prospect of comfort at a small cost.
Whatever may be the emigrant's propects in reference to his future
occupation, E. MO Ate and SON can always 1- pp l him with suit-
able dress for any business .

MATRICIDE IN FRANCE.
One of the crimes committed in connexion with the
insurrection of December, in the provinces, which
created most sensation, was, it may be remembered,
the murder of a woman named Richer, of Valence, by
her son, for political motives. This man was tried
two days ago by a court-martial at Lyons. It was
proved that he was a drunken and dissolute fellow,
and that he had been admitted to the secret political
society called the Jeune Montagne. He had fre-
quently threatened his mo her to kill her if she ever
revealed his connexion with the society. On returning
home at a late hour in the night of the 6th of Decem-
ber he went into his mother's room and seated himself
on her bed. She told him to go to bed, but he
remained in the room until about three o'clock. He
then told her that that was the hour at which the
insurrection was to break out, and prepared to leave,
but she prevented him. An hour after he heard cries
in the street, and said, " There—the insurrection has

begun." Biit his mother said, " Stop at home. my 1
dear Benjamin ; it will cause me too much pain if you
13° away.' He, however, went out, and on his return
found hismother weeping. Bet, according to his own
*reeogu:lnl tii, he fancied that her tears were hypocritical.
She said to him that ho would do well to mind his
"n business, and not meddle with politics, and
011 her recommendation he went into his bedroom,
busthee took him up some milk, and earnestly

THE ARMY.

THE 4TH LIGHT DmActoorts.—This fine regiment,
the Queen's Own Light .Dragoons, four troops of the
corps having been stationed at Woolwich, and two
troops at Hampton Court. under the command of Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Lord George A. F. Paget, since October
last, have been placed under orders to change their
quarters, and two troops will kayo Woolwich, on the
15th instant, for Norwich barracks. The two troops
(head-quarters) will leave Woolwich on the 16th inst. •
for the head-quarters of the troops to be stationed at
Ipswich barracks. It was originally intended that the
4th Light Dragoons should move from Woolwich to
Nottingham, in the northern district; but their destina-
tion has been changed, and will take place as above
stated. The Bth King's Light Dragoons (Hussars), at
present stationed at Hounslow under the command of
Lieutenant-Colonel F. G. Shewell, will move to Notting-
ham, where they are to be stationed.
THE MIME lIIFLE.—FieId-Manalal his Grace the
Doke of Wellington, Commarider-in-Chief, arrived at
Woolwich on Thursday, shortly after eleven o'clock, ac-
companied by Colonel Lord Charles Wellesley, and
proceeded to the marshes to witness the practice then
beinfr carried on with the Minis rifle, or new pattern
musket. The gallant field-marshal was received by
Licuzenant•General George Brown, C. 8., K.H., Adje-
taut-General, and Major 13rownrigg of the Grenadier
Guards, and remained nearly an hour, while the non-
commissioned officers at present under a douse of in-
struction fired a number of volleys at 800 yards' range,
and completely riddled the target. His Grace atter-
wards proceeded to the target to examine the effect of
the balls when they hit it. After . his Grace leit the
marshes the non-commissioned officers commenced prac-
tice at 1.000 yards,
„and the firing during the day was
reirtarkably good.. •
DEATH OF MAJOR-GENERAL GRANT, C.B.—This
distinguished Wittetloo oilier died a few d.iys since at
his resicknce in London. The deceased latterly held the
small sitshcure appointrat.nt of Governor of Sail' b2rough

THE LATE SIR JOHN HARVEY, K.C.B.—We have •
already recorded tla, demise of this distinguished officer,
who died at Nuvia Scotia while in the discharge or his
duties vvernor of that colony. Tbo deceased gen_
zloman ws born in 1778, and entered the army at a
very tender age. He saw, during his career, some con-
iiiderabl, civil and military service. Sir John took part
in the campaigns of Holland, the l'*-niusula, France, the
gape, Ceylon, and Egypt; at Bhurtpore he served
under the gallant Loref Combermere. In June,
he was appointed Deputy Adjutant-General in Upp,:•r
Canada, and ho st!rved through the campaigas in 1513
and 1814. In Aurfust, 1814, he was wounded before
Fort Erie. In 1837 he attained the rank of major-
general, and in 1846 that of lieutenant-gf,nersl. Fur
services rendered during the American war, Sir John
received a medal. For some years previous to 1841, he
filled the post of Governor of Now Brunswick. In the
latter year he became Governor and Commander-in-
Chief of Newfoundland. His next appointment was that
of Governor of Nova Scotia. In 1844 he received the
coloneley of the 59th Foot, now at the disposal of the
; Commander-in-Chief.

NAY AL IN TELLIGENCE.
MALTA, APRIL 2.—The only naval movement is
the departure of the Scourge steam-frigate on Satur-
day last for Corfu, whence she would, it is said, pro-
ceed to Constantinople, to be placed at the disposal of
Sir S. Canning.
On Wednesday last the troops in garrison were
brigaded on the Florian parade ground, but owing to
its small size, no evolutions of any importance were
performed.
The Artillery, Sappers, 3d Regiment, 68th Regi-
ment, and Fencibles took part in the exercise.
We cannot help mentioning here the great good
accomplished by General Ellice in repairing, or ra-
ther entirely remaking, the parade ground. It was
formerly an unsightly, rugged piece of ground ; now
it is perfectly regular, so tar as it is completed (the
larger half). The General, seeing what loss of time
would ensue in applying to the engineer (civil) de-
department of Government for effecting his wishes,
resolved on commencing it himself; and, having
done so, has continued it. The outlay for carting,
building, rubbish, &c., up to the present time, is
nearly 2001. When finished it will be well worth
the outlay.
The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Bentinck arrived on Monday last, as did the Banshee,
from Mars(illes. Dates 20th and 24th March respec-
tively. The two vessels made splendid passages.
PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—We are gratified to an-
nounce that the proposition made by the Commander-
in-Chief to the officers and ships' companies of her
Majesty's ships and vessels at Spithead and in this
harbour, to contribute one day's pay each towards a
fund for the relef of the distresses of those left desti-
tute by the loss of relatives in the Birkenhead, has
been met in the best possible spirit, the desire to con-
tribute being unanimous.

M.P., arrived here yesterday,
The Black Eagle Admiralty steam-yacht, Master-
Commander Perley, arrived here to day from Wool-
wicit, to attend upon the Most Noble First Lord of the

Commanding, returned to this port after attending on

DEVONPORT, Aram 8 —The fore and mainmasts
of the Lander have been found defective. She Virba
taken alongside the sheer-hulk yesterday, and they
were both taken out, and also the bowsprit. The ship
was then brought alongside the dockyard, and this
morning she was taken into No. S Dock. Her crew
will be paid wages on Saturday next, when one por-
tion of them will be granted leave according to the
new regulations.
Manceuvrer, lighter, Rosa, master, arrived this
morning with stores from Woolwich. She has brought
above 70 tons for Halifax, which will be taken there
by the Resistance, troop-ship.
PRIZE MANE! FOR THE RIFLEMAN.—Messrs. Stil-
well have given notice that accounts proceeds of the
tonnage bounties granted for the seizure of the slave-
vessels Turam, on the 28th of June, 1849, and the
elm* Irmaas, on the 3d of May, 1850, by her
Majesty's steam-vessel Rifleman, were deposited in
the registry of the High Court of Admiralty, on the
6th inst.
